261, The first battle against the Japanese pirates
"Baga, don't retreat. Reload faster. Their lead bullets have also been used up. The repeaters reload more slowly. Don't be afraid." Kurokawa Ichiro shouted to the running iron gunners.
Although half of these idiots fell down, didn't you see that there are no bullets in the guns of these red deer?
I just heard the sound of nine consecutive gunshots, which meant that these people had nine weapons that fired continuously.
But as soon as the gunfire stopped, he immediately knew that the other side was also loading. Since loading nine rounds, it would definitely be much slower than loading one round on his side. These idiots didn't reload quickly and wanted to run away.
What a bunch of idiots.
Lightning flashed through the iron gunner's head. That's right, they are repeating guns, and the loading time will only be longer. After all, whether it takes longer to load nine rounds or one round, as long as there is no problem with the brain, it can be calculated immediately.
.
Immediately, the remaining thirty or so musketeers began reloading desperately.
"Change the barrel!" Li Huaishu yelled, and the ten musketeers immediately began to unload the finished barrels and hang them on their waists, and then pulled out new barrels from their backs and installed them.
These soldiers were well trained and it only took fifteen seconds.
The Japanese pirate on the opposite side has not yet loaded a single shot.
"Fire!" Li Huaishu yelled again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was another storm of fire, and ninety rounds of lead bullets hit him all over again in less than ten seconds.
Once again, they penetrated the bulwarks and hit the remaining thirty or so iron gunners intensively.
Ichiro Kurokawa was dumbfounded. It was only about ten breaths ago that they actually shot again. What the hell? How did they do it?
Another ninety rounds of lead bullets came.
This time there was no standing Iron Gunner.
The Marines killed the iron gunner who threatened the most and immediately rushed up the stairs.
"Come up and fight with them. There are few of them." Kurokawa Ichiro shouted loudly. Since the iron gunners were finished, let's fight with them hand to hand. He saw clearly that there were only fifty people coming up, but there were more people on his side.
There were more than 370 Japanese pirates who originally boarded the ship. A dozen of them were injured when they collided with the ship. The grenade explosion just now killed and injured more than 60 people, and more than 70 iron gunners were killed by the fire door gun.
.A total reduction of about 150 people.
At this time, Kurokawa Ichiro still had more than 210 people from the bow and stern of the ship in his hands. The number of people was still superior, and the pirates all knew that Akito's fighting ability was very poor, and it was not like they had never fought against the Ming Navy.
A dozen Japanese pirates can often deal with hundreds of soldiers of the Ming Navy in hand-to-hand combat.
Many of these Japanese pirates were samurai who lost their masters after the Warring States Period. They had experienced more than ten years of war and were rich in experience. They had been wandering at sea for more than ten years, which was when their martial arts reached their peak.
They are not afraid of hand-to-hand combat.
The martial arts of the Ming Dynasty navy are nothing but a joke at sea.
The more than seventy remaining Japanese pirates on the stern rushed up with Japanese swords and spears. The more than one hundred and forty Japanese pirates on the opposite bow also rushed down, preparing to attack from both front and rear.
However, soon the thirty crew members on the Star immediately raised their flintlock rifles and fired a burst of fire at the Japanese pirates rushing down from the bow of the ship. At that time, they hit about twenty people.
The shield soldier behind him also immediately took out his double-barreled flintlock musket and pulled the trigger at the Japanese pirates coming up from behind.
Suddenly there was gunfire again.
The Japanese pirate who rushed ahead was knocked to the ground.
The Japanese pirates in the back were called out one by one by flintlock guns fired from the Star. They fell down and could not get up again.
The Japanese pirates who rushed down from the bow were so frightened that they fled back and got into the cabin to avoid the fire cannon fire.
As soon as the Japanese pirates on the bow escaped, they immediately isolated the Japanese pirates on the stern.
Kurokawa Ichiro saw something bad and rolled his eyes. Taking advantage of the confusion and the fact that the weather was starting to turn dark, he quietly stepped back, grabbed a piece of driftwood, and jumped into the sea.
Drifting along the ocean current to the coast of Korea.
The remaining Japanese pirates were all red-eyed. Fighting on the ship was no better than on land, and they had nowhere to run.
We can only fight hard.
Japanese swords, spears, and even axes slashed hard at the shield. The carburized hardened steel plate made a loud thud, but it was not penetrated.
The Marines stood close to each other, holding on to their shields and squeezing the pirates forward. They rushed forward to face the pirates' swords and guns.
The team members opened the shooting holes of their shields horizontally and took out another double-barreled short-fire gun.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another burst of smoke filled the air. Who can fight with you if you have muskets? These Japanese pirates were hit by muskets one after another and fell down with strange screams. The rest hurriedly got into the cabin.
Soon, there were no more Japanese pirates in Class A. They were all forced into the cabin.
"People below, listen, put down your weapons, put your hands on your head, come out and surrender immediately, otherwise you will be shot without mercy."
Li Huaishu asked a sailor who understood Japanese language to go up and shout.
With a whoosh, an arrow shot out from the cabin.
Li Huaishu had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly lifted the sailor lying at the entrance of the warehouse away. But it was too late. The arrow hit his throat. The sailor held the arrow tightly with both hands and struggled for a few times before becoming motionless.
Li Huaishu was furious. These Japanese pirates were really smelly and tough. They were so arrogant even when they were about to die. No wonder the master hated these dwarfs so much.
"Control all the warehouse entrances and throw grenades in there. Blow up these sons of bitches."
The soldiers immediately controlled all the warehouse entrances and doors. The Marines were on the top and outside. The Japanese pirates were on the bottom and inside.
The grenades were thrown in one after another, and the cabin was filled with smoke. In the small space, the power of the grenades was amplified.
Hand grenades are very suitable for throwing into small spaces. Whether it is digging holes or blowing up ship cabins.
The resistance of the Japanese pirates was meaningless. When they gathered in a group, grenades flew over them. When they dispersed, short-fire muskets bombarded them.
In combat, swords and guns are not as good as handguns. Flintlock gunshots have very good directivity and can basically hit wherever they are pointed.
Whether it's chopping or stabbing, it's not as fast as pulling the trigger.
The space in the cabin is small, and the shorter the weapon, the more advantageous it is. But when a short weapon encounters a short firecracker with an effective range of ten meters, it turns into a fire stick.
After clearing one area, the soldiers held shields and continued to attack the next area. Soon the cabins were cleared piece by piece.
