I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Kuroda walked towards Gui Yizheng quickly, and continued to shout to Gui Yizheng loudly:

"All the generals are here."

"Okay." Gui Yizheng nodded, then got off his horse and looked behind him.

Behind Gui Yizheng, all the senior generals of the First Army had gathered together and formed a small phalanx to recuperate. Qiuyue, who had recovered a lot from her injuries, was also among them.

"Everyone." Gui Yizheng moved his gaze, letting his gaze slide over the faces of the generals in front of him one by one, "I don't need to elaborate, you should also know what this battle means to us."

All the generals had a serious face and looked like they were fighting against each other.

"This battle is a battle that can restore our face!"

Gui Yizheng suddenly raised his volume and pitch.

"This battle is a battle that can restore our honor!"

"Let the rest of the soldiers see our abilities!"

"Let the barbarians in the city see how stupid they are for trying to resist. Let them see how powerful our warriors are!"

Gui Yizheng held up the military equipment in his hand: "Hey! Hey!"

"Oh!" All the generals including Kuroda shouted in unison.

Gui Yizheng: "Hey! Hey!"

Generals: "Oh!"

It turned out that after Gui Yizheng shouted "Hey! Hey!", the generals just said "Oh!"

But this shout seemed to have a highly contagious virus, and it quickly "spread".

First, the soldiers near the main formation began to shout together.

Then, soldiers farther away began to follow.

In the end, all the generals of the 1st Army shouted in unison.

Gui Yizheng: "Hey! Hey!"

All the generals: "Oh!!"

Gui Yizheng: "Hey! Hey!"

All the generals: "Oh!!"

The sound waves formed by their unison shouts pressed down on the Red Moon Fortress with overwhelming momentum.

Facing the wave after wave of voices, even though everyone was trying their best to suppress them, fear and panic still appeared on the faces of most people involuntarily.

After Gui Yizheng shouted until his throat was a little hoarse, he turned to face the Red Moon Fortress, and swung the military equipment in his hand down.

"Blowing off!"

"attack!!"

Woo!Woo!Woo!Woo!

A conch horn sounded in a hurry, resounding through the sky.

The generals of the first army in a tight phalanx split into more than a dozen "trickle streams" and rushed towards the Red Moon Fortress after the sound of the conch horn.

The sound of swallowing saliva due to nervousness and panic resounded one after another on the inner and outer walls of the Red Moon Fortress.

but at this moment

"For thousands of years, we Ainu have fought and failed repeatedly!"

Chanup's voice suddenly sounded on the inner wall.

Everyone focused their eyes on this tall and standing figure.

"If Heren is interested in our land, there is no place he cannot occupy!"

"One step forward with others, we can only take one step back! We are constantly losing land!"

"I can't remember how many hundreds of years ago we Ainu last held our land in front of Kazuto!"

"but"

Chanup shouted with all his might.

"Even if we are defeated for a thousand years, we will not lose the courage to face the powerful enemy!"

"If we win this battle, it will be the first time in the hundreds of years that we Ainu people have successfully stopped the Japanese army! Keep our land!"

"This small piece of land under our feet is insignificant compared to our vast land that has been taken away by humans for thousands of years!"

"But it will also be our brilliant blow!!"

When Chanup's shout fell, some of the tribe members closest to Chanup shouted: "Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!"

Then, the same "infection" as the first army just now appeared.

More and more people shouted along.

The sound waves formed by the shouts of the Ainu people on the city wall were not inferior to the First Army just now.

Amidst the waves of cheers, Chanup raised the spear in his hand and pointed it at the wolves outside the city that were rushing towards them.

"Attack!!"

Three years of leniency.

The Edo Shogunate against the Red Moon Fortress.

Or rather: Kazuto vs Ainu

The offensive and defensive battle of Red Moon Fortress begins!

In this chapter, Gui Yizheng's "Hey! Hey! Oh!", should be familiar to those who have played games with the theme of the Warring States Period in Japan, or watched film and television works with the theme of the Warring States Period in Japan.

At first glance, there is a sense of joy, but this is a tradition in ancient Japan when fighting.

This kind of cry is called "Sheng 簟 Bo Bo"

Before starting a battle, the general usually shouts "Hey! Hey!", and then the people below say "Oh!"

Although it sounds a little joyful, if you try it, you will find that this kind of shouting is quite exciting.

Used to boost morale and deter enemies.

And after the battle is won, there will be another shout like this.

Chapter 554 The slap in the face of the shogunate came so quickly [6600 words]

There was a technical failure yesterday, and I can only watch the free chapters and subscribed chapters of this book. There is no way to subscribe to new chapters, and there is no way to vote or tip.

I really didn't expect such a low-probability event to fall on me.

In the urgent repair of the staff, the repair was completed at noon yesterday, so since noon yesterday, the book has returned to normal status and has been updated as usual.

So everyone should continue to do what they should do in the future. There is nothing wrong with this book.

The Red Moon Fortress was adjacent to the river in the north, west, and east directions, and it was impossible to spread out troops to attack the city walls in these three directions.

Therefore, the shogunate army can only attack the south of the Red Moon Fortress. This is undoubtedly a great benefit for the Red Moon Fortress with fewer troops, and it can concentrate its forces.

For the shogunate army, which can only attack in one direction, it is impossible to maximize its strength in strength.

The inner and outer walls of the Red Moon Fortress have already been deployed.

On the outer city wall, there are clansmen who hold various melee weapons and are responsible for driving down the Kazuren who climbed up the city wall.

On the inner city wall, archers and musketeers for long-range strikes are deployed.

The musketeers holding muskets lined up in the middle of the inner city wall in a "one" shape.

When Heren's conch horn sounded, the musketeers leveled their muskets one after another, pointing their muzzles at the Heren army that was rushing towards them outside the city.

The flintlock guns they used had a longer range than bows and arrows, so they were naturally the ones who launched the first wave of attacks.

After the generals of the First Army carrying the long ladders entered the shooting range of the musketeers, gunshots erupted immediately on the inner city wall.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

The gunshot sounded like popping beans, and the air pressure directly surpassed Kazuto's momentum.

Japan is a country that lacks iron ore, so it is naturally impossible to install luxury equipment such as iron shields on a large scale.

The shields that dominated the ancient Japanese army have always been wooden shields.

Although they held up their shields to guard against long-range attacks when they rushed to the city wall of the Red Moon Fortress with long ladders, their shields were no different from a piece of paper when facing the bullets fired by the flintlock guns.

However, flintlock guns also have shortcomings, that is, their shooting accuracy is very poor.

A row of projectiles roared away, and less than 10 projectiles successfully hit the enemy soldiers.

However, although these projectiles whizzing away did not kill too many enemy soldiers, they dealt a great blow to the enemy's aura.

A scorching bullet cut through the air, wrapped in great power, hit the forehead of a soldier who was in charge of carrying the long ladder, and shot through the soldier's head.

Because of the high speed and powerful energy of the projectile, brain matter, skull fragments and blood formed a mist together, sprayed out from the back of the soldier's head, and landed on the face of a soldier behind him who was also carrying a long ladder superior.

Where has this soldier seen such a formation?

Whether it is the direct troops of the shogunate or the vassal armies of various vassals, the vast majority of their soldiers have not heard of war for a long time, and they don't know what the "blood splatter" is like.

After witnessing the tragic death of the companion who was fine just now but was shot to death in the next second, and the "mixed liquid" sprayed by the shot companion was sprinkled on the face, this The soldiers were dumbfounded.

For a while, I even forgot to wipe off these "mixed liquids" on my face.

After several seconds, the soldier finally came back to his senses.

After regaining consciousness, the blood on the soldier's face dissipated extremely quickly.

Subsequently

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

It made a shrill cry that didn't seem like a human cry.

Stimulated by this huge shock and fear, the soldier only felt his legs go weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

Similar scenes continue to happen around all the soldiers who were unfortunately shot.

After finishing a shot, the musketeer immediately handed the empty musket to an assistant beside him who was responsible for loading the projectile.

The assistant handed another flintlock loaded with bullets to the shooter, and then took the newly emptied musket handed by the shooter and began to reload, while the shooter continued to shoot with the new gun loaded with bullets in his hand.

Although Chanup and the others don't know how to defend the city, they still understand the fact that "alternate fire with muskets can increase shooting efficiency" for those who live a life of fishing and hunting and have deep understanding and experience in shooting. of.

They had a total of 80 flintlocks.There are a total of 20 shooters in charge of shooting. Each shooter has 4 muskets and 3 assistants to assist them in reloading. The shooting strategy of "changing guns without changing people" is adopted.

After the musketeers took the lead and poured out non-stop firepower on the soldiers of the shogunate army outside the city, it was finally the turn of the archers to play.

The general of the First Army carrying the long ladder pressed the musket bullets and pushed forward for a while before hearing the sound of vibrating strings on the wall in front of him.

Arrows like locusts drew a beautiful parabola, jumped from the inner city wall, and smashed towards the generals of the First Army.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"it hurts!"

"Save me! Save me!"

The screams and screams became more frequent and dense as the blood splashed.

Archery is a specialty of the Ainu people who are fishermen and hunters.

Unlike flintlock guns, which are difficult to control shooting accuracy, for the Ainu, bows and arrows are much easier to control.

Although the generals of the First Army managed to stop most of the arrows by relying on their armor and the shields in their hands, a small half of the arrows still passed through the gaps between the shields and hit the unarmored place.

Ashgaru, who account for the vast majority of the army's generals, wear extremely simple armor. There are no shoulder armor, arm armor, etc., only simple breastplate and skirt armor. Many parts of the body are not armored at all. defended.

The arrows they shoot do not have the concept of "injury".

Either "shoot to death" or "shoot to nothing".

Because the arrowhead of each arrow is coated with the toxin specially used by the Ainu people for hunting.

These poisonous arrows, which can't even walk a few steps after being hit by a bear, are shot at people, so there is no reason for "this person survived".

Those generals who were shot by these poisonous arrows turned blue and collapsed to the ground after uttering a few painful cries, and were poisoned to death.

These arrows, which are sure to die if hit, naturally put a lot of pressure on the generals of the first army.
