Chapter 26: The Attack on Musashifu

"If I were on the other side at this time, I would have found cover and hid instead of running around so as not to be targeted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Li Yingyuan said to himself in his heart, but he panicked in his heart. Well, suddenly come and kill people, why is that?

The leading English officer made a gesture, and someone pushed out the gun carriage and fired at the gate of Musashifu, and when he heard a bang, the gate of Musashifu exploded violently, and large and small pieces of wood scattered in all directions.

The door to Musashifu was gone, but the English army did not rush in, but fired in three columns, and when the first row finished shooting, they collected their guns and returned to reload, and then the soldiers in the second row stepped forward to shoot, and so on, and so on, and it seemed endless.

A dozen Fuso ronins with katanas rushed out from Musashifu's side, but they were shot dead by the English army from a distance before they could get close. Li Yingyuan was taken aback, only then did he know that these British soldiers were really not in vain, and secretly thought in his heart that if he went against these British soldiers, he must not blindly rush forward.

There was a panic in front, but there was no Fusang Ronin rushing forward again, and it was estimated that he would only die senselessly if he rushed out. Several English soldiers rushed forward with their heads bowed, but instead of rushing through the door, they went to the earthen wall and buried something and quickly returned.

When they ran back out of breath, the soldiers on this side stopped shooting. Li Yingyuan was feeling strange, and he heard a huge explosion in front of him, and the flames shot out several feet high, and then the earthen wall of Musashi Mansion collapsed completely. Only then did Li Yingyuan understand that those soldiers had gone up to plant explosives.

The earthen wall fell, and all the buildings and people inside were exposed to the eyes of the English army, and the British commander at the front commanded the soldiers to advance with guns in hand.

It wasn't until the soldiers stepped over the ruins of the gate and earthen walls and stood in formation inside Musashifu that the people inside began to react.

"The foreign devil is here, run!"

"Rush and knock the enemy out!"

In the panic, there were all kinds of sounds, both in the Ming language and in the Fusang language, which I didn't understand.

The Musashi family also started from killing, and in the early years, there was no less business without capital, but after all, after getting rich, it has been peaceful for a long time, and it is a little slack.

The timing of the British surprise attack was well calculated, just after dawn, just in time to take advantage of the rising sun to block the rushing enemy. On the other hand, the people of Musashi Prefecture were already at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers, and at this time, the command was chaotic, and it turned into a pot of porridge.

The Fuso ronin samurai raised by Musashi are still very brave, and under such a disadvantage, there are dozens of Fuso samurai shouting in an incomprehensible language and rushing out with their swords raised. However, the English army only lined up their soldiers in three rows and lined up to shoot, and the samurai who rushed out fell one by one in a pool of blood.

When the samurai were a little dazed, not knowing whether it was better to rush forward or retreat, suddenly a Fuso man with a disheveled hair appeared, waving the knife in his hand and croaking and talking, only to see that the samurai seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and retreated like a tide, hiding behind those buildings.

Li Yingyuan's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the Fusang man with his hair scattered, he suddenly felt that the blood in his body was boiling a little. After coming to Dinghai, Li Yingyuan also observed his target from a distance, wasn't the Fuso man just now Musashi Kojiro, the target he was going to attack.

It's just that there's no point in thinking about your own tasks at this time.

It was only by this time that the English army encountered a decent defense and began to suffer some casualties. However, the surviving Fuso samurai were only seventy or eighty at most, and the English soldiers were far superior to each other in terms of numbers, weapons, and morale, so they were not in a hurry at this time, but just advanced slowly.

Dozens of English soldiers dressed in green stepped forward and attacked the Fuso samurai hidden behind a building, and the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

The fuso people's katana was sharp, and those samurai martial arts were good, but they were by no means as powerful as the assassin a few days ago to block musket bullets, and at this time, they were besieged by several times the number of queen rangers, stabbed with bayonets, and some people attacked with pistols and other close attacks, and they were quickly wiped out.

Elsewhere, the red-clad English army was another way of fighting. First, they fired muskets and beat them so that they did not dare to show their heads, and then several tall and strong soldiers crawled forward and threw black lumps of dirt from a distance.

The lumpy stuff was thrown at the Fuso samurai, with smoke still coming out of their heads, and before the Fuso samurai could react, they exploded violently, injuring and killing a large number of the surrounding Fuso samurai.

After that, the English soldiers would come forward and strike at all the remaining Fuso samurai. Li Yingyuan looked at it and nodded secretly, the Ming army originally had the tactics of throwing things such as fire oil cans from afar, but compared to this kind of throwing goods of the English army, the power was far inferior.

Li Yingyuan saw clearly at this time that the Fuso samurai were completely restrained by the English in terms of weapons. Most of those who carried knives were killed by English soldiers from a distance with muskets or thrown explosives.

Occasionally, a few Fuso people would shoot from a distance with Fuso's characteristic shotguns or bows and arrows, but the number of these weapons was too small, the rate of fire was low, and there were no bayonets or anything in front of them.

At this time, the English soldiers stepped forward to attack, and Li Yingyuan and Chen Changsheng and other medical department apprentices and two English doctors were waiting in the alley behind, watching how the English soldiers in front of them fought against the Fuso samurai.

It was the first time for Li Yingyuan and the others to watch the actual war at such a close distance, and at this time, looking at the bloody and brutal battles in front of them, they were all pale and didn't know what to do.

The English soldiers gradually took control of the scene, and the dead and wounded of the Fuso samurai gradually retreated, and a large area in front of the bar was vacated.

"Everybody go in and help the wounded soldiers, don't forget how they are trained. An English doctor stepped forward and gave orders to the stunned apprentices.

However, seeing that these apprentices were still standing and motionless, they became anxious and hurriedly dragged Li Yingyuan: "Li, you are their head, quickly translate my words and let the apprentices move." ”

Only then did Li Yingyuan realize that among the three English doctors, Dr. Shepud, who could explain the country, only spoke English and could not command these apprentices.

"Listen to the doctor, come forward to help the wounded soldiers, bandage the people, don't just stand and watch the excitement. Li Yingyuan immediately yelled at the apprentices, and when he saw a few who were still standing in a daze, he went over and kicked them twice, and finally made these apprentices who had never seen the world move.

Chen Changsheng wanted to step forward in a daze, but was grabbed by Li Yingyuan.

"You idiot, don't move, stay by my side and give me a hand. Li Yingyuan roared in Chen Changsheng's ear in a low voice.
