Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 691

[Chapter 691 Unforgettable]

“There are soldiers from Yanzhou near the flanks.” Jiu Guijing raised his binoculars.

Soldiers from both sides encountered each other in a rice field.

At this season, the rice in Ryukyu is as tall as half a person.

Two hundred meters away from them.

Soldiers in dark green uniforms were squatting among rice fields, shooting at them.

“Two hundred steps!” Jiu Guijing was taken aback.

The news he got from the shogunate was that Yanzhou’s muskets had a range of about 150 paces.

Obviously, this information is out of date.

However, when he thought of how they defeated the Fulang robot and captured half of Yizhou, his confidence returned.

They are four times the number of each other, and every Dongpu warrior is brave and fearless, this is his confidence to win.

“Bang bang bang…” Scattered gunshots from both sides continued to ring out.

Since the effective range of their flintlock guns is only 130 meters, they cannot fight back.

In the line, soldiers kept falling.

Especially the artillery distributed on the flanks suffered the highest casualties.

“General, they are attacking our artillery, and the artillery can’t place the artillery.” A Japanese general rode a pony and came to Jiuguijing.

Kukii frowned, he naturally noticed the situation of the artillery.

He had never seen this kind of tactics in the Yanzhou army, but it made the generals and soldiers of Dongpu very uncomfortable.

Due to the flat terrain of the battlefield, their artillery had to be placed on both sides of the team.

Otherwise, due to the occlusion of the soldiers, the artillery would not be able to shoot at the opponent at all.

At this time, if both sides shoot and shell each other in a line formation, he naturally doesn’t have to worry about flanking artillery.

But the Yanzhou army sent these scattered soldiers to harass them constantly.

Among the line tactics, the most taboo thing is to change the formation before the battle.

Naturally, they couldn’t turn the array around because of these scattered soldiers and deal with them.

But no matter what, the artillery will not be able to fight, and the soldiers in the East and the East in the queue will also feel nervous before shooting each other.

“Send 500 people from the left and right wings, and get rid of them.” Jiu Guijing ordered.

Under his order, the Dongpu soldiers on the left and right flanks broke away from the formation, and rushed over like Yanzhou soldiers in the rice fields.

The stragglers were not in a hurry when they saw this. They were scattered and immediately assembled. A three-row line of more than 60 people appeared in front, raising their guns and aiming at the Dongpu soldiers who rushed over.

“Bang bang bang…” When the Japanese soldiers entered within 150 meters, the marines pulled the trigger.

The first row of soldiers fired bullets and retreated, the second row of soldiers continued to shoot forward, and then the third row.

Within 150 meters, the rifle gun has a 60% hit rate on objects that are two meters high and one meter wide.

The dense formation increased the probability of hitting, and more than 120 Japanese soldiers on the left suddenly fell down.

Moreover, because the marine soldiers retreated after firing a shot, and the Japanese soldiers took a step forward, they took a step back. The distance between the two sides was maintained within 150 meters in a short time.

After another two rounds of shooting, only a hundred or so Dongpu soldiers rushed over.

“Scatter, all scatter, rush to them, and fight them hand-to-hand.” The Japanese general who led the team shouted, his face twisted.

In order to ensure the hit of the flintlock, they have been advancing in line just now.

And this resulted in heavy casualties.

Seeing the opponent’s soldiers replacing the front row with the back row again, he couldn’t bear it anymore.

It’s just that this order was issued, but a fatal mistake was made.

Yanzhou soldiers can adopt skirmish tactics, after all, it is the range of rifled guns.

In this way, skirmishers can use their own advantages to carry out kite-flying tactics against the enemy.

Out of the range of the enemy’s musket, constantly change the formation and shoot them.

The Dongpu soldiers held smooth-bore flintlock guns that could only rely on dense formations to kill the enemy in a rain of bullets.

Even if a single straggler stands ten meters away, it may not be able to hit the opponent.

Therefore, unless they are close to each other, Japanese soldiers holding muskets will not pose any threat to Marine soldiers.

Sure enough, seeing the Japanese soldiers scattered, the marines changed their formation again, from three small horizontal formations to a large horizontal formation.

“Free fire,” ordered the Marine Corps general.

“Bang bang bang…” There was another gunshot.

Within a hundred meters, the Japanese soldiers fell down one after another.

There are only more than 30 Japanese soldiers still charging.

Seventy meters, sixty meters, fifty meters…

When the Japanese soldiers entered within ten meters, the Marine Corps soldiers reloaded with new ammunition.

“Bang bang bang…” At

such a close distance, the Marine Corps soldiers did not make a fuss, and all the soldiers fell down.

The six Japanese soldiers who were not fatally injured struggled to get up from the ground.

“On board!” These Japanese soldiers yelled with red eyes, and rushed towards the marines.

“Puff!”

Their yelling stopped abruptly, and several marine soldiers rushed over immediately, stabbing the Japanese soldiers to death with bayonets.

“Your mother on board, bah!” A marine soldier spat at the Dongpu soldier.

Just as he was about to kick again, the general’s order sounded, “Continue to be their artillery!”

In response, the Marine Corps soldiers dispersed again, each looking for a suitable angle to shoot at the soldiers near the Dongpu Artillery.

At the same time, the Marine Corps soldiers on the right also wiped out the Japanese soldiers who rushed towards them.

In a short period of time, a thousand Japanese soldiers died in battle, and Kukii was dumbfounded.

He was hesitating whether to send more Japanese soldiers there when he suddenly heard a roar.

“Ah…”

the Dongpu soldiers in the front row screamed, and some Dongpu soldiers’ necks and heads were beaten to pieces.

Some Japanese soldiers had half of their arms torn off, and some Japanese soldiers had their legs broken, exposing bones.

“Damn it, they’re shooting grape bombs at us!” A Japanese general came to Jiuguijing, although he cursed loudly, his legs trembled slightly.

Hearing this, Kukii clenched his fists tightly.

Stopping here, his purpose is to let the Japanese soldiers place the artillery, and then let the soldiers advance in a line formation to fight a decisive battle with the opponent.

But their artillery, under the harassment of the opposing soldiers, could not fire shells at all.

While the artillery was roaring, Jiuguijing noticed that the Yanzhou soldiers on the opposite side kept approaching them.

Gritting his teeth, he decided to let the Dongpu soldiers bear the bombardment of the opponent’s artillery, and shouted: “Go forward! Destroy them.”

Under his order, more than 7,000 Dongpu soldiers walked forward.

Grape bullets from the artillery of the Marine Corps bloomed from time to time in the dense queue of Japanese soldiers.

A grape bullet took the lives of more than a dozen Japanese soldiers.

“Interesting, they are better trained than the powerful army.”

Pan Chang’s lips twitched at the artillery position on the left wing of the Marine Corps.

Compared with the powerful army, Japanese soldiers seem to be more able to withstand casualties.

However, the clan’s army collapsed quickly, and the soldiers were able to save their lives.

And Japan will die more people.

“Kill them so scared!” A sentence sounded in Pan Chang’s mind.

This is what Zhou Yi told him, but it was ordered by King Yan.

“Your Highness is wise, indeed, they will be terrified to kill them!” Pan Chang secretly said.

Dongying intervened in the civil strife in Dasong, exposing its wolfish ambitions.

Their army is probably the source of their ambitions.

That being the case, he should make it unforgettable in the first army confrontation with Japan.
