Boom, boom, boom! After a burst of noise, the smoking teapots fell down one after another.
To prevent them from breaking, these teapots are also wrapped with rattan.
There are also many Japanese among pirates. Someone immediately recognized what it was, and they immediately put on masks made of multiple layers of cotton sewn together, shouting. Masks are now standard issue for the Navy.
As these explosives fell to the ground, the fuses smoked and then exploded. The broken ceramic shards were very sharp. The density of shrapnel is very high. Suddenly, a large number of people were blown to the ground.
Ceramic has high hardness, and small shrapnel can easily penetrate an unprotected human body. Fortunately, the first wave of pirates who rushed up were all veterans who had gone to Ming Dynasty to attack Zhangjiawan. They all wore Japanese-style armor made of all steel.
These armors have good protection and can basically block shrapnel.
However, the crowd still fled in panic. Some wooden shields fell over. As a result, the infantry behind were exposed and were treated as live targets by the iron artillery. They fired a series of fire, and their bows were also fired quickly. Many were killed.
The captain of the pirate squadron, Saburo Ogasawara, roared loudly and asked these idiots to quickly knock down the wooden shields and put them on the city wall, and let the people behind them put ladders on the city wall.
The city wall is less than five meters high. Putting up a wooden shield, people can already run up the slope and climb up the city wall. This Japanese-style city wall is actually very easy to climb. Because these things are all trapezoidal. The stone city wall not only has a slope, but it is also quite small.
In addition, the gaps in the masonry stones were not filled with Sanhe soil or white ash. This resulted in many large gaps between the stones. People can climb up with bare hands.
More than a dozen people on the city wall held large tubes filled with propellant. Then insert a small rocket-like projectile. Fight the pirates surging behind the ladder.
Boom boom boom! A series of explosions knocked down many pirates. They tumbled to the ground.
However, at this time, there were already many pirates climbing up the city wall from the ladders and wooden boards with knives in their mouths, using their hands and feet together. Then he drew his sword and chopped down the iron cannons at the front of the city wall.
The iron cannons suddenly became chaotic. Japanese matchlock guns of this era were not equipped with bayonets. The pirates leaped onto the walls before their muskets could stop them. At this time, everyone was busy filling the medicine. The warriors behind them rushed forward but had no time to rescue these musketeers.
Pirates are all experienced with knives. Although their knives are all short knives, they are very sharp when used. Almost in the blink of an eye, the iron cannons standing at the front were chopped and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. There was no time to reload, and the muskets were just fire sticks. Facing the flexible short knives, they had no power to resist.
The warriors behind hurriedly rushed forward. Wield a Japanese sword and slash pirates.
In fact, we have a misunderstanding about Japanese swords, thinking that they are very powerful. In fact, this thing on the battlefield is a waste product that will be scrapped after one use. There were statistics during the Warring States Period. The number of soldiers killed by samurai swords accounted for less than five percent of the total killed.
On the ancient battlefields of Japan, bows and spears were most commonly used. If a Japanese sword comes into contact with the enemy's sword during a fight, it will easily chip or even break. This thing is actually only suitable for ceremonial use. After all, it’s good to watch.
In addition, this thing is suitable for dealing with people without armor, especially private fights between samurai.
These pirates wearing all-steel plate armor cut down the iron cannons in three strokes and rushed over.
The warriors had been holding their anger for a whole day, and today's water battle was a waste. They even abandoned the ship. Now he is being chased here and beaten, which is really unbearable. They howled, rushed forward with their knives, and slashed hard.
These pirates who climbed up didn't care about them at all. They pointed their knives directly at the enemy's vital points. The Japanese sword saw that these armors looked Japanese, and there was no damage except for a long streak of sparks. On the contrary, the blade is a little curled.
The pirates gave these men no time to react. The samurai were knocked down with three strokes of the knife.
"Quick, go down with a general flag and open the city gate." Saburo Ogasawara is a native of Hiroshima. After being captured, he joined the pirate group.
Soon, fifty soldiers from a general banner, wearing full metal protective equipment, rushed down the horse road and killed the city gate defenders and sent them fleeing. The door opened from the inside.
As soon as Donkey Dan saw that the city gate was opened, he immediately drove his horses, and a thousand cavalry servants from two battalions immediately rushed in.
After entering the city gate, I saw many ashigaru rushing towards me in panic. These people wore armor made of bamboo fragments and held cross guns, trying to stop the pirates from advancing.
At this time, the corps commanders calmly took out grenades and threw them towards the dense crowd of spearmen.
There was a violent explosion, the ground in front was in a mess, and a large area of ashigaru was killed. There were several injured people rolling and wailing.
Soon the cavalry rushed into the main street, which led to the feudal lord's mansion.
The pirates ran all the way to the feudal lord's mansion. Because there was a reward from above. Each antique can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver.
There is a lot of reward, but it is not easy to get.
Although Yang Fan offered a heavy reward, if you get these calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, and antiques, you can go to auction and fetch several times the price.
The cavalrymen shot with muskets while galloping forward. All those who tried to stop him were beaten to death with muskets.
Boom boom boom! The grenades exploded, causing the roofs of many thatched huts along the way to collapse.
Soon the cavalry came to the main and widest road. Donkey Dan watched the pirates and samurai fighting fiercely, blocking the road, and directly took out his musket and fired at the ashigaru of Tsushima.
I have to say, Japanese armor is terrible. As soon as the musket was fired, screams broke out one after another, and everyone was hit and knocked to the ground. Even the Southern Barbarian's body, which is said to be half-plated, cannot stop the bullets fired by handguns. Several officers were killed by musketry.
The standard equipment for servants, three double-barreled handguns are inserted in front of the saddle. These twelve bullets are not meant to scare people. Quickly disperse the enemy soldiers in front. Donkey Dan quickly seized the opportunity to attack the feudal lord's mansion.
Obviously, Zong Yicheng, who was commanding at the city gate, did not expect the enemy to board the city so soon. Caught off guard, Donkey Dan led two battalions of elite servants. He rushed into the feudal lord's mansion.
As soon as Donkey Dan entered the feudal lord's yard. Immediately ordered the door here to be sealed. Then he led people to arrest Zong's family members. The Zong family's compound immediately became abuzz with excitement. A large number of family members were searched out by the pirates and taken to the yard, squatting with their hands on their heads, waiting to be dealt with.
