Both sides were silent in silence for about seven or eight minutes, each accumulating murderous energy! Finally, a long horn sounded in the direction of the Japanese army! Then came the drum and bugle play! Even the mast soldiers shouted loudly, and for a time the momentum shook the sky!

This was the habit of the Japanese soldiers before they went to war. They try to crush their opponents in this way. It may not be able to scare your opponents, but it is very useful for boosting your morale!

Liu Pei was not to be outdone. They also had a heavy drum beat here! However, the drum beat is not hurried, dull and powerful. It also sets off the majestic formation of its own side.

At this time, the sound of the two sides shook the earth! On the one hand, it's like a raging wave! On the other hand, it is like a reef that will not change for thousands of years! It's also not clear who has more momentum and who can defeat whom?

After the sound of drums and trumpets ended, the Japanese side took the lead in fighting two phalanxes, about 8,000 people. It can be seen that Horita Masakatsu is planning to make a tentative attack. But it's a tentative attack, and it's strong enough!

Liu Pei understands Horita's thoughts very well. Eight thousand people say that it is not much, but it is not much, and it is just a step ahead of Liu Pei in terms of strength. If the attack goes well, the feint attack will be transformed into a real attack, and these 8,000 people will be entangled in Liu Pei's position to cover their own Zhu Li's assault!

If the feint tactics fail, even if all 8,000 people die, there is no shame. Anyway, except for a small number of samurai, all of the 8,000 people were private armies sent by various daimyos. It's no pity that they're all dead!

And it can be seen from the formation they arranged that the meaning of temptation is quite obvious. Both phalanxes are discharged in a looser formation. It's just that one is relatively sparse and the other is relatively compact. But it's not the kind of side-to-shoulder position that is usually in battle. This is clearly to use these 8,000 people to test the resistance of loose formations to artillery.

Liu Pei put down the binoculars and said to Qi Qitao beside him: "It seems that the people of the Tokugawa family are not all stupid!" You look at their formation, they have long expected shelling! ”

Qi Qitao sneered and said, "What is the use of expecting it? Without taking a blow personally, they don't know how powerful the artillery really is

Force! It's good that they can do it with their imagination! ”

Liu Pei and Qi Qitao were not worried about the formation of the Japanese army at all. Because in the era of cold weapons, it is the most stupid thing to use a sparse formation to impact the opponent's front! They will get nothing but to be slaughtered!

Therefore, the soldiers of the Cold Weapon Era fought in an extremely dense formation to advance, retreat and defend. Because to scatter is to die! And Liu Pei, they have already rehearsed this situation. The artillerymen also tested the effect of various formations on the shelling with scarecrows. So how to deal with the various formations has long been clear.

As the Japanese army marched, they slowly entered the range of artillery fire. However, Liu Pei did not order artillery fire at all. Because he was waiting for the Japanese soldiers to slowly form a dense formation when they approached him.

Because of the conditioned reflexes formed by long-term training and the instinct to face danger, when any army approaches the enemy, soldiers will definitely look for a safe and reliable shoulder to lean on. What kind of shoulder can be more reliable and solid than the shoulders of a comrade-in-arms?

What's more, Liu Pei's number is small and his position is small, and when the Japanese army approaches, the formation will naturally become dense. So when that time comes, Liu Pei's artillery will give them a deep impression!

The Japanese army continued to march forward with extraordinary momentum. While approaching Liu Pei, the front military formation had basically returned to its previous dense formation. You know, sparse formations are not so easy to appear. Just like the three-three formation of our army, it can only run out after a long time of training! The recruits weren't all huddled together as soon as they went into battle.

The rangefinder beside Liu Pei has been reporting to Liu Pei the distance of the Japanese forward. "2500 meters!"

"2300 meters!"

"2000 meters!"

When the rangefinder shouted "1800 meters", Liu Pei decisively waved his hand and ordered: "Single and double gun positions take turns to fire!" Be careful, shoot slowly! One shell per minute! ”

After receiving the order, the herald beside Liu Pei immediately waved the flag. The gunners, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately lit the fuse of the artillery. Immediately, 25 guns fired almost simultaneously

Loud, the sound completely merged into a loud bang! 25 shells flew through the air in a beautiful arc and smashed into the enemy's army!

The Japanese soldiers also saw the red light and smoke of the artillery, and heard the thunderous sound! Then I saw the iron ball flying in mid-air! Their team is a meal at the moment! The Japanese soldiers had never been shelled, so they didn't know how to deal with it. I could only watch 25 shells fall on my side!

When you were in Nagasaki, there was a high probability that 10 guns would blow up 800 people. That's because 800 people gathered together really don't have much area. But eight thousand people are different! Gather there and it's a black oppression!

As the saying goes, there are 10,000 people, and there is no boundary. In this case, not a single cannon will shoot miss! Solid spherical shells fell, creating 25 flesh alleys directly in the crowd! For a moment, stumps and broken arms flew, broken knives and guns shattered, blood splattered everywhere, and the wails of the wounded were mixed together!

For the first shot, the gunners estimated the angles differently. Some of them just landed in front of the queue of Japanese soldiers, and after the shells hit the ground, they bounced up and bounced forward on the ground, breaking the legs of I don't know how many!

There are also some with a slightly higher trajectory, and the cannonball hits the upper half of the samurai directly! As a result, the soldier's upper body was completely smashed into pieces! Then the cannonball pierced the chest and abdomen of the second person, and the lower abdomen of the third person ...... until it hit the ground and bounced again!

There were also shells that hit a little higher, and the shells directly crossed the first few rows of soldiers, fell into the crowd of people behind, directly shattered people's heads, and then broke the neck of the second person, and the chest cavity of the third person ......, until they finally lost power and stopped!

This round of shelling dealt a huge blow to the Japanese soldiers! It's not just a blow to life, it's a mental blow even heavier!

Seeing the bloody scene in front of them, the Japanese soldiers were pale and unable to stand. But what scared them more than them were the Japanese soldiers who didn't see the shelling. Because the human imagination is just too terrible. These soldiers saw the sound of the shelling, heard the terrible screams of their comrades, and made up a scene that was even more terrible than the scene!
