Steel Dynasty - Chapter 919

[Chapter 916 Blood and Fire]

The melodious voice of the assembly floated in the air, and the soldiers of the Chongqing Kingdom walked out of the trench after receiving the order.

Following the orders of the officers, they formed the classic array used during the Great Yu Kingdom’s southern and northern wars, but the difference was that this time they all used Falcon rifles.

The Japanese daimyo and soldiers in Natsujin Castle had not yet recovered from the bombardment of the battleships, and the entire Natsujin Castle was in chaos.

The first one to react was Tokugawa Huiji. When he saw the soldiers from the Chongqing Kingdom coming towards them, he hurriedly shouted: “Where are the artillerymen? Fight back, hit me hard!”

No one answered him. The artillerymen mounted on the city wall Almost all the artillery was lost in the collapse, and the remaining artillerymen could not immediately find the artillery from the ruins.

Seeing this, Tokugawa Keji’s eyes showed despair. He looked at the other daimyo, and everyone had the same look as him.

It’s not that they are not brave enough, but it seems that the gap between the two sides is too big this time.

At this time, he looked at the sea. One by one, the Anzhai ships that attacked had turned into burning piles of firewood, while the twenty-six warships that attacked from the Chongqing Kingdom were unscathed. This made him even more disheartened.

In the distance, the army of Dayu was getting closer and closer with neat steps. Gritting his teeth, Tokugawa Huiji immediately gathered the remaining soldiers with other daimyo. He could be defeated, but he could not escape, otherwise the Tokugawa family would lose its reputation among other daimyo. sweep the floor.

“It’s interesting!”

Liu Chen led the Marine Corps members to advance in an orderly manner. He smiled when he saw some Japanese soldiers gathering in front of the city.

In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese country is still better than that of Goryeo. If the Goryeo soldiers encountered such a scene, they would definitely flee, but the Japanese country was still able to continue fighting.

But this is in line with his wishes. This time he must hurt the Japanese country.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. At this time, the artillery pushing the field artillery forward began to fire at the Japanese soldiers. Flowers of flames exploded in the Japanese array, beating the Japanese soldiers’ array to pieces.

When the artillery attacked the Japanese soldiers, suddenly cavalry wearing armor and holding samurai swords filed out from the side wall. These cavalry galloped directly towards the artillery position.

The two thousand soldiers protecting the artillery immediately lined up in three rows when they saw this scene, and started shooting when the cavalry entered 300 meters.

“Bang bang bang…” A burst of intensive gunfire rang out, and the galloping cavalry fell down one after another. The Falcon rifle already had good accuracy at a distance of three hundred meters, but the Japanese country was showing the momentum of a dense charge. This was undoubtedly Makes soldiers easier to hit.

Compared with the cavalry of the Great Chongqing, the horses of the Japanese were short-legged. Although they were not as good as the Chongqing in terms of image, they also showed a fearless spirit at this time.

The horses in front fell, and the remaining Japanese cavalry did not slow down and rushed forward as usual.

“Bang bang bang…” The soldiers replaced the paper shell bullets and continued to fire one round. When the Japanese cavalry rushed within fifty meters, the Chongqing soldiers had already fired four rounds, and three or four thousand cavalry fell in a pool of blood. middle.

Facing the remaining four to five thousand cavalry, the soldiers did not continue shooting. They took out grenades from their waists, pulled off the cords and threw them one by one into the middle of the cavalry.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

The violent explosion instantly covered the cavalry, and the power of the grenade explosion directly destroyed pieces of cavalry.

The short distance of fifty meters became an insurmountable obstacle. Amidst the continuous explosions, hundreds of surviving Japanese cavalry rushed to the artillery position.

What greeted them was a dense bayonet array.

“Stab!” The sound of a bayonet entering the armor came. The Chongqing soldiers in the first row fell back because they could not withstand the impact of the cavalry. The Japanese cavalry who was killed by the bayonet flew out in the air under the action of inertia. He fell on the battlefield, dying.

In a very short period of time, the eight thousand cavalry of Japan were all reduced.

Liu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He continued to lead the soldiers to keep the array moving forward. As if in retaliation, the artillery fire became more and more fierce.

The Japanese soldiers tried their best to fill the array, but were destroyed by artillery shells time and time again.

Finally, the distance between the two sides reached 150 meters. Liu Chen ordered the soldiers to raise their guns. At this distance, the intensive shooting of Falcon rifles gained the greatest advantage. Basically, the soldiers were able to concentrate the other side’s soldiers.

Seeing the Chongqing soldiers stop, the Japanese soldiers began to move forward. From this distance, they could not shoot each other.

“First row! Shoot!” Liu Chen shouted.

Following his order, the first row of soldiers collectively became half-kneeling, and instantly they began to shoot the Japanese soldiers walking toward them.

“Bang, bang, bang!” Gunshots rang out, and all the Japanese soldiers in front of the array fell down.

“Second row shooting!” Liu Chen shouted.

There was another burst of neat shooting, and a large number of Japanese soldiers fell down.

At this time, the soldiers in the second row squatted down to reload, and the soldiers in the third row fired again. Before the shooting in the third row was completed, the soldiers in the first row finished loading. Now the efficiency of three-stage shooting is much higher than before. .

With the advantage of the Falcon rifle, the array of more than 18,000 people continued to output firepower. The Japanese soldiers fell down one after another like cutting leeks. At this time, the Japanese soldiers found that they could not enter at all. They could shoot at Dayu. The firing range of Chinese soldiers.

Because they died before that!

Huge casualties continued to appear, and the walls of Nazhijin were covered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers. After paying tens of thousands of lives, the Japanese soldiers finally lost control and began to collapse. Not everyone can bear this kind of desperate battle.

Tokugawa Hui and all the daimyo’s faces were pale, and the dense corpses of soldiers sounded like the death knell of doom for them. They tried their best to recruit soldiers, but no one was willing to fight.

In the battle just now, most of the Japanese soldiers holding muskets were lost, and the remaining vassal soldiers were scattered, and there were soldiers holding swords. They knew that they were no match for them.

“Keep going!”

A smile appeared on Liu Chen’s lips. This is what they want, but it is not enough now. They want to achieve greater results.

The melodious chant sounded again, and the soldiers marched neatly towards Nazuki City, destroying any enemies who fought with them along the way.

Soon, they entered Nazhijin City. At this time, Liu Chen asked the soldiers to clear out the Japanese soldiers in the city in company units. Regardless of whether they were soldiers or Japanese people, anyone who resisted would be killed.

When Liu Chen achieved brilliant results, Yue Yun had already destroyed the remaining Japanese naval warships. On the burning sea, Yue Yun led his warships to pass through the burned warships.

Floating in the sea were the corpses of Japanese soldiers, and the sound of burning flames and screams could be heard in my ears.

“Enter the inland river!” Yue Yun gave the order.

After Nazhijin fell, he no longer worried about the safety of the battleships in the inland river. From now on, this place would be another supply point for the Great Yu Navy.
