Chapter 186: Cold War
At this time, Lu Yan's subordinates had already begun to shoot with a platoon of guns. ◎ Top Novel,
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
“……”
The sound of dense volleys of gunfire was incessant, and the sky above the military formation was soon filled with thick gunsmoke.
The overwhelming rain of bullets kept shooting at the Japanese ** team on the opposite side, coupled with the non-stop strafing of the Franc machine artillery, the Japanese ** team on the opposite side was knocked to the ground in pieces.
At this time, the Japanese ** team was already able to form some counterattacks, and some archers bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the Ming army, and one arrow after another shot at the Ming army's position.
It's a pity that the bows and arrows of the Wa Kingdom have always been known for their short range, and they can't wear the armor of the transparent army within a hundred paces, so they either fall to the ground in front of the big array, or shoot at the Ming army but are bounced off by the armor.
On the contrary, the muskets of the Ming army were so powerful that if they were hit, they would at least be hit hard, and more and more archers fell, and they were about to be consumed.
Faced with this bad situation, Date Masamune and Kato Tadahiro were relieved.
Because they will soon face a duel of musketeers, as long as they can inflict damage on the enemy and then let the elite samurai rush forward, this battle can still be fought.
As the archers grew more and more consumed, a dense group of shieldbearers appeared in the midst of the Japanese army.
They lined up in a neat line, hid the vital parts behind their shields, and then rushed towards the Ming army.
They are followed by rows of musketeers, who are the last barrier for the musketeers, and they will use their own ** and shields to block the bullets fired at the musketeers.
Date Masamune and Tadahiro Kato almost used the resources in their hands to the extreme before they came up with this solution.
A dense rain of bullets hit these shields, making a tiny sound.
Some of the shieldmen spat blood from their mouths. But they persevered. After a slight pause, the body still struggled to move forward.
See here. Lu Yan and the others' faces finally showed a trace of solemnity, due to the smoke on the battlefield, even if he had a clairvoyant mirror, he couldn't get a good vision, but the little devil was old enough to calculate.
Some of the guns fired, and pieces of lead bullets and stones hit the shields, and they gained momentum far more than the muskets.
The shields were torn apart, and the shield-bearers were almost mortally wounded by the violent impact, revealing the musketeers behind them.
However, there were also some guns that could not fire because they were reloading or clearing their chambers. As a result, the shield-bearer is still making great strides.
The exposed musketeers immediately stopped, and then aimed at the Ming troops on the opposite side.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
“……”
A dense burst of gunfire rang out, and some of the Ming gunners fell down screaming.
Seeing this, Lu Yan showed an unbearable look, but in the end, his expression became firm.
After firing the shots, the Japanese musketeers stood still and began to reload their rifles, while the musketeers behind them passed them and continued to shoot.
"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"
Another burst of gunfire rang out.
This time, both sides opened fire almost simultaneously, and a dense rain of bullets shot at each other.
It's just that the density of bullets and rain in the Ming army is at least three times that of the other side, and it makes sense that the military reforms carried out by Gustav can eliminate the old Spanish infantry phalanx.
After a round of bullet rain. More of the Japanese musketeers fell in pools of blood.
A round of musketeers fell in a pool of blood, and those behind immediately made up for it without hesitation.
Then both sides fired again. In this way, the two sides engaged in an extremely cold pair.
Either the weak-willed side will collapse first, or they will continue to kill until one of the musketeers is dead.
Seeing this, both Date Masamune and Kato Tadahiro were unmoved.
Fighting a war is always about dying, and sometimes a dead soldier is just a bunch of numbers in the eyes of the general, as long as you can win, it is worth it.
Date Masamune and Tadahiro Kato, who came from the Warring States, recognized this long ago.
At this moment, one of Date Masamune's samurai ran over with an excited face.
"Lord Kaiyu, our reinforcements are here, and Lord Matsudaira has sent us 10,000 reinforcements."
Hearing this, Date Masamune was a little disappointed, the number of people was a little smaller, but something is better than nothing.
So he said, "Quickly order them all to go up, and the speed must be fast." ”
At this time, Tadahiro Kato suddenly said: "Look, the enemy's cavalry. ”
Date Masamune looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw that a large number of cavalry were making a detour behind the Ming army's position.
Due to the smoke above the position, the vision was very bad, and they never found these cavalry.
"What can I do? How did the enemy have so many cavalry again. ”
Seeing this, Date Masamune couldn't help but be surprised.
Since the enemy's cavalry had already reached the rear to contain Matsudaira Nobutsuna's men, their formation once again became a front-arrow formation.
I didn't expect the enemy's cavalry to come out again, so what should I do?
"Let those reinforcements protect our right flank."
Tadahiro Kato sighed.
"I'm afraid it's too late, their speed is too slow, it seems that we need to throw all the cavalry in our hands into it."
Date Somasa said with some distress.
They also had some cavalry capable of cavalry, all of which were made up of elite samurai.
Losing one of them will make him feel distressed for a long time, not to mention that this battle may lose it all.
But there was no way, only the cavalry had enough mobility to intercept the enemy's cavalry, lest they threaten the flanks of the side.
The two deliberated for a while, and finally sent out all the cavalry that could be used to fight on horseback, and about 500 cavalry faced the 2,000 Mongolian cavalry in a near-martyrdom manner.
Seeing this, Mo Zhigen and Su He had no choice but to meet them helplessly.
When they were reluctant to charge, hundreds of cavalry were chasing them behind them.
After seeing the temporary solution to this crisis. Both Tadahiro Kato and Date Masamune breathed a sigh of relief.
Their troops were still engaged in an incomparably brutal battle with the Ming army. One musketeer after another fell. Then the latter one was added.
The ruthlessness and ruthlessness of war are vividly experienced in this moment.
Both sides were holding their breath, and they were waiting for the other to fall first.
As long as the enemy flees first, then they will win the battle.
Seeing this, Qi Jiguang was distressed.
But he knew that he must not back down at this time, and once he retreated, they would be defeated.
Fortunately, their troops were increasing, and the Ming troops who came ashore behind them stepped forward one after another, thickening the thickness of the Ming army's array.
The Ming army also had more and more musketeers, and in some places even increased from nine platoons to eighteen platoons.
They are shooting faster and faster. The pressure between life and death is getting less and less.
Plus those artillerymen fired regardless of life and death, killing and wounding those musketeers in pieces.
In this way, the number of musketeers in the Wa Kingdom decreased dramatically.
Seeing this, Date Masamune and Kato Tadahiro were extremely worried.
You must rush to the front of the enemy's formation, as long as you rush to the enemy's formation, then you can still win.
At this time, they glanced at the reinforcements sent by Matsudaira Nobutsuna and found that they were still on their way over, but their speed was too slow, and I was afraid that they would not be able to help in a short time.
More and more of the Japanese musketeers fell, and Tadahiro Kato and Date Masamune even deliberately strengthened some of their military deployments, but the musketeers were slaughtered. Then the samurai behind him was revealed.
A large number of musketeers lay in pools of blood, looking at the blue sky with unwilling expressions.
At this moment, they realized that they were so nostalgic for the world. It's a pity that their lives are slowly slipping away.
The musketeers of the Ming army were fine, and soon someone came to carry them down for first aid, and the musketeers of the Wa Kingdom were basically dead.
"It can't be!"
"It's over! It's completely finished! ”
Seeing this, Tadahiro Kato and Date Masamune looked desperate.
At this time, those samurai were only thirty paces away from the enemy, and thirty paces was only about fifty meters.
Usually a fast person can rush through it in a few seconds, but now it's a matter of life and death.
Although the reinforcements from behind were coming at an accelerated pace, their presence was no longer helpful in this battle.
A large number of artillery pieces and black holes are pointed at them, and if nothing else, it will be a bloody massacre.
"Kill, give!"
"Kill it!!"
The samurai seemed to be aware of their situation, and they were not intimidated even when they saw tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers fall in front of them.
I saw that they were holding katanas, their faces were hideous, and they rushed towards the enemy with desperate howls.
Lu Yan sneered on his face, these were just desperate shouts!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
“……”
The tiger squat cannon in front of the Ming army finally fired, and the dense stones hit them like a storm.
Rao is those warriors are good at kung fu and excellent protection, but they still have many terrifying wounds on their bodies, and then they fall to the ground with an unwilling face.
At the same time, the musketeers of the Ming army aimed at the samurai, and the continuous sound of gunfire was endless, and the dense lead pellets kept hitting them.
Thirty steps is a very short distance, at which time they don't even need to aim, almost a gun can hit the target.
In addition, the Ming army had many musketeers, so the rate of fire was very fast, forming a continuous six-stage fire.
Faced with such a powerful firepower network, those charging samurai were knocked to the ground one after another.
Seeing this, Date Masamune and Tadahiro Kato closed their eyes in pain.
Finished! It's all over!
By the time the reinforcements were ready to go into battle, the last of the samurai had already been slaughtered.
The front of the Ming army was full of dense corpses, and there were tragic deaths of Japanese ** teams everywhere.
Stumps and severed arms were everywhere, and red blood soaked almost the entire land.
Some of the devils of the Wa Kingdom who were not yet dead let out a painful wail, not knowing whether they were worried about the impending death or unwilling to accept this defeat. (To be continued......)
