Chapter 633 Greed for petty gains

Okamura Nishizo and Takeda Aurora rushed out of the city with 10,000 riflesmen, and chased after the Ming army that were retreating. The Ming army ran very fast and ran out of nowhere in a while. Because their movements were too slow, the Ming army transported away everything that should have been clouded. There were only some left on the ground, with advanced rifles and more than a dozen submachine guns that were powerful and powerful that were unprecedented in Japan. After grabbing them in their hands, they loved them like treasures, laughing and jumping on the spot, screaming.

What is even more gratifying is that the soldiers in front actually picked up a cannon that they had no time to take away when they picked up a Ming army convoy. Although there were no shells in the barrel, they looked quite powerful, which was definitely a great achievement. They just saw the power of these cannons with their own eyes, and many brothers exploded to ashes as soon as they appeared.

The Japanese soldiers screamed, like the Trojans dragging the Trojans, dragging the huge silver spoils into the city and pulled them to the front of Ashikaga Volcano and Takeda Aurora. When the two saw this Shenwu cannon, they were surprised and walked over to touch them at the same time. Takeda Aurora said: "The quality of this cannon is much better than the ones sold to us by those Rakshasa ghosts. No wonder the Ming Dynasty called them Rakshasa Kingdom. It was indeed a black-hearted thing. They actually sold the subsidy as the best goods to us. It was clearly a modern weapon that bullies us not understand!"

In fact, Takeda Aurora was only half right. The weapons sold to them by the Russians were counterfeit and shoddy products, which was absolutely fine. However, the Russians had never seen the weapons of the Ming Dynasty, because this weapon was advanced by the entire era for hundreds of years. Takeda Aurora was of course amazing and couldn't let go of it.

"Okay, with these modern weapons, we won't have to be afraid of the Ming army's attack tomorrow. We can use their weapons and deal with them in turn, hahaha." Ashikaga Volcano held a submachine gun in his hand, and laughed wildly. Wutian Ji suddenly said, "No, this thing seems to be useless at all. Two generals, come and have a look. There are no shells in this cannon, and there are no bullets in those guns. It seems that when the Ming army fled, they were afraid that these weapons with the initiative would fall on our hands and destroy them in advance. What should I do?!"

"What does this matter? Wu Tianji, you have long hair and short knowledge, and you are a little too unsightly. Although there are no shells in his cannon, we can load them with our shells. Although there are no bullets in their submachine guns, we can also load our bullets in. It's no big deal."

"Haha, hehe," Wu Tianji suddenly shrugged her beautiful shoulders and pointed her slender hand: "Look, the bullets used by the Ming Dynasty are not the same as the bullets used by us. The bullets they use are water droplets, but we use round marbles. Look at the shells, they are also water droplets, but we use cast iron shells, which are not suitable at all and cannot be fired. I think, the two generals' wishful thinking will be vanished soon."

Takeda Aurora and Ashikaga Volcano were stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "It seems that this is really the case, what should I do?" Takeda Aurora suddenly said, "Yes, I have a good solution. In fact, this matter is really not complicated at all. We will seize some of their bullets and shells tomorrow while the Ming army retreats. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? The general said right?!"

Ashikaga Volcano slapped the cannon and said, "Just seizing some things is not our purpose. Our purpose is to be able to produce such powerful weapons by ourselves. If one day we can produce such things, then we will definitely take back all the lost land."

Takeda Aurora nodded and said, "So, what we have to do now is to seize some spoils. Only in this way can we thoroughly study these things. The person who came asked our blacksmiths and craftsmen to come over and ask them to study how these things were made?!"

Because the historical span is too large, the knowledge difference is 100,000. The Astronomy Network model is placed here for them to study for fifty years, and it is impossible to create a similar Shenwu cannon. This is very certain. Ashikaga Volcano thinks he is very smart, but in fact he is just self-righteous.

At this time, Yi Tusheng was still practicing in the tent while nightfall. From time to time, the beautiful sound of spring was heard from the tent. The soldiers guarding outside didn't know what the prince had practiced, and even told anyone not to enter the tent.

Early the next morning, the four men of the Ming army continued to advance to the city as planned, while Yi Tusheng was still whimpering in the coach's tent and singing wonderful songs.

When Ashikaga Volcano stood at the top of the city, he saw the Ming army coming with a clear flag. He was suddenly a little happy and thought to himself that this was clearly a way to send me weapons. When they retreated, I could make a fortune again. So when he came up, he asked the soldiers guarding the city and the conservatives to fight, with the purpose of making the Ming army exhausted and insufficient shells, and then they would withdraw. So the battle was very ambiguous and not fierce at all.

At noon, the Ming army was about to be hungry, and only a gong sounded from the rear. The soldiers immediately retreated faster than yesterday. This time, Ashikaga Volcano learned his lesson, so he could not let the Ming army retreat so easily. He wanted to put some pressure on the Ming army to let them lose more things.

The Ming army had just turned around and shouted loudly from the top of the city. Countless Japanese soldiers broke out and came to kill. The Ming army was retreating naturally could not resist. After running out with weapons for three miles, they all abandoned their weapons and continued to move forward. Now they lost a thousand rifles mixed with submachine guns. The cannon alone was captured by three gates. Those Japanese soldiers were simply dancing back.

But after they returned, after the inspection by the quarantine officer, they were stunned. Although these weapons were a little better than the previous batch, there were few bullets inside, with less than ten rounds in total and two shells.

For Ashikaga Volcano, this progress is also good. It is much stronger than the last time. Not only did it not scold the soldiers, but it was rewarded with great rewards. Not only did it mean that each person rewarded them with a chicken leg for lunch, encouraging them to be noble character of just picking up money.

"The Ming army will go to have dinner. It seems that they also realized that the one in front of them is a strong city, which cannot be conquered overnight. We probably have to prepare for a protracted war. I think there is something wrong with that Ikawa Ryu. It is not good to let him defend the city alone. Okamura Nishizo was a very smart and central person just now. I think he would replace Ikawa Ryu to guard the South City Gate, and let Ikawa Ryu serve this kid as a deputy general." Ashikaga Volcano said.

Takeda Aurora originally wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he decided to let it go. In fact, he was half-believing and half-doubted about Ryu Ikawa and Okamura Nishizo. However, there was no general in the city. Mr. Tomahawk was guarding the west gate. The one who guarded the east gate was a new leader who survived the Inari Society. He was very clever in martial arts.

"I think these Ming Dynasty people may have won too many battles in the Japanese region, so they would not take us seriously at all. They are careless every day when they come here to fight. Originally, the general's intention was to wait until they relaxed and find an opportunity to kill them in one fell swoop, but now I have changed my mind. I will slowly collect their weapons, haha, and turn them into my own."

Takeda Aurora said: "I fully agree with the strategy mentioned by the general, but I want to explain some tactical issues in front of me. We only found weapons but could not find bullets. I think it was because we did not find their military supplies. When fighting, the military supplies and grain supplies were generally at the end. On the one hand, it was because they were heavy, and on the other hand, it was because they were afraid of the enemy's sneak attacks. So if we want to chase them out this time, we should not take those weapons, but rushed directly to the military supplies in front, and we would definitely get a lot of gains."

Ashikaga Volcano stroked his beard and praised: "The Takeda army really has the style of being a ancestral master. I am afraid that he will become the number one military strategist in Japan in the future, haha." Takeda Aurora hurriedly modest: "The general is really a joke. What kind of virtue is Takeda Aurora? One day you can become a military strategist, you will never have anyone else except the general."
