    As time went by, the sunlight slanted a little, and the color changed from white to yellow.  The fighting on the battlefield also reached its most intense climax. The roar of guns and artillery resounded throughout the world, making everyone feel dizzy and making everything else seem meaningless.  The fields of the Tama River are already covered with blood, and there are complete and incomplete corpses everywhere. These corpses that have begun to turn white are piled up and entangled together, forming a horrifying picture.  In the shogunate¡¯s military formation, Shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu looked anxiously at the battle ahead, and his hands suddenly started to tremble.  He did have reason to be uneasy. Since the two armies started fighting in the afternoon, although the fighting was very brutal, it was very obvious that the shogunate army he led was at a disadvantage.  Obviously the troops he sent to fight the shogunate were several times larger than the opponent's attacking troops. However, these troops were defeated one by one after engaging in battle with the Han invaders. They dissipated like waves hitting the rocks and could only play some role.  The effect of consuming the enemy's time.  At the moment, this huge red reef is moving towards them little by little. Although they suffered some casualties before, they did not waver at all and continued to move forward without mercy.  And just behind these red-coated soldiers, the artillery of the Han army was firing all the time. The artillery fire was very fierce, bombarding his army and bringing terror and death to everyone.  Under the pressure of this group of Han soldiers, the central line of the shogunate army shrank back slightly, which also caused a little confusion in the entire army. Some troops on the flanks moved closer to the center in order to block the Han invaders' front and defend the general.  grown ups.  Tokugawa Iemitsu looked with a pale face at the Han army getting closer and closer to him, but he did not move at all, and showed no signs of retreating. He was now at the most important point of the shogunate's military formation, and he must not move easily, otherwise  It may cause a devastating blow to the morale of our army.  Under his gaze, these Han soldiers advanced to the front of the formation. With his naked eyes, he could almost see clearly what the soldiers on the opposite side were wearing.  He picked up the telescope and observed them carefully, and found that they were all holding their weapons high and expressionless, as if they were unconscious killing machines.  At this time, the big tubes at the front of the formation are ready.  These large barrels are matchlock guns with extremely large calibers. They vary in size, and some are about several times the size of ordinary muskets. The specialized gunner holds the tail of the barrel with his right hand and raises the barrel horizontally with his left hand, aiming at the big Han soldiers on the opposite side and preparing to fire.  The volume was even larger, nearly the entire length of a person, and it almost looked like a cannon. It was mounted on a special rack. A group of gunners stood behind these large tubes, with rice bags padded behind the rack.  During the Warring States Period, due to the large influx of matchlocks, Japan's form of warfare underwent major changes, and the muskets also won the love of almost all daimyo, and the Japanese themselves also embarked on the road of imitating matchlocks, and these large barrels were  It is carefully made by craftsmen in Japan. The pursuit is power, and the caliber is very large.  Right next to these big barrels, the gunners were carefully adjusting the firing angle of the cannon.  These cannons were imported decades ago when Tokugawa Ieyasu was still alive.  During the Warring States Period, although Japan imported a large number of matchlock guns, it did not pay enough attention to the import of cannons, so the cannons rarely played a role. After Tokugawa Ieyasu ruled Japan, in order to eliminate the Toyotomi family, he began to import large quantities of them from the Dutch and British  Imported cannon in human hands.  And these cannons did play a role when Tokugawa Ieyasu destroyed Osaka.  However, after the annihilation of Osaka, the Tokugawa shogunate began to generally believe that nothing was wrong with the world, so it stopped importing weapons in large quantities and instead pursued building a stable ruling system. Therefore, when it faced a more ferocious enemy twenty years later,  The shogunate army could only rely on these old artillery to save themselves.  When the Han army arrived in front of the formation, the guns and artillery were ready to fire.  Following the command to "fire", the crackling roar of guns and artillery suddenly began to resound across the ground, and smoke instantly enveloped the entire position. Countless bullets and artillery shells hit the red reef with sharp roars as they broke through the air.  Hoping to inflict enough damage on them to force them to stop.  The intensive artillery fire passed through the smoke and directly hit the Han army, forcing them to temporarily stop.  The musketeers began to form, preparing to return fire, while the others stood still, waiting for the order to re-enter.  Some people were shot, but they remained silent until another bullet knocked them to the ground and they could no longer fight. The entire phalanx stood in place, waiting for the order to advance amidst the raging artillery fire, watching.  Pao Ze standing next to them was shot and fell one after another. There was no fear in their hearts, but instead they accumulated countlessThey were so full of hatred that they couldn't wait to rush forward and fight the enemy, but they didn't get the order. They just stood there motionless, as if what was coming from the opposite side was not guns and shells but soft mud.  Ma Chonghao, the commander of the third regiment of the Japanese Army, was in the military formation at this time, watching his men being counterattacked by the enemy.  Although he knew that the closer he got to the main position of the shogunate army, the more enemy counterattacks he would encounter, but this fierce counterattack was a little bit beyond his expectation.  The officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty who attacked this time were all from his regiment. Under Zhao Song's order to attack the central front, he and most of his men formed several large square formations and pressed against the enemy. Ma Chonghao  He had long wanted to make a great contribution in this war, and the success of the first battle strengthened his idea, so he accepted this arduous task without hesitation, and even felt overjoyed about it.  However, at this moment, seeing his subordinates fall under the bombardment of the enemy, Ma Chonghao was extremely angry. He opened his eyes wide, as if they were about to burst. He roared next to his subordinates to ensure that  Our army's military formation should not be shaken in any way because of this, and at the same time, use the loudest volume to urge the musketeers to prepare as soon as possible.  The artillery behind him was also roaring, but these own artillery could not provide him with much help, because they were concentrating their fire on the enemy's left wing and had already caused chaos to the opponent.  Ma Chonghao has no way of knowing the victory of the left wing. He only knows that he must not make any mistakes here, and even more he must not retreat.  "Fire!" Ma Chonghao immediately ordered after the musketeers were ready.  The choking smoke rose again from the formation of the Han army. The dense projectiles, mixed with the soldiers' vengeful hatred, roared towards the shogunate army, causing many shogunate soldiers to fall to the ground. The smoke filled the air.  Guns and cannons were constantly firing in the battlefield, making everything seem to be shrouded in a blurry world.  Ma Chonghao picked up the telescope and wanted to observe the situation on the other side, but he could only see blurry gray and black figures on the opposite side. He could no longer see anything clearly, while projectiles and artillery shells were flying towards each other in the smoke.  Coming and going, as if a demon suddenly emerged from the void, taking away the young lives on both sides.  The anxiety in Ma Chonghao's heart became more and more intense. There were a large number of guns on the opposite side. Although his shooting skills were not good, the quantity and firepower made up for this shortcoming. Although our side had excellent muskets and musketeers, in such a situation  It is inevitable that you will be at a disadvantage during the confrontation. If you keep standing here and fighting against each other, you will obviously always suffer a loss.  There was always smoke on the opposite side, so I couldn¡¯t see the specific troop deployment, but I guess there would be many troops around the shogun.  Can you retreat?  No, absolutely not. Marshal Zhao has issued an order, and His Majesty has placed such great expectations on himself. How can he retreat?  He felt cruel in his heart and gritted his teeth. Then his hand touched the sword on his body and held the handle tightly.  Even if a man dies, he must die well!  "Charge! Charge forward!" He simply pulled out his saber and shouted loudly to the officers next to him, "Follow me!" Just as he was shouting at the top of his lungs, a shell whizzed past Ma Chonghao.  He passed by and then hit the flag bearer carrying the military flag beside him, cutting off half of the young man's head.  The brains and blood splashed into the air, and some of the white mucus touched Ma Chonghao's body. The pungent smell of blood and an indescribable taste made him almost sick, but not only did he not feel the slightest fear in his heart  , but the hatred and anger surged even more.  He opened his eyes wide and his face almost twisted into a ferocious look. Then he simply threw away the saber in his hand and picked up the flag in the hands of the fallen flag bearer.  "Follow me!" With this roar, Ma Chonghao ignored the bullets coming towards him and walked towards the opposite side almost crazily, while his personal guards also roared almost at the same time and followed them.  Behind the regiment leader, they charged forward regardless, and their charge also brought the entire regiment with them. Almost everyone shouted, and then rushed forward with weapons, charging towards the opposite side with long-simmering anger.  past.  The shogunate army in the smoke did not immediately notice the movements of the Han army, so when the red torrent loomed in the smoke, and when the roars of the Han officers and soldiers reached their ears, even Tokugawa Iemitsu  Everyone's heart trembled.  Our own artillery fire was sharp enough. It concentrated almost all the artillery fire that the shogunate army could collect. Originally, according to Tokugawa Iemitsu's judgment, it was impossible for any army to withstand such artillery fire. He originally planned to destroy them.  RightThey formed a formation and repelled the enemy before launching a pursuit. However, they did not expect that the opponent not only did not collapse, but also withstood the artillery fire with their flesh and blood, and even launched a direct counterattack!  "Are these Han bandits still human beings A thought flashed through Tokugawa Iemitsu's mind.  However, he has no time to think about this problem now. Where he is now, there cannot be any mistakes, not only because of his personal safety, but also for the safety of the entire army.  Looking at the roaring red-clothed Han invaders rushing towards them regardless of the artillery fire, Tokugawa Iemitsu bit his lip until it bled. He didn't believe that even with several times the strength, he still couldn't stop the enemy's attack.  "The whole army attacks!" He loudly ordered to the side, preparing for a decisive battle with the Han invaders and defeating this enemy army.  Under the order of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogunate army, which was already ready to attack, began to attack the enemy forces on the opposite side, and a terrible hand-to-hand battle began again.  The terrain between the two armies is slightly rugged, which is the former farmland, but these ravines cannot hinder or weaken the fighting at all. Every crevice on the ground is under the struggle of swords and guns, and almost every inch  They were all fighting, from one farmland to another, from one forest to another, even in the sparse cottages, there were people screaming and fighting everywhere.  The Han army charged and killed without any scruples, constantly waving their weapons at the enemy troops on the opposite side. Even in such a melee, they still formed small formations according to their usual strict training, and then relied on Pao Ze's strength and impulse.  The enemy troops that came over fought until they occupied small areas and cleared out the enemy troops on the opposite side.  Every place presented a shocking scene of massacre. The muskets of the Han army finally exerted their power in this large area. With higher precision and better training, the bombardment of these Han musketeers brought a great impact to the enemy.  Incurring additional casualties, and cooperating with the advance of the pikemen, Ma Chonghao held up the flag of his regiment and led his guards to charge among the enemy without fear. They were all red-eyed and just wanted to  To crush the enemy army.  Just as Ma Chonghao was rushing forward with the military flag, he suddenly felt a burning pain in his right shoulder. He looked over his shoulder and found that a projectile had already made a huge wound on his right shoulder.  The blood was flowing continuously for I don¡¯t know how long it had been flowing.  This severe pain did not make Ma Chonghao feel any fear. Years of fighting had already made him accustomed to all kinds of casualties, and even made him look down on life and death. Instead, he gritted his teeth and  Continue to charge forward with your subordinates.  However, even though they were brave and well-trained, the number of enemy troops was far greater than theirs, so they could only repel the enemy troops step by step. However, the shogunate army immediately began to counterattack again. These Kanto warriors were howling and holding tachi.  He and Saber rushed over desperately, fighting together again and again, and were repelled again and again. On the green field, on the khaki road, the strong wind stirred up bursts of dust, and the thick smoke clouds made the sky dark,  I don¡¯t know how many people¡¯s souls are rising into the sky along with the smoke.  In the stalemate war, people died every moment, but the remaining people were unaware of it and kept fighting without hesitation. It seemed that no one could subdue anyone, but the shogunate's army, which was several times larger, could only fight with a force far smaller than theirs.  The stalemate between the officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty itself already illustrates a very dangerous situation - because the Han army can still be reinforced. Although their number is far less than that of the shogunate army, not all the Han troops are currently deployed on the battlefield.  Just as Ma Chonghao was frantically fighting with his men, he suddenly remembered a familiar sound of trumpets from behind. This familiar tune made Ma Chonghao regain some consciousness. Then he looked back and found that  A large group of Han officers and soldiers dressed in red were rushing towards him.  Zhao Shuai has sent troops for reinforcements!  Ma Chonghao was overjoyed. He turned back to look at his subordinates, then handed the flag to the guard next to him, and he casually took another person's saber.  His body was already covered in blood, but "Kill!" He shouted again, and then re-entered the fight with the shogunate soldiers with a hundredfold passion.  "Kill!" At the same moment, Li Huanghe, the leader of the second regiment, also shouted out to his subordinates.  Li Huanghe had also been watching the fierce battle that Ma Chonghao and his troops were going through ahead. He was worried about the other party and envied him for being able to take on such an important task. He had been asking for reinforcements for Ma Chonghao.  However, Zhao Song did not order him to attack along the bloody road opened by Ma Chonghao until he was sure that the time had come to deal the biggest blow to the shogunate army - and put in the third regiment under his command.  , which was also the time when Zhao Song finally made a bet with Tokugawa Iemitsu. ?Under the horrified eyes of the shogunate army, another large group of soldiers in red rushed over from the rear and joined the battlefield. However, in order to pursue speed, they did not form a strict formation at first, but rushed to the front in a scattered formation.  , and even so, they still brought enough pressure to the shogunate army. This Han army with thousands of people was like a heavy weight thrown into the balance, causing the situation to suddenly tilt towards the side of the Han army.  The shogunate army that was still fighting with the Han army just now was slowly repelled, and the courage and morale they had aroused were slowly worn away in the fight just now. At this time,  The Han army had no intention of stopping. Not only the new reinforcements, but also the Han officers and soldiers who were exhausted from the fighting also followed Ma Chonghao's flag and continued to charge forward. They were charging forward unstoppably, although  From time to time, people fell under the gunfire, but they were about to approach the enemy's artillery position.  At this moment, a new tremor appeared on the left-wing front that had been trembling under the artillery fire. A large group of cavalry galloped along the field covered with grass, stumps and blood, and quickly headed towards the shogunate army.  The formation swept away, and the horses' hooves trampled the dead and dying people, making the scene even more terrifying. Some poor wounded soldiers had no arms, legs, or even jaws, but no one paid attention to their moans. The horses roared past.  Instead, their chests were dented. At this time, angry shouts, curses, groans of pain and despair mixed with the neighing of horses filled the entire battlefield, but these cavalry had no sense of taste and just lined up.  The tight formation swept towards the opposite side at extremely fast speeds!
