Chapter 1832 The battle is tense
Below the city, the battle between the Japanese pirates and the Zhejiang army is fierce and tense.
Although the Japanese pirates in the front row were caught off guard and were stabbed over by the Zhejiang army's bayonets, the Japanese pirates in the back were fierce and confident. They thought that as long as they got close, victory would belong to them Japanese pirates. The Japanese knives they used Long and sharp, the waist knives of the Ming army are not as long as theirs. As the saying goes, one inch longer and one inch dangerous, long weapons have an advantage.
So, the Japanese pirates stepped on the corpses of the Japanese pirates in the front row and continued to pounce on them, intending to chop the Zhejiang army into pieces.
However, the Zhejiang Army's bayonets dealt a serious blow to their self-confidence. The Zhejiang Army's military formation was neat, and the Zhejiang Army's officers and men mechanically stabbed their bayonets together. They saw a forest of bayonets, but the Zhejiang Army's muskets increased The bayonet was like a spear, longer than their Japanese swords. Before they could hit the Zhejiang army, the Zhejiang army's bayonet had already stabbed them.
The Zhejiang Army was like a hedgehog, which made them unable to speak. They were very anxious and screamed ferociously. They used Japanese swords to chop at the Zhejiang Army's bayonets. However, the Zhejiang Army's bayonets looked only as thick as their thumbs, but they were all refined. Fine steel, strong and tight, the Japanese sword did not break the bayonet, but was knocked out of the gap. For a while, the Japanese pirates were stabbed by the Zhejiang army's bayonet one after another, but they could not break into the Zhejiang army's bayonet array.
"Niang Xipi, look at me!" A Japanese pirate with bald hair and a string of beads hanging around his neck cursed fiercely, then grabbed a thin Japanese pirate next to him and lifted him up.
“Damn it, monster monk, why are you lifting me up?! This is no joke, put me down quickly!”
The skinny Japanese pirate was as frightened as a big turtle Dancing and shouting.
"Okay, I'll let you down now!" The bald Japanese pirate chuckled, gritted his teeth and shouted loudly. The veins in his hands and arms collapsed, and he threw it hard, throwing the thin Japanese pirate in his hand to the opposite side. Zhejiang Army Bayonet Formation.
The bald Japanese pirate was as strong as an ox, while the thin Japanese pirate was like a boulder in his hand, roaring away towards the Zhejiang army's bayonet array.
“Damn it, I won’t let you go even if I die.”
The thin Japanese pirate didn’t even finish his last harsh words, and hit the Zhejiang Army’s bayonet array like a piece of rotten meat.
The thin Japanese pirate said he was only about 100 kilograms thin. In addition, the bald Japanese pirate threw it with all his strength. The kinetic energy and heavy energy suddenly hit the Zhejiang Army's bayonet array, causing at least more than 300 injuries. pound of impact.
The three Zhejiang troops who faced the impact were suddenly knocked upside down.
A gap was created in the tightly sealed Zhejiang army formation. The bald Japanese pirate screamed strangely, like a tiger down the mountain, and rushed into the gap with a long-handled weapon in the shape of a crescent shovel. He rushed left and right, and several nearby Before the Zhejiang troops could turn their bayonets, they were shoveled to the ground by the bald Japanese pirates.
Fortunately, all members of the Zhejiang Army were fully protected by cotton armor. Although they were shoveled to the ground, bleeding from the mouth and nose, and seriously injured, their lives were not worried.
Only one soldier was unlucky. He was shoveled in the face by a bald Japanese pirate with a crescent shovel and died on the spot.
The bald-headed Japanese pirate was extremely brave, like a ferocious human beast. He charged left and right in the Zhejiang army's position, causing heavy casualties to the Zhejiang army. The surrounding Zhejiang army was invincible for a while. A gap was torn open.
The Japanese pirates behind saw the bald Japanese pirates tearing apart the Zhejiang army's formation. Without hesitation, they immediately rushed in with the bald Japanese pirates.
The strong Japanese pirates around him were inspired and wanted to follow suit. They looked around at the Japanese pirates around them, looking for a thin one.
“Damn it, you damn pen, there are corpses on the ground, you can’t just throw them away, you’re just staring at me!”
A few thin Japanese pirates were so frightened that everyone was Danger, a clever Japanese pirate shouted, pointing to the corpse of the Japanese pirate they were stepping on.
Several strong Japanese pirates suddenly reacted, lowered their heads to pick up the dead bodies on the ground, and threw them hard towards the Zhejiang army's formation.
The Zhejiang Army was caught off guard, and several holes were opened by the Japanese pirates. In an instant, dozens of brave Japanese pirates rushed into the Zhejiang Army's formation.
"Dead, dead!"
The brave Japanese pirates waved their Japanese knives like flying among the Zhejiang troops. The surrounding Zhejiang troops could only use bayonets to block and stab, which was not easy to chop. As for their moves, He can only simply stab and block, so he is no match for the Japanese pirates in one-on-one combat. Three or five Zhejiang troops had to pay a high price to defeat one Japanese pirate.
In particular, several brave Japanese pirates with high martial arts skills actually knew how to cooperate and cover each other. The Zhejiang Army was unable to do anything to them for a while.
The Japanese pirates also knew how powerful the Zhejiang Army's cotton armor was, and specially targeted areas such as the Zhejiang Army's face and neck that were not covered by the cotton armor to greet them.
For a time, the Zhejiang army suffered dozens of casualties, and several holes were torn in the military formation. The situation was not good.
"Brothers in the back row who have not joined the battle, shoot at the Japanese pirates who rush into the formation!" Zhu Ping'an ordered in the formation.
Suddenly, there were several gunshots, and the brave Japanese pirates in all directions were killed in the Zhejiang army formation, and they fell to the ground with a scream.
The bald Japanese pirate who was the first to break into the formation was given special attention. He was hit by more than a dozen bullets and turned into a bloody sieve.
At such a close distance and being targeted by so many muskets, he had no room to display his martial arts no matter how high he was.
"The front row meets the enemy, the back row releases guns, goes straight to the city gate, and seizes the city gate from the Japanese pirates at any cost!"
After the Zhejiang army stabilized the situation, Zhu Pingan adjusted the battle formation in time and directed the Zhejiang army to rush to the city gate.
The Japanese pirates have just sent out the signal, and in at most one stick of incense time, the Japanese pirate army will come to support.
If the city gate was not seized from the Japanese pirates before the Japanese pirate army arrived for support, the consequences would be disastrous.
Not to mention Suzhou City is in danger, the Zhejiang Army is also in danger.
Due to the rush to warn, the Zhejiang Army was not prepared for field battles. The gunpowder and projectiles they carried with them were not enough, and they did not have time to bring sidecars that could be used as temporary positions. The Tiger Crouching Cannon was also not available. Only eight of them were brought, and the rest of the Tiger Crouching Cannons were hurriedly wrapped in linoleum and buried in the Zhejiang Army's latrine.
The Tiger Crouching Cannon was too heavy, and the Zhejiang army was fully armored and charged on horseback. Ordinary horses could not bear the weight, let alone run long distances.
The Zhejiang Army only had a dozen good horses that could bear the load, and they also had to carry heavy artillery shells, so they could only carry eight squatting tiger cannons.
“Don’t let them get close to the city gate!”
Xu Hai soon discovered the Zhejiang army’s intention, shouted, and directed the remaining Japanese pirates to block the Zhejiang army’s path.
However, at this time, there are only more than 300 Japanese pirates left. The Zhejiang army has only reduced its number by dozens, and there are still nearly 2,000 people. The bayonet array is like a hedgehog, making it difficult for the Japanese pirates to break through. The sound of gunshots that sounded from time to time in the Zhejiang Army's formation was like a deadly poisonous snake, causing heavy losses to the Japanese pirates and unable to stop the Zhejiang Army at all. Xu Hai gritted his teeth in anger.
If the troops under his command were sufficient, the Zhejiang Army would be finished when they just broke through the Zhejiang Army's formation! Unfortunately, due to insufficient troops, there were too few Japanese pirates who broke into the Zhejiang Army's formation. They were annihilated by the Zhejiang Army's superior strength, and a good opportunity was missed!
"The men guarding the city gate in the city quickly came out to support and attacked from the front and back. They must not let the Zhejiang army occupy the city gate."
At the critical moment, Xu Hai gritted his teeth and ordered the city to guard The Japanese pirates at the city gate came out to support and attacked the Zhejiang army from front to back.
Damn it!
When the reinforcements arrive and the troops are sufficient, the Zhejiang army will definitely die without a burial place! (End of chapter)
