After several months of intense construction, the four castles in Shandong were finally completed, and Li Jiantai, who was in the middle of Hebei's river, also carried out the disarmament of the elite army system with the help of Shandong's military reform ideas. The original remaining 7,000 soldiers plus the various guard posts made a total of 39,000 soldiers in each prefecture, and after the disarmament, there were still 7,000 elite soldiers.

Li Jiantai also learned from Shandong's example, and used the super spear on the battlefield again, and issued a crossbow and a strong bow. Soldiers conduct assault training. There is a non-leap improvement in quality. Almost Li Long's soldiers can be on an equal footing. The Hejian soldiers have become another strong force after the Shandong soldiers.

There are 7,000 strong troops, and 70,000 enemies can be defeated in wartime. Now Liu Shupei, the general who stayed behind in Shandong, only has 5,000 troops, but his combat strength is equivalent to the strength of 70,000 troops. Everyone was issued a smoothbore gun and a bayonet made of stainless steel. Well trained and well equipped.

On the second day after Li Long led his troops to attack the Japanese mainland, Xu Guangqi hurriedly came to the Yamen of the General Army, but unfortunately Li Long had already set off, and a large package brought by Xu Guangqi could not be opened. On the third day, Xu Guangqi went to Liu Shupei, the left-behind staff general, and told him what had happened.

It turned out that Xu Guangqi had successfully studied how to build plate armor, and the first batch of 500 sets of plate armor had been built, just waiting for Li Long to come to check, but unfortunately he didn't see it when he went on the expedition. Liu Shupei took the lead and looked at these excellent plate armors, and asked Xu Guangqi: "Old Xu, have these plates been tested for their sturdiness and how much do they weigh?" ”

Xu Guangqi said confidently: "The old man has already found someone to test it, the strong bow can't be broken, and the hard crossbow can't be pierced."

Liu Shupei was quite happy and asked: "There is such a thing, if it is a spear pierced on it?"

Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "I didn't make it clear to the strange little old man, the spear and the long sword were pierced, but they still couldn't be pierced." The only thing that can break the plate armor is the smoothbore gun used by our army. ”

Liu Shupei asked: "That is to say, in the Ming Dynasty, except for the smoothbore guns we imported from Europa, there is nothing to break the plate armor......

Xu Guangqi said: "Yes, it's just a little heavier, the full set weighs forty pounds, and the soldiers who wear the plate armor are super heavy infantry, Li Zongbing talked to someone last month, saying that when the research is successful, the soldiers who use the plate armor must be given a good name, the name Li Zongbing has already given, called the walking feudal knight"

Liu Shupei was very puzzled about what the name was, but as long as it was given by Li Long, it must be a good name, so he didn't ask much.

Xu Guangqi continued: "General Soldier Li said that this first batch of walking feudal knights will be trained by you, and you will only be given a month and a half to train, and you will not be until September when the General Soldier comes back and says that it will be September." When the time comes, there will be a bad battle to be fought."

Liu Shupei was puzzled: "Is there still a bad battle?" ”

Xu Guangqi said: "I heard that the Qing soldiers are going to enter the customs in September. Master Li also said it from a merchant from Liaodong, and the facts are still confirmed. ”

Liu Shupei didn't say anything about this, so he resigned to Xu Guangqi, saying that the task of training walking feudal knights was relatively heavy, so he wouldn't talk much. After saying that, he rushed to the barracks and selected five hundred of the strongest soldiers, all of whom were changed into plate armor. But it is training to run with weights. Praise not to mention how Liu Shupei went to train feudal knights on foot.

Let's just say that when Wang Zheng was researching generators, he created a device that could fire rapidly, which was like a wooden box with 64 small holes on it. Shoot the good ammunition into the box, which can be fired continuously. Wang Zheng found that this could be used as a weapon. told Liu Shupei about the matter, and Liu Shubao expressed great admiration after seeing this box, and asked Wang Zheng to make a hundred units first. I tried it out and found that it was very powerful, and it could hit the old city wall of Qingzhou in a minute, and if it hit people, what minute...... It can well be imagined...... (This is the oldest rocket artillery)

Wang Zheng gave him a name, called Shenji Arrow. I hope he can be as famous as the Shenji Battalion in the capital.

The west coast of the Sea of Japan. A mighty armada was heading at full speed in the direction of Kyoto, and was also attacked by several small Japanese naval forces on the way, but they were all wiped out by our powerful firepower.

The secret posts arranged by the Japanese army on the sea had discovered that the Ming army's fleet was approaching Honshu, and the news reached Kyoto, and the Japanese government and the opposition were shaken. Emperor Koji urgently summoned Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Sekihaku in Osaka to discuss countermeasures. Osaka and Kyoto are 100 kilometers away by water. When the secret sentinel reported that an enemy fleet was approaching, the Ming Armada had already shelled Tottori Castle, and after Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan, the sphere of influence of each daimyo was reduced to a minimum, and Tottori Castle was under the control of the Niko family. The 3,000 defenders of Tottori Castle counterattacked the Ming artillery bombardment on the castle tower, but the Ming army did not land, and fired tens of thousands of shells with thousands of artillery, bombarding the large city of Tottori to the ground, and I don't know how many dead and wounded. The western side of Tottori Castle's walls collapsed, thousands of Japanese corpses were scattered all over the ground, smoke billowed from the city, and I don't know how many houses were blown up and how many military camps were razed to the ground.

When the Ming Armada attacked Tottori Castle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi led 30,000 ashigaru (sword ashigaru and spear ashigaru), 10,000 mounted sergeants (cavalry), 3,000 pheasant monk cavalry, 10,000 heavy infantry, and 5,000 arquebus (iron cannon) infantry, a total of 58,000 men and horses from the waterway. When the emperor learned that this huge fleet of seas was from the Ming Kingdom, he paid more attention to it. At the same time, Tokugawa Ieyasu gave a holy decree. After Tokugawa Ieyasu was defeated by Oda Nobunaga, he garrisoned Nagano and Yagami Castle and Kunohe Castle. Most of Tokugawa's forces were controlled by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Therefore, after receiving the emperor's holy decree, Tokugawa Ieyasu also led 200 Tokugawa battlefield ninjas, 1,000 samurai, and 2,000 monks to Kyoto. Unfortunately, Tokugawa Ieyasu is too far from Kyoto, and there is no waterway to Kyoto, so it is expected that the Tokugawa family will not be able to feel it until five days later

At the same time, he also received the holy decree of Mori Motosei, he is the third son of the great warlord Mori Motojo, after the defeat and death of Mori Motojo, Mori Motonari inherited the position of the daimyo, commanding most of the Japanese navy, after he received the holy decree, he also ordered 50 Japanese maru warships, 10 Maori Japanese ships, 30 Maori medium-sized warships from the sea out of Yamaguchi Castle, straight to Kyoto, because most of the heavy warships were brought to the Korean battlefield, so the Maori family can only raise so many small and medium-sized warships.

In this way, the main armed forces of the whole of Japan have basically been mobilized, originally Sekibai Toyotomi Hideyoshi recruited 500,000 Japanese soldiers to attack Korea, but now 150,000 Japanese troops are caught in the quagmire of the Korean battlefield, Toyotomi Hideyoshi also ordered the transfer of 30,000 reinforcements to Korea a few days ago, but the next day received a war report that 30,000 Japanese reinforcements had just left Nagasaki less than 50 miles before they were attacked by a mysterious fleet, and the Japanese samurai who fled back reported that the enemy's fire was very fierce and the artillery bombardment was intensive, There are countless iron cannons. Our army lost most of its losses before it could get close to the enemy fleet, and as a result, under the command of Fujita-kun and Takeda-kun, it was counterattacked, but when it came to the enemy fleet, it was found that the enemy's warships were all tall and large, and the Japanese could not climb onto the enemy battlefield for hand-to-hand combat, and the huge waves splashed after the shelling also made the Japanese gunpowder resurgence, and the iron cannon became scrap metal, and the Japanese troops who used bows and arrows were also relaxed because the bowstrings saw the water, and they could not fire bows and arrows. Only the Iron Crossbow can perform sporadic counterattacks. But it was hit hard by the enemy's iron artillery. The battle lasted more than two hours, and finally the Japanese retreated under the command of Fujita-kun and Takeda-kun, but they were still scattered by artillery fire, and less than 1,000 men were recovered. It can be said that the whole army has been wiped out.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi arrived in Kyoto, the ninja investigation found that the fleet attacked by Nagasaki was the Akira Armada, equipped with 160 Portuguese-made red-coated cannons, 840 Spanish-made (heavy cannon) Franco cannons, and hundreds of small Franco cannons. There were "50,000" soldiers on board, and this was because the Japanese ninjas could not get close to the Ming Armada to check it, so they relied on their own estimates to calculate. There were 10,000 soldiers on the deck, so there must have been 30,000 or 40,000 in the cabin, so when the ninja came back, he reported that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had 50,000 troops coming.

When the news reached the ears of the Japanese emperor, Hongji was suddenly frightened and summoned Toyotomi Hideyoshi to discuss countermeasures.

When he learned that Toyotomi Hideyoshi led an army of 58,000 men to help, he was a little relieved. In addition, the Malay newspaper reported that Tokugawa Ieyasu's 3,000 reinforcements were also on the way, and they would arrive in five days.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi mobilized the people of Kyoto, Kasuga Yama Castle, Tanba Yu Castle, Nijo Castle, Irie Castle, Saga Castle, Tajima Castle, Hyogo Castle, and all the residents came to help in the war, a total of 1.9 million people rushed to Kyoto, according to some data, the total population of Japan was about 7 million before and after the Onin War in the late 15th century, and the population of Japan was more than 12 million on the eve of the Battle of Sekigahara in the early 17th century.

According to military policy, the population of 12 million Japanese is divided into the elderly, children, youth, prime, and young children. There are men and women. That is to say, Japan has only 1.5 million young and middle-aged laborers, and even if the most terrifying ratio of two to one is calculated, it would be good if Japan could mobilize 750,000 soldiers at most. Now there are 150,000 trapped in Korea, 30,000 wiped out by the Armada on the sea, and the 500,000 soldiers mobilized by Toyotomi Hideyoshi for the first time are to fight Korea, and now 150,000 in Korea are removed, and 30,000 are eliminated. There were still 320,000 soldiers and horses. More than 200,000 of them were assembled in Nagasaki, and the distance from Nagasaki to Kyoto made it impossible to return to the aid quickly. Only Osaka's 100,000-strong standing army could enter the war. 1.5 million people were mobilized to help build the fortifications. 、

Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent shogun Shimazu Yoshihiro to lead 20,000 ashigaru, 5,000 cavalry, and 2,000 iron artillery to Tango Castle to defend, and he led the rest of the soldiers to defend Kyoto Castle, and ordered 42,000 people stationed in Osaka to transfer 40,000 to Kyoto to participate in the battle, and Kuaima also went to Nagasaki, preparing to transfer 100,000 troops from Nagasaki to Kyoto to participate in the war if Tango Castle fell.

When the Ming Invincible Armada came to the sea area of Tango, the sky had turned white, and the entire Tango City was brightly lit, Li Long went up to the watchtower of the treasure ship No. 1 and used binoculars to watch Tango Castle, only to see that the Acropolis of Tango Castle had thousands of Japanese troops on guard. Generally in ancient times, coastal cities were built relatively close to the land, in order to prevent the enemy from being in a passive situation when attacking the city from the sea, but in order to prevent the enemy from landing, the acropolis would be built near the sea. Kyoto is the political center of Japan, the military center, is the place where the emperor of Japan lived, so the Tango Castle located on the west coast of Kyoto was built particularly strong, not only the walls of Tango Castle are high, but also there are three acropolis. Now there are thousands of soldiers defending the Acropolis. Li Long could see clearly with a telescope that the three acropolises of Tango Castle were one mile apart and were in a position of horns, and if one of the acropolis was stormed, it would inevitably be supported by the fire of two acropolis. There are three small cannons on the tower of the acropolis, which are placed on top of the tower, and the soldiers standing guard on the tower are also armed with strong bows and iron cannons, looking on guard.

At this time, some Japanese guards spotted the approaching giant fleet with monoculars and hurriedly issued a warning. Shimazu Yoshihiro boarded the command of the Acropolis, only to see that the entire ocean was densely packed with warships, each warship had a pair of dragons on the flagpole, the soldiers were wearing inner infrared black cloaks, and the head of the tallest giant warship was holding a hand pointing to the acropolis in the middle.

Suddenly, the sound of huge shelling shocked the heavens and the earth, and the treasure ships No. 1 and No. 2, the galleons, and the Daifuku ships opened fire on the Acropolis of Tango, and for a while the bullets rained down, and the black cannonballs burned with raging fire violently hit the walls and arrow towers of the Acropolis, and then the second round of shelling began, and the Acropolis in the south and the Acropolis in the north were also shelled at the same time.

The captains of the warships commanded their warships to storm the Acropolis of Tango Castle in Japan, and dozens of rapid fire bombs crashed into the walls of the Acropolis like meteors outside the sky, and the not too thick walls collapsed violently.

Because Japan believed that the Ming Kingdom would not attack Japan regardless of the dignity of a great power, it did not attach so much importance to the defense around Kyoto. During the Yuan Dynasty, Genghis Khan crossed the sea twice to conquer Japan, but was attacked by typhoons without success, and Korea attacked Japan twice during the Kamakura shogunate, but it was also because of typhoons that were unsuccessful. So Japan thought that their great Japanese empire was blessed by this divine wind, and no one could fight Japan at all, only Japan could invade foreign countries, and foreign countries could not hit Japan. So Xiang Tango Castle is such an important place, but he doesn't even pay attention to it, and the walls of the Acropolis are thinner than paper. Only two rounds of shelling completely broke the walls of the Acropolis. Thousands of Japanese soldiers defending the city walls were either killed by shells or fell to their deaths after the walls collapsed. I have to admire that the Japanese spirit of bushido is indeed powerful, and under the command of Shimazu Yoshihiro, the remaining soldiers retreated to the inner city for defense.

The Japanese artillery, which did not return fire, was attacked by the sudden fire of the Ming army, two of the three cannons were dumb, and only one cannon fired sporadically at the Ming fleet.

The firing range of the small cannon was only more than 200 meters, but the Ming Invincible Armada opened fire at a distance of 400 meters, and the Japanese small cannon found that the shells had fallen in the sea 200 meters away from the Ming fleet after several shots, so Shimazu Yoshihiro ordered to stop firing and carry the remaining cannon to the east of the Acropolis for redeployment.

After the artillery bombardment of the Ming warships, the three Japanese acropolises were quickly paralyzed, and Shimazu Yoshihiro led the remaining more than 10,000 people to retreat to the inner city defense. The distance from the inner castle to the outer castle is 55 meters, and it was built according to the specifications of Oda Nobunaga to build the castle of Kiriyama Castle, the outer castle is a castle wall and turret, and once the outer castle is destroyed and the fortifications are lost, the defense can be withdrawn to the inner castle. The view of the outer city and the inner city is a residential area, with countless obstacles such as private houses and farmland. Once the defenders retreat to the inner city, the attackers will inevitably attack the outer city, and then fight in the narrow residential area, and the dense residential houses will become an obstacle to the speed of the advance, and the artillery fire on the inner city tower will constantly greet those who enter the outer city.

Li Long saw this knowledge from the Internet as early as the 21st century, after all, the fortress in the inner and outer city was not invented by Japan, it was the Dutch who invented this fortress. It was then inherited by Denmark and eventually spread throughout Europe.

"Stop firing" Li Long ordered his treasure ship No. 1 and treasure ship No. 2. Seeing that the main ship had stopped firing, the other battlefields also ordered their own shelling to stop.

These Japanese bastards want to continue to resist in such a narrow place, and if they land, they will cause great casualties to our army, and if they do not land, what is the point of attacking Japan. "Yes, we must conquer Tango Castle, if these two acropolises can't be broken, how can we conquer Kyoto, Decree Banner. All troops landed! ”

The flag soldiers quickly issued an order to each warship with two triangular red flags, and the commander-in-chief wanted the army to land and fight.

The Qingzhou battleship was commanded by General Zhang Chengzhang, and there were five medium-sized Fuzhou ships carrying troops under his battleship, so he immediately ordered: "Leave 50 people on the Qingzhou, and everyone else will land on small boats, and bring 10 Franc machine guns" Qingzhou landed 250 people, plus the medium-sized Fuzhou ship under the Qingzhou sent 400 people to participate in the landing operation.

Laizhou, Dengzhou,,,,,, Wuding. The warships abandoned the Armada and boarded small ships to land in Japan. And the personnel who remained on the battleship acted as cover.

Li Long also led 650 people, with 10 cannons, stepped on the boat, dozens of people slid the boat, dozens of people were on guard, and quickly came to Japan. At this time, Shimazu Yoshihiro saw through a telescope from the lookout hole in the inner city that the Daming fleet had abandoned the big ship and was landing with the ship. He immediately ordered: "Samurai, the army of the Ming Kingdom is landing in our Great Japanese Empire in small boats, for the sake of the Emperor and for Japan. Sortie. The valiant Japanese samurai will destroy this enemy who dares to invade our great Japan in the water that has landed."

Five or six thousand spears and bows, noble warriors, and iron gunners rushed out of the three acropolises together, shouting the slogan of Fen Xun and killing to the sea.

The small boat used for the landing was a small boat that could only carry a dozen people in a minute, and none of the ships had weapons, ammunition and Franc machine guns, and the draft line of the normal water level was pressed down to nearly one meter, and it was impossible to fire the guns on the small boat

After Zhang Cheng saw the flag issued by Li Long, he was sweating profusely, and replied in the flag language: "Lord Commander, if you fire artillery on the shore at will, the south side will cause accidental injury to our army, so it is better to retreat to the deep sea first and shoot with naval guns."

Li Long understood what Zhang Cheng meant, the accuracy of artillery in this era is too poor, and it is normal for it to deviate by more than ten meters, even if the power of black powder is not great, but a single shot can kill more than a dozen people. If you land under artillery fire, you will be injured by mistake. However, if we do not land now and slide back, it will inevitably cause the fanatical Japanese iron artillery behind to pursue, and it is better to continue to rush forward than to retreat passively. Coupled with the cover of artillery fire, as long as a beachhead is established on the shore, the army can continue to come up. So Li Long replied to the flag and insisted on shelling.

And the large Francophone driver on the battleship, the red-clothed gunner, was a little hesitant in his heart, after all, the small boat that rushed to the first place was the boat of the chief soldier, what if the first shot hit him?

Seeing that the Japanese soldiers were about to approach the coast, and the guns on the battleship had not yet been fired, Li Long continued to issue a flag and urged: "Quickly fire the red-coated cannons, the big Buddha cannons, and those who violate the order will be killed."

Under such a threat, in less than a minute, a deafening shelling was heard, and hundreds of shells were fired at the Japanese soldiers on the beach with vengeful fury, but many shells still fell in the sea and simply did not hit their own boat. And the gunners on the big ships sweated with every shot fired. for fear of hitting his own people. There is nothing wrong with the slow work, the gunners on the big ships carefully adjusted the angles of the guns in order not to hit their brothers, and as a result, after the third round of shelling, much less fell into the water.

After the third round of firing of the red gunners on the treasure ship, the gunners immediately took Zhan Hao's wet cloth and covered the barrel with Zhan Hao's good water, so that the barrel could be quickly cooled down, and at the same time, the cleaner used a mop tied with cloth strips to reach into the barrel of the gun, quickly clean the residue of gunpowder burning in the chamber, and after cleaning the chamber, the gunpowder hand came up to fill the gunpowder, and then compacted it and put in a shell. Taking off the wet cloth, the igniter aimed in the direction and ignited the lead, only to see the lead burning with a trace of gunpowder burning towards the gun chamber, only to hear a loud "bang", and the whole treasure ship shook three times.

The cannon carrying the power of ten thousand troops is discharged and the air accelerates, and the speed of 700 meters per second is instantly reached to kill the Japanese troops on the seaside, because the Japanese guns are generally densely arranged to fight against the cavalry, so they are still lined up in such a dense formation when charging, and the deadly shells directly hit the dense Japanese army.

The sand suddenly splattered on the beach, accompanied by countless screams, followed by countless severed hands and feet falling from the sky, and occasionally the heads of a few samurai. The entire fleet of red-coated cannons of the 4,000-pound level is equipped with more than 160 guns, but unfortunately only one side of the warship can be fired at the battlefield, and the other side cannot play a role and is not fired. However, the bombardment of more than 80 red-coated cannons, with the help of hundreds of large Franc machine guns at home, suddenly hit the Japanese troops on the shore screaming again and again. Eyeballs, heads, arms, thighs, intestines flew everywhere. The entire beach was blown up into Shura Hell in three minutes.

In three minutes, three minutes of shelling, the Japanese troops who rushed up were retreating one after another, and the landing boats began to dock one by one.

The artillery fire did not stop because of the success of the landing, and the Japanese did not stop attacking because of the fierceness of the artillery fire, but rushed forward more ferociously, greeting them with hot shells, each of which took the lives of more than a dozen people.

More and more soldiers landed successfully, including General Zhang Cheng, garrison Wang Guangfu, and General Li Long. The battlefield is full of brothers, there is no distinction between high and low, Li Long is not exceptional, the first thing after landing is to pick up a shovel and with the cooperation of a soldier, and load the cloth bag with soil. Li Long's physical strength is very good, and he works very quickly, filling a bag of sand and dirt in three strokes and five divided by two. Then he carried the sand to the side of the ground, braving the bows and arrows of the Japanese ashigaru archers to continue loading the earth.

In less than five minutes, a simple fortification made of earthen bags was built, but it cost the lives of thirty or forty soldiers. The bodies of the dead soldiers were full of bows and arrows, and many of them were covered in holes from the iron cannons. Appalling.

While directing his crossbowmen and smoothbore gunners to shoot, the Ming army officers led other soldiers to dig trenches, and the flying sand blocked the sight of the Japanese attack on the one hand, and on the other hand, they piled their own fortifications higher and stronger, and the trenches were dug one meter deeper. Smoothbore gunners, crossbowmen and spearmen jumped into the trenches to shoot at the Japanese. Dozens of small and medium-sized Francophone guns brought by the landing were also erected on the position made of sandbags, and they emitted anger that had been suppressed for a long time.

With the shots of the crossbowmen and smoothbore gunners, and the help of artillery, the enemy who had rushed to a distance of only a dozen meters from the position was suddenly beaten back. Shimazu Yoshihiro led his troops with a katana in his hand and rushed forward when he was fifty meters from the position. A dense stream of bows, crossbows, muskets, artillery beckoned them at the same time. The Japanese soldiers fell one by one, and those who were still alive continued to rush forward on the corpses of their dead comrades.

The dense sound of smoothbore gunfire was like firecrackers, and the bullets were fired at the rushing samurai like a storm, and the bows and arrows of the Japanese army became scarcer and scarcer, and now only a few scattered people remained. And Li Long gradually discovered that the Japanese army that continued to attack was only the noble samurai, and Ashigaru could not see any of them.

The battle lasted all day, the Japanese army stopped the attack, and retreated to the city to garrison, and the Ming army was tired after a whole day of fighting, Li Long ordered a team of 100 people to go to the battlefield to pick up all the crossbow arrows that were shot out and use them again, and the bullets and projectiles that could be seen were taken back, and they couldn't find it. Artillery shells are a reusable weapon, especially solid shells. The soldiers also carried it back basket by basket.

Another 7,000 soldiers landed on Japanese land, and after a day of fighting, they lost more than 60 men and wounded more than 200 others. Fortunately, there was no hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese army, otherwise the losses would have been serious.

That night, several small boats came from the large battleships, bringing with them forty or fifty wooden boxes. The outside of the box is made of three iron hoops, which are unusually strong, and after prying open the box, you can see that there are five delicate and shiny new firecrackers inside, and the bottom of the box is also padded with a concise version of the manual, there are no words on it, only illustrations, even illiterate soldiers can operate this new firecracker according to the instructions. This is the thunderbolt developed by Xu Guangqi's staff member Zhao Shijiao, after a day of bloody battles during the day, Li Long found that these devils were very heroic and not afraid of death. If the Japanese army is coming tomorrow for reinforcements of tens of thousands of people, it will not be possible to occupy Kyoto with our mere 7,000 people, so Li Long remembered Zhao Shijiao's thunderbolt before going to sea. Thunderbolt is a multi-barreled arquebus created by Zhao Shizhen, a firearms expert in the Ming Dynasty, absorbing the advantages of bird guns and three-eyed guns, the gun is equipped with five guns, each shot turns 72 degrees after the other tube is fired, and the front end of the gun body can shoot fireballs to burn the enemy soldiers. The barrel is equipped with a medallion as a shield, and the axe that supports the barrel can also be used for defense after firing. However, there is no record of the use of the Thunderbolt on the battlefield. Although this is an outstanding invention, it also has disadvantages that cannot be overcome as an arquebus. The structure of the Thunderbolt is complex, the operation is time-consuming, and it is difficult to form a battle formation in a short time during combat. And it was quite cumbersome to reload after firing the five guns. Due to the variety of accessories available for combat (firebolts, fireballs in the barrel, axes for brackets, spikes at the end of the barrels can also be used as spears), soldiers are often in a state of "selection overload". Therefore, it is difficult for the Thunderbolt to be put into the battlefield, and it is even more difficult to form an army. The Thunderbolt is a single multi-barreled firearm, also known as a multi-barreled rifled gun, referring to similar firearms in Turkey, the largest can reach 18 barrels, using a fire rope or flint to fire, plus the outer cover after the shape of a lute. After firing, it can be used as a cold weapon. With a length of 187 centimeters and a weight of 2.5 kilograms, it was easy to carry and use, and the Ming army often lined up to kneel and shoot, and the fire did not stop. In Korea, the Japanese musketeers could not stand head-on against such a Ming army.

But this time, after Zhao Shijiao brought a sample of the Thunderbolt, Li Long told Zhao Shijiao about these shortcomings, hoping to improve it, Zhao Shijiao didn't sleep all night after going back, and studied it all night, and finally this new type of Thunderbolt came out.

This new type of thunderbolt uses a whole load of bullets, that is to say, the bullet is also specially made, and ordinary smoothbore guns are different, the new type of thunderbolt is not directly loaded with gunpowder, the bullet he uses is a kind of ammunition wrapped with gunpowder in hard paper, with a water barrier inside, and then put in yellow phosphorus, and add water to the yellow phosphorus. Yellow phosphorus can be stored in water or kerosene, but if it sees air, it will burn immediately, this new type of thunderbolt uses the principle of yellow phosphorus, breaking the water when firing, allowing air to enter, and then the burning yellow phosphorus will ignite the gunpowder, and the burning gunpowder will produce great kinetic energy, and quickly shoot out the projectile installed on the head of the paper bullet.

The new Thunderbolt has a fast rate of fire and a fast reload rate, which can be very effective in killing and injuring enemies on the battlefield where the enemy is attacking intensively. In order to prevent the Thunderbolt from overheating the gun tube due to the high firing speed and causing the explosion of the chamber, Zhao Shijiao specially installed a sealed iron Zhao on the outside of the gun tube, which can be filled with water when it is fired again. Cooling in the form of water cooling. (The originator of Maxim)

In addition to the firecracker box, there is also an ammunition box full of bullets, the outside is also with an iron hoop, inside is a bullet wrapped in wax paper, a small package of every twelve rounds, can be directly pressed in the magazine of this new type of firecracker, the wooden box is marked with black paint The name of the firecracker, Academician Zhao Shijiao of the Shandong Academy of Science and Technology supervised the production of the Thunderbolt, and the tubular spring magazine hidden in the bolt can be loaded with 20 bullets, and the firepower is stronger than the original state-of-the-art runner five consecutive rounds.

Li Long also got the thunderbolt for the first time, he couldn't put it down and played with this sharp weapon, walnut butt, brass receiver, stainless steel barrel, and sharp bayonet, the whole body shines with the brilliance of civilization, the bolt can be loaded with twenty fixed 0.3-inch caliber bullets, every time you pull the pressure lever under the trigger retainer, you can quickly withdraw the shell and load the bullet, the action is done in one go, extremely fast, and the range and power are very good, so it was named the thunderbolt by the pedants of the Military Industry Department of the Ministry of War, but it is also worthy of the name.

The news of the Japanese attack was rude to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who asked Toyotomi Hideyoshi to reinforce Shimazu, but there were less than 30,000 horses in Kyoto City. In desperation, Toyotomi Hideyoshi only urged Nagasaki to quickly send 100,000 reinforcements to the rescue, and at the same time sent 20,000 horses from the Kyoto garrison, led by Hattori Hanzo, to Tango Castle overnight. Tango Castle and Kyoto are close at hand, and an hour's rapid march Hattori Hanzo and 20,000 elite soldiers rushed to Tango Castle.
