Chapter 240. Reenactment of history

Not only are these rabbit cubs enthusiastic, but so is Mao Jue himself, Edo, the Dongjiang River of later generations, why did he come in.

There were no laws of war and no concern for civilian casualties. With the experience of the last attack on Nagasaki, the various armies set fire while marching, and from the Edo Bridge to the Shibaguchi Gate, there was a fire everywhere you looked, and some of the main forces of the shogunate Edo, which had just arrived from the Kohashi Gate, were divided and surrounded, and the rest were actually blocked by the fire, and in the thick smoke, the proud samurai coughed and fled.

The flanks were blocked with fire, and the forward departments just rushed forward, and in the second hour of the battle, the four thousand pairs of the main force of the Dongjiang River had already broken through the forging bridge gate that was considered the inner part of the city, and this was really the most essential part of Edo Castle, in front of the door, dense blacksmith shops gathered here one by one, and after passing the door, it was all cloth villages, money shops, and further on, it was the Edo Castle Honmaru Palace, and the tall castle tower monsters crouched in front of them.

It's just that here, it's also the end point of Mao Jue tonight, in front, the shogunate samurai who come to support from all sides with torches have become more and more dense, and under the castle tower, the strong city defense is much stronger than the Guo defense outside, and the perforations in the wall are densely packed with black iron cannons, after all, it is the capital of the Tokugawa family, the core, and the defense is still not said.

Moreover, even if he braved the staggering casualties to capture Honmaru, it was impossible to lose the Tokugawa shogunate all at once, and Mao Jue was already very satisfied when he hit here.

In the sound of falling tiles, the Dongjiang musketeers climbed on the roof and shot at the large team of samurai who rushed from afar, and on both sides of the forging bridge gate, a group of elite soldiers and horses kicked the door one by one, and when they saw people arresting people and packing up things, the army began to turn to defense.

The team finally followed, pushing on the smooth bluestone pavement of the Japanese people, and the two big black guys emitted a wet and shiny glow.

Mao Li Sakura, who was in charge of the governor, was so excited that she even floated, and personally followed the cannon to Mao Jue, and immediately knelt on one knee.

"Lord, the cannon has arrived, please order!"

It's no wonder that this girl is so excited, the battle of the destruction of the Toyotomi family, on the Osaka Winter Battle, the Tokugawa family's big barrel shelled the Toyotomi family's castle tower, and forced the Yododen mother and son to make peace with the Tokugawa family, and had to agree to fill in the trenches These humiliating requests, now the feng shui takes turns, and it is her "Toyotomi family" to bombard the Tokugawa family, revenge for this arrow.

Not only her, but the entire Toyotomi family remnants, these two cannons were dragged to Tenant Island by the Kumano pirates by the ship.

A rare opportunity to buy people's hearts, Mao Jue naturally did not pour cold water, looking at the cannon, he also immediately pulled out his knife and pointed at the spectacular castle tower in front of him.

"Fire!"

"Hello!"

Under the guidance of Sun Chun, who was muttering, the barrel of the cannon was shaken down with a rattling iron chain, and there was no need to think about aiming, and more than 500 meters away was the Tokugawa family Honmaru, and the huge castle tower stood in front of the muzzle, a distance that could even be called a flat shot.

The one-foot-long Mao Jue's famous guy shrapnel was stuffed into the barrel, with a curse of gnashing teeth, Mao Li Sakura personally moved the flintlock, and the nearby houses with huge vibrations and sonic shocks were all rattling, and a few tiles fell off, and in Mao Jue's look, the representative of the highest power of the shogunate suddenly "screamed and roared" twice, and two huge holes were opened on it.

What Mao Jue didn't know was that his two cannons almost changed history and ended the war ahead of schedule, or the castle tower, where several small caste attendants fell to the ground, two Tokugawa retainers had a broken arm, one lost a leg, and fell to the ground groaning in pain, the copper lamp beside him was broken, the wide general's robe was stained with blood, and his face jumped a little, and Tokugawa Iemitsu looked at him incredulously.

Mao Jue's shrapnel is usually used to hit targets of one to two thousand meters, but this time it was only four or five hundred meters, and the projectile smashed through several layers of the fragile wooden walls of the castle tower and smashed into the palace, but the fuse had not yet burned to the place.

This gave the small surname people around him, the samurai, a chance, and more than a dozen personal guards immediately formed a human wall to block Tokugawa Iemitsu, and then the shrapnel burst out.

But even so, Tokugawa Iemitsu is stupid, unlike his father Tokugawa Hidetada, he is a real official of the third generation, and the Great War of Sekigahara was over when he was born, and he has not experienced the era of no day and no war, and it is the first time that he has been so close to death.

Not only him, Aoyama Yukinari, Inaba Masakatsu, and those old middle school students almost didn't pee their pants, and they were stunned for two or three seconds, Aoyama Kosei stepped forward and dragged Tokugawa Iemitsu and fled directly to the apse O'O, and this Inaba Masakatsu also roared like a pig.

"Come on, find the Tang thief gunner immediately, destroy the Tang thief big barrel, go quickly!"

Mao Jue's cannon did not succeed, but actually caused trouble, originally more than 10,000 Tokugawa family flag army is stubbornly defending this pill can not come out, this cannon down, like digging an ant's nest, immediately thousands of troops opened the gates of various places, with weapons hula la killing, forging the huge sea in front of the bridge to arrange a defensive position is the first time to feel this pressure.

The shogunate troops, who had just been suppressed by the firearms hidden on the wall, suddenly rushed out of the street with more than 100 iron gunners, and they were not killed, and the black muzzles of the guns directly slammed into the roofs of the shops on both sides of the road.

After all, it's hundreds of guns! There was an uproar, I don't know which unlucky cloth shop collapsed directly, and the huge sea of the lump also sat on the ground with a butt, fell more than three meters, and almost broke his femur, covering his stomach, angry He was scolding.

"Where the fuck are there so many dwarfs! Oops~"

There was another burst of fire at the mouth of the alley, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army's iron gunners to load, the Dongjiang flintlock musketeers who were squatting in the house fired back and killed more than a dozen, and beat those iron gunners back, but this kung fu, there was a large group of flag soldiers wearing a white belt on their heads, holding a knife and screaming and rushing up, standing up against the wall, carrying a knife to the front, and the old face of the huge sea was also a little dignified.

With his left hand holding the revolver and firing a few shots, he turned his head sharply and yelled at the soldiers beside him.

"Inform the general, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived, please instruct!"

"Yes!"

In the midst of a loud shout, he took out his red feathers and stuck them in his helmet, and the three pro-soldiers turned around and ran back.

This kung fu, Mao Jue has opened four holes for the Tokugawa Castle Guard, in the era of cold weapons, this kind of high fortress watchtower is simply an invincible existence, condescending to fire thousands of arrows, how many people have to hate this, but in front of the cannon, it is purely a big handle.

Seeing that the fifth and sixth shells were moved out of the box, and just as they were about to be stuffed into the barrels, the three Red Feather messengers ran in, and they didn't need to come over to tell them, Mao Jue had already shook his head in surprise.

"Such a block!"

"Alright, stop fighting, order the withdrawal of troops!"

Two signal flares were sent into the air, and the unfinished Maori Sakura had to push the cannon and began to retreat, and the Dongjiang army, which was still looting nearby, immediately showed their extremely high quality, even if there was a cash cabinet in front of them that had not been turned over, they immediately turned around and left.

No way, conditioning. For fear of encountering a surprise attack, when the Dongjiang Army was training, there was often such a content, at noon, the sentry commander suddenly whistled, and if he did not immediately put down his job and assemble, he had to squat and walk, half a whistle, those who did not wear pants to assemble were not punished, and those who were late in pants were squatting and walking, and the respective commanders blew the whistle, and the other did not even go through the brain, and these iron righteous troops withdrew.

However, this has become a big oolong on the command of Mao Jue, what he is guarding against is the reinforcements of the Honda Loyal Dynasty, 10,000 horses and horses in a desperate situation and 780,000 enemy troops to fight to the death is called bravery, and for no reason you have to find 70,000 or 80,000 people to fight alone, then it is called a tiger, this time, the main purpose is to plunder the Japanese country, unless necessary, Mao Jue can not commit a decisive battle with the main force of the Japanese people.

But the Tokugawa Shogunate Banner Army that rushed out gave him this illusion, thinking that it was the shogunate reinforcements that arrived, and this retreated for half an hour in advance, and it was more than half an hour less looting.

…………

When I woke up early the next morning, Tokugawa Iemitsu was trembling with anger, and the corpses and blood on the palace had been cleaned up, but the holes in the walls could not be cleaned.

"Send an order to Honda Tadachao, Jing Yi Naoto, let them go out immediately, and kill all the Tang thieves for me, don't let any of them go!"

But the general's voice echoed in the hall, but this time even the main battle faction's Aoyama Yukinari, Sakai Tadakatsu and others were silent.

The people and horses are still those people and horses from yesterday, but the position is decisively different, Mao Jue's army entered the city from outside the city, occupied Tsukuda Island, and burned the Shibaguchi Bridge leading to Tsukushima, Sukiya Bridge, the trench dug by the Tokugawa family before, but now it has become the defensive barrier of the Dongjiang army, if he does not attack, the shogunate army will attack, and he will have to withstand the overwhelming muskets and force the turbulent Sumida River.

This has become the situation during the offensive and defensive war of Nagasaki, don't look at the numerical advantage of the shogunate army, whether it can win or not, it's really hard to say.

Half an hour later, passing through the scorched southeast Edo Castle, Aoyama Konsari's small sedan chair once again appeared in front of the Dongjiang Army's military formation.

Yesterday he laughed at others for being fools, and now he looked at the Dongjiang Army on the other side of the trench, holding a gun and guarding it, this old guy was eager to give himself two big slaps, but it had happened, he finally waved his hand helplessly, and the black maid with teeth painted on the side also shouted weakly.

"Lord Aoyama, the old man of the shogunate, has come to visit General Mao again!"
