I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 622: Siege

The two sides began to take action. When the main force of the Chinese army contacted Kumamoto's forces, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's forces also went under the castle mountain and launched an attack.

The last time it was the Chinese offensive, he was defending. This time, the offensive and defensive positions of the two sides have changed.

The sound of gunfire sounded.

For this battle, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa moved out all the old things that had nothing left.

After being pieced together by him, he collected more than forty artillery pieces in a daze.

However, of his artillery, there are only a few large-caliber guns of the red cannon level.

The remaining ones are bowl-mouth cannons, which are similar to Dahua’s previous Thunder Cannons. The muzzle is very small, and the body is very light and easy to carry.

However, the range is also very short, so it must be carried with the army to use when it is close to the opponent.

However, these bowl-mouth guns have an advantage, that is, they are not firing solid bullets, but a large number of small iron balls.

Although the hit rate is extremely low, but one shot is hundreds of small iron balls, and the lethality is amazing when facing a dense enemy.

It was those heavy artillery that sounded first, and only these artillery can hit that far.

With only a few guns, there is almost no threat to the Chinese army.

The function of these cannons is more like the Fusang people used to embolden their soldiers.

In addition to artillery, he also collected various types of guns, a total of about 1,000.

But in terms of performance, that's hard to say.

Whether these muskets are easy to use or not is a question.

After a few shots, the Fusang people launched a general attack from three directions where the terrain was not so steep.

The mountains and plains were full of enemies, and the artillery of the Chinese Army rang.

In fact, their artillery was able to hit the enemy just now, but in order to attract the enemy to launch a charge, the Chinese army simply did not fire.

And now that the Fusang people have launched an attack, they can fire their cannons to their heart's content.

Dozens of cannons sounded at the same time, and their momentum was much larger than those of the Fusang people, and they were not at the same level at all.

More terrifying than the momentum, it is naturally lethal.

Armies that are not used to fighting with artillery often make some mistakes, such as intensive charging.

If the soldiers keep enough space between them, in fact, with the current artillery power, the lethality is extremely limited.

Even if it is facing the artillery of later generations, as long as you maintain a larger interval, the casualties can be greatly reduced.

But the problem is that the combat thinking of the armies of most countries and regions is still stuck in the era of cold weapons, and they have little experience in fighting a large number of artillery.

If you haven't experienced it, you won't be able to sum up the experience of dealing with artillery.

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's troops rushed up the mountain in a very dense formation, and the shells fell among them, and one explosion was a large area.

This is also due to the fact that Dahua doesn't have many artillery pieces. If hundreds of artillery pieces are arranged, no infantry is needed. Those artillery pieces alone can blast the enemy to collapse.

Now, although the Fusang people have suffered heavy losses, they are still within their tolerance.

They continued to rush, and then rushed into the range of the Chinese infantry.

The gunfire sounded, and the nightmare of the Fuso samurai began.

How to cross this section of the road safely is their biggest problem.

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's solution is to rely on more people.

No matter how powerful the Chinese Army’s rifle is, it must always be used by someone. A person can only use one gun, and the rate of fire of a gun is limited.

Therefore, the number of bullets fired each time is limited, and the enemies that can be killed are limited. As long as one's own soldiers are far greater than the number of bullets, they can rush to the enemy after a group of soldiers have died.

Four thousand Chinese troops need to defend three directions, each of which is about 300 meters wide.

With just over a thousand people, it is not easy to defend such a wide position.

After all, they can't kill an enemy with one bullet, and even more bullets are actually empty.

The Fuso warriors charged continuously, and some people with guns, after entering the firing range, also aimed at the Chinese army and started shooting.

It's just that they all use muskets, and none of them have accurate heads.

They are only responsible for shooting, and it depends on fate to fail.

It is a pity that those bullets have nothing to do with the Chinese army, because the Chinese army basically only exposed the part above the shoulders, and the other parts are hidden in the fortifications.

This defensive method can even effectively defend the rifles in their own hands, not to mention the muskets in the hands of the Fuso samurai.

Except for the very few soldiers who were unlucky enough to arrive at the grandmother's house and were hit, the others continued to shoot as if there was nothing wrong with them.

Occasionally one or two bullets flew over their heads or hit the ground in front of them, and they couldn't help but smile, not taking it seriously.

The probability of being shot by an enemy bullet is about the same as the probability of a rifle in hand.

After shooting a few shots, the Fuso samurai with a gun also discovered this embarrassing problem.

The same is a gun, the difference is big.

As a result, some samurai simply gave up the long-range function of this gun, and rushed forward to prepare for close hand-to-hand combat.

Some wiser samurai continued to shoot from a distance even knowing that they could not hit them.

After all, the farther away from the Chinese army, the lower the risk factor.

Those Chinese troops are all giving priority to attacking those who are closer to them.

It doesn't matter whether you can hit the enemy, it can reduce the probability of being hit by the enemy, this effect is already good.

"Run left and right, don't walk in a straight line."

On the battlefield, some commanding officers kept observing the battle, and were slowly accumulating experience.

They found that in the course of the charge, they changed their route from time to time. Don't always go in a straight line. The enemy would be more difficult to hit.

As a result, some officers began to make reminders.

This is probably the earliest tactical charge.

And some smart soldiers are also summing up their experience in the battle. Some people know that they are looking for the dead spots of the Chinese army when they are charging.

First run to a blind spot or behind an obstacle, then look for the next safe area, and continue to rush to the next safe location.

In this way, they are constantly approaching the position of the Chinese army.

They may not know the truth, but intuitively, they have concluded this effective method.

This method is actually very effective. The Chinese army wants to shoot these soldiers, and the difficulty is directly increased several times.

However, smart soldiers are always in the minority, and most soldiers still need to be taught by post-war officers.

And now, the officers haven't summed up a good way for the time being, and they are still making them brainless. Therefore, most of the samurai are rushing out of nowhere.

A large number of Fuso samurai fell in such a charge.
