Although the effective killing and wounding of the Jingai 1 arquebus is 55 meters away, compared with the previous Qing army bird gun, the 30-meter distance of the Ming three-eyed gun is more than 20 meters, but the flight distance of the bullet is more than 100 meters, and the lethality of the stray bullet of the smoothbore gun is greater than that of the salvo bullet, especially in this kind of intensive charging troops, almost the recruits can hit people with their eyes closed.

So the first to rush to the range of more than 1,000 Japanese servants, almost everyone was wounded, dead and wounded five or six hundred, but there were cannons in the rear, there were enemy bullets in front, their families were in the hands of the Chinese army in the Huaxia Kingdom, for the sake of their families, they still moved forward, more than 2,000 people rushed to the range of 100 meters, and after indiscriminately firing a row of guns at the Japanese army, they continued to get up and charge, this row of guns also made the Japanese dead and wounded fifty or sixty people, after all, a salvo of two thousand people, although the distance was uneven, But the stray bullet still found its target very safely, and taught the recruits who stood up and shot in the Japanese trenches a lesson.

Combined with the remaining 3 or 400 firepower of the 1,000 men who rushed into 100 meters before, the Japanese army suffered 156 casualties this time, which was also the first time that the Japanese servant soldiers set a record and got rid of the one-sided slaughter.

After the 2,000 men had finished firing a shot, they stopped to reload, and the other 2,000 Japanese troops who arrived later continued to charge, and there were almost 6,000 soldiers and horses running hard at a distance of 300 meters behind.

Seeing that the people in front of him were killing in a dark sky and filled with smoke, Brother Zhu said to the herald soldiers beside him: "Send out the more than 10,000 Southeast Asian indigenous servant soldiers who attacked on the first day, enter the front-line trenches, and hand over the command to the division commander Kong Youxing." Put the second wave of Japanese 10,000 on standby. ”

Then he continued to wait and see.

At this time, more than 3,000 Japanese servants had reached the line of fire at a distance of 100 meters, and the beloved arquebuses they held in their hands could hit 75 to 88 meters away.

The casualties of the Japanese army increased, the wind was a little strong today, and the smoke of gunpowder was finally blown away in less than ten seconds, and in the faint smoke, there were three or four hundred servants approaching the enemy's defense line thirty meters away, a salvo, they lost more than 200 people on one side, and more than 100 people fell there, and then they jumped into the Japanese trenches with their arquebuses loaded with bayonets, and white-knuckle fighting became the main mode of combat.

The rear forces continued to move forward, more than 1,000 people jumped into the trenches, the Japanese army was in chaos, and the trenches of nearly 300 meters fell into a white-knuckle fight.

However, the Japanese army also has artillery support on the wall of Kyoto Prefecture, although it is a solid bullet, but it also has a great lethality to the charging servant brigade, nearly 2,000 servant soldiers were hit by the artillery and lost their combat effectiveness, lying on the way to charge, these soldiers did not even run over the 300-meter line of fire and all fell, in fact, the Japanese servant army of 10,000 people, about 5,000 soldiers and horses rushed to the 100-meter line of fire, and used firepower to suppress and kill the defenders in the Japanese trenches.

According to preliminary estimates, about 2,000 Japanese troops were killed by muskets, but the trenches garrisoned by the Japanese army were circular, with a lot of troops, at least 20,000 troops, and there were more than 10,000 troops in this section alone.

Although the Japanese army suffered a lot of casualties, it is estimated that there are more than 1,000 people, but the enemy's defense line still has not been able to break through, at least, the rear forces are unsustainable, the slave soldiers of the indigenous people of Southeast Asia have just set off from the 1,000-meter front, and it will take a few minutes to reach the 500-meter defense line, and there is artillery support from the Japanese in the middle, but the Huaxia army did not give them artillery support.

It takes at least six minutes for the servant soldiers to run to the Japanese defense line, and the Japanese servant army is now less than 3,000 troops fighting, and a section of the trench has been occupied, but the Japanese soldiers from both sides of the trench are still in a steady stream, and hundreds of people are unable to hold the trench, so the 3,000 Japanese servant soldiers in the rear who suppress the firepower continue to rush forward and enter the trench in an attempt to hold this section of the battle.

It took five minutes for the natives of Southeast Asia to reach the 500-meter defense line, jumped into the trench, and actually didn't rush to the front to help the Japanese servant soldiers, Brother Zhu was laughed at by these fools, and Kong Youxing was obviously even more annoyed, all the six-pounder shells fired flower shells to blow them up, at this time they had to cringe and rush out, only to run a hundred meters away, as soon as the Japanese cannon fodder came, they retreated into the trench, cowered inside and shot indiscriminately in front.

Brother Zhu closed his eyes and said to the herald beside him: "Order 20,000 Japanese servant soldiers to set off, and tell them that either they will go up in person, or I will kill all the Southeast Asian servant soldiers in the front-line trenches." These guys who only know how to eat. ”

After receiving the order, from departure to arrival at the defense line, it took about ten minutes for the Japanese servants, and at this time, the Japanese servants on the front line occupied a trench of 300 meters, and resisted the siege of the Japanese army with only 2,000 troops and ten soldiers, and suffered heavy casualties, that is to say, the 10,000 Japanese servants were exhausted.

The indigenous soldiers of Southeast Asia still cowered and fired indiscriminately at a distance of 500 meters, not knowing what they could hit.

Some people actually lost their heads and fired at Kong Youxing's rear, Kong Youxing replied that they joined the fire bombardment of the nine-pounder cannon, which caused them to lose more than 1,000 people at once, and these guys couldn't even hide in the trenches, so they jumped up and ran around.

Seeing the reinforcements of 20,000 Japanese servants, Kong Youxing called the captain of the 20,000-strong team, yelled, and then waved his hand, the 20,000 Japanese servant soldiers were red-eyed, roared, and the whole army charged, braving the Japanese artillery fire to rush to the 500-meter trench where the Southeast Asian servant soldiers were located, and it took less than three minutes to rush there. They were greeted by a volley of nearly 8,000 Japanese servants, which once caused Southeast Asian servants to drop nearly 3,000 corpses again.

This time the frying pan was blown, some of them jumped out of the trenches and rushed to the enemy, some rushed to the two wings, and there were many people who rushed to the two wings, but they were all blocked by the garrison brigade with artillery and firepower, ran back, and were killed by the Japanese servants, and in less than five minutes, nearly 10,000 corpses of Southeast Asian natives lay near the first-line trenches and in the trenches.

The Japanese servant soldiers did not go into the trenches to clean the corpses at all, and a dozen captains and squadron leaders, squad leaders met, and then everyone continued to rush to the front line.

The charge of 20,000 people, the Japanese side trembled with fear, and the previous servant soldiers had more than 1,000 dead and wounded, still holding a 100-meter trench to fight the Japanese army.

The Japanese troops in the trenches on both sides were flooded like flowing water, their defense line was precarious, 20,000 Japanese servants killed in front of the formation, fired a volley, and then attacked in turn, and soon 5,000 soldiers and horses jumped into the trenches and participated in the fight, and the other Japanese servants spread out to the two wings, braving the enemy's support artillery fire to suppress the enemy's fire, and then rushed to the front of the trench to put a row, and then jumped in one after another.

At this time, the Japanese army could not stand it, so they threw away their guns and fled, and fled to the second-line battlefield, which was only 500 meters away from the city wall, which was more conducive to the artillery play and support on the city wall.

Of the 8,000 or so men who fled, the Japanese left about 12,000 corpses and wounded in the first-line trenches, and the Japanese servants finally occupied the enemy's first-line trenches, which were 1,200 meters away from the enemy's city walls, which was the best distance for the enemy's artillery support.

Brother Zhu did not order them to counterattack the enemy's second-line trenches, their task was completed.

The result was 13,000 dead and 10,000 natives of Southeast Asia.

exchanging more than 20,000 losses for more than 12,000 losses of the enemy, this battle obviously suffered a loss, but Brother Zhu was very satisfied with the results.

It was only nine o'clock in the morning, and by noon he hoped to take the last line of enemy trenches, and then advance to the enemy's city.

After taking a sip of water, the herald told him that the 7,000 native servants of Southeast Asia supported by the Chinese island government had arrived in Osaka, and the 10,000 Japanese young men gathered by Osaka were already on their way.

The 20,000 Southeast Asian natives supported by the Xinlu and Chugoku prefectures, as well as 10,000 Japanese servants, could not reach Kobe by ship in the afternoon and the front line in the evening.

"Order the bravest Japanese servant soldiers fighting on the front line to withdraw, let them send me the captured enemy arquebuses here, and then use these to arm the Southeast Asian indigenous servants, since they are afraid of death, let them die faster, the next round of counterattacks, the Japanese servant army will be the overseer in the back, let the remaining 13,000 Southeast Asian indigenous servant soldiers, if they can't seize the enemy's position, let the Japanese servant soldiers kill them."

The herald looked at the somewhat strong black tea and felt that it contained the blood of the Japanese and the indigenous people of Southeast Asia.

But he didn't dare to say anything, in the Kingdom of China, the elimination of the natives of Southeast Asia, the Japanese natives, and the elimination of all alien races that were not Han Chinese, that is, the people who dared to sympathize with the lightest went to the prisoner camp, almost went to the hard labor camp, and finally incorporated into the Japanese servant soldiers to be cannon fodder.

He didn't want to be cannon fodder, he was a peasant from northern Shaanxi who came from the side of the Dashun Army, and it was hard work to be able to climb to the side of the lieutenant general commander of the corps headquarters as a herald, he didn't want to let himself become cannon fodder, let alone his family to become a second-class citizen of the Huaxia Kingdom, or even worse.

Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleared, those wounded Japanese servants and those brave Japanese warriors who should be commended were withdrawn, about 5,000 people, Kong Youxing personally lectured them three miles in the rear, and then praised them, and then let them take them to the rear to rest, for them their battle was over, they were the backbone of the Japanese servant soldiers in the future.
