After all, since acquiring the firearms, they had drilled countless times, specifically running many simulations against volleys of arrows.
So with a single command, his men began an orderly volley of gunfire.
The men were using iron sand rounds, each shot blanketing a wide area. They quickly blasted the incoming volley of arrows to smithereens.
"Switch ranks, advance!" Iwai Ryohi ordered coldly.
The squad that had just fired fell back to reload. The middle rank took their place, while a third squad raised their guns and fired at the surroundings to provide cover.
This was precisely the three-stage firing formation the Folangji merchants had taught them.
Moreover, as they pushed deeper, the sound of gunfire began to erupt from all directions.
Iwai Ryohi felt a surge of confidence, believing this battle would be effortless.
Buoyed by the thought, he raised his gun in high spirits and fired a shot into the distant darkness.
