Chapter 1780 Then, there is no more
The wind blows, the snow falls, and the Japanese come.
The vanguard sent by the Japanese pirates was less than 300 meters away from the Fengqiao Camp. Although it was dark, from the torches held by the Japanese pirates, one could vaguely see the faces of the Japanese pirates. They were ferocious, crazy, arrogant and Bloodthirsty.
Zhu Pingan held his saber high and stared at the Japanese pirate forward without blinking, feeling a little regretful.
This group of Japanese pirates had combat experience and marched quite cautiously. They did not rush over in a swarm. The Japanese pirate army stopped about a mile in front of the Fengqiao Camp and sent out about six to seven hundred forwards. Come to the military camp and test the strength of our army.
It would be great if the Japanese pirate army rushed over in a swarm. After withstanding the Japanese pirate attack, they could light the fuse and detonate the gunpowder in the wine jar buried 100 meters ahead, which would definitely be enough for the Japanese pirates to drink a pot.
Unfortunately, the Japanese pirates were cautious and only sent six to seven hundred forwards. This Japanese pirate is not worth detonating the wine jar.
Gunpowder wine jars are a one-shot deal. After detonating once, the Japanese pirates must take more precautions and will not fall into the same ditch twice.
But it doesn't matter. If the Japanese pirates' vanguard is eaten, the Japanese pirates will become angry and will definitely send more troops.
While Zhu Pingan was staring at the Japanese pirate forward, Xu Hai and other Japanese chiefs were also observing the Fengqiao camp among the Japanese pirate army.
"A new low wall with a height of one person has been added to the Feng Bridge. There is also a low wall with a height of one person on the river bank. There is a three-story sentry fort on the east slope of the Feng Bridge. There is a low wall directly in front of the Feng Bridge, the sentry fort and the Feng Bridge. The bridge camp is connected. Haha, the Zhejiang army's fortifications are really a fool's errand. A low wall as high as one person can't be imagined. They didn't even need a ladder to stop us. Except for the three-story outpost, which is a bit difficult, I think our seven hundred forwards can take it."
Chen Dong walked up. The army observed in front of the formation and saw the Zhejiang Army's low defenses in the distance. They couldn't help but sneered and shook their heads.
"Brother Chen, the Zhejiang Army is not that simple and cannot underestimate the enemy. You see, our forward has already rushed to a distance of 200 meters, and the Zhejiang Army is still motionless. This is to put our forward forward away. If you don't have enough courage and discipline, you can't do this by attacking again. Supporting the Zhejiang Army is not easy."
Xu Hai shook his head slightly, pointed at Fengqiao Camp, and said slowly, reminding Chen Dong and others not to underestimate the enemy
"Haha, Brother Xu. , the Zhejiang army didn’t move. Is it possible that they were frightened by us?”
Maya said with a smile.
“Hahahaha.”
After Maye finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.
"Maya-kun, are the Zhejiang army scared? You will know immediately. Our forward has already rushed to a distance of 150 meters."
Hojo Douzan doesn't know where he is. Shi took out a fan from his arms and opened it with a swipe. The sun, moon and Big Dipper were painted on it. He pointed to the forward who had rushed 150 meters in front of the Zhejiang Army's formation and said.
"This distance has already entered the range of the Zhejiang Army's crossbows. Why hasn't the Zhejiang Army made any movement?! It's not like Brother Maye really meant what he said. The Zhejiang Army was frightened by us, right?! Otherwise, why didn't they fire an arrow?!"
Chen Dong watched the forwards rush to a distance of 150 meters in front of the Zhejiang Army's formation. The Zhejiang Army still made no movement at all, and did not shoot an arrow. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he was half confused and half confused. He said with a sneer.
"Hahahaha, I was joking just now, but I didn't know that the Zhejiang Army was so unbearable that it was really scared to death!"
Maye shook her head and laughed.
"Yes, haven't we investigated it? Isn't the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Army the new champion of the imperial court? He is only a weak scholar in his first year. He is scared to death when he sees such a large battle for the first time. It's normal. I just didn’t expect that this guy is not even as good as the armchair Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo has been fighting with the God of Death Bai Qi for several months. This guy was frightened as soon as he met us. He is really useless as a scholar. .”
Chen Dong thought of the situation he had investigated before and found out that the coach of the Zhejiang Army was a young scholar. He couldn't help but feel that there was a high possibility of being frightened and laughed.
“Are you really scared?!”
Xu Hai was also a little unsure at this time. The forwards had already rushed into the range of the Zhejiang Army’s crossbows. Why didn’t the Zhejiang Army still move? .
"Haha, I just said that Brother Xu is too cautious and thinks too highly of them." Maye crossed her arms and laughed.
"円西! The matter is settled! The men have rushed to a distance of 100 meters, and are already within the range of our Japanese bows. Look, Haneda Hyōtaro in the vanguard has already led a hundred archers. He drew his bow and fired arrows to suppress the Ming army, and escorted the rest of the troops."
Hojo Dosan said happily when he saw a hundred archers from the Japanese pirate vanguard suppressing the Zhejiang army's low wall.
"Good job!" Chen Dong and Maye also nodded happily.
Xu Hai frowned slightly, feeling vaguely that something was wrong. The Zhejiang Army should not be so incompetent.
Ahead, the Japanese pirate vanguard had already rushed to a distance of 100 meters in front of the Zhejiang army's formation. Haneda Hyōtaro and a hundred archers stopped at a distance of 100 meters, forming a horizontal line, with each man holding a gun as high as the other. The Japanese bowman took out an arrow from the quiver on his waist, led the bow and shot towards the low wall. Liu Dadao hurriedly raised his shield to protect Zhu Ping'an.
Behind the low wall, the Zhejiang troops in the back row also took out their shields and raised them at an angle to protect their comrades in front and themselves.
A hundred bows and arrows were shot sparsely, and the force was quite strong, and the accurate head could hear it. There were more than a hundred arrows, at least ninety of them were shot in the right direction.
However, it was blocked by a low wall as high as a person, as well as shields, and the Zhejiang army's cotton armor with a large protective area.
Most of the bows and arrows of the Japanese pirates hit the low wall. Some of the bows and arrows shot at the front door at a tricky angle were also blocked by the shields. The thrown feather arrows landed behind the low wall and hit the unsuspecting Zhejiang Army. They were also blocked by the Zhejiang Army's cotton armor.
This round of feather arrows from the Japanese pirates did not cause any damage to the Zhejiang army.
Haneda Hyōtaro is not depressed at all. On the contrary, he still has a smile on his face, because under the cover of his feather arrows, the Japanese pirate forward has rushed more than ten meters. Another round of feather arrows can cover it. The forward rushed within fifty meters.
The distance of fifty meters, which is just a few breaths of time, is all that matters.
“Shoot again!”
Haneda Hyoutarou ordered loudly.
The Japanese pirates under his command followed his order and drew their bows and shot arrows again. Just like the previous round, this round also caused no harm to the Zhejiang army. Only one unlucky Zhejiang army was hit in the hand by a bow and arrow. .
Haneda Hyōtaro was very excited because the forward had already rushed within fifty meters.
"Abandon the bow and kill me!"
Haeda Hyoutarou shouted, first threw down the long bow in his hand, drew out the Japanese sword and rushed forward, his subordinates Okuo followed him closely. , dropped the long bow, carried the Japanese sword and charged forward with him.
After Haneda Hyōtaro had rushed a few steps, he heard Commander Akito shouting "Fire!" from the front.
Then, he saw the low wall in front light up. There was a dazzling fire, followed by a deafening "bang bang bang" gunshot.
Then, there is no more.
Haneda Hyōtaro looked at the Japanese pirates who rushed to the front of the Zhejiang Army's formation about 30 meters away and fell into a large area like cutting wheat. In just the blink of an eye, at least a third of the Japanese pirates fell to the ground. (End of this chapter)
