0364 Ant-attached siege
This worries the gunners even more! Because the opponent's artillery has already hit such a close distance, maybe the next shot will hit their gun position. But they didn't dare to retreat, so they could only insist on foaming. In this way, after the two sides fired four rounds again, Liu Pei's wall was hit by ten shells. The damage caused is not significant.
But the artillery of the watchtower on the right side of the walled wall has worked! This time, the shell hit the cannon of the Japanese artillery accurately! It has the effect of a wrestler hitting a brass bell! The whole battlefield heard this huge sound! As for the gunners of the Japanese people, it was even worse, and the sound shook so loudly that their ears could not hear the sound! What's even worse is that under the impact of the huge force of that gun, it directly flipped out of the gun position, knocking all four gunners on one side to the ground and running over! By the time the barrel stopped rolling, four flesh-and-blooded, completely deformed corpses were left on the ground.
On the battlefield, the Japanese side was silent, while Liu Pei's side was cheering! Morale instantly boosted to the extreme! Even Liu Pei shouted: "Good fight!" ”
And at this time, the still alive Japanese gunners were completely frightened and stupid! They felt that there must be a group of super gunners on the opposite side aiming at them, so that they even forgot to fire the artillery, and just stared blankly at the bloody gun emplacement! It wasn't until the sound of artillery fire from the opposite side woke them up! Then they threw away what they were and fled!
It is said that the Japanese are brave, but that's what it is! When they encounter something more ruthless than them, they will also be cowardly! Birch Mountain Hisataka is also dumbfounded at this moment! Something he didn't expect was happening right before his eyes. This is completely beyond his comprehension! But when he saw the deserters, reason returned to him.
He pointed at those who had fled and said, "Half of the gunners will be decapitated, and the rest will be escorted back and continue shooting!" ”
Kayama Hisakaka knew that too many people would die if he attacked the city after losing the artillery, but at this point, he could only continue to gamble. Bet that the opponent will not hit the artillery, or bet that your own artillery will break down a small section of the opponent's wall before it is hit.
Several samurai beside him rushed out after bowing, grabbing the fleeing gunners directly and escorting them to the front of the battle. With the exception of the main gunner, half of the others were randomly decapitated. Then several samurai pressed them back to the gun position. At this time, the gunners who were still alive had come to their senses, and they knew that if they ran away again, their heads would fall to the ground, and they could only bet on whose hands and feet were fast.
Just as they were leaving the gun position, the two guns on the wall of the wall fired two more rounds, but unfortunately they still missed. When the Japanese gunners returned, the two sides fired two more rounds. Finally, the luck of the gun crew in the watchtower on the left has finally come! The cannon they hit!
Their shells hit almost the same position as the gun crew in the watchtower on the right, and they made a loud sound that shocked the audience! The barrel of the gun was also turned out of the gun position, but this time only two people were killed.
Now the battlefield has completely become two heavens of ice and fire! There was no movement on one side of the Japanese people, and everyone stood like wooden clay sculptures. And the wall is thunderous!
Liu Pei said proudly: "When you win this battle, don't forget to pull those two cannons back!" What two big pieces of copper! ”
Hisataka Kayama also received a report from the samurai at this moment. The samurai told him that the two cannons were completely useless. The place where the cannon was hit has been dented, and it can only be pulled back and reforged.
Birshan, Hisaka, took a deep breath and said, "It seems that the collapse of the country is out of sight. Get ready to lead your army to attack the city! ”
Kayama Hisataka called the names of the two samurai, and the two of them got up and bowed excitedly. A moment later, two teams of people walked out of the large formation, about five or six hundred people. Half of them were iron gunners, and half were hand-to-hand soldiers armed with swords. And they also carry a large number of ladders. Anyway, Liu Pei's wall is not high, and the hastily built ladder is enough.
Liu Pei helped the goggles and ordered: "Prepare the fire gun." The spearmen took care to protect the battlements. ”
The family members immediately began to make simple adjustments. After a few moments, the transfer was complete, and the wall fell silent. At this time, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side also approached the range of the artillery. However, Liu Pei specially ordered the artillery not to fire without receiving his order. The purpose was to be afraid that he would run away from Birch Mountain Hidaka too early, and that it would affect the attack of the navy.
The Japanese soldiers were still a little nervous as they approached the range of the artillery. But when he found that the other side did not mean to fire artillery, he gradually relaxed. These soldiers were veterans of the war, so they approached slowly and unhurriedly. On the battlefield, you must know how to save every ounce of physical strength, so that it is easy to survive.
The first to approach the wall was the Iron Gunner. The samurai who led the team had been estimating the range of the iron cannon. It was estimated that he was almost close to the range of the iron cannon, and he suddenly waved his knife and shouted: "Forward!" ”
With that, he led his team and galloped forward. This is done in order to get close to the wall as soon as possible and reduce the damage caused by the opponent's firecrackers. However, the other party did not set off the firecracker, which made the mood relax a lot. This way he was able to run to the firing position without losing any losses. But he also knew that as long as his team stood still, the opponent would definitely shoot. Now the opponent doesn't shoot the gun, it's just that the opponent doesn't want to shoot the moving crowd. After all, with the current smoothbore gun, the accuracy rate is too low. There is little point in shooting people on the run. It's better to shoot people who are standing still and have a higher hit rate.
The gunners soon ran to a distance of sixty or seventy paces from the wall. The samurai shouted, "Array! ”
The well-trained gunners quickly laid out three loose rows. Just as the formation was completed, a neat burst of firearms rang out on the opposite wall. As the white smoke rose, a large piece of lead flew over. Most of them hit the ground, stirring up pillars of earth. Only a small part hit the human body. Five of the 300-strong Iron Gunners fell at once. Two of them were shot in the chest and died directly, and fell to the ground motionless. The remaining three hit the arm and leg respectively. The three men threw away the iron cannon and clutched their wounds and screamed.
The samurai was immediately taken aback! I secretly felt that the other party's fire gun was too accurate! According to their previous experience in fighting in the Wa Kingdom, the two sides fired at each other at this distance, and at most they were shot by one or two people, and even missed most of the time. Unexpectedly, the opponent's first round of firearm shooting hit five people today.
The warrior didn't care about anything else, and pointed his sword at the wall, shouting, "Shoot! ”
The counterattack of the first row of iron gunners hit the city. A large amount of lead hit the wooden city wall, making a "crackling" sound. At this time, Liu Pei's personal soldiers had already protected him with two iron shields, but they were not worried that he would be hit. And it is true that there is no lead near him. After all, the accuracy of the smoothbore gun at this time is very poor!
The firecracker on the battlement of the walled wall finished shooting the first round of firecrackers, and immediately handed the firecrackers behind him. The man behind him took the firecracker, and then handed him a loaded firecracker. He immediately raised his gun and took aim outward, shooting again.
In this way, the two sides shot frantically, and the white smoke kept rising. However, the result of the counterfire was that the gunners suffered a little more casualties. After all, Liu Pei's firecracker is sheltered by the wall.
Just as the musketeers were firing at each other, the Japanese soldiers carrying the ladder had already rushed up with a shout. Liu Pei immediately ordered: "Use the battlement in front of me as a benchmark to shoot the opponent's firecracker." Shoot at the opposing siege team at a gap of one battlement. ”
The order was swiftly passed down. The men who received the order immediately divided half of their men to shoot at the infantry. And the faster the infantry approached the walls while running, it was easier to aim. So there were four casualties in the first round of shooting. But the other Japanese soldiers were unmoved, still shouting and rushing towards the wall. Since there was no trench outside the wall, they rushed to the bottom of the wall without incident.
At this time, Qi Qitao said to Liu Pei: "Family master, you better go down, just have me here." ”
Liu Pei said: "No need. There are two iron shields protecting me, and there will be no problem. From now on, the command is handed over to you. ”
