- ground grenade
This kind of thing that would only appear during the French Revolution and Napoleon has now been invented by Zhao Hongyu. Equipped with 24-pound artillery, it brought not only shock to the crusade, but also incomparable bloodshed.
In this era, the Japanese still mainly fought with cold weapons. They had seen such weapons in land warfare.
Not to mention the 16th century, even in the new century, artillery was still the mainstream weapon in the military. It will only slowly fade in the 21st century.
But fortunately, this kind of ground grenade is a very rough variety. Due to some reasons during the French Revolution, the shells are still in the shape of round iron balls.
On the surface, there is no difference between ordinary solid bullets.
"But after this kind of cannonball is fired, it will explode like a pomegranate when it hits the ground, and its lethality cannot be underestimated.
Isn¡¯t this right? Now Zhao Hongyu has begun to see its power.
Thirty-six artillery pieces fired a salvo, and the shells fell on the advancing column of the conquering army.
As each cannonball fell and exploded, the soldiers in the crusade would be blown up, or their broken limbs would be thrown into the sky by the air waves, and the air waves would also be filled with blood, which looked shocking. People feel cold all over.
The soldiers of the Crusade Army have seen such weapons before. This is completely beyond their cognitive scope.
They never knew that there were such powerful weapons in this world that could cause so much damage to the two armies before they came into contact.
"Charge! Charge!"
There were some smart generals who shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers to speed up and charge.
These people are stronger than the soldiers. They know that the Nanman ships have artillery. Maybe these foreigners have dismantled the artillery on the ship.
If this is the case, then they are not unable to defeat these foreigners.
You must know that artillery loading is very time-consuming. Now the opponent has completed a salvo.
If we wait until the next salvo, it will take some time.
In other words, during this period of time, it is impossible for the other party to fire any more guns.
As long as they can use this time to charge forward and kill the enemy, the battle will be over.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this idea.
It¡¯s just a pity that the enemy they encountered was Zhao Hongyu.
The gene artillerymen are very fast, and when the artillery is fired, it takes turns from the first one to the next one.
By the time the thirty-sixth artillery piece was fired, the first artillery piece that fired first had already been loaded.
The expeditionary army on the opposite side didn¡¯t know about this.
Therefore, the unlucky expeditionary army could only endure the artillery attack.
Although the generals can grit their teeth and resist, the soldiers can't stand it.
At first they could bear it for a while, but as the corpses of their companions were constantly being thrown away, as well as the wailing sounds of their companions with broken arms and legs, many people were affected.
Boom!
Another cannonball fell into the crowd, killing the leading military officer on the spot.
Dozens of ashigaru were injured to varying degrees.
¡°At this moment, the Ashigaru people couldn¡¯t bear it anymore.
"Everyone, retreat, retreat!"
I don¡¯t know who shouted so loudly, and I don¡¯t know which guy turned around first and ran back.
Anyway, a large group of people cheering turned around and started running towards the main formation.
There were not many people, but they had a huge impact.
With these people taking the lead, the surrounding soldiers could still suppress them.
The power of role models is endless.
Therefore, the entire army retreated like a tide.
After the crusade retreated, all that remained were the corpses of their dead companions, the human remains shattered by cannonballs all over the ground, and the wounded who were seriously injured, bleeding and wailing.
The first attack ended with the crusade army retreating, and the crusade army also lost a lot of soldiers.
"Looking at the foreigners on the small slope, they didn't even lose a little bit of skin.
Takahashi sat on his horse and kept shouting that everyone was "waste", "idiot" and "freeloader" and incompetent.
"You??These losers were actually repelled even in their charge. What else can you do? You don't even have to look at how many enemies there are. You guys who live on dry food are worse than pigs. "
Takahashi cursed quite happily, but his yelling made the soldiers' resentment towards him even stronger.
This bastard, couldn¡¯t you see it just now?
The enemy on the opposite side used artillery, which has caused us a lot of losses, and we can't charge forward at all.
The soldiers thought to themselves.
In fact, Takahashi certainly saw the scene of artillery bombardment, and he himself was shocked and surprised by the enemy's methods.
But he didn¡¯t care about that anymore. What he cared about was letting the soldiers rush forward and deal with Zhao Hongyu and the others.
As for how many people died in the process, he didn't care about these things.
On the contrary, Feng Shi and his men behind him were stunned by Zhao Hongyu's bombardment.
My Amaterasu, the other party¡¯s methods are really not that powerful.
Feng Shi thought to himself after licking his dry lips with his tongue oozing out.
No wonder Ishida Aido sent 5,000 people to deal with these foreigners, but was defeated by them in the end.
It seems that it is not without reason.
Feng Shi thought that Ishida Kaido once sent troops to attack these foreigners, but he failed.
At first, he also thought it was a little strange. How could Ishida Aido's army of 5,000 men fail against a foreigner with less than 1,000 men?
How incompetent would it be to achieve that result?
However, now Feng Shi completely understands.
¡°It¡¯s simply not possible that Ishida Aido is incompetent, but that those foreigners are too powerful.
Not to mention anything else, this bombardment alone cannot be launched by ordinary forces.
At this time, Ishida Aido also retreated with the army, and Hatamoto, who was sent by Takahashi, also followed back.
They had no chance to attack Ishida Aido.
Takahashi was secretly resentful.
????????????? Ishida Aido was still frightened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
¡°Oh my god, I didn¡¯t expect these foreigners to come up with new weapons. It seems that Takahashi and the others are going to be doomed this time.
Ishida Kaido thought of the scene during the night battle between him and Zhao Hongyu a few days ago, and his heart couldn't help but throb.
This time, the enemies even used artillery.
You must know that these enemies' musket formations are also very powerful.
And there are those cavalry who can use strange weapons Maybe this time, Takahashi will have to follow in his footsteps.
After Ishida Hemichi made some calculations, he felt that the crusade army might also be doomed.
With such an idea and understanding, Ishida Aido began to plan for himself.
In fact, the current strength of the expeditionary army still has a great advantage compared to Zhao Hongyu, and Ishida Aido will not have such worries.
It¡¯s just that after Ishida Kaido experienced that night battle, his courage was broken by Zhao Hongyu and the others.
Today there was another artillery bombardment, so he immediately thought of how to escape.
After all, he has had the experience of escaping, so it is not surprising that he would immediately think of this matter.
"Charge me! Keep charging me, no one can retreat!"
Takahashi didn't pay much attention to it. He sat on his horse and kept shouting, asking his men to gather the soldiers to reorganize their ranks, and then turned back to continue the attack.
"Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy! Charge forward and kill the enemy, and you will be given ten copper coins for each head!"
Ten coppers!
This damn thing can be regarded as Takahashi bleeding heavily. He himself thought that his reward was too high.
¡°Don¡¯t you know that when he said these words, even his own subordinates felt speechless for a while.
What can you do with ten copper plates?
Just buy a rice dumpling.
This is also called a reward?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Feng Shi, his single wave soldiers and generals all stared at Takahashi with a look of pain on his face.
This time, they finally experienced Takahashi¡¯s weirdness.
They had only heard of it before, but they thought it might be just what others said.
But this time, they finally learned the lesson.
"Come on, why are you just standing there!"
When Takahashi saw his subordinates and Feng Shi looking at him with strange expressions, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Snapped! Snapped!
Takahashi waved the riding crop in his hand and whipped the people around him hard. He didn't even look at who he was whipping.
From Takahashi¡¯s point of view, since he is the commander, what can he say to anyone he slaps?
¡°Anyway, I have so many excuses, and all the excuses I use are in vain.
Feng Shi¡¯s face was severely whipped with a whip mark.
The pain made him grimace.
Feng Shi had no idea that Takahashi would dare to whip him.
"grown ups!"
Feng Shi¡¯s men quickly took his horses and pulled him away.
Takahashi just glanced at it lightly, and then turned his gaze elsewhere.
It seems that whipping Feng Shi by yourself is nothing at all.
¡°Could it be that in his eyes, I am the same as those ordinary soldiers?
Feng Shi held his face in his hands and looked at Takahashi bitterly through his fingers, feeling secretly resentful in his heart.
**, I originally felt a little guilty about what I had to do, but you actually did this to me and I thought about it.
The Fengshi hated Takahashi¡¯s attitude so much.
"Ishida! Take your troops immediately and be the first to charge! If you dare to retreat, I will chop off your head!"
Takahashi didn¡¯t take it to heart at all that he had whipped Feng Shi.
In his opinion, Feng Shi is a timid and timid good old man. Even if he whips him, what will happen? Is it possible that he still dares to retaliate against himself?
¡°It¡¯s a joke, I wouldn¡¯t dare even if I borrowed his courage.
Takahashi felt that he had eaten Dingfengshi.
¡°Besides, Feng Shi had gone against me earlier, and I had long wanted to trick him.
The whip just now was intentional.
Takahashi didn¡¯t think what would happen to Feng Shi.
Immediately, he began to make use of the topic and turned his target to Ishida Aido.
He will take advantage of this opportunity to let Ishida Aido die! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
