Chapter 1018 Weapon that made Amaterasu fear

(1018)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

Some of the Japanese troops finally couldn't stand it anymore. They dared not retreat, so they could only stay in place and refused to advance. However, more Japanese troops continued to surge. These Japanese troops were all rushing up from the rear and had not yet suffered a fatal blow. When the current companions stopped, they took the initiative to rush up.

You can say they are stupid, you can say they are childish, or they are ignorant. However, they rushed up with the rain of bullets from grape bullets. In fact, in the eyes of the rampant Tartars, the Hu Ben Army that blocked them was stupid? It’s just that these Japanese troops didn’t know that the Hu Ben Army was powerful.

"Free shooting!"

"Open fire!"

The front-line officers of the Hu Ben Army started to roar.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of the Hu Ben gun sounded like fried beans.

The rumbling sound of cannons did not suppress the sound of guns. When the sound of cannons was separated, the sound of guns still seemed very clear. The sound of guns was completely mixed together, just like the most intense symphony, vibrating the entire earth.

Amid the continuous sound of gunfire, large areas of Japanese troops fell down. From Zhang Zhun's perspective, the various Japanese flags seemed to have encountered storms and were all blown to the ground. The Japanese troops behind them rushed up with these flags. Many of the flags were deeply trapped in the mud soaked in blood and could never come out again.

Unlike the Central Plains dynasty, the Japanese army always liked to fight with various flags, with different patterns on them. No one except themselves knew what it meant. The colorful flags just pointed out the shooting targets for the Hu Ben Army.

"how so?"

Abe Yuki murmured to himself with a stiff expression.

The Japanese army's attack obviously suffered an unprecedented head-on blow. In a very short period of time, the number of casualties of the Japanese army exceeded 5,000. This is the number of people reported by subordinates. The actual number may be much higher than this number. In the Japanese battlefield, such casualties can definitely be regarded as a major battle.

On the contrary, in Zhang Zhun's view, there is actually no suspense in such a battle. Unless it is the reinforcement of the troops of Masato Kaki. The 10,000 fully armed Tiger Army, plus a field artillery battalion, will it be easy to deal with tens of thousands of Japanese troops with only light weapons?

Zhang Zhun's attention was entirely focused on Masato Kaki. Xia Feis's attention was also focused on Masato Kaki. The Japanese leader party also focused on Masato Kaki. Because, everyone knows that only Kaki Masato Kaki is the real enemy of the Hu Ben Army. If he did not appear, the Hu Ben Army could not be said to have won completely.

As time passed by minute by minute, gunfire still continued. The Japanese attack did not stop, and the Hu Ben Army's shooting did not stop. Every minute, a large number of Japanese troops fell down, and a small number of Hu Ben Army suffered casualties. The commanders of both sides of the battle were waiting, waiting for a person named Masato Kaichi to appear.

"Masato Kaichi is here!"

Soon, Shafes hurriedly came to report to Zhang Zhun.

When the battle reached its peak, a tide of army appeared behind the Japanese army. Looking from the Qianli Mile Mile, there were quite a lot of Japanese troops and the team was quite neat. There were also quite a lot of flags in the team. It felt like the Japanese like to hold flags and fight.

"It's finally here."

Abe Yuki was overjoyed.

The large army led by Masato Kaichi finally arrived.

The tide that appeared behind Abe Yuki was the troops of Masako Eki who came from Shinno's country to reinforce. This is the most elite unit of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Behind this sentence, there is no word "one". Even Abe Yuki Eki must be admired in front of Masako Eki.

"good!"

"good!"

"good!"

Abe Yuki said repeatedly.

The arrival of Masato Kaichi will greatly enhance the strength of the Japanese army.

He knew very well that with Masato Kaichi's temper, he would definitely launch an attack as soon as possible after he came to the battlefield. This guy was a pure combat madman. As long as the enemy appeared, he would pounce on him like a mad dog and tore the enemy apart. Either he died in battle. Or his enemy was killed.

In fact, this is true. After Kaizaki appeared on the battlefield, he immediately issued a combat order after briefly understanding the situation on the battlefield. All he brought were elite troops, and the labor he had on a long journey was almost negligible. He had full confidence that he could launch an attack while he was moving and defeat the Hu Ben Army troops in front.

"assault!"

Masato Kaichi shouted without hesitation.

"assault!"

The flag book under his command all yelled.

The crazy Japanese army immediately rushed up towards the Hu Ben Army's defense line like a tide.

"Zhang Lingyun!"

"Ling Ruocheng!"

"The fox line is east!"

Zhang Zhun put down the Qianli Mile Mile and gave a decisive order.

From the Qianli Mile Mile, Zhang Zhun discovered that the Japanese reinforcements were indeed very fierce. These guys did not need any rest and launched an attack while moving. It seems that Masato Kaichi, who had just appeared on the battlefield, was coming in full force!

OK, let you know the power of the Hu Ben Army!

Masato Kaichi really has enough capital to be arrogant. The 30,000 Japanese troops he brought were equipped with the latest large-caliber smoothbore guns and dozens of the latest cannons. These were all brought by the Dutch visiting fleet.

"charge!"

“Onboard!”

Masato Kaichi shouted sternly.

He pulled out his command knife and drove the troops around him to rush forward continuously.

Regarding Abe Yuki who was commanding the battle, Masato Eizaki did not even meet him in person. He just sent his own family members (shogunate samurai, equivalent to escorts or adjutants) to learn about the basic combat situation from Abe Yuki, and then made a decision.

At this time, Abe Yuki actually set up a square formation, thinking that he was not dying fast enough. Masato Kaichisa didn't want any square formation at all, as long as the soldiers rushed forward in a swarm. Even if they used swords, they would smash the enemy.

"Free shooting!"

"Open fire!"

Of course, the Hu Ben Army did not show any weakness and immediately gave the most fierce counterattack.

The defensive formation of the Hu Ben Army is actually only two rows. Behind the two rows of musketeers are flying thunder cannons and field cannons. Such a queue makes the defense line of the Hu Ben Army very long and can completely block the multiple attacks launched by the Japanese army.

Such two rows of scattered soldiers are also conducive to the shooting of muskets. The shooting of the Hu Ben gun is almost uninterrupted. The flat field has no obstacles to the power of the muskets. Minnie bullets roar and flew towards the target fiercely. Either they hit the target directly. Or they flew until the kinetic energy was completely lost.

No matter how fierce or elite the Japanese army rushed forward, they could only fall in front of the Minnie bomb. The closer they were to the Huben Army, the greater the possibility of being killed. A large number of Japanese troops fell down screaming and screaming at about one hundred meters away from the Huben Army. No matter how hard the Japanese army worked behind them, it would be difficult to break through this line of defense.

In fact, after the invention of muskets, the role of things like courage has greatly decreased. The combat effectiveness of the army is often reflected in strict organization, strict discipline, strict training, etc. This is a team battle, not a one-person battle. At the same time, weapons and equipment are also a very important factor.

No matter how brave the Japanese army was, they could never rush to the front of the Hu Ben Army's ranks. There was always an insurmountable distance between the Japanese attacking queues and the Hu Ben Army's defense line. This made Masato Kaki, who was watching the battle behind, feel very uncomfortable. In his opinion, it was simply unreasonable that he could not rush through such a short distance.

"Baga!"

Masato Kaichi waving his command knife fiercely.

When the Hashimoto beside him saw Masato Kaki's movement, he was shocked all over and hurriedly dispersed and went to his own troops to supervise the battle. After a while, the Japanese army's offensive momentum became even more fierce. Under the shock of the supervision team, a large number of Japanese troops rushed upwards on the bodies of their companions and fearlessly.

After paying a huge price, some Japanese troops had already crossed a distance of 100 meters. Moreover, there were more Japanese troops trying to cross this distance of death. Relying solely on muskets and field artillery seemed to be unable to stop the Japanese army's crazy attack.

"Baga!"

"Swish!"

Masato Kaichisa inserted his command knife back into the scabbard in disappointment.

He didn't believe that with the absolute advantage of the Japanese army in terms of numbers, he would not be able to rush to the front of the Hu Ben Army. What is the current comparison of troops? A total of 8 to 1! How could it be impossible to defeat the eight Japanese army against one Hu Ben Army?

The Japanese troops who rushed through the death line seemed to think so. After breaking away from the grape bullet attack of the Hu Ben Army, their morale did rise a lot. It seemed that as long as they continued to advance fifty meters, they could shoot at the Hu Ben Army. As long as they entered the range of large-caliber smoothbore guns and tens of thousands of muskets were fired, the Hu Ben Army would be defeated.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise from the sky collapsed and the earth broke.

Masato Kaichi subconsciously felt something was wrong. He hurriedly pulled out his command knife and stared at the surroundings with cold and ruthless eyes. At the beginning, he thought an earthquake had occurred. He could clearly be grateful that something seemed to be trembling under his feet.

Then, Masato Kaichi's eyes slowly searched for the direction of the loud noise. As a result, he was shocked to find that a large amount of black smoke emerged in front of the Japanese attacking troops. The Japanese army inside the black smoke seemed to have all disappeared. On the periphery of the black smoke, there were Japanese soldiers who were overturned by people.

Some of them seemed to be completely dazed, standing there stupidly, motionless until they were killed and fell by flying stray bullets. Some Japanese soldiers, who were still frightened, immediately turned around and ran backward after getting up from the ground. The officers behind them were not sure what was going on before, and they did not stop them.

"good!"

"Good fight!"

"Look at how many lives a little Japanese have!"

Wang Junyu clenched his fists and shouted excitedly.

There is no doubt that the loud noise just now was the sound of the explosion of the flying thunder cannon. In order to deal with the Japanese army's sea offensive, the Hu Ben Army was also prepared. Once the Japanese army approached a distance of 100 meters, the flying thunder cannon would be fired without hesitation.

Sure enough, those Japanese soldiers who rushed up fearlessly, when they encountered the powerful flying thunder cannons, they were immediately bombarded. These flying thunder cannons were bombarded with thirty kilograms of explosives. The power of the explosion can be imagined. Basically, there are no living people in the circle with a radius of about ten meters. In the circle with a radius of about twenty meters, all creatures will suffer devastating blows. After the explosion's shock wave, even if they do not die, they will be seriously injured.

"Damn it!"

"What is this?"

"Can Ryo Maeda not lie?"

Masato Kaichi's heart suddenly tightened and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Suddenly, he thought of a very terrifying weapon. This weapon actually made Masato Kaki, who was always known for his bravery, feel a little palpitations. If the Tiger Army used a weapon that made Amaterasu scared, then this war would be a little troublesome. I guess he would follow the footsteps of Ryota Maeda!

After losing the battle on Sado Island, Ryota Maeda returned to the shogunate and reported to Tokugawa Iemitsu that the Tiger Army had a very powerful weapon. The Japanese army landed on Sado Island were killed in large quantities by such terrifying weapons. At that time, many people thought that Ryota Maeda was making excuses for his failure. They all stared at the big boss who was under one person in the Tokugawa Shogunate with contempt.

Among them, the most outstanding performance was Masato Masato, who was always famous for his fierce attacks. In Masato Masato, Masato Masato was obviously making excuses. He had no ability to take down Sado Island, which seriously affected the reputation of the shogunate army, so he fabricated such a lie. He bluntly accused Masato Masato of his incompetence. In the end, Tokugawa Iemitsu believed Masato Masato and ordered Masato to deprive Masato of all rights and let him go home to retire.
