Chapter 1123 Bloodbath in Kyoto ([-])
The gunshots kept roaring, and there was the chanting of the god of death, and human life passed by like a mustard. No matter how the wild Japanese attacked, it was difficult to cross the 60-meter line. Nothing else, in the Qing military system, The Marine Corps is a very special unit. Although there are few heavy weapons, there are many machine guns. Whenever the latest firearms are successfully researched, the Marine Corps is always the first to equip them. In addition, the training is extremely strict. Almost every soldier They were all sharpshooters, their guns were deadly, but within a short time, the Japanese people who were shot and killed were lying all over the ground, bleeding profusely, and their appearance was really like a hell on earth.

The Japanese do have a brutal and ruthless spirit in their bones. Even though they were shot and killed countless times by the Qing army, their successors still rushed forward regardless. Such crazy behavior really makes people feel uneasy. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Qing army are all Well-trained people, apart from being a little nervous at the beginning, they were all red-eyed in the end. Not only were they not intimidated by the fierceness of the Japanese, but they were completely enraged, shooting, shooting, bombing, and bombing again , killing the Japanese corpses all over the field, finally, in the face of huge casualties, the Japanese could no longer stretch their nerves, and fled in a panic, but the Qing army officers and soldiers who were red-eyed still refused. Let go, the roar of gunfire sent a hymn of death to the retreating Japanese.

"Stop shooting!"

Killing the defeated Japanese is certainly a very enjoyable thing, but as the Japanese fled away, the hit rate has inevitably dropped significantly. Li Shun is obviously not satisfied with this, nothing else, Although he had made sufficient preparations in advance, the ammunition was limited after all. He didn't want to waste the limited ammunition on such obvious cannon fodder. As soon as the defeated Japanese escaped from the 300-meter line, Li Shun immediately raised his hand , issued a general order loudly.

"Vag, vomit..."

The gunshots stopped, but it was not dead silence, no, the sound of nausea and vomiting on the wall rang out one after another, nothing else, the scene in front of me was really frightening—it was only half a stick of incense before and after In just a short amount of time, the surrounding area of ​​the Kyoto Imperial Palace has become a bloody hell. Thousands of corpses are lying all over the ground, and the blood flows into a river. The officers and soldiers of the Qing army also personally slaughtered cattle, sheep and other poultry during training, and even went to the execution ground to observe the autumn execution. They have seen blood to some extent, but such a little blood, compared with the current situation, It is too far away, no matter how thick the nerves are, facing such shocking scenes, it is inevitable to feel sick.

"Open your eyes and take a good look at me. Those lying on the ground over there are all miscellaneous. For those who are enemies of my Qing Dynasty, a hundred deaths are not enough to forgive their crimes. It is best to die cleanly. You can see clearly, and you still want to vomit. Yes, just spit it out for me!"

Li Shun is a high-ranking general who started from the grassroots, so how could he not know how the recruits would react to such a bloody battle scene? If it continues, if not, the morale of the army will be over.

No one is born with a heart of stone, and no one is born with a heartless heart. Even an iron-blooded soldier can only be regarded as a truly qualified soldier if he is a soldier with blood and corpses. They all knew it very well, because of this, following Li Shun's order, although the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps were still guilty of nausea, none of them dared to lower their heads and look at the bloody battlefield. The eyes were terrified at first, then confused, but they were quickly replaced by determination. The person is still the same, but the spirit is completely different.

"Report, Tokugawa-sama, there is an urgent dispatch from the Fanzhong!"

The morale of the Qing army was extremely high, while the Japanese side was very downcast. They blamed each other. When the quarrel was in full swing, a warrior with several small flags on his back rushed into the crowd and rushed towards the crowd. Tokugawa Minglan knelt down and reported aloud.

"Oh? Hiss..."

Hearing that it was an urgent report from the Fanzhong, Tokugawa Minglan dared not neglect it, and hastily reached out to take the small bamboo tube held high in the hand of the warrior, took out a roll of paper from inside, and unfolded it. Immediately he took a deep breath, there was nothing else, the thing written on it was that the Qing army fleet had arrived in Osaka Bay.

"Tokugawa-kun, this is..."

"Tokugawa-kun, could it be that Mr. Xiyang didn't come?"

"Master Tokugawa..."

……

Seeing Tokugawa Minglan's strange expression, all the daimyos couldn't care less about complaining to each other, they hurriedly gathered around and started asking questions.

"It's nothing, the fleet of the masters of the West may arrive later, and now we can only rely on ourselves in this battle. We must win the Imperial Palace within one day!"

There were so many people around here, Tokugawa Minglan really didn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise, the morale that had already suffered a severe setback was bound to collapse completely, so she clenched her fist and crumpled the paper in her hand Tuan, stuffed it into his arms, and explained a sentence in a calm and calm manner.

"Hey, these Westerners are really nothing. They promised to come, but they lost their credibility. No matter, since they want to fight, they should all use their wealth. The Musketeers go to battle and enter the Imperial Palace in one fell swoop!"

Sei Kazutori was the first to launch the attack before, but he himself did not charge forward, but urged the peasants who were engulfed to take the lead. Although the casualties were heavy, in fact, the main force of each feudal clan did not have the slightest bit. The loss, the dead are all farmers near Kyoto, Sei Kazutori will not care about the life and death of those people, his confidence is still under his breath, and the desire to fight will not diminish in the slightest, no, Tokugawa Akira As soon as Lan's words fell, he was the first to curse and let out wild words.

"Well, it's settled like this. The musketeers from all clans will go up together and besiege from all sides, so as to defeat the enemy in one battle!"

The musketeers are the elite of each feudal clan, and they are used to suppress the bottom of the box. The daimyos of the feudal clans are unwilling to just use it like this, and for a while, no one comes forward to agree with Kazutori Sei's proposal. Chuan Minglan is fully supportive, there is no one else, although he has not received any news from Kagoshima, but Tokugawa Minglan knows that there may be an accident with the fleet of the five western countries, otherwise, there will be no such thing The large-scale Qing fleet has rushed over. Under the current situation, if the Kyoto Imperial Palace cannot be breached as soon as possible and the Japanese king is rescued in one fell swoop, when the main force of the Qing army lands, all the people gathered here will not end well. It is said that only by retreating to Edo with the King of Wa can we launch a national war in the name of the King of Wa and fight the Qing army to the death.

"Dong dong dong..."

Since Tokugawa Minglan issued the decisive battle order, although the daimyos of the various feudal clans had their own ideas, they could not forcibly oppose them. They could only pass on their orders and mobilized all the main forces of the feudal clan. At that time, the firearms teams of various domains began to assemble into formations, and more than forty old-fashioned artillery were pushed out, divided into three places, and lined up in front of the formation, posing a posture of preparing for a decisive battle with the Qing army.

"Order: The artillery battalion is in position, let me destroy the enemy artillery positions!"

Seeing that the main force of the Wa Kingdom had been dispatched, Li Shun who was standing on the tall gate of the city did not dare to neglect, but seeing him raise his hand, he already issued a general order loudly.

"Hearing orders in succession: secret position, three holes, four holes, three holes, five....

"Erlian listening order: secret position, four holes, four, four holes, seven..."

"Three consecutive hearing orders: secret position..."

Although the artillery positions of the Qing army were concentrated in the center of the imperial palace, there were observation posts on the four walls. Following Li Shun's order, the observation posts rushed to convey the secret positions to the artillery positions with semaphore. Seeing this, the company commanders of the artillery company did not dare to be negligent. After a series of orders were issued, each artillery began to adjust before firing.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The light infantry artillery used by the Qing Marine Corps is the latest type of special infantry artillery. The weight of the artillery body is more than half lighter than that of the old model, but its power has more than doubled. All the shells are integrated The conical warhead is no longer filled with black gunpowder, but yellow explosives, and the bullets loaded in the earlier shells are replaced by bursting discs. The range is as far as 500 meters. Although it is deployed in the center of the palace, it can Within a range of 500 meters around the Imperial Palace, all of them were covered by the artillery. With the order of the artillery battalion commander, the 27 artillery pieces that were already ready began to shoot wildly, and in an instant, the Japanese side had just been arranged. The artillery positions were beaten to pieces.

"Fire, fire!"

Under the sudden attack, the commanders of the three Japanese artillery positions were immediately anxious, regardless of the fact that their own cannons had not yet completed the adjustment before firing, they roared and gave the order, but it is a pity that at this moment the Japanese artillery Already completely dazed by the rapid artillery attack of the Qing army, with so many dead and wounded, only a few were able to launch shelling according to the general's order. The few shells smashed into the wall of the imperial palace indiscriminately, did they achieve any effect? Not only that, but the artillery positions were quickly beaten to silence by the fierce and abnormal firepower of the Qing army. As soon as the battle started, the more than [-] old artillery pieces on the Japanese side were completely wiped out.

"Baga, Musketeers, attack, kill!"

Seeing that his own artillery position was destroyed by the Qing army in an instant, Sei Kazutori, who was in charge of commanding the musketeer team to fight, immediately turned red-eyed, brandished a katana, and roared to give the order to attack.

"Dong dong dong..."

Following the order of Kazutori Sei, the musketeers lined up in a phalanx began to press forward, and the three infantry phalanxes began to advance towards the wall of the Imperial Palace from three sides. The drums were rumbling and their steps were neat. There is really a shadow of a strong army, as for the specific combat power, you have to fight to know...
