However, these Japanese pirates who seemed to have seen victory and waved to them again were destined to be defeated in these five rounds of shooting...

One man shot five rounds, and three rows of musketeers all added up to fifteen rounds of lead bullets.

On average, almost every four seconds, there was a round of seven or eight hundred lead bullets flying towards them with the breath of death.

As a result, the dense army of Japanese pirates went further and there were many soldiers falling on the attack.

More importantly, in front of them, there is a difficult difficulty, grenade.

When the Japanese pirates who paid a price of thousands of people finally rushed to thirty steps from the Tiger and Leopard Army, more than one thousand musketeers were in a row, and they directly put down their muskets and threw more than a thousand grenades with white smoke at them...

At this time, if the Japanese pirates also have musketeers and archers, they will use them to kill and injure the Tiger and Leopard Army from a long distance, and prevent the Tiger and Leopard Army from fighting back with all their strength.

The Japanese pirates who were already close may have a chance to overcome the damage caused by the grenades and rush to the Tiger and Leopard Army.

However, unfortunately, their limited musketeers and archers have all been killed in battle.

With just relying on these ordinary soldiers who are good at melee fighting, in front of the Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers and bomb throwers, they could not even see the Tiger and Leopard Army except for death...

In the Japanese pirates' camp, the main general who had just held the last glimmer of hope, saw that more than 10,000 musketeers and archers were destroyed. The first thought in the general's mind was over.

Then, an unprecedented despair appeared on his face, even though there were more than a dozen eyes staring at him, waiting for him to come up with a solution.

Seeing that the soldiers who were less than 8,000 people left on the battlefield still continued to launch an attack without hesitation and made a last fight.

The main general knew that such an attack would have no other meaning than to lose his life in vain and weaken his own strength.

So, with a desperate look on his face, he directly issued a retreat order.

When the sound of retreating reached the ears of all Japanese pirates on the battlefield, it also reached the ears of all tiger and leopard soldiers, including Zhao Yun.

Seeing that the Japanese pirates had already shown signs of retreat on the battlefield, Zhao Yun decisively ordered.

"Order, musketeers, launch a counterattack against the Japanese pirate attacking troops immediately, and take advantage of the opportunity to enter the Japanese pirate camp... Heavy artillery, heavy mortars. Carry out artillery fire cover on the spot... Medium mortars, light mortars, follow the musketeers to launch a counterattack against the Japanese pirate attacking troops... This time, I want to defeat this Japanese pirate army in one battle, so that they will completely lose their combat effectiveness..."

After the order was issued, the division commander did not leave immediately, but reminded him with a worried look: "Captain, is it faster to launch a counterattack now? After all, there are at least 10,000 elite troops in the Japanese pirates' camp. And we have only 5,000 people in full..."

"Also, every soldier in front of us has experienced almost half an hour of bloody battle, and everyone is very tired. I am worried that the soldiers will not be able to hold on to this high-intensity battle..."

Zhao Yun refused without hesitation and said, "No, just launch a counterattack now... Only when we launch a counterattack now can we enter the Japanese pirates' camp at the minimum price. This is called taking advantage of his illness and killing him..."

"Tell the soldiers. They will hold on to me. If they can't hold on, they will hold on to me. They will fight to defeat the Japanese pirates in one battle... After that, I will personally ask everyone for me to give me credit from the royal palace. Each person will reward one hundred taels of silver..."

For these former imperial officials who joined the Tiger and Leopard Army, one hundred taels of silver would be paid for in three years. Even the Tiger and Leopard Army where they are now, they would have paid almost one and a half years of money.

And now, you just need to persevere until the end of the battle in front of you. You can get this silver comparison.

For ordinary soldiers in the army, it is definitely an irresistible temptation.

So, a glimmer of light flashed quickly on the face of the commander of the 7th Division, who was still hesitant just now.

He was sure that under the temptation of one hundred taels of silver, no matter how tired the soldiers under his command would grit their teeth and continue to attack forward.

Thinking of this, the division commander took the order without thinking: "The commander is wise... I will convey the military order immediately..."

Silver is absolutely invincible to ordinary soldiers.

The Japanese pirates had just begun to retreat, and the 5,000 Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers, like tigers going down the mountain, began to pursue.

While chasing, he continued to load the musket and shot forward...

So, this scene appeared on the battlefield. The Japanese pirates who fled to the end fell on the retreat one after another under the attack of the tiger and leopard army continuously firing lead bullets behind them.

Thousands of Japanese pirates finally fled back to the barracks. Before they could breathe, the Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers who followed closely had already rushed to less than fifty steps from the barracks.

At this time, if the Japanese pirates cannot organize an effective counterattack, five thousand musketeers will pour into the military camp after a few breaths.

However, after half an hour of attack and with the withdrawal of troops as if they were fleeing.

Thousands of Japanese pirates have long been trapped in a chaotic situation where soldiers cannot find generals and generals do not know about soldiers. They have no way to organize an effective counterattack in a short period of time...

As for the Japanese pirates who remained in the military camp, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which also suffered heavy losses, would launch a counterattack when the troops were very tired, and there was no preparation at all.

When he reacted from the shock of the Tiger and Leopard Army launching a counterattack, he wanted to mobilize troops to cover and receive the retreating soldiers, the five thousand Tiger and Leopard Army musketeers had already rushed outside the military camp.

More importantly, the five thousand support troops he had finally organized had not yet rushed to the 5,000 musketeers of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and were hit by more than 100 heavy artillery pieces of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and were bombed into pieces...

In addition, the loss of musketeers and archers, the Japanese pirates' chief general had no long-range fire strike force in his hands that could block the attack of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

The Japanese pirates who remained in the military camp could only watch the five thousand tiger and leopard musketeers rushed into the military camp as if they were entering a no-man.

After entering the military camp, the five thousand musketeers did not attack everywhere blindly, but stopped when they saw the opportunity, occupying a gap in the Japanese pirates' camp, waiting for the arrival of subsequent heavy artillery troops.

After all, there are almost more than 16,000 Japanese pirates in the military camp, more than three times their own.

If you strangle with the Japanese pirates during the attack everywhere and have no advantage in military strength, you will either be driven out of the military camp by the Japanese pirates or be eliminated in the military camp by the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese pirates' commander, seeing that the Tiger and Leopard Army did not drive straight into their military camp, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

However, in just the blink of an eye, the facial expression that had just relaxed was covered again with solemnity.

Because at this time, he had already thought of the purpose and reason why the Tiger and Leopard Army did not advance straight.
