"Steady, steady! Huang Laosan, you lead two people to attract their attention head-on. Hu Lezi, you lead two people to go around from the side and take their retreat. Others, give me bows and arrows. The firecrackers are loaded, follow my orders later, fire them together, and kill these little Japanese pirates!"
It has to be said that the leading officer Meng Dagang still has some skills when facing emergencies! Here, the native archers had just shot to death a few Ming soldiers who had no time to dodge, and over there Meng Dagang made a timely response! Under his command, dozens of battalion soldiers divided into three groups and launched a fierce attack on the Japanese pirates and indigenous archers on the opposite side. Among them, the Shishi troops responsible for attracting the enemy's attention frontally worked the hardest, not only waving the flag in their hands towards The enemy demonstrated, and even jumped out of the grass with the corpse of his comrade who had been shot by an arrow, shouting, for fear that his performance would not be shocking and eye-catching enough, and would not attract the opponent's attention.
"Ya を put つ (shoot arrows)! あ ら に ya を put つ (shoot arrows over there)!" Seeing such a reaction from the army on the opposite side, the ronin leader was indeed fooled. He waved the Japanese sword in his hand and commanded the rest. The ronin rushed forward while ordering the three native archers to continue firing arrows to cover. He did not realize that more than a dozen Ming Dynasty soldiers with knives and guns slipped past him!
"About forty steps (64 meters), brother, it's too close. Let's fire quickly!" Looking at the ragged Japanese dwarf with a ferocious face, he shouted in unintelligible Japanese and hurried towards his position. Rushing forward, Meng Datong's confidants couldn't help but be anxious and fearful, and made a request to his commander to open the army.
"No, the quality of our gun is not good. It is very likely that it will not be accurate at a distance of forty steps. Wait!" Meng Datong was also estimating the distance in his mind, and he shook his head resolutely! He is eager to kill the enemy and eager to make progress, but he is not stupid. In the eyes of the boss of the Ministry of Industry and the father-in-law of the War Bureau, the distance of forty steps is the distance where the six-pound bird gun can exert its most power, but in his case From the perspective of the veteran ruffian, the bird cannons issued from above do not have such a far range. It is a blessing that such a crude fire cannon can hit the human body at a distance of twenty or thirty steps. If it hits a human body at forty steps, the cannon would have been unknown. Where have you flown?
"Yaro, すぐに比らをtempt して鳳を开ける! (Asshole, hurry up and lure them into firing!)" He shouted indiscriminately, and the leader of the ronin found that the Ming army on the opposite side was not like the guard they had encountered before. Like all farmers and soldiers, they fired arrows and blunderbuss randomly before they saw the enemy. Instead, they waited quietly and in a structured manner, waiting for their group to enter the effective range of their blunderbuss before firing. They couldn't help but feel frightened and angry, but at this time Retreating will definitely lead to a follow-up pursuit by the opponent, so we can only bite the bullet and instruct the rogues to speed up the pace and continue to rush towards the defending Ming army!
"Puff puff..." Regardless of the dilemma, the Japanese warriors who were in an embarrassing situation, their partners, some of the vassal troops composed of coastal Mamat people continued to nock arrows, draw bows, and release arrows, completely ignoring themselves. If the arrow misses the target, can it help the charging companion and sponsor?
"Oh, what a cruel arrow, it hit our brother's body to pieces! Big guy, raise the blunderbuss, aim at the target, kill these bastards and little dwarfs, and avenge the brothers who died in the battle! "He estimated in his mind that the Japanese pirates on the opposite side had entered the effective shooting range of the cannons. Meng Dagang swung the Yanling steel knife in his hand downwards. The next moment, dozens or twenty of the crude bird cannons manufactured by the Beijing Military War Bureau were fired. When the fire broke out, a choking smoke of gunpowder suddenly rose up from the entire battlefield, and those five or six gold-weighted lead pellets, carrying the power of gold and cracked rocks, flew fiercely towards the Japanese pirates who were rushing towards them. Ronin!
"Get out of here! (Avoid!)" Looking at the white gunpowder smoke rising from the opposite side, the battle-experienced ronin suddenly became excited. Without waiting for the leader to say anything, they immediately fell to the ground. An evil attack came. Dog chews mud! Although this move seemed embarrassing, the effect was surprisingly good, because most of them successfully avoided the fatal lead bullets. Instead, some of the blunderbuss in the hands of the Ming army exploded due to too much charge. The chamber is full!
"Sudden! (Assault!)" Seeing that he had successfully dodged the lead shot fired by the cannon, the leading Japanese pirate jumped up. Regardless of the fact that two unlucky companions were already lying in a pool of blood beside him, he led the others. The uninjured Ronin continues to charge!
"The long soldiers move forward, the long soldiers move forward, the rest of the gun soldiers continue to load the medicine, the archers listen to my orders, aim at the target, and shoot flatly!" After missing a hit, Meng Dagang secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and subconsciously used the Yan Fei Dao in his hand. He held his hand tighter, and the battalion soldiers with long pole weapons under his command marched forward under his orders, standing on the front line facing the enemy with fear, responsible for using the long spears and sharp palladium in their hands to block the dead soldiers of the ronin. Their fierce attack! As for the remaining soldiers in the camp, they were not idle either. Those who loaded the cannons loaded the cannons, and those who fired the bows and arrows fired the bows and arrows. For a while, although they seemed a little in a hurry, they finally collapsed without encountering the enemy, which can be regarded as a victory. An elite troop!
"Gentlemen, kill them! (Gentlemen, kill them!)" Seeing that his heroic madness failed to scare the soldiers on the opposite side, the Ronin leader immediately gave an order to his subordinates to speed up their movement, and he The most direct consequence of this order was that many evil-looking ronin roared and rushed towards the Ming army formation lined with spears and halberds like vicious dogs.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk!" However, the Ming army's bows and arrows are not simple. They don't need to throw them from a distance of twenty or thirty meters. They can just shoot straight and make the Japanese pirates suffer a lot! However, the number of infantry archers in the Ming army was too small, and the long-premeditated wave of arrows only took away the lives of two or three Japanese pirates. The remaining five or six rogues saw that their opponents' long-range weapons had already fired one wave, and the next wave It still takes time to complete the round of shooting, but with a whistle, they have already rushed to the front of the Ming army's formation.
"Big Gun (Japanese heavy matchlock gun)!" In just a few breaths, the two sides were already engaged in battle! However, to the surprise of all the Ming soldiers, the Ronin paid the price of two deaths, two serious injuries, and the rest were injured and rushed forward. However, they did not immediately attack the Ming army soldiers who were waiting for them, but left and right. At one point, the impatient heavy arquebusier inside was revealed!
"発shootする(shoot)!" With a dull explosion, the big barrel in Ronin's hand spurted out thick smoke and a solid projectile weighing about three kilograms, which instantly tore apart the waiting Ming army's spear array. Huge opening! Then, the remaining energy of the projectile penetrated the body of an archer, breaking the arms and legs of two gunmen before it completely stopped!
"Oh my god, my arm hurts so much. It hurts like crazy. Brothers, brothers, please help me. Please help me to see if my arm is broken..."
"Mom, why can't I feel my leg? Is it broken? Help, help!"
After killing two Ming soldiers, and with one arm and one leg added to the head, the projectiles fired from the Japanese big tube finally exhausted all their kinetic energy and stopped! However, the bad influence caused by it is constantly brewing and sublimating silently! First of all, leaving aside the two dead soldiers, the other two soldiers with broken arms and legs could no longer suppress the pain of their broken limbs and began to howl loudly! And this not only weakened the morale of the Ming army to a great extent, but also made other Ming soldiers who were not injured become restrained and resorted to fear. They did not want to lose their hands or feet, or even die on the spot!
Secondly, it also successfully tore open the front of the Ming army's gun array, exposing the firecrackers and archers who lacked melee capabilities to the sharp blades of the ronin! And this weakened the morale of the Ming army to a greater extent. Some soldiers who had heard about the reputation of Japanese pirates as brave and naive were not confident enough. Now they were frightened by the ronin's heavy matchlock gun and began to attack quietly. He moved back, only for fear of being punished by military law, so he tried his best to continue! However, this state must not last too long, otherwise once the string in the soldiers' heads breaks, the consequences will be disastrous!
"If you kill a Japanese, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver for his pattern. If you go up to the peak, you will not be rewarded. I will pay for it myself! Brothers, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and for the sake of money, let's kill!" There must be a brave man under the heavy reward! Seeing the Japanese pirates breaking into the formation, the morale of the army was about to be unstable. Meng Dagang resorted to the ultimate move of the Ming army to boost morale - spreading money! As soon as this move came out, the results were obvious. The originally turbulent military morale immediately stabilized. Most of the Ming soldiers clenched their weapons again and began to risk their lives with the Japanese pirates and natives for a few taels of silver!
"Gentlemen, please fight to the death!" Seeing that the increasingly chaotic situation was stabilized by a few words from the opponent's officer, the leader of the ronin, who knew that today's battle would not be easy, screamed strangely, leading five or six brave men. He rushed into the Ming army's formation and began to wave the Japanese sword in his hand wildly, trying to suppress the newly rising morale of the Ming army again! However, they did not know how enthusiastic the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who were often troubled by the problem of arrears of pay, were when they heard the amount of silver reward. In order to earn this huge reward, the Ming army commander who had the advantage in numbers The gunmen did not dodge or give way to the Japanese pirates who jumped like monkeys. They held up the iron-tipped spears in their hands and stabbed them hard. Even the long-range infantry who had fired the blunderbuss and fired the arrows roared and drew out. With the waist knife, he rushed towards the Japanese pirates who were trapped in a tight siege!
"Sir, the enemy's distant soldiers have been killed by Hu Shichang and his men. We win!" The death of the indigenous archers in the rear formation became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Meng Dagang's confidants roared loudly, and everyone present All the soldiers in the Ming Army camp knew the good news. Next, no matter how much their men held back, their spears, boring machines, and waist knives flew, and they quickly killed all the Japanese pirate soldiers in the field until only the leader was left!
