Chapter 745: Crushing

Stompe... Stompe... Hosokawa Ashigaru in the front row, carrying a bamboo shield and a large wooden plank, slowly approached Shimazu Satsuma Inner Castle.

"Iron cannon ready!" Kayama Hisataka ordered loudly on the gate oar, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his forehead, and the sense of oppression that the Hosokawa army gave to the castle was too strong.

Stompe... Stompe... Hosokawa Ashigaru advanced in an orderly manner, and the iron cannon of the headquarters led by Michishun Igasaki followed closely behind, observing the castle from the gap.

"Shoot!" Hisaka Kayama roared when he saw that the Hosokawa army had entered the firing range.

Bang bang bang! A row of green smoke rises from the head of the castle, and the Sannomaru castle wall in the inner castle does not have a roof, which is the most common single-wall defense line in the Warring States period.

The buckshot hit the bamboo shield with a crackling sound.

"Forward!" Hosokawa Ashigaru continued to advance calmly until he reached the edge of the moat.

"Lay down the plank line!" With a command, the bamboo shield unfurled, revealing the large plank behind it.

With a few clicks of hammer down, the large planks were supported diagonally, forming two improvised offensive lines.

"Get into position!" Iga Saki ran two steps in a hurry, and with a sliding shovel, he scurried to the position of a large wooden plank.

Stompe... Stompe... The iron artillery team also entered the position in groups of three.

"Iron cannon ready!" Michishun Iga Saki leaned against the plank, silently counting the interval between the enemy's attacks.

Bang bang bang! Another volley from the Shimazu side hit the positions of the Hosokawa side.

"Shoot!" Igasaki Michishun yelled, stood up, and raised his hand to shoot it.

Bang! Hit an enemy in the head, and suddenly his brain shattered, splashing everyone around him.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! If the sound of the Shimazu cannon is like the chirping of a kingfisher, then the sound of the Hosokawa cannon can only be like rolling thunder, which shows the huge advantage in numbers.

Bang bang bang... It struck the city and caused a series of violent noises.

Poof! "Ugh!" "Ahh Some of the defenders who had no time to dodge suddenly fell as if they had been electrocuted, and more than a dozen people fell.

"Damn! Take cover! Be careful! Keep your head down! Birch Hill squatted on the ground for a long time, watching his own ashigaru fall one by one, and he was so anxious that he "scratched his ears and cheeks", they lacked the training of iron artillery against the enemy.

After a round of iron cannons, Hosokawa Iron Cannon Ashigaru skillfully hid behind the plank, and at first glance it was well-trained.

Click... Click... Hosokawa Ashigaru did not need an order from a samurai, and consciously cleared, filled, and loaded his ammunition.

"Damn! What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and reload your ammo yet! "On the other hand, the Shimazu family lacks systematic tempering, and someone must command everything.

Click... Click... The speed in his hand was also a cut slower than that of Hosokawa Army.

"Hurry up! Come on! "Kayama kept urging, peeking at the Hosokawa position, there was no abnormality.

"Ready!" With a brush, Hisakama stood up, ready to command the iron cannon Ashigaru to shoot.

"Shoot fast!" Suddenly, an order to open fire came from Hosokawa side one step ahead of them. I saw the position of two rows of large wooden planks, from three different angles on the left and right, poking out Ashigaru holding iron cannons. Its movements are uniform, as if it were a rehearsed dance.

"Huh?" Seeing this, Hisataka Kayama raised his right hand stopped in mid-air, and the defenders had just stood up, exposing above the width of their shoulders, raising their guns and preparing to aim.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Hosokawa seized the opportunity and fired without hesitation.

Poof! The muffled popping of lead bullets into the body continued, and the defenders fell down like leeks.

"Ahh Hisataka also screamed and squatted down, blood flowed from his right arm, and he was shot.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! In the third round of shooting, the Hosokawa side completely suppressed the castle, and more than half of the Shimazu iron artillery was killed and wounded, and no one dared to take the lead again.

"Attack!" Seeing that it was almost over, Ito Yubing pulled out his sword at his waist and led Echizen Bei to charge.

"Oh!" The black-pressed Hosokawa ashiki rushed onto the stone bridge.

"Hurry up! Get up! The enemy is coming! Birshan, Jiugao endured the pain in his arm and gritted his teeth and persevered.

Bang! Bang! Occasionally, a gunshot rang out, and the counterattack was not in shape.

"Damn! "Birch Mountain was so angry that he hammered the city wall, but he pulled the wound and grinned in pain.

"Hurry!" Tsuda Sumashi led a special team, mixed in the Echizen bishigaru, and quickly came to Otemon.

"Cover!" Ito Yubei commanded Ashigaru to slap with a spear to attract the attention of the enemy inside the gate gate, while Tsuda and others hurriedly worked on what they were doing.

With a thud, the fire twist was ignited.

"Get out of here!" Tsuda recitedly clamped his fingers between the fire twists and shouted a warning.

Everyone cheered, quickly evacuated from the stone bridge, returned to the bridge, and lay on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Call! Tsuda lit the fuse, turned over and jumped directly into the moat. Leaving only the cheerful flames, we rushed to the end of the line.

"Ahh Yes! Fast! Fast! "Kayama Hisaka can see it clearly, this should be the explosion of the city gate of the Hosokawa family! But he could only do "ah" and "fast" for a long time, and he couldn't say any effective orders.

Because there are only some ordinary stones in the mouth of the "stone fall" of the city gate oar, due to the surprise attack of the Hosokawa army, the water... There is no rush to prepare at all.

"Ahh Wow! "Birch Mountain Hisataka can only be from the "stone fall" mouth, watching the lead get shorter and shorter, and the eyeballs are about to fall out.

Boom! Thundered! There was a loud bang, and the earth shook!

"Wow, ahhhh The city gate was immediately blown open, and the guards inside the oars were also lifted away along with the broken wood and rubble.

Boom! "Poof!" Birch Shan fell heavily to the ground, spurted a mouthful of blood, and passed out.

"Kill!" Ito Yubei held his sword high and rushed to the castle gate, which was still emitting black smoke.

"Kill!" Hosokawa was as wolf-like as a tiger, howling and rushing through the gate together.

"Die!" Ito Yubei raised his sword and cut off half of the head of a samurai on the ground who had been blown up!

"Drink!" A Hosokawa Ashigaru also stabbed an enemy in the neck with a single shot, and immediately blood splattered, and he fell to the ground and died.

"Good! Hahaha! I also asked the two uncles to send troops together to reinforce the soldiers and take the city in one fell swoop! Hosokawa Motokatsu saw it from behind, slapped his thigh excitedly, and then said to Haruyuki Hosokawa and Yoshitsugu Miyoshi.

"Yes! Please rest assured, young master! We will do our best! Take the Inner City! The two of them lowered their leaders' orders, and then each led their own army and rushed into the inner city.

"Drink!" "Kill!" Sannomaru shouted to kill Megatron, the Hosokawa army had elite soldiers, and the number of people was more than ten times that of the Shimazu defenders, so they instantly extinguished the defenders, suppressed the castle, and occupied Sannomaru.

Then the whole army turned around and pounced on Ninomaru! I want to talk about "Mortals Through the Law of Survival" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
