Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The iron artillery of the two sides fired at each other, and this was the first time in the history of Japan that the attack and defense were dominated by iron artillery.

"Quick! Fast! Advance! "Akai Tadashi was constantly directing in the queue, and one after another Ashigaru passed by him and threw himself into the front line.

Looking from a high place, I saw that between the Hosokawa army position and the main gate of the main horse, one after another, the zigzag-shaped bamboo bundle shield formation was like a multi-knotted centipede, guarding the ashitari in it.

Once you arrive outside the city gate, it is shaped into a green passage connected by the mountains. Within this passage, the shield-wielding ashigaru set up a safe passage for their companions.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Tsugawa iron cannon fired a salvo.

Cracking sound... The sound of popping beans on the bamboo shield is like a popping bean.

"Open!" Just after undertaking this round of attacks, a group of bamboo bundling shields suddenly issued a command.

Crash! I saw that the front of this bamboo shield was open on both sides as if it were open.

"Forward!" They were followed by Ashigaru Akai, who passed quickly with their heads down and their bodies low.

"Hey!" With another order, the open "gate" closed again.

Bang bang bang! Blocked the next salvo of the Tsugawa iron cannon.

"Open!" This cycle is like a fish gills that are closed together.

"Shoot!" Minohe Harimasa, who was guarding the ferry road, was still firing at the Hosokawa Iron Artillery Team, and their field of vision was only a straight line away, and the firing port was so small that they couldn't see the crisis in front of Otemon at all.

Although you can't see the iron cannon of the oar, the two-story oar of the corner oar is quadrangular and one-third of it is wide outside the castle.

"How! Can you see them! "Seven Nobuyuki and eight Nobuyoshi are guarding the corner oars on both sides, and they are also shooting here again and again.

"Back to my lord! You can see it! It's a bit far away, though! Accurate head may not work! Someone above replied.

"Then shoot me into the passage too! Cause trouble for them! ”

"Yes!"

Bang bang bang!

"Free fire! Free Fire! Fight the enemies who are on the rise! "Only Nobunaka Kunohe on the front could see Hosokawa Ashigaru, who was temporarily completely exposed when he was in the first place, and immediately changed his tactics.

"Yes!" The Tsugawa Iron Artillery Team didn't come to any more volleys, as soon as their ammunition was ready, they immediately came out from behind the wall where they were hiding, stuck their guns out of the pane, and bang! Then quickly hide back, clear the chamber of the gun, and fill it with new ammunition.

Burst! "Ahh It just so happened that the door of the bamboo shield cave was wide open, and this shot hit the shoulder of Akai Ashigaru who rushed out, and fell to the side of the road with a thud.

"Rush! Rush! Rush! Rush to the base of the wall! There were also a number of samurai captains in the ranks, and under their guidance, the ashigaru quickly passed through the passage and immediately dispersed to the left and right at the gate.

Stompe... Stompe... The Bamboo Beam Shield Gate blocked most of the bullets as much as possible, and sent Ashigaru to the front line in a steady stream.

At this time, under the wall in front of Honmaru, there were already a team of 100 people, and many people had gathered.

"Lift the door knocker! Bamboo shield shield! Above! Seeing that it was almost over, Akai Tadashi waved his hand and beckoned Ashigaru to lift the doorman, and he also followed the team and rushed up.

Soon passed through one bamboo shield defense line after another.

"Not good! They're knocking on the door! Shoot! Shoot! It wasn't until it was almost in front of him that Nobunaka Kuho saw the big log that was revealed at the moment of opening.

Bang bang! Bang! Everyone's firepower was concentrated on the bamboo shield in front of the door knocker.

Smack! Smack! The sound of striking was incessant, and the bamboo-bundled shield guards guarding here did not dare to open the door at all.

"Suppress the city gates! Support allies to pass! Igasaki Michishun saw this scene and once again set fire to the Otemon.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Three more rounds were fired in unison, and thousands of projectiles smashed like a giant fist on the many oars.

Cracking sound... Poof! "Uhhh The defenders were just busy trying to stop the doorkeepers from coming, and some of them even forgot to dodge, and a row of people was knocked down on board.

"Damn! Idiot! Be hidden! Nobunaka scolded and scolded, the round of shootings just now made him lose a lot of people.

"Open!" Seeing the opportunity, the bamboo shield quickly opened, and the door wood was released to enter the next round.

"Shoot! Shoot! Nobunaka Kudo was angry and annoyed when he saw that the door knocker had advanced one block again.

Bang bang! Bang! Just after firing a few shots, several Tsugawa iron cannon Ashigaru suddenly trembled, and then collapsed to the ground limply, and a pool of blood flowed from the ground.

"Open!" "Hey!" "Open!" … The Akai team grasped the rhythm, avoided the killing machine again and again, and finally succeeded in reaching the Otemon Gate.

At this time, the Akai Tadashi family stood under the castle and looked at the reserves on the left and right, all of which were ready.

"Kill!" Akai Tadashi roared and launched a close attack on the city defense.

"Oh!" The Akai team roared and began to climb the city walls.

The castle wall of this honmaru can be roughly divided into two parts, the lower part is a five-meter-high foundation made of large stone masonry, and the slope is about 100 degrees to the ground, which is already very sloping, and this part is called "Homi". The upper part is the oar, and the first floor is about two meters over, because the height of the people at this time is about one meter four, and the one meter seven or eight is an alien height.

These two parts of the wall are diagonal and directly connected, without the hindrance of dogs. Because the oars are wide and have a roof, there is no room for spears to play, and it can be said that the castle is completely tailor-made for iron cannons.

"Hit the gates!" Akai Tadashi gave an order, and Otemon is not idle here.

"One, two, hit!" "One, two, hit!" The leading samurai, Akai Tokiya, began to shout the trumpet.

Boom! Boom! Knock knock! The doorkeeper slammed into the door rhythmically.

The door clicks, and the back bolt and roof are readily available.

"Up! Hurry up! Whew... Whew! Led by samurai, each team crawled slowly on the "Homian", aiming for the outside of the turret directly above.

"Hmm..."Akai Yukiya finally climbed to the end of the "Dharma Face", and then stood up straight to rest, he was relatively tall, one meter six. Looking at the narrow room (firing port) next to him, which was only 45 centimeters high, he measured it with his gun, and then moved his body down cautiously, for fear that one would accidentally roll down again.

The structure of this narrow room is exquisite, and the one used for archery is called Yasama, and its height above the ground is 75 centimeters, and the hole is rectangular, and the opening is about 40 centimeters. Standing at the height of an adult man (please note that he is about 1.4-5 meters tall) and aiming downwards to shoot an arrow, which is exactly about half of his height, is the most labor-saving way to shoot an arrow.

The iron cannon of the iron cannon is narrow, the height above the ground is 45 cm, and there are three kinds of holes: square, triangular and round, and the opening is also about 40 cm. The reason why the height is so short is that they need to shoot in a kneeling position, the main reason is that the recoil of the iron cannon is too strong, and if it is a flat fire or an upward fire, the recoil can be reduced with the help of waist force.

But the dive shot is not good at all, the huge recoil can knock you to the ground, so the kneeling dive can depress the center of gravity very well, and the hit rate will also increase.

In addition, it should be noted that the inner diameter of the perforation is a reduced diameter structure, that is, the inner diameter of the wall is large, and the outer diameter will be reduced to one-third of the size, and some will even be half.

At this time, the Akai Yuki, facing a small hole of only 20 centimeters, finally found a suitable slope and stabbed it with one shot.

"Walk you!"
