Chapter Seventy-Four: Defeat
With a "boom", the shell fell next to the cannon, smashing a large crater in the ground, but fortunately there were no casualties to the Japanese invaders. Seeing this, Saburo Takeshita smiled disdainfully and said, "The person who fired the cannonball on the opposite side is probably a rookie, so I will aim at their position first, and let our warriors teach them how to aim." ”
Seeing that the shell did not hit the enemy, Wang Yong was not discouraged, walked to the side of the other cannon, rotated the barrel, and after adjusting the muzzle, he lit the fuse.
Seeing that Qi Long was still leading people to approach him, Saburo Takeshita hurriedly ordered: "Archer, release arrows for me, don't let this group of people rush up!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the archer behind him hurriedly pulled his bow and arrows, and after roughly aiming, he shot the bow and arrows. For a while, the overwhelming rain of arrows shot towards Qi Long and the others like locusts pressing the territory.
Qi Long and the others hurriedly waved the military thorn in their hands and shot down the arrow feathers one by one, although the team members next to them tried their best to resist, but some people were accidentally shot by the arrow feathers. Qi Long, who was under the pressure of the rain of arrows for a while, couldn't take a step forward, and when Zhu Cihong saw this, he was about to order Qi Long to withdraw, when another cannon let out an angry roar.
With a "boom", the cannonballs quickly smashed towards the Japanese pirates, and Takeshita Saburo saw that the cannonballs had smashed again, but he didn't take it to heart, and his men wiped the cannons as soon as possible, striving to shoot a second cannonball as soon as possible. This shell smashed into the side of a cannon impartially, and the shell smashed a big hole in the ground, and the cannon fell into the pit together with the wiping of the cannon body next to it, and the huge impact force shook the wiping pike to the point of bleeding, and after a while, it lost its breath, and the artillery body was also skewed, and it seemed that it could no longer be fired.
Saburo Takeshita saw that this cannonball actually reimbursed one of his cannons, and the smile on his face gradually solidified, and he shouted angrily: "Hurry up and wipe it for me, cool down the cannon body as soon as possible, I don't know my own mother who wants to blow them up." ”
Zhu Cihong saw that everyone was still wiping the cannon body with wet sheepskin, and immediately said angrily, "What are you doing one by one?" Am I saying something that is deaf to the ear? You forgot about it? I said that I poured cold water into the barrel of the gun, and the body of the gun was splashed with cold water, don't you understand? ”
The team member next to the cannon glanced at Qi Long for help, and Qi Long twisted his head to the side, pretending not to see the request for help. With no choice but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, the Flying Tigers poured cold water into the barrel of the cannon and poured water on the cannon at the same time. I saw that the cannon was suddenly shrouded in a mist of water, and the water sizzled.
After just two breaths, the temperature of the cannon body dropped in a straight line, and after a while, the cannon body was cooled down. Seeing this, the team members on the side shouted in surprise: "The captain's cannon body is cold, and he can open the cannon." ”
When Wang Yong heard that the cannon could be fired, he hurriedly adjusted the muzzle of the cannon and lit the fuse. At the same time, the team poured cold water into another gun chamber.
With a "boom", the cannon let out a roar, and a cannonball smashed down on the pirates. This time, the shell actually hit the enemy's shell, and the power of the shell suddenly increased several times, and all the four cannons next to it were blown up at once.
Saburo Takeshita was stunned when he saw this, he obviously only had two cannons in the hands of the enemy, and in the blink of an eye, the enemy had already fired three shells, and these three cannonballs had blown up all five of his cannons.
Before Saburo Takeshita could react, another cannonball fell from the sky, and the cannonball smashed into the formation of the archers in the back row.
This time, the archers in the back were completely frightened, and they didn't care about Saburo Takeshita's orders, and hurriedly ran to the back. Saburo Takeshita angrily stopped his troops, but the archers were frightened by the shells, and who would pay attention to him?
As soon as the archers retreated, the attack of the rain of arrows stopped, and Qi Long especially cherished this opportunity and rushed forward with everyone. Zhu Cihong saw that the attack of the Japanese Kou with a rain of arrows came to an abrupt halt, and hurriedly ordered everyone to rush forward. When Wang Yong heard Zhu Cihong's order to attack, he gave up controlling the artillery and personally led people to rush towards Longwan Ridge.
Takeshita Saburo didn't care about the problem that the cannon body had not cooled down at this time, and hurriedly ordered the gunner to hurry up and open the cannon, the gunner was forced by the power of Takeshita Saburo, and had no choice but to put the cannonball into the barrel that had not yet cooled down, as the fuse burned out, the three cannons let out three roars, and the cannonballs smashed fiercely towards the place where Wang Yong was standing, and the three cannonballs blew out a deep pit on the ground, and the two cannons were all blown up.
Although the cannon had been blown up, the personnel had all stepped forward to charge because of Zhu Cihong's order, so they did not cause too many casualties.
Saburo Takeshita saw that the three shells had accurately hit the enemy's artillery, and immediately shouted happily: "Don't run, the enemy's artillery has been blown up, they can't hit you anymore, give me all back, and those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed!" ”
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Saburo Takeshita personally rushed to the front of a person, chopped off the head of the widow with a knife in his hand, and then raised the chopped head high, and shouted hoarsely: "This is the end of escaping from the battle, and if anyone retreats without permission, they will be killed!" ”
Although the archers in front had already greeted the eight generations of Takeshita Saburo's ancestors in their hearts, but due to the threat of Takeshita Saburo, no one dared to run away anymore, so he turned around and shot arrows at Qi Long and others.
At this time, Qi Long rushed to a place about a hundred steps away from the Japanese with fifty Flying Tiger soldiers, and Qi Long pulled out the grenade and threw it at the Japanese Kou fiercely.
When the front of the Japanese saw the grenade thrown over, they turned their heads and ran away in fright, for fear that they would be blown up by the grenade. Saburo Takeshita, who was in the back, was also angry when he saw the Japanese in front of him fleeing, and his front foot had just stabilized the military heart of the back row, and the front row was defeated again.
Saburo Takeshita stepped forward, raised the head he had just chopped off in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Those who run away without permission, this is the end!" The archers in the back row will cover you, and the ball they threw is only a little more than a hundred paces, and I believe that our arrows will overwhelm them, so give me all the right to go back to the front, and hold the position so that the enemy does not rush up. ”
Seeing that the archers in the back row had already begun to shoot arrows, forced by the threat of Saburo Takeshita, the Japanese who were still planning to retreat turned their heads and rushed towards Qi Long. At the moment when the Japanese invaders fled, Qi Long advanced another fifty steps, and the team members pulled out their grenades and threw them at them vigorously. As soon as the grenade was thrown, some of the team members were unfortunately shot by the bows and arrows of the Japanese Invaders.
Fifty grenades were thrown into the enemy's formation, and the people who blew up the pirates turned on their backs, and the surviving pirates in front didn't care to listen to Saburo Takeshita's orders, so they threw down their weapons one by one and turned around and ran.
