"Bah! Bah! Bah..."

This is a real rain of bullets!

Standing among a group of dwarf warriors, Masayuki Hoshina, who stood out from the crowd, just stared blankly at the dense muzzle flashes that kept appearing on his left wing, and listened to the continuous sound of gunfire.

Masayuki Hosuka, who is also familiar with the use of iron cannons, never thought that the fire cannon soldiers could be arranged so densely, almost shoulder to shoulder! He never thought that the firing rate of fire cannons could be so fast, almost faster than that of Japan The shotgun soldiers are twice as fast! I changed the name to think that the infantry can move so fast...

On the battlefield, it is always fast to fight against slow!

Being fast is your combat power, while being slow is your fatal weakness!

Now they are taking the lives of the Japanese under Hoshina! Hoshina's two Senrenban were really unlucky and were completely caught off guard.

This change came so suddenly!

When the Ming army's artillery soldiers quickly detoured to their left flank, before they even had time to report the situation to Baoke, dense rain of lead bullets hit them.

At this time, the two thousand-man squadrons were facing the Ming army's large square formation, and not a single iron cannon was pointed at their left flank.

After these two rounds of intensive bullets, the two thousand-man Japanese soldiers had suffered heavy losses. Especially the iron artillerymen on the far left almost wiped out a large area. More than 200 corpses fell to the ground, and several more. Ten people screamed hoarsely.

"The 12th and 13th chapters are coming...turn to the left and launch an assault!" Masayuki Yasukina hadn't actually figured out what was going on, but he still made a considerable move immediately. A decisive decision - he was prepared to sacrifice two thousand-man squadrons to buy time for his main force to adjust its deployment.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality requires science!

Wearing armor and holding a spear to charge at the fusiliers who outnumber you is very difficult to succeed... because the flexibility and mobility of the pikemen are not as good as the fusiliers. If you use slow to hit fast, How to get it?

As for the iron artillerymen who acted together with the Japanese pikemen, it was even worse. The rate of fire of the iron artillery was completely incomparable with that of the flintlock rifle.

And because the iron cannon is a matchlock gun, the matchlock will produce some sparks during the burning process, and these sparks may ignite the gunpowder pools of other musketeers' muskets when they are scattered. Therefore, the distance between the matchlock soldiers cannot be too small. , in this way, the matchlock soldiers have to maintain a certain distance between themselves, and the firepower density is of course far less than that of the flintlock gun.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, in a firepower contest between a flintlock gun and a matchlock gun, the flintlock gun has a great chance of winning.

However, when Hoshina's order was conveyed to the two thousand-man band, the Japanese army, which had already endured several rounds of bullets, still bravely launched an attack!

Amidst the shouts of "kill me", the sound of volleys of gunfire continued, knocking down the Japanese soldiers who were charging desperately, row by row.

But the remaining Japanese soldiers were still brave and fearless, shouting and continuing to attack!

However, six 3-pound cannons were already in place at this time, and they began to fire cannonballs at the Japanese who were about to rush forward.

Of course, the shotshells of the 3-pound cannon cannot be compared with the shotshells of the 12-pound cannon, but it still became the "last" straw that crushed the two Japanese thousand-man squadrons.

"Baga! These useless guys..."

When Masayuki Hoshina saw that his two thousand-man squadrons were defeated by the enemy with muskets and cannons in such a short period of time, he immediately became furious. So he wanted to order the remaining eight thousand-man squadrons to turn together.

, reorganize the two large horizontal teams, and then go back to the field.

However, the Spanish square formation is not very flexible. How can it be so easy to change the formation? As a result, before the eight divisions under Hoshina completed their left turn, the other two thousand-man divisions on the left flank of the two large horizontal formations became

A living target for the Ming army's fusiliers and artillery!

The performance of these two thousand-man squadrons was not much better than the previous two. Under the attack of intensive crossfire from the Ming army, these two squadrons also launched a life-threatening assault that was destined to be unsuccessful.

.As a result, it quickly collapsed under the combined attack of cannons, flintlocks, and matchlocks (the matchlocks could still be advanced).

"Four, four Thousand Persons...we were defeated so quickly!"

Hoshina Masayuki couldn't believe his eyes. The Ming army was too cruel!

I am afraid that Japan cannot defeat such an enemy and should not provoke it... But what should we do now?

Just when he was in great shock, a drumming sound came from his left side. This was the sound of marching drums. The Ming Army Musketeers, who had just defeated the four divisions of Baoshi, began to charge!

"The third and fourth divisions will attack the Ming army..." Hoshina Masayuki did not give up and gave orders to the other two divisions.

The two groups of Japanese troops who received the order were really ferocious. They ignored the lessons learned from the previous four groups and rushed forward without hesitation.

"Haha, it's really fierce, but it's useless!" Zhu Youjian immediately stood behind two rows of temporary fusiliers, surrounded by dozens of horsemen. He was in a good mood and said to Heiwen Tao beside him, "Send the order.

..... Let the 7th and 8th regiments stop advancing, wait until the enemy is 20 steps closer, fire another round of volley, and then launch a bayonet charge!"

"I accept the decree!"

...

"Rumble..."

2,000 flintlock guns fired at the same time, which actually made the earth shake. At the same time, it also ended Masayuki Hoshina's last effort to reverse the defeat - his two thousand-man squadrons were defeated again!

"Retreat, retreat..." Masayuki Hoshina's face was pale and his voice was trembling, but he rarely made the right decision.

However, Baoke did not retreat directly to the north. Instead, he was forced to retreat westward by Zhu Youjian's more than 2,000 fusiliers. Not far after retreating, he ran into the furious Daishan!

Daishan's luck was better than that of Hoshina Masayuki. The 8,000 Manchurian soldiers commanded by his son Mandahai were not repelled by Wu Sangui, but were stalemate at the breach. Because Daishan continued to invest troops, the breach was greatly expanded.

, nearly 20,000 people from both sides fought together there.

So many guards and cavalry were dispatched, but none of them were able to capture a similar number of Ming troops, and they could only be considered an average level. Could Daishan not be anxious?

What made him even more anxious was the defeat of Masayuki Hoshina!

Once Baoke is defeated, his left wing will be empty, and then the Ming army will have to eat his old man's dumplings!

"Lord Hoshina, you will not retreat without Benama's order...Do you understand?"

Daishan tried his best to speak a language that Baoke could understand.

Hoshina Masayuki still respects Daishan very much - he is the emperor!

"Your Majesty," Hoshina said loudly in Japanese, "Times have changed... The pure musketeers of the Ming army are too powerful. We can't stop them at all. If we don't retreat, the entire army will be annihilated...

Your Majesty, please withdraw too. It will be too late if you don’t!"

"Should I withdraw too?" Daishan smiled bitterly, "Where to withdraw?"

Baoke was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Daishan seemed to have nowhere to go!

However, he would not say anything more to Daishan. He just bowed to the "Shang Huang Daishan" on horseback and continued to run away with the Japanese soldiers. He then threw off Daishan's personal soldiers and became the emperor's soldiers.

Baoke could run, but Daishan could not. His son Mandahai was still fighting to the death with eight thousand men in front!

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the 800 cavalrymen as if they were preparing to charge, to scare the Ming army who was chasing the Japanese.

At the same time, Man Dahai "discovered" "Zhu Youjian" in the golden helmet in the breach!

This "Zhu Youjian" looked quite powerful. He led a group of cavalry and wandered back and forth on the battlefield. If something was in danger, he would lead his men up to provide support.

And wherever he went, the nearby Ming army became a little high-spirited. It was obvious that this person was Zhu Youjian!

Man Dahai already had two blunderbuss in his hand and dozens of white-armored soldiers. He just stared at that "Zhu Youjian".
Chapter completed!
