"Strike!"

At the moment of the ugly moment, it was the darkest time of the day. At this time, the sky was already empty, and the stars were already empty. It was already silence of the earth. Even the sound of insects was not heard, and there was a suffocating atmosphere of depression. However, Tokugawa Ichiki obviously didn't care. Instead, he enjoyed the depression and tension before the war was about to come. But when he saw him stick out his tongue, licking his shriveled lips ferociously, waved his hand, and lowered his voice and shouted in a low voice.

With the order of Tokugawa Ichiki, the two thousand Japanese soldiers who had been ready for a long time immediately spread to the hill where the Qing army was located like a tide. Thousands of people did not make too loud noises during the operation. It was obvious that all the soldiers' soles were wrapped in thick cotton cloth.

"beat!"

The distance of one mile was not far. Even if the Japanese army was not very fast, it was only half a stick of incense. The army had already arrived at the hillside. When the sneaking Japanese army stood up straight and was about to launch a crazy rush towards the Qing army camp on the hillside, a sudden sound of shouting suddenly broke out, instantly knocking the silence of night to pieces.

“Bo, Bo, Bo…”

On the side of the mountain, rows of muzzles that had already aimed at the black holes at the foot of the mountain instantly spewed out gorgeous gun flames, one after another, and in the burst of gunfire, countless bullets gathered into a net of death, wantonly harvesting the lives of Japanese soldiers. In just a moment, the Japanese vanguard who had not yet rushed to speed had been knocked down by flying bullets, and the rest were all in chaos.

"Roar, rush for me, kill up the mountain and wipe out the Chinese dogs!"

Tokugawa Ichiki did not walk at the forefront of the army, but personally led the main force to walk in the central military headquarters in the queue. Seeing that the gun flames on the mountainside were lit up, how could he not know that his sneak attack had been decided by the Qing army. However, he did not intend to retreat, but pulled out the samurai sword hanging from his waist and shouted to issue a decisive attack order.

"Machine gunner, open fire on me!"

When Akiyama, who was personally under the left wing, saw that the Japanese army did not retreat but advanced, he immediately became angry. He shot with a gun while roaring and roaring.

“Tututu…”

After Akiyama ordered this, more than a dozen machine guns that had been silent began to show their power, splashing a burst of bullets on the Japanese soldiers rushing towards them. The fierce firepower instantly covered most of the hillside. The Japanese soldiers who wanted to rush up the hillside fell like wheat cut by a sickle.

"Send a signal and let the right wing launch a strong attack immediately!"

At the camp of the Japanese coalition, Honda Juntaro, wearing armor, did not sit in the central army's tent, but stood at the camp gate. When he heard the left-wing gunshots in the Qing army camp suddenly burst into great force, his brows frowned, but he did not show any panic. After a little consideration, he waved his hand and issued a loud order.

"Hayi!"

Honda Juntaro's order was obviously very different from the scheduled plan, but the messenger who was attending the side did not dare to ask more questions. He quickly responded to No. 1, and then raised his hand and threw a signal flare into the air. But after a muffled sound, a blood-red fireworks exploded brightly in the air.

"Get out and kill all the Chinese dogs!"

Around the right wing of the Qing army was ambushed. The 2,500 vassal coalition forces commanded by Shino Moriji Shino. Seeing the signal bomb in his camp exploded, Shino Moriji's heart couldn't help but pull away. It was only because according to the scheduled plan that the right-wing ambush he led should have suddenly entered the battlefield when the Qing army was attracted by the attack from the left wing, so as to achieve a grand act of defeating the Qing army's resistance in one fell swoop. However, the gunshots from the left wing were just around the corner, and it was obvious that it was not yet time for the scheduled attack. Freedom could not hesitate for him. However, since the Central Military Office had issued an order, Shino Moriji Shino's heart even if he had many doubts in his heart, he definitely did not dare to violate the order of Juntaro Honta. However, seeing him pulling out the samurai sword from his waist, slashing forward with a ferocious expression, and roaring and roaring.

“Tututu…”

I don't know if the Qing army was really attracted by the offensive of the left wing of the Japanese army. Shino Moriji led his troops to rush through the open area in front of the Qing army camp and rushed to the hillside without any danger. The forward even rushed up the hillside. After another rushing, it was enough to rush into the Qing army's camp from the rear. Unfortunately, such a short distance was a dead end for Shino Moriji's troops. Just as Shino Moriji thought he was sure to win, more than a dozen gun flames flashed wildly on the side of the mountain, and it turned out that dozens of machine guns were exerting their power at the same time.

"Crush, rush for me, those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Amid the sudden burst of gunfire, nearly a hundred Japanese vanguards who rushed the fastest were beaten into sieve on the spot. The Japanese army's wild charge immediately stopped. As soon as they saw this, Moriji Shirno's eyes were red and his roared and drove the fierce and fierce rush. Even if the Qing army's bullets were swept down one after another, they would never retreat.

"The gun soldiers came forward to suppress the firepower of the Chinese people, and the crossbowman followed and shot me!"

On the left-wing battlefield, the Japanese vanguard who launched the charge was indefinitely injured. More than 200 Japanese soldiers were knocked to the ground by the powerful firepower of the Qing army. They were either killed or injured. However, even so, they still couldn't escape the short fifty-step distance between the two armies. When they saw this, Tokugawa was a little overwhelmed. He gritted his teeth and sent the most elite gunmen and archers in his vassal to the front, trying to fight against the Qing army with firepower.

"Dong, dun, dun..."

The Japanese army also had firearms. The gun soldiers used the old style of the guns. The gun body was thick and long and loaded with black gunpowder. As for the bullets, they were many small steel balls, which were not small. They were similar to the shotguns of later generations. They were just troublesome to load, but the shooting speed was also slow. They had to use the fuse to ignite the wires on the guns, and they had to keep the gun body stable during shooting. It was obvious that in such a fierce firefight, the Japanese gun soldiers could play a role that was not too great. Before these Japanese gun soldiers could stand up, most of them were swept down by the fierce firepower of the Qing army. However, the Japanese were always cruel. Despite the heavy casualties, more than twenty Japanese gun soldiers successfully fired the melee guns. But after a muffled sound, countless small steel balls covered the Qing army's positions like heavy rain.

"Machine gunner, kill those Japanese slaves who carry guns for me!"

The convex gun was not far away. At this time, the two sides were about fifty steps apart, and they were on the edge of the effective coverage of the convex gun. When many small steel balls flew to the Qing army trenches, their power was already limited. However, even so, the bullet rain still injured more than 20 Qing army soldiers in front of them. In an instant, a scream sounded at the hillside, and the dense firepower of the Qing army was also chaotic. As soon as they saw this, Qiushan was angry, kicked the machine gunner beside him, and shouted in anger.

“Tututu…”

After being kicked by Qiushan, the machine gunner did not dare to neglect it. He quickly tilted the gun and swept across the bullet where the previous fire was, and instantly shot most of the Japanese gunmen who had not yet been able to withdraw.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

Although the Japanese gun soldiers were almost wiped out by the fierce firepower of the Qing army, they successfully bought precious time and space for the Japanese crossbowmen who followed closely. However, with the sound of bowstrings, more than 200 feather arrows roared through the night sky and landed densely like locusts to the place where the Qing army trenches were.

Casualties inevitably appeared. More than 20 Qing soldiers who could not dodge were shot like hedgehogs by arrows on the spot. The screams suddenly sounded. The firepower in the middle of the battlefield was inevitably weak, and it was difficult to block the Japanese soldiers' rushing wildly.

"Pitching grenade!"

As soon as the gunshots in the middle of the battlefield suddenly weakened, Akiyama immediately determined that it was difficult to stop the charge of the Japanese soldiers. He dared not neglect them, so he quickly shouted loudly.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

With Qiushan's orders, the Qing soldiers on both sides of the battlefield immediately took off the long-handled grenades inserted on the belt of the waist, pulled the strings, and threw them down the mountain in a mess. When balls of flames exploded from the charge queue of the Japanese soldiers, shrapnel flew everywhere, blowing the Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard, and the charge momentum that the Japanese soldiers had just emerged was immediately forcibly curbed.

The charge of the left-wing Tokugawa Ichiki's troops failed, and the right-wing Moriji Shino also failed to gain any advantage in the hands of the Qing army. The casualties were heavy. However, these two Japanese troops were violent and they continued to charge towards the Qing army's positions, relying on their frenzied blood, they approached the Qing army's positions step by step in the face of the Qing army's guns and bullets.

"Draw the sword and drive the Japanese dog down the mountain!"

Seeing that he could not suppress the charge of the Japanese army, Qiushan became anxious immediately. If the Japanese army was rushed into the position, the Qing army officers and soldiers in the trenches would be at a disadvantage in the trenches. The consequences would not be easy to play. Qiushan did not dare to take such a dangerous situation. Then he shouted and led his troops out of the trenches, and rushed into the Japanese army's charge line like a tiger down the mountain. The extremely fierce hand-to-hand combat began!

"Everyone gets on the horse, come with me!"
