The whole book .,The fastest update of the latest chapter of Zhongxing Road at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

Forty years have passed since the Battle of Wanli to aid the Dynasty, but many of the backbone soldiers and warriors who had participated in the war are still in their twilight years, and their impression of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army has not been completely blurred by the passage of time.

In the impression of many people, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is about the same as the standing decent force of each family, and it is only stronger than the mobilized force of 20 or 30 people. If it is an elite with a Kanzhan samurai or even a Kanzhan iron gunner as the core, then the elite who encounters the Ming army can barely compete in the case of a similar number of people, if there is a multiplier advantage in troops, and the team participating in the battle is not very much, then the chance of victory is actually very great.

Therefore, when the landing team saw that the ships on the sea did not approach and launch the somewhat frightening shelling, but continued to disperse to chase and intercept the ships in other directions, many people gradually recovered from the panic that had suffered heavy setbacks in the previous naval battle.

"Don't worry, everyone! The situation was roughly investigated by our spies before nightfall yesterday, and the Ming army stationed not far from the coast was only about a few hundred people, and they were very scattered and stationed in a team of about 100 people. Even if there are reinforcements this night, as long as our luck is not too bad, this battle should be nine out of ten! ”

When the forces gradually gathered and the people who were scouting the front line returned to the front, and the news came that the enemy situation did not seem to have changed much, the morale that still did not seem to have returned to normal was much boosted at this time. However, the generals who led the team certainly understood that it was not appropriate to rush into close combat when the team's physical strength and even morale had not yet returned to their best condition. Therefore, he also ordered each team to first launch a fierce suppression at a long distance with fierce barrels and iron cannons when approaching the opponent's stronghold, which seems to have been greatly influenced by the Ming Dynasty back then, or perhaps it was the truce of decades that made each family also hoard a lot of saltpeter.

At this distance, theoretically speaking, the effect of firepower should be discounted a lot, at least when the strength is almost the same, it is not suitable to fire at such a long distance, unless it is to deal with some opponents who do not have much decent protection at all, but in the case of the opponent's own strength in the battle, the firearms alone have dozens of times more than the opponent's people, that is a tactic of when. Because in the face of the rain-like projectile, even if the power of the projectile has been attenuated to a large extent, there should not be much protection to be truly safe.

Moreover, such a fierce fire was also a test of the opponent's combat effectiveness to a large extent, and seeing that in the face of such firepower, there seemed to be only some sporadic and inaccurate counterattacks, the attacking landing team determined that this battle should not be too risky, and they all charged the defenders who had just hastily built the simplest barracks.

What many people didn't expect this time was a violent explosion, just when the crowd was just approaching the target but fifty or sixty paces, it suddenly erupted with billowing smoke and dust, and the raindrops of lead bullets also accurately covered the vast area within the distance of two hundred steps and the last thirty paces at this time. Fortunately, only about 1,000 people attacked and attacked, which controlled the scale of the losses to a large extent, but even so, the attacking team suffered five or six hundred casualties.

After the fierce blow of this blasting defense, although the strength of the Dongying soldiers who came ashore was dozens of times, they lost the courage to attack in a very short time, and the general who led the team had to order to temporarily disperse through the woods to hide for a while.

It was only after about a quarter of an hour that there seemed to be no movement, and some people began to propose whether to launch a tentative attack with a smaller team, a looser formation, with the help of the woods on the shore, to once again probe the reality of the other side.

However, at this very moment, accurate and fierce arrows rained down from all directions, and it seemed that more than three hundred archers had fired their bows and arrows, and it seemed that in a very short period of time they had killed or wounded five or six hundred people again. The landing team is indeed the elite of many places in the state, and when they continue to suffer about a percentage of casualties and losses, there still seems to be no sign of collapse, but when the people who continue to launch fire counterattacks find that the vast majority of firearms firing at a distance of about thirty or forty steps also seem to have no critical effect on the opponent's shield, the morale also collapses at this time, if it is not for the fact that the entire team is in a desperate situation in this situation, I am afraid that it will collapse at the moment.

"Now it's either death here! Either choose to break out! Rush! The shogunate commander in charge of the command also ordered at this time. Although there was no condition or time to carefully transmit the message through the liaison soldiers and flags, when the shouts of killing began to sound to the north, and the whole team began to break through and attack towards the woods to the north, the whole team also began to move at this time.

Woodlands are supposed to be largely good for melee classes and not good for projectile classes, but this dogma that suits normal situations doesn't apply at this point, as opponents seem to be clearly trained in this area.

As if they had been prepared, the raging fire quickly burned out, and formed a wall of fire on the entire shore in a short time, and when the smoke gradually dissipated, it was more than 700 marines stationed on the shore who first launched an attack on the three or four thousand encircled enemies, and the first to fire were the twenty-four 200 close-range light guns that had not been exposed before, and when the light shotguns were fired, thirty or forty thousand light shotguns were violently fired out in just a minute or so. Such a heavy fire did not seem to stop in the first place, but lasted for three or four minutes with the fastest burst of fire before the attacking infantry launched a final attack under the cover of the grenadiers.

In the face of a desperate situation, in the end, there were still many elite samurai who were not completely intimidated like the others, but launched a counterattack, but at this time, the equipment and training of both sides were no longer at the same level. Although the iron cannons with six or seven money projectiles were a great improvement over the early iron cannons, and there were second-level Nanban armor that could threaten at close range, it seemed that the threat ability of the attacking marines was greatly reduced from the plate armor and even shields equipped with them.
