Zhai Kuan held the musket in his hand tightly, staring at the chaotic battle under the city wall without squinting, only to see that those tall and fierce Kunlun slaves were all like evil ghosts, killing those short widows into an army, screams, moans, and the impact of weapons resounded.

Zhai Kuan has not killed people, he killed a lot of people when he was in the slave hunting team, and when he joined the musket team for training, in order to increase their actual combat experience, General Liu once asked people to buy some slaves from various countries to fight with them, including face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, and also shot with muskets, I thought that he would no longer feel uncomfortable for killing, but seeing this bloody scene under the city, it still made him, including the musket brothers around him, a little dizzy.

Zhai Kuan is only twenty years old this year, originally an ordinary fisherman outside Dengzhou City, at the age of eighteen, he entered the slave hunting team of the Qi Palace, and later because of his excellent performance, he was selected into the musket team and transported to Perak Island for secret training, he lived almost isolated in the past two years, although he could communicate with his family, but all letters had to go through several checks before they could be delivered to his family.

Although this kind of life is very unfree, Zhai Kuan did not complain about the price, because every member of their musket team was paid handsomely, and their families also enjoyed the convenience and care given by various palaces, and if they unfortunately died in battle, the family could not only get a large amount of compensation, but also get better care, so Zhai Kuan not only did not complain, but even sold his life to His Royal Highness King Qi, and they also knew that as long as they performed well enough, Then they will get better pay in the future and their families will have a better life. and even become the envy of others.

It is precisely with the idea of surrendering to the ground, Zhai Kuan has been training hard in the past two years. During the day, they are trained in physical fitness and marksmanship, and at night they learn to write and arithmetic. Later, he learned the method of marching and fighting, and now he is not only coarse in writing and ink, but also has some of his own experience in tactical command, if he enters the ordinary army, he can still be a low-level officer, but if it is not necessary, he does not want to leave the musket team, after all, his current treatment is much better than that of an officer in an ordinary army.

As a new-style soldier with a good military education, Zhai Kuan has already discovered it. Although the Kunlun slave soldiers under the city are still brave, but the sharpness has been lost, and now they have fallen into the entanglement with the Japanese army, and although the losses of the Japanese are very large, but these Japanese are very tenacious, wielding inferior weapons and rushing forward endlessly, if this continues, then the Kunlun Nu army with a small number of people is likely to be worn to death by several times the enemy.

However, Zhai Kuan is not in a hurry about this. Because he had already seen that the tiger general below led the old and spicy troops, and led his Kunlun slaves to fight and retreat, and had already led the Japanese people into the range of them and the archers. The generals at all levels in the city have made all their soldiers ready to deal a fatal blow to the Yu people at any time.

"Put!"

With General Xue Rengui's order, the archers who had been preparing for a long time let go. Rounds of bows and arrows were shot at the rear of the Japanese people, under the overwhelming blows of these bows and arrows. The endless stream of Japanese people just now was immediately shot and killed, and the Japanese people who were outside the range of bows and arrows no longer dared to step forward. The Japanese who attacked Kunlun Nu saw that the rear was attacked, and the offensive couldn't help but stagnate.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the enemy to support a temporary gap, Hu Li once again took Kunlun Nu to counterattack, killing nearly 10,000 Japanese people in front of him is a river of blood, countless Japanese people were frightened, and immediately turned around and fled, but the archers at the head of the city were not polite at all, and did not stop their arrows to these fleeing Japanese people, so that many people fell on the way.

And after killing the enemy army in front of them, Hu Li and his Kunlun Nu immediately retreated to the city, after all, the strategic goal they started has been achieved, after the previous battle, the enemy's morale has been defeated, and they no longer need to stay outside the city to take risks, not to mention that although Kunlun Nu is brave, but it is not without casualties, it can even be said that everyone is injured, and it is wise to retreat in time.

Su I into the rear, when he saw the first round of attacks, he was repulsed, and the arrows on the city were raining down, and many soldiers were wounded, which made his heart burn, and he ordered the shield soldiers behind him to be in front, and the other soldiers to be behind, and slowly stepped forward against the rain of arrows at the head of the city.

This trick really worked, and although the rain of arrows on the city was dense, most of them were blocked by shields, and even if they hit the enemy through the gaps in the shields, they were rarely fatal. At the same time, the Japanese archers also hid behind these shield bearers, and when they reached the firing range, they began to shoot at the archers on the city, and for a time there were some casualties on both sides.

Seeing that the Japanese were about to attack the city, many Japanese people carried ladders and pushed siege weapons such as ramming vehicles, and had already reached the bottom of the city wall, and were about to start attacking the city, and the Tang army at the head of the city was also ready, rolling wood and thunder stones on the city wall, ready to give a heavy blow to the Japanese people in the city.

But at this moment, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded on the head of the city, and at the same time bursts of black smoke rose up, but it was quickly blown away by the wind at the head of the city, and with this burst of very rhythmic sound, the Japanese people holding the shield below were screaming again and again, and the solid shields were like rags, and all the holes were beaten, and as for the Japanese people below, they were killed and injured countless times.

Zhai Kuan held a heavy musket in his hand, aimed at a shield and immediately fired, with a crisp gunshot, the hot projectile flew out like lightning, and then pierced the shield and the body of the widow behind the shield. Then Zhai Kuan quickly retreated, gave up his position to the brother in the back, and went to the back to clean the barrel himself, then loaded, compacted, and stepped forward to shoot again.

The 1,000-pistol squad is divided into three platoons, except for one commander, each platoon of 333 people, the first platoon fires, the second platoon prepares, the third platoon loads, and then rotates in turn, the three platoons of non-commissioned officers are like an incomparably sophisticated machine, running very smoothly, occasionally a few people have an accident when loading, resulting in the inability to synchronize with others, they will also withdraw immediately, and then return to their positions after solving the malfunction, the whole unit will not be suspended because of a single person.

The range of the musket in Zhai Kuan's hand is actually about the same as that of an ordinary bow and arrow, and even closer than some strong bows, but the musket has two incomparable advantages over the bow and arrow, the first is that it is strong in penetration, and it is difficult for ordinary armor to block the shot of bullets, let alone shields made of wood and bamboo. The second is that the musket can shoot continuously and non-stop, and not like the archers, after a few rounds of fire, you have to take a break, otherwise the fingers and arms will not be able to stand it.

It was precisely by virtue of these two advantages that the musket team of only 1,000 people at the head of the city exerted a strong combat effectiveness, and the Japanese shield bearers below fell one after another, and the Japanese hidden under the shields were exposed one after another, and the result was either shot by the muskets or shot to death by the archers who woke up at the head of the city.

Xue Rengui and a group of generals at the head of the city saw the musket team that suddenly broke out, and there was a hint of shock in their eyes, especially Xue Rengui, the future general, whose keen military tentacles had already told him that the appearance of this musket in front of him would definitely make a big difference in the future war situation, and it seemed that after this battle, he would also plead with His Royal Highness the King of Qi to come and equip a batch of muskets!

Seeing the power of the unknown weapon on the head of the city, Su Irilu, under the castle, suddenly turned extremely pale, he never dreamed that there would be such a weapon in the world, even the shield could penetrate, and even several generals were wearing excellent iron armor, but they were also beaten with holes all over their bodies, and the dead could not die anymore.

"Withdraw...... Retreat, the Tang army has this weapon, it seems that the sky is going to destroy my Yamato! Su I into the deer finally said with a dejected face, he has already exhausted his hole cards, but he only touched the city wall, and he has paid huge casualties, and if he continues to fight, I am afraid it will only increase the casualties.

The other Japanese had already been frightened by the strong combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, and they were only forced by the military order to step forward, and now when they heard the order of Su I to withdraw from the army, they immediately retreated like a tide, and only a bloody corpse remained under the city, and even the wounded were not carried away.

It's not that the Japanese don't care about their companions, but that they are not like the Tang Army, there are special medical guards in the army, and there are not even doctors in the Japanese army, and these wounded Japanese people will inevitably die if they are carried back, so it is better to throw them on the battlefield and leave them to fend for themselves, so that others can save some effort, and the army can also save a little grain and grass.

In the next few days, Suzu Castle attacked Nozu Castle several times, and tried his best, either by night surprise attack, or by digging tunnels, but unfortunately all of them were recognized by the Tang Army, not only failed to take down Nozu Castle, but also paid great casualties.

However, Xue Rengui and Hu Li also paid a lot of price, with more than 3,000 casualties among the 10,000 grassland Hu people, and nearly half of the casualties among the Kunlun slaves. The musket team is Li Su's treasure, and Xue Rengui and Hu Li also know the preciousness of this army, so every time they go out to fight, they will be closely protected, so there are not many dead and wounded, together there are less than 100 people, and there are some wounded among them, who can recover after a period of rest.

Su I entered the deer with a large army to frantically besiege Nozu City, because he also knew that the main force of the Tang Army in the rear was covering up, if they could not pass through Nozu City as soon as possible, then they would face a flank attack from front to back, and what was waiting for them would be the end of the annihilation of the whole army. So every day passed, their attacks were crazy, and even on the fourth day, Xue Rengui and the others had to use grenades, rockets and other firearms, coupled with the sharpness of the musket team, which finally repelled their attack.

And on the fifth day, Xue Rengui and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, because Su Dingfang's army finally arrived at the foot of Yejin City, and all the Japanese people, including Su Irulu, showed a look of despair. (To be continued.) )
