Chapter 190: Matsumae Attack and Defense Battle (2)
Seeing that there was already a fight on the pier, the sailor in charge of the assault boat turned the handle and drove the boat very fast.
On the shore, the warriors hiding in the shelter have roughly understood that the opponent's ship is too big to dock, and it can transport up to ten people ashore at a time. If these are rapid-fire guns, they can't beat anything.
.Now we can only take advantage of the opponent's small number of people and unstable foothold, and rush over to repel the enemy at the risk of casualties.
After thinking about this, the warrior leader ordered his men to dismantle the door panels of each courtyard, and ordered people to quickly go to the market to find two large eight-carts (wooden hand-pushed flatbed trucks, literally meaning that one car can be worth eight
Personal ability.)
After the men got the door panels and the truck, the warriors first used ropes and wooden frames to tie the four door panels tightly around the body, then spread two layers of quilts outside and wet them with water. Two archers stood behind the door panels.
, four people were arranged to push the cart forward, and the rest hid behind the cart to act as death squads. When approaching the enemy, the archers relied on door panels and wet quilts to block the enemy's musket fire, and at the same time fired cold arrows to disturb the enemy's sight. After the cart approached desperately, they hid
The death squads behind the car immediately rushed out. In addition, other archers and iron gunners fired cold arrows from hidden locations such as on the roof and behind the house.
While the warriors were busy preparing, Sea Dog and eight other people were loading bullets into their pistols.
Because of Fang Hua, the chemistry teacher, Beihai Town has already realized the production of nitrocellulose paper. Therefore, Sea Dog and the others load paper-packed fixed-load ammunition, which increases the loading speed to a certain extent.
Sea Dog first took out the paper-packed fixed-loading bullets from the cowhide box on his left waist. These paper-packed bullets were composed of 1.6 grams of black powder and 5.2-gram spherical lead bullets. He first put a fixed-loading bullet into the
The chamber of the round magazine, and then used the folding depressing rod under the barrel to press the bullet into the magazine, and then rotated the magazine, repeating the same action five times. Finally, he pressed the bullet from the right waist
I took out a handful of flash caps from the cowhide box and put them one by one on the anvil at the rear of the magazine.
For Beihai Town, if the Type 84 revolver is exported in the future, it only needs to strictly control the number of flash caps and nitrified paper. Even if someone can imitate the revolver, it is useless without the flash cap. Don’t forget, in this era, single-barrel firing is still required
In the age of guns, they all had smoothbore barrels.
After the two guns were loaded with bullets, the sea dog had an idea, bent down and ran to the two dead companions, took the four guns and the ammunition from the other party, and began to install the ammunition.
While pressing the bullet, he looked back at the sea. The assault boat had stopped by the gangway of the Thor, and the next group of soldiers were quickly boarding the ship.
"Seal dogs! They're coming up!" The companion's low cry brought the seal dogs' attention back. Two strange carts came out from behind a house, and the four warriors standing on them stood with their bows and arrows ready, "Whoosh"
With a sound, a heavy arrow flew past the sea dog's hat.
Immediately afterwards, there was a "bang" not far away, and a companion was hit by the iron gunner on the roof. He vomited blood and fell to the ground.
"Fuck your mother! Baga! Stupid bird!" The sea dog opened his mouth angrily and cursed, ranging from Mandarin to island dialect to Ainu. He put down the pistol that was being loaded, grabbed another one and shot
After the archery warrior on the cart saw it, he hurriedly ducked and hid behind the door panel.
Perhaps because of the distance, several "Boom" shots were fired, and blackened bullet holes appeared on the door panel covered with wet quilts, with smoke rising.
The samurai hiding behind the door panel was surprised to find that he was fine. He excitedly shouted to his companions following behind the big eight car: "It can't be penetrated! It can't be penetrated!"
All the warriors and civilians cheered in unison, and their morale was high. The civilians began to push the big cart desperately, rushing towards the position of Sea Dog and the others. When they were still thirty steps away from Sea Dog and others, they followed
Dozens of samurai behind the big eight carts appeared with a shout, holding one or two spears and stabbing.
(The total length of the spear in the island country is not long. One is equivalent to the current 1.8 meters. The most common length is three and a half, which is about 2 to 3 meters long. Generally, 2 and a half meters are the most common. In special circumstances, it is enough
Qingye uses an extra-long bamboo gun handle of five to six meters, the longest is 10 meters.)
Sea Dog and the others were dodging back and forth while shooting at the charging samurai. The stasis effect of the .36-caliber lead bullet was quite good. Basically, anyone who was shot in the torso would be knocked down with one shot; let alone Sea Dog and the others.
A dozen is at least two shots.
It's just that there are too many people on the other side, and Sea Dog and the others only have eight people. After a while of fighting, the bullets in the other people's guns have been used up. These Ainu warriors deserved to be trained like crazy in Beihai Town for several months. They picked up
A spear or samurai sword fell on the ground, and a bloody hand-to-hand battle began.
They didn't care, and when they found an enemy, they would kill them. The surrounding warriors and civilians were frightened by the behavior of these people like mad dogs, and they hesitated and did not dare to attack.
The leading samurai saw the approaching clippers on the sea in the distance. He raised his samurai sword and ordered the others: "Hit them one by one and kill them! Quick!"
"Ha!" A group of warriors and civilians didn't care, and shouted and surrounded them. Several spears were thrust out at the same time, and three more Ainu warriors were killed.
On the other side, the revolver in Sea Dog's right hand ran out of bullets, and he threw it hard at an oncoming warrior, hitting him in the face. The warrior was burned by the hot barrel and screamed, his face
Suddenly there was a blood-red mark on his face.
Sea Dog was about to take out another pistol when he saw a flash of cold light from the opposite side, and the head of a spear more than a foot long was stabbed at his chest.
The seal screamed, shrunk back, and rolled out a long way with some somersaults. Taking advantage of the opportunity of rolling, he already had the gun in his hand and fired several shots at the warriors who rushed up. Waiting for those few
The warrior fell down after being shot. The sea dog pointed the gun at the leader of the warrior with a ferocious smile and pulled the trigger.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Click~" The magazine rotated and made an empty sound. "Oops!" The sea dog muttered something bad, dropped the revolver in his hand, and was about to pick up the long gun on the ground.
After a hand-to-hand fight, there was a dense sound of gunfire from behind. The sound of gunfire was completely different from the sound of a Type 84 revolver. More than a dozen of the warriors in front of him fell quickly.
"A bunch of stupid birds!" the sea dog shouted, holding up a two-chambered gun, chasing the fleeing warriors and stabbing them randomly. From time to time, a panicked civilian was stabbed in the calf by him and fell to the ground screaming.
On the Thor, Deng Fei stood on the compass deck and held up his binoculars. He looked at the sea dog chasing the escaped warrior alone on the pier in the distance, and cursed: "What a mad dog!"
If he hadn't noticed in time that Sea Dog and the others were in critical condition, and if he hadn't sent out a squad under Rikichi, none of the ten Ainu warriors who landed first would have survived; if it weren't for the fact that this time he came to occupy rather than destroy, Matsumae
The city was still left to Tuka, so Deng Fei had already ordered the artillery fire.
Deng Fei put down his telescope and ordered Pan Xiucheng on the walkie-talkie: "This group of Ainu people can't do it! Your troops will land first and occupy the dock. Remember, those sampans must be kept, we have to use them to
Transporting people ashore. Finished!”
"Yes! Occupy the dock and protect the ship! Over!"
An hour later, Pan Xiucheng finally saw the sea dog covered in blood on the dock. The medical soldier was about to bandage him, but he could not find any wounds on his body. The man showed his big yellow teeth and said nonchalantly: "I didn't
Injured, hurry up and save my brother!"
After this hand-to-hand battle, seven of the ten people died, two were seriously injured, and only the sea dog was alive and kicking. Pan Xiucheng shook his head with a wry smile, and then ordered people to release smoke flares.
Seeing blue smoke rising in the dock area, Deng Fei ordered other Ainu warriors to board the boats and go ashore. As more and more Ainu warriors landed, the dozen or so small morning boats moored in the port
All are used to transport people ashore.
On the compass deck, the drone quickly rose and headed in the direction of Matsumae Castle. Deng Fei saw on the screen that the warriors of Matsumae Domain had all withdrawn into the city. There were figures shaking in several double oars, and there were obviously people.
Archers or iron gunners were hiding inside. Behind the gate of the castle, a dozen mounted warriors with helmets and armor were gathering, followed by a group of pikemen and archers on foot.
The temple on the hilltop on the east side of the castle was densely packed with civilians fleeing the war. Some people saw the black drone flying in the sky, pointed at it and screamed.
After Deng Fei took back the drone, he took Liji to find Tuka and explained to him the situation of Songqian City.
"How are you going to fight?"
Tuka had already learned bad things from Zhao Xin. The guy rolled his eyes and remembered what Zhao Xin had told him, so he said to Deng Fei: "I will send people from other tribes to go up first. If it doesn't work, you can go up and fight again."
After another hour, Tuka finally led the chiefs of other tribes to the dock. It was already past noon, and while thousands of people had eaten a meal of solid food, the Matsumae Castle Town was already in a state of chaos.
The empty houses near the docks have been occupied by Ainu people of various tribes. These people searched the houses for everything they could take away, and packed a lot of large and small bags; even the rush mats spread in other people's homes.
It's all packed.
Deng Fei looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and his nose was twisted with anger. He quickly called Pan Xiucheng and ordered him to lead two platoons to guard the gate of Songqian City to prevent the enemy from leaving the city for a sneak attack.
Unexpectedly, Pan Xiucheng had been prepared for it. After he changed defenses to Pingyuan Town, he gradually realized that the Ainu were unreliable in fighting. When they sent out smoke bombs, they had already sent people to guard the gate of Matsumae Castle.
Deng Fei breathed a sigh of relief and patted Pan Xiucheng on the shoulder to express his praise. He decided to be his own navy from now on and never interfere with the Marine Corps. He also ordered Li Ji to send a platoon to take the assault boat and morning boat
, patrolling the sea near the port to prevent anyone from escaping.
Before boarding the ship, Tuka had already negotiated with several tribes. He said that in addition to not burning, killing and looting the civilian areas on the east bank of the river, no matter who captured Matsumae Castle, the gold and silver treasures and captured weapons inside would be
He can take half of it, and the rest will be distributed among other tribes participating in the attack. But he only wants a complete castle.
As the conch horn sounded, more than a thousand Ainu warriors from other tribes on the dock began to gather and prepare to attack Matsumae Castle. But when a group of people arrived at Matsumae Castle, they all encountered difficulties. How on earth can they attack this city?
Matsumae Castle is a flat mountain castle, with a total of five gates including Otemon. In addition to the Honmaru, Ninomaru, and Sanonomaru, there is also the East Maru. Outside the city wall is a moat, connected by a bridge that can accommodate two horses running parallel.
There is a castle gate and a castle town. In addition, there is a castle gate at Higashikata Maru; but if you want to attack there, you need to face the hail of bullets from the two oars at the corner of the city wall.
The tribal leaders gathered together, let's demolish the houses first! So, several houses on the dock were demolished, and the wooden beams were used as battering rams. Those small houses that had not yet had their courtyard doors demolished
, now even the door panels could not be saved, they were removed by the Ainu people and used as a shield to resist the arrows.
In Matsumae Castle, the retainers of the Matsumae clan and members of the investigation team from the shogunate were fully armed. They already knew that the people outside the city were the Ainu. This made everyone very puzzled. When did the Ainu become so bold?
Dare to collude with the red-haired barbarians to attack Songqian City!
Amid shouts of killing that shook the sky, the Ainu began their first siege. Two hundred Ainu held the Qing army's hard bows or their own hunting bows and fired arrows into the city. Dozens of Ainu
Warrior Nu carried the dismantled large wooden beam, rushed across the small bridge, and slammed into the Oshou Gate.
More than a hundred meters away from the moat, two platoons of Beihai Town soldiers hid behind bunkers piled with wood and debris, pointing their guns at the city head and gate to prevent Matsumae Fan from counterattacking.
Another group of troops followed the moat eastward. They held up wooden door panels and iron pots, resisted the arrows and projectiles flying down from the double oars, rushed up the steps, and attacked the gate of Tounomaru.
Deng Fei had long seen the usefulness of the double oar. As long as it was destroyed, the gate of Tonomaru could be captured. Then he passed through the courtyard behind and captured Honmaru. He ordered Liji to lead two platoons to face the second scull.
The heavy oar launched continuous fire, intending to block the opponent's firepower.
It is a pity that the Matsumae clan seemed to understand what the fall of the castle meant. They hid in the strong stone castle, avoiding the bullets fired by Beihai Town, and at the same time looked through the wooden fence on the window to the people below and the steps of the Tounomaru gate.
The Ainu started shooting.
At first, these samurai and ashigaru tried to use wooden shields and bamboo bundles to resist bullets. When they found that these defensive equipment could not resist the bullets at all, they simply gave up the attack on the Ainu people in the south and aimed their main targets at the people who rushed to the area.
Ainu people on the stairs.
The cost of this attack was the most severe. Starting from the corner under the double oars, the path was filled with shot Ainu warriors. Everyone who rushed through the corner tried to lift the thick wooden beams and hit them.
He launched an attack on the Tounomaru gate on the steps, but was soon hit by an arrow in the back and fell to the steps.
At this time, the dozens of ashigaru responsible for archery in the double oar were exhausted. The price for killing a large number of enemies was that their hands were dripping with blood from being strangled by the bowstring.
Following Tuka's order, the crazy sea dog appeared again. In full view of everyone, he led a hundred Sachuan warriors armed with double guns, and under the cover of Liji's troops, approached the gate of Tonomaru. The sea dog first
He asked dozens of his men to raise their guns and shoot at the windows of the second oar. At the same time, he asked a dozen people to lift the beams that had fallen on the steps, shouting slogans, and hit the door.
