Chapter 627: Forcing You to Death

The military formation of 6,000 soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Army seems to be very large.

However, in front of the Japanese military camp, which has more than 30,000 soldiers, it seems very small.

When the barracks appeared in front of everyone, many of the officers and men of the Haw Par Army showed a look of panic from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, behind the panic, there is also a trace of incomprehension about this counteroffensive.

In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, leaving the tall walls of Pyongyang City and not defending it, and launching a counterattack with less than half of the opponent's strength, is not bravery, but death......

If it weren't for the harsh military discipline of the Tiger and Leopard Army, many soldiers would even disobey orders directly on the battlefield and refuse to come out to die.

In order to boost morale, but also to be on the battlefield and fight directly and wisely. Zhao Yun did not stay in the city of Pyongyang. Instead, he followed the 6,000 soldiers to launch an imminent counteroffensive against the Japanese military camp......

The commander of the 7th Division, who was walking beside Zhao Yun, was full of worries about this unknown counteroffensive, just like ordinary soldiers.

looked at Zhao Yun beside him, whose face was shrouded in confidence since he made a decision. Again, the division commander asked the question that he had asked at least three times today......

"Commander, we only have six thousand men...... But there were more than 30,000 pirates...... Can we really win this counter-offensive? How do I think it's a bit like an egg hitting a stone......"

Zhao Yun shook his head and replied with a firm face: "You have to remember that we are not eggs, and the Japanese who are several times our strength are not stones......

"As for whether this counteroffensive can be won, it depends on whether the original analysis of you and several division commanders is unreasonable...... You know, I've analyzed it according to you. All the artillery of the whole army was brought together. And it was to concentrate these artillery. Only then did we have to change the battlefield passivity to initiative. Leaving Pyongyang and taking the initiative to launch a counteroffensive against the Japanese military camp......"

Faced with this answer, after a wry smile appeared on the division commander's face, he could only choose to remain silent.

However, when he thought of the more than 300 artillery pieces hidden among the 6,000 soldiers, his face was much less worried, and he regained some confidence in this counterattack.

When the 6,000 Tiger and Leopard Army advanced to the last 300 steps left from the Japanese camp, they stopped directly.

Then. Begin to take the company as a unit, with the musketeers in front, the bombardiers in the back, and the gunners in the last combat array, ready for battle.

As for the Japanese military camp three hundred paces away, at this moment, they are also ready for battle.

Tens of thousands of Japanese robbers, relying on the barracks fence and the shield cars and shields that had just been built, were ready for defense......

Perhaps it was the strong strength of the Haw Par Musketeers in defending the city that shocked the general of the Japanese Invaders. Hiding behind the shield carts, except for a few archers. All the others were musketeers.

It is clear that the Japanese also figured out the guò musket. In the course of the Haw Par Army's offensive, the Haw Par Army attacking force was dealt a devastating blow.

However, what the general didn't expect was that Zhao Yun did not plan to attack the military camp directly, even if the Tiger and Leopard Army formation at this moment was only the last three hundred steps away from the military camp.

Looking at the every move of the Japanese military camp, a sneer quickly appeared on Zhao Yun's face.

Facing the commander of the seventh division, he said with a proud face......

"With so many musketeers and archers, it is not surprising that the limited number of archers and sought-after men of the Wako have all gathered in front of us. In that case, let's not be polite and just eat it......"

After speaking, Zhao Yun directly opened his mouth and ordered: "Heavy artillery regiment, two heavy mortar battalions...... Immediately open fire, targets, pirates, musketeers and archers......"

The order was given, and the artillery positions, surrounded by the musketeers, immediately began to roar.

As the general's white smoke gushed out from the muzzle of the cannon, more than a hundred flowering shells also flew out of the cannon chamber with a screaming sound, and flew towards the Japanese military camp a few hundred paces away.

Soon, deafening explosions began to sound in the Japanese military camp.

Musketeers and archers gathered together, although protected by shield carts and shields. However, shield carts and shields can block attacks from the front, but they can't block attacks from overhead.

Therefore, after the explosion of the flowering bullets that roared down from the sky, the fragments of the flowering bullets were scattered, like the scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens, forming a steel storm in the barracks.

In addition to the shield, the widow who did not even have the least leather armor was swept to the ground without even a chance to react under the sweeping of the flying fragments, and his life and death were uncertain.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of pirates fell in this round of explosions.

However, this was only a little appetizer that Zhao Yun had prepared for these widows.

The aftermath of the first round of explosions in the Japanese barracks had not yet had time

Dissipated, and the second round, and even the third round of flowering bombs, had appeared on top of the heads of the Wakos.

Looking at the Japanese military camp that was constantly shrouded in gunpowder smoke hundreds of steps away, the commander of the Seventh Division seemed to realize something? Facing Zhao Yun, he subconsciously asked: "Commander, I understand, you want to use flowering bullets to force the Japanese out of the barracks, so that the shield vehicles and shields they worked so hard to build will be useless, and they have to fight with us in the field......"

Zhao Yun turned around and affirmed: "Only in the field can our superiority in muskets and artillery be truly brought into play...... Otherwise, do you think I would dare to attack the Japanese army camp with more than 30,000 defenders with 6,000 troops......"

"Look, at most ten rounds of artillery fire, you can see a good show......"

Compared with Zhao Yun's full confidence, the face of the general showed an unprecedented shock.

In his mind, after the battle began, the Haw Par Army would quickly approach the barracks under the cover of muskets and launch an attack on their own barracks.

However, the Haw Par Army did not. Not only did not, but also performed an unprecedented artillery blow to himself.

More than 100 heavy artillery pieces were constantly firing flowering shells at the barracks......

The first thought that came to the minds of the generals who still used old-fashioned artillery such as the Franc machine and the redcoat cannon was how the Haw Par Army could have so many red-coated cannons, and how they had unknowingly sent so many red-coated cannons to the battlefield......

However, this thinking did not last long, when it was interrupted by the sound of explosions constantly sounding a hundred paces away.

Although the area hit by the Haw Par Army's artillery fire was already covered in gunsmoke, the Japanese generals could still vaguely see that countless musketeers and archers lost their lives with each round of shell explosion.

Soon, a display that he had to accept was in front of him.

If the Haw Par Army had enough flowering shells, the shelling would have continued. Perhaps in less than half an hour, the more than 10,000 musketeers and archers who had been placed on the defensive line would be blown up by the flowering shells......
