The rise of the poor

Chapter 2157: Battle (5)

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps

In the blink of an eye, the Japanese pirates rushed forward more than ten meters, and were only twenty meters away from the Zhejiang army. They could even clearly see the whites of the Zhejiang soldiers' eyes.

"go to hell!"

The Japanese pirates howled and leaped forward. This was their unique skill. They were fast, fierce and powerful. They could chop people into pieces and were invincible.

Seven steps, within seven steps, we must get the head of the Zhejiang army!

The Japanese pirates were so confident that they could jump four meters in one step and enter the Zhejiang army in seven steps.

One step, two.

Before he took the second step, he saw the Zhejiang Army soldier in front of him take out a musket from behind his back, hold it up, and pull the trigger.

"Bang bang bang" a neat and dense burst of musketry sounded again.

A familiar scene reappears!

The Japanese pirates jumping in the air fell to the ground with bangs as if they were hit by a huge sickle.

Blood, brain matter, broken fingers and debris were all over the ground.

The screams of crying for parents were deafening.

At such a close distance, the armor on the Japanese pirates, even if it was heavy armor, was like paper in front of the gun pellets and could not stop it at all, especially since the Zhejiang Army's gunpowder was black gunpowder that had been improved by Zhu Ping'an.

The power is more than twice that of firearms of this era.

Firearms are the nemesis of cold weapons, not to mention the firearms of the Zhejiang Army that were improved by Zhu Ping'an.

The Japanese pirates who rushed forward with their remaining courage were treated to a massacre in front of the Zhejiang army.

After the three rows of soldiers in the front team of the Zhejiang Army finished fighting, they retreated and reloaded gunpowder; the three rows of soldiers in the back team slid forward, also took out the muskets behind them, raised them horizontally, pulled the triggers, and the neat and dense "bang bang bang" sounds of the muskets rang out again.

The Grim Reaper's scythe swung down again!

The Japanese pirates felled the field one after another like they were cutting wheat.

After this group of soldiers fired, they retreated. The Zhejiang army behind them moved forward smoothly, took out the muskets behind them, raised them horizontally, and pulled the trigger. The neat and dense sound of "bang bang bang" of muskets rang out again.

The Grim Reaper's scythe is under his command once again.

The bodies of the fallen Japanese pirates were not only scattered all over the ground, but also too numerous to count.

This row of Zhejiang soldiers retreated, and the first one to retreat had already reloaded their muskets, two of them.

Zhu Ping'an was watching the battlefield from the other side of the river and nodded in agreement. This group of Japanese pirates were indeed Wang Zhi's personal guards. They had survived six rounds of musket attacks without losing. They were even stronger than the Japanese pirates under Mao Haifeng and Otomo Sadakawa.

However, the Japanese pirates couldn't help but boast.

As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished praising, the Zhejiang army fired another round of musket fire, which completely crushed the courage of the Japanese pirates.

Mother!

Are the Zhejiang Army ghosts?! Are the Zhejiang Army's firearms ghosts from the underworld? How can they reload so quickly?!

After firing three rounds of muskets, they should reload the gunpowder, right? !

Turns out, they also have a musket!

Another three-wheeled musket!

The Japanese pirates thought, now they have to load gunpowder, right? !

As a result, their firearms were already loaded, not just one, but two muskets!

Because, this time, after the Zhejiang Army fired a round of muskets, they took out another musket from behind and raised it.

At this time, less than half of the Japanese pirates were still standing. Seeing this scene, the surviving Japanese pirates were filled with fear!

Mother!

We can't help it!

The armor on us was like paper in front of the Zhejiang Army's firearms and could not stop their musket bullets at all.

They had originally hoped to rush in and chop the Zhejiang Army into pieces like chopping melons and vegetables while the Zhejiang Army was loading gunpowder and had no fighting power. However, they did not expect that the Zhejiang Army loaded gunpowder too quickly, so quickly that not enough of their people were killed!

As soon as the Zhejiang Army's firearms fired, the brothers around them fell down in large numbers. The reason they were still alive at this time was, on the one hand, because they were lucky, and on the other hand, because they were located at the back. It had nothing to do with their armor!

Now the Japanese friends in front have almost all died. They have become the front. If the Zhejiang Army’s firearms sound again, they have no confidence that they can still stand.

At this moment, there were only ten meters left to the Zhejiang Army, but this distance was a death gap for them!

An insurmountable chasm!

They were confident that before they could reach the Zhejiang army's formation, they would fall into the ten-meter gap.

"There's something wrong with the Zhejiang Army's firearms. They load too quickly. With so few people, we'll die if we charge head-on! I don't want to die yet. I still have dozens of taels of silver I robbed, and I haven't fucked the women I robbed a few times yet. I don't want to die!"

One of the Japanese pirates shouted, turned around and ran back.

"Run! There's something fishy about the Zhejiang Army's firearms!"

"If you don't want to die, run away together. The Zhejiang Army is about to open fire again!"

"I'm not a coward, but I don't want to be a dead dog! I have a 70-year-old mother and a 3-year-old child. I can't die!"

"Hurry up and run. It will be too late if you don't run now."

Suddenly, many Japanese pirates followed and ran back, crying for their parents, vying for the first place, not wanting to be left behind.

If you fall behind by one step, you might become the dead dog that takes the blame!

"Bang bang bang!" The Zhejiang army's neat and dense musketry sounded again, and it became the clarion call for the Japanese pirates to escape.

All the Japanese pirates who were still standing rushed back to escape, and those who were slow to turn around or blocked their way were knocked over.

"Damn it! Anyone who escapes will die!" Xue Tao, with disheveled hair, wielded a Japanese sword and killed a Japanese pirate who passed by him.

But it was of no use, he only had one knife, and he could only kill one Japanese pirate who was fleeing with one knife. There were more than 400 Japanese pirates fleeing, and he could not kill them all at all. The Japanese pirates cried for their parents and ran past him to escape.

At this time, the personal guards following Xue Tao wanted to follow Xue Tao to kill a few fleeing Japanese pirates to intimidate them.

However, the fleeing Japanese pirates might still be afraid of Xue Tao, but not of their personal guards.

Before these guards could swing their swords, they were knocked to the ground by the fleeing Japanese pirates, and were trampled on by countless feet. In just a few breaths, several guards were trampled to death by the fleeing Japanese pirates.

"Put on the bayonets! Stop chasing after 200 meters!" Liu Dadao's order was heard from the Zhejiang Army's position.

"Put on the bayonets, chase for 200 meters!"

A group of middle and lower-level officers conveyed Liu Dadao's orders layer by layer.

In an instant, the Zhejiang soldiers put on their bayonets, held them up in groups, and chased after the fleeing Japanese pirates.

The slower-running Japanese pirates were caught up by them, and several bayonets were thrust out at the same time, and they screamed and were stabbed to death.

"General, retreat quickly, it will be too late if we don't retreat now." The two surviving guards of Xue Tao saw that the Zhejiang army was chasing them with bayonets, and they knew it would be too late if they didn't retreat now. Regardless of Xue Tao's refusal or not, they carried him and ran back.

As Xue Tao was carried back, the Japanese pirates on the field were completely defeated, and they all ran back for their lives. (End of this chapter)
