Heitaro Haneda's vagina shrank rapidly, and fear appeared on his arrogant face. He would never forget this scene in his life.
After a round of dense and orderly "bang bang bang" gunfire from the Zhejiang army on the opposite side, the Japanese friends who were charging in front of him were cut down like wheat, and nearly one-third of the men were killed in an instant.
Especially the figure in the front, wearing heavy armor and wielding a Kusanagi sword, fell down unwillingly.
It deeply hurt Heitaro Haneda's eyes.
That was Master Matsushita Hidetsugu, a fierce general who wielded a Kusanagi sword and chopped down a Ming army sentry. In just three months since landing in the Ming Dynasty, Master Hidetsugu had attacked the Ming county four times. During one attack on a Ming county, Master Hidetsugu's armor was full of arrows, and he fought like a hedgehog, scaring the Ming army into abandoning the city and fleeing!
Lord Matsushita Hidetsugu is the most powerful general chosen by Lord Hojo, and is also recognized and worthy of the title as the most powerful general. Even though I am brave and good at fighting, I can't last more than ten rounds under Lord Matsushita Hidetsugu.
But now, that brave man was shot to death by a hail of bullets before he could even fight with Nian Nian, and he fell down unwillingly.
Just when Heita Haneda's mentality was shattered and his mind was in a daze due to the sound of gunfire, he saw from the corner of his eye that the Ming army, which had just opened fire, was retreating behind the low wall in front of him, and the Ming army in the back row was charging forward.
"Bang, bang, bang"
The fatal gunshot rang out again.
Heitaro Haneda once again saw the scene of wheat harvesting, and large numbers of Japanese pirates fell down.
Almost all the Japanese pirates who were in the front were killed. Only two lucky ones were standing alone among the corpses. A warm current flowed out from their crotches uncontrollably. They were so scared to pee their pants after killing countless people.
After these two rounds of gunfire, only about a hundred of the six hundred Japanese pirate vanguards were left.
Including the Japanese pirates like Haneda Heitaro who threw away their bows and rushed forward, there were only about two hundred Japanese pirates left in the vanguard.
Behind the low wall in front, the Zhejiang Army began to switch between the front and back rows again. The Zhejiang Army who released their muskets pushed to the back row, and the Ming Army in the back row once again held their muskets horizontally on top, switching between the front and back rows as skillfully as switching from the left hand to the right hand.
"withdraw!"
"Run! The Ming army is about to fire their cannons again! If you don't run, you'll die!"
When the remaining 200-odd Japanese pirates saw the Ming army switching positions again, someone took the lead and shouted, and almost all of them turned around and ran back, including Heita Haneda himself, who turned around and ran back uncontrollably.
If they don't run away, once the Ming army opens fire, these two hundred people will all die here, as evidenced by the Japanese pirates lying on the ground.
They are brave and they kill without blinking an eye, but that doesn't mean they are not afraid of death. When facing death, they will still wet their pants. At this moment, they only hate their parents for not giving them two more legs, and they only hate that they run too slowly.
But just as they turned around and ran, the deadly sound of gunfire rang out again from behind, "bang bang bang".
The Japanese pirates who ran slowly and fell behind were almost all killed and fell to the ground after the gunshots.
In the end, there were less than a hundred Japanese pirates left who managed to escape.
The largest number of them were Japanese pirates like Haneda Heitaro who had abandoned their bows. They were at the back during the charge, but had the advantage during the escape.
The three-wheeled musket took less than a minute to fire.
In just one minute, the 800 Japanese pirate vanguards fled, leaving behind more than 700 corpses.
"Baka! Baka! He's dead!"
Hojo Michisan, who was watching the fight from behind, couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene, and he was furious.
Heitaro Haneda had just escaped from the battlefield, but before he could catch his breath, he was slapped a dozen times in the face by the angry Hojo Michiba. His mouth was bleeding and his face was swollen like a dog's butt.
Heitaro Haneda nodded repeatedly and said "hi, hi, hi", not daring to wipe the blood from his mouth, just letting it flow.
He knew that Lord Hojo had shown mercy to his men. If it weren't for his past contributions, what would have greeted him at this moment would not have been a dozen slaps in the face, but the katana on Lord Hojo's waist.
"No wonder Nakamura died there during the sea sacrifice. Even a strong man can't withstand such dense fire!"
After slapping Haneda Heitaro a dozen times, Hojo Michisan calmed down a bit and couldn't help but sigh.
The Zhejiang Army's firearms were too fierce! He had never seen so many iron cannons firing at the same time, nor had he seen such a way of using iron cannons!
In their country of Japan, arquebus had just appeared on the battlefield. Even the daimyo who dominated one side had only a few hundred arquebus foot soldiers under their command. Each arquebus foot soldier cost five or six hundred kan of funds to equip and train. Maintaining such a large number of arquebus foot soldiers required a lot of effort on the part of the daimyo.
The Japanese only used the iron cannon as a trump card, taking advantage of its lethality and armor-piercing power to secretly attack key figures such as enemy generals and cavalry.
Where have I ever seen such intensive use of iron cannons as that of the Zhejiang Army? In just one round of iron cannon fire, at least three hundred cannons fired simultaneously. The front row fired and retreated, while the back row stepped forward and continued firing, with only a breath of time between the two.
The iron cannon was like a violent storm. In the face of this iron rain, the armor with amazing defensive power was no different from the paper lake.
Can a cannon be used like this?!
Hojo Dosan was deeply shocked.
"Damn it, the Ming Dynasty is so rich that it can afford such a large number of iron cannon foot soldiers!"
The next second, Hojo Dosan couldn't help cursing, and his desire for the Ming Dynasty grew stronger!
The Ming Dynasty was truly too rich. The damn Ming people occupied such a rich continent, what a waste!
Such a rich continent should be occupied by us Japanese!
Seeing that the 800 Japanese pirate vanguards were defeated in just a few breaths, Chen Dong, Ma Ye and other Japanese chiefs couldn't help but become cautious. They didn't expect that the Zhejiang Army's firearms were so sharp.
"Damn it! We knew the Zhejiang Army's firearms were powerful when we first investigated them, but we didn't expect them to be this powerful! How come the Zhejiang Army has so many muskets! Aren't there only 2,000 of them? According to the normal weapons and equipment of the Ming Army, the Zhejiang Army would have at most 500 to 600 muskets. But I'm afraid everyone has a musket now, right?!"
Chen Dong started cursing angrily. He was shocked by the Zhejiang Army's sharp firearms. He didn't expect that the Zhejiang Army's firearms were so powerful.
"Even if not every man has a musket, it won't make much difference. The Zhejiang Army's firearms are too powerful! They are difficult to deal with."
Maya frowned.
The more than 30,000 arrogant Japanese pirates were silent at this moment.
The vanguard of more than 800 Japanese pirates were all experienced fighters, the elite among the elite, and they were all wearing armor. However, they were almost wiped out in just a few breaths. They had never suffered such a defeat before.
