Fortunately, the secondary firing speed of the arquebus was simply outrageously slow, and when the woman of the iron artillery team was still cleaning the chamber of the gun, pouring gunpowder and stuffing lead bullets into it, the guard team took out the second fixed lead bullet and quickly loaded it, aimed at the other party and pulled the trigger again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At this time, the iron artillery team did not have time to insert the rifle into the chamber and tamp the projectile.

Flintlock pistols, buckshot shots, and thousands of drills showed the advantage at this moment, and after withstanding the first round of fire, the guards began to pour fire on each other in a one-sided manner.

Step by step, step by step, only the "bang, bang" gunfire was heard, and the female gunners of the iron artillery team never had a chance to fire a second shot, one by one fell under the muzzle, and the formation gradually thinned.

The samurai on the other side, after paying a heavy price, finally rushed into the array and raised the katana in his hand high.

However, the expected massacre did not materialize, and the guards soldiers raised their rifles and began to resist with bayonets.

The ferocious Japanese samurai were clearly much stronger than the Ming soldiers, and they did not care that their numbers were already far less than the total number of the opposing side, and they shouted and started a melee with the guards.

Surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers, Xia Nan calmly observed the battle. These samurai of the Satsuma clan can be regarded as the strongest opponents in hand-to-hand combat that the Qiongzhou battalion has encountered since the formation of the army, and they are more difficult to deal with than the native soldiers of Huang Mengjia - although the native soldiers of the Foot Cutting Pass are brave, they are also afraid in the face of death, and these samurai seem to care about their lives at all, only to kill their opponents.

Under the onslaught of these samurai, the soldiers of the guard on this side also suffered casualties. One inch short and one inch dangerous, after the katana is close, it has a more flexible advantage in the face of a rifle and bayonet close to 1.9 meters, and several soldiers were injured in just one shot.

After the offensive of the iron artillery team weakened, Yang Yuji ordered twenty soldiers to continue shooting, allowing the reserve team in the middle to join the battle on the samurai's side, and the situation that had been stalemate was reversed. No matter how fierce the samurai were, they were stabbed to death one by one because of their limited numbers.

An ambush came and seemed to go quickly, and it looked like it was about to be suppressed by the guards. Lin Weiye, Sima De and others, who were following Xia Nan, also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was no danger.

Just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, several figures appeared on the roofs of the houses facing the street, quietly came to the location of Xia Nan and the others, and then jumped up at the same time, and threw themselves at them, the katana in their hands drew a palpitating arc.

Yang Youji was the first to react and shouted: "Protect the general!" ”

The soldiers of the guard who originally dealt with the samurai of the Satsuma Domain encountered this change, and they were a little confused for a while, and they were still fighting with the other party's samurai when they reacted slowly, and those who reacted quickly broke away from the battle and moved closer to the south side of the summer, but the distance of more than a dozen steps seemed so far away between the lightning and flint.

Fortunately, Yang Youji left more than a dozen soldiers to guard Yang Youji's side, and hurriedly raised his rifle to block, "dangdang" a few times, this condescending blow made several soldiers' rifles be cut off, but it also blocked the fatal attack towards Xia Nan.

After a few people fell from the sky and landed, Xia Nan saw the true faces of several people, and the first one was the eldest lady of the Shimazu family who kept saying that she wanted to take revenge on her - Shimazu Chiyo, and around her were several samurai with angry faces, who seemed to be dead soldiers who specialized in assassinating themselves.

Shimazu Chiyo didn't give Natsu Minami more time to react, and when he didn't succeed in one move, he immediately pounced and launched a second attack. She is athletic, and the momentum of her pounce is like that of a leopard attacking its prey, with both speed and strength, and her sword skills are simple and clumsy, ordinary soldiers are no match for her at all, and two or three people can only be blocked by combining them. Under her leadership, the attack of a few dead soldiers made the opponent who was superior in numbers unable to hold back, and one after another soldiers were wounded and fell.

The few remaining samurai of the Satsuma Domain saw that the main general attacked, and with the help of the cover of the building, they directly entered the core area of the opponent, and had the momentum of directly seeking the enemy's general, and their morale was high for a while, and they were afraid of death to start a knife fight with the soldiers of the guard, trying to distract the enemy's attention and buy time for the main general.

Although Xia Nan's side occupies a certain advantage in numbers, the other party's strategy makes them difficult to take care of, and to ensure Xia Nan's safety, they are a little constrained for a while.

Seeing the tense situation, Sima De, Liu Quan and the others began to tremble, this was the first time that these civilian personnel had faced such a close threat. Sima De's voice trembled a little and said: "General, it is very unwise to fight, it is better to choose one side to break through, so as not to let these Japanese people hurt the general's golden body......"

Xia Nan observed the left and right sides, one side is the dwellings, the other side is the sea, there is no way out, it seems that the other party has spent a lot of effort to choose this place, only in this narrow place can he block his own more than 100 people with a relatively small number of people. He looked in the front and back directions, on one side was the mad tiger Chiyo Shimazu and a few dead soldiers, and in the distance were the samurai of the Satsuma Domain, who had beaten chicken blood; On the other side is the women's iron artillery team that is about to be crippled, which seems to be a relatively weak direction at the moment, at least easier to deal with than the Satsuma feudal female madman.

He said loudly to Yang Youji: "Concentrate your forces and charge the enemy's musketeers, and then go all out to deal with this side!" ”

When Yang Youji heard this, he commanded the soldiers who were still firing at the remnants of the iron artillery team to stop firing and charge directly with bayonets, while the rest of the men retreated while fighting, and followed in this direction.

After a few rounds of fire, the women's iron artillery team, which had a far inferior rate of fire to the opponent, suffered heavy casualties, but it was struggling to persevere with willpower. When the other side launched a bayonet charge, the iron artillery members who had no melee ability had no power to fight back, and they were defeated in one charge, and all of them died under the bayonets.

The threat from this side was completely resolved, and the guards were able to deal with the close attacks of the samurai with all their might. The soldiers who had disengaged from the Satsuma samurai of the Satsuma clan passed by Shimazu Chiyo and others, and instead of besieging them, they quickly approached Natsu Minami - for them, protecting Natsu Minami's safety came first, and this duty was more important than the merit of killing any enemy, a philosophy that Yang Yuki had repeatedly instilled in them since the establishment of the Guard.

As a result, Chiyo Shimazu, who was originally in the middle, not only failed to continue to get close to Summer South, but was separated by more and more soldiers, and became farther and farther away from Summer South.
