Chapter 1010: Under Shuri King Castle
"Samurai, pick up the weapons in your hands and let the enemy on the opposite side know how it feels to have a katana slashed on the neck." In front of the formation, riding a white horse, he kept circling. He held up the Jumonji spear in his hand and pointed it at the soldiers under his command.
Shouting slogans loudly. The armor is very gorgeous and still continues the tradition. Different from the Ashigaru and samurai warriors, they wear a large red armor with curled edges on their heads.
The shape of the bag is also extremely exaggerated, with two large horns decorated with gold, making a person who is not very tall look much taller. The horse kept galloping in front of the formation, then returned to the center, and he suddenly pulled the reins.
The horses neighed and raised their front hooves high. The warriors under his command couldn't help but exclaimed, "General, you really have the style of Honda Tadakatsu."
"Samurai, today is the time for you to be loyal. Please follow me and destroy the enemies on the opposite side!" He waved the Jumonji spear in his hand and shouted "Long live the Emperor." The soldiers followed and shouted: "Plate load! Plate load! Plate load!
Load!" "Hey
! Hey! Ho! Hey! Hey! Ho! Hey! Hey! Ho!" For a time, the morale of the soldiers was high, and the sea breeze blew to the shore, blowing the family crest flags stuck behind the ashigaru's backs, and the soldiers
They clenched the weapons in their hands and leaned closely together.
"The whole army is checking the equipment! Prepare to attack!" With a clang, Ma Jingliang pulled out the command knife from his waist, and the soldiers immediately began to make a final inspection of the 28-type fire guns in their hands. Shang Xian asked nervously: "Ma
General, just now you either said it or you were waiting for us to take the initiative.
Attack? Why do we still attack?" Ma Jingliang glanced at Shang Xian and found that Shang Xian's face was a little pale, his hands were clenched tightly, and his whole body was shaking slightly. It was obvious that he was very nervous. Ma Jingliang could actually understand.
Xian is just a prince, and now Dacha
It is estimated that he has never seen it in his life. They only have 6,000 soldiers in the country, but today the army fighting under the Shuri Imperial City has exceeded 10,000. They have nearly 7,000 here, and the total strength there is 5,000.
, equivalent to all soldiers, the scale can be regarded as a national
Of course, this scale is a drop in the bucket compared to the battles involving tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Central Plains. If Ma Jingliang had told Shang Xian, not long ago, he had led troops to resist Zhang Xianzhong's attack in Anqing Mansion.
The 300,000-strong Western Army would probably scare Shang Xian to the point of peeing.
Hearing Shangxian's words, Ma Jingliang asked back: "Prince Shangxian, I wonder if you have heard of a saying in the Central Plains, which is called one force to defeat ten societies. In other words, in the face of absolute power, any fancy skills will be defeated."
It has no effect. Our Qingyi Army has experienced hundreds of battles. To be honest, I really don’t pay attention to the people on the other side. I just want to defeat them from the front!” Ma Jingliang’s words revealed.
Out of his strong self-confidence, Shangxian couldn't help but be startled and nodded heavily. Yes, since the heavenly soldiers are willing to help him, he should trust the heavenly soldiers. However, Shangxian's qualifications are still young and he has no combat experience. This time Shuri
The decisive battle was his first time leading troops into battle. Even in the last battle at Nago Castle, he only came ashore at the end of the battle, so naturally he did not see the tragic battle process.
"All the troops obey the order!" Ma Jingliang roared. With a crash, the soldiers immediately puffed up their chests and stood up straight. "All of them are here, bayonets are attached. Battalions are lined up in five sections to attack, and they are slowly approaching.
Defeat the enemy's formation with a firecracker formation. If the opponent's cavalry attacks, use thunder to destroy them. Be ready for hand-to-hand combat at any time!" "That's your order!" the soldiers responded with an angry roar.
A cracking sound was heard, which was the sound of soldiers attaching bayonets. The dark-black firecrackers exuded the light of death, and the three-edged bayonets with cold light sent out the signal of death. Shangxian looked at the fiery red sky.
Haiyang couldn't help but feel startled. These heavenly soldiers were well-armored, and the red tassels on their six-petal helmets fluttered in the wind. Their eyes were firmly looking ahead. Nothing could stop them.
"Advance in formation!" Ma Jingliang pointed his sword forward, and the soldiers immediately organized into battalions, with 240 people in each row, and 1,200 people in five rows, spaced one position apart, and then moved forward steadily with guns in hand.
. Kojima Naruto's eyes widened. The opponent's general had no idea at all.
Like himself, he was still trying to boost his morale in front of the battle, but he started to attack directly. Kojima was a little uncomfortable. Is the opponent going to launch an offensive so soon? From Kojima's point of view, there were only a thousand enemy troops on the other side.
They lined up in a seemingly thin formation, so straight
Are you ready to fight? Kojima gritted his teeth and turned around and said: "Oh! Vice General Shinbei! Let those people come in!" The deputy general stepped forward and bowed: "Hai!" He then ran to the back of the formation and mobilized the soldiers.
Said: "Now is the time for you to be loyal, you can start to charge
Come on, wipe out these desperate enemies under Shuri City. Those who kill the enemies will be heavily rewarded. Of course, if any of you refuse to advance but retreat, don't blame our samurai swords for not recognizing anyone!"
To win over and intimidate, make the soldiers obey orders.
"Okay, cheer up, you should defend your own country. Attack!" Shinbei drew out his samurai sword and waved it twice. The Shuri soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers mustered up their courage, raised their spears, and shouted
They rushed out. The Japanese soldiers in front immediately separated their formation, allowing these Ryukyu soldiers to rush out.
"Damn it, you actually used our soldiers as shields!" Shangxian punched his saddle and said to Ma Jingliang hatefully. Ma Jingliang nodded and said: "Prince Shangxian, I had expected this.
They will not sacrifice their lives in vain, but I want to make it clear in advance that I cannot be soft on them just to take care of His Highness the Prince's emotions. Kindness to the enemy is to show kindness to myself.
Because of our own cruelty, these Ryukyu people rushed up regardless of life and death, and we could only eliminate them." Shangxian was stunned for a moment, obviously a little heartbroken. After this battle, there are still many young and strong Ryukyu men who will die.
, Ryukyu's national power will be greatly affected, but he also knows that there is nothing that can be done about it. Who allows these Shuri soldiers to be driven by his uncle and Japanese pirates?
"Advance in small steps! Aim!" the battalion commanders of each battalion stood in the middle of the team and ordered. The firecracker array that originally moved forward in large strides immediately turned into small steps. The soldiers picked up the 28-style firecrackers and pressed their cheeks tightly.
Hold the gun butt, eyes and camera tightly
The door sight remained straight, aiming at the enemy that was approaching quickly in front. "Attack, follow behind, the iron artillery team is in front and prepare to shoot. The cavalry will cover on both sides, and the ashigaru will prepare to charge!" Naruto Kojima gave the order in an orderly manner. He
of
The idea is very simple. Since the range of your iron cannon is not as far as that of the opponent, you can use the lives of these Ryukyu people to make up for this distance. After exchanging lives for this distance, your own iron cannon can reach the shooting position, and then
Use powerful firepower to eliminate the opponent's front row first. While the enemy is exchanging fire with your iron artillery team, the cavalry will outflank them from both sides and rush into their formation. Finally, the gun ashigaru and the samurai launch an assault to seal the deal.
"The whole army stands still! Two hundred steps! Get ready!" the battalion commanders ordered. The New Army soldiers stood still and aimed their muskets forward, while adjusting their breathing rhythm to achieve stable shooting. "One hundred and fifty
"Step!" The battalion commanders constantly reported the distance between the enemy and themselves. Theoretically speaking, they can fire at 150 steps. The effective killing range of the Type 28 firecracker is originally 150 steps.
Steps, and Ryukyu soldiers can almost be regarded as unarmored targets, and the lethality of fire cannons against them is also considerable, but the battalion commanders still did not give the order to shoot. They were waiting for Ma Jingliang's order. "One hundred and twenty steps!" Ma Jingliang
