In front of the Ming army, silver-white mortars were lined up, shining brilliantly in the sun.

The coalition army continued to advance, and the armor was loud as they marched, and they ran until they were two hundred paces in front of the Ming army, but there was no movement on the Ming army's side.

This greatly surprised the coalition forces, and Azig was also curious.

Through his understanding of the previous battles of the Ming army, he knew very well about the firearms of the Ming army, and knew that their muskets had a long range, and they could pierce armor at more than 100 steps.

There are also artillery that can fire flowering shells, the kind that blinds, dumb, and foams at the mouth, and there are black mushroom clouds that blow people up into the sky......

But what is the small cannon barrel in front of the Ming army at this time? I've never seen it before! Extended Tiger Squat Cannon?

Azig, who couldn't figure it out, simply didn't want to, because it wasn't his own Dongying Eight Banners that rushed in front, let those guys from the shogunate explore.

The shogunate army that rushed to the front gradually saw the appearance of the artillery in front of the Ming army, and when they saw that the slender caliber was not large, they immediately felt at ease, and the range and power of this garbage cannon were probably limited.

Don't panic, coil them!

"Fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!! ”

More than 200 mortars were divided into three rounds and took turns to launch a fierce bombardment on the shogunate army.

Vertebrae-shaped cannonballs fell from the sky in a standard parabola, raining down into the array of the shogunate army, and exploded and blossomed.

The sound of explosions covered all the shouts and screams, and the Japanese were hit with the strongest fire in Japanese history so far.

Mortar shells screaming and falling from the sky, wherever they landed, there was a piece of flesh and blood.

In the shogunate army, a young samurai was knocked to the ground, his ears were ringing, and he looked around with a confused expression, only to see a few ashigaru around him lying on the ground trembling with fright.

The young man's name was Yagyu Taiken, and he was a samurai of the Yagyu Domain, and he was considered a superior person in Japan.

The soldiers of the shogunate army were divided into three ranks, ashigaru, infantry, and samurai.

Among them, the ashigaru is the lowest, is the name of the miscellaneous soldiers, who are engaged in labor in peacetime, receive training in bows and arrows and guns in the slack time, and recruit into the army at the beginning of wartime, and form a unit to become the most basic infantry.

When leaving the station, Ashigaru also had to bring his own dry food, weapons, and armor, they were all laborers at home, so they were all afraid of death, just like a few cowards around Yanagi Taijian, and some were directly scared to pee.

"Boom !!"

Two more little Japan have been blown up!

Two seconds later, a finger fell in front of Yanagi's eyes......

After a group of three rounds of shelling, hundreds of soldiers had been killed and wounded in the array of the shogunate army, and the military formation that had been crowded together was suddenly chaotic.

Mortar shells are not large, not much more powerful than grenades, and a single shell can kill several small Japans.

Although the power of this thing does not change, its cost is very low, and the firing frequency is several times higher than that of the Hongyi cannon.

In recent years, the Ming army has been equipped with a large number of mortars, no matter what type of troops, first equipped with hundreds of them.

On the high ground where the banner of the coalition army is located, the shogunate commander Masayuki Hoshina sits under the banner, holding a long-handled Miao gold fan, directing the battle of the shogunate army.

For an army of tens of thousands, what is the death of a few hundred people? However, the array of the shogunate army was thrown into chaos by the Ming army!

Baoke Zhengzhi frowned, he didn't expect the Ming army's artillery to be so powerful!

What he didn't expect was that this kind of artillery of the Ming army seemed to be endless, and it was shot out round after round.

At this distance, the shogunate army could not inflict a blow on the Ming army, and could only be in a passive situation of being beaten, how could this be good!

Baoke Masayuki looked at Azig beside him and said tentatively: "General, the artillery of the Ming army is too powerful, if we continue to fight, I am afraid that our army will lose morale." ”

Azig sneered: "If you meet the enemy, you will be a bear, when will you widows be able to make a difference?" ”

Bao Ke Masayuki's face gradually sank, he wanted to let this Qing Demon send troops to support, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed!

I only heard Azig say again: "You like to fight or not, General Ben doesn't care, it's a big deal that General Ben takes his men back to Daqing!" When the time comes, it will be up to the Ming army to destroy your Tokugawa shogunate first, or to fight me first! ”

The ridiculed Hoshina Masayuki dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, he was afraid that this Qing demon would leave with this group of traitors Eight Banners, and then the shogunate army would be unable to stop the Ming army, and his own sin would be great!

Masayuki Hoshina had no choice but to order the shogunate army to continue the attack on the Ming army.

The ashigaru who was afraid of death in the shogunate army could only fill up their numbers on the battlefield and strengthen their momentum, and they were not the main force in the real battle.

The infantry is the professional branch of the shogunate army, that is, the professional soldiers, they are the elite members selected from the ashigaru, and are issued weapons and armor by the major names, and they are also the main force of the Japanese army, and those who perform well can also be promoted to samurai.

At present, there are about 20,000 shogunate troops participating in the war, including about 1,000 samurai, nearly 4,000 infantry, and the rest are all full of ashigaru.

Mortar shells continued to fall on the shogunate army, and some of the samurai who acted as commanders kept shouting: "Disperse the formation!" Don't huddle together! Rush up! ”

"Rush!"

"Ahh

Countless iron cannon infantry shouters with muskets rushed to the front of the Ming army, and everyone knew that only by rushing forward would they not have to be bombed!

There were also some Japanese samurai who held their swords forward and did not hesitate, and most of them were samurai of the Yagyu Domain.

Japan is a nation that advocates force and sword, and in foreign trade, swords account for a large proportion.

The Yagyu Domain is famous for its swordsmanship, and there have been many famous swordsmen, such as Yanagi Zongyan, Yanagi Zongju, and Yanagi Shibei, who are known as the "Yanagi Three Dogs".

The current lord of the Yagyu Domain, Yagyu Munetsu, is the swordsmanship teacher of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the general of the Seiyi Domain.

Yanagi Taiken, who was following the team, was speechless, seeing the surrounding explosions and people constantly taking off, he gradually slowed down and hid behind a bamboo shield.

Next to him, there were also many samurai hiding behind the bamboo bundle, obviously with a sense of crisis.

"Pick-up, get up and charge!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu's swordsmanship teacher and the lord of the Yagyu Domain, Yagyu Sodon, scolded loudly from behind.

At this moment, the Yanagi family's belligerent, proud, unyielding character, and untimely emotions filled Yagyu Sodon's mind.

He suddenly pulled out his saber and said sharply: "Our Yanagi family's swordsmanship is the best in Japan and the world, and it is invincible!" Samurai, keep fighting! The shogunate will win! Yanagi wins! ”

The samurai and infantry of the Yagyu Domain were all enthusiastic and their fighting spirit suddenly exploded, and they all raised their swords and shouted, "Victory!" Win! ”
