Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 819: Yang Dagon on the Run

"Kill! Kill!" Ono Koko stood there and yelled, his stature was a bit short, and his movements at this time were completely devoid of manners! His emotions were even crazier, because he got the news that Xu Jun had landed on the southern coast, and there were thousands of people!

The natural coast of the Omori area has almost no places suitable for ports, and it has not been transformed at this time. Either it is a cliff, or it is a beach, and the coastline is too vertical, it is inconvenient to shelter from the wind... shallow water beach, sharp-bottomed sea boats cannot directly land on the shore, and soldiers can only be transported to the beach by small boats or flat-bottomed boats.

Therefore, Xu Jun's navy chose to land in the south.

At this time, a group of troops besieging the fortress defenders in front were defeated! Fighting hand to hand, fighting till late at night and still being defeated? Kono Ono immediately ordered a new batch of troops to attack again.

A horse galloped towards him, and the general got off his horse and said, "Mr. Xiaoye, the striker of Xu Jun's reinforcements has occupied Sanpingchuan, and if he ignores it, he will join forces with the Tubao defenders!"

Ono Haogu temporarily ordered: "Leave 3,000 troops to continue attacking the enemy soldiers in Iwami Fort, and the rest gather in the south to fight against Xu's reinforcements!"

Yang Dagon was very surprised when he heard this, and blurted out, "Why does Ono-kun have such thoughts?"

Ono Haogu said: "Xu Jun's reinforcements are only a few thousand people, and even fewer people landed. Our troops are several times the number of enemy troops!"

Yang Gun pondered for a moment, and said, "You can't judge the outcome of a battle by the number of people. If Mr. Ono is fighting against Xu Jun's large formation in an open field today, there may be no suspense in the result! I hope Mr. Ono thinks twice before acting."

If someone had told Ono Haogu before that he would fight with several times more troops..."There is no suspense in the result", he would definitely not believe it. But now, Koko Ono obviously believed it.

He thought about it for a while, and said: "There is no other choice! Besides, there is no chance at this time!"

After Kono Ono finished speaking, he began to personally order the various ministries to rectify their troops. That night, although there were a lot of torches, the line of sight was different from that of the day, and the army was a little confused.

At this moment, a member of the Ministry stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Xiaoye, that Khitan man Yang Gun is missing, he seems to have run away!"

In the moody ups and downs, this matter seemed to be a thorn in Koko Ono's heart. In the cool night wind, he had the feeling of being gradually abandoned by everyone.

The general said: "The Khitans can't run very far in our territory, but we can send out a small group of scouts to catch them!"

Ono Haogu pondered for a while, then sighed: "No need, let him go."

Ono Haogu made such a decision because he knew a lot about Yang Dagon after getting along for so long. From his identity to his actual actions, this person was indeed helping the Japanese army. Now I abandon it, it must be because I feel that there is no chance... not because of spies.

After gathering the main force of the Japanese army, they went south to the north bank of Sanpingchuan River. The river bank was full of flames, and there were a large number of people and horses. At this time, Ono Koko has become accustomed to the situation that the enemy will act recklessly if he does not insist on reporting his name. Everyone does not know when the fight started, and the conflict ensued.

The scene on the battlefield is not very clear, only flashes of light can be seen.

"Crackling..." The flames flickered in the distance, and rows of familiar explosions followed one after another. A stream of torches swirled like a flashing tide.

In less than half an hour, a large number of Japanese soldiers collapsed in pieces, and the soldiers fled northward in chaos. Ono Koko saw this scene, his mind went blank. At that time, no one could control the army anymore.

"Baga!" Ono Koko roared angrily, but he couldn't have any effect on the rout of the tide. There was still a group of people around him who didn't go up, so he drew out his samurai swords and ordered them to counterattack and reverse the defeat!

There are many elite warriors around the general, led by the knights on horseback, followed by the ashigaru, and the last group of reserve troops rushed over screaming.

"On board!" The knights on horseback shouted to charge forward with their bows and arrows in hand.

"Crackling..." The flames flickered in front of them, and there was an endless stream. The bows, arrows and knives of the warriors were thrown everywhere, and the riders seemed to have stepped into a trap suddenly, screaming and falling off their horses.

Seeing this, the infantry at the back moved slowly, as if their feet had been filled with lead, they hunched forward cautiously with their longbows on their backs. He hadn't entered the range of the ashigaru bow and arrow, let alone saw the opponent's military appearance clearly, only the torches and flashes were shaking.

"Ahh..." Soon the people in front screamed and made a mess.

"Kill! Kill..." Yoshiko Ono swung the samurai|sword on the horse, but a large number of people around him shouted and fled backwards in the opposite direction.

...At the gate of Iwami Fortress, the corpses had already piled up half a person's height, and the two armies seemed to be fighting for a hill...a hill piled up with flesh and blood dead bodies!

The crackling sound of firearms in the distance, as well as a large number of chaotic soldiers fleeing with torches in the dark, finally allowed Zhang Jiankui and others to determine what happened. At first, everyone couldn't believe it!

At this time, Zhang Jiankui shouted: "Reinforcements, here we come!"

"Drink!" The morale of the hundreds of soldiers who were still gathered in the formation was greatly boosted, and they shouted together, and the momentum was still shaking.

The attacking Japanese army was also retreating. Zhang Jiankui was the first to climb over the "hill". All the troops shouted: "Kill!" At this time, he had been aggrieved in the bunker for several months, and it seemed that the only way to vent his suffocation was to get out.

Among the countless ladders outside the city, Japanese soldiers and horses fled in chaos. Many people had lost their torches, and they couldn't see the ground clearly in panic. A large number of Japanese soldiers fell into the trenches when they fled... Although they were filled in many places, the Japanese army did not need to dig soil to fill them all up.

Zhang Jiankui's troops rushed up and down, Xu Jun also lost his ranks while running, and the chaotic soldiers rushed in.

"Ah!" A general jumped into the ditch first, chopping wildly with his sword. A Japanese soldier who was climbing the ditch looked back and saw a big man with a face covered in blood and mud stabbing him with a shining sword.

Except for the plate armor on their bodies, Xu Jun soldiers who were dressed in ragged clothes and covered in dirt rushed up, many of them with disheveled hair, stabbing anyone with single-handed swords and cherry guns.

The defeated Japanese army on the Sanping River also passed by nearby, and there were more troops in the dark night. There are also reinforcements from Xu Jun who came in pursuit, and the forwards are also chaotic, massacring|killing in chaos on the battlefield...

The flames of war stretched all the way to the mountains and forests to the east, and the hustle and bustle continued throughout the night!

In the early morning, the surrounding area of ​​Iwami Fort is gray, the sky is getting brighter but the sun is not visible, and the sky is shrouded in haze. The surroundings are still not quiet. Beside a ditch, a group of rebels were noisily driven over by the soldiers.

"Bang bang bang..." Suddenly a row of firearms exploded. The screams followed, and many people rolled into the ditch together with the corpses, but the musketeers who immediately changed teams fired a volley into the ditch, filled with gunpowder smoke, and screamed very miserable.

Han Tong rode over and turned his head to see that a group of people were surrounding a big pit, stabbing at the people inside with cherry guns. He didn't stop the crazy actions of the rebellious soldiers, because the East Island battlefield was too far away from the mainland, and Han Tong felt that there was not so much food to feed the captives.

There are corpses, broken flags, and weapons everywhere, and the battlefield is very messy. Not far away, a wounded war horse was struggling among the piles of corpses.

Han Tong led his troops and rode close to Shijian Fort. He looked at the fort for a long time, and his eyes stayed on the hill of corpses at the gate of the city for a long time. At this moment, a civil servant came over with a group of ragged men.

The current civil servant is Zan Jurun, a cabinet minister of the Daxu court and Minister of Industry, Zan Jurun clasped his hands and shouted loudly from a distance: "It's a coincidence that Lord Jingguo is here, so I have to collect the corpses of this official and the soldiers for being late one day!"

Except for the king with a different surname, Han Tong's title was the highest in the Xu Dynasty, so he sat on the horse and held his fists together as a military salute: "Master Zan, are you all right?"

Zan Jurun laughed as he approached, "It's all right! Haha! But I lost half my life."

A brash military general and some soldiers in the back clasped their fists and said, "Greetings, Lord Yasukuni."

Han Tong nodded to indicate that the highest level of generals here is the commander, which is quite different from his level. However, Han Tong rarely said a good word: "I respect you all!"

Zhang Jiankui hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The last general is just waiting to fulfill his duty!"

When looking at Zan Jurun again, Han Tong really didn't feel that this guy lost half his life. Zan Jurun was well-dressed, his official hat and uniform were neatly dressed, and his face was white and clean, while the soldiers behind him were actually dirtier than the refugees.

Zan Jurun's white face was flushed, as if he was drunk, and he was very excited after not sleeping all night. He immediately said: "I dare the imperial court to defeat the main force of Japan's sea and land with thousands of people. This great achievement must be written down in the history, hahaha..."

He was the only one laughing in the audience...

Han Tong replied: "I haven't thought about it."

"Duke Yasukuni, please!" Zan Jurun pointed to the bunker surrounded by corpses.

At this moment, Han Tong jumped off his horse, threw the reins to his followers, and walked with Zan Jurun and others.

Zan Jurun sighed again: "Like Nanke Yimeng, the subordinate officials and the generals commanded by Dongdao really didn't expect that the Daxu Navy would come to reinforce them."

Han Tong said truthfully: "For several months, the officials have been asking and urging the navy to prepare every day, and they are very concerned."

Zhang Jiankui, who was behind, couldn't help but said next to the high-ranking person: "The sage is rich and universal, and he is dedicated to serving the public. He treats his ministers with sincerity. How dare the soldiers dereliction of duty?"

Han Tong said coldly: "During the construction of these warships, more than a thousand officials, craftsmen and their families were exiled to Xiazhou because the supervisors and craftsmen ignored the imperial government's orders and neglected their duties."

After hearing this, everyone sighed.

Zan Jurun asked: "The officials sent Lord Jingguo to the east. What should we do after the Battle of Ishijian Castle?"

Han Tong said calmly, "Your Majesty was furious when he heard about the East Island incident. He once said that Ping An Jing would be razed to the ground. Therefore, after occupying the port near Ping An Jing, I decided to bring the artillery ashore first, and then blast the entire city of Ping An Jing to death!"
