109 Battle of the Trap
After all, the Shimazu family stationed in the Ryukyu Kingdom was a carefully selected elite of the Satsuma Domain, and although they encountered a brief panic, the spear formation was not chaotic, and under the command of the leader of the team, the spear formation finally exerted their power.
"Don't mess around, everyone, and listen to my orders...... Thorn!" The dense spears stabbed out violently, and the spear formation in a row of thirty people in front of him didn't need to be aimed at all, just close his eyes and stab forward with the rhythm.
The charging Chinese soldiers and civilians were suddenly like electric shocks, and the front row screamed, and the smell of blood was strong in the air.
The leader of the ashigaru has long been accustomed to death, and he continued to order without emotion, and the spear array exerted his super high defense on the narrow streets, and there were houses on both sides, and they didn't care about the safety of the flanks at all, as long as they were thinking about stabbing forward and stabbing forward.
At this time, it can be regarded as the craziest cold weapon battle, Xiao Letian's musket team is assembling, and now the scattered fire support is not enough at all, he can only watch the crowd rush up and die one by one, and then rush to die again.
"Where's our grenades? Are there any? Where are our Molotov cocktails? Are they all gone?What about my musket team, why are they so ......slow," Xiao Lotian drove mad at the sudden killing.
At this time, Xiao Le genius knew where his shortcomings were, and he was a master of modern military affairs such as muskets and artillery. But once he encounters pure cold weapon fighting, his lack of experience will not solve the current crisis at all.
At the critical moment, the Wing King spoke, and his calm voice instantly overwhelmed the noise of the battlefield, "Don't mess up, stabilize your position, tear down the door panel, and the lords of the green forest are ready to fall into battle......"
A sentence woke up the thousands of Chinese present, how could they be so stupid just now, and actually use their flesh and blood to charge at the spear formation? Under the command of the Wing King, the doors of the surrounding houses, the bed boards, and the furniture in the house were all torn apart, and the people held simple shields and launched a charge again under the leadership of the veterans of the Heavenly Kingdom and the masters of the Green Forest.
The wooden shield disrupted the spear, and the green forest masters saw that there was a gap in the jungle at the tip of the spear, so they wiped themselves and drilled inside, although he would encounter the threat of the spear formation in the back rows, but his attack finally disrupted the rhythm of the spear array, and the killing machine was finally a little ineffective.
Warfare in the Cold Weapon Age has its own unique cruelty, and without the support of long-range weapons, everyone can only rely on face-to-face hand-to-hand combat to achieve victory.
People scuffled together, cold iron stabbed into each other's bodies, fists, knees, elbows, and even teeth and fingernails became weapons of attack, and the enemy and the enemy were crowded together and scuffled desperately, and layers of corpses were spread on the long street.
Yamamoto Kiyoshi held the sword tightly, but at this time he calmed down, he carefully observed the situation on the battlefield, and was not at all swayed by the chaos.
Yamamoto Kiyoshi watched his own formation being reduced layer by layer like peeling the skin of an onion, and when the corpses on the ground were already stacked up half a person high, Yamamoto Kiyoshi suddenly roared.
"Listen to the order, take three steps back, and reorganize the formation......" In front of Yamamoto Kiyoshi's eyes, the well-trained ashigaru shouted slogans and discarded their comrades who were entangled with the enemy at the front, and took three steps back and opened up the distance.
Distance is the foundation of the survival of the spear array, the distance of three meters is enough for the spears to line up the jungle again, and the half-human-high corpse stack wall in front of it will stop the footsteps of this group of crazy Chinese, and the formation of the spear array is miraculously stabilized again.
Kiyoshi Yamamoto finally showed the proper qualities of a general, that is, calm and cold-blooded. He watched the stripped layer of Ashigaru die tragically at the hands of the Chinese, his wolf-like eyes staring only at the throbbing figure behind the wall of corpses.
When the last hand-to-hand fighter was cut to the ground, when countless Chinese climbed over the corpse wall, Yamamoto Kiyoshi raised his right hand high and swung down violently, "Thrust! Thrust ......"
"Roar...... Ha ......" In the midst of a neat roar, the spear spurt struck again, and the warrior who turned over the pile of corpses was stabbed over the spot.
"Everybody steady...... Thrust! Thrust ......" Kiyoshi Yamamoto waved his arm again and again, and with every wave of his hand was a violent thrust, and the Chinese who had just taken advantage were pressed down again.
At this time, Xiao Letian behind the position was already full of red, and he was like thunder, probably because the blood that permeated the battlefield overwhelmed his head, he actually wanted to personally lead people to rush into battle, but he was hugged by Long Ye and them.
"Let go, you bastards let go, there are only more than 1,000 Japanese on the other side, and you are afraid, I am not afraid...... "After speaking, Xiao Letian wanted to break free like crazy.
"Sir can't go, you are the soul of 100,000 Chinese now, as long as you are still there, we can organize the next wave of charges at any time, if you have any accidents, we will be a complete failure...... My lord, the banner can't be fallen!"
Xiao Letian's forehead is now bruised, seeing the fresh lives dying in front of him, looking at the injured people twisting and struggling in the pool of blood, Xiao Letian's heart seems to have been poured with hot chili oil, and it hurts heartbreakingly.
"Why did you fight like this, we obviously have an advantage in numbers!"
Shi Dakai took Xiao Letian's arm and shouted, "No, although the enemy is very small, the commander is very experienced, this is a narrow street, and they are standing on a high place, we are in a high place, the advantage of numbers cannot be reflected, we can only add oil and vinegar to the top in batches, so we can't fight......"
As he was talking, there was a chaotic sound of military boots in the distance, and it turned out that Luo Huo had arrived with the remaining twenty musketeers.
"Report to my lord, the twenty surviving members of the musket team have all been assembled...... Xiao Letian shouted without waiting for him to finish, "Don't talk nonsense, enter the battle immediately, shoot me, a long snake formation, and send all the miscellaneous pieces on the opposite side to hell for me......"
Luo Huo is also desperate now, this rural man who grew up in the north has the unique character of Chinese farmers for thousands of years, 'tenacity', even if he is covered with wounds all over his body now, the smoke of gunpowder has smoked him into a black man, and his legs are trembling when he is tired, but as long as Xiao Letian gives an order, even if there is a cliff in front of him, he dares to jump down.
"Array rushed forward...... Kill these bastards in a line...... "Twenty musketeers rushed up against the retreating crowd, and at a distance of more than thirty meters from the enemy, a dense firing formation was set up, and there was no need to order these angry musketeers to pull the trigger at the first time.
These were the only twenty musketeers left in Xiao Letian's hands, and they were also the most experienced musketeers, and Spencer's excellent performance was reflected in their hands, and when the firearms were on the field, the moment when the slaughter began.
No matter how great Yamamoto Kiyoshi is, he can't reverse the gap brought about by the times, and the moment the gunshots rang out, he saw a sudden white smoke in the air on the opposite side, and the figure of the musketeer was suddenly invisible. The projectiles that came out of the white smoke lightly pierced through the soldiers' leather armor and fell down one by one like cutting leeks.
"What about the archers, where are our archers, shoot ......" Yamamoto Kiyoshi's shouts trembled, he was distressed and dripping blood, how could he ever have seen such an efficient method of killing, is this the thunder of foreigners?
At best, there were only more than 300 pikemen in front of Yamamoto Kiyoshi, which was not enough to kill, and before the archers could be brought up, the formation had already begun to collapse.
The formation of three hundred people finally couldn't control their morale after dropping more than a hundred corpses, and this group of ashigaru girls fled back, no matter how Yamamoto Kiyoshi pressed the formation, it was useless, even if he cut down three deserters in a row, he couldn't control the rout.
The collapse of the central military formation quickly affected the morale of the spear formations on the two parallel streets to the left and right, and the frightened Ashigaru leaders began to move backwards from the battlefield, fearing that Xiao Lotian's devil would mobilize more musketeers to deal with them.
"Okay, well, the enemy's formation has collapsed, catch up! Kill, kill, ......" Xiao Letian jumped to his feet and roared, and under his encouragement, more Chinese were organized again, and a new round of charge began.
At this time, Yamamoto Kiyoshi was under the protection of the small surname, and he also fled to the extreme, and he was so dizzy by this foreign gun that he didn't know how to break the formation. In his heart, he thought that all the military books he had read had not cracked the examples of this method of warfare, and he looked at the bright flames in the smoke of gunpowder in confusion, and his heart was full of despair.
Such a powerful Xiyi force, no wonder the shoguns as powerful as the shoguns did not dare to confront the black ships of the Americans head-on, no wonder the foreigners were able to win the battle of Shimonoseki easily, maybe I really did something wrong, the order of the old man of the Birakiyama family was correct.
Yamamoto Kiyoshi didn't know how far he had run, maybe a hundred steps, maybe five hundred steps, and when he was pressed to rest on a rock, he found that there were only more than 500 ashigaru left.
"Nani, the left and right formations actually retreated, and more than half of them were killed and wounded......" Yamamoto Kiyoshi didn't dare to look down at all, and at this time, the little surname next to him suddenly spoke, "General, the guns of the Qing people have stopped! They have stopped shooting......"
Kiyoshi Yamamoto stood up suddenly, looking at the crowd of charging people to see that there was indeed no shadow of a musketeer, and the terrifying gunfire was gone. Could it be that Yamamoto Kiyoshi's eyes were bigger than a bull's eye, "The Qing people have run out of ammunition?"
That's right, Luo Huo's musket team finally ran out of their last bullet at the most critical moment, and there were not many bullets for this batch of guns, and there were only more than 3,000 rounds when they were full, and they had been completely used up in this night's conflict.
Xiao Lotian shook his head regretfully, "The grenades have run out, the Molotov cocktail has run out, and now even Spencer has run out of bullets, we can be regarded as completely returning to the era of cold weapons......"
Without waiting for Xiao Letian to finish sighing, Xiao Hexin and a few of them stood in front of Xiao Letian with their chests up, "Sir, why are you sorry, our battle is not over yet." What if we don't have firearms, we have hands and feet and steel knives, and the blood in the cavity is still hot, even if we fill it with our lives, we will kill a way out......"
Xiao Letian made Xiao He believe that they were stunned, and finally shook his head self-deprecatingly, "That's right, you are training the right ......" said Here Xiao Letian looked up at the Japanese Ashigaru Brigade that was being newly assembled halfway up the mountain, and then looked back at the guards and the Chinese people who surrounded him.
"That's right, we still have a lot of blood, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, 100,000 Chinese can't even break such a small spear array...... From now on, the death squad will be formed, Lao Tzu, I will be the first, whoever wants to join the death squad will follow me......"
Xiao Letian carried the flag on his back, clutched his revolver tightly in his hand, and strode forward. Shi Dakai, Xiang Shaolong, Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Luo Huo...... There was even the skinny Xiao Bingtaro, and the crowd gathered silently behind Xiao Letian, following the Xiao character recognition flag and striding forward. K
