Chapter 983 The continuous appearance of big killing weapons

(0983)

[The power outage starts at noon and calls are coming only at 22:30. I have taken laxatives... After taking laxatives, I sit in front of the computer to type, and I feel... very happy! I encountered many unlucky things in August, and I hope August will pass quickly. I look forward to a new start in September!]

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of explosions came one after another, shocking the entire Aikawa Castle and even the vicinity of Sado Island. There were some earthquakes in Sado Island before. It felt like the previous earthquakes were completely incomparable to today's explosions. Even in the mountains twenty miles away from Aikawa Castle, you could feel the vibration of the earth. Especially in the deep mine pit, such vibrations were particularly obvious. Water in the deep mine pit kept gushing out.

Amid the flames, the Japanese army in the explosion area were blown to pieces and their bodies were gone. Those on the edge of the explosion were also not much better. They were overturned to the ground and stood up staggeringly. Before they could figure out what was going on, they were killed by the whistling Minnie bomb.

The Japanese army killed by muskets and were killed by grape bullets, at least one corpse existed. As long as they were not hit by solid bullets, the corpse was basically intact. However, some of the Japanese army bombed by flying thunder cannons disappeared completely, while others almost disappeared, leaving only a little bit of residue. Even the Japanese officers could not tell how many of their subordinates had suffered casualties. It was just a feeling - many, many.

The huge explosion made the people of Sado Island, whether they were foreign mining workers or the indigenous people of Sado Island themselves, squat on the ground, trembling with sorrow. They thought that an earthquake occurred in Sado Island. Some old people began to murmur in their mouths, and no one knew what they were praying for.

Some of the Japanese indigenous people even knelt on the ground and kept asking God Amaterasu to bless him. Some migrant workers knelt on the ground, knelt on the ground, bowed to the West, and asked the Buddha for protection. On this small Sado Island, God Amaterasu and Buddha both had a large number of believers. Moreover, God Amaterasu and Buddha prayed together to achieve the best results.

Of course, there were also a few brave people who quietly approached Aikawa Castle to see clearly what was going on. However, they did not dare to get too close, so they could only look from a distance. As a result, they were shocked to see that black clouds that looked like mushrooms were constantly rising. A large number of Japanese troops were swallowed up by such mushroom clouds.

To the bystanders, when the Japanese soldiers who were swarming up were as if they had fallen into a big pit when they encountered the explosion of the thunder cannon, they disappeared in a blink of an eye. After the violent explosion, there was only a charred piece around the pit. There was only a huge column of smoke rising up, as if it was transformed by a demon, which was creepy.

The lethality of these flying thunder cannons within a range of 50 meters is definitely not to be underestimated. The flying thunder cannons used by the Tiger and Ben Army Marines fired a standard explosive pack of fifteen kilograms. This explosive pack is enough to wipe out all the enemies within a radius of 50 meters. The Japanese army's attack formation is so dense that it is completely seeking death.

In fact, as long as the Japanese officers were a little careful, they would find that many of their soldiers did not have too many scars on the outside, but were only bleeded to death by being shaken. This is the power of the explosive pack. There is no need for killings such as shrapnel, but only a strong shock wave is enough to kill people.

However, most of the Japanese army did not realize this. They were still rushing forward desperately. They all had a lucky mentality, thinking that such a tragic fate might not fall on themselves. As long as they were fast enough, they could avoid the attack of explosive packs. If they were unfortunately bombed, there was nothing they could do about it.

Indeed, the speed of the Tiger Army Marines shooting explosive packs is not particularly fast. This kind of thing focuses on large-scale killing, rather than the launching speed. Two consecutive explosive packs will not superimpose their lethality when landing in the same place. Only by staggering the landing points can the maximum lethality be exerted.

The Hamamoto under Maeda Ryota, the men under Maeda did not realize what happened before. They had never encountered weapons like the flying thunder cannon. They were just optimistic that under the tide of the Japanese army, the Tiger Ben Army would be defeated soon. The difficulties in front of them are only temporary and can be overcome. As long as the difficulties in front of them are overcome, victory will belong to the shogun.

However, with the continuous loud noises, the Japanese attacks were still ineffective, and they realized that something was wrong. After careful observation, they found that the troops under their command were all killed by strange things shot out by the Hu Ben Army. No matter how many people came up from the Japanese army, with a rumbling sound, the surroundings would turn into white ground.

"What's going on?"

Ryo Maeda was so shocked.

He had never encountered such a weapon before. He had never even thought about it. He saw from the Qianli Mirror that as long as a black thing fell, a huge explosion would occur. A large number of Japanese troops were killed in such an explosion. He searched for such a deadly weapon, but he never knew what it was.

"Evil thing?"

Youqin said suspiciously.

"Evil thing?"

"Masashimakura?"

The eyes of the other flag book suddenly became a little frightened.

Like the Chinese, the Japanese are also more superstitious. Some Japanese are even more superstitious than the Chinese. To talk about the Tokugawa shogunate, the most superstitious and terrifying thing, probably the Masashiro Masashiro. Tokugawa Iemitsu also issued a special order for this to strictly prohibit his subordinates from mentioning the name of Masashiro Masashiro.

In fact, the Demon Sword Village is not a sword, but a sword name, just like the Longquan sword in China, and is mass-produced. The village is a place that specializes in creating samurai swords. The local samurai is extremely sharp. Many Japanese samurai with superb martial arts or outstanding status like to use the samurai swords produced by Murata.

Because several people in the Tokugawa family were killed or killed by the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Tokugawa Shogunate was very taboo about the Tokugawa Shogunate. Tokugawa Iemitsu also sent people to clean up the Museu and other places, and strictly prohibited the locals from continuing to build samurai swords. Two or three hundred years later, the Tokugawa Shogunate's power declined, and those who resisted it all engraved the two words "Mura Masahisa" on their swords to show that they were incompatible with the Tokugawa Shogunate.

"Baga!"

“Bad talk!”

Ryo Maeda shouted too angry.

The demon sword village is a taboo of the Tokugawa shogunate. These flag books, if they were brought up on such occasions, were simply seeking death. If Tokugawa Ie-Kuai heard about it, they would have to be removed from their posts. However, the weapons used by the Tiger Army were indeed a bit similar to evil things. In the past, Tian Liangta understood that such weapons were simply exclusive to demons.

"The omnipotent Amaterasu..."

Akimoto began to summon the great god Amaterasu to drive away the evil spirits.

It’s a pity that I don’t know if Amaterasu is too busy. He is not at home today and has no reaction at all. The Japanese army continues to attack forward, and the flying thunder cannons from the Hu Ben Army continue to fire, and continues to send a large number of Japanese troops to hell.

Last time, the Tiger Army Marines used thunder cannons on Lianyun Island, but there was no such result. At that time, there were not many Tartars, and a single explosive bag would not necessarily kill a Tartar. However, on Sado Island, these explosive bags of the Tiger Army Marines had a great harvest. Each explosive bag would have to harvest a large number of Japanese lives.

Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Ryo Maeda couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Could it be that Master Amaterasu was completely powerless to write about evil things like this? Where did these damn Tiger Army find evil things? Could it be that Zhang Zhun is really the reincarnation of a demon?

The worst thing is the soldiers who were full of hope and thought they could take down Aikawa Castle. When they were closest to the Hu Ben Army, they suffered such terrifying injuries. You can imagine that they were depressed. Of course, this was only a small number of Japanese troops who had the opportunity to be depressed. Most of the Japanese troops went to see Amaterasu in the deafening explosion.

A very small number of Japanese troops luckily avoided the bombing of the flying thunder cannons and continued to approach the Hu Ben Army. Just when they were glad that they were not killed, a huge force suddenly came from their feet, which overturned them all over for a long time. As soon as they saw darkness, they knew nothing. The powerful shock wave pushed all the Japanese troops around to the ground.

This was an explosion that was even more shocking by the flying thunder cannon, which immediately attracted the attention of all Japanese officers. Unlike the explosion of the flying thunder cannon, this explosion was even more powerful and buried deeper, as if it was directly shot out from the ground. A large amount of soil and black smoke rose up together, covering the battlefield with a small piece.

"What is this?"

Ryo Maeda was shocked again.

No one could answer. All the Japanese were in extreme shock. The question of the flying thunder cannon had not yet been answered, and now another powerful guy appeared. Some of the qiben felt that their foreheads were already sweating. There were so many evil things on the hands of the Hu Ben Army, could they really take Sado Island?

What's this?

Of course it's a landmine.

Landmines are the last link of the Hu Ben Army's defense line, and are only about 30 meters away from the Hu Ben Army's defense line. The charge of flying thunder cannons is generally about fifteen kilograms. The loading of landmines is at least fifty kilograms. The power of explosion is of course incomparable. Basically, as long as you enter a place of 100 meters around the mine, there is little chance of surviving.

If the killing of muskets is just rows, and if you are lucky, you can avoid it. The killing of flying thunder cannons and landmines is round by round. As long as it is within the range of an explosion, it is basically impossible.

No matter how cruel the enemy adopts the sea of ​​people, they can only be a scum in front of the flying thunder cannons and landmines. The faster the Japanese army attacks forward, the more troops they deploy, the greater the casualties they will pay.

...

"ah!"

Beside Zhang Zhun, Wang Junyu screamed in a low voice.

He arrived at Zhang Zhun late and had never seen the power of the flying thunder cannons and landmines. When the flying thunder cannons exploded, he could barely hold back and prevent himself from making a surprise sound. However, when the huge mines began to explode, he could no longer hold them back.

This is simply too cruel. In the face of such weapons, even if an enemy of 100,000 or 80,000 is rushing up, there is no possibility of getting close to you! How could the flesh and blood of the human body be the opponent of such an explosion? There was a loud bang, dozens, or even hundreds of lives, disappearing.

I don’t know who invented such a weapon. If it were Zhang Jun himself, it would be really terrifying. No wonder the Hu Ben Army was so powerful. It turned out that it had such a killer move! It seems that the Japanese were dead this time.

...

"Big boss, look..."

Youqin asked carefully and tentatively.

The Hu Ben Army is too powerful. Should I retreat temporarily? Even if I don’t retreat, at least, I need to figure out what kind of weapon the Hu Ben Army uses. If I continue to rush forward like this, I am afraid that all the 30,000 Japanese troops will die.

"Continue to attack!"

Ryo Maeda shouted without hesitation.

The troops have already arrived at Sado Island, so where is there any possibility of retreat? If he retreats like this, how can he have the face to see Tokugawa Iemitsu? Besides, Ryo Maeda has always believed that as long as he has enough courage, evil things will never stop them. Obviously, the Japanese army that is hitting still lacks some courage.

attack!

Keep attacking!

Only by continuing to attack can you take down Sado Island!

Under the order of Ryota Maeda, all the Japanese troops took off their shirts and tied red silk to their foreheads. At the same time, they put out all the mascots on their bodies to restrain the evil things of the Hu Ben Army. Then, the Japanese troops continued to rush forward.

...

"Sir, don't we really need to go up and support?"

Wang Shide asked with some concern.

The Japanese army's charge looked stupid, as if they were going to commit suicide. However, you cannot deny that their charge was indeed very brave. Even in front of the Tartars, they were not inferior. No wonder Japan was so arrogant in North Korea. After being repelled by the Ming army, it was still very unwilling to accept its failure.

If they cannot stop their charge and are close to each other and fight with the Hu Ben Army, the Hu Ben Army will probably suffer a great loss. The military strength is so different. If they fight with each other, others will be able to tear the Hu Ben Army apart by empty hands, five or even ten.

"unnecessary."

Zhang Zhun answered calmly.

Wang Junyu wanted to speak but stopped. Finally, he and Wang Shide looked at each other and did not speak. Obviously, both of them felt that the battle in Aikawa Castle was a bit urgent. Although there was no army troops beside Zhang Zhun, there was a navy! As long as the navy went forward, bombarded the Japanese army and overturned all the Japanese on the sea, Aikawa Castle would be safe.

Only Zhang Zhun is very confident and confident that the Marine Corps can definitely defend Aikawa Castle. The Japanese attacks look very fierce, but in fact they cannot cause effective damage to the Hu Ben Army. The Hu Ben Army's field cannons, Tiger guns, flying thunder cannons, and mines form a very strict defense system. In the face of such a defense system, relying on human sea tactics, it is absolutely impossible to step beyond the line. Where is the flesh and blood of the human body the opponent of the firearm?

As long as the people of the Hu Ben Army are still there, ammunition is still there, and guns and artillery fire is still there, the Japanese army will not want to break into Aikawa Castle. Everything you see in front of you is an illusion. What Zhang Zhun wants is such an illusion. Only such an illusion can make the Japanese army come up to die continuously. Otherwise, once the Japanese army fights back, the Japanese army will not dare to come to Sado Island again.

The only regret is that the Hu Ben Army does not have a large killing weapon such as machine guns. Otherwise, the Japanese army would charge like this and at least a small team would fall down. Modern heavy machine guns kill people too quickly.

...

The Japanese attack lasted for three hours. Finally, he realized that he could not take down Aikawa Castle, so Ryota Maeda had to temporarily order a retreat. Of course, he was unwilling to fail. He planned to continue gathering troops after he went back and make a comeback.

When night fell, the Japanese army completely retreated, and Zhang Zhun was just ashore. The port of Aikawa Castle was already in chaos and could hardly see what it was. There was no way to park large warships near the pier. Zhang Zhun transferred to a sampan and then went ashore.

Aikawa Castle is still in the hands of the Hu Ben Army. Around Aikawa Castle, there are only the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere. The soldiers of the Hu Ben Army who cleaned the battlefield cannot count the number of Japanese casualties. What they can count is only the corpses of Japanese soldiers on land. As for those who were completely blown up, the bones remain, or those who were sunk in the sea, it cannot be counted.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of corpses left by the Japanese army is about 11,000. A rough estimate of the number of casualties among the Japanese is at least 15,000. Perhaps, it may reach 20,000.

Such a joyful and crisp loss is unprecedented. Through this battle, the Hu Ben Army has a deeper understanding of the Japanese character.

"Governor!"

"Governor!"

"Governor!"

Fang He, Liu Dong, Li Yang and others were all behind the pier to welcome Zhang Zhun's arrival.

"Li Yang, it's a good job!"

Zhang Zhun patted Li Yang on the shoulder vigorously.

Li Yang's artillery battalion performed very well, which caused the Japanese army to lose half of its troops before they even landed. What those little Japanese feared the most was the rain of steel bullets. In the face of powerful force, they were scumbags!

A staff officer came and whispered a few words beside Fang He. Fang He whispered to Zhang Zhun: "Sir, have caught some Japanese prisoners..."

Zhang Zhun shook his head gently.

Fang He understood, took a few steps back, and made a killing gesture to the staff officer.

The staff officer understood and retreated. Soon after, a short scream sounded and disappeared quickly. The Hu Ben Army seemed to have not heard it at all.
Chapter completed!
