As Cao Ling's opponent, Lu Sihai did not have the consciousness to be recorded in history. In his eyes, the stupid Ming army had no spearmen, no sword and shield hands, and could not defeat his five thousand well-equipped troops with only the muskets in their hands. Japanese pirates!
So at this supposedly tense moment, Lu Sihai said to Hayakawa Yukichi with great interest: "Do you know why the Sea Lord accepted the Zhou family's invitation to send troops into the Ming Dynasty?"
Hayakawa Yukichi said tactfully: "Isn't the Lord of the Sea just after the three hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Lu Sihai shook his head slightly and said: "Of course not. In order to occupy a position in the Japanese country, the Sea Lord supported the Tokugawa family. However, for the Tokugawa family, the Sea Lord was too powerful as a minister. They betrayed the Toyotomi family. Naturally, We must also guard against someone doing the same thing. The Lord of the Sea has no choice but to take Da Ming¡¯s idea, and the Zhou family¡¯s invitation is a very good opportunity!¡±
Hayakawa Yukichi showed a surprised look and asked: "Does the Lord of the Sea want to capture the Ming Dynasty?"
Lu Sihai glanced at Yukichi Hayakawa, shook his head and said: "That's impossible. The Ming Dynasty is too big. The main thing Haijia wants is not to capture the Ming Dynasty, but to get the recognition of the Ming Dynasty and occupy a place in the Ming Dynasty!"
Hayakawa Yukichi said in confusion: "But in order to be recognized by the Ming Dynasty, shouldn't we be respectful? Why did the Lord of the Sea choose to send troops?"
Lu Sihai sneered and said: "In the Ming Dynasty, literati wanted to be officials, but they had to take the imperial examinations in ten years. Warriors like us who wanted to be officials had to kill people, set fires and wait for recruitment!"
Hayakawa Yukichi didn't understand Lu Sihai's words, but when he wanted to ask, the Japanese pirates' main formation was already less than 300 steps away from the Guards array, and Lu Sihai's attention had been attracted by the battle that was about to begin. Naturally, Hayakawa Yukichi could only Shut up if you are interested!
Behind the array of the Guards, thirty steel crouching tiger cannons have been erected. Supported by the brackets, these newly cast tiger crouching cannons look like tigers squatting, but their power is much greater than that of tigers. Got it!
At this time, the Tiger Crouching Cannon has already installed the ammunition package, and placed a wooden board on the ammunition package to block the ammunition package, and the loader has also twisted and cut the ammunition package, only When the flag officer in charge gives the order, the medicine can be ignited and loaded!
That¡¯s right!
The loading method of the steel tiger crouching cannon is similar to that of explosive ammunition. You must first twist and ignite the powder on the ammunition bag, then load it into the muzzle, then ignite the firing powder and launch the ammunition bag!
Although these steps are troublesome to say, they must be done quickly, otherwise the ammunition package may explode in the barrel, and everyone around will not survive!
"Two hundred and eighty steps!"
"Two hundred and sixty steps!"
"Two hundred and fifty steps!"
"Ready! Release!"
Boom¡ª¡ªBoom¡ª¡ªBoom¡ª¡ª
With the hoarse roar of the general flag of the ranging command, thirty steel tiger squatting cannons roared almost simultaneously. Along with the roar of the artillery, thirty large pancake-shaped ammunition packages flew in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye. Tumbling and flying towards the Japanese pirates' main formation!
After a salvo was fired, the soldier in charge of the artillery did not look at the result at all, but immediately prepared for the next round of shooting, and the thirty ammunition packages had already reached the sky above the Japanese pirates' main formation!
Seeing those big cake-like things rolling and flying over, the Japanese pirates all felt strange. Could it be that the Ming army on the opposite side planned to use such strange things to defeat the invincible Japanese warriors?
Watching those "big cakes" that showed no threat at all falling down, some Japanese pirates even planned to catch those "big cakes" to see what they were!
It¡¯s just that these Japanese pirates¡¯ naive ideas were destined to fail, because those ¡°big cakes¡± exploded ten feet away from their heads!
The deafening sound, dazzling firelight, and flying iron filings made the curious Japanese pirates immediately understand what the baptism of artillery fire meant!
Just this round of volleys and thirty ammunition packs caused the Japanese pirates to lose all 500 archers. Many other spearmen and sword and shield men were also affected. However, they were not the main targets, so the casualties were not very large. !
However, the second round of bombardment was an indiscriminate bombardment. Those seemingly harmless "big cakes" were flying around in the Japanese pirates' formation. As soon as they exploded, dozens of Japanese pirates would fall to the ground in a bloody state, and more Because of the huge roar, the Japanese pirates' eardrums ruptured and blood flowed out of their ears uncontrollably!
Immediately afterwards, the third, fourth, and fifth rounds of shelling came one after another. The Japanese pirates, who claimed to be brave, could no longer withstand such a terrifying blow and collapsed like a swarm of swarms.Run in the direction you came from!
During the first round of artillery fire, Lu Sihai stood up in shock. He watched helplessly as his five thousand Japanese pirates were defeated when they were still more than 200 steps away from the enemy. At that time, I never figured out when the Ming army¡¯s cannons arrived!
In Lu Sihai¡¯s perception, cannons are always associated with being heavy and bulky, but he did not see any carts pulling cannons in the Ming army. This was the fundamental reason why he took it lightly!
"Let's go!" Lu Sihai finally uttered one word angrily, and then walked directly towards his horse!
No matter what, this battle was lost, and the defeat was inexplicable. There is no use in leaving now. It is better to leave Ming Dynasty as soon as possible and report the situation in Ming Dynasty to Li Dan!
But as soon as Lu Sihai mounted his horse, he saw three hundred cavalrymen galloping in his direction like sharp arrows. Lu Sihai did not dare to delay any longer and galloped towards the sea. As long as he reached the sea, he, Lu Sihai It's a man-eating shark!
But Lu Sihai forgot that he was not at sea now, but on land. No matter how ferocious sharks are in the sea, they have only one use on land, and that is to make shark fin soup!
Especially when Lu Sihai discovered that the one hundred Japanese cavalry he led were an absolute joke in front of the pursuers behind him, he even felt like vomiting blood!
The people and war horses of the Japanese country in this period cannot even be described as tall, they can only be said to be very short. As Li Dan's fastest swordsman, Hayakawa Yukichi is only as tall as Lu Sihai's chest, which is already a big man among the Japanese warriors. !
As for Hayakawa Yukichi¡¯s war horse, it is the largest Kiso horse in Japan, but the tallest horse of this kind is much shorter than ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. You can only imagine how fast such a war horse can be!
Soon Gesleng led three hundred cavalry to catch up. Lu Sihai had no choice but to shout: "Go thirty men to stop them!"
Although Lu Sihai's order was tantamount to sending someone to death, I had to admire the Japanese warriors for being so brave and not afraid of death. Immediately, thirty warriors turned their horses and raised their swords towards the pursuing soldiers. Go!
Seeing that someone was intercepting the opponent, Gesleng showed a cruel smile on his face. He took out the horn bow and five feather arrows from the quiver on the saddle, skillfully fired five arrows in a row, and shot down three Japanese warriors! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
