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

Chapter 773 Bloody Battle at Wusongkou 3
Although he was surprised that the Heluo new army dared to hold their ground without being scared by such fierce artillery fire, the arrogant Miyamoto didn't take it too seriously.He has spent half his life drifting along the coast of China. He has defeated many times with the few and defeated the Ming army ten times larger than himself with dozens or hundreds of warriors. These brilliant achievements have established his respect for the Ming army. Psychological advantage, in his opinion, can defeat these Japanese samurai who are called killing machines under his command, only the more rigorously trained Japanese samurai, the Ming Dynasty guard soldiers who are worse than beggars are not enough.Of course, if he meets Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Li Chengliang and other great people, he can only run away. The problem is that these famous generals have long since passed away, and even their nephews have died. What else should he be afraid of?

Rush up, leap over that ridiculously low parapet, and drink blood with a katana sword!

"kill----"

Miyamoto screamed loudly, the long knife rolled up the wheel, a mass of knife light spread out, and the short legs spread out, faster than the galloping horse, as fast as wind and thunder, unstoppable.His cronies clustered around him, howling loudly, completely ignoring the rows of black holed muzzles, and launched an indomitable charge.They are used to this kind of charge, they are used to this kind of victory, and everything becomes natural.

bang bang bang ————

The Heluo New Army was also accustomed to the enemy's straight-up collision to death. They pulled the trigger in a leisurely manner, and the hammer hit the flint hard. The flying sparks detonated a small amount of thunder mercury stuck on the gun cotton. The thunder mercury explosion produced The heat instantly turned the gunwool into a ball of hot gas. The hollow bullet was expanded by the high-temperature gas, embedded in the rifling, and spun out along the rifling at high speed. All this happened within a few tenths of a second. finished. The Japanese samurai 60 meters away seemed to be buried in a huge amount of firecrackers and then detonated. The head, chest cavity, and abdominal cavity burst open, spurting out a large amount of blood. He fell to the ground and howled in an instant, and he was completely dead before he even fell to the ground.

Miyamoto's pupils shrank involuntarily, the muskets of the new army are so terrifying?Underestimated the enemy, really underestimated the enemy!
But now even if he finds that the situation is wrong, there is nothing he can do-they are almost in front of the guns of the new army now!The soldiers of the new army behind the parapet handed back the empty musket, then took the loaded musket from the comrade behind, and pulled the trigger again. The whole action was completed within a few seconds, and another The rain of bullets roared, and the Japanese samurai wailed again and overturned a large area!

"Ahhh my feet!!!"

"There are hidden weapons on the ground, there are hidden weapons on the ground!"

"It hurts so much——Damn Ming people——"

Between the gunshots, shrill screams came one after another. The Japanese samurai who could have jumped over the parapet and killed the new army soldiers by rushing forward a dozen steps were holding their bloody soles one by one, crying in pain. All came out.Unfortunately, Miyamoto was also hit. Something sharp seemed to have penetrated deeply into the sole of his foot. The pain caused his muscles to twitch violently. When he lowered his head, he saw, what a good guy, it was cut from a very thin piece of metal. Cross-shaped hidden weapons are scattered all over the floor. This kind of small thing is very inconspicuous, but if you don’t wear shoes, stepping on it will definitely hurt you. Most Japanese samurai have no habit of wearing shoes—— —They are good at sneak attacks. If they wear shoes, they will make noise when walking, which is not good for sneak attacks, so now they are caught.These inconspicuous hidden weapons brought the wave of Japanese samurai attacks to an abrupt end, but the new army did not stop. The volleys of guns poured out one after another, mowing down the Japanese samurai who were holding their feet and screaming in rows.

Miyamoto's eyes were about to bleed. Damn it, the soldiers of the new army in front of him were only about [-] people, and only about [-] muskets fired at a time. Why is it so difficult!

Oh, by the way, although there are not many of them, the density of firepower is astonishing. They fire a salvo every five seconds, endlessly, as if their barrels will never get hot and the bullets in the barrels will never be exhausted. Similar!Damn, why do they reload so fast?What kind of muskets did they use? The rate of fire was at least twice as fast as ordinary muskets!

Now it's troublesome.

call out----

Miyamoto, who was overwhelmed by the fierce firepower of Heluo's new army, immediately realized that his troubles had just begun.Two balls of white smoke rose in the distance, followed by piercing screams, and the two shells screamed strangely all the way, drawing a high parabola in the air, and stabbing down among them!boom!boom!Two groups of black and red flames swelled among the Japanese samurai. The eyes of more than 500 Japanese samurai were blacked out. They were either torn apart by the explosion shock wave or sieved by the high-speed flying shrapnel. Centered on the explosion point, the Japanese samurai There were two more bloody circles, which was horrible.Before they could react, two more shots were fired, this time causing more casualties, more than thirty Japanese samurai were overturned and never got up again. 120 meters away, two [-]mm thunderbolt cannons fired recklessly, and the shells smashed into the middle of the Japanese samurai in pairs, blowing them to pieces.In this era, the lethality of artillery is still at the stage of solid shot balls rolling over broken limbs, and they don't know anything about the lethality of high-explosive bombs. Skills such as lying on the ground to avoid shelling and digging holes are all generations It has been explored by generations with blood and life, and it has continued to evolve with the escalation of artillery lethality. Now this exploration stage has not yet begun. Naturally, don't expect Japanese samurai to understand this. Facing artillery shells planted from high altitude, they The only thing I can do is to be in a daze, and then be blown away by clumps!
The battle turned into a massacre.

Zheng Zhibao was already dumbfounded, and pointed to the clusters of flames rushing high among the Japanese samurai and called out, "What kind of cannon did those black skins use? They should be firing bombs, right? Why...why are theirs?" The explosive power is so amazing?"

All the generals looked at each other, unable to answer.Now countries around the world are using a large number of bombs, but the power is quite touching. It can produce more than a dozen fragments. The loud sound and flames of the explosion intimidate the enemy and shake their morale. Even if it is useless to the people, it can also cause great shock to the horses and camels they ride, and the generals will be in a mess.However, the lightning cannons used by the Heluo New Army severely refreshed their understanding of flowering bombs. What kind of cannon stick is this? It is clearly an invincible weapon for killing people and stealing goods!
Where the hell did these Yankees get such powerful shells?Even Xiyi doesn't have such a thing!
A series of violent roars and thunderstorms exploded, and smoke and fire suddenly erupted from the forts, shaking the ground... Just when Zheng Zhibao's attention was attracted by the battle on the pier, the artillerymen of the Heluo New Army suddenly launched an attack. Eighteen 85mm howitzers and four 120mm cannons aimed at two large warships with a displacement of more than [-] tons and roared at the same time. When it rises, the water mist rushes, and the explosion is like thunder!This sudden attack shocked everyone in Zheng's fleet, the artillery of the Heluo New Army was so powerful! ?
Probably because it was the first time to hit the species at sea, the Heluo New Army did not perform well in the first shelling. Most of the shells went into the sea, killing a lot of fish, but the people were not blown up, and there were two shells. The crooked strike hit a 20-ton light warship and immediately blew up the warship to pieces.However, after all, this was a direct-point shooting at a short distance of several hundred meters. More than [-] cannons fired at the same time, and one shell still hit the target.

More than 20 shells flew over and only one was hit. It's a bit lucky, it's really good news.

The bad news is: it was a 120mm high-explosive incendiary bomb.

This deadly shell pierced the deck like chopsticks poking tofu, and exploded in the cabin. The terrible explosion power blasted the two ship walls into hundreds of millions of sawdust that shot four times at explosive speed, and shot dozens of sailors into pieces. sea ​​urchin.The white phosphorous inside the shell flew out with the explosion, stained the hull coated with waterproof grease and asphalt, and burned violently. Almost in the blink of an eye, the cabin was engulfed in flames.Those poor sailors have never encountered such a terrible situation. Seeing the fire spreading wildly in the cabin, their faces turned pale with fright, some screamed in fright, some tried to escape, and some tried to put out the fire. It's like a stabbed ant's nest, it's in disarray.In far away Venice, the power of the brimstone bomb made the Venetian navy dumbfounded, shouting "this is a weapon made by the devil", and the white phosphorus bomb equipped by the new army of Heluo is much more terrifying than the brimstone bomb. For those who are lucky enough to taste it For the sailors of Zheng's Fleet, that is simply hell!

However, the artillerymen of the Heluo New Army were very dissatisfied with their achievements. The artillery commander roared: "Boys, you just threw half a month's wages of our entire battalion into the sea! Those who don't want to be deducted all their wages are Cheer me up and aim well!"

This is absolutely true. Like the 85mm howitzer, one shell costs half a month's salary of an ordinary soldier. Of course the commander feels distressed when so many shells are empty.The artillerymen, who had been stunned, cheered up and fired again.This time Zheng's fleet was not so lucky. Three large warships were hit by shells, and the flames shot up into the sky.The warship that was hit by a 120mm high-explosive incendiary bomb won the lottery again. It was hit by two 85mm caliber incendiary bombs and a 120mm caliber high-explosive bomb, causing more injuries. The cabin was filled with fireworks and the fire was out of control. The madness spread.Several sailors whose clothes were on fire were screaming and rolling around. The fire burned wherever they rolled, and they rolled to the gun emplacement. The flames fluttering around detonated the gunpowder barrels piled nearby, and there was only a flash of lightning. Flash, the earth-shattering explosion made the hull of the ship emit a horrifying explosion. The sailors running around were torn to pieces in the expanding explosion air waves. The screams and cries were earth-shattering, and correspondingly, there were huge explosions one after another. The gunpowder stacked on the ship was detonated one by one by violent explosions and spreading flames. This large battleship that unfortunately came to Lao Lao's home was like a cruiser being bombarded indiscriminately by countless heavy bombs. It shattered, cracked, and burned crazily with loud explosions. The hull shook violently like crazy, shaking unfixed cannons, gunpowder barrels, and sailors whose hair and clothes were on fire like dumplings into the sea. The situation was so tragic. Unheard of!

Zheng Zhibao stared blankly at all this as if under the spell of petrification, his face was pale, his eyes were staring, and he was speechless.The fierce counterattack of the Heluo New Army and the power of the artillery completely exceeded his most exaggerated imagination. The deafening sound of the artillery, the surging fire and water jets, and the cries and screams of the sailors It seems that the Heluo New Army made a silent mockery of him:
You are too weak!
