The time had come. Xiao Ruxun ordered the main force to attack, and all the elites were dispatched!
The generals under his command howled like wolves as they charged forward. The last of the Japanese army's ambush suddenly rushed out and launched a surprise attack on the Ming Army from both sides of the mountain. However, the Ming Army seemed to have been prepared. Suddenly, more than a hundred artillery carriages were pushed out from the rear and bombarded the two sides of the mountain. The bombardment caused gravel and lead to fly everywhere. The corpses of the Japanese pirates were smashed and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The entire battlefield was like a meat grinder.
The well-prepared Ming Army used shields to protect themselves. The Japanese only had their own bodies and simple rattan armor. The fragile armor was torn to shreds in an instant. Their attack was slowed, and their morale was dampened. At this moment, Xiao Ruxun ordered the entire army to charge out and launch a counterattack against the Japanese ambush. The Japanese retreated in defeat and fled in panic. The ambush was clearly defeated. Xiao Ruxun did not care at all. He brought out his Ningxia Firearms Camp and followed the front army to kill their way to the battlefield of Xiaowuyama.
On the mountain, Yukita Xiujia realized that the effect of his ambush was not good at all. The series of artillery bombardment made him realize that Xiao Ruxun had also prepared a backup plan. It was even more ferocious and terrifying than his backup plan. Under such circumstances, Yukita Xiujia finally understood that what awaited him was a path to death. If he lost, he would become a sinner of Japan for all eternity.
Everyone on the mountain understood that the final moment had arrived.
This was because the flag of Xiao Ruxun's main general had appeared on the battlefield. It was protected by a group of iron-armored Ming Army armed to the teeth. The flag of Xiao Ruxun's main general had appeared on the battlefield. This meant that Xiao Ruxun had personally come to the battlefield. At this moment, Yukita Xiujia felt the call of fate.

Yukita's grip on his sword tightened and his body trembled. The owner of the flag was Xiao Ruxun, the main general of the Ming Army who had brought him countless humiliation and failures. He was three years older than him, but Yukita Xiujia felt that Xiao Ruxun was 30 years older than him and had 30 years of experience. Otherwise, how could Xiao Ruxun defeat the famous generals of the Warring States Period who had been invincible in Japan?
If he could have a deeper understanding of the military system of the Ming Army, understand the scale of the Ming Army and the size of the Daming, he could understand the achievements and experience they were proud of. The so-called fierce and terrifying battle of 10,000 people between countless divided small countries with a population of less than a million was just the scale of a fight between the people of Yiwu County in Jinhua Prefecture of the Zhejiang administrative office of the Daming Kingdom over a mine.
Therefore, the generals who commanded thousands of "armies" were almost at the level of the Daming's guerrilla generals and staff generals. There was nothing wrong with them being insignificant.
Perhaps their tactical concepts were relatively new and their tactical level was not low. However, on a strategic level, the meaning of their fight was like the two county magistrates of the Daming Kingdom leading their county soldiers and militia to fight each other for water and land.

For a person of Xiao Ruxun's level, the Japanese should at least let Toyotomi Hideyoshi personally go to battle. Yukita Xiujia was sent to gild the gold, and the gild was in a mess. How could he have a good ending?
Speaking of which, Xiao Ruxun really did have the idea of fighting with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. However, after coming into contact with the elites of the Warring States Period, Xiao Ruxun realized that even if Toyotomi Hideyoshi came, he would only cause him some trouble in terms of conspiracy and calculation. On the battlefield, his 600 cannons were enough to make Toyotomi Hideyoshi rethink his life. Then, he would go back to the islands and seclude himself for 300 years.
Therefore, every time Xiao Ruxun thought of the Battle of Songhu, the tragic situation when our army faced the Japanese army's ground and warships. In one battle, 300,000 soldiers died on the battlefield. The firepower of a regiment of the Japanese army completely crushed our army. A division of troops couldn't even pull out a few cannons and machine guns. They could only fill the gap with flesh and blood. Thinking about it now, Xiao Ruxun could pull out a few hundred cannons to destroy the Japanese army. The Japanese army couldn't fight back and could only fill the gap with flesh and blood …
If the ancestors were watching from heaven, they would probably cry, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ruxun could not help but feel a strong desire to kill the man who was still under his Daming and his newborn son.
When I drain your blood and exhaust your strength, I will come back to take your lives.
Under the main general's flag, Xiao Ruxun looked at the flags on the hill and estimated the distance. He found that the cannons could not reach them, so he decisively ordered the army to attack and move forward to give the cannoneers a chance to do their job. Since the problem could be solved with cannons, there was no need to use the lives of the Daming soldiers to solve it.
There was no problem that could not be solved with one shot with Japan. If there was, then two shots. If there was more, then two hundred shots. He believed that after two hundred shots, all the disputes could be solved.
The well-rested army quickly attacked left and right in the line of defense formed by the tired Japanese army. They neatly tore through the fragile line of defense of the Japanese army and moved forward hundreds of meters in one fell swoop, so that the range of the cannons could cover the entire hill. Ma Gui and Wu Weizhong fought bravely and almost collapsed the first wave of the Japanese army ambushed. Zhao Hu and Chen Xie's attack put the second wave of the Japanese army ambushed in prison. This allowed Xiao Ruxun's headquarters to easily deploy the formation.
Perhaps there won't be another two million Heroic Souls who perished in battle. I'll avenge all of you! I will let Japan remember the fear of being covered by the Daming's cannons and the humiliation of being crushed by the Daming. I want them to tremble every time they think of what happened today for the next few hundred years.
Under Xiao Ruxun's order, the Ningxia Firearms Battalion's artillery team, which had the highest degree of firearms in the Ming Army, was in full formation.
"Don't worry about Japanese pirates attacking you. Just fire the cannons until you run out of cannons. It's best to raze the hill to the ground. Anyway, I don't want to see a flag standing on the hill after the cannons are used up. If there is, each cannoneer will be flogged ten times and fined one tael of silver. If there isn't, each cannoneer will be rewarded with three taels of silver, a jar of wine, and a catty of meat."
Xiao Ruxun's order was passed to the ears of every cannoneer.
This was enough to make them go crazy.
The scene of ten thousand cannons firing at the same time was very common after the late 19th century, especially in Europe after the Napoleonic Wars. Ten thousand cannons firing at the same time was the norm on the battlefield. Before that, because cannons were too expensive to transport, it was rare for a country to mobilize a large number of cannons to participate in a war, let alone the East Asian battlefield at the end of the 16th century.
It was not that the Japanese did not have cannons, but that cannons were too expensive, too heavy, and too troublesome to produce. They also had little resources, so they could not make too many, so they simply focused on guns. In fact, there were very few cannons in North Korea. In fact, the entire army did not have any cannons.
Against North Korea, which was still in the medieval era, the Japanese's novel gun tactics could naturally beat them to the ground. But against the Ming Army, whose tactical concepts were not inferior to the Japanese, Japan really did not have any advantage.
