In the Zhou army formation, under the cover of swordsmen and axemen holding shields, the second row of spearmen took advantage of the gap between the shields to advance their spears and kill the Japanese pirates who were rushing towards them.
Behind the spearmen, the musketeers armed with three-eyed blunderbuss and bird blunderbuss were also seizing the time to load their ammunition and prepare for the next round of shooting.
Taking advantage of Ye Mingsheng's busy command, Ye Tie came to his side and reported anxiously:
"Master, the iron hoop of the Crouching Tiger Cannon has begun to loosen. If the barrel is fired any longer, the barrel will be scrapped. Please ask the musketry team for instructions..."
"Hit! Beat me hard! Don't be afraid of being scrapped!"
Before Ye Tie could finish speaking, Ye Mingsheng, whose voice was hoarse, became emotional and said loudly:
Although the Tiger Crouching Cannon is precious, there are only a few of them in a battalion. Every scrapped gun means one less gun. But now is the time to fight hard. If you don’t use it now, when will you use it? Wait for these Japanese pirates to rush into the military camp. Among them, left for them to seize?
After hearing Ye Mingsheng's order, the men of the Musketeers immediately stopped hesitating and began to continue loading and unloading the Tiger Crouching Cannon.
Unlike Ye Mingsheng, who was in the center of the military formation and commanded the battle, Nakamura Daiji, who had been in power for nearly a year, relied on his bravery and directly led his men to the front line to fight against the Imperial Guards soldiers.
With the addition of their new force, they immediately put great pressure on the formation of the Forbidden Army soldiers, and the pressed formation began to slowly retreat.
Ye Mingsheng, who discovered this situation, immediately became furious and turned to the musketeers behind him and roared:
"How long will it take? Hurry up!"
Now that the two sides are fighting in close combat, it is the time when "big sprayers" such as the Crouching Tiger Cannon are exerting their power. As long as the cannon fires, the Japanese pirates will suffer casualties of at least a dozen people.
In fact, the few people under Ye Mingsheng's command have been able to hold on until now, thanks to the few squatting cannons under them, otherwise they would not have been able to hold on long ago.
But now Aye Mingsheng's men no longer have any reserves. In the military camp, even the cooks who carry big pots and cook have long been there. Therefore, facing the opponent's pressure and impact, he can only give up his last hope. On the Tiger Crouching Cannon.
Facing Ye Mingsheng's roar, the Musketeers, who also understood the urgent military situation, did not dare to answer. They lowered their heads and speeded up the movements of their hands, trying to make the tiger squat as fast as possible and roared.
Unlike Ye Mingsheng who was in a state of panic at this time, Nakamura Daiji, who was rushing to the front line, was getting more and more excited. He could clearly feel that the Zhou army formation in front of him could no longer support it and began to slowly retreat. Well, as long as our side persists in the offensive, we will definitely be able to tear a hole through the opponent's formation...
"brush!"
With a grin on his face, Nakamura Daiji, under the cover of his close confidants, swung the sharp samurai sword in his hand, and suddenly the head of an old soldier of the Zhou Dynasty was chopped off by him, and the bright red blood was sprayed all over him. .
However, Nakamura Daiji, who was doused with blood, did not feel the slightest discomfort. Even an expression of enjoyment could be faintly seen on his face. He looked not far away, at the young figure in the center of the military formation, who was shouting at the top of his lungs.
Although he did not know Ye Mingsheng, his subconscious told him that the military attaché of the Great Zhou Dynasty in his sight was his opponent in this battle, Ye Mingsheng, the seventh-grade commander of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army.
"Warriors! Whoever cuts off his head will be rewarded five hundred taels of silver!"
The blade of Nakamura Daiji's samurai sword was pointed directly at Ye Mingsheng, and he loudly offered a reward to the hundreds of Japanese pirates behind him:
As soon as the reward of 500 taels was announced, hundreds of Japanese pirates became excited. They traveled all the way from Dongdao Island to get here, not only for the free money, but also for the money.
Five hundred taels of silver was enough for them to return to Dongdao, buy a house, more than ten acres of farmland, and several maids, and live comfortably for the rest of their lives. Therefore, all the Japanese pirates looked at Ye Mingsheng like Looking at a peerless beauty, her eyes are very explicit and hot...
Although he didn't understand Nakamura Daiji's Japanese language, Ye Mingsheng, who was also a martial artist, could roughly understand what the other party meant. He immediately pulled out a sneer from the corner of his mouth and challenged hundreds of Japanese pirates not far away. He patted his head as if and signaled to the other party, "The head on my neck, Mr. Ye, is right here. Come and get it if you are brave enough!"
Seeing the provocation of the young military attache in the Zhou army, Nakamura Daiji was furious and immediately wanted to rush over. However, as soon as he took two steps, a spear suddenly popped out from the army and went straight to his throat. go.
Although Nakamura Daiharu is arrogant, he is extremely powerful as a samurai. Although he was attacked by surprise and caught off guard, he subconsciously turned sideways and narrowly avoided the cold tip of the spear.
Then, just when the spear was retracted and ready to launch a second attack, Nakamura Daiji let out an angry roar and slashed down with all his strength with the katana in his hand. The gun shaft made of hardwood broke with the sound, and the half of the gun shaft with the gun tip, It immediately fell into his hands and turned into a javelin.
Aiming at the great perimeter spearman who dared to sneak attack him, Nakamura Daiji threw the javelin with a grin.
Nakamura Daiji, who has practiced martial arts for many years, is undoubtedly extremely powerful. He threw the javelin with great force, and the speed could be said to be very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was about to pierce the spearman's body. At this critical moment, At this moment, a tall figure stood up, blocked the javelin with the back of his sword, and knocked the javelin to the ground...
"Thank you Lord Ye Tie for the rescue!"
The spearman who was still holding half of the spear in his hand, who was lucky enough to save his life, swallowed the saliva in his mouth and quickly thanked him very sincerely:
In response to his thanks, Ye Tie nodded slightly, then picked up a spear from the ground, threw it to his spearman, and then immediately returned to Ye Mingsheng's side. As the captain of the soldiers, Ye Mingsheng's Safety is his first priority!
The javelin was shot away, and the arrow was not avenged. Nakamura Daiji's face flashed with anger. At this time, the iron artillery team in the Japanese pirate camp had reloaded ammunition. In order to avoid accidental injury, he was a With the samurai sword in his hand, Yang rushed to kill the Japanese pirates in front, and immediately retreated temporarily, leaving about sixty steps of shooting space for the iron artillery team.
Just when the Japanese iron cannon was about to be fired, the tiger squatting cannon of Ye Mingsheng's musketry team was also ready. The leader of the musketry team looked at Ye Mingsheng and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, you can fire!"
