Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Only in close combat can the Japanese coalition have a chance of winning.

The two armies fought, three hundred strides apart.

The Hongwu rifle has a range of two hundred steps, and the bow and arrow only has a range of one hundred steps.

After Ashikaga Naoyoshi's description, everyone knew that the weapons and equipment of the Ming army were a hundred times more powerful than theirs, and the power of their firearms was far beyond their original imagination.

In short, it is impossible to withstand the Ming army's muskets with their existing shields alone. In other words, those at the front are here to die, so a death squad must be formed.

"The dead soldiers charge at the front, and the archers follow closely behind. Don't hide when you hear the gunfire, keep charging! Charge with all your strength!"

"Win these hundred steps for the archer!"

Masashige Kusunoki said in a deep voice: "This is our only chance of winning!"

Izumo country.

Xu Da has also made sufficient preparations. In the past few months, in addition to urging the people of Izumo Country to speed up the mining of silver mines, his soldiers have also not been idle, building various structures outside the city. Various fortifications.

For a time, the atmosphere over Izumo Country was extremely tense.

The Japanese allied forces are getting closer and closer.

Ming Dynasty finally took the lead in launching the attack.

A dozen or so artillery pieces began to fire a salvo.

Boom boom boom!

With the sound of intensive artillery, the first large-scale confrontation between the Ming Dynasty and the coalition forces of Japanese princes officially began.

There was a dense sound of artillery!

The artillery shells produced by the Yangzhou Military Factory were carried by the strong wind, whistling over the Izumo Kingdom, heading towards the Japanese princes' coalition forces to bomb!

The moment the first artillery shell fell, it blew up several meters of soil, and the Japanese soldiers around the shell were thrown away.

Then one shell after another fell.

For a moment, there seemed to be a bloody rain outside Izumo.

The smell of gunpowder smoke and blood began to fill the battlefield.

On the Japanese coalition side, the formation of the vanguard death squads was suddenly in chaos.

Ashikaga Naoyoshi naturally said it beforehand that the Ming army had weapons of mass destruction like artillery shells.

But according to his judgment, the number of artillery shells of the Ming army could not be too many, otherwise they would not have fired so many shells last time. My [-]-strong army can be easily defeated with artillery shells.

What Ashikaga Naoyoshi didn't know was that he was facing Xu Da, the military god of the Ming Dynasty.

According to Xu Da's fighting style, how could he reveal his background to the enemy?

The rear of the Japanese princes' coalition forces.

"Ashikaga Naoyoshi, didn't you explain that the number of artillery shells in the army is limited? What's going on now? See for yourself, how many rounds of shelling is this already? Are you letting my men die in vain!" A daimyo watched his soldiers being blasted into pieces one after another, his eyes turned red, he stepped forward, grabbed Ashikaga Naoyoshi's clothes, and asked loudly.

Ashikaga Naoyoshi pushed it away with one hand and said coldly: "My people are also in front, and my people will only be more than yours. Even if I die, my people will die first!"

Ashikaga Naoyoshi turned to look at the battlefield ahead, his face was ferocious and terrifying.

"Now that things have come to a point, we can only fill it with more lives. Otherwise, all our efforts will be wasted, and the deaths of these brothers in front of us will be in vain."

"Let the new person take over!"

"Then let the war team come on stage."

The idea of ​​the Japanese coalition is good, but people are not machines.

These dead warriors may really not be afraid of death at the moment they are willing to become dead warriors.

But in this world, there are only moments when you are not afraid of death, and there is no one who is not afraid of death.

Now that death is so close, these guys realize that everyone is afraid of death. I watched with my own eyes as my companions beside me were blown into blood clots one by one, and I watched as their internal organs and severed limbs flew past my eyes.

What sounded in the ears was a shrill wail, and as far as the eyes could see, there were faces of fear.

War in the age of firearms was far more cruel than they imagined.

The impact is also much greater.

One man was shot to death by an arrow, and another man was blown to pieces.

The two are simply not the same thing.

The sound of artillery is getting thinner and thinner, but the speed of the Japanese coalition's death squads advancing is getting slower and slower.

"Retreat, die!"

At this moment, a supervising team came directly from the artillery fire to the front line and executed death sentences on the hesitant vanguard soldiers.

This supervising team has a small number of people and is made up of elite subordinates of various famous soldiers.

They are all warriors with firm beliefs and value the honor of being warriors more important than their own lives.

After the supervising team joined, the vanguard soldiers finally reorganized their formation and once again launched a death charge towards the Ming army.

The rear of the Japanese allied forces.

"The sound of gunfire has decreased." Kusunoki Masashige stared at the situation on the field and suddenly said. "Although the casualties are more serious than expected, this battle can be fought."

"Next is the most important time. According to previous experience, after the artillery fire is over, their musketeers should also come out." Naoyoshi Ashikaga said solemnly.

Izumo country.

On Xu Da's side, he predicted that the enemy's offensive this time would be unprecedentedly fierce. Therefore, after repelling Ashikaga Takauji's army, he had already sent people to the port where the warship docked and mobilized all weapons and resources. Adjusted this way.

But the number of enemies is still too many after all.

As Naoyoshi Ashikaga expected, as the Japanese coalition forces continued to approach, when they reached the range of the Hongwu rifle.

Standing behind the various fortifications built, Ming soldiers began to shoot with their rifles.

More than three thousand Hongwu rifles, combined with artillery, showed powerful lethality on the battlefield outside the city of Izumo!

Taking advantage of the range, the Ming army could be said to have unilaterally crushed and killed the Japanese coalition forces!

boom! boom! boom!

The bullets shot forward like dense raindrops.

The Japanese soldiers charging towards Izumo Kingdom fell one after another.

The soldiers behind continued to rush forward with their shields in their hands.

Two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps and one hundred steps!

With every step forward, a large number of Japanese soldiers died.

But seeing that they were about to rush in, within the shooting range of their archers, the eyes of the Japanese coalition forces showed the light of hope.

On the Japanese coalition side, the archers are also ready to set up their bows and shoot arrows.

These archers all have firm faces and extremely determined eyes.

They all knew in their hearts what sacrifices their comrades had made in order to create an opportunity for them to attack!

Therefore, each of the archers poured everything into the arrows to be fired. They thought in their hearts that they must use the bows and arrows in their hands to avenge the deaths of these comrades in arms.

But at this moment, a round of fire rain suddenly fell from the sky.

Feel the fire.

The archers raised their heads subconsciously, and arrows with flames in their sights rained down on them. (End of chapter)
