Chapter 363: The First Battle of the DPRK
"Master Baylor, General Li said that all the Korean people nearby have been killed by these god-killing Japanese pirates a long time ago. These so-called Korean people are just Japanese pirates pretending to be Japanese pirates. Let Lord Baylor just kill the enemy for the sake of peace."
Those Goryeo people take revenge!"
Just when Nuerhachi was gnashing his teeth in anger, Aha, who had gone to the rear team to ask for instructions, looked at the woman from the Goryeo people opposite with a strange expression, and told the news that these people were Japanese pirates in disguise.
"Besides, General Li said, Lord Baylor, be careful of these naughty men's blunderbuss!"
Finally, after bringing back the news that Li Chengming asked him to let go of the attack, the Aha immediately told the news that the Japanese pirates had guns.
"I've seen it before. Isn't it just a matchlock gun? It only takes twenty or thirty steps to kill someone! Our heavy arrows would have hit their heads at this distance!"
Glancing at the gunmen in the Japanese army formation opposite, Nuerhachi curled his lips in disdain.
You know, when he was still working as a servant under Li Chengliang, he had never used this kind of matchlock gun. He knew its power and range very well.
"Eyidu, Anfei Yanggu, you each lead two thousand men, and use heavy arrows to shoot at the enemy in turn. Anyone who dares to stand in the way, no matter who it is, kill!!!"
Although he said he was dismissive of the Japanese pirates' matchlock guns, fireguns were fireguns. Therefore, in order to reduce casualties, Nuerhachi still decided on a strategy of defeating the enemy with heavy arrows, and did not directly engage in hand-to-hand combat.
.
Moreover, after receiving instructions from Li Chengming, the 'supervisor of the army', Nuerhachi let go of his hands and directly counted the 'fake' Goryeo who was acting as a human shield in front of the Japanese pirates as a Japanese pirate.
"Woo~woo~"
"Allah!!!"
As the desolate horn horns representing the attack sounded, and with the sound of charges, Eyidu and Anfei Yanggu each led two thousand Jianzhou cavalry, and launched an attack on the Japanese army position opposite in a very scattered formation.
.
"Nani! Jurchen?"
When they heard the sound of charging that was completely different from Chinese, those among these Japanese who understood Chinese were immediately confused. How could the Ming army that had been promised turn into Jurchen cavalry in an instant?
You must know that the saying that "there are no more than ten thousand Jurchens, they are invincible" is very popular even in the Japanese country.
Fortunately, after only a moment, these Japanese troops regained their composure. The reason was naturally the extremely dispersed formation of the Jianzhou Cavalry.
There is no way, these arrogant frogs in the well, their understanding of cavalry tactics is still stuck in the idea that only by concentrating the charge can the advantages of cavalry be brought into play.
But they had no idea that the scattered formation of these Jianzhou cavalry was the best choice for dealing with intensive fire from firearms.
"Iron Gunner, prepare!"
As the Jianju cavalry got closer and closer, the Japanese troops hiding behind the Goryeo people immediately prepared to launch fire cannons.
"Boohoo!"
However, just as these Japanese soldiers hiding behind human shields were waiting for the Jianzhou cavalry to enter the best range of what they named the "iron cannon", which was actually the matchlock gun, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came.
Sharp arrows were fired fiercely at the 'fake Goryeo' who were acting as human shields from a distance of about twenty steps.
Later, under the leadership of E Yidu and Anfei Yanggu, these Jianzhou cavalry directly drew an arc in front of the Japanese army's "human shield" and swept back, leaving only countless "fake Goryeo"
Human screams.
"Nani? Is this the legendary Benshe?"
Looking at the 'fake Goryeo' who were either running away or falling to the ground screaming under the bows and arrows of the Jianzhou Cavalry, the Japanese soldiers who had not yet been hit by the bows and arrows were suddenly overwhelmed by the wonderful 'performance' of the Jianzhou Cavalry.
Shocked!
There is no way, although since ancient times, this shooting has been recorded as a unique skill of nomads, but in fact, even among nomads who grew up on horseback, not everyone can shoot accurate arrows on galloping horses.
of.
Therefore, seeing this legendary shooting skill is really an eye-opener for these arrogant and ignorant frogs in the well!
"Sir, those Koreans..."
And just when these Japanese soldiers were praising the wonderful "performance" of the Jianzhou Army, they noticed that the Koreans who were acting as human shields were fleeing in all directions, and a small leader couldn't help but remind them.
"Forget it, these Goryeo untouchables are lucky. I am going to compete with these Jurchen cavalry who can run and shoot, and I will give them a way to survive, hahahaha!"
It can be seen that although these Japanese soldiers admired the Jianzhou Army's flying skills, they only regarded it as a kind of "acrobatic" appreciation, but did not really regard it as a threat.
There is no way, compared to the bows and arrows of the Jianzhou Army, these Japanese pirates obviously trust the matchlock guns in their hands more!
"Allah!!!"
Soon, after a round of shooting, the human shields in front of the Japanese pirates' formation were dispersed. The Jianzhou Army, which had been unscathed in the previous round of shooting, led by E Yidu and Anfei Yanggu, once again attacked the Japanese pirates.
A three-stage musket formation launched a skirmisher charge.
"Iron Gunner, prepare!"
Seeing the Jianzhou Army charging in again, the Japanese general asked the gunmen to prepare for shooting. However, he did not give the order to shoot. Instead, he prepared to wait for the Jianzhou Army to reach a distance of thirty steps.
There was no way, the Jianzhou Army had previously only fired arrows at a distance of twenty paces at those 'fake Goryeo'.
Therefore, considering the fact that his own bamboo bow only had a range of about twenty steps, the Japanese general thought that the Jianzhou Army's cavalry bows had a range of only this distance.
However, just because the Japanese are stupid does not mean that the ‘founding generals’ in original history like Eyidu and Anfeiyanggu are also stupid.
Therefore, while the Japanese generals were still waiting for the best shooting distance of thirty steps, with a burst of intensive "boom boom" sound of bowstrings, sharp arrows with thick arrowheads were fired as fast and fierce as poisonous snakes.
He bit the Japanese army fiercely.
"If you shoot an arrow from such a distance, it won't be powerful..."
"ah……"
However, before the Japanese general could finish saying the word "strength", as a scream sounded in his ears, he realized that his "iron cannon" operators were lost in an instant.
At least more than a quarter.
And what frightened him was that most of the 'iron gunners' who were hit by arrows were hit by arrows in the face. The sharp arrows that went straight to the head gave these people no chance of survival at all!
It can be seen that the accuracy of the arrows shot by these Jurchens is really amazing.
As for those Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough not to be shot in the face, their armors were directly penetrated by these sharp arrows at this moment, and most of them lost the ability to fight again.
There was no way, compared to the light arrows used against the 'fake Goryeo' in the first round, this time, E Yidu and others used heavy arrows with arrowheads weighing two taels.
Therefore, how can the Japanese pirates' armor, which looks gorgeous but has mediocre defensive power, be able to block such heavy arrows?
