The two sides began to act, and when the main force of the Hua army contacted the troops of the Kumamoto domain, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's troops also arrived at the foot of the castle mountain and launched an attack.

The last time it was the Huajun attacking, he was defending, this time, the offensive and defensive positions of both sides changed.

Cannons sounded.

For the sake of this war, Shimadzu Mitsuhisa moved out all the old foundations without any reservations.

After being pieced together by him, he was stunned to collect more than 40 artillery pieces.

However, among his artillery pieces, only a few of them are large-caliber cannons at the level of red-clothed cannons.

The rest are bowl-mouth cannons, which are similar to Dahua's previous Thunder Cannons, with very small muzzles and very light gun bodies, making them easy to carry.

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

However, these bowl guns have an advantage, that is, they do not fire solid bullets, but a large number of small iron beads.

Although the hit rate is extremely low, there are hundreds of small iron beads in one shot, and the lethality is also amazing in the face of dense enemies.

It was the heavy artillery pieces that sounded first, and only these few pieces of artillery could hit that far.

There are only a few guns, and there is almost no threat to the Chinese army.

The role of these guns is more like the Fuso people use 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, it's hard to say.

Whether these muskets are easy to use with swords is a question.

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

All over the mountains and plains are enemies, and the artillery of the Chinese army also rang.

In fact, their cannons were just able to hit the enemy, but in order to attract the enemy to charge, the Huajun simply did not fire.

And now that the Fuso people have launched an attack, they can fire as much as they like.

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

What is more terrifying than the momentum is naturally the lethality.

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

If there is enough separation between soldiers, in fact, with the current power of artillery, the lethality is extremely limited.

Even in the face of the artillery of later generations, as long as a large distance is maintained, casualties can be greatly reduced.

But the problem is that the military of most countries and regions are still in the era of cold weapons, and they have little experience in fighting a large number of artillery pieces.

If you haven't experienced it, you can't sum up the experience of dealing with artillery.

Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's troops rushed up the mountain in a very dense formation, and the shells landed among them, causing a huge blast.

This is also due to the small number of artillery pieces in Dahua. If hundreds of artillery pieces are arranged, no infantry is needed, and those pieces of artillery pieces alone can blast the enemy to the point of collapse.

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

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

The gunshots sounded, and Fuso Samurai's nightmare began.

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

Shimadzu's solution is to rely on many people.

No matter how powerful the Huajun's rifle is, it always has to be used by someone. One 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 enemy killed is limited. As long as your own soldiers are far greater than the number of bullets, you can rush to the enemy after killing a group of soldiers.

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

There are more than 1,000 people, and it is not easy to defend such a wide position.

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

The Fuso warriors kept charging, and some people with guns, after entering the range, also aimed at the Chinese army and began to shoot.

It's just that they all used muskets, and none of them were accurate.

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

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

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

Except for a few unfortunate soldiers who were hit by their grandmother's house, the others continued to shoot like no one else.

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

The probability of being hit by enemy bullets is about the same as the probability of blowing up a rifle in your hand.

The Fuso samurai armed with guns also discovered this embarrassing problem after firing a few shots.

Same gun, just a big difference.

As a result, some samurai simply gave up the long-range effect of this gun and rushed forward, preparing for close combat.

Some of the more intelligent warriors continued to shoot from a distance, knowing that they would miss the hit.

After all, the farther away from the Huajun, the lower the risk factor.

Those Chinese troops are all giving priority to attacking closer to themselves

people.

Whether it can hit the enemy or not is not important, it can reduce the probability of being hit by the enemy, and this effect is already good.

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

On the battlefield, some officers in charge of the command also kept observing the war, and slowly accumulated and summed up experience.

They found that on the way to charge, change the route from time to time, don't always walk in a straight line, the enemy will 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 battle, and some people know to find the dead angle of the Chinese army when they charge.

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 position.

In this way, they continued to approach the Huajun's position.

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

This method is actually very effective. If the Huajun wants to shoot these soldiers, the difficulty is directly increased several times.

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

And now, the officers haven't come up with a good solution for the time being, and they're still making them run out of ideas. Therefore, most of the samurai are rushing without thinking.

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