Chapter Twenty-Five: Are the Kuroda Family Stupid?
In the era of cold weapons, an extra distance of about ten steps may not be much for other troops, but for the iron artillery team of the Shimazu family, if they can rely on such a distance advantage to attack before the Kuroda family, as long as they can cause relatively large casualties to the Kuroda family's iron artillery team, it will definitely be able to hit the morale of the Kuroda family's army very well, which is what Kirihi wants for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If the Shimazu family is lucky enough to suppress the Kuroda family's long-range team, as long as the opponent's morale is low to a certain extent, no matter how many people the Kuroda family's iron artillery team is, it is estimated that it will collapse!
After Kiriki Jiu strengthened his determination, he looked seriously at the direction of the Kuroda family's attack, and even listened to the continuous shouting of killing him in his rear, his hands were clenched tightly, and cold sweat flowed from his head.
However, the Kuroda family stopped when they were seventy paces away from them, and it seemed that they were ready to shoot. This is not scientific, can the range of the iron cannon reach seventy paces, or is it that the people of the Kuroda family are stupid?
"All the soldiers, shoot freely at the dense forest on both sides of Mt. Takachiho." With Wang Erzhu's order, the Kuroda family's 800-person fire team quickly divided into neat eight horizontal rows and began to shoot in turns.
A second later, when the Kuroda family's iron cannon began to shoot, Kiririki Ji Jiu realized that he was wrong, it turned out that the Kuroda family's soldiers were not stupid, but their iron cannon could really reach a range of seventy steps, because more than ten of their men had fallen, and this was the best proof.
The Kuroda family's improved firecrackers have a maximum attack range of 120 paces and an effective range of 80 paces, and if it weren't for the unfavorable terrain facing the hillside here, and in order to ensure maximum lethality, the Kuroda family's firecracker team would not have advanced to a position like 70 paces.
At this time, the Kuroda family was still a fire team of 800 people, and when they attacked the inner castle before, they killed and injured dozens of people in front of the Ninomaru gate.
However, the three thousand elites sent by the Kuroda family are all skilled in firecrackers, and all of them are existences that can become firecrackers. It's just that 800 of them are the main force and 800 are substitutes.
Therefore, as long as it is not for this team of 3,000 people, the number of people has been sharply reduced to less than 800 people in one go, and under the guarantee of logistics, the Kuroda family can always ensure the number of 800 people in the fire team, and continue to pose a long-range threat to the enemy.
This time, they still used a tactic similar to the three-stage attack, but it was divided into more battle sequences, and the first round of attacks of a hundred people directly reduced the Shimazu family's iron artillery team by more than ten people.
You must know that the soldiers of the Shimazu family who are ambushed on both wings are all hiding in the dense forest, which can be said to be an absolute situation of the enemy and the enemy. It was not easy for the Kuroda family soldiers to be able to kill more than a dozen people through their long-term accumulated combat experience under the situation of seemingly random attacks.
When the second round of shooting began, Ji Jiu only reacted from the shock just now.
At this time, the situation was already very dangerous for the Shimazu family, and Kiiri Jijiu also knew that this was not a good time to be in a daze, so he immediately ordered a counterattack on the Kuroda family, in order to be able to resist the Kuroda family's attack. At least until Shimazu Yoshihisa makes up his mind, he must protect his comrades behind him.
It's just that in a hurry, Kiririki Jijiu instructed to order a counterattack, but he himself ignored a very important point, that is, all the soldiers of the Kuroda family were out of their range.
In the case of not reaching the enemy, no matter how powerful the iron cannon was, their counterattack was still thunder and rain, and they did not cause any damage to the Kuroda family, and they lost more than ten people again.
Now the Ashigaru of the Shimazu family's iron artillery team can't stand it, they don't know why they are also using the iron cannon, their side has a distance bonus, and they have the advantage of woodland terrain, and the range will still not be able to catch up with the Kuroda family's iron cannon, and they can't pose any threat to the Kuroda family.
However, these are not what they should care about as soldiers, they only know that if this continues, even if their side is all dead, it is impossible to hurt the fur of the Kuroda family, this is a one-sided crushing, and it is they who are crushed.
No matter how strong their willpower is, they can't stand the current situation, and people have the possibility of collapse in the face of threats, even if they are strong.
So in the team of the Shimazu family who were ambushed in the dense forest, there was immediately a retreating Ashigaru, one and two, and people's learning ability is very strong, especially in the face of big events, the herd effect will be stronger. As soon as someone escaped, imitators immediately appeared, and in the end, Kiiku was forced to evacuate backwards with his men and horses.
Kiriki knew that his actions were already moving in the worst direction, but he definitely couldn't allow the current rush to disperse. After a short period of thought, he personally led more than a dozen of his own relatives who dared to fight, and stood at the back of the entire team with iron cannons. Continue to guard the original position and shoot at the Kuroda family.
"Lord Wang, the offensive of the Shimazu family in front seems to have descended, are they no longer able to withstand it and are ready to retreat." A hundred-man captain of the Torch Team came to report.
In fact, for an experienced firecracker like Wang Erzhu, he can see six ways and listen to all directions on the battlefield, so the sharp reduction in the strength of the Shimazu family's counterattack in front of him does not need to be reported by others, he has already noticed it.
Before coming to attack this time, Shigeharu Takenaka deliberately found Wang Erzhu, and a Ming State firecracker who was proficient in the Japanese dialect passed the message, telling him that the opponent he faced this time was very cunning, although the first task now was to rescue the two teams of Namba Muntaka and Ueki Hidecho who were besieged in front, but they also required stability, and they could not be greedy for merit, and they must advance cautiously until they rescued their partners and repelled the opponent's attack.
So Wang Erzhu thought about it for a while, and then said: "This time we want to save people, but at the same time we also require stability, this is the requirement of the military division, since this is the case, you take a team of 100 people up first, as long as you figure out the situation, report immediately." ”
"No."
At this time, Shimazu Yoshihisa's herald finally came over, and the order he brought to Kiririhisa was to let him take his own camera, and not to be rigid.
Kiririki knew what Shimazu Yoshihisa meant, and immediately asked this herald to report first, telling Shimazu Yoshihisa that the Kuroda family attacking in front of him had fierce firepower, and his own men and horses were about to be defeated.
