But just as they were rejoicing behind the wall, the landing point of the Japanese archers on the opposite side changed, and they began to shift to the left and right! Because except for the seriously wounded who were lying on the open space and could not move, the rest of the people had already dispersed, and shooting arrows at the gap would be a waste of feather arrows and strength, so the clerk in charge of the command decisively changed the target!

While the soldiers behind the wall were still rejoicing, the rain of arrows fell from their heads again! Some of the feathered arrows landed inside the wall, but almost half of them landed outside the wall! These feathered arrows caused a considerable number of casualties!

The soldiers didn't expect the other party to have the trick of throwing, so when the feather arrows fell from the sky almost vertically, the wall couldn't stop it at all! Immediately, one soldier was shot in the neck and fell to the ground, and more than a dozen people were shot in the shoulder or thigh!

Huang Guojun was the first unit to be ordered to attack, and he himself was outside the wall. When the first round of feathered arrows fell and shot a bloody flower in the crowd, he knew something was wrong! He immediately shouted loudly, "Disperse, disperse! All those who are behind are withdrawn! Take away all the wounded and the corpses, and don't move those standing against the wall!"

The junior officer quickly passed on his orders, and the soldiers who were leaning outside immediately withdrew along the mountain road, and some of the soldiers quickly withdrew with the wounded and dead in tow. During the whole process, he was shot three rounds by the arrows of the Japanese people before he was out of the range of the bow and arrow!

Seeing that the Ming army had retreated, Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was extremely excited, leaned out of the railing and ordered loudly, "Order the samurai to attack!"

The samurai and elite ashigaru, who had already been prepared, immediately pushed open the gate excitedly and rushed down! Their purpose is to destroy those artillery! And destroying these cannons is fairly simple, just push them down the hillside! After the bump of the mountain, the artillery will be deformed, and there will be absolutely no possibility of firing again!

But just as they were approaching twenty or thirty paces of artillery, a group of men suddenly flashed from behind the wall! Before they could stand firmly, they fired a volley at the Japanese people, although it was very untidy, but the three samurai who ran in front were directly beaten backwards and fell over, and several people behind them were also injured and fell to the ground!

This group of Ming troops did not leave after firing the firearms, but directly squatted on the ground, took out the bayonet from their waists and stuck it on the guns, and another group of people rushed over from behind the wall and stood behind them to shoot a volley!

This time the salvo was closer, the effect was better, and it directly knocked over seven people! If it weren't for the narrow mountain road, these Japanese soldiers could only rush down the mountain road and inadvertently form a column, otherwise there would have been more dead and wounded!

But it was no longer possible for them to retreat to this point, so they could only roar and continue to charge! And the Ming soldiers behind the wall seemed to be endless, constantly rushing out and firing the firecracker, and then squatted on the ground and stuck a bayonet on the mouth!

After the Ming army fired five rounds of volleys, the Japanese had already killed and wounded more than 30 people! There were finally no Ming soldiers rushing out from behind the wall, which made the remaining Japanese people breathe a sigh of relief, and they mustered up more strength to rush down with the help of the mountain! But those Ming soldiers were already ready to fight back, and they stood up under the command of the officer and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers!

In close-quarters combat, the knife is no match for the bayonet-mounted firecracker! The first group of Japanese people were pierced by bayonets stretched out from afar! These sacrificial warriors also tried to jam their opponents' bayonets with their own bodies, but the trained musketeers subconsciously left one person to resist the dying man, and the others drew their bayonets and fought again!

The only thing that is on par with the firecrackers is some of the spears! Their weapons are slightly longer than those of the firearms, but they are so few in number that they still hate them in the face of a dense cluster of bayonets! So far, the dozens of Japanese people who have rushed out have all been wiped out! This includes more than 30 clerks and more than 40 essences, and most of the core force guarding Tsurunomaru has been killed!

Shimazu Yoshihiro was also pale when he saw this, but he still ordered the archers to shoot two rounds. And the firecrackers had quickly retreated behind the wall after killing all their opponents, and did not do any damage at all!

When this round of offensive and defensive battles is over, both sides will have losses. After the musketeers withdrew to the wall, the officers began a preliminary count and found them dead

There were more than 20 people, more than 20 people were seriously injured and could not fight, and more than 40 people were slightly injured.

This result made Liu Ren and Guo Zhankui thunder! The face-to-face fight did not kill and injure so many people, but it turned out that there was so much damage in a wall!

But Liu Haojia is very angry! He knows that if a team really wants to mature, it needs to be constantly beaten, and in the process of beating, human life is the price! So he comforted the two of them and said, "We don't have any experience in attacking the castle tower, so it is inevitable that there will be some casualties in this situation. But the same problem should not arise a second time! This time I will remember it as an example! Alright, hurry up and reorganize the attack!"

Then Liu Haojia turned to Jia Ding and said, "Write it down, we still need a group of sword and shield soldiers in our team."

When he established the Wu'an Army, it was established with reference to the early Western firearms forces, and the goal was also directly aimed at the Spanish phalanx. And there was no place for sword and shield soldiers in the Spanish phalanx, so he didn't set it up either. But in actual combat, he really discovered that the sword and shield soldiers were also indispensable!

In the era of cold weapons in the West, there was naturally a demand for sword and shield soldiers, but when firearms appeared, the existence of sword and shield soldiers became more and more embarrassing! One of the most critical problems is that the West never fought street battles in the early wars!

When they face each other, they often fight in the field, because both sides are mercenaries, so once one side fails, the personnel flee directly, and the city behind them is naturally at their fingertips, so there is no need to fight in the streets.

And here in the East, it is different, when the two sides are fighting, street fighting is also a frequent way of fighting, often fighting from outside the city to the city! Therefore, sword and shield soldiers are very useful in street fighting, and this is one of the differences between East and West!

Liu Ren and Guo Zhankui collected a lot of shields and planks to send to the front line, but found that Huang Guojun was organizing people to retreat the artillery! Seeing this scene, Guo Zhankui was the first to react, he slapped his thigh and said, "We're really fucking stupid, just thinking about finding something to block the feather arrows, I didn't think that the range of artillery is much farther than bows and arrows, as long as we retreat a little!"
