"The night attack on the opposite side was indeed just a bluff. There were not many corpses when they came down the ravines overnight." Tadashi Tadashi Tadashi was scattering rice while observing the traces of the battlefield.

Behind him, the leader was adding rice to miso to make rice balls to cope with the use in the afternoon or evening.

"They also started cooking with stoves. Why bother making the night noises that made everyone exhausted. Next, we divided into two groups of people to take turns to defend, so that they could rest and recuperate. We must not let them have the opportunity to take advantage of it." Lu Xiangsheng was also cooking rice, with almost only radish and wild vegetables in the rice.

It is good to be able to eat rice on the battlefield, but many poor people come to participate in the war just to eat rice.

"It should be just to exhaust us..."

Da, da! Before Tadashi Tadashi Tadashi finished speaking, the sound of a mobile machine gun came from the trail in the back mountain, which made him shake his hand holding the wooden box slightly!

Such a dense and loud sound of metal bullets! The shogunate soldiers who were cooking or eating couldn't help but get up and grabbed the musket beside them, looking nervously in the direction where the sound of the machine guns was heard.

"It seems that there is an enemy attack on the back mountain. I will take a team to support you." Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of rice and put the wooden box aside.

"I'll go with you!" Tadashi Tadashi Tadashi also put down the wooden box.

"If there is an enemy sneak attack in the back mountain, then the frontal enemy will soon launch a strong attack, and you stay here to command." Lu Xiangsheng handed over the task of temporarily defending the frontal battlefield to Tachihua Zhongmao. The military talents of the people of the Tachihua family made him trust Hua Zhongmao quite trustworthy.

"Yes!" Tachihua Zhongmao admired this Chinese general who dared to fight alone and had a bunch of firearms that were too good.

After clearing out several open posts deployed by Lu Xiangsheng, the raid teams led by Miyamoto Musashi and Ida Tadaruo were discovered by hidden whistles hidden in a hidden place. The temporary hand-cranked machine gun fired in time, suppressing Miyamoto Musashi and others from lifting their heads.

"What is that? Why can projectiles be shot continuously?!" Tadazon Ida hid behind the huge rock and was frightened when he saw the hand-cranking machine gun emitting white smoke.

At his feet, a samurai was not aware of the power of the hand-cranked machine gun, so he pulled out his samurai sword and rushed straight towards the machine gunman. In the end, he was instantly hit by dozens of metal bullets and turned into a sieve.

Such terrifying power made other warriors frightened and did not care about charging, but searched for obstacles on the spot and hid.

"The raid plan failed, prepare to retreat!" Tada Tadazo was frightened by the cranked machine gun and said to Miyamoto Musashi who was hiding on the other side of the mountain road.

"As a swordsman, it is really unwilling to leave in a hurry!" Miyamoto Musashi was unwilling to accept it.

"The moment the enemy was discovered, the sneak attack turned into a strong attack, which was not in line with the art of war!" Tador Ida followed his father Masato Ida and learned the art of war, knowing that he could not continue to stay for more time.

When the raid team was blocked, the garrison team in the back mountain was actually even more nervous.

Lu Xiangsheng only brought dozens of Chinese soldiers, Lihua Zhongmao had a garrison of 500 people, and other vassal lords or retainers with few troops left behind, with only about 500 people in total.

The defense force of the Goyama Mountain Road was held by retainers of the Tosa family of Shikoku Island, as well as machine gunners transferred by Lu Xiangsheng and two auxiliary soldiers.

The machine gunner was sweating profusely and helped his soldiers replace the machine gun with a new magazine.

"Nani, what kind of monster is this!"

The two retainers of Tosa Fen Yamauchi, who were originally responsible for defending the Yamada, were also shocked by the power of the hand-cranked machine gun. They looked at the three Kyushu soldiers and the hand-cranked machine guns who operated the hand-cranked machine guns, as if they were watching a monster.

The assault team of the shogunate didn't know how powerful the machine gun was. Several people were shot and killed by the machine gun during the charge. The tragic situation at that time made these friendly troops vividly remember it.

For a moment, both sides did not dare to move.

The machine gunners did not continue to fire after the enemy was hidden. Although the machine gun's power and deterrence were great, the speed of the mouse bullet was also amazing. Lu Xiangsheng and others were prepared for a protracted battle and were very cautious in using the machine gun.

"How is the situation? How many enemies are touched?" Lu Xiangsheng asked after rushing to the back mountain.

"There are about a hundred enemies. After we used machine guns, they all hid in a hidden place." The machine gunner reported to Lu Xiangsheng. After Lu Xiangsheng's reinforcements arrived, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and had time to wipe his sweat.

He was ordered to come to the back mountain trail with a hand-cranked machine gun. At that time, because time was in a hurry, there were no more magazines and bullets. If the warriors rushed forward against obstacles in the mountains and forests, the hand-cranked machine gun might become the first machine gun to be captured by the enemy.

"More than a hundred people... asked them to put down their weapons and surrender, otherwise they wouldn't be able to leave so easily!" Lu Xiangsheng said to the translator.

"On the enemy, our general said that if you are willing to surrender, we will give you preferential treatment and will not harm your lives!" The translator shouted to Miyamoto Musashi and others.

"He wants us to surrender? How could our Ida family surrender to them like this! The Ida family only had samurai killed in battle, but no surrendered warriors!" Tadazon Ida was a little annoyed when he heard the translator's voice.

"They are humiliating us!" Miyamoto Musashi suddenly became louder and shouted, "Let your generals come out to duel with me. I missed the opportunity to fight with Chinese martial artists forty years ago. I want to experience Chinese martial arts this time!"

The audience was silent. The members of the raid team looked at Miyamoto Musashi, while the members of the garrison looked at Lu Xiangsheng.

"What is that person shouting?" Lu Xiangsheng didn't understand Japanese, and only heard a slightly hoarse voice coming from the enemy formation, looking at the translator.

"It seems that the enemy general is calling, and he requests to fight with you alone." The translator hesitated to explain to Lu Xiangsheng, wondering if Lu Xiangsheng would be eager to agree to the other party's challenge.

This is the first time that the shogunate generals have issued a one-on-one challenge to the Chinese generals.

"He thought beautifully. Now is the era of firearms. There are muskets and people who use cold weapons to show off? I still have to stick to the complete winter in Wushan and feel disgusting them to death. How can I take risks after completing the task assigned to me by the military leader?" Lu Xiangsheng also practiced martial arts in daily life, and even learned the skills of using bayonets after equipping with rifles. He had confidence in his melee ability, but he would not risk accepting a single challenge from a stranger.

If he died in battle here, the position of Shishan would probably collapse.

"Let them choose to surrender, otherwise we will organize an attack!" Lu Xiangsheng rejected Miyamoto Musashi's invitation to fight. He was a little worried that the enemy on the front battlefield would take advantage of this opportunity to attack.
