Chapter 68: Firearms Strike
Pang Gang commanded the soldiers to line up and go out of the city, but there was a sadness in his heart, there were nearly 800,000 people in the huge Yangzhou, and each person could drown those Japanese robbers with a spit, but now things have turned around, the soldiers and civilians in the city were blocked by only a few hundred Japanese robbers and did not dare to go out, from the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Yangzhou prefect, down to the soldiers and soldiers, all allowed the Japanese to plunder women and kill civilians outside the city, just ask what is the use of such an official government and such an army.
It is no wonder that in the near future there will be such a human tragedy in Yangzhou Shiyue, Shi Kefa in Yangzhou when he held the huge Yangzhou city can recruit more than 10,000 soldiers, in the face of 30,000 Manchu Qing soldiers in the attack of the city in the beginning of the stubborn resistance, but with Shi Kefa was killed, their morale immediately collapsed, jumping over the wall, escaping and escaping, resulting in more than 400,000 people killed after the city was broken, comparable to the Nanjing Massacre in later generations, thinking of this, Pang Gang felt a rush of anger.
The leader of the Japanese invaders outside the city is named Ono Jun, a wandering samurai of the book, since his master lost in the battle between the book and other daimyo three years ago, he has become a lonely ghost that no one wants, so the martial arts are not bad, he collected dozens of equally down-and-out samurai in the book to come to the coast of China to be a bandit, so his power slowly grew, once developed to more than 500 people. Originally, he was in Fujian and Jiangsu and Zhejiang coastal areas of the captivity, but the good times did not last long, some time ago he offended the southeast coastal area of the sea overlord Zheng Zhilong, was chased and killed everywhere, killed and injured more than 200 people, the strength of the greatly reduced he had to take the remnants of the flow to the Jiangsu area far away from Fujian, this is not already addicted to the idea of Yangzhou City.
Of course, he would not be so naΓ―ve as to think that a real man could capture Yangzhou City with hundreds of pirates, but it was still possible to plunder outside the city. In the Ming Dynasty has been a few years he knows that the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers have been corrupted to the extreme, in the past battles, his hundreds of people can kill thousands of Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers like ducks at will, today's performance of Yangzhou City did not surprise him at all, the closed city gate and the silent Ming soldiers have shown that if there is no protection of this city wall, those Ming Dynasty soldiers will not dare to stand in front of them.
Now Jun Ohno and a group of his men were sitting not far from the inner city gate, holding the snatched woman in their arms, and laughing as they looked at the defenders on the city wall who were afraid of the enemy.
At this time, they were surprised to find that the city gate was slowly opened, and a group of Ming troops actually opened the city gate.
"Nani? Those cowards in the Ming Kingdom dared to go out of the city? β
Seeing the unusually actions of the Ming army, Ono Jun was surprised and delighted, and said to a leader beside him: "Nakamura-kun, the Ming people are here to send them to death, you immediately lead a team of samurai to kill them all!" β
"Hello!"
The leader also looked excited, drew his katana, and rushed forward with a roar of thirty pirates.
Maybe someone will arrive strangely, the Japanese are too rampant, dozens of people dare to charge at hundreds of enemies, but in the eyes of the Japanese Kou, this itself is very normal, the difference in the combat power of the Ming Dynasty army They have a deep experience, and the collapse at the touch is their common characteristic, although the armor of the Ming army in front of them is brighter than the Ming army they have encountered before, and the weapons are more sophisticated, but in the eyes of these and the Ming army are used to shouting, it does not represent anything.
At this time, after Pang Gang led the sergeants out of the city gate, he immediately set up a formation, with sixty bird-gunners in front, pikemen and sword and shield men in the back, and the baggage soldiers opened up the formation on the flanks.
Seeing the strangely dressed Japanese monsters in the distance, screaming and rushing towards them, the Ming soldiers standing on the city wall looked like earth, and their bodies were trembling, as if they were the people facing the Japanese invaders.
On the other hand, the sergeants in Pang Gang's team had a faint look of expectation on their faces, and the food and salary rewards of Wanghai Fort were mainly captured, and for these sergeants who had been brutally trained and tempered by the battle to suppress bandits, the Japanese in front of them were not only not threats, but their best source of wealth.
Pang Gang divided these bird-gunners into three teams, one assembled the ammunition, one group fired, and the other team was on standby, which could greatly improve the efficiency of shooting operations. At this time, sixty bird-gunners stood in three rows, and the ammunition and fire ropes in their hands had already been lit and loaded.
Seeing the Japanese invaders swarming, Pang Gang, who was standing on the left side of the team, smiled coldly, the Japanese are the Japanese invaders, and they have no discipline at all, even if such an army is brave, it can only be regarded as a rabble.
Pang Gang drew out his command knife and ordered the sergeant to raise the Lumi gun in his hand, and twenty bird guns lined up and aimed at the swarming Japanese in front. At this time, the Japanese who were rushing forward also saw the bird soldiers lined up in front of them, and they didn't care, they had seen a lot of firearms of the Ming army, and it didn't work very well to kill people, but they had seen a lot of frightening people and blowing themselves up.
When they had reached about a hundred paces, the dozens of would-be robbers let out a scream in unison, and they all brandished their weapons and rushed towards them with wild screams.
"Ready!"
Pang Gang raised the scimitar in his hand, pointed at the Japanese in front of him and gave an order, and the bird gunners all put the butts of their guns close to their shoulders and aimed ahead.
When the would-be robbers had rushed into a distance of eighty yards, Pang Gang shouted, "Shoot! β
"Bang bang bang!"
Twenty birds in the front row chirped in unison, spewing out a puff of projectiles and smoke.
In the roar of birds, dozens of the fastest runners were knocked to the ground at the same time, and fell to the ground screaming loudly.
The power of the Lu Mi Gun is extremely great, and it is lethal from a hundred and fifty paces away, and now at a distance of a hundred paces, how can those Japanese robbers who don't even wear armor be able to resist it. In addition, although the lead bullet is not as powerful as the sharp bullet of later generations, the lead bullet will deform in an instant after hitting the human body and encountering resistance, forming the effect of a dummy bullet.
"One row back, two rows forward!"
"Shoot!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Shoot!"
"Bang bang bang!"
After each of the sixty bird-gunned soldiers fired a round, a puff of white smoke filled the front of the phalanx, and screams kept coming from the front.
Soon, some choking white smoke dissipated, and what appeared in front of everyone was the corpse that was more than 80 paces away, lying crookedly in front of the formation, and the dozens of would-be robbers who were still excitedly charging just now had all fallen to the ground.
This result stunned the Ming soldiers who were watching the battle on the city wall and the Japanese soldiers such as Ono Jun who was waiting to see the show in front of them. Their mouths were wide open, as if they didn't expect the firearms of this group of Ming troops to be so powerful, and before they could rush close to them, dozens of their companions were all killed and wounded in the blink of an eye.
However, although they were in a daze, Pang Gang did not, he raised the scimitar in his hand again and ordered: "All march forward!" β
"Knock Knock Knock"
As the drums sounded, more than 200 soldiers, including 100 baggage soldiers, strode towards the Japanese in front of them to the beat of the drums
