"Min'er, the Japanese on both sides have surrounded us, and this time, there are more of them."
Zhao Min said calmly: "I saw it, and I'm afraid there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 people."
Zhang Wuji nodded: "The slowness of the Japanese was beyond my expectations. They are even more useless than I thought."
"Although the formation of about 4,000 soldiers is a bit loose, but with the fences and the threat of artillery, it will be impossible for the Japanese to completely surround us in a short time."
"Unless they go around behind Liangyi Mountain."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Even if Inoue Yuma did this, it would probably be too late."
"I don't want the rest, just give it to him. What I want is to cut off Inoue Yu's flag and his head in front of hundreds of thousands of troops."
…
At this moment, Zhao Min is the most proud she has been in the past seven or eight years. Compared with Gong Yu in the previous naval battle, she is even more proud.
She no longer cared about anything. All she wanted now was to defeat Inoue Xiong's central army, and then cut off the general's flag and the commander's head.
…
Amidst the sound of cannon fire, the Ming troops guarding on both sides had begun to reload desperately. The artillery of the Ming army had been constantly improved in recent years. Initially, it was to allow Gong Yu to fire cannonballs farther in naval battles, and now, this advantage has also been shown in the army.
These cannons were dismantled by Gong Yu on her ship when Zhao Min led the army to land. Zhao Min appeared not to want the navy's things, but Gong Yu was smart. She knew that when women say no, they usually mean yes, so she forced more than a hundred cannons on Zhao Min.
Zhao Min originally wanted to use these cannons to attack cities, especially the city of Tokyo, but who would have thought that these cannons would achieve such miraculous effects here.
On land, the accuracy of these cannons is even higher. One shell can hit two miles away, and this is the attack range of iron shells. If it is replaced with polished stone, it may be able to hit one mile further.
Now the Japanese army has pressed forward from both sides, and the density of the army formation is getting higher and higher. One artillery shell can directly penetrate two or three people. A salvo from any side is enough to cause the Japanese to suffer hundreds of casualties.
Moreover, these casualties were extremely tragic. If a shell hit the head directly, the Japanese on the side would probably only see a cloud of blood mist. Under the suppression of such artillery shells, the Japanese who were ordered to block Zhao Min's central army unknowingly slowed down their advance. It was impossible for them to stand in front of Zhao Min. Strictly speaking, even if these tens of thousands of Japanese troops were not delayed by the artillery, they might not be able to stand in front of Zhao Min.
…
Two quarters of an hour later, Zhao Min's army had arrived at the rear of Yang Xiao's cavalry. Yang Xiao's cavalry had suffered heavy casualties. At this point, it was estimated that there were no less than two thousand casualties.
Looking at the heavy armored infantry of Zhang Dingbian and Wei Yixiao, their casualties were actually much less than those of the cavalry, and the role of heavy armor was once again verified.
"The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will last forever, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever."
In the battle, Zhao Min's clear and pleasant voice had an exceptionally strong penetrating power. After hearing this voice, countless Ming army soldiers shouted again: "The sun, moon, mountains and rivers will last forever, and the Ming Dynasty will last forever."
This deafening sound became even louder. Inoue Yu was sure that he had heard the sound several miles away before, but now, the sound was probably only one mile away from him at most.
Inoue Yu was already extremely panicked. He took a deep breath and said, "What's going on? Are all the Ming troops coming here?"
Inoue Yu had given up his previous pretense of calmness. He stood up and then stood on the stool on the carriage. At a glance, it was just as he imagined. The Ming army really had all come over. The third wave of Ming troops launching the attack, also led by Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji themselves, had already pressed to a place one mile away from Inoue Yu's central army.
Such a close distance. To be honest, before the war, Inoue Yu never thought that he would be so close to the Ming army. He always thought that he only needed to hide in the central army and make plans. How could he be so close to the Ming army?
However, just when Inoue Yu was panicking, there was a sound of breaking through the air passing by his ears.
When he reacted, he first felt a pain in his ear. Inoue Xiong looked back and found that an arrow had been nailed not far behind him.
Inoue Yu covered his ears, blood had already dyed half of his cheek red.
The arrow just now was shot by Wei Yixiao. His heavy armored infantry had actually broken through to a place three hundred steps away from Inoue Xiong.
Wei Yixiao only saw a figure appearing on a high place in the distance. He didn't know who that person was, but he felt that since he was wearing strange armor, he must be an important figure. So he calmly shot an arrow, hoping to get lucky, but unexpectedly, he almost succeeded.
"Marshal, Marshal, are you okay?"
Inoue Yu was very scared, but Sasaki, who was next to him, was also very scared.
Sasaki knew better than anyone that no matter how useless Inoue Takeshi was, as long as he was not dead, the 200,000-strong army would not collapse. But if Inoue Takeshi died, the consequence would inevitably be the collapse of the entire 200,000-strong army.
While covering his bloody ears, Inoue Yu asked Sasaki: "Sasaki-kun, at this moment, all the Ming troops should have come here, and are still advancing towards us."
"The soldiers we sent out before failed to stop the Ming army at all, and they didn't even delay them a little. What should we do now?"
It wasn't just Inoue Yu who was confused. Sasaki was also very confused and didn't know what to do.
However, after thinking for a while, Sasaki said: "Marshal, how about we push the central army forward as well."
"At this moment, the advantage is still with me. As long as the central army presses forward, we will be surrounded on three sides. As for the teams we sent out before, with so many people, as long as we give them a little more time, they will definitely be able to break through the thin defense line on both wings of the Ming army. By then, we will be surrounded on four sides. Our 200,000 troops will surround these 30,000 to 40,000 Ming troops. Even if they all grew wings, I am afraid they could not fly out."
