Chapter 911: Handcuffs
On July 15, Li Dingguo was lying on the side of a river valley, looking at the entrance of the river valley in the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Dingguo was surrounded by countless soldiers of the Yizi Battalion. One by one, these soldiers were ready to charge at the enemy.
If you can distinguish the camouflage of these soldiers, and look down from the air, you will find that these soldiers are actually a pocket array.
The entire pocket array surrounded the valley at the foot of the mountain, and there were no soldiers only a few hundred meters from the entrance to the valley.
Liu Wenxiu, the deputy commander of the Yizi Battalion, lay on Li Dingguo's side and said, "Dashuai... No... Commander, will the Japanese be fooled? ”
Li Dingguo pondered for a moment and replied, "The plan will be successful!" ”
"I put 10,000 strong soldiers in the first 20 miles to be defeated, and I placed a thousand carts of baggage in the middle, so that the defeated soldiers could pass through the baggage and ignore it. Don't say that you are Japanese, even General Cao, who has experienced a hundred battles, is here, and he will be fooled by me. ”
When Liu Wenxiu heard Li Dingguo's words, he licked his lips excitedly, lowered his voice and said, "Okay!" Commander, count your scheming! Today we are here to serve the samurai of Japan! ”
Liu Wenxiu said: "We have served the samurai in a pot, how will the king reward us?" ”
Li Dingguo thought for a while and said, "The king will probably equip us with rifles." ”
The Yizi battalion still does not have rifles. Although each man has two short guns, the soldiers of the Yizi battalion are still very envious when they see the rifles of the Tiger Army. After all, it is a weapon with a range of several hundred meters, and it is not comparable to a handcuff that can only hit 20 or 30 meters.
If you get the rifle, the Yizi battalion will officially become an official army under Li Zhi. For the soldiers of the Yizi Battalion who were born as thieves, that is the most valuable thing.
When Liu Wenxiu heard Li Dingguo's words, he became excited and shouted loudly: "Fight, beat these Japanese to death." ”
Li Dingguo saw Liu Wenxiu speaking loudly, and frowned at Liu Wenxiu.
Liu Wenxiu knew that he was talking too loudly and might expose the situation in the ambush circle to the Japanese sentinel, so he quickly stopped talking. He slapped himself and said in a low voice, "Commander, I'm going to the front to command the team blocking the entrance." ”
Li Dingguo waved his hand and let him go.
Liu Wenxiu drilled all the way under the big tree, ran to the front of the river valley, and found the 5,000 road-blocking warriors under his command.
With unprecedented advanced equipment in their hands, the 5,000 soldiers were very excited, and they did not have the slightest fear of war.
Liu Wenxiu smiled and lay down behind a big rock.
After a quarter of an hour, there was a rush of footsteps ahead.
By the small river in the middle of the river valley, 10,000 "routed soldiers" rushed into the narrow river valley. Those routs don't know if they were really defeated by the samurai or if they acted realistically, in short, they were very embarrassed. The flag has long been thrown, and some people have even thrown away their forging knives and only run wildly.
Behind the rout, ecstatic samurai armed with katana swords chased frantically.
The rout, with their pursuers, entered the valley.
The general commander of the Japanese is the famous 80-year-old Shinyuki Sanada. Although this old man is famous in Japan, he is obviously too old to run, and it is impossible to follow the large army to chase down the Yizi battalion. In fact, the Japanese samurai pursuers are now in a leaderless situation, only seeing the opportunity in front of them, but they are ignorant of the danger in the river valley.
Liu Wenxiu looked at the samurai who rushed into the Wuli Long River Valley, estimating the number of Japanese.
"Ten thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!"
"Eight thieves, 35,000 people, today is to catch a big fish!"
After all the samurai rushed into the valley, a flare suddenly rose from Li Dingguo's place in front.
Then there was a "snap" of a gunshot.
The sound of gunfire echoed back and forth through the valley, startling the samurai's faces white.
There is an ambush?
But it's too late to think about it at this point.
On the hills on both sides of the river valley, the 50,000 Yizi battalion rushed out from behind the rocks and trees. These bandit-turned-soldiers, dressed in fine armor and armed with two handguns, rushed down the mountain to the 35,000 samurai below the mountain.
The 10,000 people who "fled in embarrassment" in front also blocked the exit of the river valley. They formed a dense phalanx and stood on a gentle slope.
The samurai only knew that they had been ambushed at this time, and they turned their heads to look at the way they came, only to see that the entrance to the river valley had also been sealed by the Yizi camp.
There is no way back.
The samurai's eyes turned blood-red in an instant, and they slashed at the Ming soldiers who rushed over with their katanas.
However, the soldiers of the Yizi battalion did not play white-knuckle combat with them at all.
"Bang bang bang!"
In the flash of fire, the soldiers of the Yoshiji Battalion raised their handcuffs and opened fire on the samurai.
The handgun produced by Li Zhi is a short-barreled front-loading rifled gun, and after several improvements, the current handcuff is fired with mercury thunderate primer. Before use, put the propellant and bullet into the handcuff, load the primer on the fire door, and then plug the bullet with a cloud of waste newspaper to enter the ready-to-shoot state.
This state of waiting for firing can be maintained for a long time, and if there are no major bumps, the handcuff with a good bullet can be fired at any time within a day.
With a shot of the handcuff, the samurai in the valley fell like a toppled mahjong tile.
The soldiers of the Yizi battalion relied on the fine armor on their bodies, and often bullied the samurai more than 20 meters away before shooting. The hit percentage at such a short distance is impressive. The samurai had never seen handcuffs, and the soldiers of the Yizi battalion rushed up to shoot, and did not dodge, but drew their swords one by one to meet them, so the casualties were even greater.
After shooting a handcuff, the soldiers of the Yizi battalion threw the handcuff to the ground, and then handed the handcuff in their left hand to their right hand, and fired fiercely at the enemy more than ten meters away.
The samurai screamed and convulsed, and fell under the muzzles of the muskets one by one.
After the soldiers in front had finished firing two shots, they drew their forged knives and stood guard on the hillside. The soldiers of the Yoshiji Battalion in the back grabbed two handcuffs and rushed forward, passed the soldiers in front, and continued to charge and shoot at the samurai's abdomen.
In the small valley, the sparks of handcuff fire were everywhere, and the crackling sound of gunfire dominated the battlefield.
Some of the samurai had bows and arrows in their hands, but the soldiers of the Yoshiji battalion wore fine chain mail. In fact, there is a layer of leather armor underneath these chain mail, which is very thick overall. Bows and arrows don't work well on such armor, at most they can pierce the muscles, but they can't kill the soldiers of the Righteous Word Battalion.
The damage caused by the handcuffs is straightforward, one shot at a time.
The brave Japanese samurai could only rush forward with their katanas, most of them were killed by handcuffs before they could rush up, and a few rushed to the front row and slashed with the soldiers of the Yoshiji battalion. But even in white-knuckle combat, there was still a distance between the two warring sides, and the soldiers of the Yizi battalion who rushed behind often killed the Japanese samurai in white-knuckle combat with a single shot.
The samurai's ornate "Possession of the World" can defend against bows and arrows, but it has no effect on the opponent's guns.
40,000 or 50,000 men raised their handcuffs and attacked 35,000 Japanese samurai, causing astonishing casualties.
I don't know how many people were killed, but the Japanese samurai finally understood that they were no match for the hot weapons here.
Under the shouts of several middle-aged generals, the Japanese samurai who were still alive concentrated their forces on the hill east of the river valley to kill.
The Japanese samurai, who only had about 20,000 men left, found that the eastern hill was the weakest place for the Yoshiji battalion, and rushed to the top of the hill.
Liu Wenxiu saw the Japanese rushing up the hill and laughed: "The Japanese have been tricked again, and the mountain is a cage specially designed for them by the commander." ”
