The distance was a bit far, and a few bullets penetrated the boat gang and hit the arquebusiers behind. But this was enough to shock Kuki Yoshiro, because the distance was more than 300 steps.

Shooting at this distance is only the theoretical distance of a matchlock gun. If you want to hit the enemy, you must rely on your character and luck. The opponent's volley can actually hit people. Your character and luck are so good.

"Baga!" Kuki Yoshiro ordered, and the matchlock soldiers immediately fought back. He couldn't believe that the descendants of Amaterasu were not as lucky and good as those from the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiao was also anxiously circling around, otherwise he wouldn't have ordered the shooting at this confusing distance. There was a flurry of gunfire, but he couldn't even see clearly whether anyone on the other side was shot. Li Xiao missed his military telescope too much.

Sorry, it's a pity that Pidao's glass manufacturing is not up to standard.

The made glass looks fine to the naked eye, but once it is made into a convex lens, there are bubbles inside. Li Xiao's dream of telescopes still has a long way to go.

What Li Xiao is most fortunate about now is that this guy Ao Canghai has a sperm in his head. He has to go back to Pi Island to see Sister Qiao, and then he has to go back to Changxing Island to train new recruits.

Considering that he had to select officers at all levels of the squad, platoon and company in Pidao, Li Xiao left it to him.

Unexpectedly, they happened to catch up with the Japanese pirates' attack. He and Li Xiao were guarding a boat alone. When facing a battle, officers with command experience are very important.

Now Ao Canghai was approaching the Japanese warship in another direction. When he reached the shooting distance, he decisively ordered to fire.

Just as Jiugui Jialong's attention was attracted by Li Xiao, a violent "crackling" sound suddenly sounded from the other side of the ship.

The arquebusiers who were loading the powder were immediately shot down, and blood and flesh were scattered all over the deck. Kuki Yoshiro saw his arquebusiers, screaming and wailing, rolling into a ball on the deck.

"Retreat!" Seeing the tragic situation on the deck, Kuuki Yoshitaka immediately ordered a retreat. As a daimyo of the Chosu Domain, Kuuki Yoshitaka was not lacking in courage. But he suddenly understood one thing, neither was Shimazu Yoshihiro of the Shimazu family.

He's just an idle guy. His ten ships can't do anything to him, and his own ship is no match for him.

Facing a powerful enemy that was basically impossible to defeat, Jiuki Jiarong chose to retreat in time.

Li Xiao and Ao Canghai helplessly watched the Japanese warship retreat. After all, there were still many ships on the sea. There were still many ships transporting soldiers to land on Pi Island! There was no time to chase the Japanese warship that had escaped from the battle.

Tengtang Gaohu was very depressed today, attacking such a small island. Tens of thousands of troops were dispatched, and with the help of North Korean pirates, they had been fighting for a day and a night, but unexpectedly they still failed to break through the island. As the commander-in-chief, Tengtang Gaohu

I felt like my face was being pushed to the ground and rubbed hard by the Ming army on the island.

After fighting for a day and night, Li Xiu felt that he could no longer hold on. Those Japanese pirates were very ferocious, and the mine array around the island did little harm to them. Because the Japanese pirates captured a lot of Korean people, they drove them to the island.

.Anyone who does not run to the island will be shot with a matchlock gun.

I watched a group of people rush towards the minefield, and then were lifted into the sky by the blast of air. Large pieces of corpses turned into small pieces, and then turned into smaller pieces.

The power of landmines actually lies more in deterrence. When one person steps on a landmine, other people will feel that there are landmines everywhere. But this thing is one-time use. After the landmine explodes on the battlefield, you cannot immediately rebury it.

One.

When Korean corpses covered the entire coast of Phi Island, the mine array had actually been destroyed.

Facing the surging Japanese soldiers, Li Xiu could only direct the mortars to fire continuously. Unfortunately, Li Xiu was not Li Xiao. He had not received professional military training, and the gunners relied on experience. Li Xiao's simple test

They haven't mastered the distance method yet.

The accuracy of the artillery shells was quite off, which put the musketeers on the dock into a tough fight. Fortunately, there were five machine guns stationed on the dock, otherwise the dock would have been breached long ago.

It has to be said that the training during this period of time played a good role. The musketeers reloaded very quickly, and there were even two people loading, and the other person who was accurate in shooting was responsible for the combination of shooting.

The Mini rifle shows unparalleled power. In the hands of an experienced shooter with rifling, it is unmatched in its length and breadth of 200 meters. There are even some perverted guys who like to hit people on the head.

Bullets with extremely high kinetic energy will tear apart the hard skull immediately. The thing inside the head is like a soup dumpling. The broken meat will fly around, giving the enemy a huge shock. Usually the explosion

After the first one or two, those powerful Japanese soldiers will lie down or even flee.

The Pi Island Army likes them to lie down, because the shooters on the high ground can have a bird's-eye view of the entire pier and beach. When the Japanese soldiers lie down, they will shoot fixed targets from a high position, and their shooting is very accurate.

As long as the Japanese pirates gather together, mortars will dominate the world. The mortar gun position is still on the top of the mountain, where you can overlook the entire Phi Island. As long as the Japanese pirates gather together, there will be a volley of mortars roaring.

Come on. Although the accuracy of the artillery cannon cannot be guaranteed, the power of the salvo is still astonishing.

After the flying shrapnel, there are usually broken corpses on the ground. Even if the Japanese pirates were wearing heavy armor, they could not withstand the shrapnel after the gunpowder explosion.

Li Xiu encountered the biggest problem, which was that there were not many mortar shells left. After fighting for a day and night, the shells in the warehouse were almost exhausted. If the shells were exhausted, the Japanese pirates would unscrupulously launch a group charge. Once trapped

In hand-to-hand combat, the defenders of Pi Island will be defeated in an instant.

After all, their numerical advantage was there. Tough Japanese musketeers had already ran behind the obstacles and started shooting at the Pi Island defenders. Some even stacked the corpses and used them as simple fortifications.

Just when Li Xiu was so anxious that he was about to jump up, he suddenly found two warships on the sea. They were charging recklessly, and Li Xiu could even hear the intermittent gunshots of Mini rifles coming from the sea.

When the distance is far away, use a musket to shoot, and when the distance is close, throw a grenade. The two ships go back and forth between the Japanese warships, and it is like entering an uninhabited land.

One by one, the Japanese warships withdrew from the battle. The main function of the grenades was to kill shrapnel. The damage to the warships was very limited, so the Japanese warships were able to completely withdraw from the battlefield after losing a large number of manpower.

Tengtang Gaohu's eyes were almost on fire. After paying a huge price, he was finally able to land on the island and shoot at the Ming army. As long as he landed another wave of troops, he could defeat these Ming troops. His rich battlefield experience allowed him to

After making a judgment, although the weapons of the Ming army on the island are sharp, the number of people is very small. The total number of people will never exceed a thousand. With such a numerical disadvantage, once they land on the island for a hand-to-hand fight, they will definitely not be an opponent.

But now two ferocious warships appeared behind them. They were like sharks in the sea. They kept swimming around looking for Japanese warships to attack. The Japanese warships that engaged them would be quickly defeated by them. They successively

More than a dozen boats were sent to stop the attack, but all of them were beaten and fled in confusion.

"Lord, the Ming army is coming towards our ship." The signal soldier shouted, and Teng Tang Gaohu quickly raised his telescope.

Inside the telescope, two Ming warships were outflanking each other, one on the left and the other on the right. The bulging sails carried strong power, urging the warships to rush towards Tengtang Gaohu's car.

"Iron cannons!" Tengtang Gaohu gave the order, and two cannons were immediately pushed out from the bow of the warship.

The Japanese warships did not have many cannons, but Tengtang Gaohu's ship had Fo Lang machine guns bought from the red-haired ghost. The Japanese artillerymen were all trained in Macao, and they could charge and reload in one go.

"Boom" "Boom"...!

There were two loud blasts, and a burst of thick smoke came out of the muzzle. Two shells shot out, and the powerful recoil made the warships tremble.

Li Xiao felt a gust of air and flew over the mast of the ship he was riding on. The left side of the ship was suddenly smashed into pieces, and the broken hull fragments flew everywhere. The two soldiers were directly interrupted by the shells, and they were on the deck.

Howling and tossing, blood instantly stained the deck red.

"Return, go back to the island." Sweat ran down Li Xiao's back. Unexpectedly, the Japanese warship actually had cannons, which were solid cannonballs these days, which had relatively little destructive effect on the warship. But if you hit two such cannonballs, you would be stunned.

Even the warships could not hold out.

That bastard Ao Canghai's reaction was not much slower than Li Xiao's. The warship drew a graceful arc, and two cannonballs flew past the Jian Bridge.

The sailors in the bottom cabin rowed hard, causing a series of white foam to rise in the sea water.

"Lord! The Ming warship has escaped. Do you want to pursue it?"

Tengtang Gaohu looked at the scattered warships in the distance. The only ones floating intact on the sea were his own boat and a few ships. He sighed helplessly. Even if he gathered all the ships now, it would be difficult.

I have the same anger as before.

Moreover, each ship suffered heavy casualties. If you want to land on the island and fight, you will still have the same morale as before. "Forget it, let's go back." Tengtang Gaohu helplessly ordered his men.

"Send someone to contact the Ming army and release our prisoners. We can exchange them with Ming maritime merchants!" Looking at the Japanese soldiers still fighting on the island, Tengtang Gaohu ordered again.

These are our own soldiers. The three vassals of Lantau, Satsuma, and Changzhou have always been in alliance. We helped them protect these soldiers, and they could explain to the other two lords when they returned.

I just don’t know if something happened to that boy Shimazu Yoshihiro. If something happened to him, how would he explain it to the Shimadzu family?

Li Xiao's warship escaped back to the harbor and successfully blocked the Japanese soldiers on the dock from behind.
