Both sides were silent for about seven or eight minutes, and each was accumulating murderous aura! Finally, a long horn sounded in the direction of the Japanese army! Then there was a drum and horn! Even the mast soldiers shouted loudly, and the momentum was shocking!

This is the habit of the Japanese soldiers before going to war. They try to crush their opponents in this way. Although they may not be able to scare their opponents, they are very useful in improving their morale!

Liu Pei was not willing to be outdone. There were heavy drum beats sounding here! However, the drum beats were not anxious or slow, dull and powerful, making them look like a mountain.

At this time, the sounds of both sides shook the sky and the earth! On the one hand, it was like a violent wave! On the other hand, it was like a reef that remained unchanged for thousands of years! It was hard to tell who had more momentum and who could defeat who?

As the drum horn ended, the Japanese side took the lead in fighting two square formations, which looked like about 8,000 people. It can be seen that Masao Hirota was planning to launch a tentative attack. It was just a tentative attack and was fierce enough!

Liu Pei knew Tian Zhengsheng's idea very well. Eight thousand people said that there were not more or less, and they just happened to be better than Liu Pei in terms of strength. If the attack went smoothly, the feint attack would turn into a real attack. These eight thousand people would be entangled in Liu Pei's position to cover up their own Zhu Li's assault!

If the feint attack tactic fails, it will be no pity even if all the eight thousand people die. Anyway, except for a small number of warriors, the rest of the eight thousand people are all private troops sent by various daimyos. It doesn’t pity if all of them die!

Moreover, from the formations they arranged, the meaning of temptation is quite obvious. Both square formations are arranged in relatively loose formations. One is relatively sparse and the other is relatively tight. But neither is the kind of standing shoulder to shoulder in normal wars. This is clearly used to test the tolerance of the loose formation to artillery.

Liu Pei put down his telescope and said to Qi Qitao beside him: "It seems that the Tokugawa family is not all idiots either! Look at their formation, they had long expected that they would encounter shelling!"

Qi Qitao sneered and said, "What's the use of predicting it? If they don't suffer a blow in person, they don't know how powerful the artillery is.

It's great! It's great that they can do this by relying on their imagination!"

Liu Pei and Qi Qitao were not worried about the formation of the Japanese army at all. Because in the era of cold weapons, it was the stupidest thing to use sparse formation to attack the opponent's front! They got nothing except being massacred!

Therefore, the soldiers in the cold weapon era fought in extremely dense formations, advance, retreat and defend. Because they were dispersed, they would die! Moreover, Liu Pei and the others had practiced this situation long ago. The artillery also used scarecrows to test the impact of various formations on artillery attacks. Therefore, how to deal with various formations has long been clear.

As the Japanese army advanced, they slowly entered the shooting range of the artillery. However, Liu Pei did not order artillery shooting at all. Because he was waiting for the Japanese soldiers to slowly form a dense formation as they approached him.

Because of the conditioned reflex formed by long-term training and the instinct to face danger, when any army approaches the enemy, soldiers will definitely look for safe and reliable shoulders to rely on. What kind of shoulders can be more reliable and solid than the shoulders of comrades?

What's more, Liu Pei has a small number of people and a small position. When the Japanese army approaches, the formation will naturally become dense. So by that time, Liu Pei's artillery will give them a deep impression!

The Japanese army continued to move forward with extraordinary momentum. While approaching Liu Pei, the front military formation had basically returned to its former dense formation. You must know that sparse formations are not so easy to appear. Just like our army's three-three formations, they were only able to run out after a long period of training! The new recruits were all squeezed into groups as soon as they entered the battle.

The distance-finding soldiers around Liu Pei have been reporting to Liu Pei the distance of the Japanese striker. "2500 meters!"

“2300 meters!”

“2000 meters!”

When the rangefinder shouted "1800 meters", Liu Pei waved his hand decisively and said, "Single and double artillery positions take turns to fire! Be careful, shoot slowly! One shell per minute!"

After receiving the order, the messenger beside Liu Pei immediately waved the flag. The gunners, who had been impatient, immediately ignited the cannon's fuse. Then, 25 cannons fired almost at the same time.

The sound completely merged into a loud sound! 25 shells drew beautiful arcs and flew through the air, smashing towards the enemy's army!

The Japanese soldiers also saw the red light and smoke from the cannons, and heard the sound of thunder! Then they saw the iron ball flying in the air! Their team was just a beat! The Japanese soldiers had never suffered artillery attacks, so they didn't know how to deal with it. They could only watch 25 shells land on their side!

When in Nagasaki, there was a high probability that 800 people would be killed by ten cannons. That was because 800 people gathered together did not have much area. But eight thousand people were different! It was a dark place to gather there!

As the saying goes, ten thousand people are boundless. In this case, every cannon will not be shot empty! A solid spherical shell fell and 25 flesh-and-blood alleys were opened directly among the crowd! For a moment, the broken limbs and arms flew, the broken swords and guns shattered, blood splattered everywhere, and the wails of the wounded mixed together!

During the first shooting, the gunners estimated the angles different. Some of them happened to land in front of the Japanese soldiers' queue. After the shells landed on the ground, they bounced forward on the ground, which discounted the legs of countless people!

Some of the ballistics were slightly higher, and the shells hit the upper half of the Japanese samurai directly! As a result, the soldier's upper body was completely broken! Then the shells pierced through the chest and abdomen of the second person, the lower abdomen of the third person... until it landed and bounced up again!

There were also shells that were hit a little higher. The shells directly passed through the front rows of soldiers and landed in the crowd behind them, directly smashing the heads of the people, then smashing the second person's neck and the third person's chest... and it stopped until it finally lost its motivation!

This round of artillery attacks caused a huge blow to the Japanese soldiers! It was not only a blow to life, but also a heavy blow to the spirit!
