Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, getting closer and closer. Zhu Pingan noticed that the Japanese pirates had already rushed to about 150 meters, and knew that the Japanese pirates must repeat their old tricks, shooting arrows at about 100 meters to cover the Japanese pirates in front.
, then shouted to remind all the soldiers, "Raise your shield, lower your head, be careful of Japanese pirate projectiles and arrows."
"Raise your shield, lower your head! Be careful of projectiles and arrows!"
From the battalion commander to the corps commander, officers at all levels of the Zhejiang Army also shouted, reminding their subordinates to raise their shields and lower their heads.
After this period of training, the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army have engraved in their bones the ability to obey orders. When they heard the shouts of Zhu Pingan and officers at all levels, they lowered their heads one after another. The soldiers in the back row raised their shields at an angle to block themselves and the soldiers in front.
It took less than two seconds for the Zhejiang army soldiers to raise their shields. The Japanese pirates who rushed to a hundred meters began to draw their bows and shoot arrows and opened fire.
Among this wave of four thousand Japanese pirates, there were more than a thousand archers and more than a hundred fire gunmen.
In an instant, arrows rained down like a shower, mixed with projectiles like hail, flying towards the Zhejiang Army's formation.
Ding ding ding...bang bang...
The arrows and projectiles hit the shield and cotton armor, making a dull metallic clashing sound.
"ah……".
Occasionally, there were a few muffled grunts and painful sounds.
- With more than a thousand feathered arrows and more than a hundred projectiles, there will always be fish that slip through the blind spot of the shield and hit the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army. Especially the fire blunderbuss is very powerful. Although they were separated by more than a hundred meters, there were still a few fires.
The blunderbuss exerted extraordinary power and was so powerful that it penetrated the shield. Fortunately, all the officers and soldiers of the Zhejiang Army wore armor. The cotton armor had a large protective area and high protective performance. Even if an arrow slipped through the net, it would not cause death.
This round of arrows and projectiles from the Japanese pirates landed, and more than a dozen Zhejiang soldiers were injured. Most of them were minor injuries. Only one person was unlucky and his injuries were a little more serious, but he was not seriously injured and was thrown into the firing line.
Under the cover of this round of arrow rain, the charging Japanese pirates broke into a distance of 80 meters in front of the Zhejiang army's formation.
Then, the Japanese pirates shot another round of feather arrows. Because they had no time to load the fire blunderbuss, this time they were all bow arrows.
This round of arrow rain also caused minor injuries to several Zhejiang troops, and the Japanese pirates also rushed 60 meters in front of the formation under the cover of the arrow rain.
At this point, the Japanese pirates who were releasing arrows also closed their bows and arrows, and rushed forward. The Japanese pirates in front were too close to the Zhejiang army's position, their archery skills had not yet reached the point where they could hit the target with perfect accuracy, and their arrows did not have eyes, so they could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
If you let go of the arrows again, many Japanese pirates will definitely be accidentally injured, so you can only close your bows and arrows and follow the charge.
"Ready! Fire!"
After the Japanese pirates rushed about 50 meters in front of the formation, Zhu Pingan raised his right hand to order the Zhejiang army to prepare to fire. After the Japanese pirates rushed about 30 meters in front of the formation, he waved his right hand vigorously and ordered the fire.
"Bang bang bang..."
Zhu Ping'an gave an order, and the Zhejiang army's firecrackers sounded densely and neatly, as if the gate of hell had been opened.
The Japanese pirate who was charging at the front felt as if his body had been hit hard by a hammer. His whole body fell backward uncontrollably. When he fell to the ground, he saw a blood flower blooming on his chest from the corner of his eye.
The strength is withdrawn from the body, the temperature also leaves the body, and even the consciousness leaves the body...
Fear, regret, unwillingness, helplessness... At the last moment before their consciousness disappeared, they were deeply immersed in fear and regret. Why should they be pioneers, why should they be Japanese pirates, if there is another chance...
But without if, they can only end their short and sinful life in fear and regret.
The Japanese pirates at the front fell down in pieces like wheat harvested by a scythe, causing a cloud of dust to fly.
"Ah, it hurts me too..."
"Help, save me, save me, I don't want to die..."
Some Japanese pirates did not die on the spot after falling to the ground, but fell to the ground and let out bursts of heartbreaking howls of pain.
This scene was so terrifying. All the Japanese pirates who participated in the charge never imagined that there would be such a way of death on the battlefield. The Japanese pirates fell to the ground and died like cutting wheat. No matter how brave, fierce and good at fighting he was, in Zhejiang
In front of the army's gunfire, no one could escape the result of screaming "ah" and falling to the ground.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, your body is still made of flesh. Even wearing armor is of no use. The Zhejiang Army's firecrackers are too powerful, and they fire within thirty meters, and the armor on your body is like paper lake.
"Fuck, be careful!"
After the Zhejiang Army fired the first round of firecrackers, the Japanese pirates had not yet recovered from the fear and shock. They heard someone yelling in horror. When they looked up, they saw the Zhejiang Army in front of them, and the front row had finished firing.
The Zhejiang troops retreated, and the Zhejiang troops in the back row moved up to become the first row. The switching between the front and rear rows was as natural and smooth as water.
Then, they saw sparks blooming again in front of the Zhejiang army's formation, and the neat and dense sound of firecrackers rang out.
Deadly projectiles flew from the sparks.
It was like the god of death wielding the sickle again, and like swarms of Japanese pirates cutting wheat, they fell to the ground.
The ones who died on the spot were relatively well-off, one death was enough for a hundred, but the Japanese pirates who were shot but not dead fell to the ground and screamed like slaughtering pigs.
The screams were like those of evil spirits in hell who had their tongues pulled out and put in a frying pan. It was so infiltrative and chilling.
After two rounds of baptism with fire cannons, the Japanese pirates rushing in front were cleared out of the vacuum areas, and their blood flowed into rivers.
horrible.
My scalp was numb, and my heart seemed to be gripped by a demon. It was thumping, thumping, and I could hardly breathe.
Every Japanese pirate who was still charging felt the terror of death. His whole body was shaking, his legs were weak, and he could hardly move. He could only rely on inertia to rush forward, but his speed was much slower than before.
Especially now that they are the Japanese pirates in the front row, stepping on the bodies of the Japanese pirates who fell to the ground in front of them, they feel more deeply and their fear is several times that of the other Japanese pirates. They know that it will be their turn next. All of them look pale and have their mouths open.
It was very loud, but what came out was no longer a killing cry, but hoarse screams...
"Bang bang bang..."
The neat and dense firecrackers of the Zhejiang army sounded again, like hell blowing the horn of harvest again.
Amidst the screams, the Japanese pirates once again fell down in pieces like wheat, killing a large area.
"Oh my god, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."
"I don't want the reward, nor the woman. I just want my life. Run quickly. If you don't run, it will be our turn. The Zhejiang army's firearms are too powerful. If you get close to them, you will die."
The horror between life and death made many charging Japanese pirates, especially those in the front row, no longer able to bear the fear in their hearts. They shouted in terror, turned around and ran to the rear.
They were Japanese pirates, originally a mob, without much discipline. Just like the plague infection, one person who escaped from battle would infect ten, and ten would infect a hundred. Soon the Japanese pirates would become chaotic.
