C688 Two Cities of the Wall (2/2)

A metallic sound rang out. Two tongues of flame began to swing in the dense crowd. The soldier that was hit by the bullets trembled as blood blossomed on his chest.

”It's the Gatling …” It's an American Gatling... ”Hurry up and leave!” Sakamoto Ryoma had seen the new army's Gatling s train their machine guns before, their firepower was not something that flesh and blood could withstand.

”Damn it, there must be a real European Military experts behind the Tokugawa. Not many people in Asia know that there is such a weapon, and this Gatling has a huge flaw. Unless we use our hands personally, it won't be of any use at all …”

What Sakamoto Ryoma said was right, the first generation of Gatling s used a handshake, crank and loading mode, while manual loading required a very uniform speed or else they would be stuck.

But humans were not machines, it was very easy to kill in the chaotic battlefield, it would be very difficult to maintain a constant speed, thus the failure rate of Gatling on the battlefield was very high, which was also a very important factor when Maxine replaced her.

It was obvious that Tokugawa knew about the flaw of the Gatling, so they made a bold attempt to deal with it. The heavy machine gun that was originally controlled by two people, actually had three people in it.

One of them was controlling the direction of the gun while the other was reloading. The third person was actually deaf and blind. He had been training for the past half year on how to move the crank at a uniform speed.

This was truly a genius' idea. The deaf blind man would never be disturbed by the atmosphere of the battlefield. Indeed, the crank was shaking at an extremely uniform speed.

Shan Xianyoupeng's eyes were wide opened in anger, he could only watch as the rain of bullets plowed holes into the ground, the thick stench of blood causing him to feel waves of dizziness.

”Master, we can't hold on any longer …” ”The enemy's firepower is too strong. We can't even get close to the walls of the Second City. Why don't we first retreat and think of a way …”

”Eight!” Shan Xianyoupeng roared, the Katana in his hand slashed at the leader of the squadron who was in front of him, causing him to be beheaded.

pointed at the Osaka City wall and roared, ”It's this group of Imperial Banner who betrayed and destroyed the Heavenly Emperor. It's this group of bastards that caused the Prince of Ren He Palace to faint, it's them who caused the dignity of our Western Army …”

”200 years ago, our Western Nation was defeated by the Eastern Kingdom's great name time and time again. Zhi Tianxinchang, Feng Chenxiuji and Tokugawa Kang … Are we going to let them bully us for two hundred years? ”

”It wasn't easy for us to find a chance to break through the 200 years of accumulated luck. If we fail, then where can we find another 200 years …” ”Soldiers, listen up! Assault!”

The warriors in Changzhou vassal felt a pride that was different from ordinary people. The history that had been suppressed for hundreds of years had triggered their valor, and over a hundred warriors had formed a death squadron.

”Where are the death warriors of the Changzhou vassal? Where are the loyal ministers of the Maori's house? ” Every roar was met with a wave of responses.

”The death warrior of the Changzhou vassal is here! Maori's house's loyal subjects are here! ” Groups after groups of warriors joined the death squadron.

This time, they were quite smart. Each of them tied up a double thick door with a grass rope. After that, the dozen or so people slowly advanced forward while staring at the shield.

With every step, there were light soldiers throwing dirt onto it. When the mud tank broke into the city gates, the door was already filled with twenty centimeters of dirt.

The first generation Gatling's power of gunpowder was actually only slightly stronger than a rifle. Against this kind of double-layered shield that was thicker, there was nothing that could be done about it. Japanese's intelligence on the battlefield was really praiseworthy.

The bullets hit the ground, the warriors below were all gathered together, all shouting and shouting as they advanced forward at the same time. ”Roar! Roar!” Ha! Roar … Roar … ”Ha!” Only a few of the unlucky fellows at the edge of the field were not able to land on their feet.

”Monarchs, do your best... The city gate is within reach! ” At this time, there was a crashing sound and hot oil was flowing down from the top of his head. All of the warriors in the surrounding area cried out, and soon, the torches were thrown down and flames soared from the shields.

”Speed up, speed up …” Use this fire to burn down the city gates! ” The Death Soldiers let out a loud cry and ran wildly, enduring the heat of the flames. They jabbed their wooden shields into the gates of the City of Two with a clang.

The warriors carried a large number of oil bags with them, which they threw into the fire with crackling noises. Soon, the city gates of the city began to burn.

The flames licked at the thick smoke coming out from the wooden door. The soldiers of the Changzhou vassal cheered excitedly, but those Death Soldiers had paid a huge price and were almost completely annihilated by the crossfire of the two heavy machine guns.

”It's burned through …” Look! The city gates were completely burnt … ”Charge in!”
