Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1031 The Terrifying Machine Gun

"The night attack on the opposite side was really just a bluff, and there were not many corpses in the gully overnight." Tachibana Tadamo observed the traces of the battlefield while grilling rice.

And behind him, the gang leader is adding rice to miso to make rice balls for use in the afternoon or evening.

"They also started to set up a stove to cook. Why bother making noise at night, which makes everyone exhausted. Next, we will divide into two groups and take turns to defend, so that we can take a rest. We must not let them take advantage of it." Lu Xiangsheng is also cooking rice. There are almost only radishes and wild vegetables in it.

It is not bad to be able to eat rice on the battlefield, and many poor people come to war in order to eat rice.

"Should be just to tire us out..."

Da da!Before Tachibana Tadashige could finish his words, the sound of a hand-cranked machine gun came from the path behind the mountain, making his hand holding the wooden box tremble slightly!
Such a dense and loud sound of metal bullets!The shogunate soldiers who were cooking or eating involuntarily got up and grabbed the muskets beside them, and looked anxiously in the direction of the sound of the hand-cranked machine gun.

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

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

"If there is an enemy sneak attack on the back mountain, then the enemy in the front will launch a strong attack soon, and you stay here to command." Lu Xiangsheng entrusted Tachibana Tadamo with the task of temporarily defending the front battlefield. Let him trust Tachibana Tadamo quite a bit.

"Yes!" Tachibana Tadamo admired this Chinese general who dared to fight alone and had a pile of firearms that were too good.

On the mountain road at the back of the mountain, the raid team led by Miyamoto Musashi and Date Tadakamune was discovered by a secret sentry hidden in a hidden place after clearing out several clear sentries deployed by Lu Xiangsheng.The temporarily pulled hand-cranked machine gun fired in time, suppressing Miyamoto Musashi and the others unable to lift their heads.

"What is that, why can it shoot bullets continuously?!" Hidden behind the boulder, Date Zhongzong was terrified when he saw the hand-cranked machine gun emitting white smoke.

At his feet, because he didn't know the power of the hand-cranked machine gun, a samurai drew his samurai sword and rushed towards the machine gunner. As a result, he was smashed into a sieve by dozens of metal bullets in an instant.

Such terrifying power made the other warriors terrified, and they didn't care about charging, but searched for obstacles and hid on the spot.

"The raid plan failed, prepare to retreat!" Date Tadamune was frightened by the hand-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 not reconciled to leave in such a haste!" Miyamoto Musashi was unwilling.

"The moment the enemy finds out, a sneak attack becomes a strong attack, which does not conform to the art of war!" Date Tadamune followed his father Date Masamune to learn the art of war, knowing that he could not stay any longer at this moment.

When the raid team was hindered, the defense team in Houshan was actually even more nervous.

Lu Xiangsheng only brought dozens of Huaxia soldiers, Tachibana Tadamo had a garrison of 500 people, and other feudal lords or retainers who remained with a small number of troops, the total was only about 500 people.

The defense force of Houshan Mountain Road is served by the retainers of Tosa Fan in Shikoku Island, as well as the machine gunner transferred by Lu Xiangsheng and two auxiliary soldiers.

The machine gunner was sweating as he assisted his men in reloading the machine gun with fresh magazines.

"Nani, what kind of monster is this!"

The two retainers of the Yamauchi family of the Tosa clan who were in charge of defending the mountain road were also shocked by the power of the hand-cranked machine gun. They looked at the three soldiers of the Kyushu Army operating the hand-cranked machine gun and the hand-cranked machine gun, as if they were looking at monsters.

Just now the commando of the shogunate did not know how powerful the machine gun was, and they were shot and killed several people by the machine gun during the charge.

For a while, the two sides dared not move.

The machine gunner did not continue to shoot after the enemy was concealed. Although the power and deterrence of the machine gun were great, the speed at which the bullets were consumed was also astonishing.Lu Xiangsheng and the others are ready for a protracted war, and they are cautious about the use of machine guns.

"How is the situation? How many enemies have touched it?" Lu Xiangsheng asked after arriving at the back mountain.

"There are about a hundred enemies. After we used the machine guns, they all hid in hiding places." 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 bring a hand-operated machine gun to the Houshan Trail. At that time, he did not bring extra magazines and bullets because of the rush of time. If the warriors swarmed up against the obstacles in the mountains and forests, this hand-operated machine gun might become the first one captured by the enemy. machine gun.

"More than a hundred people... Let them put down their weapons and surrender, otherwise they really can't let them leave so easily!" Lu Xiangsheng said to the interpreter.

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

"He wants us to surrender? How could our Date family surrender to them like this! The Date family only has warriors who died in battle, not warriors who surrendered!" Date Zhongzong was a little annoyed when he heard the translator's shout.

"They are humiliating us!" Miyamoto Musashi suddenly shouted loudly, "Let your generals come out to fight me, I missed the opportunity to fight with Chinese martial artists 40 years ago, this time I want to experience Chinese martial arts !"

The audience was silent, the members of the assault team looked at Miyamoto Musashi, and the members of the defense team 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 line, looking at the interpreter.

"It seems that the enemy general is shouting, and he asks you to fight alone with the general." The interpreter explained to Lu Xiangsheng hesitantly, wondering if Lu Xiangsheng would agree to the other party's challenge in a flash.

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

"He has a good idea. Now is the age of firearms. There are muskets and some people use cold weapons to fight? I still want to stand in Xiaoshan for the whole winter to disgust them and complete the task assigned to me by the army leader. How can I take risks?" Lu Xiangsheng also practiced martial arts in normal times, and even learned how to use a bayonet after he was equipped with a rifle. He was confident in his close combat ability, but he would not take the risk of accepting a one-on-one challenge from a stranger.

If he dies here, it is estimated that the Xiaoshan position will collapse.

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