This scene lasted until noon, and after the Hongtang team members who had landed on the beach had eaten and drunk enough, and recuperated their energy, they finally began their first full charge.

The first team member to climb out was naturally a melee member in heavy armor, the original bright iron armor, after a night of fighting and crawling on the ground, had long been like the beggar in the bazaar, and the place where he came into view was full of mud and blood mixed with smeared on it, and it was pitch black.

At the same time, the gunshots of the Japanese people also rang out, and in the face of the charge of the Hongtang team members, the bullets they had already bored were immediately greeted on these team members, hitting the iron armor, either pulling out a spark or bringing up a blood flower.

The defense of the iron armor did not allow the Hongtang team members to lose too much in the first round of firefighting, except for a few unlucky people who were hit by the weak point and fell to the ground, the other team members gritted their teeth, endured the dark wounds on their bodies that were hit by bullets, and rushed forward three or four feet away.

At this time, the second group of musketeers of the Japanese people were also ready, and the crackling gunfire rang out again, and several Hongtang members fell to the ground.

But fortunately, when the Hongtang team members got up and charged, they also kept in mind the teachings of the Dutch instructors, they didn't walk in a straight line, and when they encountered a suitable cover, they would suddenly hide in it, although they were dragged down by dozens of pounds of heavy iron armor on their bodies, and their skills were not as flexible as when they were at sea before, but they also dodged a lot of bullets.

And behind the charging Hongtang members, Hongtang's musketeers also let out their roars, and they have been training in the training base for more than half a year, and this is the time to test their real combat ability. Under the cover of the Hongtang team members who were charging ahead, the Hongtang musketeers quickly formed a three-column formation behind the improvised bunkers, shooting forward slowly and regularly while slowly pressing forward.

In comparison, there doesn't seem to be much difference between the musketeers on both sides in terms of tactics, and even the tactics of the Japanese people, although scattered, also have similar tactics to those of the Westerners.

The only difference is that the iron cannon of the Japanese people seems to be inferior to the arquebus in the hands of the Hongtang team members in terms of firing frequency and power.

As Hongtang's close-quarters rushed to the front row of the Japanese front, the Hongtang team members, who were less than 300 at the beginning, still had almost 200 soldiers who survived to the end.

At this time, the Japanese people in the front row had to throw away the muskets in their hands, and instead drew the Japanese knives on their waists, and fought with the Hongtang team, which gave the Hongtang musketeers a chance.

The Japanese iron cannon, which was previously regarded by the Ryukyuan people as a beast of the flood, now seems to be a bit unworthy of its name, and the Japanese people stole the iron cannon made by the Westerners, and in the end they improved too little of their own. Unlike Hongtang's side, just one gunpowder, the R&D Park has been improved countless times, from the beginning of ordinary gunpowder, to black powder, and then to fully burned granular gunpowder, a little bit of progress, but the power shown in today's battlefield is completely different.

It was only when he wore an iron armor, unless it was almost less than half a zhang away from each other, that the iron cannon of the Japanese could penetrate the defenses of the Hongtang warriors; But on the other hand, the Hongtang musketeers, the iron armor of the Japanese people, in the hands of the Hongtang musketeers, can easily cause damage within a distance of five or six zhang.

With such a gap, you can imagine what the outcome of the next battle will be.

Fortunately, they quickly noticed the scorching scene on the beach, and seeing that the momentum was not right, they organized people to build a second line of defense, and on the other hand, they did not hesitate to expose the position of the artillery position, but also to deal a heavy blow to the Hongtang landing soldiers who showed their heads at this time.

As the Japanese artillery rang out, the Hongtang warship, which had also been on fire for a long time, also launched a fierce bombardment of the opponent's exposed artillery position, but because of the lack of shells in the ship and the fact that they did not want to accidentally injure friendly troops, Hongtang's artillery fire did not bombard the battlefield on the beach like the Japanese.

In this way, the two sides launched a fierce battle on this beach less than two or three miles wide, often Hongtang's side just occupied a position for less than half an hour, and the Japanese side would soon launch a counterattack, the musket power was insufficient, and the Japanese people relied on human lives to fill in, organized a large number of Japanese and pirate stormtroopers, brandished knives and guns to block the progress of Hongtang with flesh and blood, and dragged Hongtang's team in this tidal flat.

Hisakama thought very clearly, at this time, their team could no longer afford the slightest defeat. The reason why the pirates can still hold on to this is because they still see a glimmer of hope to hold on, since everyone has fought to the point where they are now, to be honest, even if there are still people under the pirates who want to surrender at this moment, they have to worry about whether Hong Tang's side will sincerely accept their surrender.

The people who are still alive at this moment, who do not have a few lives of Hongtang warriors in their hands, on this isolated island, their escape route is blocked, and they do not have wings on their bodies, and now they are a group of trapped beasts, and they have to fight hard.

But even so, everyone's psychological defense line is on the verge of collapse, starting from the shelling that Hong Tang did not stop for a day yesterday, and now the battle against each other not giving up an inch of territory, they have always only bullied and bullied ordinary seafarers, and at most some pirates who have bullied some small colleagues, where have they experienced such a miserable and shocking battlefield.

If it weren't for the tough tactics of Kayama Hidaka, if he found a deserter, he would immediately be executed on the spot, and if he had sent down the gold and silver that had been looted from the Ryukyu Kingdom for many years, and promised a huge profit again, I am afraid that the pirates who were less than 500 people left in the Japanese army would have collapsed by the time Hongtang approached the walled city less than a mile at noon.

Until the sky darkened, there were suddenly more shadows of a few sea ships on the sea in the distance, originally they were happy because this was a sea ship coming from the southeast, and they were on this battlefield full of artillery fire.

But Na Cheng thought, this Hongtang fleet only sent one warship to check, and then Jiu took these sea ships to the side of the fleet wandering outside Amami Island, and came into contact with each other, and the face of this Japanese suddenly changed from happy to a sad face.

But what they don't know is that with the arrival of these ships, the days of tomorrow and the next two days will be even more sad than today!

The sky darkened again, Hong Tang continued to take advantage of the night to transport the team members to the island, pick up the wounded back to the ship, and the Japanese people finally had the opportunity to use the artillery in their hands, regardless of whether the artillery was accurate or not in the dark of the day, anyway, as long as the approximate estimate of the distance was about the same, he fired hard at the sea, hoping that the blind cat would meet the dead mouse and cover one or two cannons.
