Chapter 1109 - Shoot or Cut Stomach (Ask for Subscription)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......"
In the midst of a very neat Japanese-style shout, Shigesumi Yamamoto, who was holding a katana in his hand, was nervously covered in sweat - he was now terrified to death, and the images of seppuku and shooting to death kept coming to his mind...... It was as if what was in front of him was the most difficult multiple-choice question in the world.
Either shoot or seppuku!
Although there was a lot of smoke on the battlefield, the Toyotomi army gunners on the opposite side spotted the approaching "lobster soldiers" - these Japanese soldiers wearing red cuirasses and helmets really looked like lobsters, and they were cooked lobsters...... It's not very lucky!
Boom......
A bullet from the Toyotomi Army hit the mud in front of Yamamoto Shigesumi, causing the mud and sand to fly, and some of it splashed on Yamamoto's old grandfather's face.
It's dangerous!
Yamamoto was in a cold sweat!
If he had walked a few steps faster, he would have been knocked to the ground and bleeding profusely!
However, Yamamoto, who escaped death, still has the idea that he will not escape, because he knows that now is not the most dangerous time.
The most dangerous time is when the team walks within 30 paces of the opponent's line with the Toyotomi army's bullets - the arquebuses used by the Toyotomi army can also hit humanoid targets very accurately. And at this distance, the smoke of gunpowder is not enough to protect this lonely old man.
And what made Yamamoto despair the most was that he was not walking in the middle of the queue, but walking on the left side of the queue with several group leaders. This kind of formation is good for the heads, group leaders to manage the queue and supervise the battle, but it also puts them in the most dangerous position - it is equivalent to listing them separately for people to shoot!
This tactic is too unreasonable, how did the generals of the Ming Kingdom come up with it?
And what is even more unreasonable is that you are not allowed to escape...... Bao Ke has already issued a death order, all the soldiers of the Red Iron Artillery Army can only fight to the death, can not escape, and those who escape from the battle must be cut to apologize! And no one minds that if you don't dare to do it, then someone else will do it for you!
There's really no way to live! Yamamoto thought to himself: If you don't pass the exam, you have to cut your stomach, and if you pass the exam, you have to cut your stomach...... If you don't want to cut your stomach, you have to be a target! Why are samurai in troubled times so miserable?
The old man Yamamoto turned his head and glanced at the right rear, and through a cloud of smoke, the old man saw dead or dying people all over the place, lying there horizontally and vertically, all red...... Some of them are not dead, and they are still rolling and wailing in despair!
If I had known, I wouldn't have lived that old...... How good it was to die in the peaceful years of Tokugawa's reign! How is it that this body never gets sick? Really......
The bitter old man Yamamoto took a breath of choking air, then gritted his teeth, puffed up his chest, raised his katana (not an ancestral sword, it was sold to his wife Aju), and continued to move forward with stiff steps.
At this time, a miracle suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and the gunfire on the part of the originally dense Toyotomi army became more and more sparse!
What's going on? Could it be that the Toyotomi Army's iron cannon was too hot to fire?
While the old man was pondering, he suddenly heard a shrill whistle from nowhere!
This is an order to stop!
The old man hurriedly squinted his eyes and looked forward, at this time most of the smoke in front of him had dissipated, and he realized that the Toyotomi army on the opposite side was changing formations - the artillery men retreated, and the pikemen moved forward!
It turned out that the generals on the Toyotomi side regarded the hematite artillery army as a hand-to-hand combat force - because the soldiers of the hematite artillery army all inserted polished bayonets into the flintlock pistols, and the cold light was shining, and it was scary to look at! Moreover, this group of hematite artillery soldiers has not fired a single shot all the way up, and this is not the way the musketeers play!
So seeing them approaching, the commander of the Toyotomi army hurriedly asked their iron gunners to retreat - the iron gunners of the Toyotomi army all have katanas, but they can't cut spears with a knife!
And if the iron artillery soldiers have done all the hand-to-hand work, why should the spear bearer in the back be paid?
And the iron gunners of the Toyotomi Army have just come up, and before they have time to form a team, they also find out that something is wrong! The smoke in front had already dispersed, and they had already seen the Nagasaki Army on the opposite side...... Where are they pikemen, they are clearly all iron artillery soldiers! And they had already set up a three-column firing formation, the first in a kneeling position, the second holding the muskets flat, and the third column slightly diverging from the second, placing the muskets on the shoulders of the soldiers in the second column.
Finally you can not die!
Old man Shigesumi Yamamoto, who was scared half to death just now, is now alive again, he has raised the katana in his hand high, and then shouted: "Kill to ......"
Then he slammed the katana and threw it down.
More than 1,800 flintlock pistols were fired at the same time! Each flintlock pistol spewed a long puff of white smoke forward. The battlefield was once again shrouded in gunpowder smoke that was so thick that it could not be erased, and on the five-hundred-step wide front, a long line of fireworks appeared in the blink of an eye.
The gunshots were all in one piece, and when they came together, they turned into an earth-shattering thunder, and even Mitsuhisa Shimazu and De Velasco, who were far away in the Toyotomi army's main camp, were startled by this loud noise! Is this the Nagasaki Army's giant cannon firing? That's a lot of movement, how much weight is that...... It's not a flowering bomb, is it?
Of course, these two could not imagine now that the blow to their right wing would be much more terrible than being directly hit by a flowering bullet weighing dozens of pounds!
More than 1,800 bullets rushed into the somewhat chaotic ranks of the Toyotomi army with a sharp whistling sound, mercilessly penetrating everything that stood in their way. The popping sound of bullets piercing through the human body kept sounding, and a puff of blood mist was raised on the other side of the human body, and at the same time, a huge wound that made people desperate open!
Just the first round of volleys, hundreds of bloodied human bodies lay in front of the Toyotomi army, the sound of wailing one after another, and the survivors were shocked by the scene in front of them - is this the legendary Abi Hell?
"Quick, reload!"
"One more round!"
"Move fast ......"
Shigesumi Yamamoto and the other officers of the Hematocarpus Army were shouting loudly, urging their men to hurry up and reload!
What a rare opportunity! Now the Toyotomi army on the opposite side has become a mess, and it is still pikemen who are being pushed up, and there is no possibility of even counterattacking, so they can only stand up and be shot!
"Boom ......"
There was another thunderous roar, and more than 1,800 buckshot bullets swept through the front of the Toyotomi army like a whirlwind, knocking down a large number of overwhelmed pikemen......
And then, another third salvo!
Three rounds of close-range musket volleys fell, and the samurai of the Toyotomi army couldn't stand it, and they threw their spears and ran away, and the iron artillery soldiers of the Toyotomi army who had just retreated from the front were also dumbfounded, and the officers who led the team were still shouting in despair, wanting to regroup and shoot at the enemy, but their team had already been scattered by the pikemen who had lost the soul of the samurai, where could they still be organized?
At the same time, the hematite artillery army, which had finished three salvos, had already launched a white-knuckle charge!
Yamamoto Shigesumi, who was scared to death just now, also turned into an "ancient military god" at this time, brandishing a katana and rushing towards the iron artillery soldiers of the Toyotomi army with the iron artillery soldiers below - he had forgotten what he was afraid of death just now, and thought to himself: If he was born 50 years earlier, with his own ability, he might be able to fight a feudal lord! And now it's a little old, and the two sons are gone, if you really make a domain, who will inherit it?
The Toyotomi family's iron artillery was finished, they didn't have bayonets, and they didn't have time to load, and even the formation had been lost, and they were just crowded there in chaos...... Not a samurai at all, but a herd of lambs to the slaughter!
Woowoo......
Yamamoto, who had already rushed into the enemy formation, faintly heard a rush of trumpets in his ears again! The old man thought: This should be the clarion call for a general attack, right? The Nagasaki army is about to win a big victory, and the revival of the Toyotomi family has come to an end!
