Chapter 649: The cannon appears
As soon as the banner of the Fujiwara family waved, the flags of the Japanese troops from all walks of life also swayed, and the flying feet of the herald ran wildly in all directions. The 110,000 Japanese troops suddenly burst out into a tsunami-like roar, and the target was aimed at the Honglu Pavilion and pounced over!
Zhang Shijie saw that the Japanese army really came to send him to death as Cheng Yue expected, he smiled, raised his hand and shouted: "Long-range artillery preparationββ! β
A huge red flag was immediately waved, and Ali Hague on the hillside immediately issued an order: "Artillery ready - release!" β
The fuses of the five hundred naval guns and twenty siege guns on the hillside were all lit, and everyone covered their ears and turned sideways, ready for the shock of the cannons.
Almost at the same time, five hundred and twenty cannons spewed out long flames in unison, and a deafening roar resounded through the sky. The entire Akasaka Mountain shook violently, and the earth shook! The Japanese troops who were five miles away could clearly feel the tremendous power of the artillery from the trembling of the earth, and the Japanese troops who were charging frantically could not help but be overwhelmed with fright, and they all stopped.
Five hundred and twenty shells let out a sharp whistling sound, swept over the stunned Song army, the Yuan army, and the Goryeo army, and in the blink of an eye, the dense formation of the Japanese army, which was extremely thick on three sides, was smashed out of the flesh passages and big pits, and countless Japanese troops instantly turned into a mass of minced meat that was not human-shaped!
Due to the powerful impact of the shells, the Japanese troops on the trajectory of the shells were torn apart even if they touched one side, and almost none of them survived.
Zhang Gui and Chen Hang, who were standing on the top of the mountain, saw most clearly, almost in an instant, the swarthy shells fell from the sky, and the dense Japanese formation at the bottom of the mountain immediately appeared after the shells flew, and those gaps were all red!
Chen Hangyan screamed happily, clenched his fists and shouted, "Okayββ! Artillery is goodββ! β
It was also the first time that Zhang Gui had seen the spectacular scene of hundreds of cannons firing in a salvo. Dumbfounded, he said, "Oh my Godββ! No wonder the prince ordered all the armies to shrink back, and in this round of shelling alone, the Japanese would have to die at least a few thousand! It's so much easier than trying to do it! β
The Song army, Yuan army, and Goryeo army everywhere couldn't help but burst into thunderous cheers when they saw the power of the cannon so powerful!
More than 100,000 Japanese soldiers who were still menacing just now were stunned, and indescribable fear hung over their hearts - what kind of weapon is this?! How can the battle be fought?!
Only Shimazu was secretly happy, and he listened to the advice of Shimazu Kucho, who quietly sneaked back to his side. Leaving his army behind, although for some reason at the time, now it seems that it is equivalent to saving the Shimazu family!
Fujiwara Keishi, Hojo Somasa and others were shocked, and Fujiwara Keizo muttered to himself: "Is this Cheng Yuezhu's cannon?" It's amazing! β
Goro Hetian shouted: "This is Cheng Yue's ploy at all!" Let's get close and hit us! β
Jiro Ando yelled, "Don't talk about this yet! What now?! β
Hojo Somasa blurted out: "Withdraw? β
Fujiwara Keizi was furious and roared regardless of etiquette: "Nonsense, where to retreat?!" β
Hojo Somasa immediately stopped talking, unable to speak.
Fujiwara said loudly: "Don't panic! We fell for Cheng Yue's plan as soon as we were in a mess! β
Fujiwara Keiji echoed: "That's right! For today's plan, we should not retreat but advance! Cheng Yue's cannon shot so far. You can't defeat him without close combat! β
Fujiwara Keiji was woken up by Fujiwara Keishi, and he was overjoyed, looking at Fujiwara Keiji and saying, "Well said! Order it now! β
The order to attack was given again, and the Japanese army only gritted their teeth and moved forward again, and after taking a few steps, they heard the same loud bang again, and the same earth shaking!
Five hundred and twenty shells once again smashed the Japanese formation. The battlefield was littered with severed arms and crippled corpses, no matter how brave the Japanese were. Be scared too!
Seeing that the situation of the Japanese army was precarious, Fujiwara Jingzi stepped forward, held a long knife, slapped his horse out, and shouted: "Come with me, rush!" Behind him, the royal family and samurai were aroused by the heroism of Fujiwara Keishi. He also howled and followed. Fujiwara took the opportunity to lead the crowd to raise their swords and advance, making a lot of noise, and the eyes of the Japanese army became blood-red again, and they attacked again desperately!
Zhang Shijie laughed and said, "That's right." Those who are not afraid of death are coming! Boys, infantry artillery ready! Gunners prepare! β
The generals of Goryeo were enthusiastic when they saw it, and Jin Xin was so happy that he danced and shouted: "Kill! Kill! Kill! Damn the wokes, kill them all! β
Xia Yisun Zhengse said: "General Jin, you can't just rely on these guns!" The interval between their shots is still much longer than that of bows and arrows, and the barrels and barrels of guns are prone to overheating, so we can't fight for a long time, and in the end we still have to fight to the death with the Japanese. β
Jin Xin laughed and said, "What does it matter? It's happier than anything else to see the Japanese being beaten like this! β
Han Xiyu said, "Yes! And what are the Japanese desperately afraid of? I've been looking forward to this day for a long time! The prince will definitely be able to take revenge on us! β
Xia Yisun smiled slightly, turned around, and squatted next to an infantry gun he was responsible for, his eyes fixed on the Japanese army in front of him.
Zhang Shijie said something in his mouth: "Longing for the front, don't be so scattered, the denser the better, alas, why are you disobedient?" β
Jin Fangqing laughed and said, "The Japanese were so frightened by the cannons of the prince that they didn't dare to rush up as intensively as just now." β
Zhang Shijie sneered and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as they dare to rush up, it's enough for them to drink a pot!" β
As he spoke, the Japanese army had rushed forward and rushed forward again, and the roar of the cannon sounded again, which meant that thousands of Japanese soldiers had died unexpectedly, but the Japanese troops at the front were unmoved, and still rushed forward with all their strength holding the board.
Zhang Shijie grinned, immediately straightened his face again, and shouted: "Infantry artillery - release!" β
The thousands of infantry guns in front of the formation roared one after another, and each muzzle did not fire a single shell, but rapidly fired countless projectiles, forming a dense barrage and sweeping towards the Japanese army!
Before the Japanese army could react, countless projectiles smashed everything they could touch into a sieve!
The thousands of Japanese troops who rushed to the forefront suddenly turned into blood and fell to the ground, and they were killed by a volley of spearmen who were lucky enough not to be hit, and the fierce offensive of the Japanese army looked like child's play!
Fujiwara didn't have time to rush to the front, but instead picked up a life. He should have led his troops to attack next, but who could turn a blind eye to the tragic situation in front of him?
Fujiwara Keiji looked at the fallen Japanese army in disbelief - thousands of people, all the bravest elites, and they were gone?!
So far, the Japanese army has not even seen the face of the enemy, but there have been nearly 10,000 casualties! (To be continued.) )
