Ye Mingsheng, who was extremely surprised, did not hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, only more than a hundred people were left in the military formation, and a gap of about seven or eight meters long was revealed, revealing several squatting tiger cannons.
Almost at the same time, dozens of iron cannons in the hands of the Japanese pirates and several tiger squatting cannons of the musketeers roared at the same time.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After a rapid burst of artillery fire, the soldiers standing at the front of both sides suffered a disaster. The soldiers on Ye Mingsheng's side were better off wearing cotton armor, and only a dozen of them lay down.
As for the Japanese pirates, only a small number of them wore armor and most of them just used iron sheets to protect their vital parts, so they were in bad luck.
The shotgun fired by the Tiger Crouching Cannon was like cutting wheat at such a close distance, directly knocking down dozens of people in the Japanese pirate team...
The most serious thing is that people who have been hit by shotguns will not die for a while, but they have lost their combat effectiveness. They are covering their wounds one by one, rolling on the ground, crying like ghosts and howling like wolves. Such a miserable situation is like a hell on earth. For the Japanese pirates It can be said to be a considerable blow to morale.
Seeing this situation, Ye Mingsheng finally showed a satisfied smile on his face, but he was not happy for a long time. Ye Tie came over and said in a low voice: "Master, all the remaining tiger squatting cannons are here." It’s scrapped!”
When Ye Mingsheng heard this, the smile on his face suddenly froze, but he was mentally prepared and nodded slightly.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon was gone. Although he was a little heartbroken, Ye Mingsheng was still very relieved when he saw the Japanese pirate team in front of him wailing all over the place and in such a mess.
As the saying goes, "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood." Ye Mingsheng believes that as long as he survives this life-and-death test, he will have the manpower and equipment!
The only pity that Ye Mingsheng feels now is that the Japanese pirate team is in extreme chaos, which is a good opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to cover up the killing. But now his men have been reduced to more than half, with only more than a hundred people left, and the Japanese pirates on the opposite side have been killed many times. , but now at a glance, the number of troops is steadily above 300.
Therefore, if you chase and kill at this time, if you cannot defeat the enemy immediately, you will most likely be entangled by the opponent's superior force. Entering into Ye Mingsheng, what you least want to see is a melee situation. At that time, there will be no military formation. It would be too dangerous to cooperate...
Therefore, after carefully weighing it in his heart, for the sake of his own safety and the life safety of his more than 100 soldiers, it was a pity for Ye Mingsheng to give up the idea of pursuit.
Ye Mingsheng began to trust Chen Yannian's ability very much. He believed that he had sent Chen Yannian two powerful generals, Wang Xian and Lin Huaiwu, plus 500 imperial soldiers, and Chen Yannian would be able to defeat the incoming bandits.
Therefore, Ye Mingsheng firmly believes that as long as he holds on in the military camp, Chen Yannian will lead his troops back to help in a short time!
With this belief in mind, Ye Mingsheng was about to order his soldiers to shrink their formation and make it more compact in order to deal with the Japanese pirates' next charge. When he was surprised to find that the Japanese pirates not far away began to slowly retreat. .
Although they retreated very slowly, Ye Mingsheng could clearly observe that the Japanese pirates were indeed retreating...
This discovery immediately surprised and delighted Ye Mingsheng. Although this group of well-equipped Japanese pirates were very unfamiliar with their cooperation in the military formation, Ye Mingsheng had to admit that they were still very strong in terms of fighting will and resilience. of.
If this group of Japanese pirates called the "Red Tide Army" were replaced by Gongdu bandits, or Gongdu's army, if they could not hold on for a long time, they might not be able to hold on long ago, their morale would collapse, and they would be defeated, but this gang Not only have they persisted until now, but they have also killed half of their own men.
This was the largest casualty the organic army had encountered since Ye Mingsheng led the army. Although the opponent had suppressed troops, it was still enough to see the ferocity of the Crimson Tide Army.
"Master, do we want to chase him out?" Ye Dong, who was guarding Ye Mingsheng, eager to try, suggested to Ye Mingsheng in a low voice:
Ye Mingsheng shook his head. Just when he was about to say "Don't chase the poor bandits" to reject Ye Dong's suggestion, Ye Tie, who had been paying close attention to observing the situation of the Japanese bandits, seemed to have discovered something. A flash of light flashed in his eyes and pointed his finger. Pointing at the slowly retreating Japanese pirate team, he reminded Ye Mingsheng:
"Master, the Japanese pirate leader seemed to be being carried back by them. It looked like he had been shot just now..."
Hearing Ye Tie's reminder, Ye Mingsheng was stunned, and then looked in the direction pointed by Ye Tie's finger towards the Japanese pirate camp.
Unfortunately, the distance the Japanese pirates had retreated was already quite far away at this time. Ye Mingsheng could only vaguely see a certain person in the Japanese pirate team retreating, but specifically who seemed to be surrounded. Ye Mingsheng really couldn't see clearly.
Although he couldn't see clearly, it didn't stop Ye Mingsheng from making some assumptions.
It stands to reason that after being attacked by the Crouching Tiger Cannon, dozens of lives were lost once again. It is indeed possible that this group of Japanese pirates retreated because they could no longer hold on and were defeated.
However, judging from the slow speed of the opponent's current retreat and the seemingly disorganized formation at first glance, but in fact, it is still somewhat organized, the possibility of defeat is not high.
So if they were not defeated, then why did this group of Japanese pirates retreat? Ye Mingsheng frowned and thought to himself in confusion:
···············
···············
'Damn Zhou people, why don't you come out? '
Just as Ye Mingsheng was thinking hard, Nakamura Daiji, who was in the center of the Crimson Tide Army, looked at the Dazhou military camp where there was still no movement. His face was filled with anger and he cursed secretly in a low voice. Although he could speak clearly at this time, he had no idea in his mind. Problem, but his right leg was covered in blood, his calf was broken, and three toes were missing from the sole of his foot.
Nakamura Daiharu, who was born as a low-level samurai, has always taken the lead in battle, fought bravely, rushed to the forefront, and set an example for his soldiers. This habit helped Nakamura Daiji to establish many meritorious deeds, allowing him to be promoted to his current position. ·····
But just now, Nakamura Daiji's habit, which he has always been proud of, almost killed him.
