Oda Nobunaga used the distribution of silver mines as bait, and sure enough, it aroused the interest of the princes of all walks of life, and before he could say that people would rush to attack the city, the princes of all walks of life were already gearing up and eager to try.

Since these people have been fooled, there is no need to rush, and if they are given a plan to get away with it, they will obediently rush up and send them to death.

He pretended to groan for a while, and then said with a righteous face: "Since the general has asked me to be the chief general, I naturally have to take the lead, and I will fight this battle tomorrow, and you will go up later, how about it?" ”

If there is no benefit, everyone will naturally not have any opinions, if you want to go up, then go up, siege warfare is not so fun, the first one must have the most casualties, there is no doubt about this.

Question, at this time, military merit is linked to the distribution of silver mines, and there are so many defenders in Omori Castle in total, let the Oda clan lead the army to rush first, what if he rushes in one fell swoop?

Wasn't all that military exploits robbed by him!

And there are only two large castles in the west of Iwami Kingdom, and if the military exploits of this castle are robbed by him, it will not mean that the distribution of silver mines will take up a small half of it at once!

How does this work?

The princes shook their heads again and again, "Lord Oda, you are the commander, how can you lead the army to the front?" ”

"General Oda, we're not greedy for life and afraid of death, you let us go first."

A bunch of people talked for a long time, and Oda Nobunaga finally nodded "helplessly" and said: "That's okay, you go first, I'll press the formation behind." ”

These idiots, the firearms of the Ming army are not a joke, do you think that Omori Castle is so easy to take?

Let's test the firepower of the Ming army and consume the ammunition of the Ming army!

So, a great battle began, and the next morning, the princes of all walks of life hurriedly brought out the siege equipment as if they had been beaten with blood, and set up a position in the east of Omori Castle.

Of course, these princes are not all idiots, for example, Takeda Shingen, he is not tempted by the distribution of silver mines, and when everyone is preparing for the siege, he is not in a hurry to sort out the siege equipment there, and he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Yu Dayou on the city wall is also not in a hurry, the tens of thousands of elites under his hands are equipped with thousands of medium artillery pieces and thousands of new flintlock guns, if he encounters these 100,000 Japanese pirates in the field, he may also worry that people will break through the defense line and rush into the formation, this defending the city, he doesn't need to worry at all, these people are just targets in his eyes, rushing to the city wall, it is simply impossible.

He held the telescope and glanced around faintly, and then ordered unhurriedly: "Order, all artillery reload, ready to fire." ”

To be honest, he didn't have any specific understanding of the power of the medium-sized artillery, because during the test, it was a wooden stake or plank as a target, and it was impossible for a real person to eat the shells.

The Wako didn't let him wait long, more than a dozen people shouted and shouted for a while, and then, with a wave of the Oda clan's banner, fifty or sixty thousand horses rushed towards the city wall with siege equipment like bandits robbing money.

This posture is really a bit scary, and a large number of people and horses rushed over under the black pressure, and the city wall that shook with the sound of the waves alone seemed to be shaking.

Yu Dayou still held the telescope calmly, carefully calculating the distance between the two sides, until most of the besiegers rushed to within two miles of the city wall, and he shouted: "All artillery, ignite, bombard one round, all musketeers load their guns and prepare to shoot." ”

His command seems to be a bit wrong, because the artillery of the Ming army can fire more than five consecutive rounds of salvo at this time, it stands to reason that he should order all the artillery to fire when the enemy is just approaching the range of two miles, and then keep changing the guns and bombarding five rounds in a row, so as to achieve the best attack effect, but he waited until most of the enemy rushed to the range of two miles before ordering the artillery, why is this?

In fact, his idea was very simple, he was afraid that the artillery bombardment would be too fierce, and he would directly scare away the 100,000 Japanese robbers in front of him!

It's not easy to catch such an opportunity, these wouldn't be able to line up to be targeted, if they knew how fierce the Ming army's firepower was, they would never dare to rush up in such a swarm.

Just kidding, rushing forward in such a dense way, people's muskets and artillery basically don't need any accuracy, just fire directly into the pile, it is definitely a big sweep.

According to the approximate results of the tests conducted by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, a thousand medium-sized artillery pieces can cause at least two or three thousand casualties in one salvo, and five rounds of salvo fire will be tens of thousands of casualties.

Obviously not, if a thousand medium artillery guns fire five rounds in a row, it is estimated that these Japanese will be frightened, and when the time comes, they will be able to cause tens of thousands of casualties, such a good opportunity is not in vain!

He wanted to teach the Japanese in this Dasen City a painful lesson, and directly hit them to be afraid when they saw the Ming army, so at the beginning, the firepower could not be too fierce, he had to take it easy, so that these Japanese robbers felt that the firepower of the defenders in the city was not very fierce, and they still had the hope of capturing the Great Forest City, so that they would go forward and continue to rush over, if the fire was full at the beginning, people would be desperate, and they would be a fart when the time came.

The princes of Dongying don't know Yu Dayou's thoughts, when the roar of the artillery sounded, they didn't show any fear, because at this time Dongying is not without artillery, a few of them can cast iron cannons, but this iron cannon is really troublesome to transport without a gun truck, so they didn't bring it over, in their opinion, the iron cannon is so powerful, tens of thousands of people, it's a big deal to be killed by the Ming army in the city, this loss is nothing at all.

As soon as the roar of the artillery subsided, the shells had already fallen into the pile, and the power of this medium-sized artillery shell was not comparable to that of the tiger squat cannon, and it would take at least four or five people to lose their inertia and fall to the ground if a shell was smashed down, that is, a thousand shells caused at least four or five thousand casualties.

Yu Dayou saw this result from the telescope, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his face, but the princes of Dongying were unaware, still frantically urging his subordinates, desperately rushing towards the city wall.

They don't know how many casualties there are, tens of thousands of people, how much difference can be between more than 1,000 people and 4,000 or 5,000 people, they can't be noticed if they don't count carefully.

Yu Dayou was not in a hurry, until they rushed to the front of the city wall a hundred paces, he ordered all the musketeers to fire a volley, this time another four or five thousand people fell, and the princes of all walks of life were still unmoved, desperately driving their men to charge.

Finally, tens of thousands of horses rushed to the base of the city wall, what siege vehicles, ladders came in handy, the defenders on the city wall were as they expected, that is, with rolling stones, sasswood, hot water, hot oil, or spears or something to resist, although the casualties were large, but not beyond their expectations, they all felt that this Dasen City could still be taken!

However, every time they rushed up the walls, a pile of black bumps would suddenly fall from the walls, and after a burst of explosions, the people on the ladders and siege engines would roll on the ground with screams, so that they would lose all their efforts.

This may be the killer weapon of the Ming army, the princes who are besieging the city have not yet noticed Yu Dayou's intentions at this time, they only feel that this thunder is too annoying, and every time they reach a critical moment, they will always return in vain.
