Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 839

But one thing remains unchanged, muskets all shoot out small bullets to kill people, so as long as you can block this, it will be fine.

So, in fact, the Japanese pirate leaders were not unprepared for this decisive battle with the navy. They had already thought of a plan.

The problem can be solved perfectly by using the bodies of the soldiers who died first and placing them in front.

In fact, the Japanese pirate leaders wanted to use shields at the beginning, but the time was too short and they simply could not produce so many shields.

In addition, the metallurgical workshop was blown up by Wei Wu and all the craftsmen were killed, so they didn't have the ability to build it even if they wanted to.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu decided without any hesitation to use the corpses as shields.

But this plan cannot be told to the soldiers before the war begins, otherwise no one will be willing to charge at the front.

It’s different now. The war has started, all the soldiers have gone to the battlefield and many have died.

Therefore, when the navy fired artillery, the Japanese pirate leaders immediately issued an order.

He ordered the soldiers to lift up the bodies of their companions and use them as shields so that they would not have to worry about being killed by enemy firearms.

If this order had been given at the beginning, the soldiers would definitely not be willing to do it, but now, they are eager to follow it.

Since my companions are already dead, instead of leaving their bodies on the battlefield, I might as well help the living win the war.

In the hearts of these soldiers, their dead comrades should also be willing to contribute their precious bodies for victory.

The navy's firepower was already insufficient, and now the Japanese pirates were using corpses as shields.

It has to be admitted that, putting aside moral bottom lines, corpses are indeed more suitable as shields than metal.

The human body contains a lot of water, as well as muscles, bones and fat, which can all reduce the impact of bullets.

In fact, after the Japanese pirate leaders gave the order, the surviving Japanese pirate soldiers did just that, and the effect was very good.

They placed the corpses in front of them, which seriously affected the speed of the charge but greatly reduced the number of casualties.

Now, the six arrays of the Japanese pirate army were only a few hundred meters away from the navy's gun array.

As the distance gradually shortened, the pressure on the navy increased because the enemy was approaching a safe distance.

When training the navy, Wei Wu taught them that their safe distance on the battlefield was three hundred meters.

Because this is the distance that ordinary people can maintain full-speed running except professional athletes.

Once the enemy charges with all their might at this distance and their firepower is insufficient, the gun formation has almost no chance of victory.

Of course, this was the conclusion Wei Wu came to based on the rifled flintlock rifle.

Although the Japanese pirate army marched slowly, as time passed, they finally approached a safe distance.

In the back, Lan Yu watched all this without saying a word, and there was not even a trace of panic on his face.

But the general beside him was a little anxious and asked in a low voice:

"General, the Japanese pirate army has approached the safe distance set by the Marquis of Changle. Should we send a group of people to retreat and create some distance?"

"No need, let the soldiers continue fighting, the distance is still enough!"

Hearing Lan Yu's response, the general sighed in his heart and looked at the situation ahead with a sense of anxiety.

As for Lan Yu, he seemed calm on the surface, but in fact he was also thinking about Wei Wu in his heart.

"Brother Wei Wu, I can't hold on any longer. If you don't take action, I'll have to find another way!"

While Lan Yu was thinking silently in his heart, Wei Wu in Heian-kyo had already parked his car under the Luocheng Gate.

At this time, the soldiers on the city gate tower also saw Wei Wu's car, but they didn't know what it was.

After a brief moment of daze, they immediately pointed at the off-road vehicle and shouted, and then more Japanese pirate soldiers looked down.

But Wei Wu ignored them, just turned his head and looked out the car window and said something.

"Shen Lin, go to the city gate tower and deal with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. I will take the others to the battlefield to support Lan Yu!"

Hearing Wei Wu's words, Shen Lin immediately jumped down and took the automatic rifle and six magazines from Wei Wu.

"Master, don't worry. Shen Lin will definitely complete the task."

After saying that, Shen Lin turned and rushed towards the stairs of the city gate tower, loading the rifle magazine as he ran.

After Shen Lin left, Wei Wu did not stop. He stepped on the accelerator and rushed out of the city gate.

After coming out of Heian-kyo, Wei Wu became anxious when he saw the situation on the battlefield and stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed of the car.

At this time, the Japanese pirate army was about 500 meters away from Heian-kyo, while Wei Wu stopped at a distance of 100 meters.

After putting away the off-road vehicle, Wei Wu placed a Vulcan machine gun every twenty meters, just like he did that night.

He also distributed automatic rifles and magazines of ammunition to everyone, except Black Wolf and the Dog-raised Mongrel, to whom he did not give guns.

The reason why he gave Black Wolf was because he didn't know how to use it, and if he gave it to him, he might hurt his own people. As for the Inuyang-dog hybrid, Wei Wu didn't want to give it to him.

Even if Wei Wu believed that the bastard would not dare to betray his country in battle, he was a Japanese pirate after all, and human nature was unpredictable.

What if that bastard Inuyasha takes a gun and shoots everyone else? This war is too important to the Ming Dynasty.

If we can gain benefits by destroying Japan, we can take action against other small countries in the future, and those damn civil servants will no longer obstruct us.

So he must win, and win beautifully. At this critical juncture, he will not gamble on people's hearts.

After arranging everything, Wei Wu looked at Wei Yi, Wei Er and Wei San who were standing behind the Vulcan machine gun and operating it.

"You three, beat them hard! The rest of you, stand guard nearby and don't let the pirates get close to them."

"Inukai, you help them from the side. If the barrel overheats, pour water on it. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing Wei Wu's order, the Wuchang Squad, Heilang, and Inukai all nodded to show that they understood.

But at this moment, Wei Yi, who was standing next to Wei Wu, suddenly looked at Wei Wu and asked a question.

"Master, if you give us the Vulcan cannon, what will you use?"

"I?"

Hearing Wei Yi's question, Wei Wu sneered, raised his hand to take out his heavy tank, turned over and got in.

"Of course I'm going to the front lines to see whether the Japanese pirates are tougher or my tank tracks are tougher!"

"Pay attention to yourself, everyone! Don't let the Vulcan cannon hit me! It's quite powerful!"

After saying that, Wei Wu directly closed the hatch, and the tank tracks began to turn amid the roar of the engine.

The dust and sand were flying everywhere, heading straight for the Japanese pirate army!
