"Baga! It's the Zhejiang Army! The Zhejiang Army's iron cannons are sharp. Don't charge down. Give them a chance to show off their iron cannons! Stick close to the defenders, I'm sorry they don't dare to fire again! Once they fire, they will accidentally injure their friendly forces. They will bear the responsibility.
I can’t bear this responsibility! The stone steps are narrow, let them go up, ten steps away, the iron cannon has the final say, but within ten steps, the Japanese sword has the final say!"
The other half of the Japanese pirates on the top of the city were shocked and angry when they saw that their accomplices who had rushed down were wiped out in the blink of an eye. Some Japanese pirates yelled and wanted to go down to retrieve the situation. The little leader held up a Japanese knife and shouted loudly to stop.
Under the shouts of the little leader, the Japanese pirates stopped and shortened the distance between them and the defenders at the top of the city.
Only eight Japanese pirates held Japanese knives and fiercely faced the defenders at the top of the city. The rest of the Japanese pirates turned around and waited for the Zhejiang army to come up.
What a good opportunity. There are only eight Japanese pirates in front of you. If you chop them down, you can stab the Japanese pirates in the butt, causing the Japanese pirates to focus on one thing and not the other. They will be attacked from both sides...
However, such a great opportunity, the defenders at the city head failed to seize it. They were so frightened by the Japanese pirates that they did not dare to attack the Japanese pirates, for fear that the Japanese pirates would turn around and fight them again. Like the Japanese pirates, they were waiting for the Zhejiang army to come up.
Attack the Japanese pirates.
"Brothers, have you seen that the Japanese pirates who are like dogs have been frightened to the point of losing their courage? They stand still and dare not come down. Dogs that have lost their courage are just a matter of one knife. Come with me and go up and kill them."
!”
When Liu Dadao saw that the Japanese pirates above him were afraid to come down, he smiled and waved his hand, then charged forward with his knife in hand.
"Kill them!" a group of Zhejiang troops shouted, holding bayonets and following closely behind them in neat lines.
"Just like what you commanded in front of the city gate, the brothers in the front will engage the enemy, and the brothers in the back will take advantage of the cold and fire the guns. However, in order to avoid accidentally injuring the friendly troops at the top of the city, the brothers in the back will aim at the lower body of the Japanese pirates and hit me."
When he was about to rush to the Japanese pirates, Liu Dadao thought of the battle scene in front of the city gate and quickly gave an order.
"Dead, dead!"
"Kill!"
When the two sides encountered each other, they shouted with all their strength, and a fight broke out. Blood flowed down the narrow stone steps.
The Japanese pirates were indeed fierce, with high personal combat power. The Japanese swords in their hands were more conducive to close combat than bayonets, and they had the upper hand as soon as they engaged. The narrow stone steps limited the performance of the Zhejiang army's bayonet array, except for Liu Dadao, who could steadily suppress the opponent.
Except for the Japanese pirates, the rest of the Zhejiang army suffered heavy losses. They were suppressed by the Japanese pirates and were slashed several times by the Japanese pirates during the fight. Fortunately, their cotton armors had strong defensive power and they did not fall.
"Bang, bang bang, bang bang bang..."
During the fierce battle between the two sides, the Zhejiang Army's rear array fired cannons one after another, quickly helping the Zhejiang Army to even out its disadvantage.
The Japanese pirates are not like the Zhejiang army. Although they are skilled and powerful, they do not have armor and stomach protection. In order to disguise themselves as the Ming army, they only wear the ordinary cotton uniforms of the Ming army, and their defense power is extremely low.
In front of the gunfire, they almost wear armor, and a lead bullet can make a bloody hole appear in them.
Of course, due to Liu Dadao's order to target the lower body of the Japanese pirates, most of the Japanese pirates who were shot were shot themselves. There was even an unlucky Japanese pirate who was beaten by a lead bullet...
"Damn it, the treacherous Zhejiang Army, the insidious Zhejiang Army, are just staring down to fight. Are they making us eunuchs in our next life?!"
"The shameless Zhejiang Army has the guts to challenge us one-on-one. What kind of hero is it to hide behind and use cold guns?"
Under the cold blows of the Zhejiang army, the Japanese pirates fell down one after another. This made all the Japanese pirates who had not yet fallen feel in danger. They even clamped their legs and couldn't help but shrink back when they started fighting with the Zhejiang army.
This greatly reduced the combat power of the Japanese pirates, and the Zhejiang army armed with bayonets gradually went from a disadvantage to a stalemate and then to the upper hand.
"Brothers above, why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and attack the Japanese pirates from both front and back with us!"
"We are here to support you, but you have the nerve to watch like a bitch from above?!"
During the fight, some Zhejiang troops were dissatisfied and shouted at the defenders at the top of the city, "We are all fighting with the Japanese pirates, but you are still cowering up there, gesticulating with your weapons, and gesturing to the Japanese pirates like little girls!"
"This is a bunch of rubbish. I'll charge you. The Zhejiang army has already wiped out half of the Japanese pirates. There are only a few Japanese pirates left. What are you afraid of? If anyone dares to move forward, I will punish you severely!"
"The heavy reward I promised before is still valid! Go forward and kill the Japanese pirates to get the reward, but you will not move forward and you will be severely punished!"
Magistrate Shang behind the city couldn't bear it any longer and cursed fiercely at the Ming army at the city.
Magistrate Shang punished heavily with one hand and rewarded heavily with the other, and the Zhejiang army attacked fiercely below. The defenders at the top of the city finally had the courage to fight against the Japanese pirates. Although they were still timid, they were able to contain some of the Japanese pirates.
Originally, there were only over a hundred Japanese pirates left. In addition to the fact that the Zhejiang Army's cold guns had just killed another twenty or thirty Japanese pirates, there were now less than ninety Japanese pirates still standing on the stone steps.
The garrison at the top of the city contained about 30 Japanese pirates, and only about 50 Japanese pirates were left to fight against the Zhejiang army.
It was difficult for the Zhejiang army to break through with their bayonets, and they were all wearing cotton armor, just like hedgehogs. Although the Japanese pirates had excellent individual combat capabilities, they still couldn't deal with the Zhejiang army for a while.
Although the Zhejiang Army's individual combat capabilities are not as good as those of the Japanese pirates, the Zhejiang Army is well organized and disciplined. It makes up for its shortcomings in individual combat with its collective combat and equipment advantages, and is not at a disadvantage against the Japanese pirates.
The cold guns of the Zhejiang Army were like hidden poisonous snakes, and almost every time the gun sounded, it could take away a Japanese pirate.
The front row resisted the Japanese pirates and fired cold muskets. The Zhejiang army, which originally had no advantage, used this combat mode to firmly occupy the stone steps.
Take initiative on the battlefield.
The little leader of the Japanese pirates was a real Japanese, strong in combat, ferocious and vicious. Not only did he fight with Liu Dadao without losing, he even kicked a Zhejiang soldier to the ground with a cold kick, and knocked down the soldiers behind him again and again.
Retreating, the bayonet array in the front row was almost in chaos.
"To deal with the Japanese pirates, don't use martial arts. Just use some firecrackers, aim at this dog-like guy, and fire! Kill him!"
Liu Dadao saw that he could not quickly deal with the Japanese pirate leader, so he quickly shouted, calling for the Zhejiang army behind him to open fire and kill him.
Before the Japanese pirate leader had time to dodge, he was hit by several fire muskets. This little leader was also a ruthless man. When he was about to die, he wanted to drag Liu Dadao with him, and he planned to jump down with Liu Dadao in his arms.
However, how could he be Liu Dadao's opponent with several fire blunderbuss in his body? The moment he rushed towards him, Liu Dadao handed over the knife in his hand and sent him to the west with one blow...
After the small Japanese pirate leader was eliminated, the remaining Japanese pirates were leaderless, accelerating their demise.
Soon, there were only eight Japanese pirates left on the stone steps.
"Surrender, surrender..."
One Japanese pirate took the lead and threw down his Japanese sword. After surrendering, the remaining seven Japanese pirates also surrendered.
