Chapter 767: Equality

"Iron cannon ready!" Akihisa Shimazu shouted excitedly, this was his first time commanding a battle, and he was still the most elite unit of the Shimazu family.

Click... Click... The muzzles of the five hundred iron cannons were aimed at the outside of the city, where the flags of all colors were densely packed with ashigaru families.

"Forward!" The Hosokawa army took the lead this time with Niwa Nagahide, who was a fierce general on the same level as Shibata Katsuya in the Oda family, and was called Kigoro Zuo. Changxiu not only has outstanding performance in military affairs, but also has a long-term vision in politics.

After Oda Nobunaga's death, he skillfully moved closer to Hosokawa Nobunaga, and now he is a good man in the Hosokawa family, neither outstanding nor dismissing the chain at a critical moment.

Stompe... Stompe... The head Niwa Ashigaru held a bamboo shield high and marched in a neat stride, which was specially designed to defend against iron cannons.

"Huh? Father, what is that? Akihisa Shimazu hadn't seen this, so he turned his head and asked Shimazu Akihisa on the side.

"Hmm... I guess it's a shield or something. Shimazu wasn't sure for a long time, and he hadn't seen it either.

Although the bamboo shield shines in the battle of the Yuao, the Shimazu family is the first time to see it, and the usual siege battles are piled up by crowd tactics.

"Shields? Hmph, think this kind of thing tied together with bamboo can be bulletproof? What a joke! Aim for them for me! Akihisa Shimazu disagreed, the usual kind of solid wooden planks can't protect against iron cannons, how much defense can this kind of hollow bamboo have.

Zila... The fire twist was lit, and the technology and application of iron cannons had always been tightly held in the hands of the Shimazu clan, and the other retainers and wealthy clans had no inventory at all.

"Shoot!" Akihisa Shimazu roared, and he himself took the iron cannon and shot it.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Iron cannons roar! Plumes of green smoke rise.

Lead bullets are fired from the chamber of the gun, and they shoot downwards with great speed.

Cracking sound... The lead bullet hit the bamboo shield and made the sound of popping beans, but it did not penetrate the bamboo shield, and it was either stuck in the gap or was ejected out.

"What?" There was no imaginary bullet and fell to the ground, and watching Niwa Ashigaru still make steady progress, the toughness of this hollow bamboo played a huge role.

"Damn! Reload! "Akihisa Shimazu doesn't believe in evil, and thinks that it should be too far away, and is ready to attack again.

"Keep going!" Hideshige Niwa hides behind a bamboo shield and directs Ashigaru to approach the castle, and he is Niwa Nagahide's younger brother.

"Iron cannon ready!" The castle once again poked out the iron cannon and aimed at Niwa Ashigaru.

"Steady! Lift the bamboo shield high for me! Keep moving! "The closer you get to the castle, the more you need to tightly guard the iron cannon behind you, and this time it is the Suzuki Otsu team, which is the Shimazu iron cannon specifically aimed at the castle.

"Listen to me!" Akihisa Shimazu also took aim with his gun and waited for the opportunity.

Stompe... Stompe... Niwa Ashikashi saw that he was about to arrive at the castle, and suddenly the ground collapsed!

"Huh?" "Oops!" "Wow!" The ashigaru in front of it is like a dumpling, and all the rollers have fallen.

"Ahh A heart-rending scream came from inside, and the pit was covered with sharp bamboo thorns.

"Uhhhh

"Huh?" Without the cover of the bamboo shield in the front row, the iron cannon Ashigaru in the back was immediately exposed.

"Hidden! Hide! Shigehide Suzuki was the first to react and rolled on the spot.

Bang bang bang ... The iron cannons at the head of the city roared in unison, and the timing was very good.

Poof! "Ugh!" "Ahh The Suzuki Iron Artillery Team fell down in one fell swoop.

biu… biu… Where Shigehide Suzuki rolled over, there were several bullet marks on the ground.

"Damn! There are traps! Quickly order them to retreat! Hosokawa Motokatsu stood up from the marching horse and decisively gave the order to withdraw the army, he would not stubbornly use his life to pile up.

Bell, bell, bell... Strike the cymbal and send a signal to call it in.

"Retreat! Fall back! "After receiving the order, the ashigaru retreated like a tide, without any confusion.

"Huh? Running so fast? Hahaha! Akihisa Shimazu laughed wildly, and the victory in the first battle made him a little carried away.

"Hahaha..."The people around him surrounded their young master, and they all congratulated, and it seemed that he had hit an enemy just now, although he was not a samurai, but he was not bad.

"Young master." "Young master." Niwa Nagahide and Suzuki Shigehide returned to the main camp, bowing their heads in shame, and the division was not good.

"It's okay!" Hosokawa Motokatsu doesn't care about this little loss now, he's mature.

"Look, my lord, there is a huge fence arranged in Otemon, and it is estimated that there will be similar pitfalls around." Katakura Keixuna pointed to the city gate, and sure enough, there were a large number of obstacles.

"Young master, I attacked it just now, and the location of the pit layout is very tricky and reasonable, it seems that you can't take this city without paying a little price." Niwa Nagahide is also an expert in castle building, and the layman looks at the lively insider.

"Hehe... Don't bother so much, bring me the warship! Aim for the Falling Water City! Hit me hard! "Hosokawa Motokatsu's application of the navy is now getting better and better, and the reason why he chose to attack the coast is to rely on the support of the sea, whether it is defense or offense.

"Yes!" Date Masamune immediately received the order, and he trotted all the way back to the boat again to convey the order to Murakami Motoyoshi.

"Father, look! The enemy is beginning to retreat! Hahaha! They've fled! Shimazu Akihisa saw that the Hosokawa army on the periphery began to retreat slowly, and thought that it was retreating, but he didn't know that it was to avoid the artillery fire range of the warship.

"Young master! Look at the sea! Irito Shigetoyo interrupted Shimazu Akihisa's yy.

I saw that from the other side of Sakura Island, more than a dozen large warships emerged, including ironclad warships and Western galleons, like sea monsters from ancient times, heading straight for Tasui Castle.

"Gollum..."One of the ashigaru in the city swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and this momentum felt hideous and terrifying just from a distance.

"Goal! Taughti Water City! "Murakami Motoyoshi stood on the head boat, and the Tarumi Castle on the shore was less than five hundred meters from the shore, completely within the straight line of the artillery.

Bang Dang! Bang Dang! Buckshot filled, the gun pushed out of the sideboard, and the muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at the city of Suisuida.

"Fire!" Murakami Motoyoshi waved the order flag in his hand, and all ships also gave orders together.

Knock Click! Knock Click! The sea beast let out an earth-shattering roar, and a wave of anger erupted towards the Weeping Water City!

Boom! With just one shot, a city head is like half of its head has been cut off, and there is nothing.

Boom! Boom! More intense and dense artillery fire followed!

"Wow, ahhhh "Mom!" The small wooden walled city was suddenly beaten to pieces, and people and things flew everywhere the line of fire passed.

"Uhh Shimazu was bombarded and flew out for a long time, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught his son lying on the ground, disemboweled, and his intestines flowed all over the ground...

"It's over..."This was his last thought, at this moment, all deaths are equal... I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
