Chapter 544: The Bloody Battle at Nanqiao Wharf (2)

Although bow and crossbow are often mentioned together, they are actually fundamentally different. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The bow requires a high level of arm strength from the shooter, and the soldier needs to be professionally trained and must strictly obey the command, and the formation must be perfect.

The crossbow is relatively less demanding for the shooter, as long as you can aim and pull the trigger, you can use it.

Another big difference between a bow and a crossbow is that the bow and arrow shoot in an arc, so the soldier needs to shoot diagonally upward. Crossbow arrows, on the other hand, are flat fired, as long as the trigger is pulled on the target.

Most of the river garrisons at Nanqiao Wharf are recruits who have never seen much blood, let alone the Japanese bandits, and even ordinary bandits have not been killed.

At this moment, it is indeed difficult for a strong man to ask them to shoot bows and arrows in a uniform formation. As for hand-to-hand combat, in the Ming Dynasty, except for the forbidden army, there were probably few people who could confront the murderous Japanese robbers.

Zhou Laohuo made the most correct judgment, the crossbow arrow is the most suitable weapon now.

More than 200 officers and soldiers took up their crossbows and aimed at the murderous Japanese robbers who were rushing towards them.

"Shoot!"

Zhou Laohuo ordered without thinking, there must not be a trace of hesitation in dealing with the Japanese Invaders, otherwise the next moment they will rush to your side and cut your throat with a sharp Japanese knife.

The soldiers pulled the trigger one after another, and the crossbow arrows shot straight through the air and shot straight at the Japanese invaders.

The people who rushed in front were all real widows, they were agile, and when they saw the crossbow arrows coming from them, they turned sideways, only two of them were shot, and they were not vital parts, so they pulled out the arrows and killed them again at the Nanqiao warehouse......

Zhou Laohuo's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but watch this group of thieves approaching him.

The strength of these people's individual soldiers is too strong, at least two or three levels higher than their subordinates, if they really fight hand-to-hand, I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will be slaughtered like cattle and sheep.

"Old Huo, what now?"

Chen Zhao stared at him anxiously, and he no longer had the majesty on the woman's belly.

Zhou Laohuo was the only one of the people present who had fought against the Japanese Invaders, and if even he had no choice, the brothers would really be at a loss.

"What else can I do, if I don't want to be caught, I will fight them to the end."

Zhou Laohuo clenched his fists and said.

"They are also human beings, and they are also flesh and blood. The white knife goes in, and the red knife comes out! ”

Although Zhou Laohuo knew that the Japanese were very powerful, he was not superstitious that the Japanese were invincible. They have a numerical advantage, and they have their backs to warehouses, so they can't just surrender, right?

"What did you do with the Wakos?"

Chen Zhaoxiang was about to collapse.

What's the difference between this and sending to death?

One hundred, fifty, thirty steps......

Seeing that the would-be robbers were about to rush to him, Zhou Laohuo took the lead in drawing his saber and shouted loudly: "For the sake of Daming, fight with these beasts." ”

All human beings have potential, and this potential will be perfectly stimulated when faced with a desperate situation.

Maybe on weekdays, these officers and soldiers change their color, but at the moment they can bravely draw their knives and fight the Japanese to the end.

"Hey, it's all raised by my father's mother, why do we have to be beaten by the Japanese Bandits, brothers, let's fight with the Wolves."

Chen Zhao gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and also drew his knife and rushed out.

When the two armies meet, the brave wins.

The Japanese obviously didn't expect the Ming officials and soldiers to dare to take the initiative to attack, and they were stunned.

However, with the orders of the leader Oda Keiro, they soon regained their composure and calmly walked among the Ming officials.

The purpose of their operation was very clear, that is, to intercept all the Kampot and give the Ming court a disadvantage.

They don't care about the life and death of these soldiers. Of course, if the Ming officers and soldiers did not know how to hinder their movements, they would not mind swinging an extra sword to end up with these soldiers.

Han Lun, on the other hand, stayed in the bushes a few hundred steps away and watched everything that happened. As the informant planted by the Han family in this smuggling arm, his identity is very special, not only to ensure a good relationship with these pirates, but also to ensure that he always provides information to the master.

This smuggling arm can be discarded if necessary. For the Han family, it is a big deal to cultivate another smuggling arm, but the premise is to ensure that these people will not fall into the hands of the government and do things that are unfavorable to the Han family.

Han Lun watched intently, everything was as he had planned, the individual combat power and overall coordination of the Ming official army were far inferior to this smuggling arm, and they were defeated and retreated in the confrontation, and there was no chance of winning at all.

Seeing that Oda Keiro was about to approach the warehouse, an army jumped out of nowhere, holding a firecracker-like object, coldly aiming at the alien in front of him.

Han Lun chuckled in his heart.

He didn't know what this firebolt-like thing was, but he knew it must be powerful. In terms of hand-to-hand combat alone, these Ming officers and soldiers are definitely not the opponents of the ronin warriors, but if they are added with firearms, they can completely reverse the disadvantage and even turn defeat into victory.

But he was too far away from Oda to shout for him to evacuate. What's more, with Oda Keiro's character, even if he hears Han Lun's warning, he will not necessarily evacuate.

What happened next Han Lun will never forget for the rest of his life, those Ming officers and soldiers pulled the trigger, and the muskets fired in unison, shooting the ronin warriors who rushed in front into a sieve.

The rest of the fake Japanese saw that the ronin samurai fell to the ground one after another, and they were stupid.

They stood on the spot, not knowing what to do.

Even Oda Keiro was shot to death, who should they listen to?

The Ming officials and soldiers did not have the slightest mercy, and they continued to pull the trigger and shoot these fake widows who aided the abuse.

Until they died, they did not understand where these soldiers came from, did they fall into a trap?

......

......

There was a dead body in front of the warehouse at Nanqiao Wharf, and the officers and soldiers stepped forward to cut off the heads of the Japanese and threw them into cloth bags. More than 100 heads, which is a great achievement. After reporting to the imperial court, each of them can be promoted to three levels in a row, not to mention the silver reward.

Since the fight against the Japanese invaders ravaged the southeast, the Ming officials and troops have only been beaten, when have they been so majestic as they are today?

Zhou Laohuo was relieved and admired the robes who rushed to the rescue.

I don't know where the army led by the general is. ”

"The surname of a certain family is Pei, and the single name is a word. A certain family was originally a thousand households in Shaoxing, and by the grace of His Majesty, he was responsible for the training of the new army in Shaoxing Prefecture. ”

"It turned out to be Pei Qianhu, looking up for a long time!"

Zhou Laohuo hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

He had heard a little about the New Army, but he never thought that the fighting power of this New Army was so strong.

In the past, the fierce and murderous would-be wouldn't blink in front of their firearms.

"Pei Qianhu, this is the legendary fire gun, right?"

Pei Yan smiled and said, "No, this is a flintlock pistol, which is much more powerful than a firecracker." ”
