Become a feudal king from today

"Boom boom boom..."

Twelve field guns continued to fire grapeshot at the Japanese soldiers.

Due to the replacement of yellow gunpowder, the range and power of the field artillery were increased.

In the past, field artillery fired grape bombs and could only kill enemies at 400 meters.

But now, they can fire grapeshot from six hundred meters away from the enemy.

And because the artillery is located on the left and right wings, their field of vision is very wide, and there are no obstacles in the flight path of the artillery shells, so they can shoot at any position of the Japanese army.

Under the bombardment of artillery shells, the Japanese soldiers in the front row continued to fall.

Almost every grapeshot shot killed a small band of Japanese soldiers.

However, the Japanese soldiers were still advancing, and the gaps in the front row were filled by the Japanese soldiers behind them.

Since the two sides were five hundred meters apart, the lines could only move forward in steps to prevent chaos.

During the march of 150 meters, the Japanese army was constantly attacked by artillery.

When the distance between the two sides was only 200 meters, Japanese soldiers who suffered more than 600 casualties were left behind along the road.

At this moment, all the Marines stopped and raised their rifles.

The Japanese soldiers were still advancing, trying to get within 130 meters to shoot.

"Fire"

Fifteen hundred Marines, divided into five hundred people per line, formed three large lines, corresponding to the length of the Japanese line.

Just like this, they are not like the Japanese army in that they can still keep a reserve force.

But, apparently, they don't need to.

"Bang bang bang..." the general ordered.

The rifled gun lit up with a burst of fire, and the bullet penetrated the air and hit the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side.

In an instant, more than three hundred Japanese soldiers fell down like wheat blown by the strong wind.

Then, the Marines quickly fired their second and third rounds.

In just thirty seconds, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers fell to the guns of the Marines.

At this time, the field artillery attacks continued.

Artillery shells fell one after another, and screams were heard from time to time among the Japanese army.

The Nine Ghost Well is located in the middle of the array.

Sitting on the pony, he could observe the battlefield clearly.

Seeing that the Japanese soldiers in the two rows in front suffered heavy casualties, his heart lifted.

The muskets of King Yan's soldiers not only had a long range, but also seemed to be very accurate, which their muskets could not do.

Even within a hundred and thirty meters, one round of their shooting could only kill or injure 20 to 30% of the soldiers on the opposite side.

The opponent was able to kill 60% of the Japanese soldiers at a distance of two hundred meters.

Seeing this scene, his heart sank.

The confidence to win began to waver.

Just thinking that this battle is related to the honor of the Kuuki family, and they have no way to retreat on the isolated island of Ryukyu, he can only choose to continue fighting.

Like him, many Japanese generals were still shouting slogans to order the soldiers to move forward.

But fear has filled their bodies.

The soldiers were even more unbearable, especially the Japanese soldiers in the front row. Their clothes were stained with blood. This was the blood of the soldiers who had just been shot.

Before setting off, they were in high spirits, but the opponent's artillery and three rounds of shooting made them realize that this battle was tantamount to massacre.

They didn't even meet the enemy, but killed and wounded more than two thousand people.

"Bang bang bang..." Another round of gunfire rang out.

The walking Japanese soldiers fell down in a row again, followed by a second and third round of shooting.

More than a thousand people were killed and injured again, but the Japanese soldiers still did not stop. Soldiers from the reserve team added to the front line and continued to advance.

Jiugui just wanted to get within 130 meters and shoot at the opponent.

Thus, with their numbers, they could still win despite heavy losses.

But just like the scattered soldiers who were dealing with the opponent just now, these Yanzhou soldiers shot back from the front row for about five meters.

This means that they are advancing and the other party is retreating in an orderly manner.

The two sides remained within range of their flintlock muskets.

Round after round of shooting.

The corpses of Japanese soldiers covered the road they walked.

At the same time, the skirmishers were not idle and kept shooting Japanese soldiers on the flanks.

When there were only more than 2,000 Japanese troops left, Jiuguijing hiding in the middle of the army looked very eye-catching.

He immediately attracted the attention of artillerymen and skirmishers.

The artillerymen loaded grapeshot and pointed the muzzles at Jiugui.

The skirmishers also targeted him on his pony.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Bang bang bang..." The sound of cannons and gunfire sounded at the same time.

Kukiei, who was trying his best to maintain the line formation, flew out before he could react.

A grapeshot hit him in the chest, shattering his sternum and nearly piercing his lung.

Looking at the blue sky above his head, he kept spitting out blood.

"General!" The two Japanese generals rushed towards Jiuguijing, their eyes red.

"Avenge me! Kill every Daisong person!" Jiuguijing firmly grabbed the hands of the two generals.

His eyes widened angrily and he tilted his head.

Seeing that Jiugui was not breathing, the two generals raised their heads, pulled out the Japanese swords from their waists, and shouted: "They killed the general and avenged him!"

At this moment, they no longer cared about the lines and let the remaining Japanese soldiers charge.

Some Japanese soldiers were extremely frightened and stood there refusing to move forward.

The Japanese general slashed their necks with Japanese swords without hesitation. The sword flashed and a human head fell to the ground.

"This is the fate of cowards." The Japanese general picked up the soldiers' heads and threw them into the air. "Deserts will be killed without mercy."

Seeing this, the Japanese soldiers who were about to flee took a step back in fear, and had to shout and rush towards the Yanzhou soldiers.

But their charge was doomed to be in vain.

Each Marine carried sixty rounds of bullets, and their ammunition was enough to deal with a high-intensity war.

Aiming at the Japanese soldiers rushing over, they pulled the trigger one after another.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Another group of Japanese soldiers fell.

On the battlefield, the densely packed Japanese soldiers began to appear sparse.

After this round of three-stage shooting, the Japanese army, which had only more than a thousand people left, finally could not bear it anymore.

They fled south desperately regardless of the Japanese generals' hacking.

Seeing this, Pan Chang ordered the Marines to press forward.

"Kelouxi Dai Yalu!" When the Marines moved forward, an injured Japanese soldier lying on the ground suddenly got up, with a ferocious expression, and pounced on a Marine, and the dagger in his hand was about to stab his chest.

"Puchi!" The sound of the knife entering the flesh sounded.

The Marines made a stab, stabbing the heart of the Japanese soldiers.

"Go to the dock!" The whole battlefield returned to calm, and Pan Chang ordered.

Half an hour later, they arrived near the dock.

After reconnaissance, Pan Chang ordered to attack the artillery directly.

Because the artillery of the artillery faced the sea, the artillery was heavy and could not turn.

They made a detour and attacked from the back, and the Japanese soldiers at the artillery could not fight back at all.

However, the Japanese army they defeated was obviously not all the Japanese soldiers on Zhongdao.

A Japanese army of 4,000 people appeared on their way to the artillery, preventing them from seizing the artillery.

But 8,000 Japanese soldiers were not their opponents, and these 4,000 people were just a tactic of adding fuel to the fire.

In less than half an hour, they defeated this Japanese army and continued to march towards the artillery.
