Jiaxing Fucheng is only 100 miles away from Jiashan County. The 10,000 troops of the www.biquge.info dog cattle road can be killed in Jiashan within a day or two.

Chen Di discussed with Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang how to fight the next battle.

Tang Shunzhi was the first to speak: "Jiashan City has a strong city wall, with the sharp firearms in our hands, relying on the city wall defense must be impregnable!" “

Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang also agreed.

Yu Dayou said: "The question is, what if the Japanese invaders surround and don't fight? The ammunition and grain we shipped from Suzhou have not yet been on the road. You know, there is not much food in Jiashan City! ”

Chen Di said: "The Japanese in Jiaxing City are elite, and they must be equipped with a large number of Fulong machine guns. If they bombard the city, we will definitely have losses! There are only more than 1,000 people in the Flying Tiger Army, and they can't withstand attrition! My opinion is, dig a trench in front of the city gates! Trenches were used to hide from the artillery fire of the pirates. Within thirty paces, the Japanese will definitely stop the shelling for fear of accidentally injuring their own people, and when the time comes, we will hit the opponent with grenades and leech crossbows! Second Brother Yu, you immediately lead the soldiers to dig a trench outside the city gate! “

Yu Dayou received the order and took a thousand Flying Tiger gunners to dig a trench outside the city gate. Three hundred gunners set up artillery on top of the city walls.

There were more than 2,000 surviving people in Jiashan City, and Chen Di gave them a part of the military rations. After the people had their fill, they helped the Flying Tigers dig trenches outside the city.

The trench designed by Chen Di was two feet wide and three feet high. Two ladder-like steps were dug into the trench. This is the best way to evade the artillery bombardment of the Japanese Korf Rang at the moment.

A day later, the trench was dug up. Only four hours later, an army of 10,000 people from the dog cattle road arrived in the city!

Chen Di and Tang Shunzhi stood on top of the city and took charge of the overall situation. Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang led a thousand firecrackers to meet the enemy under the city.

Chen Di looked at it, and the 10,000-strong army of dog cattle was indeed in a neat formation.

The former army of the Japanese was more than 4,000 cannon fodder. Hundreds of them carried siege ladders. Behind were more than 3,000 elite samurai. Behind them were a thousand archers and more than a thousand iron gunners. At the back, there are fifty Furlong guns.

The Japanese formed a neat battle formation and began to advance towards Jiashan City.

Tang Shunzhi asked Chen Di: "The Japanese have already entered the range of the Franco fast artillery, do you open artillery bombardment?" ”

Chen Di shook his head: "If the enemy artillery doesn't move, we won't move either!" ”

It's a little strange for the dog to ride on a war horse. He didn't understand why there was a long trench at the gate of the city. There seemed to be a lot of Ming soldiers standing in the trenches. This was the first time he had seen such a strange method of warfare.

Forget it, no matter what tactics he has! The 10,000 people in their hands are all elite! Even Ashigaru is a veteran who has fought several times in his country. With ten to one, the dog breeds and is confident that he can wipe out the Flying Tiger Army, and cut off that Chen Di's head to make a wine glass!

More than 4,000 cannon fodder rushed in the direction of Jiashan City with a howl. The samurai, musketeers, and archers of the 3,000 infantry marched slowly behind.

The dog breeder ordered the Franz machine to fire quickly. The furlong cannons of the Woko fired solid shells. Cannonballs whizzed towards the walls.

Chen Di ordered the artillery battalion to fire back!

The Flying Tigers' Furlong cannons are all loaded with iron-shelled flowering shells! The back half of the paper-shell shell is wrapped in a propellant pack, and the front is an iron-shelled flowering shell. And the artillery of the Flying Tiger Army has another advantage, that is, condescending!

"Boom. Rumble. Boom", the artillery of both sides began to bombard.

The charging Japanese were light, and soon they were only more than thirty steps away from the trench of the Flying Tiger Army.

In order to prevent the artillery from accidentally injuring its own people, the dog cattle road ordered to stop the shelling.

Chen Di, for his part, also ordered to stop the shelling.

Jiashan City is right in front of the Wako Ashigaru. Ashigaru, who rushed to the front, looked excited. You must know that the dog raised cattle before the order, the first person to climb the head of Jiashan City will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver. Five hundred taels of silver was enough for him to live a prosperous life in his own country. Just when this ashigaru was sitting and dreaming of making a fortune, in the trench in front of him, more than a thousand soldiers with bows and crossbows suddenly drilled out!

At a distance of thirty paces, the power of the leech crossbow is deadly!

Yu Dayou gave an order: "Fire hand, release the leech crossbow!" ”

1,000 leech crossbows, and in a matter of moments, 6,000 crossbow arrows were shot at the charging Japanese ashigaru!

The rain of arrows composed of 6,000 crossbow arrows was like a curtain of death, covering the sky and the sun and rushing towards the ashigaru phalanx. Five or six hundred people died in an instant!

Yu Dayou ordered again: "All the firecrackers!" Throw grenades! ”

Hundreds of grenades flew towards the Wakoshigaru. "Boom, boom, boom." The ghosts of the Japanese ashigaru who were bombed cried wolf.

For the first time, the dog breeder saw a grenade, a weapon that was ahead of its time. He was shocked, did those Ming soldiers each bring a Furlong machine gun?

"Let the samurai of the infantry team stop advancing! Iron gunners and archers advance in phalanx! Bombard the Ming army under the city with iron cannons and bows and arrows! The dog commanded.

It was not a pity for the cannon fodder to die lightly, and he didn't want his elite infantry samurai to suffer unnecessary casualties. The combined number of archers and gunners was nearly 3,000, and such firepower was considerable even in a war between the daimyo of their own country.

Chen Di saw that the archers and iron gunners of the Japanese were advancing, and he decisively ordered: "The Franco fast cannon concentrates its fire and bombards their archers and iron gunners!" “

Tang Shunzhi obeyed the order and commanded the Francophone to fire quickly.

The artillery condescendingly bombarded the archers and iron gunners of the Japanese Kou, slowing down their advance.

By this time, the musketeers of the city had already built a line of defense against death with grenades! Any vain attempt to cross this line of defense will be blown to pieces!

The cannon fodder ashigaru began to waver, and they retreated in groups of three or five. The dog raised the animal road and immediately ordered the firecrackers to withstand the artillery fire of the Ming army at the head of the city and release the guns at the retreating Ashigaru!

Seeing that the cannon fodder ashigaru was also a death when they retreated, they simply turned around again and rushed towards the Flying Tiger Army!

In this battle of Jiashan, each soldier of the Flying Tiger Army only carried ten grenades and eighteen crossbow arrows. Yu Dayou's palms oozed sweat. There are fewer and fewer grenades in the hands of the soldiers, and once the Japanese in front of them rush through the defense line, these more than 1,000 soldiers will not be able to fight them hand-to-hand with their tiger guns! If you really enter hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army will suffer a big loss!

In addition, what Chen Di, Yu Dayou and others didn't expect was that the dog raised cattle and took out a terrifying weapon - the Shenwu General Cannon!

When Zhu Houjun was defeated and retreated to Suzhou, he abandoned all artillery. This 5,000-pound Shenmu General Cannon fell into the hands of Inoue Shishang. The dog raised the animal and liked it very much when he saw it, and exchanged thirty captive Zhejiang beauties and Inoue Shishiro for this cannon.

General Shenwu's cannon "boomed" and fired. The cannonballs hit the city directly. A huge solid cannonball smashed into a gun position next to Chen Di with arrows. The Fran cannon was smashed, and more than a dozen soldiers were crushed into meatloaf by the shells.
