Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Ono Haogu wrote that the army was insufficient, and asked the court to increase the number of troops by another 20,000.

There was an uproar among the ministers of Ping'an Jing, and some people immediately impeached Ono Haogu. Fujiwara Chaocheng scolded in public: "I have never seen such a shameless person! Ono was defeated by ten times the enemy, shouldn't he be ashamed|ashamed|declared?"

Some ministers echoed, "I heard that Shi Jian's bandits were only 300 to 500 people, and Mr. Ono is also called a general, but he wants 50 people to beat one person. It's crazy, it's unreasonable!"

However, the Emperor and the Minister of Sekiguan did not punish Yoshiko Ono for his crimes. Not long after, the Emperor decreed to agree to Yoshiko Ono's request, and promised to recruit elite warriors from Kanto, Kansai, and Kyushu, as well as ashigaru reinforcements to Ishimiko.

...In Dasen City Walled City, the thin and thin Ono Haogu knelt under the eaves, sighed and said to the bald Khitan man sitting cross-legged next to him: "The current imperial court dare not punish me, and can only agree to my request. The war between the two countries has begun, and I will die first. Who will take responsibility for this matter? We can only hope that I will end well."

Yang Dagon thought for a while, then nodded in agreement. He is also a general, but he has experienced these internal turmoil in Liao.

At this moment, Ono Koko suddenly revealed a look of sadness, looked at the falling leaves of the cherry trees in the yard, and murmured: "Next spring, I don't know if I can still enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms?"

Yang Gun was not used to this general who always hurts the spring and the autumn, and cursed in his heart: "Mother, if he wants to die, why should he care about a few flowers?"

On the lips, he persuaded: "In front of the enemy, Ono-kun should not speak despondent words."

Kono Ono said solemnly: "I am ready to die for His Majesty the Emperor at any time!"

Some of his mentality made Yang Gun very uncomfortable, but Yang Gun appreciated his actions. Kono Ono learned about Xu Jun's equipment and tactics in detail this time, and actively prepared countermeasures.

The gathering and deployment of troops lasted for more than a month.

Ono Haogu completely gave up the practice of sending someone to challenge Xu Jun because of his actual combat experience and Yang Gun's suggestion. He deployed about 25,000 people into four large camps around Iwami Fort, all located more than one mile away, and built camps and fortifications; the southern camp was located on the opposite bank of the Sanping River, and a pontoon bridge was built on the water. A large number of military supplies arrived at Nanying Wharf along the Sanpingchuan River.

They trained the horses every day (the training method Yang Gun used when he was in the Pingxia area), and then re-drilled the sparse formation.

In the small Omori area, the Japanese army mobilized more than 20,000 troops to gather in one place, which was unprecedented since the capital was moved to Heian-kyo. The battle here will definitely attract the attention of the whole of Japan.

There is an arrow tower in front of the camp, and an antique wooden archway has been built at the gate of the camp, with flags fluttering all around, and the noise is abnormal.

Standing on the viewing car to the north, Koko Ono looked at the Iwami Tubao in the distance. He often had the illusion that such a small Tubao, under the siege of tens of thousands of troops, should have been wiped out overnight!

There was no communication between the two sides, because the last time Yoshiko Ono sent a general to challenge, he was rudely shot directly into a hornet's nest, and he didn't want to make fun of himself again.

The generals and warriors from all over the world knew that what the Japanese army was going to deal with this time was the fortress they besieged. The morale of the army is high... fifty to one, there is no reason for lack of confidence!

Even Yoshiko Ono, who had suffered a lot, gradually felt that victory was only a matter of time.

When the autumn wind was getting colder, the Japanese army was ready, and Yoshiko Ono decided to attack the fortress again!

"Let's attack from all sides, first fill up the trenches, and then shoot with bows and arrows to suppress the bandits and open the way for the troops to ascend the city!" Ono Haogu ordered the generals of the fourth battalion.

"Haha!" The crowd shouted imposingly.

Ono Koko said again: "The thieves' firepower is fierce, and many warriors must have died because of it, but we died for the emperor, and died for Japan not to be reduced to slaves! Yamato warriors can only be smashed, not destroyed!"

Immediately there was shouting in the camp, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.

Not long after, the bright red sun was rising from the east, and hordes of Japanese soldiers were looking at the humble bunker. The drums sounded, and a group of mounted warriors lined up outside the northern camp took the lead in attacking from a mile away!

The samurai with strong and sharp Japanese bows rode forward on horseback, and a large number of ashigaru with bows and arrows and spears rushed forward behind. The warriors yelled and yelled, and the large group of infantry behind them also echoed and yelled, dust rose up on the battlefield, and the momentum was magnificent.

After a while, I saw fires flashing several times in the dust and mist, and the ground trembled for a moment, and then "boom boom boom..." loud noises came. Everyone lost their colors, and the black shadows suddenly roared through the dust and mist!

"Ah! Ah..." There were screams everywhere.

Many soldiers saw this kind of battle for the first time, and continued to charge forward in horror. Cannonballs came through the air one after another, corpses and wounded were discarded everywhere along the way, and the shouts on the battlefield became even louder.

After several sporadic bombardments, the forward of the Japanese army rushed to the outer ditch, only fifty or sixty steps away from the earth fortress! When the ashigaru came up, they dug the soil into the trench, and the horse warriors raised their bows and arrows, looking up at the wall of the earthen castle.

There was humidity in the early morning by the seaside. After the gunfire, the gunpowder smoke made the fort very foggy. At this time, I couldn't see the scene above clearly, only people could be seen swaying in the smoke from time to time.

"Bang bang bang..." All of a sudden, the flames flickered in the dense fog, and the warriors by the ditch saw blood splashing from their armor, screaming everywhere, people fell to the ground constantly, flashes of light from several directions, and bullets seemed to be flying from all directions!

The Japanese army couldn't take it anymore, they turned around and ran away. The warriors drew their bows on the horses and fired a few arrows in confusion, and then they also rode their horses and ran away. When retreating, they were shot and killed by several firearms, causing heavy casualties, and finally turned into a chaotic escape, with men and horses throwing away their helmets and armor, and scrambling to be the first.

When the rebellious soldiers arrived in front of the camp, a general of the camp roared angrily: "Cowards who are timid before the battle, because of you, all previous efforts in this attack have been wasted. How can you face the warriors who died in battle?"

The retreating samurai and infantry suffered unspeakably, but fleeing was humiliating to the samurai, and they were ashamed.

The general ordered some people to be tied|tied to stakes, and their abdomens were ripped open with samurai|swords! The bloody scenes of intestines and flesh are used to inspire soldiers!

"Kill!" The second group of men and horses had already launched a charge during the execution. This time the samurai also rode on foot, rushing wildly with the infantry.

The black shadow iron bullet fell into the crowd again. The dust cloud was even bigger, and the shells could only be seen when they were very close. People saw the head of the knight on horseback explode suddenly, and the brains and blood flew out.

"Defend the land of Japan, long live!" The warriors roared loudly, not only courage, but also endless fear in their voices.

The ashigaru soldiers were even more terrified. They endured the extreme fear of the unknown and walked through the fog. They could only hear thunderous roars, screams, and shouts in their ears. The choking dust mist carried a disgusting smell of blood! This place is like hell.

But among them were the soldiers who were about to be defeated at the first touch. They saw the artillery for the second time. They found that today's shelling was actually not as fierce as last time, and the invading bandits were more restrained in firing today.

The second attack still approached behind the ditch, and the Japanese soldiers came forward and saw corpses everywhere...the dead and wounded left behind.

"Bang bang bang..." There was another explosion in the foggy direction. People kept falling to the ground and hissing and screaming, and the people who had been shot by the lead pills were in great pain. People have no warning at all before being shot, and no one knows when they will be shot.

"Ah! Ah!" An ashigaru suddenly knelt on the ground, holding his head in his hands, and raised his head, hissing and crying.

More people are biting the bullet and digging soil into the ditch with a shovel. "Bang bang bang..." The flashes sounded in turn, like will-o'-the-wisps! The warriors found themselves charging against the fortress, but most of the flashes were diagonally opposite, and very few were facing the front!

The samurai held more sophisticated bows and shot arrows at the flashing place, and they couldn't see if they missed the shot. They saw that many people fell to the ground every round of flashing on their side.

They really couldn't bear this death-like situation. Not long after, some people took advantage of the fog and couldn't see clearly and turned around to escape, and more people followed suit.

A general stood in front of the ditch, threw away his bow and arrow, pulled out his samurai sword and waved it at the fort, opened his chest, and roared loudly. Going back to be stripped | belly, the general decided to die in battle, but the soldiers on the left and right fell to the ground one after another. He stood there and yelled for a long time but was not shot...

The second round of attack was a complete failure. At this time, the Chinese army arrived quickly and stopped the army from continuing to launch the same charge.

The huge noise on the battlefield gradually subsided, the sea breeze blew away the dust and gunpowder smoke, and there were corpses everywhere on the muddy ground around Iwami Fort.

The situation of the Japanese army in the first battle was very bad, Yoshiko Ono ordered a truce today. He thinks that this way of fighting will cause too many casualties, and if he endures this level of casualties every day, he will be finished in less than half a month!

"Our troops don't need to attack from all sides, we only need to attack from one side and feint from several sides." Ono Koko thought for a long time and said, "Fighting from all sides, the total number of casualties is too much."

However, Yang Gun objected: "Looking at the size of the fortress, the strength of Xu's army is only 300 to 500 people. Constantly attacking one place is a way to add fuel to the lamp. It should be besieged from all sides, day and night, to exhaust and exhaust the enemy army."

Kono Ono said: "Using the lives of soldiers to waste? How many people will I have to fill the ditch!"

Yang Gun said coldly: "The sea route is impassable, Xu Jun has no source of troops to supplement, but Ono-kun is fighting in Japan, with a population of at least one million, how can you cherish human life in war?"

Ono Koko also sneered back and said: "Is this general going to report that the troops are not enough? It is unprecedented to increase the number of troops this time, and it will become a laughingstock for all ages!"

He felt that Yang Gun's tactics would not work at all, and the entire army would be dragged down in a few days... There was no need for all casualties, and the survivors who were defeated every time were difficult to use again for a while, and needed to be rested and reorganized.

Yoshiko Ono discussed with the Japanese generals and decided to adopt a strategy of feinting and concentrating on attacking the north the next day.
