Mr. Qian led the soldiers down the city tower and came to the inside of the city gate. He stood at the door. Thousands of soldiers seemed to appear in front of him. He was almost suffocated. His heart was beating fast and faster. Fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, the surrounding soldiers stood beside Mr. Qian, with a hint of fear on their faces.
However, there were more expressions of relief on their faces.
Lao Zhou shook his head slightly and said seriously: "Mr. Qian, the Japanese pirates are bombing with cannons and cannot be too close to the city gate. Besides, when the Japanese pirates blast open the city gate, they will immediately launch a charge. Our soldiers must use muskets. To shoot, you must take another twenty steps back to keep a sufficient distance."
"Yes, yes, retreat immediately."
Mr. Qian took a deep breath, turned around and quickly took twenty steps back.
More than five hundred soldiers retreated in unison, aiming their guns at the city gate.
Time passed by second by second, and everyone's spirits were tense.
"Boom, boom."
Suddenly, a shocking roar came from outside the city.
Although all the soldiers stood inside the city gate and could not see the situation outside the city, they simulated the situation outside the city in their hearts. It can be imagined that two cannonballs roared out and drew a vague arc in the sky. , landed at the city gate one after another. When these soldiers imagined, the shells outside the city had already arrived at the city gate and hit the gate of Guangzhou City.
"Boom, boom,."
A loud noise was heard and the city gate began to shake.
Layers of mud fell down. If the soldiers stood inside the city gate as before, they would not only be affected by the shock of the bomb explosion, but also be covered by the mud falling from the city wall.
"The gate can still be supported, everyone continues to be on guard."
Lao Zhou is an experienced man. Seeing that the city gate was just shaking, knowing that the two shells just failed to shake the foundation of the city gate, Mr. Qian and the surrounding soldiers listened to Lao Zhou's words and relaxed. For a moment, everyone became alert again, looking eagerly at the city gate again.
They were ready to fight the Japanese pirates outside the city as soon as the city gate collapsed.
"Boom, boom."
Two cannons roared in succession, and two cannonballs landed on the city gate.
Bang-dang, bang-dang,.
The city gate kept shaking, and finally failed to escape the fate of being blown up. It fell to the ground with a bang into the city, kicking up a cloud of dust, choking the nose and dazzling the eyes. The blood-like sunlight outside the city shone down, falling on the soldiers in the city. These soldiers were covered with a layer of blood, as if they were already covered in blood.
When Lao Zhou saw the city gate collapse, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't worry, don't shoot in a hurry. When the Japanese pirates launch a charge, I order you to shoot again. When the Japanese pirates get close to the city gate, you can throw them away." Bring out the grenades."
Mr. Qian knew that Lao Zhou was a capable man and did not intervene in the command. If he could stop the Japanese pirates, all the credit would go to him, so Mr. Qian wisely stood aside to hold down the battle.
After listening to Lao Zhou's words, the soldiers tensed their nerves and waited silently.
At this moment, both sides can already see each other.
Lao Zhou listened to the shouts from outside the city with a serious look on his face. He had already tightened his grip on the gun in his hand and was ready to fight. When Tokugawa Iehong saw the gate of Guangzhou City being blown open, he also shouted at the top of his voice: " Guangzhou is right in front of us. The city gate has been blasted open. Come on, rush in together. As long as we rush into Guangzhou, we can grab countless weapons and countless beauties. This time, we are destined to be the Great Japanese Samurai. A great opportunity to take over Guangzhou.”
"Ouch, ouch..."
The soldiers brought by Tokugawa Iehiro roared and charged like wolf cubs going crazy.
More than a thousand Japanese samurai, all carrying guns, rushed towards the city gate.
Inside the city, Lao Zhou saw the Japanese pirates getting closer and closer, his heart hanging in the air. When the distance between the two sides narrowed to less than twenty feet, Lao Zhou decisively ordered: "Shoot."
"Bang, bang,,."
In an instant, all the soldiers in the city who had been prepared opened fire.
The dense bullets flew out like rain hitting banana trees, hitting the charging Japanese samurai.
"Puff, puff,,."
The bullet entered the body of the Japanese samurai and made a series of muffled sounds.
Blood splattered everywhere, and screams came one after another.
Wave after wave of Japanese samurai fell to the ground, but one person died. The following Japanese samurai were added, charging continuously, rushing to the city gate without fear of death. These samurai had guns in their hands, but when they charged But the shots were fired randomly here and there, without any accuracy. They were not soldiers trained in the army.
They rushed forward in large strides, and soon approached the city gate. They were less than 20 meters away from where Lao Zhou and others were. Tokugawa Iehong followed behind, looking at the samurai who fell on the ground, with a cold look on his face. mercy.
People who die on the battlefield have no value.
Moreover, not many people died, only more than a hundred people died, and the team had already rushed into the city. Tokugawa Iehong looked excited and shouted: "We rushed into the city, kill, fight into the city. "The Japanese samurai who rushed into the city howled and yelled and rushed towards the soldiers in the city.
Lao Zhou had a serious look on his face. He calculated that the two sides were less than ten feet away and shouted: "Throw the grenade."
"Bah, bah,."
The soldiers were already prepared, took out the grenades, pulled out the match cords and threw them out.
Hundreds of grenades flew out and landed among the crowd of Japanese samurai.
"Boom, boom,."
All the grenades exploded, immediately setting off waves of heat. Under the intensive bullet fire just now, the Japanese samurai suffered few casualties, only more than a hundred people were killed or injured. However, hundreds of grenades fell into the hands of the Japanese samurai, causing a huge impact. More than 300 people were killed and injured in an instant. Tokugawa Iehiro didn't take the samurai who was shot by bullets seriously because the number of dead was not large, but now more than 300 people were directly killed and wounded in less than ten minutes. More than four hundred people.
More than a thousand people, half of whom were killed or injured.
Such an injury made Tokugawa Iehiro's heart bleed.
"Kill and avenge the dead."
Tokugawa Iehiro roared loudly, with blazing anger in his eyes. The distance between the two sides was once again narrowed. The grenade had lost its effect. The next step was a confrontation between the two sides with cold weapons. Lao Zhou unhurriedly pulled out the hand grenade from his waist. He held his long sword and shouted: "Brothers, the time has come to serve Admiral Li. Kill him."
"kill."
The soldiers roared at the top of their lungs, their voices slightly messy, but full of indomitable momentum.
Would rather die than retreat.
A steel sword was unsheathed, and the blade showed a sense of cruelty against the setting sun. Mr. Qian also pulled out the long sword from his waist and ordered a charge.
In an instant, more than five hundred people launched a charge.
When Tokugawa Iehong saw the Manchu soldiers rushing towards him, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a look of disdain flashed across his face, and shouted: "Samurai of Great Japan, the time has come to show your strength, kill them."
"kill."
All the Japanese samurai drew their swords from their waists and rushed forward quickly.
Among them, there were about 500 soldiers led by Lao Zhou, and about 600 Japanese samurai led by Tokugawa Iehiro. The two sides rushed towards each other, and rushed together in the blink of an eye.
