Chapter 147: Special Operations in the Seventeenth Century (7)
Behind the huge gap in the wall, it is miserable.
The nearest wooden barracks was directly torn off in half, and the remaining half of the house was full of white corpses and dying people, whether alive or dead, all of them were shocked and bleeding!
A little farther away, in the barracks, one of the wooden walls had collapsed, and half of the roof had collapsed, and the situation inside the house was unobstructed—a dozen naked Wakokushigaru were scrambling to get dressed and looking for a guy.
The huge explosive power of the black gun* powder gave a great shock to the guards, including Liu Zhongwen, and these future high-ranking generals were so impressed by the blasting that when they led the army to fight in the future, the blasting became their first choice for conquering the fortified fortress - Jeju City, Zhenjiang Fort, Cheongju City, Zunhua, and Gaizhou Wei.
The stunned was only a matter of a moment, under the leadership of Chu Fan, the nine people of the escort team brushed up the Lu Mi gun, and after a burst of gunfire, more than half of the half-collapsed barracks lay down - at a distance of about ten steps, the platoon guns exerted their greatest power.
There were also a few fish that slipped through the net and fell under the arrows of Liu Zhongwen and Zhao Hai - although the archery skills that were not collected the night before could not catch up with Liu Zhongwen, they were also good hands.
It only took a few breaths to clean up the barracks, and the rescue team didn't even go to see if there were any survivors, and then they took a big stride towards the prison more than 30 steps away - not that they were not worried about the way back, but that Chu Fan repeatedly emphasized before the operation that time was the key to the success or failure of this operation.
Even if the main force of the Sanjingtai battalion has been transferred, there is still a small team of 300 people guarding the prison, and if the rescue team does not move fast enough and delays here for too long, once it is entangled by this team, it will be the end of a regimental annihilation - the east gate of Nagasaki is only three miles away from here, and the time to return to reinforcement will not exceed half an hour!
So before the action, Chu Fan set the time to die - ten minutes!
Ten minutes after entering the gap, everyone must evacuate, regardless of whether or not the Golden Cross can be found!
The reason why it was set for ten minutes was the result of repeated discussions between Chu Fan and the rescue team - the huge explosion would definitely make the Ashigaru team ignorant for a while, but if they couldn't organize it after ten minutes, then this army would definitely not be the elite division of the Wa Kingdom.
Therefore, from the moment everyone entered the gap, they tensed their nerves, and even ran with extra strength, and it only took less than a minute from the gap to the door of the prison, so that the two iron cannons on the shoulders of the two ashigaru guards died under Liu Zhongwen's arrows before they could be removed.
After solving the guards, Shi Zhen and the two guys on the boat who were specially selected smashed the lock hanging on the cell door with a hammer, and after kicking the cell door open, the three of them immediately disappeared into the door.
At the same time, the convoy stood in two rows outside the door, the front row with guns on guard, and the back row as soon as they reloaded—although each man carried three Lumi guns, they had to be reloaded as long as they could, and the more firepower the better.
Liu Zhongwen and Zhao Hai stood at opposite ends of the line, holding half-bows on both sides of the musket team.
Chu Fan's judgment was correct, the explosion just now made the remaining ashigaru squad stunned, and when they looked through the small square in front of the prison, the doors of many barracks were opened, and the ashigaru who were sleeping in a daze came out to look, most of them were still naked, and after seeing the murderous guards in front of the prison door, they retracted back into the door with a loud shout.
There were a few stupid people who didn't wake up, they didn't care about wearing clothes, they tied a piece of crotch cloth around their waists, and they rushed up shouting wildly waving swords of different lengths in twos and threes, for these guys who were not sober-minded, Liu Zhongwen and Zhao Hai taught them a lesson with wolf teeth and arrows - fighting is not fighting, and if you don't get ready, you will die.
After four or five minutes of confusion, the team of the ashigaru squad finally appeared, disheveled and shouting loudly about the ribs, and gradually around him began to gather around him the ashigaru who were haphazardly dressed and holding all kinds of weapons in their hands--in a hurry, these guys probably were holding on to something, some were holding iron cannons, some were carrying bows and crossbows, and most of them were carrying all kinds of swords.
At this time, the escort team had all loaded their ammunition, and the two rows became one row, forming a horizontal formation about ten paces wide, and aimed at the growing group of ashigaru two hundred paces away with their Lu Mi guns.
Chu Fan, who was standing at the head of the row, seemed calm on his face, but his heart was blazing - just kidding, this is in the wolf's den, and a dozen or so people who are not careful will have to be reimbursed in full!
Seeing that the ashigaru group on the opposite side was still gathering and had no intention of attacking for a while, Chu Fan couldn't help but frequently take out his pocket watch to check the time.
Just when the minutes passed seven minutes, there was a sound of footsteps in the prison behind him, Chu Fan turned his face slightly, and saw a group of Japanese people in tattered clothes, blue noses and swollen faces pouring out of the prison door, all of them with shocked and ecstatic colors, their eyes turned around on the escort team, not only glad that they had to get out of the big disaster, but also curious who was so bold that they dared to run to the heavily guarded military camp to rob the prison!
Chu Fan didn't have the heart to pay attention to them at the moment, and after a quick glance, he found that Amakusa Shiro Shi Zhen was not among them, and his heart suddenly rose again - obviously Shi Zhen was still looking for the Golden Cross.
"Kill, give!"
Just when Chu Fan was anxious, his familiar Japanese shouting of killing sounded on the opposite side, and when he raised his eyes, a team of more than ten people who had been hastily assembled was rushing towards the door of the prison, and it could be seen that the team was letting his subordinates test Chu Fan's firepower.
There were not many people, but there was still cooperation, and at the front were seven or eight Ashigaru wielding swords, and behind them were four or five men with well-wound crossbows.
Chu Fan aimed at the guy facing him in the stormtrooper, quickly judged the distance between the other party and himself, and when he rushed to about eighty steps away from him, he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" "Bang~~!"
As soon as he opened fire, the escort team immediately opened fire, and the air was immediately filled with thick gunsmoke, and there was an earth-shattering scream behind the gunsmoke, Chu Fan glanced at the corner of his eye when he changed his gun, and almost no one was standing in the first row of the opponent, and even someone in the second row was knocked to the ground.
As soon as the gunfire stopped, the bowstrings in the hands of Liu Zhongwen and Zhao Hai also sounded, and the thick wolf tooth arrows rushed straight to the few ashigaru who were still standing with the sound of the wind, and easily inserted into the flesh* body without any protection.
The stormtroopers all fell eighty paces away from the guards, but someone still pulled the trigger of the crossbow before falling, and a crossbow arrow shot out, but this guy estimated that he had been hit by the arrow when he pulled the trigger, so the crossbow arrow went over the head of the escort team and was softly inserted into the wooden wall of the prison, which made Chu Fan panic.
After changing the gun, Chu Fan looked at the fifty or sixty people who had gathered and were in the whole team, and took out his pocket watch again.
There's only one minute left, but Amakusa Shiro Shizhen hasn't come out yet!
