Chapter 612: Is This a War? (Page 1/1)

Atsugi was a little surprised by the large number of Japanese people here, and he thought that the Tokugawa shogunate might harass the Jianbi Kiyono along the way, making it difficult for the Chokoko army to supply, and then fight the Nagako army to the death under Edo Castle.

But what does the decisive battle under Atsugi Castle mean? Could it be that the arrogant Japanese people thought that with more than 10,000 samurai ashigaru, they could stop the footsteps of the Changxing army?

Atsugi Castle Okubo Tadashi called Sakai Hanagi and said, "Sakai-kun! Atsugi Castle will be handed over to you, and please be sure to destroy the pirates and not let them set foot in Atsugi Castle for half a step! ”

"Hey! Sakai will definitely do his best to wipe out the pirates outside Atsugi Castle! Sakai immediately replied loudly.

Okubo patted Sakai Hanaki on the shoulder and said, "So! Please! Then he turned and left.

Sakai Hanaki had the feeling that a soldier was dying for his confidant, and he bowed to the back of Okubo's loyal duty and said, "I am willing to die for the Lord's family, if I can't eliminate the pirates, Sakai will never come back alive!" ”

Okubo was slightly stunned by Sakai's words, and then left with a firm step. As he left, he said in a voice that only he could hear, "It's a pity ......"

The next day, as soon as the Nagako army had breakfast, the Japanese people of Atsugi Castle began to line up in front of the formation. A group of more than 10,000 Japanese warriors stood in line and began to shout for the Changxing army, which surprised the Changxing army.

I didn't expect the Japanese people to give up the strong city wall to fight the Changxing army in the field, which was exactly the result that the Changxing army couldn't ask for.

If more than 10,000 Japanese people hid within the city wall, the Changxing army would probably have to work hard. Street fighting was the last thing the Changxing army wanted to see when it had superior weapons, but now the Japanese took the initiative to seek war, but it was the outcome that the Changxing army wanted to see the most.

Zhang Dou decided to fight immediately, and since the Japanese people in Atsugi Castle were looking for death, he didn't mind sending them away.

The response of the Changxing Army made Sakai Hanaki very happy, this was the first time he commanded a battle of more than 10,000 people, and the whole person was in a state of excitement.

Although he had heard of the ferocity of pirates, he felt that the number of pirates was already doubled, so what reason was there to be afraid?

Seeing the formation of the pirates, the Japanese iron gunners immediately led the line to the front, followed by the spearmen, and finally the archers.

The battle formation he discharged was decent, according to the iron cannon against the iron cannon. Then he used bamboo spearmen to stalemate with the opponent, and finally used more than 2,000 archers behind the team to kill and injure the pirates.

But the important point he overlooked was the range of the iron cannon. The iron cannon of the Japanese people is not as good as the old-fashioned arquebus, just like the Ming firecracker. The only advantage is that it rarely explodes, and it can't hit far at all, and it's exactly like a melee weapon.

And the Changsheng gun in the hands of the Jangheung Army is different, at this time, the newly made rifled fire gun in the Jeju Island craftsman's workshop. Equipped with easy-to-reload paper-shell Minie shells, the firing range reached an exaggerated 100 steps.

There are some accurate marksmen who can hit targets at a distance of 150 paces, and in this era sniper rifles existed completely.

Even a recruit who has been training for two months can easily hit the eye of a hundred paces, compared to the iron cannon in the hands of the Japanese people, it is the difference between Barrett and the old sleeve.

Ma Jingbo was now beside the soldiers in the front row, and he was still a little uncomfortable with the immortal gun in his hand. For a man like him, who was born as a spear and shield soldier, the Immortal Gun was just a short spear.

For the Changxing Army to cancel the gun and shield soldiers, he is the most complaining one. In his opinion, a real man should be heroic in resisting the enemy's attack.

But his personal power is really limited, and what he says can't change anything. The position of spear and shield soldier has been abolished in its entirety, except in a few armies.

He, the captain of the hundreds, was promoted to the level of the captain of the thousand because of his outstanding achievements. The second time he sent troops to attack Edo, Ma Jingbo once again became the commander of the front row.

I saw that he was carrying an immortal gun with a bayonet on his back, a steel knife in one hand and a short gun in the other, and shouted loudly to the soldiers in the first row: "Steady! Stabilize it all for Lao Tzu! ”

The enemy was getting closer and closer, and the Japanese iron gunners in the front row had already entered a distance of 100 paces, and Ma Jingbo did not give the order to open fire.

Standing beside him was a recruit, who was on the battlefield for the first time. Feeling the tense atmosphere before the big war, sweat broke out on my forehead unconsciously. The saliva in his mouth was even more frantically secreted, and he kept swallowing saliva.

Ma Jingbo looked at the recruits beside him and said in a low voice: "You kid haven't seen the world, when Lao Tzu was holding a fire gun in his hand that could explode at any time, he rushed to twenty steps in Jiannu before firing. After the fight, you have to round the fire gun and Jiannu to fight hard, that's called excitement! ”

The recruits couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard Ma Jingbo's words. Twenty paces away, isn't that a fire hammer on Jiannu's head? What would that look like? When I think of that kind of scene, I feel that the Japanese people in front of me are nothing!

Seeing that the recruit's mood had recovered a little, a smile appeared on Ma Jingbo's face. As for the fact that he replaced the protagonist of the story Tao Lei told him with himself, he selectively forgot about it.

When the Japanese iron gunners approached eighty paces, Ma Jingbo began to give a loud order: "Raise the gun!" ~Aim~ Fire! ”

As the order to open fire was given, hundreds of guns in the front row fired a scorching plumb bullet. The conical lead chamber with a strong rotation was faster and flew more stable.

The cork at the back of the buckshot was ignited by gunpowder instantly, propping the tail of the buckshot open and sticking tightly to the chamber.

Good air tightness gives the buckshot more power, and the lead bullet can travel much farther than the old-fashioned flintlock firebolt.

The marching Japanese gunners were completely unaware of this, and they thought that the pirates' iron cannons needed to be fired at close range, just like their own.

The Japanese who were completely unprepared were instantly knocked down, and the Japanese iron gunners, who were originally moving forward in a neat manner, fell down in an instant.

The team of Japanese people at the front was like a bite of a big pie, missing a large piece. The Japanese who were still marching forward with high spirits just now were suddenly stunned.

Before they could react, the Changxing musketeers began to shoot continuously. The team of Japanese people, who had suffered such a blow for the first time, suddenly became chaotic, and some people shouted that they wanted to rush forward desperately.

Others turned around and ran, only to crash into their companions. There are also many people who are scared stupid and are now at a loss......

At the same time as the fire was fired continuously, there was a burst of artillery fire from the rear of the Changxing army formation. The ten early sun cannons let out a roar, firing heavy shells towards the densest place of the Japanese people.

Kaki Sakai, who was at the back of the team, was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him, he pointed to the front not far ahead, and muttered to himself, "This is a war?" ”
