Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 686 Kyushu Battle 10
Boom!Boom!Boom!

Just as the Japanese army was being bombarded by the shells hoisted from mortars, more than a dozen front-loading smoothbore guns mounted on the parapet suddenly shot out scorching fireballs. Thousands of steel balls shot out of the gun bores like a fountain. It sprayed out and spread out in a 180-degree fan plane, threatening wind and thunder, and swept towards the Japanese army like an iron broom.These front-loading smoothbore guns were all cast by Denglai's new army in the past two years. The barrels are slender and quite light. If they fire solid shot balls, they will definitely not have enough lethality, but if they are used to fire grape bullets, they are so sour!More than a dozen front-mounted smoothbore guns fired at the same time, and blood mist sprayed high in the middle of the Japanese army. The grape bullets using gun cotton as propellant were more than twice as powerful as those using black powder. The shields in the hands of the Japanese warriors roared. They were extremely fragile in front of the god of death, and they were torn to pieces by the steel balls that hit their heads and faces, and then their bodies were torn to pieces.The kinetic energy of the steel ball is really terrifying. After tearing apart the shield and the hand of the shield hand, the blood and flesh pierced through the back of the unlucky one who was hit, poured into the chest of the person behind, and set off another explosion. blood rain...

More than a dozen front-loading smoothbore guns just fired a volley, and the shield bearers in the first three rows were almost wiped out. The corpses and wounded soldiers lay on the ground, and the blood pooled into streams, which was extremely terrifying.The Japanese samurai screamed in horror, the steel balls whizzing past and crackling into the bodies of their partners and the scorching air made them feel like they were in hell!However, they immediately heard the howling of the wind, and then, a burst of coolness struck——the bows and crossbows of the Tiger Barracks and the Labor Camp were fired at the same time, and countless arrowheads merged into a cold rain of death, washing the bodies of the Japanese samurai... …The scene can only be described as "terrible". The Japanese samurai who lost the protection of their shields struggled and wailed helplessly in the howling rain of death. As the rain of arrows swept by, they fell like clumps of wheat harvested!

Shimadzu Nurishi had blue veins on his forehead, his neck artery wriggled like an angry earthworm, and broke his whip.Damn Ming army, last time it was a grenade, this time it was a grape bomb, what will it be next time?No matter what kind of deployment he made, the Ming army always found a way to crush his offensive with powerful firearms, and the Japanese army was never able to break through that damn line of defense!The furious Shimazu lost his mind and roared: "Cavalry charge! There is no need to make any reservations. All the troops are pressed forward. I will tear Akigo into pieces!"

What responded to him was a series of impenetrable explosions. Rows of grenades flew out from the hands of the grenadiers in the labor camp, smashed into the middle of the Japanese army, and exploded a wall of fire. The Japanese soldiers around the wall of fire were instantly smashed to pieces. The shrapnel cut down more people like sugar cane, and the screams almost suppressed the loud explosion. Such a tragic scene made all the daimyo's faces turn pale.The furious Shimadzu Nurishi wanted to ride his horse to rush out, but was desperately held back by Kawayama Koko, who almost begged, "General, calm down! It's useless even if you push all your troops up now, it's not at all. There is no way to break through the defense line of the Ming army, and attacking across the board will only lead to the death of more warriors in vain!"

Shimadzu roared furiously: "Despicable Minggou, I'm going to kill them, I'm going to kill them, ah——"

All the big names rushed up and somehow managed to drag Shimazu back.Just kidding, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Japanese army's soldiers are blunt and their morale is confused. Even if they press the whole line, they may not be able to break through the defense line of the Ming army. It is the guarantee of their strength, how can they let this boy from the Shimadzu family squander it in vain!Being dragged by everyone, Shimadzu struggled furiously, unable to vent his anger, he swung his knife and slashed at a horse in a rage, chopping the poor horse until it was bloody and bloody. He hissed sadly in the pool of blood.

The current situation on the battlefield cannot be changed by killing a war horse. After venting his anger, Shimadzu Nushi gritted his teeth and ordered the troops to withdraw.The Japanese samurai who had been beaten out of their bodies retreated like an ebb tide. The crossbow arrows were like locusts chasing them. I don’t know how many people were shot in the back by the crossbow arrows when they retreated. They fell to the ground and never climbed up again. stand up.

The Ming army did not pursue them. After the Japanese army escaped a hundred meters away, the terrifying crossbows stopped firing. However, the Japanese army continued to escape as if there were vicious dogs chasing and biting them on the back. Their heels hit the back of their heads. For a mile, they didn't stop until they were sure that the Ming army was not chasing them. They collapsed to the ground like deflated rubber balls, breathing heavily. No matter how much the officers scolded and cursed them, they were unwilling to stand up again. See It seemed that it was impossible for the Japanese army to go into battle and fight in a short period of time. In addition, it was getting late and it was really not suitable to continue fighting. The Japanese army retreated and set up camp angrily, making fires to cook, and preparing to fight again tomorrow.

The Ming army was full of joy, the tiger soldiers remained calm, and the labor camp prisoners cheered loudly. Luo Laosan said cheerfully, "I didn't expect these people to be so easy to deal with. Beating them really feels like an adult bullying a child!"

Yuan Zongdi glared at this bastard, and said: "You know what a fart! If it weren't for the master Hou's ingenious deployment, he never gave the other party a chance to fight with us. At this time, we don't know how many brothers have lost their heads. , if you don’t believe me, look at those red hairs!”

The current situation of the Dutch is really bad. Hundreds of people have died under the Japanese samurai swords, and more and more Japanese samurai have entered their positions, and there are more and more spearmen who can provide strong protection for the entire army. The less they do, the more they continue to fight like this, they will collapse!Yang Menglong shook his head and waved his hand. Three hundred tiger soldiers put down their strong bows, picked up their tiger spears and rushed towards the Japanese samurai who were killing them.The Japanese samurai, who were capable of killing, swung their knives and slashed at these humanoid armored vehicles charging at high speed without thinking.
when!
The samurai sword slashed on the armor of the tiger soldier, bursting out a little bit of firepower. There were many white marks on the armor, and the blade of the samurai sword was rolled like a sausage. The whole sword was deformed and scrapped. The Japanese samurai sword was broken. The weakness of the weak armor is fully exposed in front of the heavy armor of the tiger soldiers.This knife did not cut through the heavy armor of the tiger soldiers, so they had no chance to swing the second knife. When their samurai swords swung down, the tiger spears also stabbed their chests. Let the Japanese samurai curl up into shrimps and instinctively grab the barrel of the gun with their hands. The tiger soldiers did not give them any chance to struggle. When they twisted the barrel of the gun, the blade of the gun rotated 180 degrees in their body, twisting their ribs and internal organs into pieces, and sealed off The last chance of life for the Japanese samurai.All the strength of the Japanese samurai was drained in an instant, his hands were loosened weakly, and the tiger gun was pulled out from their chests, bringing out a stream of bloody arrows. The Japanese samurai fell down like an empty sack, and he was completely dead before he fell to the ground up.Some tiger soldiers were more ruthless. They stabbed at the kidneys without stabbing the throat or the heart. The Japanese warrior who was stabbed just fell to the ground with a muffled grunt and passed out without any chance to struggle.Next, the tiger soldiers have two choices, one is to shoot the Japanese samurai who passed out from the pain and give him a good time; the other is to ignore him and let him lie there—————— If you ignore him, he will also die from excessive blood loss, and there will never be a chance to wake up, so why bother?The skills of the tiger soldiers were all explored in fighting fierce tigers and bears. Every movement has been integrated into their instincts. With one shot, life and death are judged. There is no unnecessary movement, and the indestructible armor is also They were given the privilege of attacking the enemy unscrupulously without worrying about being injured. The mere [-] tiger soldiers were even more fierce than the [-] Dutch infantry. They smashed the Japanese samurai into meatloaf with just one charge!

Seeing so many samurai with superb martial arts skills stabbed down by the tiger soldiers, and then stepped into a pulp, the Japanese general who commanded the battle knew that this battle could not be fought, and ordered the withdrawal of the troops angrily. The eyes of the Japanese samurai turned red, Want to continue desperately, but the unscrupulous and barbaric fighting style of the tiger soldiers is too terrifying. They looked at the samurai swords in their hands, and finally gave up this irrational idea. With a whistle, everyone took advantage of it. Before the tiger soldiers reached the front, they jumped over the parapet and retreated into Kagoshima city.The angry Dutch soldiers picked up their muskets and shot at these unreasonable Japanese samurai. The gunshots were like popping beans. Unfortunately, this kind of shooting lacked coordination and did not form a dense barrage. Only a few Japanese samurai were hit. Not much.

The tiger soldiers focused on clearing up the remnants of the enemy, and did not pursue them—even though the gate of Kagoshima was opened, and the Dutch army, which was a little scared by the Japanese samurai, did not pursue it. The current European army is not after the first industrial revolution. The invincible iron army that has been invincible all over the world, against the traditional Asian military powers that are also in the era of alternating hot and cold weapons, their advantage is not great, just more than 2000 exhausted soldiers, let them attack Lu'er in one go Daocheng, it's better to let them commit suicide.The Dutch vented all their anger on the wounded Japanese samurai. When they saw the wounded soldier moaning in a pool of blood, they gritted their teeth and surrounded them with spears, and even pulled out a Spanish scimitar to dismember him alive. The Japanese samurai Shouting to the sky, the tragic howl made the hairs stand on end.Colonel Mace roared repeatedly, then swung the sheathed command knife and slashed at the irrational soldiers, and finally called their souls back. Everyone threw away the muskets and spears, and sat on the ground panting.

Yang Menglong came over: "The beating was really brutal!" He bypassed the puddles of blood, came to Colonel Metz, and asked, "Colonel, how is the situation? Are there too many casualties?"

Colonel Metz was silent for half a minute before he let out a wry smile, pointed at the dead bodies all over the ground and said, "It's terrible, it's too tragic! In this confrontation, at least [-] of my soldiers were hacked to death or maimed by those lunatics." , if it happens again, my legion will lose its fighting power!"

There were 500 casualties in the battle. For a legion with only 3000 people, it was indeed a heavy casualty. Moreover, there were many experienced old officers in the casualty list. These officers were the backbone of the Dutch legion. After losing so much in the battle, Colonel Mace felt very distressed. He just wanted to enter Kagoshima City immediately and kill his mother!
