Chapter 273: The Battle of Long Island (3)
"Kill! Take the castle of Kuwana! Hahaha! Kitada Nobuo was excited, he not only successfully won the title of commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army, but also received the support of the huge Hosokawa Naval Army.
Now he is in high spirits, commanding the army from afar, and breaking into Sangming City.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The iron cannon and the big barrel sounded in unison, and it was Murakami Motoyoshi who remotely supported the Kitada Army in attacking the city at sea. The current Hosokawa naval army has long since replaced its guns, and iron cannons and large barrels have gradually replaced the ancient arrows.
"Tut-tut, this Hosokawa iron cannon really lives up to its reputation, the power is great, after a few rounds of attacks, the head of the city has been beaten by half." Nobuo Kitada looked at the iron cannon with bright eyes, and his heart itched.
"Lord, that is the big barrel of the Hosokawa Naval Army, the so-called big iron cannon, which is not the same as the regular iron cannon used by the Hosokawa Iron Artillery Team. This iron cannon has a slow rate of fire, but it is powerful, and it is suitable for suppressing attacks; The regular iron cannon has a fast rate of fire and a large number, which is suitable for blocking or mobile warfare, and it is the three-stage attack tactics of this iron cannon that defeats the Takeda army. Muzao Guzheng explained on the side that he was actually the younger brother of Kitada Gukyo, the eighth generation head of the Kitada family. At that time, his brother who betrayed him took refuge in Oda Nobunaga, and was later reused by Nobunaga as the head of the Kitada family and the assistant to Kitada Nobuo.
"Yes, Hosokawa-sama's equipment is really good, if only I had such a team of iron cannons." Nobuo Kitada is extremely envious, the iron cannon is still very expensive.
Bang bang bang! Suddenly, there was a dense sound of iron cannons from inside Kuwana Castle.
"What! The enemy's iron artillery team is actually inside Kuwana Castle! Fujikata Chaocheng looked at Kuwana Castle in surprise, and a hint of ominous omen swelled in his heart.
Nagashima Ichimune has 300 iron cannons, which they all know, when Oda Nobunaga was in the middle of the ambush, Shibata Katsuya and Ando Mamoru were seriously injured, and the clan family was completely dead, which was due to it.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Oh no! There is an iron cannon hidden in Sangming City, and the adults of this family are caught off guard, and there are countless casualties! Nagano Nobubo ran over with a sad face, he was the fourth brother of Oda Nobunaga, the successor of the Ise Nagano family.
"What! Fast! Come with me! When Kitada Nobuo heard this, he hurried over like a thunderbolt from the sky.
Due to the breach of the city gate, Kitada Nobuo mistakenly thought that Kuwana Castle was within reach, so he sent his family's relatives up, expecting more merits, but he didn't expect this to be the end.
"Oh my God! Ninth brother! Ninth brother, wake up! Nagano Nobunpo pounced, and the first one to come out was Oda Hidenari, who was also Oda Nobunaga's younger brother. I saw that he had been shot several times, and there was no longer a snort.
"Xincheng! Xinchang! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Immediately afterwards, several more samurai were brought out, including Oda Nobunaga's two brothers, Oda Nobunari and Oda Nobumasa, both of whom were children of Nobunaga's uncle, Oda Nobumitsu.
"Woooooo Woooooo "Kobe Nobutaka's tears can't be stopped, too many relatives have died in battle, this is a tragic situation that the Oda family has never had.
"Uncle... Uncle? Yes! Uncle! Wake up! Nagano saw another old man brought out, and knelt down on the spot.
Kitada Nobuo was also stunned, and fell to his knees with a thud, this old man was Oda Shinji, Oda Nobunaga's uncle, and his sixth grandfather.
The Oda family was in mourning, and the samurai who died in battle was Oda Nobunao, who was Oda Nobunaga's cousin and brother-in-law. Hisahide Hisahide, the son of Masahide Hinode, because of his death, the heir of the Hite. Sasamatsu Chiyomaru, the eldest son of Sasa Narumasa. There were also a large number of other low-ranking samurai and ashigaru who died in battle.
"Withdraw... Retreat..."Nobuo Kitada swayed, he could already imagine his father's anger.
"Lord, you can't withdraw, you've fought to this extent, you've killed countless relatives, once you withdraw, you will lose your prestige, lord!" Wooden Furniture Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"But... But... Morale is low, how to fight again? "Kitada Nobuo's current predicament is the same as that of Takeda Katsuyori, and for the sake of political interests, he must not retreat.
"The water army, we also have the Hosokawa water army." Nobuo Kizo has another bad idea.
"No! After all, the navy is not good at land combat, and once we suffer heavy losses, how can we explain to His Highness Hosokawa! Fujifang Chaocheng hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him, if this is not good, the two families will break up.
"Hmph, why can't the navy fight on land? They will also engage in white-knuckle battles on ships, and they will also land to fight for ports, why not? His Royal Highness Hosokawa handed over the naval army to the lord for such a time of crisis. Don't hesitate, don't hesitate, hurry up and give the order! "In order to be able to win, the wooden cabinet has done whatever it takes.
"But—" Fujikata said to Nariyo.
"That's it! I have made up my mind, and I order the navy to immediately land and fight, and be sure to conquer the famous city of Sangming! "Nobuo Kitada interrupted the words behind Asari Fujikata, he can't lose, he must not lose!
*************
"Quick! Hurry ashore! Take the iron cannon, we will attack the city of Sanming! "The generals of the Hosokawa Navy, Sugi Ruo clan and Shirt Tsuna, father and son, led the naval army to land and fight. Fortunately, there was a kind reminder from Fujigata Chaocheng, and he learned that there were 300 iron cannons in ambush in the city, so they will also use iron cannons in this battle.
Bang bang bang! A burst of gunfire rang out, and an iron cannon of the army that was ambushed in Minomaru attacked the Sugiwaka clan and others who were moving forward in the passage below.
"Hidden!" Fortunately, most of them hid at the base of the wall and avoided large casualties.
"Roasting! Top left! Cast! "The shirt is mainly responsible for the baking team, and the bomb strikes are carried out against a group of troops hidden everywhere.
Boom! Boom! Two loud bangs wiped out a hidden army.
"Alert forward!" Sugiwaka's clan commanded the Iron Artillery Corps to open the way, ready to kill the enemies who came to their heads.
Bang! Bang bang! From time to time, the sound of iron cannons was heard in the city, and each sound struck Kitada Nobuo's heart. He was very worried now, not for the sake of the Hosokawa navy in the castle, but for his own position.
Boom! Another fireball erupted in the city, and it seemed that the resistance in the city was also very resolute, and the Hosokawa naval army was struggling step by step.
*************
"What! That guy actually let the navy go to siege the city! Damn it! When Hosokawa Nobumoto heard the news, he was furious, and he was really afraid of something.
"Out of the battle! Go to the city of Sangmei! With that, Hosokawa Nobumoto walked out of the tent in a menacing manner.
"Slow down." Honda Masanobu stopped Hosokawa Nobumoto: "Lord, please let this matter go, at least until this matter is over, don't ask." ”
"Why! That's the family's water army, I can't help him lose like this! ”
"My lord, my subordinates have heard that many of my relatives of the Oda family have died in this battle. If the lord only cherishes his subordinates and stops His Highness Kitada, then how will he feel when this matter reaches the ears of the main hall in the future? ”
"Hey..."Hosokawa Nobumoto sighed, Oda Nobunaga's temper has become more and more tyrannical recently, it seems that he should find a suitable time to persuade him. With the contact with Oda Nobunaga for a long time, I also have a deep feeling, and now I want to be independent, but I don't want to betray him, and I am really conflicted in my heart. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
