Kawakami has not seen the battle between the firearms for a long time, and when he followed Shimazu Tadashi to the east and the west, the daimyo of Kyushu had a lot of firearms in his hands. However, he has always been less interested in firearms, because the performance of firearms is unstable, and the range is not longer than that of bows and arrows, and the firearms are slower, and most veterans like him prefer bows and arrows. What made him feel strange was that the range of the fire gun on the opposite side seemed to be much farther, and it was already quite powerful to shoot at a distance of seventy paces.

At this time, Kawakami also felt it, judging from the sound of firecrackers, there were definitely no more than three hundred firecrackers in ambush in the woods, and they were just caught off guard. In the face of about 300 enemy troops, Kawakami was indeed not too worried, but there were more than 1,000 people behind him. Although nearly two hundred were killed by the sneak attack just now, the remaining eight hundred against three hundred, there was no problem at all.

"There aren't many enemies on the opposite side, and they're done by rushing into the woods! Rush me! ”

These "pirates" are indeed elite soldiers, and when they suddenly encountered an ambush, the formation of nearly 200 casualties was not chaotic, and they kept rushing forward, shooting and firing arrows on the side!

In their opinion, these enemy troops in the woods are not numerous, and as long as they get closer, and kill a few, they will start to scatter and flee. After a while, they will be able to chase down the rout like ducks.

"Kill! Kill them! ”

"Kill it!"

"Pirates" flocked to it. At a distance of 100 meters, the "pirates" rushed to it in only a dozen seconds, and seeing that the enemy had rushed to the front, Zhou Feng and Li Biao immediately ordered at the same time: "Brothers! The time has come for us to make meritorious contributions! Kill! ”

The soldiers who were lying in ambush in the woods had long been impatient, and when they heard the order, they immediately rushed out of the woods. The musketeers, who had fired a few shots, did not move, continued to reload their ammunition and shoot outside. At this moment, the face-to-face hand-to-hand combat is not inferior to the hundred of them, and it is the most correct choice for them to continue shooting.

In fact, the army looked down on these pirates from the bottom of their hearts, and tens of thousands of bandits in Fujian were exterminated by them.

Two thousand marines quickly rushed out of the woods and collided with the "pirates", and the soldiers formed a line of four or five people, clenched their spears in their hands, and pressed towards the "pirates" in a neat line!

At this time, the "pirates" were also taken off by the soldiers who suddenly rushed out of the woods, knowing that they were in big trouble. But these little dwarfs were indeed heroic, and instead of the slightest fear, their faces became even more ruthless, and they waved their knives and axes and screamed, and slashed at the enemy in front of them!

"Be careful, axe!" Before the soldiers who had just arrived at the front could react, several axes flew in front of them. Rushing at the front soldiers, more than a dozen people were hit by axes and fell down screaming.

"Ah---! Dog offal! Give back my brother's life! Raise the gun, stab! The soldiers around them were like brothers, and when they saw them fall, their hearts were like knives, and they went crazy and flattened their spears, and they stabbed at the "pirates"!

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

With a muffled sound, a group of soldiers' spears stabbed into the enemy's body, and blood kept gushing outward! Although the "pirates" were fierce and agile, the soldiers of the Marine Corps had not been trained for nothing for more than a year, and they were not weaker than any army in terms of bravery or teamwork. Now the small team of five or six people who are united and coordinated by the Marine Army immediately made these "pirates" suffer.

After a while, the five who went back to pick up the five were small boats, and a group of "pirates" continued to be transferred. The "pirates" had help, and they were no worse in numbers, and they fought with the Marines even more tenaciously.

The soldiers of the Marine Corps did not mess up at all, slowly raised their guns forward, and stabbed the enemy in front of them. Qi Dashuai's "dignified array, thousands of queues forward, the brave can not be first, the cowardly cannot be behind, among the ten thousand armies, but like one person" fell into practice, and in less than a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, the "pirates" lay down a large number of corpses. The "pirates" were clearly unable to resist, and several had already begun to retreat. However, how could the soldiers of the Marine Corps let go of this great opportunity for meritorious service, pressing forward step by step, and working harder in their hands, as if they could not use up their strength.

The musketeers in the woods took advantage of their high terrain and kept shooting at the rear of the "pirates", and one by one the "pirates" fell in front of the marines. The increasing pressure caused the "pirates" to be confused, and they turned around and began to flee to the beach!

"Retreat! Fast! Kawakami no longer has the confidence he had before, the enemy in front of him is too strong, and it is a strong army that he has rarely seen in decades of battle. After leaving behind seven or eight hundred corpses, including him Kawakami, everyone realized that they had been defeated, and that they were no match for the enemy in front of them.

The "pirates" were completely frightened by the marines, and they threw away their armor and ran to the beach.

Hisao Shimazu, who had been standing on the deck, witnessed the battle from beginning to end, greatly surprising his expectations. This time, he brought out one of the most elite troops in the Satsuma Domain, at least the other half of the sailors who stayed in Kyushu would not be much stronger than they are now. But the facts in front of him told him that they were defeated in this battle, although they were ambushed in front, but the face-to-face battles that came ashore one after another in the back were still defeated.

At this moment, the musketeers who had been hiding in the woods no longer stood still, and chased after the other soldiers, releasing their guns as they pursued. Long-range weapons have this advantage, a person's two legs can't outrun bullets, and now the effective range of this new musket has reached 150 steps, about 200 meters!

"Bang bang bang!"

There are constantly "pirates" who fled to the beach are hit, and then fall to the ground with a "bang", some of them are lucky enough to be killed by bullets, and many more are unlucky, they are hit by bullets in the legs, fall to the ground, and can no longer get up. The soldiers who caught up behind unceremoniously made up for a knife or a spear, and endured double pain before dying.

Shimazu Hisao was full of anger, and anyone who watched his army being hunted down and killed would not feel comfortable. But he had not lost his mind yet, and immediately gave the order: "Order all ships, aim their guns at the enemy forces behind, and bomb me!" ”

The flag commander quickly conveyed the order, and the ships on the seashore raised their guns and began to reload their ammunition and prepare for firing, teaching these enemy soldiers who dared to ambush them a harsh lesson, and at the same time avenging the death of their comrades.

"Stop the pursuit! Stop the pursuit! Li Biao saw that they were getting closer and closer to the seashore, and the muzzles of the "pirate" ship began to load ammunition, and he quickly gave the order. But the soldiers were so scattered that many people didn't hear it, and they continued to pursue. He hurriedly snatched the gong from the herald not far away, and slammed it hard!

"Dangdang, dang!"

"Dangdang, dang!"

A rapid sound of gold ringing echoed across the beach, and the Marines immediately stopped their tracks and quickly retreated.

"Retreat, everyone quickly retreat to the depths of the woods, retreat to the back mountain! Fast! ”

Most of the "pirates" had retreated to the seashore, and when they saw that the enemy behind them was no longer pursuing them, and retreated into the woods, many of them sat on the ground, gasping for breath, glad that they had escaped their lives. These "pirates" who fled to the sea have been completely killed by the marines, and the strength of the marines is deeply engraved in their minds, and they will forever lose the courage to fight against the marines.

On the ships on the seashore, the guns were already loaded, and they quickly lit the fire doors for the Marines who were about to enter the woods.

"Tom tom!"

There was a burst of cannons, and one or two hundred iron bullets flew in the direction of the woods, but fortunately the soldiers were not in a dense formation, and half of them had already entered the woods. Even so, this round of shells left the lives of dozens of fighters. The other soldiers looked at their brother who died tragically under the shells, and felt a pang of grief and indignation, but they did not stop, and ran quickly in the direction of the back mountain, as long as they reached the back mountain, the shells would not hit them.

This section of the distance was about 300 meters in total, and the marines ran with all their might, and when the second shot was fired from the ship, they basically turned around the hill and came to the back mountain, which took a total of a minute. Looking at the panting brothers around them, Zhou Feng and Li Biao looked at each other and smiled, just now they were chasing the "pirates" to kill, and now they are immediately replaced by them, it is really unpredictable! However, now that it's safe, those guys at sea, leave it to the navy brothers to clean up. After Zhou Feng and Li Biao took two breaths, they began to integrate their troops and count casualties, and at the same time, they sent a few soldiers to climb to the top of the hill to check the movements of those "pirates".

Shimazu Hisao looked at the enemy army who had run away without even the second round of artillery, and he was really angry, and ordered the long-range Hongyi cannon on the ship to continue to bombard in the direction behind the mountain. I have to kill some of them to vent the hatred in his heart.

The cannons here kept bombarding, but Zhou Feng and Li Biao didn't care, the cannonballs flew high above their heads into the distance, and they wouldn't suddenly fall vertically to hit them. However, what Shimazu Hisao and Zhou Feng didn't expect was that the cannonball flew over this small dirt hill and hit directly next to Puzhu Temple. Nearly 20,000 workers are in Puzhu Temple, and the crowd is relatively dense. Although there were not many shells from the Hongyi cannon, two of the dozens of shells fell to the ground grazing the courtyard wall of Puzhu Temple. The workers were in confusion, all of them were terrified, for fear that the shells would fall close to the Puzhu Temple. But fortunately, the three rounds of shelling did not fly directly at the temple, otherwise, the 20,000 workers do not know how many people will die!
