"According to the order of the former army general, Mingshouin Shengchun and Yoshikawa Hiroie head-on contain the Ming army and choose the opportunity to attack without violating it. Otherwise, military law will be engaged!"

Sure enough, just as Shouin Shengchun had predicted, with the arrival of Kobayakawa Takakage's Hatamoto samurai again, the task of containing the Ming army head-on could not be shied away from.

Not only that, because he was 'worried' that he did not have enough manpower, Kobayakawa Takakage was very 'kind' and sent him a 'helper' named Yoshikawa Hiroie, who together with him was responsible for the task of frontally containing and assaulting the Ming army.

"Hai!"

Sure enough, just as he expected, under the stern military orders of the Hatamoto samurai sent by Kobayakawa Takakage again to deliver the message, Shouin Morijun could only "helplessly" accept the task of attacking the Ming army head-on.

"Kobayakawa Hidebao, you and Motoyasu Mori led the third formation of 8,000 people, and outflanked the left flank of the Ming army from the east side of Wangkeyan; at Zhuziguangmen, you and I led the second formation of 8,000 people, from the west side of Wangkeyan.

Outflank the right wing of the Ming army!"

Just when Shouin Shengchun had no choice but to accept the task of containing the Ming army head-on, Kobayakawa Takakei and his younger brother and adopted son Kobayakawa Hidebao also planned to lead eight thousand people each in a detour to the east and west sides of Wangkexian to attack the Habayashi Guards.

In fact, Kobayakawa Takakage originally planned to wait for Juin Seijun to come down, and then let the second, third, and fourth take turns to attack from the front.

But who would have thought that in this early winter season, dense fog would suddenly rise over the entire Bokutokwan battlefield, causing Kobayakawa Takakage to temporarily change his attack plan.

However, as a qualified general, it is the basic requirement for a general to be able to take advantage of changes in time and place and make the most of the situation to formulate a more appropriate combat plan.

Therefore, neither the younger brother and son Hidehiko Kobayakawa nor the retainers such as Hiroie Yoshikawa had any objections to the change in the battle plan.

…

"Third brother, this thick fog is rising and it will definitely not clear for a while. Those Japanese will definitely not miss this opportunity. I think it is better to prepare the Tiger Crouching Cannon!"

Just when Kobayakawa Takakage temporarily changed the attack plan based on the sudden thick fog, the two generals Li Zunzu and Qi Panzong also made some worried suggestions in the face of the sudden thick fog.

After all, in this dense fog, the advantages of Yulinwei's fire cannon in accuracy and range were directly eliminated.

Without these two advantages, there is actually no difference between the Japanese matchlock musket and the Yu Yaowei's flintlock rifled musket.

Therefore, Li Zunzu and Qi Panzong proposed using the Crouching Tiger Cannon to make up for this lost advantage.

"That's right, Third Brother, if you're worried about beating the Japanese too hard and running away, the worst thing we can do is let our artillery attack more slowly!"

At this time, Zhu Dingchen and other 'artillery commanders' who had been kicked away by Wang Bing came over again with a calm face.

"Needless to say, the artillery cannot be used at the moment. Let's wait and see the situation later!"

To everyone's surprise, after some thought, Wang Bing still had no intention of using artillery.

In fact, Wang Bing didn't know that it was most suitable to use a large-scale killer weapon like the Crouching Tiger Cannon in this kind of dense fog.

However, in order to buy the Undefeated Army God and the others as much time as possible, Wang Bing could only show weakness as much as possible in order to hold off these wimps.

Otherwise, if these Japanese are allowed to run back to Seoul, not only will it be much more difficult to attack the city, but more importantly, after entering the city and facing these Japanese who have no way out, there will definitely be a lot of casualties in the street fighting. This is important when conquering the city.

There were already examples in Pyongyang.

Therefore, Wang Bing, who had always wished he had zero casualties in every battle, would rather be a little angry and aggrieved than let the Ming army suffer more casualties in the siege and street fighting.

"Haha, don't worry, I won't make fun of my brothers' lives. Although this thick fog has a certain impact on our musket shooting, don't forget that such weather is also a good opportunity for the cavalry to attack. The messenger slave

Erhachi, let him lead the Jianzhou Army to attack from the left and right wings, and the Yulin Guards will rely on the fortifications to hold on!"

Looking at the few people who were still worried, Wang Bing smiled and released Nuerhachi, the elite Jianzhou Jurchen cavalry, from Izumo. He planned to take advantage of the thick fog to catch the Japanese by surprise.

"Besides, even if we let the Japanese come up through the thick fog, don't we still have grenades?"

Finally, Wang Bing patted the grenade on his waist and smiled confidently.

Speaking of which, as one of the "Three Treasures" of the Yulin Guards, in addition to being able to kill enemies at a closer range, this grenade is no less powerful than the Tiger Crouching Cannon when the number increases.

And the most critical thing is that the grenade's killing distance will not completely make the enemy lose hope of victory like the Tiger Crouching Cannon.

…

"Yoshikawa-kun, leave this front to us, the Shimadzu family! Firstly, we have experience, and secondly, the fog on the side is thicker, but it is more conducive to concealment..."

Before the war started, when Hiroie Yoshikawa came with four thousand troops to meet up with Touin Seijun, to the surprise of Hiroie Yoshikawa, Touin Seijun, who Kobayakawa Takakage had previously said was cowering, now had a look on his face.

Sincerely took the initiative to take on the most difficult task of positive power.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you, Juin-kun!"

Although there is thick fog now, everyone knows that this mission of attacking from the front will definitely still cause the most casualties.

So after a slight hesitation, Yoshikawa Hiroie readily agreed to Juin Morijun's request, and with the four thousand men of the fourth formation, he slowly disappeared into the thick fog on the right side of the Shimazu army.

"Set off!"

After seeing the Yoshikawa Hiro family and their men disappearing into the thick fog, Shouin Shengjun also waved his hand and led the three thousand Shimazu family soldiers towards the Habayashi Guards on the opposite side again.

"Brothers, cheer up, those little wimps are here!"

In fact, even though the fog is thick at this time, it is impossible not to hear the sound of more than 20,000 Japanese pirates marching, no matter how careful you are.

Therefore, the purpose of this thick fog is not to prevent the enemy from knowing that I am coming, but to let you know that I am coming, but you cannot find me, thus playing a surprising role.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"

Sure enough, just as Wang Bing finished speaking, the roar of the Japanese match-rope gun and the iconic "killing chicken" sound came from the thick fog facing the "Guimen Pass".

However, what made the Habayashi guards feel a little strange was that the Japanese who attacked from the front were roaring with guns and charging, and the formation was quite large. But after waiting for a long time, the figure of a Japanese was also seen.

Don't tell me if you didn't see it, not even a single pellet from the Japanese firecracker was seen flying towards me.

You must know that although the effective range of the Japanese matchlock gun is not as good as that of the Habayashi Guards, within this distance, it does not mean that these projectiles cannot fall on the Habayashi Guards' positions.
