Seeing the appearance of thousands of soldiers of the Raiders in uniform gray and green uniforms, the Samurai of the Tsubato, who was about to rush to the flagship, looked at the Raiders vigilantly, holding arquebuses and katanas in front of each other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Rosen walked over to a soldier in his fifties, whose epaulettes of his military uniform were embroidered with the rank of colonel with two bars and three stars, apparently a regimental commander.

"Captain Chen, it seems that we have come at the right time. Now that it's up to you to command, do you capture the cruiser Saskehana now, or do you wait for the results to come to an end?" Rosen politely said to the confidant of Rosen.

The head of the regiment surnamed Chen was Chen Dingao, the original chief soldier of Kinmen Town, the Manchu Fujian Water Division, although he was old, his face was resolute, his skin was dark and red, and his burly figure really responded to the old saying that he should be strong and strong.

At the beginning, because Xiamen City was captured, Chen Dingao's family fell into the hands of the captive army. In addition, seeing that the Manchu court was defeated, not only was the city invaded by the captive army of the Holy Kingdom, but even Jinling City was occupied by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so he surrendered to Luo Xuan. Originally, he wanted to retire to his hometown in Xiamen and enjoy his old age in peace, but Luo Jian saw that he was well versed in the methods of water warfare and was in good health, so he invited him to serve as the deputy chief of staff of the Fifth Division of the First Division, which had been vacant.

Chen Dingao is also grateful in his heart. Although the people commanded by the regiment commander were not as many as the previous general soldiers in Kinmen Town, he was only a general, and he was already very grateful to be valued by the Luo outline. In the past, he could only drive away some pirates and thieves for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but now he can cross the sea to fight the original, and he can also capture foreigners, and he feels the glory of the Han people for the first time.

"Stationmaster Luo, wait a little longer. Anyway, Master Luo led the brothers to surround them outside, and they couldn't escape. Chen Dingao wanted to take down the cruiser "Saskehana" at the lowest cost.

According to the plan, it was originally to take down the "Mississippi" docked in the port, and then use the "Mississippi" as a springboard to take down other warships.

Now the "Mississippi" has left the dock and is drifting more than 100 meters away from the mouth of the river, the sail mast on board is broken, and the ropes are scattered everywhere; it is obvious that the American soldiers wanted to escape with the flagship, but they were surrounded by the samurai on the official boat, and they went on board to cut off the mast ropes, causing the "Mississippi" to float on the water in an unmanned state.

Chen Dingao planned to capture the "Saskehana" first, and then drive the captured cruiser to get close to the flagship "Mississippi", and then capture the "Mississippi" in close combat. This made it possible to get the two large cruisers in their hands almost unscathed.

In fact, as early as in the plan, the staff of the 5th Division regarded these two large cruisers as forbidden and were reluctant to damage them.

However, Chen Dingao looked at those warriors and frowned.

It may be that there has been an explanation from above, these black-clothed warriors did not kill them, but they seem to be very vigilant against the captive army, and they look vigilant.

At this moment, the cruiser "Saskehana" came the cheers of himself.

"Commander Chen, the American soldiers on the cruiser Suskehana have been completely defeated by Yu himself, and they have already captured the ship. Are we ......?" Rosen translated, based on the cheers of the Japanese.

"So what are you waiting for? Wait for them to drive the warship away? Chen Dingao shouted at the soldiers of the capture army behind him: "The first battalion and the second battalion, rush up with Ben Lao Chen and grab the warship!" Brothers of the third battalion and the regimental headquarters, hold your position and block myself! ”

After roaring, holding a wolf-headed machete, he rushed majestically towards the warship.

A group of samurai stopped them, screaming and waving their katana in their hands.

"Captain Chen, these gangs are saying that if we take one step forward, we will be killed." Rosen followed, translating.

"In that case, let's kill the descendants of these pirates first! Whoever stands in the way of our occupation of the warship today will die! Chen Dingao directly ordered the soldiers of the captive army beside him: "Prepare to shoot!" Aim, put! ”

Suddenly, more than 700 captives and nearly 300 flintlock smoothbore guns were neatly pressed and shot intensively. The samurai who was blocking the way from the sampan on the side of the pier was immediately shot into a sieve, and his whole body was bloodied, and he fell to the ground and rolled and cried.

The rest of the four or five hundred warriors were stunned, they didn't expect that in their territory, these "Qing people" would kill people so unscrupulously.

One person is estimated to be a daimyo of a feudal domain, and he has a very high status among the samurai, and all the samurai guard him in the middle. Seeing that the man waved the katana in his hand and shouted, all the samurai became furious, gathered together, and rushed towards the captive army.

"Kill!" Chen Dingao's order was only one word crisp and neat.

"Bang bang,.... bang bang!" Dense gunfire continued to sound, and the Samurai who rushed over kept falling, and they were also not afraid of death, and they continued to rush forward from stepping on the body of the fallen person.

70 meters.

60 meters, 50 meters!

When they rushed to 40 meters, another round of intensive gunfire rang out. Nearly 100 people who rushed to the front were shot and fell to the ground.

At this time, the arquebus in the hands of the samurai finally began to ignite and fire.

The soldiers of the captives also began to suffer casualties.

The remaining 200 samurai, seeing that they were about to rush to him, howled like wild beasts and sped up their speed, swinging their swords and slashing at them.

Behind them, some soldiers from a distance also howled and rushed towards the warship.

Seeing this, more than 500 officers and men of the regimental headquarters and the third battalion guarded the junction leading to the dock and lined up in three columns. The first column is a spearman with a card knife spear, and the second and third columns are musketeers.

For a while, the gunfire was loud, shouting and killing, and the two sides were inseparable, even more fierce than the flagship on the water!

At the edge of the dock, the Samurai of Saymoto, who had less than 200 people left, finally rushed close to the captive army.

Chen Dingao shouted violently: "The sword spearmen are out of the ranks, follow Lao Chen to kill the thief!" After speaking, three hundred musketeers flashed to the side, and four hundred soldiers of the captive army armed with swords and spears came out from behind, and the spears in their hands were pushed forward, and they were stabbing and killing the samurai who wielded the katana.

Listening to the sound of iron sashimi entering the flesh, the Samurai in the front was killed on the spot by the long hair hole, and the Samurai in the back hit his companion in front of him again, and immediately fell to the ground.

The spearmen couldn't pull out their spears for a while, so they simply gave up, retreated to the back, and gave up their position to the musketeers who were loaded with ammunition behind them.

At this time, these more than 100 samurai finally exerted their martial arts, and the katana in their hands slashed over, injuring many soldiers of the captive army, and even Chen Dingao's shoulder was cut bloody.

However, it is just a death throes!

More than 200 swordsmen immediately counterattacked, and under the command of the two company commanders, the swordsmen slashed out in unison and neatly, slashing the row of samurai who arrived in front of them to the ground like chopping vegetables. Then, taking a step forward, it was a simple and neat and powerful slash.

Although the soldiers of the captive army are not as strong as the warriors of this book, they should focus on unified attacks, and when they are combined, they are unstoppable.

After several consecutive slashes, the Samurai who rushed over finally collapsed.

When the daimyo finally realized that there was almost no one around, he wanted to run back when he saw that the situation was not good, but unfortunately he was shot in the back by a company commander, and he threw himself forward with a miserable howl.

The rest of the samurai were also shot dead by more than 30 people, and only 20 ran back to the warship along the sampan. And the soldiers of the capture army also killed and wounded dozens of people.

Chen Dingao touched the blood stains on his face, and let people take care of the soldiers who were killed and injured in the battle, and then sighed: "This world is indeed the world of foreign guns!" Brothers, reload the bullets, follow me to the warship, occupy the ship! ”

Some of the soldiers of the captured army had already stepped forward, rushed to the warship, and held the sampan.

Chen Dingao led more than 600 officers and men to rush to the cruiser "Saskehana", and found that the deck was full of fallen corpses, and there were several undead warriors and American soldiers wailing, but the injuries were too serious to be helped, so he ordered someone to mend them a few knives to save them pain.

The cruiser had two gun decks. The soldiers of the captives drilled into the first gun deck through the middle hole in the surface deck, and found dozens of samurai holding katanas, howling and rushing towards them.

When the soldiers raised their hands, hundreds of bullets were fired, and the samurai who rushed over were immediately sifted into holes. Immediately afterwards, several Samurai on the second deck came up with a probe and were slashed to the ground by the swordsmen.

The rest did not come out, but guarded the upper and lower hatches. Seeing this, Chen Dingao, who was experienced in combat, ordered people to carry a few corpses and throw them down from the hatch, and sure enough, they were hit by more than a dozen muskets and several katanas. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the captives rushed into the hatch, raised their hands and fired a volley of guns to shoot the Samurai who was guarding behind the hatch.

Soon, more than 80 samurai on the third gun deck were shot and killed, and the remaining 10 or so jumped into the water through the wooden windows of the gun doors, and nearly 40 were captured.

The cruiser "Saskehana" finally fell into the hands of the 5th Division of the First Division!
