Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 692

[Chapter 692 Disdain]

“Boom boom boom…”

Twelve field cannons fired grape bullets at Japanese soldiers continuously.

Due to the replacement of yellow powder, the range and power of the field gun have been improved.

In the past, field artillery fired grape shells and could only kill the enemy at 400 meters.

But now, they were able to fire grapeshots at a distance of 600 meters from the enemy.

And because the artillery is located on the left and right wings, their field of vision is very wide, and there are no obstacles in the flight path of the artillery shells, so they can shoot at any position of the Japanese army.

Under the bombardment of shells, the Japanese soldiers in the front row kept falling.

Almost every grape shot will kill a small group of Japanese soldiers.

However, the Japanese soldiers are still advancing, and the gap in the front line is filled by the Japanese soldiers behind.

Since the two sides are 500 meters apart, the movement of the line can only be done in steps to prevent confusion.

During the march of 150 meters, the Japanese army was constantly attacked by artillery.

When the distance between the two sides was only 200 meters, more than 600 Japanese soldiers with casualties were left along the road.

At this moment, all the marine soldiers stopped and raised their rifled guns one after another.

The Japanese soldiers are still advancing, trying to shoot within 130 meters.

“Fire”

1,500 marine soldiers, with 500 people as a horizontal line, forming three large horizontal lines, which correspond to the length of the Japanese line.

It’s just that, unlike the Japanese army, they can still leave a reserve team.

Apparently, though, they don’t need to either.

“Bang bang bang…” the general ordered.

The rifled gun burst into flames, and the bullets pierced through the air and shot at the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side.

In an instant, more than 300 Japanese soldiers fell down like wheat being blown by a strong wind.

Then, the Marines quickly played the second round, the third round.

In just thirty seconds, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers fell under the guns of the Marine Corps.

At this time, the field artillery attack continued.

As soon as the shells fell, there were screams from time to time in the Japanese army.

Nine ghost wells are located in the middle of the array.

Sitting on a bantam, he can clearly observe the situation on the battlefield.

Seeing that the Japanese soldiers in the first two rows suffered heavy casualties, his heart ached.

The muskets of King Yan’s soldiers not only had a long range, but also seemed to be very accurate, which was impossible for their muskets.

Even within 130 meters, they can only kill 20-30% of the soldiers on the opposite side with one round of shooting.

And the opponent was able to shoot and kill 60% of the Japanese soldiers at a distance of 200 meters.

Seeing this scene, his heart sank.

The confidence to win began to waver.

He just thought that this battle was related to the honor of the Kuki family. On the isolated island of Ryukyu, they had no way out, so he could only choose to continue fighting.

Like him, many Japanese generals were still shouting chant to order the soldiers to move forward.

But fear has filled their bodies.

The soldiers were even more miserable, especially the Japanese soldiers in the front row. Their clothes were covered with blood, which was the blood of the soldiers who had just been shot.

Before setting off, they were full of fighting spirit, but the opponent’s artillery and three rounds of shooting made them realize that this battle was tantamount to a massacre.

They didn’t even meet the enemy, and more than 2,000 people were killed or injured.

“Bang bang bang…” Another round of gunfire rang out.

The Japanese soldiers who were walking fell down a row again, followed by the second round and the third round of shooting.

More than a thousand people were killed and injured again, but the Dongpu soldiers still did not stop, and the soldiers of the reserve team added to the front line and continued to advance.

Kukii just wanted to get within 130 meters and shoot at the opponent.

In this way, relying on their numbers, they can still win even if they suffer heavy losses.

But just like the scattered soldiers who dealt with each other just now, these Yanzhou soldiers retreated about five meters after shooting in the front row.

This means that they are advancing and the other party is retreating in an orderly manner.

The distance between the two sides was always kept beyond the range of their flintlocks.

Round after round of shooting.

The bodies of Japanese soldiers covered the road they walked.

At the same time, the stragglers were not idle, and kept shooting Japanese soldiers on the flanks.

When there were only more than 2,000 people left in the Japanese army, the Jiuguijing hiding in the middle of the army looked very eye-catching.

He immediately attracted the attention of artillerymen and skirmishers.

The artillerymen loaded grape shells and aimed their cannons at Kukii.

Skirmishers also took aim at him on bantam.

“Boom boom boom…”

“Bang bang bang…” The cannon and gunfire rang out at the same time.

Kukii, who was trying to maintain the formation, flew backwards before he could react.

A grapeshot hit him in the chest, shattering his sternum and nearly puncturing his lungs.

Looking at the blue sky above his head, he kept spitting out blood.

“General!” Two Japanese generals rushed towards Jiuguijing, their eyes red.

“Revenge me! Kill everyone in Dasong!” Jiu Guijing firmly grasped the hands of the two generals.

His eyes widened angrily, and his head tilted.

Seeing that Jiuguijing was not breathing, the two generals raised their heads and pulled out the Dongying knives from their waists. They shouted: “They killed the general, avenge the general!”

At this moment, they no longer cared about any lines, and let the remaining Japanese soldiers charge.

Some Japanese soldiers were extremely frightened and stood still and refused to move forward.

The Dongying general did not hesitate to slash at their necks with the Dongying knife, the light of the knife flashed, and a head fell to the ground.

“This is what happens to cowards.” The Dongying general raised the soldier’s head and threw it into the air, “Deserts will be killed without mercy.”

Seeing this, the Dongying soldiers who were about to flee took a step back in fright, and had to shout loudly, rushing to Yanzhou Soldier.

But their charge was doomed to be in vain.

Each Marine carries sixty rounds, enough ammunition for a high-intensity war.

Aiming at the Japanese soldiers rushing over, they pulled the trigger one after another.

“Bang bang bang…” Another group of Japanese soldiers fell down.

On the battlefield, the densely packed Japanese soldiers began to look sparse.

After this round of three-stage shooting, the Japanese army, with only a thousand people left, finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

They fled south desperately regardless of the killing of the Japanese generals.

Seeing this, Pan Chang ordered the Marine Corps soldiers to press up.

“You can wear thin belts and deer!” When the marines marched forward, a Japanese soldier who was injured and lying on the ground suddenly got up, with a grim expression on his face, and rushed towards a marine soldier, with the dagger in his hand about to stab his chest.

“Puff!” The sound of the knife piercing into the flesh sounded.

The Marine Corps soldier stabbed into the heart of the Japanese soldier.

“Go to the pier!” The whole battlefield was quiet, and Pan Zhang ordered.

Half an hour later, they arrived near the pier.

After investigation, Pan Chang ordered a direct attack on the fort.

Since the artillery of the fort was facing the sea, the artillery was heavy and unable to turn.

They turned around and attacked from behind, and the Japanese soldiers on the fort could not fight back at all.

However, the Japanese army they defeated was obviously not all the Japanese soldiers on Nakajima.

A Japanese army of 4,000 men appeared on their way to the fort, preventing them from taking the fort.

It’s just that the 8,000 Japanese soldiers are not their opponents, and the 4,000 soldiers are just fuel tactics.

In less than half an hour, they defeated the Japanese army and continued to march towards the fort.
