Before Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rusui could relax for a while, there was a sudden change.
All of a sudden, the morale of the Ming Army was greatly boosted. The war drums that represented the fighting will of the Ming Army rumbled. The attack of the Ming Army suddenly became sharp.
The shocked Kuroda Rusui stretched his head to take a look. Ha! The commander flag of the Ming Army had appeared! This meant that the commander of the Ming Army, Xiao Ruxun, had personally come to the front line!
No wonder the morale of the Ming Army had suddenly risen and the Japanese army had been unable to break through. The Japanese army had their own spiritual pillar, and so did the Ming Army. Xiao Ruxun was the spiritual pillar of the entire Ming Army. As long as Xiao Ruxun was there, the Ming Army would have the confidence to win. This was the belief created by the lives of more than a hundred thousand Japanese pirates. Now, it was still the same.
Xiao Ruxun personally came to the front line to command the battle. There was no need for him to fight the Japanese army. He got off his horse, raised his gun, and shot at the Japanese pirates that he could see. The people around him were busy reloading ammunition for him. Xiao Ruxun's marksmanship was very accurate. This was specially trained. Within fifty steps, Xiao Ruxun basically hit every shot. Moreover, as long as the lead bullet injured someone, according to the current medical conditions in Japan, it was basically a death sentence. It didn't matter where the bullet hit, as long as it hit the target, it would be fine.
Xiao Ruxun maintained a high killing speed and efficiency. He killed seven to eight Japanese soldiers in a row, which boosted the morale of the Ming Army.
Driven by this, the Ming army even launched a partial counterattack. The main force of the Ming army from the rear also arrived one after another. Ma Gui led the elite soldiers of the Ma Family Army and fiercely plunged into the Japanese army's battle formation, tearing and killing everywhere, messing up the Japanese army's defensive line at the rear. They broke into the Japanese army's battle formation in one fell swoop. Ma Gui took the lead and fought on horseback, killing people and horses until they were covered in blood. The morale of the Ma Family Army was high.
He killed people and horses, causing the morale of the Ma Family Army to be high. At this moment, an unknown Japanese pirate fired a shot. Ma Gui killed a Japanese pirate with one slash of his sword. He did not notice that the warhorse under him neighed and raised its front hooves, blocking the attack for Ma Gui. Ma Gui fell to the ground and saw that his warhorse was killed. He did not know what had just happened. When he saw the Japanese pirate who was holding a gun, he rushed over in anger and beheaded him with one slash of his sword to avenge his warhorse. At the same time, he realized that fighting on horseback was too big of a target and could easily attract gunfire. Therefore, he decided to fight on foot.
Li Rusong was fearless. He took the lead and led the Jurchen cavalry and the Han cavalry of Liaodong into the Japanese army's formation. Then, they began a feast of killing. Li Rusong and the Jurchen cavalry, who had not fought for a long time, almost went crazy from holding back. They killed almost crazily. They did not care about how many losses they suffered. In short, they just killed. Liu Da and his troops from various countries were even more eager to fight. They wanted to gain credit so much that they almost went crazy. When they killed the Japanese pirates, they did not care about anything else.
The two armies completely slaughtered each other. They no longer cared about guns and cannons. They fought to the death with barbaric attacks and hand-to-hand combat. There were many casualties.
The Shadow Dancer tactic had its advantages, but of course, it also had its disadvantages. If you let others think that the Shadow Dancer was the commander-in-chief, then once the Shadow Dancer died in battle, the group of soldiers who thought that he was the commander-in-chief would go crazy. As a matter of fact, Luo Shangzhi saw a Japanese general who was riding a horse and killing everywhere was very brave. He was very unhappy with the sight of him, so he drew his bow and shot an arrow at the Japanese general's head. The Japanese general swayed a few times and fell to the ground, dead.
The Wokou general's death caused the surrounding Wokou pirates to pause for a moment. Following that, they began to yell out some gibberish that Luo Shangzhi couldn't understand. Then, they collapsed. The battlefield was a mess. This caused the Ming soldiers who were fighting with the Japanese soldiers to be confused. They couldn't understand how their enemies, who had been so ferocious just a second ago, could collapse in the next second.
As soon as this group of Japanese pirates collapsed, they were easily wiped out by Luo Shangzhi. The Ming Army continued to advance inwards, almost digging through the Japanese army's formation.
The situation was very good.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden change. Right in front of Xiao Ruxun, who was using his gun to kill the Japanese army, suddenly appeared a Japanese army holding a long knife. They broke through the line of defense of the shield soldiers and the obstruction of the gunmen, directly pouncing towards Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun was stunned, then quickly took a few steps back. Naturally, there were guards beside him who rushed forward to fight with this group of Japanese pirates. Looking at the strong fighting ability of this small army, Xiao Ruxun realized that his flag had attracted them. They wanted to carry out the decapitation tactic.
Humph!
Xiao Ruxun threw down her gun and pulled out her saber. She quickly rushed into the middle of the battle, but was stopped by a bodyguard.
"Admiral! You are the admiral, you cannot take the risk yourself! "
Xiao Ruxun's face darkened as he angrily said, "As the commander of the army, it is a disgrace to not be able to take the lead and share weal and woe with the soldiers. The enemy is already in front of me. If I don't go out to fight, wouldn't I be a joke? Do you think that I can't even lift a hand? Get out of my way! "
Xiao Ruxun shouted angrily and pushed his bodyguards aside. Raising his saber, he rushed forward and swung it, chopping down a Wokou pirate with a single slash. The long-lost thrill of slaughter stimulated the primitive and barbaric genes in his body. That Admiral Xiao who always knew how to strategize had temporarily disappeared, replaced by the Bright General Xiao Ruxun!
Xiao Ruxun joined the battle. He slashed left and right. No one could withstand his knife and they all died under his knife. Just as he was killing to his heart's content, a large spear suddenly appeared and went straight for Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun took a step back and used his knife to split the tip of the spear. He rushed forward a few steps and saw the face of the person holding the spear.
"Kuroda Rusui?!"
"Xiao Ruxun! I'm here to take your life! You despicable bastard!! "
Xiao Ruxun laughed coldly. He held the spear with one hand and slashed with the other. Kuroda Rusui dodged to the side and used his arms to push back Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun shook his slightly numb arm and said in surprise, "I never thought that the strategist would have such good martial arts. I've underestimated you!"
"You've underestimated the entire Japan! Today, even if I die, I will make sure you stay here!! "
Kuroda Rusui roared and swept out with his spear. Xiao Ruxun leaped up and landed on the ground. His entire body charged forward and slashed with his knife. Kuroda Rusui retreated a few steps, and the two of them once again entered a stalemate.
Xiao Ruxun knew that his knife was not as long as the spear, so he would be at a disadvantage. Thus, he could not increase the distance between them. Kuroda Rusui's goal was to increase the distance between them and then use the spear to stab him to death. Xiao Ruxun would not give him the chance and decided to strike first.
Making a prompt decision, Xiao Ruxun slashed at the body of the spear. It was unknown what material the spear was made of, but even with such a fierce slash, it was only able to penetrate a little and not break the spear. Kuroda Rushui swept his spear horizontally. Xiao Ruxun squatted down and kicked off with both legs, swinging her blade. Kuroda Rushui leaped up and raised his spear high before fiercely swinging it down. Xiao Ruxun rolled to the left and threw a rock at Kuroda Rushui. Kuroda Rushui hastily dodged, but Xiao Ruxun had already closed in and slashed again.
