.The two armies had only a few minutes to actually exchange fire. The shogunate army, which seemed to have a huge lineup but was actually vulnerable, was defeated in a mess.

In the dazzling sunshine in the early summer afternoon, thousands of shogunate soldiers discarded their arms, dry food and ammunition, and ran towards the suburbs in a mess. The various armed forces from all directions followed the defeated army leisurely and fired a few shots from time to time. It seemed that they were not on a tragic battlefield. Instead, they were participating in a leisurely hunting, and were about to easily capture prey.

Fortunately, despite the tide of wind and defeat, someone would finally stand up to turn the tide. When tens of thousands of shogunate troops collapsed and were about to be completely driven out of Kyoto city, the 1,000 Naserel Marines, who were originally on standby in the camp outside the suburbs, finally rushed into the frontier war zone by force and took action to rescue the ground in time.

Avoiding the chaotic crowds of soldiers on the streets that seemed like a flood, relying on auxiliary spells such as "Cat's Elegant Leopard's Agile Owl's Insight" blessed by the military mage, they quietly flexibly advanced between the houses, streets and fences, cleverly used various terrain to hide themselves, and occasionally launched a series of precise shootings at the chasing enemy soldiers, allowing the Satsuma soldiers who were rushing in the front to continue to be shot and fall, making the originally leisurely hunting a real battle again. The combat qualities of the Western regular army are not comparable to those of the counterfeit goods such as the Japanese island countries.

Seeing the Satsuma soldiers who were leading the battle suddenly appeared in large numbers. The ronin, monk soldiers and court officials who followed behind to rob, hesitate to slow down. Although they were under the seemingly noble title of "The Conquering the Curtain", they were just a group of unorganized and undisciplined mobs, at most they were very brave and insane.

So, don't expect them to use their flesh and blood to resist the bullets.

As the main force of the Shogun Army, despite the deaths and injuries, the Satsuma soldiers were still unwilling to give up this opportunity to easily damage the Shogun Army. "In any war, the large-scale massacre of the defeated side by the winner is basically born in pursuing and defeating the enemy, rather than fighting head-on. If you cannot take advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, the significance of this victory will inevitably be greatly reduced. Because the opponent's casualties are not large, as long as you have a chance to breathe, you can reorganize the army and fight again. Even if your companions are constantly being shot and fall, they will continue to take steps and pursue with the Shogun Army's defeated soldiers with the sword of their superiors. They will launch zero-distance hand-to-hand melee battles, leaving the opponent's firepower advantage unavailable.

However, the artillery of the Naserel Marine Corps had already advanced to the edge of the war zone at this time. Just as the Satsuma soldiers began to regroup and prepare to charge, the fields of flowering bullets, incendiary bombs and solid bullets were dragging long screams, exploding in their queues.

In an instant, flesh and bones passed by in the air and splashed onto the walls with shrapnel. What's worse, because they were surrounded by buildings and were crowded on the streets, the gravel, bricks and wood chips that were blown away brought them even more severe secondary damages." Then, a sad moan sounded on the broken streets. Although there were not many real dead, those seriously injured with blood and even missing arms and legs had to consume more people to transport and take care of them.

Facing the brave and combat-ready elite soldiers, shooting in advance is equivalent to wasting ammunition, and giving up the opportunity for effective strikes. However, if you encounter a group of mobs, you can destroy their weak will and morale in advance, and strongly interfere with their clumsy resistance and counterattack.

Looking at the black barrel that was aiming at his own flame-spraying tongue, the forefront of the shogun soldiers all trembled and their movements were stiff and deformed. The usual scraping training of three or four minutes was not even a minute. However, the Satsuma Army was still moving forward slowly and firmly, constantly shooting standard three-stage strikes. Soon. The distance between the two sides was shortened to 100 steps, and the shogun army began to suffer a large number of casualties, but they only had time to launch some messy counterattacks. Even a relatively neat round of gun rogue was unable to successfully organize. "Oh, what a hell, most of your people were shooting with their eyes closed. Are they shooting people or birds?"

Regarding the "miracle scene in the battlefield that I saw through Hawkeye's technique, Leo couldn't help but sigh like moaning. I think it is necessary for you to send a military police team to the front line to supervise the battle! Dear Lord Mitsui!"

Haha, let's forget it." Shogunate old man Mitsui Ginji smiled bitterly, anyway, even if they opened their eyes, their hit rate would probably not be much better. According to the latest survey results, since this group of soldiers was recruited half a year ago, each of them had only fired ten live ammunitions during training. The off-target rate was as high as more than half. Many people went up to Asuka to colleagues, and residents near the barracks, and almost everything was hit. But when the army applied for the exercise fee to the shogunate, hehe, he reported the bill according to the consumption of 300 bullets per person! And when I was observing the exercise, I used magic to replace the target to make a fake. "

Leo was speechless for a moment and then squeezed out a sentence for a while. "It seems that it is really necessary to give them a profound teaching, for example, to hang all these poorly aged recruits and their instructors on the hook," he said.

You are so right!”

Mitsui Ginji clapped his hands quite exaggeratedly in the shogunate. Basically everyone knows that shooting a group of samurai warriors and family members regularly will help improve the combat effectiveness of the army. "But", this shogunate is already rotten!"

He spread his hands weakly and shrugged, "If I really want to implement this severe punishment, then the first guy who was pulled out and shot for five minutes might be myself.

Leo was stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood what the other party meant. Nowadays, the Edo shogunate is full of typical old officials. These people don’t have much ability to do things, but are extremely proficient in shirking responsibility, robbing credit and turning black and white. To put it bluntly, they not only occupy the pit and don’t poop, but also force others to pull themselves in their crotch.

Although the Great Resistance Merchants used the "God" family to produce an idiot general, and the major families of the Shogunate's great families were extremely weak due to civil strife. With the support of the Yajin Church and the Naserel Far Eastern Army, they temporarily controlled the shogunate government. However, facing such a mess with external troubles, it was difficult to innovate for a while. What's more, the husband's tyrants had a close connection with the shogunate. It was not considered a real new force. It was much more difficult to get new wine in old bottles than to break it up.

The most fatal point is that the Daguan merchant group is not united enough. Although Mitsui Ginji is named Xi Laozhao, his real power is far from comparable to the former shoguns. Even if he is determined to win back the situation, he can only work hard for the shoguns to be the messenger for the broken house of the shoguns.

Amid the guns and shouts of killing, the two poor old men with bad luck exchanged glances with each other in great tragic manner, then turned their heads helplessly and continued to watch the shogunate smile on the battlefield.

At this moment, another round of larger collapse of the shogunate army was slowly beginning to show signs.

In this fierce musket shooting, the front line of the real fire exchange was limited to narrow streets, so there were not many front-line combatants bathing in the rain of bullets on both sides. However, as some dead and wounded were carried off from the front by the health soldiers, the sticky blood flowing along the way was shocking. The enemy obviously used the terrible Dam bullet, because the inlet on the corpse was just a small eye. But the bullet outlet was as big as the mouth of the bowl, which made the soldiers crowded behind feel extremely frightened and frightened.

Taking advantage of the extremely chaotic battlefield environment, some timid soldiers began to sneak into the house next to them, then sneak out of the door to other blocks, and ran away in groups to escape from this ghost place that could be killed at any time.

Then, this phenomenon of escape in the last battle quickly spread. Many teams even escaped in the blink of an eye.

Even those soldiers who were still insisting on not escaping were already in a state of fluctuation, and they were constantly clamoring, and they refused to venture into the front line to catch the enemy and fire. Even if the officers waved their sharp swords and intimidated, they were still useless. The soldiers turned a deaf ear to these rebukes and insults, but they just said, "I didn't know how to use them to say that Xunshu's different body clams were curled up in the corner of the wall, and they were so anxious that they could not help but push them directly onto their boss's forehead!"

"What a group of cowardly farmers! They are simply unreliable!"

Seeing that all his subordinates had fled, a moldy infantry squad leader couldn't help but curse in resentment.

This guy is inlaid with gold and jade, a breastplate with magical inspiration, a helmet decorated with large gemstones and ivory sculptures. The family emblem embroidered with gold threads behind his military uniforms all show that this man was born in a noble family of warriors, and is indeed qualified to despise and curse those cowards who were still digging food in the ground half a year ago but now he is fleeing in a hurry.

But he forgot that he was just a bad commander who had no military knowledge and was completely incompetent, and was driven back by the military police just now because of his escape.

In fact, when the shogunate troops fled one after another without a single shot, the outcome of this battle was clear.

Soon, the tide of collapse spread from the rear to the front line. Before the forefront, the shogunate troops entered the hand-to-hand combat, people turned around and ran one after another, and then they threw away the ordnance and ammunition in their sacks and fled with officers. The road was narrow and tortuous, the number of defeated soldiers who died of trampling on each other was several times that of those who died in battle!

Fortunately, they have at least one reliable ally.

The Naserel Marine Corps, which had replenished ammunition and replaced the barrel, had just returned to the battlefield when they saw the inexpensive allies defeated again and had to grit their teeth to cover them again. The barrel was poked out from the corners of the walls and windows, and spit out the flames of death at the chasing Satsuma soldiers.

In the rear, the artillery had also completed the transfer of positions, determined the target, and began to continuously and violent bombardment. Sequentially, incendiary bombs roared one after another, and once again set off violent waves and flames on the streets that had already turned into ruins. All the wooden structures in the ruins and the branches of trees cut by shrapnel air waves all caught fire and burned, reflecting the entire street and nearby buildings red.

Relying on the rain of bullets like thunderstorms, the Naserel Marines successfully built a blazing fire net, turning the narrow streets into an almost insurmountable death channel. After two unsuccessful charges, they left behind hundreds of black corpses and finally gave up their attempt to chase and annihilate the remaining enemies in disappointment, and then retreated for a distance to avoid enemy artillery fire.

In fact, this kind of unconcerned high-intensity shooting quickly caused the Naserel Marines to hold all their carry-on ammunition. The artillery outside was forced to temporarily stop the artillery after several rounds of emergency fire due to the high firing frequency and the gun bore being overheated. If the Mu armed forces attacked again, the Naserel Marines, with only a few hundred Naserel Marines, were likely to be easily defeated in hand-to-hand combat.

However, although it was equipped with many Western weapons, it was the first time that the Satsuma soldiers experienced a large-scale hot weapon war, and they did not have such skillful judgment and analysis skills, and they lacked sufficient experience and teaching. Therefore, they were frightened by the high-intensity firepower network that seemed fierce but actually could not last long. They gave up the opportunity to further expand the results of the war.

However, they are still winners after all. Although this victory is not thorough enough at the moment.

No matter how bad Wei Yun or unfortunate it was, the shogunate army with more than 10,000 troops during the attack, finally more than 5,000 remaining troops survived, and ran out of the city in a mess, fled back to the expedition of the siege. As for the other half of the soldiers, most of them slipped out of the battlefield by wandering away. The real martyrs who died in battle may not be more than 1,000.

Originally, when the war was defeated on the front line, the shogunate generals who stayed in the rear command "remote control command" were basically determined to retreat. However, seeing that their side seemed to have a lot of troops, and the artillery and cavalry were still intact, they immediately had a debate about whether to fight or retreat. They all knew very well that the scale and energy of this wave of wave openly launched by the court were far from comparable to the rogue organization or the rebellion of local vassal states in the past. If they could not be pampered and killed in time, then as time went by, there would inevitably be more and more princes or temples that responded to the court's call for aid and aided documents, and the shogunate army would become more and more difficult to suppress," in the end. It was possible that the whole country would be rebelled.

.

Therefore, no matter how slim the future is, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, the generals of the shogunate army still want to extinguish the disaster in the shortest time. At present, there are still 5,000 troops, and it is impossible to attack the city, but it is still possible to find a hill or city block near Kyoto and hold on for a few days. As long as a shogunate army can be firmly nailed to Kyoto, the princes of various places will generally not rush to stand in line to express their opinions immediately, but will continue to watch, making the Maku camp unable to expand explosively. Then, the shogunate will have the opportunity to mobilize more troops and basically compress the area affected by the war in Kyoto, rather than letting the war detonation across the country, causing a major unrest that no one can control.

However, with the current morale, lineup and actual combat effectiveness of the Shogunate Army, and the desire to gain a foothold in Kyoto where the inverse forces are about to gather, it would be a bit too difficult. No matter how clever the strategy and tactics are, it would be useless without strong capital.

In short, this unrealistic delusion caused the senior leaders of the shogunate army to argue and delay a lot of time. It also made them lose the last opportunity to gather the remaining troops and safely withdraw from the battlefield.

So, when the sun sets west and twilight is about to fall on the earth, a new round of blows comes one after another. As the temperature turns cooler, my thinking ability seems to have recovered. Due to the previous poor health, there are too few updates in these two months. I will say sorry to all enthusiastic readers again.

Next month, Lao Lao Wang is expected to be able to update slightly regularly. Although daily updates are still difficult, two or three days a chapter should be guaranteed.
