Chapter 132: Dressed well, dying fast
Rows of green fireworks take to the sky. The sky over the harbor shines beautifully.
The firecrackers who had been preparing for a long time in the wall of the Ming Imperial Silver Horn Courtyard lit the fire rope according to the drill code, and the pace of climbing the wall was slightly panicked.
In the military residential area and the artisan residential area, people also quickly gathered and climbed to the roof.
If the leader of the Wako looked closely at the map given to him by Dai Dehai, he would find that these two settlements were like two shoulders that hugged the Ming royal silver trumpet.
This time, the team of the Japanese invaders was not hindered, because Xu Qin had already gathered the people into two residential areas through tunnels or dark alleys.
The entanglement of street fighting can only hit the momentum of the pirates. To completely destroy it, it is necessary to fight head-on.
Luo Zhong's 700 men did not leave at all, and now they are in the nearby forest, like a hidden arrow, waiting to deal a fatal blow to the Japanese Kou.
The advance of the Japanese was too smooth, which aroused the suspicion of the chief.
"They seem to be waiting for us to attack, which is not good." The leader of the pirates touched his chin and said.
But he didn't stop the attack, it had reached this point, and it was good that these people could still follow the command. You have to fight once.
The Japanese cautiously advanced towards the Ming Royal Silver, and without harassing attacks, this time it was much more enjoyable.
When the team advanced to a hundred paces, Watanabe Hirano felt a little bad, the building was so thick that the wall was four feet high. They did not bring siege equipment.
"Bow and arrow ready to suppress ......" Watanabe Hirano ordered, and the man with the bow and arrow in his hand immediately aimed at the head of the wall and moved forward carefully.
Ouyang Fei is one of the hundred households under Luo Zhong, and he is now in charge of training these recruits, if they are veterans, he will put these people within a hundred steps to fight.
But he didn't dare to command these recruits, seeing that it was about to reach a hundred paces, and at this time most of the bows and arrows had not yet reached the effective range, and the fire guns were already very lethal.
The archers of the pirates stared at the wall, gradually measuring the range. Before he could reach the range, he noticed a row of incense burning on the wall, followed by a crackling sound.
The man in the front row with a shield fell with a shake of his body. A huge bloody hole was punched in the chest or stomach. He fell in a pool of blood and died.
The archers immediately released their arrows, and a flurry of arrows shot out and mostly landed outside the wall, and before they could get close to shoot the second arrow, the fire rang again, and then it seemed like an endless end, with the sound of the dripping whistle, and the gongs and drums of death were constantly and rhythmically shot.
Every time, he harvested the lives of his companions, and he couldn't fight back just by being beaten, which made the Japanese very angry.
The Ten Guards watched as their men fell in rows, each firing ring, and their men falling in a row.
Just like peeling an onion, peel off one layer at a time.
Before he could think of a solution, the cannon on the roof of the building went off, and the cannonball-like cannonballs tore through the crowd before exploding through the crowd. The place where the cannonball fell became the Shura field.
After just a few shots, the team collapsed irrepressibly. The devilish artillery fire actually chased the team.
He could only lead the group back, and he keenly noticed that after two hundred paces the fire bell would not sound. It was only after running far away that he managed to gather the group.
Inside the Silver Trumpet, the recruits were excited when they saw the Japanese retreat. Ouyang Fei was very dissatisfied, but didn't say much.
Because of the protection of the walls, and the condescension, these trained firecrackers listened to the whistle from the beginning of the nervous and mechanical way.
Now I saw the Japanese fleeing in disarray, and their casualties were almost zero. Finally their faith was established, and the idea of nothing more than that was born was born.
Ouyang Fei remembered what the little grandfather said at the staff meeting, this is the difference between the two eras, using a firearm to fight cold weapons in a superior position is bullying people.
It's a pity that these pirates don't understand this truth, and these recruits don't understand this truth even more. The more he learned about the firebolt, the more he admired the little grandfather's foresight.
The frontal assault of the Japanese invaders was ineffective, and they threw down the corpses and quickly retreated.
"General, the enemy has been prepared for a long time, and the fire is powerful, we can't hit it." The thin strip of the Ten Guards found the leader.
"The thicker the crust, the better the flesh will taste. Spread out to the wings, be sure to smash it open. ”
The leader of the Wako gave the order.
The thin strip Jubei looked at Watanabe Plains, who was also bitter, and the two of them could only take the order, and soon the Japanese changed formation, spread out towards the two wings, and tried to attack with bows and arrows.
I have to say that the Japanese are really fierce, and sometimes they rush forward at the risk of death in order to shoot an arrow.
The firecrackers soon suffered sporadic casualties, and the two wings of the Woko were thin, so the effect was not very good. Artillery also failed to hit the maximum damage.
At great cost, the Wako finally approached the courtyard wall, intending to dig through it. It turned out that the wall was unusually hard.
And just as they were trying to dig the courtyard wall, suddenly the courtyard wall opened a lot of holes, and just when the Japanese couldn't understand what was going on, they thought it was Amaterasu's apparition.
The fire gun that was stretched out was sprayed against his face. Many people were screaming and lying outside the courtyard wall.
The firecrackers were followed by grenades, and an explosion followed by a pile of corpses. The Japanese could only retreat temporarily.
The second attack left behind more than 300 corpses and many wounded and screaming companions.
They are cruel by nature and do not care about the lives and deaths of their companions. Ignore these people.
"General, they are likely to transfer troops through tunnels, since people are here, other places should be empty. It is better to avoid the real and attack the false and mobilize their forces. ”
Dai Dehai saw the problem and immediately suggested.
"Very well, that's it. Watanabe Plain takes your people to the shop area, kills people and sets fire to you casually, and you want to make the movement big. ”
The leader of the Japanese invaders slapped his palm with a military fan and nodded.
Watanabe Harahara smiled cruelly, it was his favorite thing to do.
Soon Xu Qin discovered that the people of the Japanese were divided into two. About seven or eight hundred people went to the shop.
The rest of the population remained around the Royal Silver Trumpet. This was a big surprise to Xu Qin, but he didn't expect the enemy to divide his troops.
Another firework exploded, and although it was inconspicuous in the sunrise port, it could still be seen.
Luo Zhong also headed in the direction of the shop with seven hundred firearms, and Xu Qin was just about to give the signal for a free attack.
But he found an unexpected situation, that is, a widow wearing gorgeous armor came to the distance of 200 steps away from Daming Qianzhuang.
This distance was what the Wako considered safe, and he had come to observe the situation.
In fact, the distance of the arquebus was two hundred and fifty steps, and the reason why the arquebus did not shoot at two hundred steps was because Ouyang Fei thought that the accuracy of these recruits was not good. It was a pure waste of gunpowder, which is why the shooting stopped at two hundred paces.
Now the leader of the pirates stood in ignorance at a distance of two hundred paces.
"Snipe him......" Xu Qin yelled excitedly. However, the distance was far away, and the people on the Royal Silver Trumpet did not know if they could hear it.
"Fire gun, give me fire gun......" Xu Qin asked for fire gun.
Xu Qin snatched the musket from a soldier and aimed at the leader. And the people on the royal silver trumpet also reacted.
"Everyone, concentrate your fire on the one who wears the most flowers." The person in charge of the command is Ouyang Fei and Xu Qin.
The recruits, accustomed to obeying orders, raised their muskets and aimed them in unison, and conducted a fire rally against the leader of the pirates.
There was a crackling sound, and the people around the leader of the Japanese invaders fell down one by one, and the leader of the Japanese invaders was also knocked down and fell to the ground.
It was quickly covered with shields by the retinue and quickly carried away.
They retreated to what they thought was a safe distance, but instead reached a distance of one hundred and fifty paces from Xu Qin.
"General......" the retinue shouted.
"Baga ......" General spat out a mouthful of blood, cursed, and looked down at his gorgeous armor, now beaten beyond recognition, he felt his sternum broken.
Two hundred steps, although the power of the fire gun is not enough after all. But his armor is not only gorgeous, but also very good in defense. That's what saved his life.
The general had just stood up, but in the direction behind him, dozens of muskets were aimed at him.
"Hit ......" Xu Qin fired first, followed by a burst of fire.
As soon as the leader of the pirates stood up, he felt a hammer hit the back of his head. The world in front of me turned red.
And several of his attendants fell.
"General......" The thin ten guards hurriedly rushed over.
At this time, no one cared about the whistle, and when he saw that the enemy's main general was lying down, he was polite and struck at this side with a burst of fire.
It makes the people here even more confused. Several attempts by the thin strip Jubei to take the general's body were unsuccessful.
The back of the general's head was blown open, and white brains flowed out.
The artillery and guns were almost uninterrupted, and holding on only left more corpses.
"Retreat, retreat......" Shibei said bitterly.
