One hundred and twenty-six men rushed out of the trench. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The distance between the two armies was about a mile, and at first a hundred meters Lei San did not need to lie on the ground to advance. But when it came to a distance of 400 meters from the opposite trench, it was within the range of a sniper rifle. Although the number of sniper rifles of the Japanese was small, one of them was one and still threatened the soldiers of the Tiger Army. One hundred and twenty-six men crawled slowly towards the position of the shogunate army.

In front of Lei San is the position of Matsudaira Sawaye, the shogunate army's ashigaru general.

The soldiers of the shogunate army hid in the pits at the bottom of the trenches to hide from the shells, and at first no one noticed that the tiger army was starting to charge.

It wasn't until Lei San advanced one hundred and fifty meters and was already within range of the sniper rifle that the officers of the shogunate army noticed that the tiger army was pressing up. The flag was waved, and the shogunate ordered the soldiers on the front line to stand up and shoot at the enemy.

The distance was about three hundred and fifty meters, and Matsudaira Sawaye stuck out his head to observe the enemy situation here.

Lei San's soldiers were waiting for this moment.

The Tsuo rifle is rear-loaded, so it can be loaded and shot even when lying on the ground. The infantry on this side advanced alternately, half advancing and half raising their guns to cover. That is, more than a hundred rifles had already been aimed at the edge of the trench a few tens of meters in front.

As soon as Matsudaira Sawaye stuck out his head, four rifles opened fire on him.

However, the distance was too far, and one head was too small, and the bullet did not hit Matsudaira Zeye. The bullet hit the dirt on the edge of the trench, "suddenly" and "suddenly" and "suddenly" shot out several splashes of dirt.

Why did the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom shoot all on their stomachs?

Matsudaira Zeye looked at the rear-loading gun soldiers who were shooting at him, and his face turned white in shock. Don't the soldiers of the Ming people need to be loaded? What is the rationale for this?

Could it be that the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom stood and loaded their bullets, and then crawled forward on their stomachs?

However, this was not the time to delve into this, seeing that more rifles were about to shoot at him, Matsudaira Zeye quickly stuck his head back, not daring to show his head again.

The charge of more than 100 people here was discovered by Matsudaira Zeye. At this time, Matsudaira Sawaye had already withdrawn the main force, and there were only six shogunate soldiers within thirty zhang of him, where could he stop the tiger army that pressed up?

More than 10,000 people have been killed in the battle, and the morale of the shogunate can be said to be very low, and once the trench is occupied, it is afraid that it will collapse. Matsudaira Sawaye secretly wanted to stop these enemies who were charging into battle. Hurriedly ordered the captain of the ashigaru next to him to come up and reinforce the troops behind.

Sixty men of the two ashigaru teams were mobilized and stood in the thirty zhang trenches to the left and right of Matsudaira Sawaye.

Matsudaira was unable to mobilize more men, as the artillery of the Tiger Army would bombard the trench at any moment.

But the Ashigaru Daisho soon discovered that the sixty people were no match for the Ming people who were 300 meters away.

The soldiers of the Ming Kingdom could not only reload on their stomachs, but also reload extremely quickly. A reload can be completed in five or six seconds. In order to complete a shot, it would take twenty seconds for the shogunate army to use black powder. The firing density of one hundred and twenty-six people of the Tiger Army can be said to be eight times that of the sixty shogunate troops.

In other words, if any of the shogunate troops on this side finally loaded their bullets and stuck out their heads ready to shoot, there would be seven or eight rifles that had already finished loading, searching for targets in the trenches.

Matsudaira was stunned by the rate of fire of the Tiger Army's new rifle. He had always thought that the Mini rifle, which was newly equipped with the shogunate army, was very advanced. But in front of the Tsuo-style rifle, the Mini rifle in the hands of the Japanese iron gunner seemed to be a burning stick, completely suppressed to death.

Matsudaira sawa watched as an iron gunner stood up straight with a rifle in his hand, and before he could start shooting, he was shot through the head with a pop. The bullet pierced the gunner's hat, and blood splashed on his forehead, and the gunner fell silently in the trench.

As soon as the gunner fell, one of the gunners next to him stood up, was shot through the nose with another pop, and fell into the trench screaming, screaming like a pig.

Matsudaira Zeye secretly said that it was not good, and quickly looked up and looked outside, and found that more than a hundred soldiers of the Tiger Army had climbed to a distance of two hundred meters.

If you don't stop these more than 100 people, you will be rushed into the trench by the Tiger Ben army. Matsudaira Sawaye roared loudly, letting the iron gunners around him shoot at full speed.

However, the rate of fire of the rear-loading guns was too fast, and as soon as the iron gunners beside Matsudaira Sawaye stuck out their heads, they had to face the seven or eight rear-loading gunners waiting there. One person against seven or eight people, the outcome can be imagined. One after another, the iron gunners were shot down by Lei San's infantry, their heads were opened, and they died tragically in the trench thirty zhang wide.

Matsudaira Zeye secretly said that it was not good, and such scattering was to send him to death.

He roared loudly, causing the fifty still alive iron gunners to give up scattering and start firing a salvo. After everyone has loaded their bullets, they stick their heads out of the trench together and fire a salvo. In this way, even if the rear-loading gun is fast, it can only be fired when the shogunate is loaded with bullets.

However, Matsudaira Sawaye's tactics changed too late, and by the time the iron gunners were all loaded with bullets for a salvo, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army on the opposite side had already advanced to a distance of forty zhang and were about to rush forward.

Matsudaira Sawaye secretly stuck his head out of the trench and glanced at the Tiger Ben soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and his face turned red in surprise.

If the first line of trenches of the shogunate army was occupied, and the Ming people hid in the first line of trenches and fired at the left and right trenches and the second line of trenches, it would be a devastating blow to the morale of the shogunate army.

Matsudaira had no time to think more, and the first problem now was to stop the more than 100 people who were rushing into battle. He subconsciously shouted to the captain of the ashigaru beside him: "Transfer five more ashigaru teams to come up and stop the people of the Ming Kingdom!" ”

One hundred and fifty iron gunners ran up from the trench behind and began to shoot at the Tiger Ben army, who was lying more than 100 meters away.

Two hundred iron gunners stood in the trench and finally stopped the soldiers of the Tiger Army.

The ground on the battlefield was not absolutely flat, and Lei San's soldiers were lying behind a small Tulong and shooting at the two hundred shogunate troops, but they also fought indiscriminately.

At this time, the two sides were evenly matched, and the soldiers on both sides were afraid that they would be shot if their heads stuck out for too long, so they aimed very hastily. While the soldiers on one side shoot, the soldiers on the other side often hide behind cover.

The hit rate has plummeted.

A few hundred bullets may not hit an enemy.

The shogunate began another volley, and nearly 200 men stuck out their heads and fired a random shot in this direction. Lei San's soldiers lowered their heads and hid, but not one of them was shot.

When the gunfire on the opposite side stopped, Lei San raised his head and glanced at the opposite side, and saw the two hundred heads on the opposite side quickly hiding in the trench, and sneered.

In weekday training, Lei San has faced such a scene countless times. The primary purpose of a breech-loading assault is to attract the enemy to place a dense presence in the trench, rather than actually capturing the enemy's trench in the rain of bullets.

Lei San raised the small launch canister he was carrying on his back and fired a flare into the sky.

A small, dazzling aluminium flare shot into the sky, the one calling for artillery support.

Within a dozen seconds of the flare flying into the sky, more than 200 mortars aimed at the trench of the shogunate army in front of Lei San and began a devastating carpet bombardment.
