However, these would-be pirates, who seemed to have seen victory beckoning to them again, were doomed to defeat in these five rounds of shooting.

Five rounds of shooting for one person, all three rows of musketeers combined, is fifteen rounds of lead bullet.

On average, almost every four seconds, there was a round of seven or eight hundred buckshots, flying towards them with the breath of death.

As a result, the dense army of Japanese invaders, every time they took a step forward, there were patches of soldiers falling on the offensive road.

More importantly, in front of them, there is another insurmountable hurdle, grenades.

When the Japanese finally rushed to a distance of 30 paces from the Tiger and Leopard Army, a whole line of more than 1,000 musketeers directly lowered their muskets and threw more than 1,000 grenades with white smoke at them...... At this time, if the Japanese still have musketeers and archers, they will carry out long-range casualties against the Haw Par Army, and prevent the Haw Par Army from fighting back with all their might.

The Japanese Korko, who were already close at hand, might still have a chance to get past the damage caused by the grenade and rush in front of the Tiger and Par Army.

But, unfortunately, their limited musketeers and archers have all been killed.

Just by virtue of these ordinary soldiers who are good at melee combat, in front of the Haw Par Army musketeers and bombardiers, they can't even see the face of the Haw Par Army except to send them to death...... In the Japanese military camp, the main general, who had just held on to the last glimmer of hope, saw that more than 10,000 musketeers and archers had been wiped out.

The first thought in the mind of the Lord is that it is over.

Then, an unprecedented look of despair appeared on his face, even though there were a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him beside him, waiting for him to come up with a solution.

Looking at the soldiers who were already less than 8,000 people left on the battlefield.

Still unhesitatingly continue to launch the offensive and make a last-ditch effort.

The main general knows that such an attack will not only give his life in vain but weaken his own strength.

It doesn't make any other sense.

So, with a desperate face, he directly gave the order to retreat.

The sound of the horn of retreat reached the ears of all the Japanese on the battlefield, and also reached the ears of all the tigers and leopards, including Zhao Yun.

Seeing that the battlefield had already shown signs of retreat, Zhao Yun decisively ordered.

"Command. The musketeers immediately launched a counterattack against the Japanese attacking troops, taking advantage of the situation to enter the Japanese military camp...... Heavy artillery, heavy mortars, artillery fire cover on the spot...... Medium mortars. Light mortars, along with the musketeers, launched a counter-offensive against the Japanese attacking forces...... This time, I want to defeat this army of pirates in one battle and make them completely incapacitated......

After the order was issued, the division commander did not leave immediately, but reminded with a worried face: "Army commander, launch a counteroffensive now." Isn't it a little faster? After all, there are at least 10,000 elites in the Japanese military camp. And we, with only 5,000 people, are full......"

"And. Every soldier in front of us has experienced almost half an hour of bloody fighting, and everyone is very tired, and I am worried that the soldiers will not be able to hold on to this high-intensity battle......"

Zhao Yun refused without hesitation: "No, just launch a counteroffensive now...... Only by launching a counteroffensive now can we enter the Japanese army camp at the lowest cost. It's called taking advantage of his illness and killing him......"

"Sue the soldiers. Give me persistence, and if you can't hold on, you will hold on to me. Fight to defeat the Japanese in one battle...... After I am done, I will personally ask the palace for credit for everyone, and one person will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver......"

For these former court officials and soldiers who joined the Haw Par Army, one hundred taels of silver, put in the money for joining the Haw Par Army, and they can't earn it for three years.

is the Haw Par Army where he is now, and it is also almost a year and a half of salary.

And now, you just need to hold on to the end in this battle in front of you to get this more than silver.

For ordinary officers and soldiers in the army, it is definitely a temptation that cannot be refused.

Therefore, the face of the commander of the Seventh Division, who was still hesitant just now, quickly flashed a trace of essence.

He was sure that under the temptation of a hundred taels of silver, no matter how tired the soldiers under his command were, they would grit their teeth and continue to attack.

Thinking of this, the division commander took the order without thinking about it: "The commander is wise...... I'm going to deliver the order right away......"

The temptation of silver to ordinary soldiers is absolutely invincible.

As soon as the front foot of the Japanese began to retreat, the five thousand tiger and leopard musketeers, like tigers descending from the mountain, began to pursue with a roar.

While in pursuit, continue to reload the musket and shoot forward...... As a result, there was such a scene on the battlefield, and the Japanese who fled at the rear, under the continuous attack of the tiger and leopard army behind them, fell on the retreat road one after another.

Thousands of pirates managed to flee back to the barracks, and before they could catch their breath, the Haw Par musketeers who followed them had already rushed to a position less than fifty paces from the barracks.

At this time, if the pirates could not organize an effective counterattack, in a few breaths, five thousand musketeers would pour into the barracks.

However, after half an hour of attack, coupled with a rout, the withdrawal was like a rout.

Thousands of Japanese soldiers have long been caught in a chaotic situation in which they cannot find their generals and their generals do not know their soldiers, and there is absolutely no way to organize an effective counterattack in a short period of time...... As for the Japanese generals who stayed in the barracks, they did not expect that the Haw Par Army, which had also suffered heavy losses, would launch a counterattack when the troops were very tired, and they did not prepare at all.

By the time he reacted from the shock of the Haw Par Army's counterattack and wanted to draw troops to cover the retreating soldiers, the 5,000 Haw Par Army musketeers had already rushed outside the barracks.

What's more, the 5,000 responding troops that he had managed to organize with great difficulty were hit by more than 100 heavy artillery pieces of the Haw Par Army before they could rush in front of the 5,000 musketeers of the Haw Par Army...... Coupled with the loss of musketeers and archers, the Japanese generals simply had no long-range fire strike units in their hands that could stop the attack of the Tiger and Par Army.

The general who remained in the barracks could only watch as the 5,000 tiger and leopard musketeers rushed into the barracks as if they were in a no-man's land.

After entering the barracks, the 5,000 musketeers did not blindly attack everywhere, but took it as soon as they saw it, occupied a gap in the Japanese barracks, and waited for the arrival of the follow-up heavy artillery troops.

After all, there were more than 16,000 pirates in the barracks, more than three times as many as themselves.

If you are strangled with the Japanese in the process of attacking everywhere, you will either be driven out of the barracks by the Japanese or wiped out in the barracks by the Japanese pirates.

The general of the Japanese invaders subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Haw Par Army did not drive straight into his barracks.

However, in the blink of an eye, the facial expression that had just relaxed was once again covered with solemnity.

Because, at this time, he had already thought of the purpose and reason why the Haw Par Army didn't go straight in.

Not only him, but several generals around him also showed an unprecedented solemn expression on their faces.
