Outside the town of Beipo, the Flying Tiger Army has been prepared. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the hillside to the south, all twelve Furlong guns were ready. The Shenwu General Heavy Cannon has also been loaded.

The left team of 700 musketeers also lined up in three columns on the hillside.

The 2,000 sword and axe men of the right team formed a formation at the bottom of the mountain.

Everything is ready, just wait for the widows!

Chen Di and Watanabe Muraichi, Tang Shunzhi, and Qi Jiguang stood on the hillside. Yu Dayou personally led the right team of swords and axes to fight at the bottom of the hillside.

There were several vultures hovering in the sky. It was as if they had expected that the battlefield would be a river of blood in a moment. At that point, they can have a full meal.

On the battlefield, the silence is terrifying.

"Beep~~~" A loud bang pierced the silence of the battlefield.

Watanabe Murakazu explained to Chen Di: "My lord, that's the sound of Inoue Shiro's conch. ”

On the horizon, a stream of yellow dust was born. The yellow dust moved slowly from east to west, towards the position of the Flying Tiger Army.

Huang Chen was getting closer and closer, and everyone on the hillside finally saw clearly that the army of Japanese robbers had entered the battlefield.

Chen Di secretly scolded in his heart, and some half-hung historians in later generations said that the battle during the Warring States period of the Japanese State was like a fight between village chiefs. That's not the case at all today!

The army of Japanese robbers in front of him is as neat as a tofu block.

The four thousand spears in front were divided into four squares. Rulin's spear reflected countless dazzling lights in the sunlight. The two squares that followed closely behind were the two thousand-strong infantry teams. At the front of the infantry was a line of men with shields in their hands, moving slowly behind the speared ashigaru.

Further back, there were two thousand-man iron cannon squadrons and two thousand-man archery squadrons.

The Japanese army came to a halt a mile away from the Flying Tigers.

Chen Di asked Tang Shunzhi: "Did the musketeers and archers of the Japanese invaders come into the range of our Fran cannons?" ”

Tang Shunzhi shook his head: "The Fran cannon can't reach this group of widows. The Shenwu General cannon can bombard them! ”

Chen Di nodded: "Then give them a head drink!" ”

The gunners of the left team of the Flying Tiger Army lit the cannon of the Great General Shenwu.

The Shenwu General Cannon was a 5,000-pound heavy cannon, and there was a loud "boom", and the solid cannonballs flew towards the Japanese Kou.

Chen Di looked over and saw that the cannonball had cut through a blood groove in the dense array of Japanese invaders. He visually estimated that this cannon would send dozens of Japanese robbers back to their hometowns.

The Shenwu General Cannon is a front-loading cannon, and after a cannon, it is necessary to reload the cannonball with a stick of incense.

But the Japanese army did not panic. A thousand-man light squad attacked forward first. The others stood still. It seems that Inoue Shiro is sending this thousand-person ashigaru team to explore the way and feel the strength of the Flying Tiger Army.

This thousand-man ashibashi team walked neatly and slowly in the direction of the left team of sword and axe men led by Yu Dayou.

Finally, the 1,000-man light team moved within range of the Fran cannons.

Chen Di gave an order: "Open the gun!" ”

Twelve Furlong cannons roared, firing twelve iron-hulled flowering shells.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Twelve iron-hulled flowering shells exploded in the phalanx of the Thousand Foot Light Brigade. Hundreds of pirates were blown to pieces.

The remaining 900 pirates continued to advance.

The shells used in the Furlong cannon are sub-mother-in-law shells, and the iron-shelled flowering shells are wrapped in the sub-guns, which are extremely fast to reload.

Moments later, the Furlong guns began a second round of shelling.

After two rounds of shelling, the 1,000-man light squad had already suffered heavy casualties. There were two "beep~beep" sounds on the battlefield.

Watanabe Muraichi explained to Chen Di: "My lord, the sound of two war conches is a signal to retreat. This thousand-man ashigashi is about to start retreating! ”

As Watanabe Mura said, the advancing Ashigaru team heard the sound of a conch and began to retreat.

"Withdraw? Which is so easy? Chen Di said.

The third round of shelling began: "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

There were originally more than 1,000 people in this phalanx of the ashigaru team, but now there are only seven or eight hundred people left. The seven or eight hundred men quickly ran and retreated to the rear.

By the time the Furlong cannon was reloaded, the 1,000-man light squad had escaped from the gun's range.

On the other side of the battlefield, Inoue Shishiro said to a short and fat general: "The infantry of the Ming army is in front of us, only 2,000 people, and it poses no threat to us. It seems that our real threat lies on the southern slopes. There is a large number of artillery pieces of the Ming army there! ”

The Humpty Dumpty general replied, "Give me two thousand-man ashigaru and an iron artillery team, and I'll take that hillside!" ”

Inoue Shiro shook his head: "Don't underestimate the enemy!" Since you want to fight, let's attack all of them! I personally led two thousand-man ashigaru troops, one thousand-man infantry team, one thousand-man iron artillery team, and one thousand-man archery team to attack the southern slopes. The remaining half of the army is led by you and attacks the Ming infantry directly ahead! ”

On the battlefield, the sound of war snails was loud, and the yellow dust rose again.

Chen Di saw that the Japanese army was divided into two directions. Half of the would-be robbers headed in the direction of Yu Dayou's Eight Array of Iron Bucket Kings. The other half headed towards the hillside.

The 5,000 Japanese soldiers led by Inoue Shiro changed their position as soon as they came within the range of the Fran artillery. The spears are no longer marching in a neat array. They scattered and rushed towards the hillside.

A thousand infantry regiments, iron artillery units, and archery corps advanced slowly.

It seems that Inoue Shiro is planning to use two thousand spears as cannon fodder to consume the ammunition of the Flying Tiger Army. When the twelve Fran cannons ran out of ammunition, they used the fire team and the archery team to suppress the Flying Tigers on the hillside for a while. Finally the infantry rushed up the hillside to harvest the crops.

Two thousand spears howled and rushed desperately towards the hillside. Most of these people were peasants from the Wa Kingdom. They are used as cannon fodder. There was an order from above, and they could only attack desperately. Because once they escaped, the iron artillery and archery behind them would not hesitate to fire at them.

In the face of this group of locust-like spears, Chen Di did not relent.

Twelve Fran guns bombarded in turn. One by one, the iron-clad flowering bullets landed among the spearmen.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The spearmen besieging the hillside did not dare to retreat, although they suffered heavy casualties. Finally, they rushed within range of the Flying Tiger Musketeers.

The 700 guns were divided into three columns, and they were fired in a three-stage pattern towards the 2,000 spears and ashigaru.

The dense barrage pressed towards the two thousand spears, and the two thousand spears couldn't raise their heads.

It didn't feel like a war, it looked like a massacre. The round-robin bombardment of the Furlong guns and guns killed and wounded most of the 2,000 spears.

Inoue Shishiro was not distressed. The spear is light, it was originally used as cannon fodder.

While the Flying Tigers were slaughtering the pike-foot-light troops, the Japanese infantry, iron artillery teams, and archery teams were also cautiously approaching the hillside.

A crisis is quietly coming.
