Li Dingguo took the lead, led the army, and fought hard.
For the Ming army, this was a battle against the water, and no one was still lucky, like a tide, wielding swords and guns, fighting with the shogunate army.
Heitian Zhongzhi knew that he also had no way to retreat in this battle, and if the Ming army was defeated, his fate would be extremely miserable, so he worked harder than the Ming army, taking the 10,000 people he had scraped together, and Li Dingguo's 10,000 people were separated from each other and twisted with the shogunate army on both sides.
Itakura Shigemasa watched from a distance, his face was gloomy and his eyes were dark.
The reaction of the generals of the Ming army and the combat effectiveness they showed exceeded his expectations, and these 10,000 people actually blocked his offensive and did not immediately rout!
Itakura Shigema's artillery was still firing at the Ming army, but with the entanglement of the two sides, it no longer had much effect.
The two sides have become a battle of cold weapons, fighting each other and not giving an inch.
Even in such a fight, Li Dingguo is still constantly adjusting, arranging troops, and rushing left and right.
Li Dingguo did not think of breaking through from the front, but concentrated his forces and launched a frontal attack with the shogunate army.
He's not defending, he's attacking!
The Ming army was fighting hard, one by one, and they were extremely brave.
Even the people who are loyal to the black sky are fierce and abnormal, and the murderous aura is surging.
Itakura Shigemasa watched from behind, his face unconsciously difficult to look at.
He originally thought that the Ming army was at an absolute disadvantage in this situation, and it should not be scattered everywhere and die, but he didn't expect that it would burst out with such great lethality.
Itakura Shigemasa naturally couldn't be defeated, his eyes were cold, and he said, "When will the reinforcements arrive?"
” A retainer behind him also looked solemn and said, "We came too fast, they shouldn't have time to come." ” Itakura Shigemasa said, "What about Mamoru Izu?"
” The retainer hesitated and said, "I don't know." ” Itakura Shigemasa glanced at him, picked up the binoculars again, and looked at the fighting armies.
The war is getting more and more anxious, and the armies of both sides have become entangled and difficult to distinguish from each other.
He looked embarrassed and looked calm.
If he can't win a one-sided victory, what face will he show in this battle!
In the military formation, Li Dingguo gradually stabilized his momentum, blocked the attack of the shogunate, swept away the previous nervousness, and his morale was like a rainbow, and his murderous spirit was soaring.
"Kill!"
Li Dingguo roared, armed with a spear, and killed a rushing warrior to the ground.
Those lieutenants, the lieutenants seemed to hear it, and they all roared angrily, covered in blood, and rushed forward to kill regardless of the fact that they were all together.
Hei Tianzhongzhi and others even saw the hope of being 'undefeated', and worked harder than the Ming army.
The momentum of the Ming army was like a rainbow, and the battle situation underwent subtle preparations, from the main attack of the shogunate army and the main defense of the Ming army to the stalemate, and even the Ming army still had a slight upper hand.
The corners of Itakura Shigema'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, this is a gamble on everything!
At this time, they couldn't help but back down.
Itakura Shigema's hundreds of people quickly pressed up.
The fighting between the two sides became more and more intense as time went on.
For Itakura Shigemasa, this is a battle to the death, if he loses, he will have no chance to turn over, and there is no place to die, so he does his best, desperate.
Li Dingguo will not give an inch and will not hesitate to do anything.
For him, if he retreats, it is equivalent to a big defeat, equal to death, and it is equivalent to the first setback of the strategy of the Ming Dynasty!
For both of them, it is unacceptable, and neither will back down.
There was a rambling scuffle on the forest, fierce as a meat grinder, screaming, shouting, begging for mercy, and rivers of blood.
This battle lasted for several hours, from the high sun to 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 blood-red, his face was covered with blood, his arms were no longer moving, his voice was hoarse, and he was still slashing.
The retainers around him couldn't bear it anymore, looking at the corpses all over the ground, and there was no end to the battlefield, they squeezed to Itakura Shigema's side, and said loudly: "Palace, let's withdraw, we can't continue to fight." ” Itakura Shigemasa was already almost insane, his eyes were blood-red, and he roared angrily: "The Ming people must be destroyed, and no one can be left!"
” The retainer exclaimed, "But it is getting dark. ” Itakura Shigemasa was a little sober at this time, and when he looked up, sure enough, the sun was setting, and the sky and the earth had a hint of darkness.
Even if he insists now, when it gets dark, he will have to retreat if he doesn't retreat!
Itakura Shigemasa looked at the Ming army that still did not show defeat, gritted his teeth with hatred, and wanted to bite with his teeth and tear the Ming army to pieces.
If he withdraws now, it will be a fiasco, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to atone for his guilt!
"Temple, withdraw!"

The retainer shouted again.
They held on to the Ming army and fought with each other, under the condition that their military strength was particularly strong, and if it continued, they might be defeated!
Itakura Shigemasa was extremely unwilling, but in this situation, he had no choice but not to withdraw.
Looking at the Ming army that was still standing, he hated and ordered the withdrawal of the army.
Li Dingguo saw that the Japanese State had withdrawn its troops, but he did not give the order to chase it, so he stopped the attack and began to retreat one after another.
The two armies withdrew separately, and the battlefield was not cleaned, one south and one north, and began to retreat and repair.
Itakura Shigemasa headed north, and it was necessary to return to the Kanmon Strait or receive reinforcements to be safe for the time being.
Li Dingguo withdrew to the inner city of Fu, and with naval support, he could also breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
The two armies had their own purposes, but now both sides were defeated and retreated.
But strategically speaking, the purpose of the Wa Kingdom 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, in this battle, the Ming army won.
Itakura Shigemasa went all the way north, cautiously and quite cautiously.
Although Heitian Tadayuki is worthy of mastering the five northern countries, no one knows how much influence he has, and Itakura Shigemasa is also afraid of being ambushed, so he hurriedly went north.
Li Dingguo, who returned to the inner city of Funai, listened to the report while cleaning his wounds.
The adjutant general said, "My lord, we have more than 5,000 dead and wounded, and more than 3,000 have been killed directly, and there may be more on Heitian Tadashi's side......"
A lieutenant said, "Cao Dudu's side has already brought us food and grass supplements, but it may take a month for reinforcements to come......"
"The news has been transmitted from Heitian Tadayuki's side, Itakura Shigemasa has 20,000 reinforcements across the Guanmen Strait, but they returned without reaching the Bungo Domain, one is that our combat strength makes the Wa Kingdom fearful, and the other should be the navy to put pressure on the Guanmen Strait......"
Li Dingguo listened, was silent for a while, and said: "Brother who died in battle, report to the Shuaifu for compensation, collect the body, and bring it back without a ......."
Everyone nodded silently, these were the old brothers they had brought out from Naturalization City and had been with each other for many years, and this time they lost more than half, and their hearts were extremely heavy.
Tsushima.
Yang Sichang sat on the chair, fanned his fan, listened to Qian Jinxiao's recital, his face was different, and then he nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It's not a loss to be a closed disciple of the marshal, and in this case, he can still have strain, courage, and extraordinary." ” Qian Jinxiao also had a soothing smile on his face and said, "Yes."
Xia Guan also heard that this Li Dingguo was quite liked by the palace. ” Yang Sichang said 'um', and said with a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time: "Li Dingguo's battle not only made a name for himself, but also laid the strategic framework of Jiuguo Island. ” Qian Jinxiao's expression was also softened, and he said: "Dolgon is about to arrive at Funei City, and the total number of troops adds up to 60,000, but Aoyama Tadashi still has 20,000 people besieging Kagoshima, 50,000 people going north, and there is no trace, and in the Guanmen Strait, there may be 30,000 or 40,000 troops, the total number may be more, and the pressure is still very great......"6
