The corpses in Sangming City are all over the field, and it is a mess. Finally, at a huge cost paid by the Hosokawa naval army, it was conquered.

Nobuo Kitada breathed a sigh of relief, he finally withstood the pressure and preserved his prestige.

"We! Victory! "Kitada Nobuo raised the sword high, infecting the army.

"Bah! Creak! Oh! ”

"Bah! Creak! Oh! ”

Soon, the battle lasted for half a month, and the islands around Nagashima were taken by the Oda army one after another, and Garodo Castle was also burned by a fire, and even the old nest Wishing Temple was taken by Hosokawa Nobumoto.

Now Otorii Castle and Shinobashi Castle have also run out of ammunition. The others, only Yachojima Castle, Nakae Castle, and Nagashima Castle were still in the hands of the disciples of the Tsusho Sect.

"Hahaha! You're finally here, my friend. "On an Ataka ship, Hosokawa Nobumoto cordially greeted a Nanban man dressed in Western clothes.

"My beloved lord, it's been a long time." The Nanban made a gentleman's salute gorgeously, and it turned out to be Floys of Kai Town.

"Mr. has worked hard all the way, did you bring the goods?" Hosokawa Nobumoto was particularly excited today, and it seemed that something good had happened.

"Brought, brought, your appeal has been conveyed to God. I am very honored to tell you that I have brought the first batch of goods, and you can inspect the goods in advance. Floys grinned, and through Hosokawa Nobumoto's connections, he managed to get close to Oda Nobunaga.

It just so happened that there was a recent outbreak of large-scale Ichijo Buddhism, and Oda Nobunaga allowed Freys to preach in Kyoto in order to curb this Buddhist force.

"Really? Your God doesn't even care about that? Hosokawa said as he followed Floys into the cabin.

Of course, God is omnipresent and omniscient. God knows that you are a great lord, and it would be nice if you also fell into God's arms. "Floys wanted to absorb Hosokawa Nobugen all the time, and he could feel that Hosokawa Nobumoto was very open-minded, which was very different from the natives.

"Does God still know about me?" Hosokawa Nobugen was stunned, he had never believed in these things in his previous life, but he had traveled here in this life, and even he himself doubted how Jesus had been resurrected.

"Of course, hehe... See! My friend! Something you want! With a thud, Floyse lifted a cover, revealing the contents inside.

"Wow... Hahaha... Finally... Finally! Hosokawa Nobumoto stroked it excitedly, and the metallic aura of his body intoxicated him. After years of hard work, he finally opened up the official network of Portugal through Freud and successfully purchased these two Western cannons!

"Hehe... It's good that you're satisfied. Floyse also made a lot of effort to get the government to approve the sale of the weapon.

In fact, the main reason is also because Portugal and Spain, for the sake of maritime trade, the two countries continue to friction and escalate their force. In addition, the Ming navy dominated Southeast Asia and seized Portugal's colonies in Southeast Asia, which led to the severance of the spice trade and the decline of Portugal's economic strength.

The neighboring country Spain was also eyeing up, waiting for an opportunity to annex Portugal, and in order to quickly recoup the funds to resist the Spanish invasion at any time, these maritime weapons were unsealed and sold.

"Motoyoshi! Bring the cannon up! Let's take a look! "Hosokawa Nobumoto can't wait to try his might.

Please note: Please pay attention to the rest of your eyes for a long time. Net Recommendation:

p; "Yes!" Murakami Motoyoshi ordered the two cannons to be moved to the deck with a wide field of vision, and under the guidance of the instructor brought by Floys, they set up the turret, cleaned the chamber, compacted the lead bullets, and shot and aimed step by step.

"My lord! The artillery is already in place! Murakami Motoyoshi was also excited, this is the first time to test the gun, looking at the size of this guy, it is estimated that the power is not small.

Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded, looked at the big torii castle not far away, and waved the military equipment in his hand fiercely.

"Fire!"

Boom! A loud bang like a thunderbolt exploded in everyone's ears, and a huge roar roared towards Otorii Castle, overshadowing any previous iron cannon sounds.

Boom! Click! The huge buckshot hit the city wall solidly, and the large torii castle was just a wooden wall, and suddenly the wooden wedge splashed, and the entire city wall let out a painful wail, and a large hole was broken in an instant.

The inertia of the lead bullet did not stop, and it broke straight into the city, and smashed heavily into a private house, and the strong vibration made the defenders in the city tremble violently.

"OMG!" Even all the soldiers of the Hosokawa Army widened their eyes, and the boss's mouth could stuff a watermelon.

"Good! Hahaha! Our army will win! Hosokawa Nobumoto saw that earth-shattering scene and shouted excitedly.

"Victory! Win! Win! "The morale of the Hosokawa army skyrocketed, and the strong visual impact stimulated everyone's nerves.

The defenders of Otorii Castle were terrified, they had never seen such a powerful weapon in their lives, and their morale suddenly fell to the bottom.

Western cannons, also known as Franc machines, are the Ming people's name for Portugal and Spain. The Furlong is not an iron cannon of an increased caliber modification, but a real large firearm: a cannon.

In the future, the new warship "ironclad ship" of the Hosokawa naval army will be fully equipped with this kind of Western cannon, and now the construction of the first ironclad ship is nearing completion, and it will soon be able to go to sea for sea trials.

The ironclad ship, which is actually a conversion of a large Ataka ship, is covered with a layer of 3 mm thick iron plates to strengthen the fire prevention ability. At the same time, in order to maintain balance, the bottom could only be enlarged to maintain buoyancy, and finally created an ironclad giant ship with a length of 32.4 meters and a width of 10.8 meters.

Due to the huge size of the ironclad hull, the hull is attached to the heavy iron sheet, and there is not even a spare mast, which is driven by the manpower in the cabin. This limits the speed of the ironclad ship, and it is impossible to maintain a long voyage, that is, it does not have the ability to sail far.

But this kind of warship, with a 2,000-foot range of Western cannons installed on it, is the real big killer. Even if it is only suitable for coastal operations, it will be enough to dominate the entire Japanese seas.

"Keep shelling! Hahaha! ”

Knock knock! Knock knock! Otorii Castle was suddenly plunged into despair.

That night, I don't know if it was a coincidence, the day was baptized by artillery fire, and at night there was lightning and thunder, and a downpour followed.

Rushing... The north wind is bleak, and the cold rain is biting. The defenders of Otorii Castle secretly opened the gates and braved the heavy rain to abandon the castle and flee.

Not far away, lightning flashed, reflecting a series of figures, it was the Oda army ambushed on the side. One of the generals at the head of the team, with a cruel smile, is Takigawa Kazuyi.

"Kill! Not a single one to stay! Kill them all! "The ferocious Oda army swooped down on the lamb trembling in the wind and rain like a vicious tiger.
