Domineering Daming

For the Ming army, this was a last stand, and no one was lucky enough to fight with the shogunate army with swords and guns like the tide.

Hei Tianzhongzhi knew that he also had no way out in this battle. If the Ming army was defeated, his end would be extremely miserable, so he worked harder than the Ming army. 1 people separated from both sides and strangled with the shogunate army.

Itakura Shigemasa watched from a distance, his face was cold and his eyes were gloomy.

The reaction of the generals of the Ming army and the fighting power they showed exceeded his expectations. These 1 people actually blocked his offensive and were not defeated immediately!

Itakura Shigemasa's artillery is still firing at the Ming army, but with the entanglement between the two sides, it has not had much effect.

The two sides turned into a fight of cold weapons, fighting for each other, not giving an inch.

Even in such a fight, Li Dingguo is still constantly adjusting, arranging troops, rushing from left to right.

Li Dingguo did not think about breaking out from the front, but concentrated his forces and launched a frontal attack with the shogunate army.

He is not defending, but attacking!

The Ming army was fighting with all their strength, one by one against ten, and they were extremely brave.Even Heitian Zhongzhi's people are extremely vicious and murderous.

Itakura Shigemasa watched from behind, with an unconscious expression on his face.

He originally thought that the Ming army was at an absolute disadvantage in this situation, and they shouldn't break up and flee for their lives, but he didn't expect that they would burst out with such a great lethality.

Naturally, Itakura Shigemasu could not be defeated, his eyes were cold, and he said, "When will the reinforcements arrive?"

A retainer behind him also had a solemn expression, and said, "We came too fast, they probably won't have time to come over."

Itakura Shigemasa said, "What about Izumori?"

The retainer hesitated, and said, "I don't know."

Itakura Shigemasa glanced at him, picked up the binoculars again, and looked at the two armies fighting.

The battle is getting more and more anxious, and the armies of both sides have become entangled, and it is difficult to distinguish each other.

He looked embarrassed and his eyes were dark.

If he can't win a one-sided victory, what face will he show in this battle!

In the army formation, Li Dingguo gradually stabilized his momentum, blocked the attack of the shogunate, swept away the previous nervousness, his morale was like a rainbow, and his murderous aura was soaring.

"kill!"

Li Dingguo roared, holding a long spear, and pinned a rushing warrior to the ground.

The lieutenants seemed to have heard it too, and they all roared angrily, covered in blood, and rushed forward regardless.

Heitian Zhongzhi and others saw the hope of "undefeated" and worked even harder than the Ming army.

The Ming army's momentum was like a rainbow, and subtle preparations took place in the battle situation. From the shogunate army's main attack, the Ming army's main defense changed to a stalemate, and the Ming army even had a slight upper hand.

The corners of Itakura Shigemasa's eyes twitched fiercely, he pulled out his knife, and said coldly, "Everyone, follow me!"

The faces of the two retainers behind him changed slightly, it was all bets!

At this time, they couldn't help but flinch.

Itakura Shigesho's hundreds of people quickly pressed up.

The battle between the two sides not only did not get tired over time, but became increasingly fierce.

For Itakura Shigemasa, this was a life-and-death battle. If he lost, he would have no chance to stand up and die without a place to die, so he did his best and was desperate.

Li Dingguo refused to budge even an inch, no matter the cost.For him, if he retreated, it would be tantamount to a big defeat, tantamount to death, and it would be the first setback in the strategy of the Ming Dynasty!

For both of them, it is unacceptable, and neither will back down.

Boundless massacres appeared in the forest, as fierce as a meat grinder, screaming, shouting, begging for mercy, blood flowing like a river.

This battle lasted for several hours, from the time when the sun was shining until the end of the sunset.

The two sides also gradually calmed down from killing red eyes. Perhaps because of exhaustion, the battle between the two sides was not as fierce as before, but they were still entangled.

Itakura Shigemasa's eyes were bloodshot, his face was covered with blood, his arms could no longer move, his voice was already hoarse, and he was still slashing.

The retainers around him couldn't take it any longer, looked at the corpses all over the ground, couldn't see the end of the battlefield, squeezed to Itakura Shigemasa, and said loudly: "Dian, let's withdraw, we can't continue fighting."

Itakura Shigemasa was almost insane, his eyes were blood red, and he roared angrily: "Ming people must be eliminated, and no one can be left behind!"

The retainer yelled, "But, it's getting dark soon."

Itakura Shigemasao was a little sober now, looked up, and sure enough, the sun was setting, and the sky and the earth had a dark color.

Even if he insists now, when it gets dark, he will have to retreat if he does not retreat!

Itakura Shigemasa looked at the Ming army who still did not show defeat, and gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing to use his teeth to tear the Ming army to pieces.

If he withdraws his army now, it will be a disastrous defeat, and even a caesarean section will not atone for his sins!

"Dian, withdraw!" The retainer yelled again.They fought and fought with the Ming army when their military strength was particularly strong. If it continued, they might be the ones who lost!

Itakura Shigemasu was extremely unwilling, but in this situation, he couldn't help but withdraw.

Looking at the still standing Ming army, he ordered the withdrawal of the army bitterly.

Seeing that the Japanese army had withdrawn, Li Dingguo didn't order to pursue him, but stopped attacking knowingly, and began to retreat one after another.

The two armies withdrew separately, and the battlefield was not cleaned. One south and one north, they began to retreat and repair.

Itakura Shigesho headed north, and he had to return to the Kanmon Strait or receive reinforcements to be temporarily safe.

Li Dingguo withdrew to the inner city of the mansion, and with the support of the navy, he could breathe a sigh of relief temporarily.

The two armies originally had their own purposes, but now both sides have suffered losses, and each retreated.

But from a strategic point of view, the purpose of Wa this time was to destroy the Ming army in the north, but it failed.Although the Ming army suffered heavy losses, it was not wiped out, and it was still a nail nailed to the north of Jiuguo Island.

Therefore, the Ming army won this battle.

Itakura Shigesho went all the way north, cautiously and quite cautiously.Although Heitian Zhongzhi is capable of controlling the five northern countries, no one knows how much influence he has. Itakura Shigemasa was also afraid of being ambushed and hurried northward.

Li Dingguo, who returned to the inner city of the mansion, was cleaning the wound while listening to the report.

The lieutenant general said: "My lord, we have suffered more than [-] deaths and injuries, and more than [-] people were directly killed in battle. There may be more on Heitian Zhongzhi..."

A school lieutenant said: "Captain Cao has already brought us food and grass supplies, but it may take a month for the reinforcements to arrive..."

"Tadayuki Kuroten has sent back news that Itakura Shigesho had [-] reinforcements across the Kanmon Strait, but they returned before reaching the Bungo Domain. One is that our combat power has made the Japanese fearful, and the other should be the navy's attack on the Kanmon Strait. put pressure on..."
