Become a feudal king from today - #903 - Chapter 917: Bloody Battle in the Valley

“kill!”

Just as the Japanese cavalry rushed toward the pointed bayonets, the Marines in the front row burst out with a roar, blocked the butt of the rifle with their right foot, and pressed the Qin-style rifle in their hands to the ground.

This would ensure that the cavalry would not overwhelm them with guns and men.

At this moment, Pan Chang’s pupils shrank slightly.

However, he was calm in his heart and believed that the battle was settled.

At the moment when the Japanese cavalry made a large-scale charge, he was a little worried.

After all, they had never faced off against the cavalry before.

Moreover, the front row of these Japanese cavalry all rode tall Beidi war horses.

The most important thing about the cavalry is the horse, which will determine the impact of the cavalry.

But after all the cavalry in the front row were dead, he felt relieved.

Because the remaining cavalry were riding Japanese pony horses.

The height of this kind of war horse is about the same as that of Dasong’s donkey.

In addition, Japanese people themselves are shorter than Dasong people.

Let them suddenly go from facing a situation where a person and a horse are two meters tall, to a situation where a person and a horse are 1.67 meters tall.

“hiss……”

Just as he was thinking, the Japanese cavalry hit the bayonet.

The sharp bayonet instantly penetrated the Japanese war horse’s body, causing the war horse to scream in agony.

Immediately, the painful pony no longer continued to rush forward, but raised its front hooves high.

After all, war horses are living creatures. No matter how rigorously trained a war horse is, it will instinctively avoid it when faced with threats to its life.

Since the impact of the pony horses was not strong, the Marines in the front row successfully withstood the impact of this part of the cavalry.

The other cavalrymen took the opportunity to raise their bayonets and knock off the Japanese soldiers on their horses.

The cavalry that attacked the hollow phalanx were quickly annihilated.

The Japanese cavalry who rounded back to the side faced the muzzles of the Marines.

Amidst bursts of gunfire, eight or nine hundred cavalrymen fell one by one.

There were also timid cavalrymen who were scared out of their wits and fled out of the valley.

“Disperse the Free Society to shoot.” The Japanese cavalry was defeated, and the generals did not relax their vigilance and immediately shouted.

The hollow phalanx immediately transformed into a large horizontal formation.

There are three rows on the east side and three rows on the west side.

They also showed three rows of soldiers aiming at the advancing Japanese infantry.

While they were fighting the cavalry, these Japanese infantrymen kept marching.

At this time, they were less than 200 meters away.

Compared with cavalry, the number of Japanese infantry is obviously much larger.

If they were allowed to come within flintlock range, they would still be quite dangerous.

Fortunately, the Japanese infantry’s march was not very smooth.

The corpses of cavalry and horses made it impossible for them to maintain a uniform formation.

But they were obviously stuck in the line formation, and the Japanese generals constantly asked the soldiers to adjust their positions to maintain the formation.

This slowed their progress again.

“Bang bang bang…”

The Marines clearly didn’t want to give them time to march leisurely.

After being dispersed, the soldiers assumed various shooting postures.

Stand up, kneel on one knee, lie down, and touch the fields to protect yourself.

Unlike facing cavalry, they did not want to be approached by Japanese infantry and fired a volley.

Spreading out, due to the accuracy of the Qin-style rifles, it does not affect their ability to shoot the opponent’s soldiers, and they can also avoid being lined up to be shot.

Intensive gunfire rang out, and the Japanese infantry suffered heavy casualties in an instant.

Their dense formations were targets for the Marines.

The soldiers didn’t even have to aim, they just fired into the crowd.

At this time, the awkwardness of the line formation facing the skirmish line was revealed.

If they were scattered, with the accuracy of a flintlock rifle, they would have basically no lethality.

Concentration will cause serious losses.

The Japanese infantry generals were also dumbfounded.

They had never seen such a way of fighting.

Before, King Yan’s soldiers at least stood and loaded their ammunition.

How could King Yan’s soldiers lie on the ground and reload their ammunition this time?

But the battlefield did not allow them to think deeply. The soldiers of King Yan were shooting at them wildly.

The marching Japanese soldiers kept falling.

Soon, the ground was covered with layers of corpses.

The short distance of 200 meters was an insurmountable obstacle for the Japanese soldiers.

Behind the formation of Japanese soldiers, Kuukii watched the battlefield.

The fall of the cavalryman made his face pale and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Now, the infantry’s attack was obviously severely hindered, which frightened him.

The belief that he would win just now collapsed instantly.

All that was left in my heart was fear.

This King Yan’s army was beyond his knowledge.

How could they fight with such freedom?

The most important thing is that through the telescope, the muskets of these soldiers seem to be different from the previous muskets, and are several times more terrifying than the previous muskets.

“What should I do? What should I do?” Jiugui’s mind went blank.

The Watanabe case gave him the important task of blocking King Yan’s troops.

If the mission fails, Baihe City will not be able to defend itself.

Baihe City cannot be defended, and the case of General Watanabe will not be able to escape this disaster.

After that, Yamada Haruno will also suffer failures along the way.

This means that their South will be completely defeated.

Confusing thoughts recurred in his mind.

Jiukii finally issued an order, “All charge, direct hand-to-hand combat!”

He had had enough of the slow line march.

The order was passed on, and the Japanese soldiers no longer ignored their formation and rushed forward in a swarm.

Pan Chang was protected in the middle by the soldiers and had been observing the battlefield.

Realizing the change in Japanese tactics, he sneered.

The order was immediately passed on, and instead the soldiers were gathered into a tight formation.

This is the best way to deal with a disorganized army.

After receiving Captain Pan’s order, the Marine Corps general ordered the soldiers to fire and assemble at the same time.

Since the Qin-style rifle does not require complicated loading methods, soldiers can easily complete this action.

At the same time, Marine Corps officers and soldiers are all tactically literate people. As soon as other soldiers move, they will know what Commander Pan’s order is.

So the soldiers quickly regrouped.

The bullets fired in close formation are denser and more deadly.

The Japanese soldiers who rushed over fell on the charging road at an alarming speed, and then the substitute Japanese soldiers continued to charge forward.

This lasted for a quarter of an hour.

The corpses of Japanese soldiers gradually piled up into a hill thirty meters in front of the Marines.

Blood flows like streams in the rice fields.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer companions, King Yan’s soldiers are like a steel city wall, unbreakable.

It seems that the critical point of morale collapse has been reached.

As a Japanese left the battlefield and ran out of the valley.

The Japanese soldiers finally collapsed completely. They fled in all directions like a herd of deer chased by tigers.

“Come back! Come back!” Jiugui looked at the Japanese soldiers who had completely lost their morale due to fear in horror.

He shouted loudly, but no soldier paid attention to him.

Shocked and angry, he jumped off his horse, drew his Japanese sword and hacked at the fleeing soldiers.

But even so, it still couldn’t stop the collapse.

I don’t know how long it took, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows.

Then he slowly fell down.

A hundred meters away from him, Chang Pan threw the Qin-style rifle to the soldiers beside him.

After noticing this crazy Japanese general, under the protection of his personal guards, he stepped forward and shot him dead.

With a snort, Pan Chang looked at Baihe City and said, “It’s time to understand the war on the Eastern Front. Brothers, it’s time to capture the Watanabe case alive.”
