Chapter 167 Ulsan's Attack and Defense Begins

"kill!"

The old city of Ulsan was reduced to a sea of ​​fire, and the Ming and Han armies took advantage of the situation to attack.

Li Qian, holding the Fire Dragon Spear, led the Anxi Army, the Tang Dynasty's Modao Team, the Tujiang Army, the Women's Army and other elite infantry troops to attack the city together with Li Rumei's Ming Army.

Li Siye raised a Mo Dao and chopped down a Japanese warrior's helmet on the head, splitting it into two pieces!
The Tang Dynasty's Modao Army grabbed the Modao and rushed forward, swinging the Modao wildly, and anyone who blocked it was killed.

The elite infantry of the Anxi Army, the Modao Army and other units fought bravely to win the credit.

Di Qing had disheveled hair and wore a bronze mask. He wielded the Shenji Wansheng Water Dragon Sword with the aura of a water dragon. With one blow of the sword, he cut off the spear in the hand of a Japanese general, and blood splattered everywhere.

Eight hundred military merits were gained.

"Chasing the clouds and the moon!"

Ming army general Li Rumei showed his power again and shot a magic arrow at the forehead of a third-rate Japanese general, killing him with one blow.

The sea of ​​fire caused by the Shenjin Camp burned down most of the city’s defenses, causing a sharp drop in the morale of the Japanese army.

With no strategic locations to defend, the Japanese army was forced to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army.

And field battles happened to be the Ming army's advantage.

A group of brave generals of the Ming army camp led the charge, and after the fire was almost out, they broke through the broken walls and led their troops straight in.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The sound of cannon fire echoed in the billowing smoke, hundreds of Ming soldiers were shot dead, and the mountains and rivers were stained with blood.

Li Qian pulled out the spear in his hand, and a Japanese general fell to the ground. He looked in the direction where the sound of the cannon came from, and saw a Japanese general holding a samurai sword and commanding the cannon foot soldiers to carry out a three-stage attack.

Rows of cannons fired at the same time, and the air was filled with smoke.

Among Japan's conventional troops, the Iron Cannon Ashigaru pose the greatest threat to the Ming army and Eastern Han players.

Even heavily armored soldiers could not resist the penetration of firearms, and generals could be killed.

The iron cannon foot soldiers also have disadvantages, that is, the number of iron cannons is small and the defense is poor. Once they are approached by infantry or cavalry, they are basically waiting to be killed.

Therefore, there were spearmen guarding the arquebusiers to resist cavalry attacks.

This group of arquebus foot soldiers, protected by a group of samurai, fired at the Ming army and the players in the Ming army camp. As many as 20,000 to 30,000 Ming soldiers died in the arquebus team's three-stage attack, and there were thousands of player casualties.

The number of the teppo ashigaru was 40,000, and the number of the samurai, ronin, and long spear ashigaru gathered near the teppo ashigaru was no less than 160,000.

With such a large group of Japanese troops gathered around a main general, it is easy to tell his position in the Japanese army.

This Japanese general was most likely the daimyo Asano Yukinaga who guarded the City God Hall.

Asano Yukinaga was the son of Asano Nagamasa, the head of the five magistrates of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He was only seventeen years old at the time, but he fought bravely. Even though a lot of the city defenses of Chenghuangtang were damaged, he still led the Japanese army to fight to the death and refused to retreat from Chenghuangtang.

Asano Yukinaga's iron cannon team killed and wounded a large number of Ming troops, becoming the biggest obstacle for Li Rumei's Ming army to capture Chenghuangtang.

Li Qian glanced at the battlefield and found that there were still a number of grain carts that had not been completely burned by the fire. He came up with a plan: "Shubao, Jingde, Siye, Hanchen, Wenchang!"

"The general is here!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Li Qian called out names continuously, and all the generals responded almost in unison.

After several brutal battles in a row, these fierce generals became blood-thirsty and killed with blood.

These brave generals and the Anxi Army carried tall wooden carts loaded with straw and wood and used them as shield carts. They mixed in with the Ming army and approached Asano Yukinaga's iron cannon team.

These simple shield carts could greatly reduce the damage of iron cannons. The Ming and Han armies discovered Li Qian's clever plan, so they followed suit and also pushed baggage carts to attack.

In the absence of supply wagons, they simply removed the door panels, held them up, and launched the attack under the volleys of musket fire.

The Ming army's Shenjiying also arrived in place one after another, and the tiger squat cannon bombarded Asano Yukinaga's iron cannon team. The Shenjiying's musketeers began to fight back, and the projectiles fell into Asano Yukinaga's iron cannon foot soldiers team, and foot soldiers were shot and killed one after another.

A personal soldier beside Asano Yukinaga was killed by a lead bullet from the Tiger Crouching Cannon, forcing the fanatical Asano Yukinaga to calm down.

The artillery of the Ming army's Shenjiying was too fierce. If they continued to defend, there was a high possibility that the whole army would be wiped out.

A small group of samurai with flags behind them broke into Asano Yukinaga's formation and said, "Lord Asano, Lord Kato has ordered you to retreat to Shimayama Castle!"

Asano Yukinaga looked at the battlefield filled with smoke. The defensive fortifications that Chenghuangtang had built with great difficulty were destroyed by the attack of the Shenjiying of the Ming army. Hundreds of thousands of Ming troops and troops from the Eastern Han Dynasty broke into Chenghuangtang, and the city could no longer be defended.

Although he was unwilling, Asano Yukinaga had to retreat.

"Arrow of the Holy Emperor!"

"shoot with great precision!"

"Cloud-piercing arrow!"

A group of brave generals pushed grain carts towards Asano Yukinaga's iron cannon team. The sharpshooters and longbowmen hiding behind fired thousands of arrows. The arrows fell into the iron cannon team with cold light. At least thousands of iron cannon foot soldiers were shot and killed.

The arrow shot by Li Qian went straight to the head of the Japanese general Asano Yukinaga.

Asano Yukinaga swung his katana with both hands, splitting the arrows.

The impact of the arrow made Asano Yukinaga's wrist numb.

Li Qian's fighting strength is 101. If Asano Yukinaga had not been able to block the arrow, he would probably have died on the spot.

Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and other brave generals charged into the iron cannon foot soldiers like a tiger into a flock of sheep, and were invincible.

The iron cannon foot soldiers' iron cannons were difficult to use as close combat weapons, so they could only draw the short swords at their waists to fight, but were killed instantly by Qin Qiong's bronze mace and Yuchi Jingde's iron whip.

"Don't let the thief leader escape!"

Li Qian was not very interested in defeating the arquebusiers, his only target was Asano Yukinaga.

The Fire Dragon Spear in Li Qian's hand swept through thousands of troops. Every samurai, ronin, and player was pierced with a bloody hole by Li Qian's Fire Dragon Spear.

Gao Xianzhi, Li Siye's Anxi Army, the Tang Dynasty's Modao Army, and Li Xiuning's women's army followed Li Qian closely to prevent him from being surrounded.

Li Qian rushed all the way to the rear of Asano Yukinaga, forcing Asano Yukinaga to lead a group of retainers and samurai to turn back and fight.

"Baga! How dare you come after us with only a few thousand people!"

Asano Yukinaga was furious when he saw that Li Qian had only a thousand men with him, but he was alone in deep territory and was being chased by thousands of troops.

He has dozens of military general-level retainers and six thousand samurai and ronin around him. Could it be that he is afraid of Li Qian?

Didn't run away?

Seeing that Asano Yukinaga was angry, Li Qian turned around and counterattacked. Not only was he not afraid, he also cheered himself up.

He has decided to take Asano Yukinaga's head!

The Fire Dragon Spear roared like a tiger, and slapped left and right like a savage fire dragon. With two clang sounds, the swords in the hands of the two retainers were knocked away!

Before the two retainers could react, a red gun shadow flashed before their eyes and blood gushed out!
