The sun was shining on the earth as before, and amid the dull sound of war drums and horns, the young warriors' faces were slightly nervous, but the rigorous training in the past year had left everything in the battle formation engraved on their bodies. , even when faced with the surging enemy troops, fear filled their hearts, but their bodies still stood as motionless as mountain peaks. They were like the rocks on the shore, waiting for the impact of the waves!
"Order artillery fire to prepare. Fire when the enemy is five hundred steps away from our army!" Cao Ling used a telescope to observe the enemy's moving battle formation, and at the same time gave the order calmly!
soon! Cao Ling's order was passed on, and the artillery behind the Guards infantry square began to prepare busily. They measured the distance, adjusted the artillery, loaded the gunpowder and shells, and only waited for the enemy to enter the designated distance before they could open fire. Shot!
In order to save materials, when attacking infantry, long-range artillery uses solid shells. Although this kind of shells is not as lethal as blooming shells, its advantages are that it is easy to transport, simple to manufacture, and there is no need to save when using it!
"The enemy is six hundred steps away from our army!"
"The enemy is five hundred and seventy steps away from our army!"
"The enemy is five hundred and thirty steps away from our army!"
"All artillery readyfire!"
With the last command from the artillery commander, one hundred field guns were fired at the same time. With a thunderous roar, one hundred round solid iron balls were pushed out of the gun barrel by the powerful kinetic energy emitted by the gunpowder!
After a very short flight, the artillery shells fell into the advancing shogunate army. Although solid artillery shells could not cause large-scale damage, explosions, flames and other brilliant effects, a hundred high-speed flying projectiles fell into the crowd. After that, he immediately smashed through two or three unlucky ones!
After the projectile landed, due to the interaction between the hardness of the ground and the impact force, the projectile bounced several times on the ground as if it were floating on water. The result of this bounce was that a hundred projectiles were left behind in the shogunate's army. Hundreds of blood-red ravines!
Different from the first two or three people who were hit by the ricochet, those who were hit by the ricochet basically had a leg or something else on their body swept off. This caused those who were injured and fell to the ground to inevitably let out heart-rending screams. screams!
However, the will of the Japanese is really tenacious. When faced with such a blow, the samurai and ashigaru who were not hit actually stepped over their injured companions with expressionless faces and filled the gaps as they marched!
Of course, the Ming army's artillery bombardment could not be just this round. After the first shot was fired, the artillerymen immediately began to clean the barrels and reload. After all the cannons were ready in a very short period of time, the commander gave another order, Suddenly hundreds of cannons fired together, leaving tragic marks on the shogunate's army!
After being attacked by Ming army artillery fire one after another, the shogunate army obviously did not react at all. At least they moved much faster. They seemed to want to get close to the Ming army formation as soon as possible so that the Ming army lost the advantage of artillery!
Cao Ling naturally saw the intentions of the shogunate army. A sneer appeared on his lips and he ordered again: "At three hundred steps, the tiger crouching cannon opens fire. At two hundred steps, the platoon gun opens fire!"
As the order was issued, Cao Ling put down the telescope, turned to look at Wang Hua and said, "Old Wang, after the battle is over this time, I want to build a Jingguan on the old site of Edo Castle. What do you think?"
Wang Hua said with an indifferent smile on his face: "As long as you don't violate His Majesty's 'slaughter restriction order', you can do whatever you like!"
Seeing that Wang Hua did not object to this matter, Cao Ling also showed a smile on his face and said: "Don't worry, no one dares to violate His Majesty's words, but there is something I have to tell you!"
Wang Hua glanced at Cao Ling and asked, "What are you planning to do again?"
Cao Ling smiled mischievously and said: "I heard that the people who supported the fleet lived a very comfortable life. Not only did they capture a lot of slaves, but they also had a lot of fun drawing lots. Look at the big-headed soldiers under our command, all of them are very energetic. You can¡¯t just let them do it and watch without being able to eat, right?¡±
Wang Hua knew that Cao Ling was talking about the group of sailors supporting the fleet who drew lots to vent their anger, but he thought about it and said: "Although there is a prohibition on rape and adultery in the military regulations, if the other party is willing to give some compensation, at most It¡¯s considered prostitution and not adultery, but you have to think about it carefully. If this kind of thing happens more often, it might cause a lot of trouble, and it won¡¯t be easy to explain!¡±
After hearing Wang Hua's words, Cao Ling's face couldn't help but change. He just wanted to find some fun for his big soldiers, but he didn't expect that if his expeditionary army was overrun with flowers and willows, even if the emperor didn't take care of him, There is no luster on the face!
Wang Hua saw Cao Ling¡¯s expression change,Naturally knowing that he already knew the pros and cons, he smiled and said: "You people in the Guards are precious, unlike us unlucky guys who are working hard outside!"
When Cao Ling heard this, he knew that Wang Hua must have a way to solve this problem, and quickly said: "Old Wang, don't hide this kind of thing. If your brothers find out, won't they hate you to death?"
Wang Hua scratched his chin and said with a smile: "What's the point of hiding something in this matter? Just listen to me!"
Wang Hua whispered in Cao Ling's ear for a while, and Cao Ling suddenly showed a sudden realization and lowered his voice: "Is this really possible?"
Wang Hua affirmed: "Of course, this is what the army in Bian Town does! When have you ever heard of them making trouble?"
Seeing that Wang Hua was so sure, Cao Ling nodded this time and said with a smile: "This matter is settled now. Once Tokugawa Hidetada is dealt with and the Housuiwei is dealt with, these boys will be happy! "
The soldiers in the battle formation didn't know that their commander was still free to worry about what was going on in their crotches at this time. All these young soldiers held their breaths and looked at the shogunate army on the opposite side that was constantly suffering casualties but still kept approaching. !
"The enemy is three hundred steps away, the tiger is crouching and cannon, fire!"
Following the command, five hundred steel tiger squatting cannons that had been lined up in front of the musket array opened fire almost simultaneously. With the dull sound of cannons and gunpowder smoke, five hundred "big cakes" rolled and smashed into the shogunate's army. middle!
Faced with such a blow, the samurai and ashigaru, whose nerves had been broken to the extreme, felt that their last courage was about to lose. They had seen too many such "big cakes" in the past few days and had enough of such strange weapons. However, there were only one or two before, but now there are hundreds. Those Japanese soldiers looked at the flying "big cakes" and felt that the sky was about to collapse!
Boom¡ª¡ª
Boom¡ª¡ª
Boom¡ª¡ª
Those "big cakes" did not disappoint the Japanese soldiers. After falling into their army formation, there was a violent explosion. At least three to four thousand lives were taken away. The shogunate army finally began to be in chaos!
The dizzy soldiers who were bombed walked around in the military formation at a loss. Some weak-willed soldiers also began to run away. However, more warriors, unable to suppress the fear in their hearts, chose to launch a suicidal attack on the Ming army. charge!
Tokugawa Hidetada saw everything that happened in the rear army formation, and his old face showed bloodthirsty madness. He shouted: "The whole army attacks, as long as we break into the Ming army formation, victory will belong to us!"
But before Tokugawa Hidetada could finish his words, the first row of soldiers in the Ming army's formation had already opened fire. With the sound of neat volleys of gunfire, a large number of the samurai and ashigaru who were charging bravely were knocked down!
At this time, the shogunate¡¯s army was still a full 200 steps away from the Ming army¡¯s formation. At the same time, the terrifying ¡°big cake¡± was still flying towards the shogunate¡¯s army¡¯s formation!
Gunshots!
The sound of gunfire!
Screams!
These sounds were mixed together, like the calls of hungry ghosts in hell. Tokugawa Hidetada, who had just shouted for an army assault, was completely stunned at this time! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
