Although the current two artillery commanders are not particularly impressive people, their basic skills are extremely solid. When they saw the cavalry coming out in the distance, they immediately understood what each other was thinking. The fate of the two commanders was almost identical. It is worthy of being a classmate who graduated from the same school.

The order of the two men was almost identical, saying: "All change shotguns, and the odd number of guns will fire first." This was followed by even-numbered cannon fire. Finally, 50 musketeers were reinforced. ”

Cavalry moves very fast. By the time the commander gave the order, they had already covered half the distance. When they approached again, the artillery positions were already in high gear.

The two commanders estimated the distance and almost simultaneously directed the artillery to open fire. The shotgun is pushed out of the chamber by the power of gunpowder. The thin barrel shattered when it flew out of the muzzle, and dozens of small lead bullets were scattered inside, flying forward flatly! The combination of shotguns fired by several guns at the same time slammed into the cavalry like a moving wall!

In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the dozens of cavalry were knocked to the ground! The horses neighed and fell, and blood gushed from the cavalry! Only part of the cavalry in the back of the position survived! But before they could see what kind of shells caused such consequences, they were knocked off their horses by the shotguns fired by the second batch of artillery!

The sound of artillery subsided, and the few remaining cavalrymen widened their eyes in fear, and they looked around in a daze, looking for their teammates at a loss! The terrible sight in front of them destroyed their ability to think, and they couldn't even remember what to do next.

At this moment, the musketeers took aim with their muskets, and then fired. With the power of a row of firearms, several cavalrymen who were still wandering on the battlefield also fell from their horses! Nagasaki's only cavalry was completely annihilated!

From the cavalry attack to the total annihilation, only a few minutes were elapsed. In this short period of a few minutes, it is a sign that hot weapons will gradually drive cold weapons out of the battlefield. From today onwards, it will no longer be a cross-country barbarian and the more backward it is, the more combative it is, but the more civilized and wealthy it is, the more combative! Civilization will triumph over barbarism! Chinese civilization will never sink again!

The short period of engagement on the battlefield caused the two sides to diverge

React. Liu Pei's side is naturally rejoicing! The soldiers cheered one after another, and with the sound of the sword and shield hand hitting the shield with their knives, the scene was very lively, and the morale was so high that it exploded! On the other hand, the morale of the Japanese army on the opposite side plummeted, and the whole team was silent.

Even the whole phalanx was moving forward, and everyone just stared blankly at the corpses of the pile of centaurs. Even Liu Pei was very proud to appreciate the scene in the battlefield before he reacted, and he wasted a great opportunity! However, in order to make amends, Liu Pei immediately shouted: "Forward!" Forward! Artillery continues to bombard the opponent! ”

The soldiers, who had been given the order, quickly straightened up and advanced. After they had advanced a dozen steps, the artillery again resumed shelling. The roaring sound of artillery woke up the frightened Tanigawa Gonroku. That's when he realized that his opponent was already pressing. Tanigawa Gonroku's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of despair!

Tanigawa Gonroku has already seen that he can't win this battle! The opponent's artillery is just too fierce! If you approach your opponent in a dense formation, I'm afraid that your team will be overwhelmed before you get close! However, if you approach your opponent in a scattered formation, you will not be able to form combat effectiveness. Then his soldiers can only be slaughtered in vain!

So he took a deep breath and made a desperate decision! He shouted: "Changze, Qing Shui." Ikuta, the three of you immediately lead the team back to the castle tower, and you must resolutely defend it! Then I sent a letter to my family, saying that I died in battle! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a warrior grabbed the reins of his horse and said, "My lord, let me charge for you!" You return to the castle tower to command the defense! ”

Tanigawa Gonroku scolded loudly: "Bastard! Do you want to put my family name to shame? Do as I command! ”

With tears in his eyes, the samurai let go of the reins and said, "Understood, my lord! I'll keep the castle tower! ”

After saying that, he shouted loudly: "Everyone retreat!" Everyone retreats to the castle tower! If you are willing to break off with adults, you can stay! ”

When he saw that the soldiers were beginning to carry out the order, he immediately bowed his head to Tanigawa Gonroku and said, "My lord, please rest assured! Even if I risk my life, I will complete the task you have given! ”

Other samurai also expressed their wishes to Tanigawa Gonroku. Tanigawa Quanliu shouted: "Don't be verbose! Take all the iron cannons away and it will be useful when defending the city. ”

These people knew the priority of the matter, and after saying goodbye to Izumiroku Tanigawa, they ordered the soldiers to retreat gradually. But there were also some samurai who were determined to live and die with Tanigawa Gonroku. Tanigawa Gonroku didn't mean to stop these people, after all, sometimes death was an honor and a relief for the samurai. Even some of those soldiers volunteered to stay behind and break the queen.

Tanigawa said goodbye to the samurai, waved his hand to the retreating ashigaru, and began to direct the troops who had volunteered to stay behind. Because Liu Pei found that they had begun to retreat, he had already commanded the troops to catch up.

Liu Pei was very satisfied with the effect of the artillery at this time. But at the same time, I was a little dissatisfied, the reason was that it was too powerful, and it actually scared the enemy away!

Before the two sides of the war had made contact, Tanigawa Gonroku had already lost more than a hundred people, and anyone could judge that this battle could not be won! Therefore, Tanigawa Quanroku's decision to retreat immediately is also within the normal range. At least he withdrew most of his soldiers, and the castle tower might be able to hold it.

After Liu Pei gave the order to pursue, the team accelerated forward. Regardless of Liu Pei, he soon found that there was no way to completely annihilate the other party. After all, the other party was very close to the castle tower, so it was easy to evacuate most of the people inside.

And Liu Pei also found a problem, that is, the big shield of the sword and shield hand is too heavy, and it will seriously slow down when running. Liu Pei felt that it seemed that he should consider reducing or abolishing the establishment of sword and shield hands. But that's after the war.

At this time, Liu Pei had approached the range of about sixty or thirty steps of Tanigawa Quan. At this time, Tanigawa Gonroku's subordinates no longer had iron cannons, Liu Pei sneered and snorted, laughing at the opponent's indiscretion, and then ordered without hesitation: "Shoot!" ”

The musketeers, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately pulled the trigger and fired a volley of buckshot! At this time, Tanigawa Gonroku and his soldiers who came wildly had no intention of dodging at all, and rushed straight and straight!
