Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 678 Kyushu Battle 3
This was definitely the most savage style of play that a samurai had ever encountered.In their impression, a battle should be done first, with repeated attempts to find the opponent's flaws, and the generals have to send a round of letters to each other to greet each other to show politeness, and even give each other a little gift. For them, war seems to be just a game to show off their talents and prove their courage.However, the Tiger Battalion didn't take this at all. After each shot ten arrows and killed the opponent, they picked up the tiger guns and rushed forward. It was clear that they wanted to kill the Japanese with their armored spears!What kind of demeanor do you talk about when you meet in battle?ill!

This savage collision was completely beyond the expectations of the Japanese army. They thought that the Tiger Battalion would continue to shoot at them by virtue of their superiority in bows and arrows.Caught off guard, the iron artillery team standing in the front row was the first to suffer. After firing a bullet, they had no time to reload, and were stabbed through the front and back by the tiger gun.The tiger guns used by the tiger soldiers used to be two and a half meters long, but now they are three meters long. They also use steel bars as the spine, and bamboo strips on the outside.In order to prevent it from being too deep and difficult to pull out, two crescent-shaped hooks are added to the end of the gun blade. This thing can prevent the tiger spear from piercing too deep, and at the same time can cut the enemy's calf and drag him down.This kind of weapon that has been eliminated in the Heluo New Army has become a terrible killing weapon in the hands of the tiger soldiers. After picking up the musketeers, before the Japanese samurai could react, the second row of tiger guns stabbed over again. , without any suspense stabbed one piece.The Japanese samurai let out terrified and hysterical screams, handing over all kinds of weapons desperately, attacking these tiger soldiers frantically, bamboo spears, cross spears, samurai swords, naginata, sickles, chain hammers wrapped around the handle of the sickle... ten All eight kinds of weapons were used, and the tiger soldiers' breastplates, helmets, greaves, and shoulder armor were knocked loudly. The whole battlefield was like a blacksmith's shop, and it was very lively. As for the killing effect...

Very bad!

After all, Japan is an island country, which is their luck and their misfortune.Fortunately, the ocean helped them stop enemies from the mainland, making them free from foreign invasion for more than 2000 years, and they could live their lives behind closed doors. Unfortunately, the ocean isolated them, and they could not be like continental countries. Such interaction with many countries and nations full of blood and wisdom will naturally lead to slow development.They have not faced the powerful cavalry group that comes and goes like the wind, and they have not been able to develop a strong bow and crossbow with a long range; They have not been able to develop more effective armor-piercing weapons; they have not tried the crisis in which the enemy's army marched southward and the life of the entire nation is hanging by a thread, so they have no way to find out an effective mobilization mechanism. When the fight starts, they themselves will be in chaos first.Take a look, I don’t bother to talk about the rubbish of bamboo guns. Their samurai swords, naginata, and sickles look cold and shiny, and they are very scary. The question is, which one is designed for armor-piercing?Let them cut a knife along the thigh bone of the cow, and the knife will probably be useless!The armor-piercing effect of the cross spear is not bad, but the breastplate of the Tiger Soldier is made of high manganese steel, with an average thickness of two millimeters, and it is stamped from a single piece of steel plate.

The chain hammer is still useful, but it's a pity that it's too small—how can the thing tied to the handle of the knife move so much?Knocking on the tiger soldier's helmet can at most make the tiger soldier faint.In a word, the weapons developed by the Japanese army for thousands of years have completely lost their former effect in the face of fierce tiger soldiers. A Japanese samurai flies!
Not fair, so unfair!
Some nimble samurai rolled towards the tiger soldier like a rolling gourd, wielding their samurai swords and desperately slashed at the tiger soldier's calf.With the sharpness of the samurai sword, a leg can be removed with one blow. The sharp samurai sword and the skilled samurai from the next three groups can often disrupt the enemy's spear array - no group of spearmen is there. When facing a group of enemy troops pointing at you with long guns, I saw a group of people rolling over the ground and waving their knives to greet you in three ways.However, this tactic also failed. The samurai sword chopped into the tiger soldier's greaves, and scattered sparks burst out in vain, just like chopping down a stone pillar. The tumbling gourd's legs were broken, and even its head burst.In order to enhance the grip and stabilize the lower plate, tiger soldiers generally wear iron shoes. This thing weighs a few kilograms. What does it feel like to step on it?Only those who are stepped on know.

When Yuan Zongdi led [-] archers to the pier, the tiger soldiers had already defeated the [-] Satsuma troops.Those ashigaru who didn't even have bamboo armor but only a bamboo spear collapsed first, and even the cross spear couldn't pierce the tiger soldier's armor. A sharpened bamboo is useful for eggs!After witnessing the tiger soldiers who can kill them use their tiger spears as long whips, and whipped many feet so lightly that their heads burst and their brains splashed everywhere, they threw down their bamboo spears and ran away screaming... shame It must be embarrassing, but it's better than losing your life!Yuan Zongdi was dumbfounded, these barbarians are too fierce, isn't this the kind of opponent the new army fought in Lushun?How in the end is the victory!It's incredible to think about it.At the same time, he felt psychologically balanced. The Heluo New Army could defeat even such a terrifying opponent. What shame would there be for these rogues composed of bankrupt farmers to lose to the Heluo New Army?
Luo Laosan's ghostly cry interrupted his thoughts: "Boss, what are you thinking? If you don't do anything, these barbarians will kill them all!"

Yuan Zongdi came back to his senses and saw, good guy, the Japanese army has been defeated like a mountain, and even the samurai threw away their samurai swords and joined the ranks of fleeing.He laughed grimly: "No more crossbows, give them a white knife to go in, and a red knife to go out!"

These archers came to support the tiger soldiers, and they were already mentally prepared to fight a fierce battle, but they didn't expect the tiger soldiers to be so fierce. They easily defeated the enemy army twice their size with less fighting. .But since the rogues came, they had to get something, and they couldn't make a trip in vain, so everyone carried their crossbows on their backs, drew their horizontal knives and rushed towards the Japanese army.Now that the Japanese army has been defeated like a mountain, the tiger soldiers disdain to waste energy on this group of frightened remnants and defeated generals, but the rogues will not be stingy with their physical strength, and their armor weighs only one-third of the tiger soldiers One, it is very light, catches up and chops with thorns, and knocks down one when caught.Many Japanese samurai froze as they fled and could no longer run. They lowered their heads and saw, shit, there was a bloody knife tip on their chest.The horizontal knife was pulled out, and they fell to the ground. Before they had time to kick their calves a few times, their heads were chopped off with a single knife.

The soldiers of the Ming army held bloody heads in their hands, brandished horizontal knives and frantically chased down his soldiers. Some felt that they were running too slowly and even threw away their armor. They chased and killed the fleeing enemy with their upper body naked. , Huashan Haogu and the others' eyelids twitched wildly, and a gust of cold air rushed straight from the soles of their feet to their spines.

The knives were cut to his neck!He saw with his own eyes a samurai being wrapped around his neck by a soldier of the Ming army. The soldier of the Ming army was eager to chase down the next enemy, so he held him like this and dragged him forward. He was still struggling violently, but soon his head dropped and he was hooped to death.The soldier of the Ming army failed to catch up with the fleeing warrior, and angrily chopped off the head of the unlucky man who was hooped to death. This scene made Shimadzu shudder with anger, and murmured: "Tiger wolf Qin people... ..."

He guessed right, most of these wolves and tigers came from Shaanxi, and they were the descendants of the Qin people.

Huashan Haogu's face turned blue, he forcibly calmed down, and said: "General, I suggest that the army abandon Kagoshima Castle and retreat first!"

Shimadzu roared angrily: "Baga! Although we lost for a while, we only lost less than a thousand soldiers. I still have tens of thousands of soldiers. Just abandon the city like this? Impossible!"

Huashan Haogu said: "General, the Ming army only dispatched a vanguard, and they overwhelmed our troops twice as large as theirs in an instant. If you win, the Shimadzu family will suffer a lot!"

A sharp arrow flew over and landed at Huashan Haogu's feet, scaring him into a cold sweat.He couldn't care less, pointed at the burning city and called: "General, do you think there is still a way to hold on to Kagoshima City? Although our samurai are loyal and brave, there is no way to keep a furnace!" Whispered in Shimadzu Nushi's ear: "The invasion of the Ming Dynasty is a matter of life and death for the whole of Japan. There is no reason for the Shimadzu family to face this terrible opponent alone!"

Shimadzu Nushi's complexion was uncertain, he bit his lip and remained silent.He is already furious now, and he just wants to use all his troops to fight the Ming army to the death, even if he dies, he must die vigorously, like a real warrior!But he can't do this. He is the lord of the Satsuma clan and the governor of the Shimadzu family. In any case, he can't use the life and death of the entire Satsuma clan to fight against the Ming army. After fighting all the more than 1 elite soldiers, does the Satsuma clan still exist?Does the Shimadzu family still exist?All glory will be wiped out!Besides, what Huashan Haogu said is right, resisting the invasion of the Ming Dynasty is a matter for the whole of Japan, there is no reason for the Shimadzu family to sacrifice so tragically for the benefit of the whole of Japan!
Having figured out these joints, Shimadzu Nushi's eyes burst into flames, and a word burst out from between his teeth: "Withdraw!"
