But just when they were feeling lucky to be hiding behind the wall, the landing point of the Japanese archers on the opposite side changed and began to shift to the left and right sides! Because except for the seriously injured people lying in the open space and unable to move, everyone else had already
It dispersed, and shooting arrows into the gap would be a waste of arrows and energy, so the officer in charge decisively changed the target!
Just when the soldiers behind the wall were still rejoicing, arrows rained down from their heads again! Some of the arrows fell inside the wall, but almost half of the arrows fell outside the wall! These arrows caused quite a few
casualties!
The soldiers didn't expect that the other side had the ability to projectile, so when the arrows fell almost vertically from the sky, the wall couldn't stop them at all! Immediately, one soldier was shot in the neck and fell to the ground, and ten others fell to the ground.
Several people were hit by arrows in their shoulders, arms or thighs!
Huang Guojun was one of the first troops ordered to attack, and he himself was also outside the wall. When the first round of feather arrows fell and sprayed blood in the crowd, he knew something was wrong! He immediately shouted loudly: "Disperse,
Spread out! Get out all the people behind you! Take all the wounded and corpses away, and those standing close to the wall don’t move!” 33??qxs??.????m
The junior officer quickly passed on his order, and the soldiers who were leaning outside immediately withdrew along the mountain road, and some soldiers quickly followed them carrying the wounded and dead bodies. During the whole process, they were also attacked by the Japanese.
It takes three rounds of shooting before the arrow is out of the range of the bow and arrow!
Seeing the Ming army retreating, the extremely excited Shimazu Yoshihiro leaned out from the railing and shouted an order: "Order the samurai to attack!"
The samurai and elite ashigaru who were already prepared immediately opened the door excitedly and rushed down! Their purpose was to destroy those artillery pieces! And destroying these artillery pieces was quite simple, just push them along the hillside!
The cannon will deform when it hits the mountain, and there is absolutely no chance of it firing again!
But just when they were twenty or thirty steps closer to the artillery, a group of people suddenly appeared from behind the wall! Before they could stand still, they fired a volley at the Japanese. Although it was very irregular, the ones running at the front were
The three samurai were beaten backwards and fell over. Several people behind them were also injured and fell to the ground!
This group of Ming soldiers did not leave after firing the cannons. Instead, they squatted on the ground and took out a bayonet from their waists and stuck it on the mouth of the cannon. Another group of people rushed over from behind the wall and stood behind them and fired a volley!
This time the volley was closer and more effective, knocking down seven people directly! If the mountain road was not narrow, these Japanese soldiers could only rush down along the mountain road and inadvertently formed a column, otherwise there would be more casualties!
But when they reached this point, it was no longer possible to retreat. They could only roar and continue to charge! But the Ming army soldiers behind the wall seemed to be endless. They rushed out and fired the muskets, and then squatted on the ground and jammed the muskets.
bayonet!
After the Ming army fired five rounds of volleys, the Japanese had killed and injured more than thirty people! Finally, no Ming soldiers rushed out from behind the wall. This made the remaining Japanese breathe a sigh of relief and gathered more strength to rush down the mountain.
!But those Ming army soldiers were already ready to counterattack. Under the command of their officers, they stood up and rushed towards the Japanese soldiers!
In close combat, the swordsman was no match for the bayonet-mounted musket! The first batch of Japanese were without any accident penetrated by the bayonet extended far away! These Japanese, full of sacrifice, also tried to use their own bodies
The opponent's bayonet was stuck, but the well-trained fire gun soldiers subconsciously left one person to hold on to the dying man, while the others drew out their bayonets and fought again!
The only thing that is evenly matched with the fire gun soldiers is some of the spear ashigaru! Their weapons are slightly longer than the fire gun soldiers, but their number is too small, and they still hate it in the face of the dense bayonet bushes! So far, dozens of people have rushed out.
The entire Japanese army was wiped out! This included more than 30 scribes and more than 40 sage ashigaru. Now, most of the core force guarding Tsurunomaru were killed!
Shimazu Yoshihiro looked pale when he saw this scene, but he still ordered the archers to launch two rounds of missiles. After killing all the opponents, the fire gun soldiers quickly retreated behind the wall without causing any damage!
After this round of offensive and defensive battles ended, both sides suffered losses. After the fire gunners withdrew to the wall, the officers began a preliminary inventory and found that more than 20 people were killed, more than 20 people were seriously injured and unable to fight, and more than 40 people were slightly injured.
This result made Liu Ren and Guo Zhankui furious! There were not so many casualties in a face-to-face fight, but the damage was so great on a wall!
But Liu Haojia is very confident! He knows that if a team really wants to mature, it needs constant beating, and in the process of beating, human life is the price! So he comforted the two people and said: "We are not attacking
Based on the experience of the castle tower, it is inevitable that there will be some casualties in this situation. But it should not happen the second time the same problem occurs! Remember this time as an example! Okay, seize the time to reorganize the attack!"
Then Liu Haojia turned to the servant and said: "Remember, we still need a group of sword and shield soldiers in our team."
When he established the Wu'an Army, he based it on the early Western firearms armies, and the target was also directed at the Spanish Grand Square. There was no position for sword and shield soldiers in the Spanish Grand Square, so he did not set it up. But in actual combat,
Only then did he truly discover that sword and shield soldiers were also indispensable!
In the era of cold weapons in the West, there was naturally a demand for sword and shield soldiers, but when firearms appeared on the scene, the existence of sword and shield soldiers became more and more embarrassing! One of the most critical issues is that in the early Western wars
I never had a street fight when I was young!
When the two sides confront each other, they usually fight in the wild. Since both sides are mercenaries, once one side fails, the personnel will flee directly, and the city behind them will naturally be within easy reach, so there is no need for street fighting.
But things are different here in the East. When the two sides are fighting, street fighting is also a common way of fighting, often from outside the city to the city! Therefore, sword and shield soldiers are of great use in street fighting, and this is
One of the differences between East and West!
Liu Ren and Guo Zhankui collected a lot of shields and wooden planks and sent them to the front line, only to find that Huang Guojun was organizing people to withdraw the artillery! Seeing this scene, Guo Zhankui was the first to react. He slapped his thigh and said: "We are really fucking
You are so stupid, you are just thinking about finding something to block the arrows, instead of thinking that the range of artillery is much longer than that of bows and arrows, as long as we retreat a little, it will be fine!"
