Chapter 24: Bloody Revenge

"Fire!" I almost roared and gave orders.

The red flag in the herald's hand was suddenly waved. Along with this red flag, the red flag in the hands of the herald in front of each gun emplacement was waved down, and the gunners immediately lit the fuse of the artillery.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" accompanied by an earth-shattering loud sound, the artillery arrayed in front of the queue let out a shocking roar of revenge one after another, and the smoke and loud noise suddenly diffused throughout the valley.

In the distance in the telescope is a different scene, although a few cannons exploded not far from the outside of the village, but most of them hit the village, a few cannons even smashed on the high wall, the violent explosion immediately knocked down several Japanese robbers, and two cannons even directly hit the feet of several Japanese robbers, and their bodies suddenly disappeared in the violent explosion. The rest of the shells all hit the village, and one shot even exploded near Ando's control tower.

The cannonballs used this time are flowering eggs, which are specially tailored for siege shells, these cannonballs are equipped with powder twists, calculate the distance and time when firing, and then control the ignition speed of the medicine twists, after the shells are launched, once they are shaken, they will explode, because the craftsmen have improved the gunpowder, although the power is not so terrifying, but a large amount of gunpowder and broken iron pieces are loaded inside the projectile, and once it hits, it will explode, although there is no destructive power for the city wall or something, But the lethality of the internal pieces of broken iron to the soldiers is absolutely terrifying.

The defense of the high wall was immediately disrupted by this fierce shelling, obviously no one on the other side had ever seen such a powerful artillery, under a fierce shelling, everyone was frightened by the chaotic scene of the shelling, I could even see the frightened and surprised faces of the would-be on the other side from the telescope, and the same expression appeared on the face of Masao Ando. This old boy seemed to be blinded by this first round of shelling, and he actually stood on the control tower in a daze.

It would be unreasonable not to lose in this way.

The herald's white flag had been waved down, which was a signal to reload, and the two loaders standing behind the artillery, who had already been prepared, immediately rushed to the front of the artillery, took the fired subsystem from the muzzle of the gun, which was still smoking, and raced the newly loaded subsystem. This is the genius invention of the craftsmen of Dengzhou to improve the loading speed of the artillery, they transformed the artillery in their hands into a two-part artillery with a subsystem and a mother, the mother system is the artillery itself, and the subsystem is loaded with fire-medicine and shells, when firing, the subsystem is stuffed into the mother system to fire, and the subsystem is taken out immediately after the launch, and the new subsystem is loaded, so that the loading time can be greatly saved, this artillery improvement method can be seen everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, after Reska provided a new artillery design drawing, Li Guangzhong asked people to improve this new type of artillery into the Ming Dynasty's loading method.

Reska was very surprised after seeing this loading method for the first time, and admired the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty.

The red and white flags, which represent the reloaded, were raised again, less than ten minutes after the first shelling.

The pirates are busy with the relief work, unbeknownst to them, the second roar of death is coming.

The red flag is waved again!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom......"

Another volley, whistling cannonballs slammed into the thin body, the shattered fragments mercilessly hit the soldiers guarding the high wall, and I could even see the broken arms flying in the air, and the would-be pirates that had been directly hit had been blown to pieces.

Seeing such a bloody side made my stomach feel sick again. But in the end, I was suppressed.

After the second round of shelling, the Japanese on the high wall had already been killed and wounded, and the first two rounds of shelling were mainly aimed at suppressing the archers guarding the high wall to prevent a threat to the musketeers, and after two rounds of shelling, the Japanese archers on the high wall had suffered heavy losses.

With the third and fourth rounds of shelling, the Japanese on the high wall had completely lost confidence in the guards, and the continuous shelling and powerful artillery had completely shaken the soldiers, and I could even see the few defenders who had survived the shelling were staring at us with no expression on their faces.

This is the overwhelming advantage of advanced technology! I let out a long sigh, from the Opium War to the War of Resistance Against Japan, in countless battles, none of the Chinese soldiers guarding the Chinese city wall were greedy for life and afraid of death, but their tenacious will was ruthlessly destroyed by artillery and planes.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten! I kind of got it today! Only this time I was on the overwhelming side, and at that moment, I suddenly had a thrill of revenge.

"Keep shelling!" I firmly gave the order to the heralds beside me, and I knew that each cannon carried at least twelve sub-systems, that is, I could use the cannon to fire twelve rounds, and according to the power of the new cannon, after twelve rounds, there should be no one on the high wall.

"Zhang, the Japanese are coming!" At this moment, Reska suddenly slapped me hard, with unusual excitement in her tone.

I immediately opened my binoculars and looked at the gate of the village, which had been closed, and indeed, it had come out! About seventy or eighty samurai rushed out of the village, led by a red-footed wako, who did not form a formation at all, but rushed towards us in a straggler's line, all dressed in full foot, with samurai-swords or long knives, and rushed towards us with great vigour.

"Keep shelling the walls, aim at the gates, blast them open for me! The first battalion is ready for battle! ”

The artillery herald immediately waved down both flags, signaled to take off the earplugs, and listened to a new artillery order, while the other herald immediately shouted loudly: "The first battalion is ready for battle!" ”

The commander of the 1st Battalion, who had been waiting for the order, immediately raised the command knife in his hand and loudly conveyed the order "Combat readiness!" The platoon commanders immediately shouted loudly, and all the soldiers immediately raised their muskets!

"Get on the bayonet!"

In the midst of shouts after shouts, all the soldiers immediately hung their bayonets from their waists on their muskets, and the bright bayonets shimmered in the reflection of the sun.

The shock skirmishers had already run half the distance, but there was not the slightest trace of tiredness on everyone's faces, and they knew that if they stopped, they would be the target of the musketeers.

After the bayonet was fired, the fifth round of shelling began, and the shells continued to rage on the high wall, but the gate remained unharmed, not a single shell hit the gate, and of course the wooden gate could have done the job with one shell, so I was not in a hurry.

In the face of the fierce Japanese soldiers, the first battalion and all the artillery are still calmly doing their own thing, strict training and strengthening discipline played a key role at this moment, all the soldiers have not gone through actual combat, but they do not have any throbbing, most of them are veterans, before I came to this era, I have received systematic military training, and now everyone in their hearts is engraved with hatred.

The so-called immovable like a mountain, this is the effect you want! I nodded at the commander of the 1st Battalion, who had been waiting for my order, and he immediately understood, then turned around and raised his command knife in his hand.

"Gun on the shoulder!" All the soldiers immediately rifle on the shoulders! The bright bayonet flashed at once!

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

"Forward!"

The orders of the battalion commander and the platoon commander overlapped with each other, and then the soldiers of the first battalion began to move forward in a neat pace, and the Japanese soldiers were only about 500 meters away from them. Both sides can almost see each other's faces!

"Raise your gun!"

Under the unified order, the soldiers of the first battalion immediately stopped, and the muskets of the three platoons of soldiers were immediately raised, and at this time the Japanese who were attacking the camp were less than four hundred meters away from them.

According to the requirements of the training, it is only possible to shoot at about 150 meters, when the opponent's straggler attack line is brought together. Generally, after two or three rounds of shooting, the bayonet assault will begin! Now it's up to you to see how powerful these two or three rounds of shooting can be!

"Kaka is coming!" The leader of the red-footed Wako waved the samurai-sword in his hand and sent out a final shock of encouragement, and the seventy or eighty Wako immediately gathered together from the original straggler line, and I could even see that the red Wako was wearing a ghostly mask, and only the bloody eyes on his face were leaking out, which looked very terrifying.

The shouts of the Japanese suddenly converged, and the killing atmosphere in the blood of the samurai immediately stimulated these people to launch a final charge, and they seemed to want to repeat the scene of Oda Nobunaga in the barrel narrow, and go straight to the general and take off the head of the general general! I can even hear this shout in Japanese.

The soldiers of the first battalion were still calm, the gunners were not moving, only the bright bayonets glowed with cold light, and if the guns were light, the group of wouldn't have been able to rush in front of me, but the problem was that the soldiers on my side were also elite soldiers who had undergone strict bayonet training, and they would not be afraid of hand-to-hand combat at all. And Masao Ando also made a huge mistake, he did not organize a second wave of soldiers to rush out of the city, he still stood on the control tower and watched, as if he wanted to use this decisive unit to test the combat effectiveness of the musket unit before making a decision.

He will soon see this horrific scene!

The red warrior at the head had already rushed to within one hundred and fifty meters, he shouted frantically, brandished the samurai sword in his hand, and he did not shy away from the fire and spear at all!

"Fire!" The gunners in the first row fired the first shot of the Shenji Battalion's actual battle, and the red samurai who rushed to the front became the first victim of the Shenji Battalion. More than a dozen bullets hit this conspicuous target, and his body was immediately pierced, and the huge piercing and blocking force of the bullets immediately knocked him to the ground, and blood immediately rushed from the open hole in his body.

The second row of firing began immediately, and the six or seven men who rushed behind the red full-footed samurai were immediately shot and fell to the ground, but the remaining samurai were undaunted, still brandishing samurai-swords and frantically charging into the net of fire made of new flintlock fire-guns. Three-stage firing also constituted a barrage of fire in front of the positions of the 1st battalion.

The samurai who charged into battle were like leaves that had been hit by raindrops in a torrential rain, and while the bullet penetrated enough, it formed a huge impact and a huge stopping force, and once hit by the bullet, blood gushed down the wound. Some of the samurai were shot in the head, and their brains were mixed with blood flying in the clear sky, and some were hit in the chest, and the blood flowed like a column, while the samurai who were not hit by the vital point continued to attack with the feeling of certain death, and then were hit by a bullet and fell on this warm afternoon.

The continuous sound of gunfire echoed like fried beans, and the nirvana charge turned into a mortal charge, and the muzzle of the gun kept spewing tongues of fire, although the loading of the bayonet must have affected the reloading speed of the musket, but the great power of the new musket still startled Reska and me. Originally, it was thought that the impact force of the projectile within 100 meters should be of little use to some heavy armor, but most of the Japanese were pierced by the projectile.

I thought that after two or three rounds of shooting, there would be a rush through the fire to engage the Japanese invaders, but after a few minutes I changed my mind. The vast majority of the seventy or eighty pirates who had been assaulted had fallen in front of the positions of the first battalion, and the remaining dozen or so were wounded and surrounded by bayonets.

"Kill!" The battalion commander shouted, and the platoon commanders of each platoon under him immediately swung their knives and rushed forward first, followed by soldiers with bayonets, and then there was a bloody killing, because most of the dozen or so people on the other side were wounded and exhausted, and they were surrounded by more than 300 people in this battalion, and there was basically no suspense.

These dozen or so pirates were wiped out in less than ten minutes, and most of them had more than one bayonet wound on their bodies, because it was so easy to kill, and two of them were even shot at close range by soldiers who calmly loaded their ammunition.

The first battalion immediately returned to the line formation after the battle, and only two people in the whole battalion were killed and five or six were wounded, and on the grass in front of this battalion, seventy or eighty corpses of Japanese were lying horizontally.

Masao Ando in the telescope has been completely frightened, this new Ming army destroyed the guards of the high wall and his shock team in less than a bowl of rice, I can see from his white eyes that he can't adapt to this new method of warfare at all, and he is even terrified of this new method of warfare!

Now was not the time to sigh, I nodded at the artillery herald beside me, and the sixth round of shelling, which had already been loaded, began immediately.

The cannons roared in the valley, but the 2nd Battalion, which stood in front of the cannons, was unmoved, they had long been accustomed to fighting under the roar of artillery fire, and all the soldiers stood less than fifty meters from the artillery, allowing the cannons to roar behind them.

"What a fucking pleasure! Fuck the doggy Japanese wolver, you have it today, too! "Lao Wan, who had been next to the second battalion, finally couldn't help but shout loudly after the cannon roared." General, Lao Wan fucking took it today, I have never seen such a cool battle of abuse and abuse in my life, and it is still a widow, and it is so fucking happy! Hahahaha! ”

"Don't fucking laugh anymore! Get ready for battle! The commander of the second battalion was not in the mood of Lao Wan, he looked anxious, waiting for the battle that belonged to him.

He didn't have to wait long, because the gate I had been staring at with my binoculars was torn apart by a cannonball.

This village is out of danger!

I handed the binoculars in my hand to the guards behind me, then glanced at Reska beside me, signaling that the final general attack was about to begin, and then I took advantage of the situation to pull out the saber "Flying Snow" from my waist, and raised my head towards the sky, shouting the last order for today's battle!

"Attack with all your troops!"

"All of the second battalion is there! Gun on the shoulder! Advance! The commander of the second battalion gave all the orders in one breath, and the soldiers of the second battalion immediately shouldered their guns and walked forward. The 1st Battalion in the distance also immediately carried their guns and shoulders and walked towards the villages in the distance. The remaining artillery battalions continued to reload their ammunition, and their next task was to try to get all the ammunition for the twelve salvos before we reached the village.

The midday sun was shining, and the bayonet was particularly dazzling against the backdrop of the sun.
