At the same time, the two musketeers cruising outside the phalanx also withdrew from the front line, retreated to the position of the phalanx at the waist, and continued to shoot forward with their muskets to protect the safety of the flank of the gun forest. At the same time, they are ready for hand-to-hand combat with bayonets!

The samurai and elite ashigaru who had already approached the phalanx couldn't help but slow down when they saw this strange change suddenly appear in the phalanx opposite! But then they mustered up their courage and roared forward again! They think you have a thousand changes, and I can just cut it down with one sword!

But it's not as simple as they think! A few samurai who were at the front were preparing to look for the gap in the gun. Just as they stretched out their knives and were about to draw their spears, the spears on the opposite side suddenly skyrocketed by more than two feet!

The samurai at the front was obviously superb in martial arts, he saw two spears stabbing at him, he knew that he had just exerted his strength, and it was too late to retreat, so he instead increased the strength of the ground and rushed forward, and put the sword in front of him and fired the spear!

This samurai is obviously not very good at dealing with this type of warfare, because the Wa people have a relatively strict hierarchy, and even on the battlefield, they will follow the principle of samurai vs. samurai, and ashigaru vs. ashigaru, although it is not so strict now, but he has never encountered such a situation!

He thought that he could deal with the spear in front of him, but he didn't understand at all that the whole gun forest was one! So just as he slashed the two spears in front of him, two more spears stabbed from the right side! Although he had already tried his best to twist his body, he was still pierced through his chest by a spear!

The chest was pierced, and blood instantly filled his lungs, and he didn't even shout, just coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground! When he died, he regretted why his own knife failed to cut off the opponent's spear!

He didn't know that the spear Liu Haojia used for the soldiers was not the ordinary wooden gun used by Ashigaru. The wood of this spear is not a whole piece of wood, because then it is bound to hit a flawed spot. The spear will have a weakness. So all the spears are made of the finest wood.

And a thin steel core is wrapped in the middle! All the wood has been soaked in tung oil repeatedly, all the connections are wrapped in steel sheets, and the rest are wrapped with thin wires, and the cost of a spear is definitely more than a good firecracker! So this is a katana that can be cleaved at will!

As the first samurai fell, more people crashed into the guns! It can be said that none of the samurai who ran at the forefront were spared! And the rest of the people did not dare to step forward, so they could only keep hitting the spears with their knives, trying to find a gap in them and rush into the gun forest, and the pikemen who lost their length were the targets of slaughter!

But the musketeers who were obscured by their spears were not standing idle! Musketeers and pikemen complement each other at all, and it doesn't have to be pikemen to cover them, but musketeers can also provide cover for pikemen!

Just as the samurai and elite ashigaru were forced to stop by the spears and began to search for the gaps in the spears, the firearms that had been flattened again finally fired! The sound of fire, which had been suspended because the various phalanxes had just formed their formations, appeared on the battlefield again, and they instantly became one, and all the phalanxes began to shoot almost at the same time!

The Wu'an Army's firecracker itself is a heavy firecracker, and it is extremely powerful! And at a distance of about ten steps, there is no possibility of missing the target at all! So as soon as he gave the order, Huang Guojun stared at the front of the phalanx, wanting to see how effective this round of salvo was? After all, he usually fights straw men in exercises, and it is the first time he fights a real person!

I heard the officer of the horizontal squad yelling, "Shoot!" Immediately after that, the fire bolt activity spewed out a thick smoke of gunpowder! At the same time, the samurai regiment and elite ashigari who were huddled together fell backwards one by one as if they had been hit by a heavy hammer, causing the people behind them to retreat again and again!

And what's even more terrifying is that there are almost no screaming people in this row of firearms! All but a few were killed on the spot! Moreover, this row of firecrackers actually knocked their front back three or four steps!

The firecrackers who had finished shooting stepped back sideways and began to reload, while the soldiers behind them stepped forward and lowered their firearms again under the command of the officer, pointing at the panicked samurai and the Ashigaru! The two sides were only a few steps apart, even on each other's faces

's expressions can be seen clearly!

The samurai and elite ashigaru have a panicked face! They also know that it is unrealistic to dodge shots at such a close distance, just to see which person is not targeted! So they all subconsciously clenched the knives in their hands, waiting for the verdict of fate!

And when the firecrackers saw the prey in front of them, they all smiled fiercely! They stared into their opponents' eyes and pulled the trigger in their hands! Not surprisingly, this round of salvo went down again without missing bullets, and the front of the position was covered with the corpses of samurai and elite ashigaru, once again knocking them back two steps!

Seeing this situation, Huang Guojun was not satisfied again! He quickly ran to the back of the phalanx, and mobilized a platoon of soldiers at the edge of the phalanx in the rear to supplement the front of the phalanx, and now the number of people on the front reached four rows, so that the fire wheel would shoot more smoothly and densely!

At this time, the front of the three phalanxes of the Wu'an Army had become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! As soon as the rushing samurai and elite Ashigaru approached, they were forced by spears, and their movements were bound to slow down. And then under the combined blow of spears and firearms, they fell almost in rows!

And their attack from both flanks was blocked by the five phalanxes in the rear with a salvo, and they could not advance an inch at all! And even so, those samurai and elite ashigaru still roared and pounced, wanting to achieve a little, even a small result!

But they were either pierced by spears or shot to the ground, and they never even came close to the spears erected by the soldiers in the front row! This is simply an efficient massacre!

And at this time, the cavalry on both sides rode horses and raised their swords and galloped forward! Although the two wings add up to only a few hundred horses, they are forced to run out of the momentum of thousands of troops!

But it's a joke when it comes to cavalry! First of all, the mountains of the Wa Kingdom are rugged, there are not many plains at all, and the cavalry is not very useful at all. Therefore, although each family attaches great importance to cavalry, the main force of the army is still infantry. Just like the famous Akabi of the Takeda family, he doesn't have many troops.

The second disadvantage of the Wa cavalry is that they are not tall themselves, and the island country does not have enough plains for war horses to gallop, so the size of the war horses is always not high! To put it mildly, it is just one size bigger than the donkey in the Central Plains! However, it also complements the short stature of the Japanese people!
