Liu Ren said: "That's true! We didn't expect it, but it also shows that Huang Guojun is a talent. Report back to the commander-in-chief!"
While Huang Guojun was busy directing the soldiers to build gun emplacements, Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was standing behind the railing, was so distressed that he could hardly breathe! Because those who rushed out just now were all samurai and elite ashigaru, and they were the backbone of the castle tower.
!It is impossible to defend the castle tower without them, especially when the opponent is constantly bombarded by cannons!
After much deliberation, he had no choice, but he understood one thing. It was impossible to defend Tsurunomaru without killing those six artillery pieces. So he made a desperate effort to organize the only remaining ashigaru, and also mobilized some of them.
Bows and arrows form a commando team, ready to destroy those artillery pieces under the cover of the archers!
The personnel formation was quickly completed. Before departure, Shimazu Yoshihiro personally walked under the castle tower and loudly said to the soldiers: "Everyone, if you can't destroy those countries that collapsed, Tsurunomaru will not be able to defend it! So!
The fate of my visit to the Shimazu family this time is up to you!"
After speaking, he bowed and saluted the soldiers heavily. You must know that the Japanese country has a very strict concept of hierarchy. As a superior, Shimazu Yoshihiro can bow to the soldiers, which is a great event! So!
The soldiers returned the salute one after another and expressed their determination to complete the mission. Each one of them was excited and expressed their willingness to devote their lives to the Shimazu family!
Seeing that morale had improved, Shimazu Yoshihiro waved his hand and said: "Open the door and let's go!"
The door was quickly opened, and the Ashigaru shouted loudly and rushed down the stone road. The archers following them began to throw feather arrows after rushing out for more than twenty steps. They were just able to throw the feather arrows at this distance.
That's the gun emplacement.
As a result, as soon as the arrows were fired and before they landed, the Ming army began to retreat in embarrassment, not even caring about the six artillery pieces buried on the ground!
Seeing this situation, Guo Zhankui and Liu Ren, who were watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, were shocked! Especially Guo Zhankui directly cursed: "Damn it, I just said he was a good man, and he retreated from the battle!"
Liu Ren also gritted his teeth and said: "Wait and see, don't draw conclusions now!"
Guo Zhankui said angrily: "What else are you looking at? You can't even look at it... huh?"
The reason why Guo Zhankui was so surprised was because the situation in front of him had changed! Because he could see that the soldiers who seemed to be retreating wildly in the warehouse were actually completely busy! If the mountain road was not too narrow, many soldiers could only retreat on the mountain.
Running up and down, you can see that their formation is not chaotic at all! This is a completely organized and planned retreat!
Seeing this, Guo Zhankui, no matter how stupid he was, wanted to understand what was going on. He clapped his hands and said, "You are really a clever guy!"
They saw the way here, but the Japanese did not! In their eyes, the Ming army was frightened by the arrow rain just now, and now they were frightened and fled as soon as they saw the thrown arrows, even the artillery
I can’t even care!
So the Ashigaru couldn't help but speed up their pace, shouting more courageously and rushing down! The archery team saw the Ming army retreating from a distance, and felt that it was the credit of their own arrows, so they shot the arrows even harder!
The distance between the two walls was not far, and the Japanese soldiers charged from a high position, much faster than on the ground, so soon someone rushed to the cannon!
This ashigaru rushed over, threw away the spear, and pushed hard on the cannon. The back half of the cannon was buried in the soil, and due to its own weight, it didn't move at all! At this time, other ashigaru also arrived one after another, and they saw
Immediately after his appearance, someone shouted: "Dig the soil! Dig the soil!"
So these Ashigaru people started to dig the soil around the artillery with their weapons. Although the soil was relatively soft, it was very laborious to dig without the tools. But in their excitement, they didn't do it at all.
I saw the Ming army standing still more than thirty steps away!
Although the terrain formation was uneven due to the mountainous terrain, some were high and some were low, it was definitely a formation that was conducive to shooting. Unsurprisingly, this uneven formation quickly fired the first round of volleys.
!Even when they fired the first round of volleys, the excited Japanese soldiers didn't even notice that the Ming army was already turning around to form a formation!
They were still digging the soil excitedly, and most of the cannon case had been exposed by digging faster. Give them a few more minutes, and they could push the cannon down the hillside!
But just when they were carried away with excitement, the Ming army's counterattack came! The hot lead bullets shot a row of blood flowers directly into the dense crowd! At a distance of about 30 steps, it is a bit of a stretch to say that the bullets were perfect.
It's too much, but the hit rate of up to 80% is definitely a terrible blow to the Japanese!
Seeing the casualties of their companions, the remaining Japanese finally woke up. Some were on defense, some wanted to attack, and some were trying to hurry up and throw down the artillery. It was a complete mess! 33??qxs??.???
?m
At that time, the second row, the third row and the fourth row fired volleys one after another, knocking down the Japanese who were in a mess one after another! Then the Ming army soldiers came back with muskets again! And more than half of the Japanese soldiers who were damaged were
He began to resist in panic.
Normally, most of the Japanese soldiers are ashigaru with long spears, which have advantages in weapons, and they are condescending, so they should be able to easily gain a great advantage. However, most of their soldiers have just fallen, and the remaining
The soldiers were timid before fighting! And when the opponent's densely packed bayonets came at them, they could only retreat step by step, exhausted!
But they were mixed with each other again, and the archery team behind them could only stare at it, unable to intervene at all! After a short hand-to-hand battle with the censor, more than a hundred Japanese soldiers escaped and less than twenty returned, and the rest were not
To be killed by a musket is to be picked to death by a bayonet! The archery team only fired two rounds of arrows to cover the escape of the remaining people, and nothing else was accomplished!
When the battle was over, Huang Guojun commanded the soldiers to regain the artillery position again, and the six artillery pieces buried in the soil were intact. The only thing they needed to do was to refill the soil dug up by the Japanese and clean the gun barrels.
.
So the last battle was basically a small plan by Huang Guojun to use artillery as bait to attract the opponent to attack, so as to eliminate the opponent's strength. The method is old-fashioned, but it works very well. Now Shimazu Yoshihiro only has some iron cannon ashigaru left in his hands.
