Chapter 148. Fighting eyes
One of Yuan Chonghuan's crimes, jealousy and killing friendly soldiers! In the defense of the Beijing Division, the Liao Division opened artillery in the north of the city, but it hit the Mangui Department in the east of the city, eliminated a large number of friendly troops, and at the same time gave Mangui a big reward, which made Chongzhen even more convinced that Yuan Chonghuan was a traitor and a spy.
From one side, this cannon is really not easy to fight, Yuan Chonghuan is still on the vast battlefield, but Mao Jue has two cannons in a regiment, and fourteen Hongyi heavy artillery are all arranged in the camp, and the distance from the forward position is only between 400 meters and 500 meters.
Turning the crank, the beads of sweat on the head of the deputy gunner were dripping down, and Xiao Chunzi's forehead was sweating, and he cautiously put his thumb against the wind direction to test the height, even Mao Jue himself was staring at the cannons around him.
The angle was almost ninety degrees, and the limit distance of the ruler was almost stuck to the limit, and the two soldiers holding the shrapnel left the lead to the longest, and at this time, the statue-like Haruko finally came to life.
"Ready, fire!"
"Ready! Fa Ye !!"
Long cannonballs were stuffed into the chamber, and the guns, similar to the flintlock firing device, whistled out with the flag, and just as everyone was in their hearts, two black shadows dragged their long tails into the sky.
Outside the city.
Although the casualties are still one after another, but after all, it is not as exaggerated as yesterday when hundreds of people were killed in a few seconds in a wave of charges, this kind of casualty iron cannon samurai, the iron cannon is light and can withstand it, and while moving and shooting, the huge fish scale array has been pushed to more than fifty meters under the trench.
Usually I secretly go up the mountain to shoot a rabbit or something, and the marksmanship is not too wasteful, a samurai has just shot, and his ears suddenly itch violently Relying on experience, he immediately shrank his head behind the thickest pillar of the bamboo bundle, and his shoulders were also against it.
However, the imaginary impact of the bullet did not come, and the itching of the ear became more intense, and finally, the iron cannon warrior raised his head in amazement.
Overhead, black dots like wasps whistled into his eyes......
Poof!
…………
The bamboo bundle was messily thrown under the earthen wall, many of the corpses wearing black bamboo armor were pressed underneath, and the precious iron cannon was also thrown to the ground, and the army of Japanese warriors who were violently killed was once again like the tourists after the eleventh long holiday, and the garbage on the ground was scattered in a hurry, and under a bamboo bundle, a samurai looked at the sky with empty eyes, and there seemed to be an extra eye on his head, and there was a black and red blood hole.
A grenade shotgun twenty-eight pill-sized lead beads, fourteen gates is five hundred and four, five rounds of shooting, thousands of shots embedded in the position, it was like a heavenly justice The attack once again broke the fighting spirit of the Japanese people, and the attack that was originally intended to win was defeated like water, gray like a rat crossing the street, and the army of the two domains retreated back into the camp outside the city.
Mao Jue stepped on his black military leather boots with satisfaction, paced on the earthen wall again, and wiped his nose with his thumb in front of the still heavy Japanese army.
The war has entered a boring and irritating stalemate, the attack on the second day was repulsed, and the two strong feudal clans did not dare to attack like Mao Jue's trench for a while, and then in two or three days, the Ming army entered a leisurely state of passing the time with cigarettes in their mouths, but also because of the thick samurai army behind him, Mao Jue's attack on Nagasaki City was also delayed.
To tell the truth, this stalemate is very unfavorable to Mao Jue, he is a labor expedition, although a batch of grain looted from the local area, plus the military rations carried on the ship, enough for the Ming army to eat more than a month, but the two strong feudal clans have the support of a territory of almost millions of stones, and their food is endless, as for Nagasaki City behind him, although I don't know how the grain of this city is, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Kaifeng City can support Li Zicheng for a year, and it should not be a problem for Nagasaki to support for a month, right?
Three battleships were still patrolling the sea, and two waves of Japanese ships tried to leave the harbor, but were bombarded back by artillery.
But Mao Jue was not in a hurry.
In the creaking sound, the three gates in the long trench were lowered together, and more than 100 cavalry roared out of each gate, rushing to the camp of the Japanese army.
However, the cavalry of the Ming army did not have the intention of charging into the battle at all, and the fast horse galloped to about 60 meters in front of the formation, and directly came to a beautiful drift, and the fierce cavalry shot the horse pistols at hand in turn at the Japanese army.
The wood hit by the bullets crackled and exploded, and the samurai hiding behind also suddenly burst out of a bloody flower on the chest and arm, screaming and falling backwards, in the messy shouting and scolding, those Japanese people also threw out the muskets and bows violently, and hit the front of the battle in an uproar, but unfortunately, most of these can only be regarded as farewell gifts to the Ming army, after firing a shot, these cavalry directly turned the horse's butt and ran back, the flexible cavalry was too difficult to capture, even if there were occasional stray bullets hit the Ming army, The thick cotton armor and the scab armor inside also stuck the projectile outside, and the Ming army encountered the problem of breaking the armor of the Houjin army on the battlefield in Liaodong, and now it is perfectly displayed in front of these Japanese people.
Comfortably ran back to his tower, reloaded the shorter flintlock pistol, and slammed his legs between his horses in the eyes of those widows, and under the shouts of the leading general Liu Chong, the cavalry launched a fierce attack again.
In fact, such a fight could not kill dozens of Japanese soldiers in a day, but this was a fatal blow to the morale of the Japanese people, and the number of Japanese warriors guarding the wooden fence gate was obviously declining.
It's not just the cavalry during the day, in the days when the Japanese people avoided the war, Mao Jue gave full play to what is called mosquito tactics, and I don't know how many dark ditches he dug, at night, there are often Japanese soldiers standing guard, standing and standing suddenly banged, the head blossomed, sometimes a don't pay attention, these bold Ming troops actually killed the edge of the wooden coffin, and the tent inside is a cold gun, and regardless of the results, run away, sometimes the tent is broken and can't hit the people inside, but wake up suddenly in your sleep, As soon as I looked up, the bullet grazed the tip of my nose, and I had to collapse if I was a normal person, right?
On the fourth day, the angry commander of the Japanese army finally blew up, chasing the fleeing Ming army, thousands of cavalry held swords and angrily killed out of the barracks, but this time, Mao Jue set off a firework again at night.
…………
"That's too short!"
Dragged back the dead Japanese war horses from outside the earthen wall, and the Huotou Army began to peel the skin and slaughter on the spot, which can also replenish some military rations, which can be regarded as a meaty meal, but looking at the Japanese war horses hanging on the shelf, Mao Jue muttered dissatisfied.
It's not that he has a high vision, the Japanese war horses of this era are really short, and the shoulder height is only one meter two and one meter three, which is about the same size as a donkey.
In Mao Jue's complaint, the horses carefully raised by the samurai were skinned on the spot, and the "elite of the Li Dynasty" wearing a navy blue uniform and no armor came to the door.
"General Mao, Master Li Shanhai, please do it!"
Although the fighting has been lively in the past few days, there is really nothing to do with Li Chaojun, their combat effectiveness, and Mao Jue is worried about whether they will collapse inexplicably.
However, in line with the principle of waste utilization, Mao Jue did not let them be idle, in addition to the Ming army in the trench, there were more than 10,000 widow coolies, and they were not needed after digging the trench, and these Li Chaobing soldiers happened to be regarded as guards.
If you can't even look down on a group of unarmed civilians, this friendly army will be too useless, right? muttered in his heart, with a team of guards, Mao Jue hurried over, but when he arrived at the place, the situation encountered by Li Shanhai should really make Mao Jue frown.
"Someone got in!"
Mao Jue's defensive formation is a bit like a sickle, facing the extension of the sickle blade, the four regiments are all rooted here, and the defense behind is a lot sparse, only one regiment of the Xiongjin mercenary regiment is used by the Goryeo soldiers, and the remaining two regiments are used as reserve troops, supporting at any time, the devil soldiers in the city have been frightened, like the ancestor of the Daling River, they dare not send troops easily.
However, even if the Goryeo regiment did not have cavalry, it was inevitable that the earthen wall of more than 3,000 meters guarded by nine artillery posts would still be overturned, and last night, more than a dozen devils turned over and mixed in with those Japanese coolies.
The Japanese are more anxious than Mao Jue, although they can trap the Ming army, but what kind of place is this, Nagasaki! The only port city of the Wa State to the outside world, the Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Nanban trade can bring hundreds of thousands of taels of profits every month, and this is still the money bag of the shogun, if it is not taken back sooner, the shogunate will have to blame sooner or later, and it is not necessary to take the opportunity to cut the stone high, but they have been scared by the sharp artillery shells of the Ming army, so they can only play with their hearts.
Mao Jue's subordinates, plus Li Shanhai's subordinates plus the sailors borrowed from the Dongjiang River, were barely more than 7,900 points, less than 8,000, and were assigned to a regiment of Tsushima, and the sea warships occupied more than 1,000 people, and now there are only more than 6,000 horses in the trenches.
Now he was a grasshopper tied to a rope with Mao Jue, and no one could run, while regretting that he didn't bring a few thousand more soldiers and horses, the old guy nervously looked at the widows who were lying or sitting in a single earthen wall below.
It can be clearly seen that there are a few more small circles in the crowd, those who are either former townspeople, or tyrants in the brewhouse, just like the characters like the owner of the Ji Terrier shop in Yixiu Ge, these people sneakily gather together and don't know what to mutter, and there are people who burrow into the crowd like worker bees.
Li Shanhai is such an old fox, this bit of cattiness was seen through by him at a glance, and looking at this scene with his fingers, Mao Jue really had a headache and knocked on his brain.
Humans are really the most difficult animals to manage.
"Master Li, do you have any good suggestions?"
With a slash of his hand on his neck, Li Shanhai grinned with murderous intent on his face, and replied like a ghost.
"Kill them all!"
