Touchdown grenades

This kind of thing, which would only appear during the French Revolution and Napoleon, has now been made by Zhao Hongyu. Equipped with a 24-pounder gun, it brought not only shock, but also bloodshed to the crusaders.

In this era, the Japanese people still mainly fought with cold weapons, and they had seen this kind of land warfare weapon there.

Not to mention the 16th century, even in the new century, artillery was still the mainstream weapon in the army, and only in the 21st century will it slowly decay.

Fortunately, this kind of ground grenade belongs to the very rough variety, because of some reasons during the French Revolution, so the shell is still in the shape of a round iron ball.

On the surface, it is no different from ordinary solid bullets.

However, after this cannonball is fired, it will burst like a pomegranate when it hits the ground, and its lethality is definitely not to be underestimated.

Isn't it, now Zhao Hongyu has begun to see the power of its production.

Thirty-six guns fired a salvo, and the shells landed in the advancing column of the crusading army.

With each shell falling and exploding, the soldiers in the crusading army were blown up to the air, or their broken hands and feet were thrown into the sky by a wave of blood, which also had a bloody color and made people feel chills.

The soldiers of the crusade had seen such weapons there, and it was completely beyond their knowledge.

They never knew that there was such a powerful weapon in this world, which could inflict such great damage on the two armies before they even made contact.

"Charge! Charge! ”

There were some clever generals, shouting loudly and ordering the soldiers to speed up the charge.

These people were stronger than the soldiers, and they knew that the southern barbarians had artillery on their ships, so they didn't know that these foreigners had dismantled the guns on the ships.

If that's the case, then it's not like they can't beat these foreigners.

Gun reloading can be very time-consuming, and now the opponent has completed a salvo.

If you wait until the next round of salvos. It's going to take some time.

In other words, during this period of time, it is impossible for the other side to be firing guns.

As long as they can use this time to charge up and finish off the enemy, then the battle can be over.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with such an idea.

It's just a pity that the enemy they encountered was Zhao Hongyu.

The Gene Man artillerymen are in a fast state, and when the cannon is fired, it is after the first cannon is fired. This is the turn that comes at the next door.

By the time the thirty-sixth gun had been fired, the first gun that had been fired had already been loaded.

The crusading army on the other side didn't know what was going on.

Therefore, the unlucky crusading army, they can only endure the artillery attack with their heads.

Although those generals can grit their teeth, those soldiers can't stand it.

At first, they could endure it, but after the corpses of their companions were constantly being swept away, and the wailing of their companions with broken hands and feet, many people were affected.

Rumble!

Another shell fell in the crowd. The military general who led the team was blown up on the spot.

Dozens of ashigaru were injured to varying degrees.

At this moment, the ashigaru people can't stand it.

"Retreat, retreat!"

I don't know who shouted such a voice, and I don't know which guy was the first to turn around and run back.

Anyway. A large group of hulala people turned around in unison and began to run towards the main formation.

Originally, these numbers were small, but their impact was enormous.

With these people taking the lead, the soldiers around them were still holding back.

The power of example is endless.

So. The whole force retreated like a tide.

When the crusaders retreated, all that remained were the bodies of their dead companions and the human remains that had been shattered by shells. And the wounded who were badly wounded, bleeding and wailing.

The first assault ended with the crusading army retreating, and the crusading army lost a lot of soldiers.

On the other hand, the foreigners on the small dirt slope did not shed even a little skin.

Takahashi sat on his war horse and kept shouting and scolding everyone for being 'waste', 'idiots', and 'eating rice' incompetents.

"You bitch, you even repulsed the charge. What else can you do, you don't look at how many enemies there are, you guys who eat dry food, you are not even as good as pigs. ”

Takahashi scolded happily, but his scolding made the soldiers' resentment towards him even stronger.

Didn't you see this bastard just now?

The enemy on the opposite side has already inflicted a lot of losses on us, and we can't rush at all.

The soldiers thought to themselves.

In fact, Takahashi, of course, saw the scene of artillery bombardment, and he himself was shocked and amazed by the enemy's methods.

But he didn't care about these anymore, what he cared about was to let the soldiers rush forward, and then deal with Zhao Hongyu and them.

As for how many people died in the process, he wouldn't care about these things.

However, the wind attendants and his subordinates behind him were stunned by Zhao Hongyu's artillery bombardment.

My Amaterasu, the other party's methods are really not ordinary.

The wind servant oozed out his tongue, and after licking his dry lips, he thought to himself.

No wonder Ishida Aido 5,000 men came to deal with these foreigners, but they were defeated by them after reaching the most difficult point.

It seems that it is not without reason.

Kazeo remembered that Ishida had sent troops to fight against these foreigners, but he had failed.

Originally, he also thought it was a little strange, thinking that the strength of Ishida Hedao's 5,000-strong army could not be defeated against foreigners with less than 1,000 people.

How incompetent it must have been to get to that point.

Now, though, the Wind Squire is completely understood.

It can't be that Ishida is incompetent, but that those foreigners are too powerful.

If nothing else, this artillery bombardment alone is not something that can be launched by ordinary forces.

Ishida Aido also retreated with the army at this time, and the flag sent by Takahashi to Izumi also followed.

They simply didn't have a chance to attack Ishida.

Takahashi was secretly resentful in his heart.

And Ishida Aido had palpitations, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Oh my God, I can't believe that these foreigners have come up with a new weapon. It seems that Takahashi and they are going to be finished this time.

Ishida Hedao thought of the scene when he and Zhao Hongyu fought at night a few days ago, and his heart couldn't help but feel a sudden burst.

This time, the enemy even used artillery.

You must know that these enemy musket arrays are also very powerful.

And there were also those cavalrymen who could use strange weapons...... If you don't do it this time, Takahashi will have to follow in his own footsteps.

After Ishida Aido estimated it, he felt that the crusading army would be finished if it didn't do well.

With such an idea and enlightenment, Ishida began to plan for himself.

Actually, now the strength of the crusading army. Compared with Zhao Hongyu, he still has a great advantage, and Ishida Hedao will not have such worries.

It's just that after Ishida Hedao experienced that night battle, he had already been broken by Zhao Hongyu and them.

Today, coupled with the artillery bombardment, he immediately thought of how to escape.

After all, he had the experience of escaping, and it was not surprising that he immediately remembered this matter by inertia.

"Rush me! Keep rushing me, no one can retreat! ”

Takahashi didn't pay attention to that, he sat on his war horse and kept shouting. Let his men gather the soldiers one after another, let them regroup, and then turn back and continue the assault.

"If anyone retreats, there will be no forgiveness! Rush up and slash the enemy, one head for ten copper plates! ”

Ten copper plates!

This is also a damn hemorrhage from Takahashi. He himself thought his reward was too high.

Don't you know that when he said this, even his own subordinates felt speechless for a while.

What can ten copper plates do?

Just buy a rice ball.

Is this also called a reward?

Just kidding.

The Wind Squire, his single wave soldiers, and the generals looked at Takahashi with a painful face one by one.

Here they are. It's kind of a wonderful thing to understand Takahashi.

I've only heard of it before, but they think it's probably the same thing.

But this time, they were thoroughly taught.

"Rush me. What to do standing stupidly! ”

Takahashi saw that his subordinates and the wind servants were all looking at him with strange expressions, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.

Syllable! Syllable!

Takahashi waved the horsewhip in his hand and slapped the people around him hard, but he didn't even look at who he was whipping.

In Takahashi's opinion, he is the commander, and who is pumped can he say anything.

Anyway, I have a lot of excuses, and I smoke it for nothing.

A whip mark was struck on the wind squire's face.

It hurt so much that he bared his teeth for a while.

The Wind Squire had no idea that Takahashi would dare to whip him.

"Your Excellency!"

The Wind Squire's subordinates hurriedly led his horse and pulled him away.

Takahashi just glanced at it faintly, and then turned his gaze away.

As if whipping the wind squire by himself was nothing at all.

Could it be that in his eyes, he is the same as those ordinary soldiers?

The wind attendant held his face in his hands, and looked at Takahashi with hatred from between his fingers.

Damn, I was a little guilty about what I was going to do, but you did this to me and I wanted to do it.

The wind attendant's attitude towards Takahashi is very hateful.

"Ishida! Take your men and horses and give me the first charge! If you dare to retreat, I'll cut off your head! ”

Regarding the fact that he had whipped the wind servant, Takahashi didn't pay attention to it at all.

In his opinion, the wind squire is a timid and good man, even if he whips him, what can he do, is it possible that he still dares to take revenge on himself?

jokes, I don't dare to borrow his two guts.

Takahashi felt that he had eaten the wind.

Besides, the wind servant had contradicted himself earlier, and he had wanted to get him for a long time.

The whip just now was also deliberate.

Takahashi didn't think anything would happen to the Wind Waiter.

Immediately, he began to play on the topic and turned his goal to Ishida Aido.

He wants to take advantage of this opportunity to let Ishida Aido die! (To be continued......)
