"You step back and reload your gunpowder, and we will leave this little Japanese pirate leader to us."
The originally evacuated Zhejiang Army team had loaded up their gunpowder, dismounted, formed a dense queue, raised their blunderbuss, aimed at the leader of the Japanese pirates, and pulled the trigger. The match rope was then stretched towards the fire door, and the flames exploded.
"Bang bang bang..."
A dense and uniform burst of firecrackers sounded.
Suddenly, the little Japanese pirate leader, who was wearing half armor and holding a Japanese sword majestically, was hit by several bullets. It was as if he was electrocuted. He was shaking, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and he fell down in disbelief.
The Zhejiang soldiers' hit rate when shooting on the ground is still quite high. They have already used projectiles to feed them.
Although he is not a sharpshooter, he can still hit seven out of ten shots.
Ten muskets were fired together, and the little Japanese pirate leader was hit by at least six or seven bullets. He was already dead before his body fell down.
The rest of the Japanese pirates stopped subconsciously as soon as the gunfire went off. They reached out and touched themselves in shock. After finding that there was no hole in their body, they couldn't help but grinned in joy. Then they discovered that their leader was dead.
All of a sudden, I was in a leaderless situation, looking around blankly, not knowing what to do, whether to continue rushing forward, or simply turn around and run.
When they were confused, the Zhejiang Army team did not accompany them in confusion. After quickly replacing the spare barrel, they opened fire again.
"Bang bang bang..."
In a volley, ten projectiles were fired at the dazed Japanese pirates on the opposite side.
Due to the scattered positions of the Japanese pirates, the hit rate of this round of salvo was not that high, and only five Japanese pirates were shot down.
"Damn it, if we don't eat them, our retreat will be a dead end."
Several prestigious Japanese pirates among the Japanese pirates quickly reached an agreement and continued to carry out the original orders of the small leader.
All the Japanese pirates have experienced hundreds of battles, and they all know in their hearts that they will not be able to escape unless they eat the Zhejiang troops in front of them.
They were running on two legs, but the Zhejiang army was chasing them on four legs. They could never outrun the Zhejiang army. The Zhejiang army could chase and fire at the same time with ease, so they would become a living target for the Zhejiang army.
The road to escape is the road to death.
Therefore, only by eating these Zhejiang troops in front of them can they retreat and escape without any worries.
"Brothers, they have fewer people and we have more people. If we eat them, we will go after the large army. In this way, the leaders will not be able to punish us anymore."
Following the words of several prestigious Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates quickly reached an agreement, waved their Japanese knives again, and charged towards the Zhejiang army with howling screams.
This time the Japanese pirates were smarter and their positions were spread out, with at least two meters between each Japanese pirate.
Seeing the Japanese pirates charging again, the Zhejiang Army team got on their horses without hesitation, turned their horses' heads and retreated.
Their muskets, including the spare musket tubes, all fired, and they had to retreat and reload gunpowder before they could continue shooting.
The Zhejiang army retreated on mules and horses. How could the two-legged Japanese pirates catch up with the four-legged mules and horses?
When the Japanese pirates chased them for about twenty meters, the Zhejiang Army squad had already retreated behind the two Zhejiang Army squadrons that had just retreated.
"Bang bang bang...".
Two fully loaded Zhejiang troops held up their muskets and fired a volley at the squeaking Japanese pirates.
Because the Japanese pirates were more spread out, the two teams' volleys in this round only took away eight Japanese pirates.
"See, the more spread out our positions are, the harder it will be for Mingguo's fire cannon to hit us!".
"Keep rushing, don't stop, don't let them use Mongolian tactics to kill you, faster, faster."
Several prestigious Japanese pirates who had experienced hundreds of battles immediately saw the intention of the Zhejiang Army team and shouted to alert all the Japanese pirates.
The other Japanese pirates have also been battle-hardened for many years and have been fighting in the sea of blood for many years. Once reminded, they realized the key point, so they ignored the dead and injured Japanese pirates, screamed and speeded up again, and pounced on the two men who were replacing the spare barrels.
A Zhejiang Army squad.
The distance between the two sides was too close. The two Zhejiang Army teams had no time to open fire, and the Japanese pirates came within ten meters.
If we open fire, we will be surrounded by Japanese pirates.
"Retreat, keep some distance before we talk." The two commanders made a prompt decision and gave the order without hesitation.
Two small groups of Zhejiang troops got on their horses, turned their horses' heads, kicked the horses' belly repeatedly, and then retreated quickly.
The Zhejiang Army team behind them who was loading gunpowder saw this and had no time to load gunpowder. They got on their horses and retreated quickly.
"Hahaha, my brothers are chasing after me. There is a ditch and beam in front of me. The horses are climbing slowly, so they can't run..."
The Japanese pirates chasing behind became excited.
The Zhejiang Army team followed them twenty or thirty meters away. In front of the Zhejiang Army team was a ditch with a slope of about ten meters high. The speed of the horses going up the slope would be reduced. This was their opportunity.
In addition, the Zhejiang army was on horseback, and it was difficult to load gunpowder and fire blunderbuss. This was a God-given opportunity. How could the Japanese pirates not be excited?
As a result, the Japanese pirates became more and more courageous and pursued faster and faster. In a short period of time, their speed was not much slower than that of mules and horses.
Especially when the Zhejiang army retreated to Gouliangzi on mules and horses, their speed suddenly slowed down a bit. When the Japanese pirates saw this, their morale immediately increased and their speed increased a bit faster, taking the opportunity to close the distance with the Zhejiang army team.
Especially when the Zhejiang army rode up the hill on mules and horses, the Japanese pirates were already less than ten meters away from them.
"Kill!"
"Kill Ming Gou, turn around and leave! Go back to your lair, be promoted to the throne and receive the reward!"
The Japanese pirates grimaced in excitement. In their excitement, adrenaline hormones were secreted, making them speed up a bit.
Just when the Japanese pirates rushed down the slope, preparing to rush up the high slope and chop the Zhejiang soldiers on the slope to pieces, many Zhejiang soldiers suddenly appeared on the upper slope, each holding a musket and aiming with an expressionless expression.
them.
Rows, two, and three rows, squatting, bowing, and standing, the densely packed Zhejiang troops were like a copper wall and an iron wall.
"What the hell?!"
All the Japanese pirates were dumbfounded and panicked, and some subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.
"Don't panic. There is a bright dog in front of us. They don't dare to fire. Only by rushing forward and pestering the bright dog in front of us can we have a chance to survive. If we run back, how can we outrun the four-legged beast? Then
It becomes a living target for Ming Gou."
Several prestigious Japanese pirates shouted quickly.
Therefore, a group of Japanese pirates exerted their strength again and continued to rush forward, hoping to get entangled with the three Zhejiang troops in front of them, so that the Zhejiang troops on the slope would throw rat traps and not dare to fire at them.
How could the three Zhejiang troops in front follow the Japanese pirates' wishes? The moment they saw the reinforcements, they split into two groups and drove their horses to both sides in a circuitous manner, exposing the Japanese pirates behind them.
