Chapter 133: The War of Two Eras
The battle is no longer fought, it is not a battle but a massacre.
Hoshijo Jubei wanted to retreat while he was still strong, but he deliberately did not send someone to inform Watanabe Plains.
The shogun is dead, and the leader will surely be born between him and Watanabe Plains. The greater Watanabe's losses, the more odds he has of winning.
He prayed that Watanabe's raid would be successful, and that it would be better to move as loudly as possible to attract all the demons.
His prayers were very effective, and Watanabe was in trouble, and on the way to the shop, he bumped into Luo Zhong, who arrived in time.
Three hundred paces away, seven hundred firecrackers lined up in the streets, ready for battle.
"The chance to prove our bravery has come, and the warriors will kill them all......" Watanabe Plain ordered angrily, drawing his katana.
The pirates shouted excitedly, brandished their weapons and began to speed up slowly. At a distance of two hundred paces, they finally saw clearly those strange firearms in the hands of the Ming soldiers.
It had been more than an hour, and for the first time, they had seen the appearance of the firecracker. It's not the same as the Great Feu in my memory.
But it doesn't matter, since they came out of the turtle shell, they are going to kill all these bastards in a dignified manner today.
This will deter others who want to resist.
One hundred and fifty paces, the wolf had begun to howl like a wolf, and began to charge frantically from small steps.
If it was a recruit, he would have already started shooting at this time, but Luo Zhong was a veteran of a hundred battles.
A hundred paces, the pirates charged faster, their cries as piercing as mad dogs. Fifty paces, you can already see the hideous expressions on their faces.
Didi twice, the whistle sounded.
Bang...... In the first round of volleys, the body of the most ruthless Japanese was stunned, as if hitting an invisible wall.
The tremendous impact of the buckshot not only pierced through the shields, tore their flesh apart, but also squeezed them in the opposite direction.
But the ones behind are not cold, Daming's fire gun can only hit once, they know.
As long as they fight in hand-to-hand combat, the firecrackers are lambs to the slaughter. They are not good at hand-to-hand combat.
Then they saw a scene that frightened them, the first platoon finished withdrawing the charge, and the second platoon opened fire.
"Ah......" The desperate Japanese Kou let out a terrible scream in the face of the fire, proving his last madness with the fastest desperate charge.
It's a pity that fifty steps is a red line of death.
With a burst of firearms, blood-red flowers bloomed on their bodies, and they all fell to the ground upside down.
The third platoon continued to shoot.
The continuous firing caused heavy casualties to the Japanese invaders, but they still rushed forward. Red-eyed, they don't believe that these firebolts will be endless.
Of course it won't be endless, but there are grenades.
Facing the wolf who rushed over like a mad wolf, Luo Zhong calmly ordered.
"Grenade, Four Breaths ......"
The firecrackers in the back row immediately put down their firearms, removed the grenade from their waists, and cut the fire rope according to the dimensions of the four breaths.
"Prepare ......," Luo Zhong ordered.
Everyone blows the arquebus, aiming it at the grenade's arquebus.
"Dididi......" three whistles.
Immediately ignite the fire, then throw it in the direction of the Wako.
The pirates charged with their firearms, having crossed the red line of fifty paces, and wanted to continue advancing.
Suddenly, some small smoking jars fell underfoot.
"No......" Kozaburo Matsushita, who was mixed in the crowd, let out a frightened cry.
There was an explosion with almost no time difference, and the crowd was like a wheat field blown by a strong wind, staggering from side to side, and stumps and broken arms flew into the sky.
The entire area was emptied, and the air was filled with the smell of gunsmoke, all of which were handing over broken bodies, or wailing wolkes holding their crippled bodies.
The follow-up Wako looked at the dead area, and finally stopped hesitantly. The weapon in his hand had begun to tremble.
It's like a red line, and those who cross it will die. In just a quarter of an hour, almost half of the people died.
And the people on the other side were still in order, looking at them solemnly and indifferently. The firecrackers will continue to shoot.
Watanabe finally realizes that he has chosen the wrong battlefield.
There are buildings on both sides of the place, just the road in the middle. It's just too good for the firebolt to play. And they don't have room for detours.
"Evacuate ......" Watanabe Plain planned to find a more spacious place and fight them in a roundabout way.
Even though he didn't have the advantage in numbers, he still had the advantage of victory, and by this time he had given up on the idea of plundering.
But he developed another kind of greed and rushed in to grab the firecracker. He realized that this new weapon was too powerful to determine the course of the war.
Just grab one, just one. Bring it back to the Wa Kingdom to imitate, and he can build such an army, and give him 2,000 such troops, and he can run rampant in the Wa Kingdom.
At this time, there was no firearm in the Wa Kingdom, and he had only seen it when he was fighting with the Ming army of Weisuo, but it was very different from this.
But he forgot that now is not a good fight, and his subordinates don't think so. After receiving his order, he turned around and ran away in a swarm.
Fifty to two hundred paces, this distance is the shooting distance of the fire gun, and it is also the death distance of the Japanese Kou.
When the pirates fled, Luo Zhong immediately led the team to attack, and the firecrackers followed the drums to keep the formation in pursuit, and continued to shoot behind them, which made the fleeing pirates even more desperate.
Listening to the sound of firecrackers behind me, I felt that my companions around me were constantly being hit and fell.
Kozaburo Matsushita, who lost an ear and eye, had already broken his guts and just wanted to run quickly.
The thin ten guards were no better, and ran to the dock to board the ship, only to find three huge boats already across the river.
These are not boats, they are tall buildings on the water, and there are two floors.
And the side facing the dock on the shore is full of black holes. And in the direction of the wharf is a neat line of Ming officers and soldiers.
Before he could react.
There was a thud of artillery, and countless cannonballs screamed and fell into the crowd, tearing and devouring his men like the flames of death from hell.
Three rounds of artillery fire were overwhelming, and most of the men and the buildings of the dock were sent into the sky.
He was horrified to see the neat rows of Ming soldiers on the dock, marching neatly to the beat of the drums.
Strange firearms were raised at them, and with a crackling sound, the wolves at their heads fell in pieces.
In the early morning, puffs of smoke emanated from the firearms, and one team finished firing, while the other team was already on top.
Constantly firing alternately, with artillery fire, constantly harvesting the lives of the pirates, the bravery of cold weapons, in front of the barrage is the target.
Xu Qin painstakingly arranged, and finally brought the advantages of firearms into full play. Preset battlefields, strong fortifications. There are also two eras of poor weapons.
No matter how the Hoshibei organized the attack, the result was to send them to death.
"Retreat and go to meet the Watanabe Plains." The Ten Guards hurriedly retreated with the only remaining men.
In fact, there was no need for him to order, and the would-be wouldn't have run back in a swarm.
He didn't run a few steps before he ran head-on into the retreating team of Watanabe Plains. Both teams were taken aback by the defeat.
Hu Ying led 2,000 recruits, including 1,000 firecrackers and 1,000 cold-armed soldiers. Slowly chase down the Japanese Koukou.
Luo Zhong took seven hundred veterans of the Divine Machine Battalion and pressed over like a mountain from another direction.
Now every whistle is a deadly magic sound for these widows, because when the whistle sounds, it means that the fire is fired.
There is always a group of them who fall. The arrogant wolf, now he is not even as good as a lost dog.
Some raised white flags to signal surrender, while others threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. But they all died under the fire.
There was no way, they could only run in the direction of the Daming Royal Silver Trumpet, and they met Xu Qin with a thousand people in line and slowly pressed over.
"Surrender ......" Hosako Jubei shouted after seeing Watanabe Plain killed by the firecrackers.
But no one seemed to hear it. People from three directions, maintaining range from a distance, fired at these pirates continuously.
The sound of firecrackers rang out all morning, and the whole harbor was filled with the smell of gunsmoke.
The sound of the Japanese fighting and the sound of explosions filled the whole world. There is no mercy, there is only slaughter of these brutes.
There were less than a hundred Japanese alive, and the shooting stopped. It wasn't that Xu Qin wanted to stop, but that Xu Fugui asked him to stop.
He also had to stop.
"Little grandfather, Lao Liujiagang's house was raided, and the two girls and Lord Wei were arrested." Xu Fugui said ashamedly.
Xu Qin was a little scared when he heard this, if he didn't fall asleep, would he also be arrested?
Then it's hard to say where this war will go, thinking about the fate of being captured, Xu Qin shuddered.
"Who did it? What the fuck are you eating. Xu Qin asked angrily.
"More than 200 people came, and I couldn't bear it. is the son of Dai Dehai, and now he has to change his father. ”
Xu Fugui covered the wounds on his body and said dejectedly.
When Xu Qin heard that there was still something about Dai Dehai, he couldn't help but scratch his head angrily, seeing that it was done, how could he do something again.
Annoyed to annoyed, but still ordered everyone to cease fire.
"Dai Dehai, are you still alive? Fart alive......" Xu Qin shouted to the inside of the widow who was not yet dead.
"Back to the little grandfather, the old man is still alive, I didn't expect the little grandfather to have good means, and the three thousand widows were wiped out in one fell swoop."
Dai Dehai came out of the corpse of the wolf, gritted his teeth and limped and said.
"Thanks to you for bringing them, but you also have good means to go straight to Huanglong, but it's a pity that I'm a little luckier."
Xu Qin made himself as calm as possible.
"Now I'm lucky, I don't know what important person my son has captured and can save my life?"
Dai Dehai asked excitedly.
"I suggest you hurry up, or the would-be robbers will chop you to pulp." Xu Qin pointed to the remaining widows who had been killed.
Dai Dehai limped all the way and walked towards Xu Qin.
"Accept the surrender of these people, capture those who have slipped through the net, and I will sacrifice prisoners to the capital." Xu Qin ordered to go down.
There were less than seventy of them still standing, and the rest were either killed or dying.
The remaining few who are on the run are no longer a threat, and the people of the Ming Dynasty will find them.
"You said that we are also a cooperative relationship, why did you make it like this?" Xu Qin and Dai Dehai said side by side.
"How can you do it if you don't work with a tiger? The little grandfather is a tiger, I am just a poor worm, everything must be small and big. So the little grandfather forgive me......"
Dai Dehai said politely.
"The way to survive, understandable. But you'd better be okay with the twins you sent to me on your behalf, otherwise you won't be able to leave. ”
Xu Qin said.
"Don't worry, little grandfather, my son is the most pitiful and cherishes the jade. But those two girls are indeed the best, and the little grandfather is very blessed. ”
The old thing Dai Dehai complimented on the surface.
The two of them came to Lao Liujiagang like old friends, and Dai Dehai's son and more than 200 people were already waiting here.
