Rise From the Humble

Haneda Hyoutarou's pupils shrank sharply, and fear appeared on his arrogant face. He would never forget this scene in front of him in his life.

After a dense and neat round of "bang bang bang" gunfire from the Zhejiang army on the opposite side, the Japanese friends charging in front of him were cut down like wheat, and nearly a third of their men fell in an instant.

Especially the figure in the front wearing large armor and wielding a pheasant knife fell unwillingly.

It stung Haneda Hyoutaro's eyes deeply.

That was Matsushita Hidetsu-sama, a fierce general who wielded a pheasant sword and cut down a sentry horse of the Ming army. In just three months since he landed in the Ming Dynasty, Hidetsu-sama had visited the Ming people's county four times and once attacked the Ming army's county. At that time, Tairen Xiuji's armor was filled with arrows, like a hedgehog, fighting endlessly, scaring the Ming army to abandon the city and flee!

Matsushita Hidetsu-sama is the number one warrior appointed by Lord Hojo, and he is also recognized as the number one warrior worthy of his name. He is as brave and good at fighting as I am, but I cannot survive ten rounds under Matsushita Hidetsu-sama.

But now, that incomparably brave man was beaten to death by random cannons before he even had a fight with Nian Nian, and he fell unwillingly.

Just when Haneda Hyoutarou's mentality was shaken by the burst of gunfire and he was in a trance, he saw from the corner of his eye behind the low wall in front, the Ming army retreated after firing, and the Ming army in the back row pushed back. Come up.

"Bang bang bang"

The life-threatening gunshot sounded again.

Haneda Hyōtaro once again saw the scene of wheat harvesting, and large swaths of Japanese pirates fell down again.

Almost all the Japanese pirates who rushed at the front were dead. Only two lucky Japanese pirates stood alone among the dead bodies. A burst of warmth flowed out of their crotches uncontrollably. They had killed countless people and were frightened to the point of peeing.

After these two rounds of gunfire, only about a hundred of the six hundred Japanese pirates who were in front were left.

In addition to the Japanese pirates including Haneda Hyoutarou who abandoned his bow and rushed up behind him, there were only about 200 Japanese pirates left in the vanguard.

Behind the low wall in front, the Zhejiang army began to switch between the front and rear rows again. The Zhejiang army that let go of the firecrackers pushed to the back row, and the Ming army in the back row held the firecrackers flat on top again, switching back and forth as skillfully as switching from left hand to right hand.

"withdraw!"

"Run! The Ming army is going to fire cannons again! If you don't run, you will die!"

The remaining two hundred or so Japanese pirates saw the Ming army switching again. I don't know who took the lead and shouted. Almost all the Japanese pirates turned around and ran back, including Haneda Hyoutarou himself, who also turned around and ran back uncontrollably.

If they don't run away, when the Ming army opens fire, all these two hundred of them will be left here, as evidenced by the Japanese pirates lying on the ground.

They are brave and they kill without batting an eye, but that doesn't mean they are not afraid of death. When faced with death, they will still wet their pants. At this moment, they only hate their parents for not having two legs, and they only hate that they run too slowly.

But just when they turned around and ran, the intensive sound of gunshots from behind sounded again, "bang bang bang".

The Japanese pirates who ran slowly and fell behind almost all fell to the ground after the gunshots were fired.

In the end, there were less than a hundred Japanese pirates left who managed to escape with their lives.

The largest number of them were Japanese pirates such as Haneda Hyōtaro who abandoned their bows. They were behind when they charged and had the upper hand when escaping.

The three-wheeled fire blunderbuss takes less than a minute in terms of time.

In just one minute, 800 Japanese pirate forwards rushed into the battle, leaving more than 700 corpses behind and fled.

"Baga! Baga! Die, die!"

Hojo Douzan, who was watching the battle from behind, couldn't help but cursed when he saw this scene, and he became furious.

Haneda Hyoutarou just escaped from the battle with his life. Before he could catch his breath, the angry Hojo Dou slapped him in the face more than a dozen times, causing his mouth to bleed. , his face was swollen like a dog’s butt.

Haneda Hyoutarou nodded repeatedly, hey, hey, hey, he didn't dare to wipe the blood on his mouth and let it flow.

He knew that Lord Hojo had been merciful to him. If he hadn't remembered his past achievements, what greeted him at this moment would not have been a dozen loudmouths, but the sword in Lord Hojo's waist.

"No wonder that guy from Nakamura told me that during the sacrifice to the sea, even the iron can't withstand such a dense fire!"

After Hojo Douzan shook off more than a dozen big mouths of Haneda Hyōtaro, he calmed down a bit and couldn't help but sigh.

The Zhejiang Army’s firearms are too fierce! He has never seen so many iron cannons firing together, and he has never seen such iron cannons used in such a way!

In their Japanese country, iron cannons have just entered the war stage. Even the famous Xiong Ba side has only a few hundred iron cannon ashigaru under their command. Each iron cannon ashigaru costs five to six hundred kan. To be able to equip and train them, and to maintain the iron cannon ashigaru with more than a hundred people, the daimyo had to grit his teeth to maintain it.

The Japanese country only used the iron cannon as a weapon, using its lethality and armor-breaking power to assassinate key figures such as enemy generals and cavalry.

Where have I seen such intensive use of iron cannons like the Zhejiang Army? The Zhejiang Army only had one round of iron cannons, and at least 300 iron cannons fired at the same time. After the front row finished firing, they retreated, and the rear row stepped forward and continued to fire. The interval between the front and back was no more than one. Breathing time.

The iron cannon is like a violent storm. In the face of this iron rain, the armor with amazing defensive power is like paper.

Can the iron cannon still be used like this? !

Hojo Dozo was deeply shocked.

"Damn it, the Ming Dynasty is so rich that it can afford such a large-scale iron cannon ashigaru!"

The next second, Hojo Dosan couldn't help but cursed, and then the covetousness for Daming in his heart grew higher and higher!

The Ming Dynasty was so rich. Damn it, the people of Ming Dynasty occupied such a rich continent, what a waste of natural resources!

Such a rich continent should be occupied by us Japanese!

Seeing the 800 Japanese pirate vanguards sinking into the sand within a few breaths, the Japanese chiefs Chen Dong, Maye and other Japanese chiefs couldn't help but look cautious. They didn't expect the Zhejiang army's firearms to be so sharp.

"Trenched, I knew from the initial investigation that the Zhejiang Army's firearms were dangerous, but I didn't expect them to be so dangerous! Why do the Zhejiang Army have so many muskets! Don't they only have two thousand people? According to the normal weapons and equipment of the Ming Army, the Zhejiang Army There are at most five or six hundred firecrackers, but they don’t all have a handful of firecrackers, right?!”

Chen Dong cursed angrily and was shocked by the sharp firearms of the Zhejiang Army. He did not expect the Zhejiang Army's firearms to be so fierce.

"Even if they don't have a blunderbuss in their hands, it's not much different. The Zhejiang Army's firearms are too fierce! It's hard to deal with them."

Maye frowned.

The arrogant and arrogant Japanese pirate army of more than 30,000 people fell silent at this moment.

There were more than 800 Japanese pirate vanguards, all of whom were experienced warriors, the best among the best, and all wore armor. However, within a few breaths, they were almost completely wiped out. They had never suffered such a defeat before. Woolen cloth.
