Chapter 411: The Fallen Bushido Warrior Against Warrior
The cavalry of three hundred cavalry is already all the cavalry in Kamakura City, and they are still quite imposing when they run!
The samurai of the Hojo clan who followed them were jumping up and down, and they were even running fast!
When he was about to reach a distance where he could be projected, the Imperial Castle of Kamakura Castle saw a magical picture of Hojo Higashiji.
Six windows suddenly appeared under the board of the three-masted sea ship, and six pipes were also introduced------ใใใฏใชใใงใใ?!
Wow, Sacdesga?!
What is that?!
Unfortunately, he did not hear an answer, but he saw puffs of white smoke and fire coming out of the pipe of the window, and he did not even hear the roaring sound of the cannons, so he knew nothing.
Twenty-four bronze guns on the starboard side of the two three-masted battleships, and back to the deck bronze guns of the other three-masted battleships, the very bloody samurai who charged this time suffered heavy deaths.
The first round of shells were all shotguns, and because the range was extremely short, only a hundred meters, it was like carrying a cannon to the nose of the opponent.
That's why they don't need to leave people on the dock to defend for fear of injuring their own people by mistake.
It's a bit of a bully, and the Liuqiu Navy knows that the Japanese samurai still don't understand what the era of hot weapons is------ this time the lethality is too great.
Countless horses, parts of human organs and tissues flew into the air, and soon fell again, and then mixed together without distinguishing between you and me.
Then the gunners quickly reloaded for the last round------ during which the sailors on board were not willing to be lonely, and they opened fire on the samurai who were still standing!
The rest of the samurai may have been blinded, but this is not the battle they are used to in taking cities or raiding!
A few horses that had not been killed or wounded neighed, jumped on all fours, and immediately turned around and fled------ but the surviving samurai still charged forward with their swords in hand!
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"
At the beginning, the sporadic gunfire became more and more orderly, and those charging samurai didn't even notice that their companions were getting fewer and fewer?!
Yes!
The last samurai finally rushed to the side of the ship, his face covered in blood and unable to see his face, which was probably his companion's-------
In fact, the captain drew his short firearm and was waiting for him.
The last samurai shouted with a sword, and he did rush to the spot, but he didn't know where to go.
The side of the ship is more than three meters above the pier.
The captain pouted and shot at the samurai, and he couldn't hit it from a distance of more than ten meters.
The last samurai fell to the ground.
Captain Guo Beyu turned his head, he went to care about his marines.
He said: "The bravery of the enemy will always make us calmer------"
Ambassador Hou Dongfang glanced at him, took advantage of it and behaved well, very much in the style of my old Hou.
The gunners of the three-masted battleship were furious, and they tried their best to quickly reload the shells but there was no use.
They can't attack the ashigaru who are coming one after another, not to mention that they are all equipped with shotguns?!
Captain Guo Beyu issued an order at this time: "Let 023, 024 throw twenty centimeter solid bullets, and strive to disrupt the opponent's formation!" โ
The herald quickly went to inform the two five-masted warships that had been hemmed down by flag, and that the two of them were the closest to the beach, less than four hundred meters.
Firing at this distance is more frightening------- as long as you adjust the angle and don't injure your own people by mistake.
Some of the ashigaru soldiers who came one after another were regular soldiers, and many of the others were put together on the impromptu journey, and some of them were still farming or working just now, and they were pulled into the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Many of them didn't even put the battle flag behind their backs.
Captain Guo Beyu later figured out that there was a reason why the Japanese soldiers planted flags behind their backs.
As mentioned earlier, since the Kamakura Shogunate period, the emperor has always been a puppet, and the power of the shogun has also been vested in the ruling family.
Locally, they were almost divided into princes, but the small territory was divided into dozens of "states", and the rulers of these "states" were called "daimyo" or "guardian", that is, the overlords of one side, who had the personnel, finance, rule of law, and military power of their own territory, and had an independent army.
On the surface, they are all members of the ruling family, but they will fight with their neighbors every once in a while because of the interests of so-and-so.
It was too expensive to feed a large army on their own, and they basically used the peasants to fight the war.
Farmers usually plant rice and plough the fields, and in wartime it is light to grab a spear.
When the army fights, everyone knows that it is best to unify the armor in order, but as we all know, Japan in this era was very poor and extremely short of supplies, and it was almost an impossible task for the daimyo to equip every soldier with the same attire.
So, how to avoid your own knife slashing your own family in the melee?
As a result, the cheap, easy-to-identify "back flag" came into being, but due to the urgency of the military situation, those conscripted Ashigaru did not even have time to plant the military flag.
However, because they had to deal with pirates who had not appeared for decades, they were not too afraid, and like those hot-blooded dock workers, some of them only came with a stick.
Captain Guo Beyu saw that there were five or six hundred people planting flags behind the back of the ashigaru who rushed to the marines, and he even thought that they were all officers.
He exclaimed: "The Japanese army is really brave, and all the officers are leading the charge!" โ
In fact, he may have misunderstood, the reason why those Ashigaru bravely rushed to the Marines was mainly to avoid the three-masted ships on the dock!
They had never seen a big ship smoking, blazing, and making a loud noise!
I never thought that those samurai who they didn't dare to face would all die on the road!
Don't mess with the big ships------
The man who had been sent by Kamakura Castle's Imperial Castle Guardian Hojo Higashi-Nimon to lead the ashigaru men was truly terrified to rush at the pirates with short spears------ and they had turned all their fears into anger on the hateful blue and green pirates!
Rush, rush!
At this time, he heard a heavy rumbling sound on the sea, he turned his head to look, and saw more than a dozen balls, flying in his direction in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye------ fortunately, most of them flew over their heads, and a few hit the sea, setting off huge waves!
Only one ball seemed to roll into its own team------ and suddenly, the team was a little chaotic!
But fortunately, the blue and green pirates didn't take advantage of the chaos to attack, they were still standing in place, with their short spears in their hands as if waiting for them.
That subordinate knew that the other party might be waiting for work, but it was nothing!
He waved his sword, roared angrily, and took the lead in rushing forward!
