After hearing what Zhang Wuji said, Zhu'er naturally hurried to find her father. Only a moment later, King Yin Ye perfectly carried out Zhang Wuji's instructions.
On the battlefield, any correct decision can save many people and determine the outcome of a battle.
Although it was just an action of raising the muzzle of the gun, this action made Tokugawa Hideyoshi's face change drastically, because just as Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min had expected, he was about to organize a large-scale attack to end the war here. After all, more than 10,000 people were brought here, and they were idle anyway, so they had to contribute.
However, just as Tokugawa Hideyoshi, enduring the severe pain in his shoulder, had just lined up his soldiers, dozens of cannonballs whizzed towards him.
You must know that at this moment the Japanese army had just lined up, and Tokugawa Hideyoshi wanted to drive the Ming army on the river bank into the water in one breath. However, at this moment, dozens of cannonballs whizzed over and hit his army formation squarely.
The population density was so high that although only cannonballs hit the ground, some of them directly penetrated two or even three people. You know, if those iron lumps hit the body, people would either die or be injured. If they splashed again, no one knew how many people would be killed or injured.
Therefore, after a round of artillery fire, Tokugawa Hideyoshi's army began to fall into chaos.
The wailing sounds were one after another.
Tokugawa Hideyoshi thought to himself, "The Ming army has really become ruthless."
"Hurry, carry the injured soldiers away."
However, just when the wounded soldiers had not yet been carried away, the second round of shelling began, and in an instant, there was another burst of wailing.
But it is obvious that those who were able to shout out had a good ending.
Because those who couldn't shout out are already dead.
Tokugawa Hideyoshi yelled, "Don't just stand there. Can't you hide? Charge forward and push the Ming army into the Edogawa River. Are you all made of wood?"
At this point, the army formation was in chaos, and with the wailing sounds that came one after another, few people could hear what Tokugawa Hideyoshi said. However, just when Tokugawa Hideyoshi was determined to kill people to stabilize the morale of the army, two more arrows flew towards him. As a person with profound cultivation, at this moment, he felt his hair stand on end and he felt that his life was about to be lost. In desperation, Tokugawa Hideyoshi had to roll on the ground, and the two arrows passed by him.
"Damn it," Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei said almost in unison. They had already come to a place not far away from Tokugawa Hideyoshi with their strange body movements without knowing when.
The two shots missed, but they shot the guards around Tokugawa Hideyoshi through the heart. Then the two of them quickly bent their bows and drew their arrows. Tokugawa Hideyoshi knew that he had been targeted by the powerful archers of the Ming army, so he rolled on the ground and came behind a group of his own soldiers.
The powerful piercing sound of the arrow came as expected, and two more Japanese soldiers died.
Looking at Yang Xiao and the others again: "Soldiers, I'm afraid the Japanese are about to launch another organized charge."
"Be sure to clear a position for me. His Majesty is waiting to cross the river for breakfast."
…
Some things, once interrupted, will never produce the desired effect again.
Although it was only a moment, dozens of people holding long-handled axes jumped to the other side of the river. Just as the Ming army soldiers launched a charge, the pontoon bridge was still being built forward. The simple pontoon bridge had been built directly to the river bank.
At this moment, the Ming army soldiers hardly had to wade through water and could run directly towards the Japanese on the opposite side.
Those Ming army officers and soldiers had all fought in wars. They knew at a glance that if they wanted to survive today, they had to successfully capture the river bank, that is, win this battle. Otherwise, with so many people, it would be impossible to retreat. They would either be chopped to pieces by the Japanese who outnumbered them ten times, or drowned in the Edogawa River. Therefore, these officers and soldiers were willing to risk their lives. In addition, they had already controlled an area on the river bank. Although it was impossible for tens of thousands of troops to be deployed in this area, it was enough for more than a thousand people to fight.
Therefore, at this moment, as long as the Japanese do not gather tens of thousands of people to charge, the Ming army will most likely be able to continue advancing.
…
The Ming army soldiers advanced faster and faster.
Zhao Min, who was on the other side of the river, had an expression that became more and more natural.
Seeing this, Zhang Wuji quickly said, "It's all thanks to Min'er."
Zhao Min rolled her eyes at him fiercely: "Don't give me that. Why didn't you flatter me like this when you bullied me?"
Zhang Wuji was a little embarrassed: "This is a different time now. Of course I have the final say when I bully you."
Zhao Min rolled her eyes at him again and said, "If you want to bully me, just wait and see. I've been gathering my strength, and sooner or later I'll let you know how powerful I am."
…
Looking at Tokugawa Hideyoshi, after dodging a few arrows, he shouted to his soldiers again: "Charge, charge, we can't let the Ming army advance anymore, we can't let the Ming army gain a foothold. If we let them gain a foothold, you will all die."
Tokugawa Hideyoshi was already extremely furious, but this time, what responded to him was the cannonballs that arrived as promised. Dozens of cannonballs fell into the Japanese camp, but the lethality of the cannonballs was obviously not as great as the previous times, because Tokugawa Hideyoshi's army formation was completely in chaos.
Takeda Nobuo, who was also hit by an arrow, came to Tokugawa Hideyoshi again and said: "Marshal, are you crazy? The Ming army's artillery shells are bombarding here. If you are hit, there will be no one in Japan who can fight."
Tokugawa Hideyoshi was organizing his soldiers to counterattack and had no time to care about so many things: "Takeda-kun, if this goes on, the Ming army will probably gain a foothold on the river bank. Help me organize an attack."
Before Takeda Nobuo could say anything, a cannonball hit Tokugawa Hideyoshi, and dust flew everywhere, covering Tokugawa Hideyoshi's face.
On this day, I don't know whether Tokugawa Hideyoshi was lucky or unlucky. He was lucky because he happened to avoid the sniping attacks of Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei, as well as the cannonball just now. He was unlucky because the god of death had waved to him several times.
Nobuo Takeda didn't care about so many things. He grabbed Tokugawa Hideyoshi's wrist and dragged him away for a long distance before saying, "The army formation is already in chaos. It is impossible to regroup under such circumstances. What's more, you are a general now and cannot stand under a dangerous wall."
