Chapter 125: Massacre
The Wako Ashigaru struggled forward against the dense guns of the Flying Tiger Army. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info rows of guns shot at them, and columns of pirates were shot and fell.
The Flying Tiger Arms Bearers are like killing machines. All they need to do now is reload, shoot, reload, shoot.
Qi Jiguang shouted the password and shouted that his voice was a little hoarse. The hoarse voice couldn't hide the excitement in his heart. Since he inherited his father's military position, he has never realized that it is so easy to kill the Japanese robbers. The Wako on the opposite side, in front of the Tiger Mighty Gun of the Flying Tiger Army, is simply a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered!
The pirates are starting to get a little overwhelmed. The speed of their charge was noticeably weakening.
At this time, four war conches sounded at the head of the city.
Among the Japanese pirates, the sound of the snail is the military order. The four conchs represent the order to charge with all their might.
Inoue Shishiro is a scheming among the Japanese robbers. He invented a series of punishments similar to those of the ancient Chinese method of sitting together. He organized every 10 pirates into a team, and each team elected a captain. If one member of the squad disobeys a military order during a battle, the other nine members of the squad will be killed!
Kurai Taro gave the order to charge with all his might. This group of robbers can only rush forward hard! These would-be pirates, no matter how ignorant, are not brainless pigs! They knew that as long as they rushed in front of the opposite group of Ming soldiers, they could slaughter this group of Ming soldiers who did not have any swords and guns! The best way to reduce your charge losses is to speed up your own charge!
The pirates stepped on the corpses of their dead companions, howling and rushing forward. Finally, they were only thirty paces away from the firecrackers on the other side.
Chen Di ordered Qi Jiguang: "Change the locust crossbow!" β
Qi Jiguang shouted the order: "All the firecrackers, change the locust crossbow!" Preparation! Aim! Shoot! β
The Grasshopper Trap crossbow is exquisitely constructed, and each crossbow is worth a revolver in later generations. Each crossbow can fire six bolts in a row, and 600 firebolts are 3,600 bolts! Three thousand six hundred crossbow arrows were fired by the Flying Tiger Army in an instant. It's a rain of arrows from hell!
The sky net formed by the rain of arrows sent hundreds of Japanese robbers back to their hometowns. Of the 5,000 widows, only more than 3,000 remained!
There are more than 3,000 pirates, and they are only thirty paces away from the six hundred firecrackers. The Grasshopper Trap Crossbow didn't have time for the second round of reloading.
Chen Di ordered Qi Jiguang: "Throw the grenade!" Fast! β
Qi Jiguang ordered in a loud voice: "All the firecrackers!" Light the grenade fuse! Ready, thrown! β
The grenade made by Chen Di asked Style Sun to put it bluntly is a miniature version of the iron-shelled flowering bullet. Six hundred musketeers are almost a small Furlong cannon that can be quickly reloaded. Six hundred grenades were thrown into the Japanese formation.
In the Japanese array, there is an obese Japanese bandit. He was desperately charging when suddenly, an iron lump fell from the sky and struck him in the head. He touched his head and wondered in his heart, what kind of weapon is this? When it hits the head, it only breaks a little skin.
He rubbed his head, and was about to continue the charge, when suddenly, the iron lump beside him made a loud explosion. He didn't have time to ponder the mystery of the iron lump, and he was blown to pieces!
Six hundred grenades were thrown at once, and the explosion was earth-shattering! The iron pieces of the grenade burst flew sideways in the Japanese formation, and the wolves were cried wolf by the explosion.
What's even more terrifying is that after the first round of explosions, there is immediately a second round of explosions!
Another 600 grenades fell into the Japanese formation in the midst of sparks. "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! β
After two rounds of grenades, thousands of people were killed!
Of the 5,000 pirates, there are now only more than 2,000 left.
Standing at the head of the castle, Taro Aoi was completely stunned by the sight in front of him. Without even touching a finger of the Ming army, three thousand people had already been killed! Where is this war! It's like a butcher slaughtering livestock!
Even if the five thousand ashigaru are farmers in their own country, their lives are not worth much. But the dog breeder handed over these 5,000 cannon fodder to him, and he definitely didn't want these 5,000 people to die worthless!
"Toot ~ Toot ~ " Two conch sounds sounded. This is a signal to retreat.
The two thousand would-be robbers retreated desperately.
Chen Di ordered Qi Jiguang to say: "Advance, pursue!! β
Qi Jiguang ordered: "All the fire guns, advance!" β
The two thousand pirates fled in the direction of the county seat, but they did not expect that the three hundred firecrackers led by Yu Dayou had already circled their flanks and rear.
Yu Dayou ordered: "Firecracker, reload the paper shell bullet!" Preparation! Put! β
The guns continued to fly towards the retreating piratesγγγγγ
By the time they fled back to the county seat, there were only about 1,500 of the 5,000 pirates left.
Taro Aoi ordered the remaining 1,500 Japanese to go to the county town tower to defend.
Chen Di expected that the remaining would-be would-be turtles with shrunken heads and shrink in Jiashan City. His goal is to wipe out this group of pirates. The Flying Tigers are limited in number and cannot afford casualties. The soldiers must not be allowed to storm the county seat. The city wall of Jiashan County is solid, and if it is attacked, the Flying Tiger Army will have casualties.
Tang Shunzhi seemed to see the entanglement in Chen Di's heart. He offered a plan: "Chen Butang, the lower officials have a plan, they can wipe out all the widows!" β
Chen Di said: "Teacher, please speak." β
Tang Shunzhi replied: "You can bombard the city head with a quick cannon." In addition, two firecrackers were sent to ambush six hundred firecrackers on the road leading from Jiashan County to Jiaxing Mansion. If the pirates could not stand the bombardment of the Fran guns, they would abandon the city, and at that time, our two musket battalions would intercept them, and the other would attack from behind. In this way, a flanking attack was formed against the Japanese invaders. β
Chen Di nodded approvingly: "This plan is very good! Let Yu Dayou take two firearm battalions to go around the back of Jiaxing City to intercept the Japanese invaders, and Qi Jiguang take a firearm battalion to attack from the front. As soon as Yu Dayou's fire battalion was in place, the artillery battalion immediately opened fire and bombarded the head of Jiashan City! β
Yu Dayou left with two fire guns. After about an hour, a soldier came to report: "Chen Butang, Commander Yu has entered the ambush position with two fire battalions. β
Qi Jiguang nodded: "Teacher Tang, it's up to you!" β
The Japanese on the top of the city enjoyed an hour of peace. Aoi Taro believes that this Ming army all uses firearms, although the plain field battle cannot take advantage of their own side, but if the other party wants to climb the city to attack, it is difficult to reach the sky! They must not take their guns as clubs and fight with their spears on the top of the city!
Taro Aoi plans to send an envoy to ask for help from the dog cattle in Jiaxing City. He is confident that as long as the elite army of the dog breeding road arrives, he will definitely be able to wipe out this thousand Ming army!
Aoi Taro was dreaming of his own sweet dream, and he suddenly found that the Ming army under the city had set up dozens of Furlong fast guns!
