At this time, Kamiharu Kono also realized that his words were wrong, and the morale of everyone in the front hall was lowered to the bottom. He hurriedly remedied and said, "But it doesn't have to be the Ming army. If it was the Ming army, why didn't they play the flag? ”

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the front hall became active again. One of the samurai said, "Your Excellency has a point! Maybe it's just an army that the Ryukyuan themselves have privately organized. ”

Another samurai immediately retorted, "The Ryukyuan people are extremely cowardly! How could there be such a strong samurai? Certainly not a Ryukyuan person! ”

The previous samurai said, "If it wasn't for the army of the Ming Kingdom, then where did this mighty army come from?" It never falls from the sky! ”

Kono Kamiharu waved his hand and said, "Don't make any noise." It doesn't matter where they come from, it's important to know what they're coming to attack us for. I always feel like something can't figure it out. ”

Kono Kamiharu paused and said, "But one thing can be confirmed, one of their purposes is King Shangfeng. So you have to keep an eye on their family. The rest of the men go and command the soldiers to defend! ”

The samurai bowed down and said in unison, "Hello! Then they dispersed.

Kono Kamiharu turned his head to King Shangfeng and said, "I hope it wasn't you who did it." Otherwise, you'll regret it! ”

Kono Kamiharu left a group of people to guard King Shangfeng's family and came to the city wall by himself. At this time, he found that the front and back doors of the palace had been blocked by the army. Four cannons were lined up in front of the palace, and the muzzles of the black holes pointed directly at the walls of the palace. Kono Kamiharu also saw many Ryukyuan people looking at this side from a distance, pointing and pointing excitedly.

This made Kono Kamiharu shed a few more drops of cold sweat! Kono Kamiharu knew that he and his subordinates usually did a lot of bad things, so they were not popular in the Ryukyus at all. If the people of the Ryukyus cooperated with this army to attack the city, then he would have only one way to do it!

Just as he was watching, a person walked out of the opposite team. He seemed to recognize Kono Kamiharu and said loudly in his direction, "The people inside really listened!" My master orders you to surrender immediately, or the artillery will burn the jade! ”

Kono Kamiharu shouted loudly, "May I ask where you are the soldiers and horses?" Who will the Lord be? ”

The man ignored him and said directly, "I'll just give you a stick of incense time to think about it." ”

After saying this, the man turned around and went back. Kamiharu Kono thought about it repeatedly, always feeling as if he was missing something, but he never had a clue. He said to the people around him: "Let King Shangfeng come here, move quickly!" ”

Soon, King Shangfeng came to the city wall. Kono Kamiharu pointed to the team below and said, "Take a closer look, do you have an impression of these people?" Do you think of anything? ”

King Shang Feng carefully looked at the army in front of him, and after a long time, he shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it." ”

Kono Kamiharu waved his hand and motioned for the people around him to escort King Shangfeng back to the front hall. He himself checked the preparation of the defense along the ramparts. At the same time, the soldiers were also encouraged to cheer them up. But Kono Kamiharu had little hope of holding the palace.

First of all, there were twice as many people out there. There are also four gates of national collapse. With the low walls of the royal palace, it is impossible to stop the power of the collapse of the country! As soon as the walls are broken by the collapse of the country, the enemy will swarm in. But he did his best to get things done. This is the responsibility of a samurai after all.

Kono had just turned around and came back to hear the drums beating outside. Kono's heart tightened, he knew that the enemy had begun to attack the city!

Sure enough, the first thing that rang out was the rumbling of cannons. The four cannons were out of range of the iron cannons, and they kept firing shells at the walls of the country. Each shell hit the battlements with a scream.

The first round of shells hit the battlements of the city wall accurately. The bricks and stones flew like grapes to lead, and the soldiers on the walls were scattered with blood. The lucky ones died on the spot, and the unlucky ones could only cry out in a pool of blood. But Kono Kamiharu didn't dare to order the ashigaru to withdraw. Because once it is withdrawn, there is no way to stop it if the other party takes the opportunity to attack the city.

While he was thinking, a second round of artillery came again. At this time, the ashigaru people are much smarter. No one dared to hide behind the battlements anymore, and they all lay flat on the ground. It seems that this will reduce casualties, but it still does not work. Although the ashigaru people were lying on the ground and dodging the bombardment of the shells, they could not dodge the flying masonry. Kamiharu Kono saw with his own eyes an ashigaru soldier lying on the ground, smashed on the neck by half of the wall brick that flew away! The head of the ashigaru immediately twisted at a strange angle, and it was no longer alive!

Liu Pei saw that several rounds of artillery bombardment had passed, and the ashigaru people on the opposite city wall did not dare to raise their heads at all, so he ordered: "The fire gun hand stepped forward and prepared to suppress the city wall." The artillery began to bombard the gates after the musketeers had finished their formation. The rest of the people prepared to storm the city gates. ”

The pro-soldiers immediately ran to deliver the order. After a few moments, the Musketeers slowly left the group and advanced. However, this time they did not form a dense formation, but acted in groups of three. The idea was that each team would be responsible for suppressing a battlement and shooting at the slightest sign of the spot. If the first two bullets miss, one person will shoot again.

As soon as the gunners were signaled by the gunners, they immediately reversed their aim and began to bombard Dure.

In just six rounds of artillery bombardment, more than 50 ashigaru soldiers were killed and wounded on the city wall. Kono Kamiharu was terrified. He knew that if he continued to bombard like this, the morale would drop dramatically until the soldiers completely collapsed. He was just about to give the order for the Ashigaru to take down the walls. However, the artillery shifted its target and aimed at the city gates.

With four loud bangs, there were immediately four more big holes in the city gate! Suddenly, the flying sawdust showed their lethality! A dozen or so people who were in charge of guarding behind the city gate were knocked down seven or eight! One of them was pierced through his abdomen by a relatively large wooden bar, and he fell to the ground screaming! The scalp of the shouting person is itchy! Fortunately, the samurai who was in charge of guarding the city gate immediately slashed him to death with a sword.

At this time, the samurai on the castle wall noticed that the artillery had shifted their target, and they swung their swords to force the Ashigaru soldiers to stand up and try to counterattack. As a result, they found out that they had been fooled. The firecrackers standing outside the walls are waiting for them!

At the urging of the samurai, the ashigaru soldiers raised their iron cannons and looked out close to the battlements. Before they could see what was going on outside, they saw a flash of fire outside. White smoke rose and a cloud of lead swooped down on their target. The first ashigaru soldiers to pounce on the battlements were knocked to the ground, and their deaths were very miserable. Basically, they were shot in the head and throat, and a small number of people were shot in the shoulder and lay on the ground screaming. Blood flowed on the city wall, and brains burst out, like a rain of blood!

The timid ashigaru shrank back again. The more daring Ashigaru felt that the other party had finished firing the firearm and there was no danger, so he threw himself on the battlement and wanted to shoot outside. But the firecracker, who didn't want to be shot again, swept the city wall again!

The gunner's fire can be more brutal than the artillery's artillery. Even so, sporadic counterattacks on the walls still hit a few musketeers. Five or six people screamed and fell. One man was hit in the face and died instantly. Others were either shot in the arm, thigh or chest. But then two more stood up with their chests clutched! It turned out that the cuirass they were wearing blocked the lead. But it doesn't taste good to be shot, like being slammed with a hammer! Although he saved a life, it is estimated that a few ribs will be broken.

The dull sound of fire guns continued to sound under the city, and although the lead hitting the city wall could not hit the city bricks, the flying stone chips hit the face and body were not comfortable! In this way, the iron cannons on the city walls were basically suppressed. Some brave Ashigaru tried to fight back, also occasionally hitting one or two people. But he was immediately dragged away by the paramedics.

At this time, the artillery fired again. However, this time the artillery was aimed relatively low. Four cannonballs pierced through the gates and entered the city. The two shells didn't hit anything and flew away. However, the other two shells caused huge casualties among the Japanese soldiers!
