Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 375

"Now the Japanese are afraid to attack. I suspect they want to attack us at night."

Chen Guangping said to his subordinates: "If the enemy attacks at night, we will be very passive. Some people are not good at marksmanship, so they can only waste the opportunity to shoot and kill the enemy, and let the enemy charge up."

"So, we have to plant the mines before dark."

Chen Guangping said to a subordinate next to him: "You select some people to go out and lay mines. The Japanese are suppressed by the sharpshooters and dare not charge."

Soon, Chen Guangping's words were spread.

Under Chen Guangping's instructions, some people soon walked out of the fence to plant landmines.

Landmines are the latest weapon manufactured by the Machinery Manufacturing Bureau. After the Battle of Ryukyu broke out, Zhang Qingfeng shipped a batch of landmines, grenades and other weapons over.

These weapons were also one of the reasons why Chen Guangping dared to be so arrogant in the Japanese territory.

At the same time, more than thirty sharpshooters were quickly arranged into many five-person combat groups.

In these five-person combat teams, there is one person with outstanding marksmanship. If the enemy dares to attack, the person with good marksmanship will shoot the enemy, while the others only need to be responsible for loading ammunition.

Time passed, and the night was coming soon.

A battle had just been fought during the day, and all the musketeers in the Royal Merchant Hall were ready for battle.

Tonight, there is no moonlight.

When it was completely dark, the Japanese finally made movement outside the shop.

It is impossible for more than 3000 soldiers to move without making a sound.

Soon, the movement of the Japanese alarmed the shop.

Under Chen Guangping's order, everyone quickly prepared for battle.

Many musketeers watched the movements of the surrounding enemies from behind the building of the trade house and the fence.

However, it was pitch black at night, and nothing could be seen at all.

boom!
Just when many people were nervously watching the enemy's movements, a landmine exploded outside the wall.

With the explosion of the landmine, although the flames of the explosion disappeared in a flash, many people saw that many Japanese people had already touched them quietly outside the wall.

Bang bang bang bang!
Just then, many flintlocks also fired.

At the same time, the musketeers behind the wall pulled out their grenades and threw them out of the wall.

Boom boom boom!
Next, there were explosions one after another.

Amidst the explosion, the Japanese screamed again and again.

Taking advantage of the flames of the grenade explosion, the sharpshooters also fired quickly.

Next, the enemies fell to the ground one by one.

At the same time, many musketeers behind the wall took out two short-haired musketeers from their waists and pulled the trigger on the enemy not far away.

At this time, there were still people in the business hall throwing torches into the darkness.

Wherever the torch goes, some Japanese warriors can always be seen.

Bang bang bang bang!
The gunfire continued.

Coupled with the explosion of grenades and the explosion of thin mines when the Japanese stepped on them, this caused heavy losses to the Japanese for a while.

Soon, the Japanese turned around and fled. Such a battle made all the Japanese samurai terrified.

After the Japanese fled, the gunfire on the battlefield stopped soon.

Only some wounded Japanese soldiers screamed outside the fence.

Soon, countless torches were lit in the Japanese barracks in the distance, and Tadaki Shimadzu began to ask his men to count the losses.

It's just that after the loss was counted, Shimadzu Tadakiyo's face turned watery.

He didn't expect that the battle at night would cause more losses than the battle during the day. In just a short time, he lost more than 300 people.

How is this played?
How to fight this?
Even if he finally captures the Daming Royal Merchant Hall, how many people will he die?

one thousand?two thousand?

If so many people will die, what's the point of attacking the Royal Merchant Hall?
What Shimadzu Zhongqing didn't understand was when did Ming's army become so powerful?

If the Ming army had been so powerful in the Korean War more than ten years ago, it wouldn't have fought for so many years?
The next day, Harunobu Arima, who was stationed in Nagasaki, knew the result of this battle.

After hearing that more than 300 people were killed and injured by Satsuma warriors in a short period of time, Arima Harunobu's jaw almost dropped in shock.

"What, you actually killed so many people."

Hearing Shimadzu Tadakiyo's words, Arima Harunobu couldn't believe it.

However, the facts are right in front of you, whether you believe it or not, Arima Haru has to believe it.

"Well, what should we do now? Do you want to continue fighting?" After accepting the reality, Arima Harunobu asked Tadaki Shimadzu.

"We can't fight." Shimazu Tadayoshi shook his head, and then said to Arima Harunobu: "Please also ask Ma Harunobu to send people to continue to surround the Royal Trading Company, and I will lead people to arrest other Ming merchants."

"Arrest other Ming merchants?" Hearing Shimadzu Tadakiyo's words, Arima Harunobu frowned and said, "This is not acceptable. If you arrest other Ming merchants, no Ming merchants will dare to come to Japan to do business in the future."

"Then what should we do? The Satsuma clan lost so much, all because the shogunate let us attack Ryukyu. Now I just want to exchange the family samurai who were captured in Ryukyu with Ming businessmen." Shimadzu Takayoshi Arima Harunobu said.

"I don't care about that. I can't arrest other Ming businessmen anyway." Hearing what Shimadzu Tadakiyo said, Arima Harunobu still shook his head and said.

"Mr. Arima, the reason why the Ming army is so powerful is because of the sharpness of iron cannons. This is something I have never thought of before."

Arima Harunobu of Tadashi Shimadzu said: "The Ming army has such powerful iron cannons. Why don't we join forces and snatch them away? I don't believe that we can attack with 6000 people at the same time, but we can't do anything to a mere [-] Ming troops."

Hearing Shimadzu Tadakiyo's words, Arima Harunobu fell into thought.

They only discovered the sharpness of the Ming army's firearms in the past two days. If the Satsuma clan had not attacked the Royal Commercial Building, they would not have known that the Ming army had such powerful weapons.

They naturally want to own such a powerful weapon, so it is undoubtedly the best way to grab it and imitate it.

As long as Japan also masters such a powerful weapon, it will have the confidence to face Ming Dynasty in the future.

"Okay, let's use 6000 people to attack at the same time, and there are only more than 300 people on the other side. I really don't believe how much they can kill. I believe that as long as we let our people rush in, they will have no choice but to restrain them." Harunobu Arima agreed with Shimadzu Zhongqing said.

"How about this, Arima-kun, how about your people attacking the south and west sides, and my people attacking the east and north main gates?" Shimadzu Tadashi asked Arima Harunobu.

"Okay, I'll go gather the troops right away," Arima Harunobu said.

Soon, Arima Harunobu left the Satsuma domain's garrison, and then headed for his own barracks.

Called by Arima Harunobu, soon, three thousand shogunate samurai stationed in Nagasaki Port came to Nagasaki City, and then deployed on the southwest sides of the Royal Commercial Hall.

From the high place of the business hall, Chen Guangping also saw the big movement of the Japanese.

"The big thing is not good." Chen Guangping muttered to himself.

"Give me the order to move out all the grenades and distribute them." Chen Guangping issued the order.
