The Japanese are killing on a large scale!

The Japanese army of the Choshu Domain under the leadership of the Japanese head Mori Hideji launched an attack on the southeast army of 4,000 outside the city, this Mori Hideji is the uncle and brother of the feudal lord Mori Hidemoto, so that he has a good knife technique, and also has thoughts, he first fought with the southeast army, and found that he could not defeat the city and fled decisively, and then attacked by night fire!

That night, he watched the fire twenty miles outside the city, saw the fire in Hagi City, and thought that labor and management performed the first half of the Battle of Puyang of the Three Kingdoms, but unfortunately the second half could not be staged.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was widely circulated in the upper echelons of the Wa Kingdom, and the battle of Puyang was Lu Bu's trick to earn Cao Mengde to enter Puyang and burn the city, which made Cao Mengde embarrassed, and his arms were burned by the fire.

The reason why the Japanese army did not take advantage of the fire to attack was that it was night blindness, which was a big trouble in ancient times, and they did not dare to take risks.

As soon as the morning dawned, the Japanese army attacked!

They mobilized a full 6,000 men, twice as many as the southeastern army outside the city.

The leader of the Southeast Army is Yan Dian, who is a member of the Yan family, although he is young, he is a veteran, and the three thousand people led by him lined up three infantry phalanxes in front of the formation, with two artillery positions in the middle, and three columns of stragglers behind them, the guns are flintlock guns, equipped with newly developed infantry guns!

Infantry artillery has been developed in the southeast province, and Sun Yuanhua is ripe and mature.

They used a six-pounder field gun, which was relatively lightweight, with the gun mounted on a two-wheeled gun carriage, and the first gun had a front cart for ammunition boxes, also two-wheeled. When transporting, the gun carriage and the front carriage were connected together to form a four-wheeled carriage for easy towing, and the gun carriage with the front carriage weighed about 1 ton and required 4-6 horses to tow.

A cannon has 7 artillery officers to serve it, the gun commander is a non-commissioned officer, an ignitionist, a loader, two ammunition crews to carry ammunition, an assistant to assist in firing the guns, taking care of the ignition gun doors, and a soldier to wet the chamber (to avoid high temperatures and extinguish possible sparks when reloading)

In the past, the Southeast Army was all musketeers, but this time with artillery, the power has increased.

The Japanese army rushed frantically, and Yan Dian gasped with a "snow", which made the officers and soldiers around him a little surprised, what is the head?

It shouldn't be that I'm afraid, I heard Yan Dian say: "With so many Wu Dalang rushing here, I will have nightmares at night!" ”

Everyone saw that it was really the case, the Japanese people were generally four meters and five meters tall, with a pair of small short legs, running towards them with all their might, screaming in their mouths, waving swords and bamboo spears in their hands, and riding on a short horse in the leader's position, which was very ridiculous. (Oriental horses were bred by the Japanese people who introduced foreign horses and crossed them with domestic horses, and the original Oriental horses were very short)

The recruits of the Southeast Army are at least 1.6 meters, and the younger the Southeast soldiers, the taller their heads.

It's not to slander them, that's a fact, such as the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first of the Tokugawa shogunate, is only one meter five tall, the daimyo so-and-so, only eats one meal a day, is so hungry that he has to sleep during the day, such nutrition, can't raise tall people---- and later their tall people grew up after sucking the blood of China and North Korea!

The officers and soldiers of the southeast pursed their lips disdainfully, shook their heads, and some people said, "The musket should be downward, don't shoot flat, otherwise it will not hit!" ”

That is, someone said, "My guns are straight down, and I hit them!" ”

He described the dwarfness of the Japanese people, but he drew laughter from his comrades: "This guy's gun can't stand up!" ”

"If you can't stand up, one person can cut ten dwarfs!" The guy who couldn't stand up with ridicule retorted.

……

"Order the artillery team, the enemy can only fire these two hundred and five when the enemy is close to two hundred and fifty meters!" Yan Dian ordered: "Use all shotguns." ”

The range of the artillery was 500 meters away, Yan Dian was afraid that the Japanese people would be beaten too hard, and seeing that the situation was not good, they would not be able to bear too many casualties, so after shouting, he would retract his claws, and then turn around and run away, wouldn't it make everyone spend more effort in the future? So he ordered to get closer and fight again.

Seeing the equipment of the Japanese people, the lack of iron armor, the musket and artillery against them can be a massacre, even if they come twice as much, it is purely to deliver food.

The Japanese people are full of spirit, maybe their bushido gave them confidence,

"The enemy is nearly 500 meters!" The opponent attacked with a sea of people tactics, while the southeastern army stood still.

"The enemy is nearly 400 meters!"

"The enemy is nearly three hundred meters!" The non-commissioned officer who observed kept reporting the number, why he knew the distance of the enemy, it was measured in advance, and some signs were made on the ground, as for the "meter" is Yan Changwu's length unit setting, which is close to the real meter distance.

"Ready!" The officer's saber was raised, polished brightly, the artillery glowed in the sun, and the artillery was ready to fight.

"The enemy is nearly two hundred and five!" The voice of the observing non-commissioned officer became agitated.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

With a sound of orders, the officer's saber was stretched out, and the igniter pulled the torch in his hand towards the lead, and in less than three seconds, it was roaring!

Twenty shotguns of black light and shadow were released from the white smoke, and with a dull whistling sound, they fell on the heads of the swarming Japanese army and exploded!

The shell of the shotgun shattered, and countless projectiles mixed with fragments of the shell flew out of it, spreading into a large piece in mid-air, and those bullets brought out a short scream!

Then countless terrible screams made people goosebumps even in broad daylight, and the chill was great!

The Japanese paused for a moment, then numbly continued their charge fearlessly at the urging of the commander.

"Go ahead, don't stop!"

"Those who dare to retreat will be killed!" The commander roared, whipping the soldiers desperately on their little short legs, but unfortunately they were not 100-meter flyers, and soon they were in for a second round of combined shotgun fire and musket attacks!

A dense rain of bullets swept through the Japanese soldiers like a storm, sweeping them to the ground like wheat cuts.

The Japanese soldiers paused again, at a loss, there was no one to urge them, and basically none of the Japanese on horseback were on the front line, and they were all dismounted!

The mounted officers behind shouted out, but their voices were insignificant in the sound of gunfire.

"Boom, boom!" Some of the "lucky" Japanese soldiers dodged the guns, and when they were so close to those damned Ming people, they ate the bombs!

The grenadiers of the southeast province let the Japanese people eat big potatoes, and they were blown up, and one of them, a short monkey-like guy, actually flew into the sky!

Now the Japanese people can't stand it, they are not professional soldiers, but peasant soldiers, soldiers who are temporarily conscripted for farm work in peacetime, they have no fighting quality at all, and they can't bear the strength, so they actually run back!

Such an action is a taboo for soldiers, either the road is black to the end, continue to charge, or you should not come.

There was a good show, they squeezed together with the Japanese soldiers behind them, and were attacked by the third round of shotguns!

In the terrible scream, the shotgun pierced through the white gunpowder smoke, which exploded in the chaotic ranks of the Japanese army, and then there were countless cries!

The quality of the shotgun was good, almost every bullet exploded, and the flying projectiles bleed and wounded a large number of Japanese soldiers, and they felt the suffocating feeling of suffocation from the surging air waves, and they could no longer withstand the blow, and they broke up!

"Chase!" Yan Dian personally led a thousand infantry to chase and kill the Japanese people, and the Japanese people were sad to find their legs short, and watched the southeast army catch up with them, and effortlessly caught up with them, and shot them down!
