Chapter 554: Countermeasures (Page 1/1)

Tokugawa then ordered everyone to be on guard against pirate attacks, etc.

It wasn't until everyone had left that a smile appeared on Tokugawa Tadanaga's face. Edo Bay was attacked by surprise, and how could it be possible to resist the winner with only 5,000 Japanese soldiers in the city.

In particular, Edowan also lost more than 1,000 soldiers, so it became a top priority to directly lead troops from all sides.

Tokugawa Tadanaga did not repel the pirates in the first battle of Edo Bay, and he felt that he had to plan for the future.

The soldiers in Edowan were all diehards of his nephew, and it was impossible for him to obey the orders of his Tokugawa Tadadanaga.

So Tokugawa Tadanaga made up his mind to let Tokugawa Iemitsu's soldiers fight the pirates, and he was bringing in troops loyal to him from outside.

As long as his strategy can succeed, he will be able to garrison Edo with a heavy army when Tokugawa Iemitsu returns.

It would have been even more perfect if Tokugawa Iemitsu had learned that Edo Castle had been attacked, and he had hastily withdrawn his troops and been defeated by Samosa.

At that time, he might be able to get his nephew to give way to him, and Tokugawa Tadanaga, who thought it was feasible, immediately ordered soldiers to be mobilized to help in the battle in Edo.

……

In the dark night, the dock is still as bright as day, and various lanterns and torches illuminate the dock that is busy unloading ships.

Especially on the two tall warships docked at the dock, there are two pillars of light scanning back and forth. It's like the eyes of the demon god in the dark night watching the docks, so that the Japanese who want to sneak up on the sneak attack have nowhere to hide.

Tao Lei looked out from the bunker of the trench, and he was really relieved by such a rudimentary defense. Just three barbed wire fences can stop the widows? He kept questioning in his heart!

Suddenly! The bell rang throughout the docks, and the sound of "Enemy attack!" The shout sounded, and he kicked Ma Jingbo, who was sleeping, and said, "The widows are coming up, let the brothers get ready!" ”

"Ahh Ma Jingbo hurriedly ran out to get the soldiers in the trenches up and prepare for battle.

In the distance, where the "Divine Eye" scanned, the figure of the Japanese appeared. At first, these Japanese people were lying on the ground, wanting to get close to the Changxing army and sneak attack in one fell swoop.

But before they could get closer, they were illuminated by the "Divine Eye", and the helpless Japanese could only stand up and rush to the Changxing army.

Sato Konzo pulled out his sword and swung it forward vigorously. The mouth shouted even louder: "Charge! ”

The Changxing army in the trenches sorted out their equipment one by one and put their weapons in a convenient place for them. Tao Lei even ordered the artillery not to fire first, and to put the Japanese closer before fighting.

Soon the Japanese entered a distance of sixty paces, and the guns of the Changxing army opened fire instantly. The firelight flickered incessantly in the night, and lead bullets hit the charging widows.

Soon Sato Konzo discovered that the Hōheung's shells did not have a high hit rate in the dark, and they were not very dense. Although his own casualties were heavy, he was still within the acceptable range.

He immediately ordered: "Rush forward!" Hurry up! It's time to serve His Majesty the Emperor for the sake of the Lord's family! ”

Under his orders, the Japanese samurai Ashigaru charged forward desperately. But they soon ran into trouble, with several barbed wire fences in front of them.

In the dark of the night, the barbed wire fence is simply inconspicuous. For the widows, who are also malnourished, it is not easy to find the barbed wire.

Many soldiers crashed headlong, and the chest-high barbed wire was dented by the Japanese people, but it had no intention of breaking.

The barbed wire instantly wrapped the people who hit it on it, and even if someone wanted to rescue them, they couldn't pull it open for a while.

The spikes on the barbed wire pierced deep into the flesh, and the pain made the widows hanging on it howl miserably! The Japanese people behind were stunned by the scene in front of them, and they stopped one after another, for fear of following in the footsteps of their predecessors.

The Changxing army in the trenches did not expect that just a barbed wire fence would block the enemy's attack, and at this time, what are you waiting for if you don't hurry up and beat the water dogs.

The fire flickered in the trenches, and buckshot kept hitting the Japanese behind the barbed wire. Many Japanese people were shot and fell to the ground, which made the Japanese feel even more frightened.

The Japanese could no longer remember any allegiance to the head of the family, the emperor, or anything, so they turned around and fled. Sato Konzo, who was supervising the battle in the rear, widened his eyes, he never thought that a small wire would make the brave Japanese retreat.

He cut down more than a dozen ashigaru in a row in the rear of the team to stop the rout, and as soon as he counted the number of defeated troops, more than 300 people fell in front of the position of the Changxing army.

Sato was furious, and he took the initiative to ask for battle and made a military order. Now he has lost one-fifth of his manpower before he gets close to the enemy, which makes Sato Konzo how willing.

While he was organizing the attack, people in the trenches of the Changxing Army continued to shoot sporadic bullets at the Japanese who were hanging on the barbed wire.

What made Konzo Sato most angry was that the hateful pirates were not killing their own men with firearms at all, but deliberately hitting them in places that were not lethal. Then there was a burst of laughter, which stopped in his ears like an awl stuck in his head.

Konzo Sato yelled at the remaining Ashigaru samurai, "You have lost the face of the Tokugawa family and the face of the great shogun. The Tokugawa family will not want a group of cowardly and timid people, if the next attack does not wash away the shame on you. The Great General will surely take back the land allotted to you, and then you will have nothing left! ”

This time, the samurai ashigaru were a little moved, as they directly served the shogunate, and they were much better than the Japanese people in other places. At least they can eat enough and don't have to worry about making a living.

When they heard that they were going to reclaim the land, they all changed color. They could die in battle and not accept such an outcome, all gasping and staring at the enemy in the distance.

Sato Konzo nodded with satisfaction and said, "This time I will attack with you, and if I take a step back, then please cut off my head." Please, everybody! May the Lord's family prosper in martial arts! Sato Konzo bowed deeply to his men and turned to prepare for the attack.

When the Japanese rushed up again, Ma Jingbo was no longer as worried as he was at the beginning. He didn't expect that the small barbed wire would be able to block the enemy's attacks, and allow them to shoot and kill the Japanese through the barbed wire.

At this moment, he looked at the soldier holding the firearm with some envy, and when he looked down at the short gun in his hand, he was speechless for a while.

When it comes to charging and breaking the enemy, Ma Jingbo admits that he has never lost to others, but as soon as he picks up the firecracker, he misses the target. Even holding the immortal gun in his hand is also a virtue, and he doesn't know where the lead bullet will fly.

Depressed, he could only be by Tao Lei's side and reload Tao Lei's ammunition. watched Tao Lei kill the Japanese one by one, and his eyes showed a strong look of envy.

This time, Sato Konzo specially organized nearly 100 Japanese people who were not afraid of death, and they would take on the heavy task of breaking through the barbed wire fence of the Changxing Army.
