Chapter Seventy-Four: Capture the Door

At night, outside Guangcheng, small flag arrows exploded into a cloud of gunsmoke.

The flanks of the Japanese who had rushed to the city gate were attacked, and in the chaos they were attacked by weapons they had never seen before, which made their hearts panic as you can imagine. Even if two or three small banner arrows were out of range, they could only inflict casualties on the pirates, which still terrified them.

Through the heavy smoke of gunpowder, Chen Mu saw the gathered Japanese robbers running away in all directions, making their formation, which was not strictly organized, even more scattered, the front running backwards, the back rushing forward, and the left flank of his own changed into a front formation, and the back formation spread out under the hoarse urging of the various small leaders, and reluctantly put out a long formation to meet the officers and soldiers.

This was beneficial to them, the formation of the banner army continued to spread out, and several hundred subordinates behind Chen Mu took the lead in the banner army and dropped the empty small flag arrow wooden box, and used the smoke to cover the sight of the enemy army in front of the formation and ran forward more than ten steps again, and the other general flag of each hundred subordinates listened to the order to move forward, and continued to give orders to the subordinate flag army.

"Little flag arrow, let's go!"

"Nail Tiger Squat!"

This salvo was even more intensive, not only did Chen Mu's four hundred households empty the remaining forty small flag arrows, but Deng Zilong's flag army also crossed the hillside, and from the high slope at the same time with small flag arrows to the Japanese outside the city gate, the screams of the rockets flew one after another between the hundred paces in the middle of the battlefield, dragging out a ray of light to burst out of gunpowder smoke beside or above the Japanese Kou, and the fine projectiles in the gunpowder smoke flew everywhere, and the screams and wails of various languages continued in the Japanese Kou array.

This was a good time to charge, and when the smoke of gunfire was still enough for them to attack in formation, the Japanese were no longer strong enough to meet the full banner army, and they had only one way to rout.

But Chen Mu did not give the order to continue to move forward, the long formation was set at a distance of nearly 100 steps from the enemy, and the flag army on the side of each hundred households used a wooden mallet to nail down the tiger squat cannon in front of the formation, and the large bamboo barrel filled with gunpowder and scattered stone shells was poured into the cannon body, and the gunpowder smoke in front of the Japanese army slowly dispersed, revealing its scattered front.

"Tiger Squatting Cannon......" Chen Mu ordered loudly, and the flag-bearer with torches next to him immediately went out to wave the flag, and the flag troops of all departments were ready to ignite the Tiger Squatting Cannon, and suddenly Chen Mu scolded and blurted out: "! ”

Almost at the same time as he gave the order, several bright lights burst out from different directions in the Japanese Bandit array, and the stone bullet slammed towards him with a sharp whistling sound, and the next moment a long card blocking in front of him was instantly pierced, and the stone bullet was almost wrapped in the body of the flag army behind the long card with a huge impact, Chen Mu only felt a chill in his left forearm, and then the arm waved by the shield hand slammed into his right shoulder, almost knocking him down, and looking back at the family with the armor on the helmet had flown out upside down.

Lined with chain mail and pierced on the outside, the soldiers who were almost armed to the teeth didn't even have time to scream, and their bodies bent into strange shapes and fell a few steps in front of the shield wall of the Hundred Households Array in the rear, and they were already out of breath.

"Furlong cannon!"

At least four Franco cannons blasted towards him in the Japanese formation, one flew over everyone's heads and didn't know where to go, one smashed into the rear phalanx, which also shattered the shield and killed people, one killed the shield hand holding Chen Mu in front of him, and the other ...... Chen Mu Yuguang saw his command flag falling forward from the side, and paused for a moment before hearing the screams of the flag bearer.

Turning around, the torches fell to the ground, and the young standard-bearer was lifting his shoulder, which had lost his right arm, and let out an inhuman cry hysterically.

The flag can't fall!

The flag can't fall!

The waist knife fell to the ground, but the long pole Lingqi that fell downward was tightly held, Chen Mu wanted to wave the Lingqi with both hands, but his left hand couldn't exert his strength no matter what, only then did he see blood oozing out of the iron arm, and the lead deformed by the bird gun was embedded in it.

When he was unconscious, he didn't know the pain, but once he became conscious, it seemed that all the pain sensation crashed into his brain, so he pressed half of his body's strength onto the flagpole, and almost did his best to shout out the interrupted order, "Tiger squat cannon - put!" ”

Long Junxiong flashed out in front of himself, and the big shield long card was smashed into the soil by him, stacked with the big shield of the family next to him, and his body was unnaturally fixed when he ran out of the shield wall, and then he ran two steps to take the command flag in Chen Mu's hand, and the flagpole still hung half of the arm left by the previous flag bearer, and the broken bones were dripping with blood.

Behind them, the tiger squatting cannons in front of the phalanx of hundreds of households lined up roared one after another, and hundreds of stone pellets and lead bullets scattered in the air, smashing on the heads of the Japanese in pieces, with a huge momentum.

Picking up the waist knife that was slanted into the soil, Chen Mu shouted: "Forward!" Bird guns step forward, salvo! ”

The order flag has not fallen, the army has not dispersed, the flag army that was suddenly bombarded was frightened, the tiger squat cannon salvo has recaptured the momentum, and the hundreds of households under the guidance of the flag each shouted orders one after another, even so the flag army is still frightened by the Japanese cannon, and the actions under the order are different, and the hundreds of bird guns can listen to the order is only thirty percent.

Fortunately, after a while, the enemy formation did not know whether the Japanese who operated the Franco cannon were injured by the tiger squat cannon or so, the smoke cleared and no shells hit again, which made the flag army slightly reinvigorate, and then the flag officer urged, the army marched forward, and the birds rang out in front of the formation.

The salvo is more lethal than the messy scattering, Chen Mubu fired a salvo for a while, and Deng Zilong, who spread out on the right flank, also fired a salvo with a bird gun, and the four hundred households under his command caused casualties to the Japanese and even far better than Chen Mubu, because Deng Deputy Qianhu rushed closer, and when Qi Qi raised his gun, he had almost approached the enemy with a semi-encircled formation of fifty paces.

Chen Mubu only hit 20% in 80 steps, and Deng Deputy Qianhu can put down a widow with 3 strokes in 50 steps.

Of course, this is not Deng Qianhu's early development of the lobster soldier's tactics of sticking to his face, it is purely a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.

Deng Zilong, who was accustomed to approaching with a fast gun, was also taken aback when the previous commander was shelled by the Japanese invaders, and hurriedly stabilized the morale of the army, and after giving the order to advance, he remembered that the four hundred households under his command had all been reequipped with four-percent bird guns, so he hurriedly ordered to stop and fire a salvo when he was close to fifty paces.

How many Japanese outside the city can fight against the Xiangshan Thousand Households?

There are more than 1,000 people who have been attacked repeatedly, and the number of people killed by artillery bombardment, rockets, and tiger squats is not much, and the total number of people is actually less than 100, but it is enough to make the chaotic and undisciplined Japanese robbers form a rout, but there is too little time left for them, so that they will not be directly defeated.

A few Francophone shelled Chen Mu to give them some momentum, but this momentum was immediately dissipated by the salvo of Chen and Deng's eight hundred banners, and it was not intuitive for the front of the battle array to be put down by a round of nearly 100 people, but the landing of dozens of torches could be felt by anyone, and it was chaotic all of a sudden.

Chen Mu's side had just ordered the bird to retreat and reload, and the spearman was in front of him to advance under the cover of the long card, but Deng Zilong's side was like a tiger descending the mountain, and he had already set up a spear formation to stab the Japanese and disperse the right flank.

Chen Qianhu hurriedly followed, and beckoned to the Shiqi Pioneer Banner Army on the far left: "Take the palm thunder and light it...... Before, the city gate hole! ”

Just when he wanted to use twenty or thirty grenades to blow up a gap under the city gate, he saw the Japanese who were in a hurry a dozen steps away and did not know whether to flee into the city or outside the city.

Chen Qianhu gave half of the order, and a lit grenade was thrown like locusts at the city gate where the Japanese were congested.
