Liu Xitian quickly ran to the 12-pounder gun, and after half a day of the battle, the two cannons were sent to the battlefield.

Liu Xitian, who was looking forward to penetration, suddenly thought of a question, can such a heavy cannon be fired on soft soil?

Those 6-pounder guns need to be leveled and compacted, not to mention the 12-pounder guns that weigh a thousand pounds.

After seeing the battle of the spear and shield soldiers in front of the battle, Liu Xitian knew that he had no time to repair any gun position. He only had one chance, and if he didn't hit the gun, he would sink into the dirt and not try to get it out for a short time.

"Brothers, follow me!" Liu Xitian led the gunners to push the artillery hard and pushed it towards the front of the formation.

At this moment, he missed the first sun cannon on the Sea Shark battleship very much, the kind of curved gun was not only lightweight, but also did not need to retreat the cannon to the front of the formation.

You only need to hide behind the military formation to easily open fire, and the shells will naturally fall on the enemy's head over the military formation.

He decided that as long as the battle was over, he would ask the marshal to equip them with the first sun cannon, and then they would not have to push the cannon as hard as they did now.

He also had to run to the front of the battle and risk being attacked by the Japanese to attack the enemy, he was an artilleryman, not a coolie on the dock.

Liu Xitian carried the wheel of the artillery with one hand and the barrel of the artillery with the other. Lean forward and push your legs the ground.

With all his strength, his muscles bulged and almost broke the clothes on his body.

"Brothers, work hard! The brothers in front are bleeding and dying, and with a little more effort, we can die one less brother. Come on! Liu Xitian shouted while pushing.

The artillerymen also used all their strength, but the huge cannon was very heavy. Despite their best efforts, the cannon naturally moved forward slowly, occasionally sinking into the ground.

"Artillery brothers! We'll help you push the cannon! A voice sounded, and Zhang Dou's personal soldier Xu Lianshan came over with his team of 100 people to help.

The strength of the people was great, and the 12-pounder gun, which weighed thousands of pounds, was finally retreated to the front of the battle.

Here, spear and shield soldiers are using their shields to block the onslaught of the Japanese again and again, and the samurai armed with Japanese swords are particularly fierce.

Most of the casualties of the spear and shield men were caused by them, and if it were not for the target of the Immortal Hammer hitting them, the casualties of the spear and shield soldiers would have been much greater.

Even so, the spear and shield soldiers had more than 200 casualties, and Liu Xitian's arrival made the spear and shield soldiers make a gap for him.

Liu Xitian personally stepped forward to aim, and after careful adjustment, he finally aimed at the artillery carriage in the distance.

Just as he shoved the red-hot iron rod into the hole of the gun, a samurai saw the muzzle of the cannon in the gap between the spear and shield soldiers.

The Japanese warriors immediately gave up on the spear and shield soldiers they were fighting, turned around and threw themselves at the artillery. Even though the spear and shield soldier left a bloody hole in his body, he still rushed to the muzzle of the cannon without hesitation.

The scorching cannonball came out of the chamber and directly tore apart the Japanese samurai in front of the muzzle. The cannonball was also slightly redirected by this crazy samurai, hitting directly at the bottom of the chariot.

The power of a 12-pounder shell was not comparable to that of a 3-pounder gun, and although it pierced a dozen Japanese men, it still shattered the bottom of the chariot.

"Click!" With a bang, the chariot toppled to one side. Shimazu Nakayoko in the car grabbed the wheel of the car so that he didn't fall, and he was also scared enough by the blow just now. As long as the angle of the artillery is a little bit higher, he will become a mess of minced meat.

"Protect the head of the house!" The samurai around the chariot swarmed in, and they carried the chariot on their shoulders and straightened the chariot that was about to topple over.

When Shimazu Nakayoko saw the bravery of his samurai on the chariot, he couldn't help but shout, "The Satsuma clan will win!" The Shimazu family will win! ”

The Japanese ashigaru also shouted, and they actually forced the Changxing army back a few steps. Just the victory of these few steps made the Japanese people ecstatic. This is the first time they have forced the Ming to retreat since the war, and with the first victory, will the second time be far away?

For a time, the ashigaru samurai of the Satsuma Domain were convinced that they would win the war, and their efforts were not unrewarded.

Zhang Dou saw that the team was forced to retreat, and his brows furrowed deeply. The musketeers needed at least a quarter of an hour's rest before they could fire again, and it was not known how many spear and shield soldiers' lives would be needed in this quarter of an hour.

Liu Xitian slapped his two mouths vigorously, and he regretted it very much. Why didn't the muzzle of the gun be raised by one degree? As long as it takes one time, it will be able to kill Shimazu Chuyoko, and make the Japanese lose the confidence to fight again.

Now not only did he fail to achieve the results of the war, but also boosted the morale of the Japanese people. If the Japanese people win, they will be the sinners of the Changxing Army.

Xu Lianshan grabbed Liu Xitian and walked back, "Brother! It's not your fault, you've done your best! ”

Liu Xitian heard Xu Lianshan's words and suddenly knelt on the ground. With tears streaming down his face, he said, "No! It was I who wasted the opportunity, and I am sorry for the brothers who died in battle! ”

At this critical moment, black smoke billowed from Kagoshima Castle. The black smoke grew larger and larger, and in a short time it swept half of the city.

There was a shout of killing from inside the city, and Shimazu Nakayoko, who was fighting outside the city, had a stunned expression on his face.

"Could it be that the Ming people have entered the city? How did they get in? Are all the people in the city rubbish? The black smoke in the city made the originally imposing Japanese people ashigaru stir, and their attack was not as resolute as just now.

The Changxing army seized the opportunity to withstand the attack of the Japanese people, and they slowly pushed the line back. At this time, the Changxing army finally waited for the fire to cool down, and they opened fire behind the spear and shield soldiers.

The spearmen and shieldmen also put away their spears and bent down to put their shields over their shoulders, making room for the musketeers behind them to shoot.

The fire of the firecrackers caused heavy casualties to the unstable Japanese soldiers. They couldn't hold on any longer and retreated.

Kagoshima Honjo is the base camp of the Shimazu family, and the foundation of the Shimazu family is here. Now the city is full of black smoke, and his heart is not on the battlefield, but has flown into the city.

Zhang Dou had been paying attention to the changes in the battle formation after the battle, and he clapped his hands and laughed excitedly when he saw the black smoke rising in the city.

The opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come, and as long as he could seize this opportunity, he would definitely be able to break through the Japanese battle array.

He lowered his armor and swung his mace in the air.

"Brothers of the Changxing Army! The opportunity to make a contribution is coming, as long as you break the Japanese people in front of you, everyone will have a large amount of land, everyone will get a large amount of gold and silver, victory or defeat in one move, with the commander to break the formation and kill the enemy! His shouts spread throughout the Changxing Army, and the soldiers shouted loudly.

They don't know what the truth is to protect their families and defend the country, and the motivation for them to join the Changxing Army is to eat meat and pay a lot of money for every meal.

Now as long as this battle is won, a large amount of land will be in hand, and the soldiers are rushing forward with red eyes.

Zhang Dou led more than 1,000 cavalry to rush to the front, and he swung his mace to continuously smash the enemy in front of him.

In front of a burning house in the city, Ma Jingbo laughed and said, "Brother Tao! This is big! It's a big one! He said, despite the pain in his leg, pointing to the front.
