Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 376 tragic
Under Chen Guangping's order, all the grenades were quickly removed and distributed to the soldiers inside the outer wall.

When the enemy attacks, these grenades will be of great use.

On the other side, Arima Harunobu and Shimadzu Tadakiyo quickly prepared to attack.

dong dong dong dong!
With the sound of intensive drums, countless densely packed Japanese soldiers rushed out from all directions, and then quickly came towards the Royal Commercial Building.

Some of these Japanese soldiers carried shields, some carried rifles, and most of them carried cold weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

Bang bang bang bang!

The next moment, the sound of countless flintlock shots sounded, and at least dozens of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground for a while.

However, there were too many Japanese attacking this time, and three hundred flintlock guns couldn't kill them at all.

Fortunately, this time it was the sharpshooter with better marksmanship who shot, and others helped reload the ammunition quickly.

Just when the Japanese rushed within 20 meters, dozens of sharpshooters each shot down at least several Japanese soldiers, numbering one or two hundred.

However, one or two hundred Japanese soldiers is only a drop in the bucket compared to the number of six thousand.

"Kill~"

The Japanese soldiers rushing forward were very excited, waving their weapons and rushing forward screaming.

boom!boom!boom!
However, just when the Japanese soldiers ran within 20 meters of the wall of the Royal Commercial Building, a violent explosion sounded.

It turned out that a mine buried in the soil was detonated.

The shocking power of the landmine explosion immediately halted the Japanese army's attack. Countless shrapnel and shock waves caused heavy losses to the Japanese samurai who rushed at the front.

Some Japanese samurai in the center of the explosion were even blown to pieces by the power of the mine explosion, and their limbs and arms were scattered everywhere for a while.

Such a scene frightened the Japanese soldiers attacking from behind, and many of them wanted to turn around and run away.

However, the charge of so many people is not easy to retreat if they want to. There are more people charging forward behind them. This is like a mudslide, which will engulf the people in front and continue to move forward.

bang bang bang bang bang bang...

The next moment, the musketeers at the very back of the wall took out their two short firearms one after another, and quickly poured a wave of firepower at the enemy, killing many Japanese soldiers at once.

"Throw a grenade."

Seeing that the enemy had rushed within ten meters of the wall, the musketeers began to light the fuzes of the grenades with torches, and then threw them at the Japanese soldiers not far away.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

Next, a series of explosions sounded.

Suddenly, clusters of black smoke rose in the open space in front of the outer wall.

Although the power of a grenade explosion is not as huge as a landmine, it is better in quantity.

In a moment, at least more than 300 grenades exploded among the dense Japanese soldiers. In just an instant, a large number of Japanese soldiers fell down.

This time, almost all the Japanese soldiers were terrified, and they turned around and ran away one after another, no longer caring about anything else.

Seeing such a scene on the roof in the distance, Arima Harunobu and Shimadzu Tadakiyo were stunned.

"What kind of weapon is this?" Arima Harunobu said in horror.

In this era, grenades had not yet appeared. Any thunderbolts recorded in history were extremely huge and could only be used when guarding tall city walls.

Just as the two of them stared at everything dumbfounded, soon all the Japanese soldiers retreated.

"Go and count the losses." Arima Harunobu said to a general beside him.

It was more than an hour before the damage from the attack was tallied.

"General, in this battle, our side suffered 770 casualties." A Japanese general reported to Arima Harunobu and Shimadzu Tadakiyoshi.

Hearing this number, Arima Harunobu and Shimadzu Tadakiyo fell into silence. This is too tragic. Including the people who died in battle yesterday, there are more than 1000 people.

No one expected that this attack would cost so many people in just a short time.

"Arima-kun, use the artillery, otherwise we won't be able to fight at all." Shimadzu Takayoshi Arima Harunobu said.

When he spoke, he gritted his teeth, obviously hating the Ming army very much.

Hearing Shimadzu Tadakiyo's words, Arima Harunobu nodded, and then gave the order: "Go, bring our artillery here."

The artillery was used, obviously to fight the Ming army forever.

Before the artillery was used, they were still thinking about capturing prisoners and then exchanging hostages with Emperor Wanli.

It's different now with cannons, obviously it's going to ignore casualties.

Under the order of Arima Harunobu, dozens of cannons were transported from Nagasaki Port soon, and then erected outside the Royal Commercial Hall.

"The Japanese really used artillery."

Naturally, this situation could not be hidden from Chen Guangping inside the commercial building. After he discovered the artillery set up by the Japanese, he curled his lips and did not take it to heart.

"Everyone hide well and don't show your head. If the Japanese dare to attack, keep throwing grenades." Chen Guangping said to his subordinates.

He had expected that the enemy would use artillery, so he had people build many bunkers in the trading hall. After the Ryukyu incident, Zhang Qingfeng shipped them thousands of grenades, just to prevent the Japanese from tearing their faces.

Here, the Japanese artillery only has solid ammunition and no explosive ammunition. It may be useful against army formations in the field, but it is useless against soldiers with bunkers.

Soon Japanese artillery opened fire.

After a rumbling sound, many shells shot towards the Royal Commercial Hall like shooting stars.

When the shell hits the wall, the huge kinetic energy can make a gap in the wall.

Shells hitting buildings behind the fence can also punch a hole in the building.

However, these shells just can't hit people, because before they hit people, they will be blocked by the bunker and lose their kinetic energy.

In the following time, the sound of shelling continued.

In this way, the shelling continued for more than an hour, and even many buildings in the business building were destroyed.

However, there was no movement in the shop.

Seeing such a situation, Arima Harunobu and Shimadzu Tadakiyo were a little confused.

"Shimadzu-kun, send some people to take a look." Arima Harunobu said to Shimadzu Tadakiyo.

"Okay." Shimazu Tadakiyo nodded, and then sent a hundred men to launch a feint attack towards the business building, hoping to test the enemy's strength.

However, the next scene made the two of them sure that the shop still had the ability to fight back.

Just hearing a burst of gunfire, more than a dozen Japanese samurai were killed in a matter of seconds, which caused others to retreat.

"Keep bombarding me and destroy the walls and houses. I still don't believe it." Arima Harunobu said to his men.
