Chapter 995: On the banks of the Natori River, the artillery fire is in the sky!!
Half of the twelve shells landed in the center of the Date family's forces, and the other half landed on the edge of the battlefield. Of course, there were a few unlucky people who were affected by the ashigaru of the Tsugawa family and the ashigaru of the Kasai family, while the people of the Osaki family escaped because they were far away.
The Date family has been blinded.
Damnation?
you, you can't just kill our people, right? Obviously there's something wrong with this!
Many people who reacted quickly had already speculated that this might have something to do with the huge warship on the Natori Kawa, but in any case, it was the survival that mattered. In just an instant, the remaining four or five hundred peasant soldiers on the battlefield dispersed in a hurry.
The people of the Date family ran so fast that even the people of the Tsugawa family didn't notice it. And although Osaki Yoshinao saw that the people of the Date family began to run away, he didn't dare to pursue, and the ghost knows if that thing like a demon law will come again, at least from the two times just now, as long as the people who don't get close to the Date family seem to be safe?
Natori Kawakami, after seeing the people of the Date family scattering and fleeing, Tadanobu Motoyama also stopped shelling. The two boats were lowered, and then he sat down and rowed towards the shore.
In a short time, Benshan faithfulness went ashore. And Yoshino Yoshino also ran over with Hazu Yukihide, and as soon as he saw Motoyama Tadanobu, Yoshino Yoshinari said with a grateful face, "Thank you Motoyama-sama for your help, otherwise I would be in danger!" ”
"Where, where! They all belong to their own retainers, and it is natural for them to help each other. ”
"I saw the flag seal of Date Minoru, and when I asked my subordinates to open the cannon, they all aimed at the cannon of the flag seal, so you might as well go and see if Date Minoru was killed?" Benshan Tadanobu suddenly thought of something, patted his head and said eagerly.
Hearing this, Yoshino Ryoshi and Yukihide Hazu also hurriedly turned around and ran towards the place where Date had died the most.
"Quick, search the battlefield and see if there is the corpse of an enemy general!" Yuzu Xingxiu shouted while running, just a short time ago, Yuzu Xingxiu also roughly knew what happened just now, and there was no longer Meng B before.
"Hah!" A group of frightened ashigaru also hurriedly began to search after making sure it was safe.
After a while, an exclamation attracted the attention of Yukihide Hazu and the others.
"I've discovered the Doctor Date Sakyo Palace!" A ashigaru pointed to a corpse in front of him and said in surprise.
Hearing this, Yuzu Yukihide and the others hurriedly ran over.
Although I haven't seen the real person of Date Minoru, judging from the dress of the corpse and the saber in his hand, combined with the age, it should be Date Minoru.
And just when Yukihide Hazu wanted to step forward and cut off the head of Minoru Ita, the "corpse" in front of him suddenly came to life, which startled Yukihide and the others.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!!" Date Minoru felt as if he had entered hell, and sixty years on earth were like dreams and illusions! A moment ago, Date Minoru had already seen the ancestors of the Date family, and the next second, Date Minoru woke up in severe pain all over his body.
The artillery purchased by the Tsukawa family from Portugal fired solid shells, not flowering shells.
Before the nineteenth century, artillery, especially European artillery, used solid shells. Why solid shells were used instead of the well-known flowering shells, there were two main technical problems that were difficult to solve.
One is the problem of the fuse, and the other is the problem of the strength of the shell. Because the flowering shell is necessarily a combination of hollow and cast pieces, it cannot withstand the pressure of firing for a moment. In fact, the only gun that could fire flowering shells was the Armstrong gun, which was already in the 19th century.
Of course, there are also some artillery pieces that use flowering shells. For example, the mortars used in the Ming and Qing dynasties were flowering shells, but their power was also very average.
It was precisely because it was a solid bullet instead of a flowering shell, and because the shell did not hit Date Minoru directly, so Date Minoru was only injured and woke up naturally after being unconscious for a while.
At the first glance of the real eyes, Date Minoru saw Yukishu Hazu approaching him with a sword in his hand. Before Date Minoru could see the specific situation clearly, his body had already subconsciously reacted.
And Yukasu Yukihide also came to his senses at this time, and said loudly to Date Minoru, "Date Sakyo Doctor's Palace, I didn't expect to meet you here today!" ”
"The Tsugawa family is really worthy of its name! Such a weapon is simply unheard of, and like a musket, it always gives a shocking effect. Date Minoru said with mixed feelings.
Date Minoru was not one of those ignorant peasants, and after the initial shock and doubt, Date Minoru vaguely guessed something. Thinking of the musket that first appeared in the Tsugawa family, Date Minoru secretly guessed that such an attack must have been caused by some unknown weapon of the Tsugawa family.
When I thought that I had been in Ou for 60 years, I could say that I was famous, but I didn't expect that today I capsized in the gutter of this Natori River.
"That's it! That's it! That's it! Date Minoru said three times in a row, and slowly sat up from the ground, "My head of Date Minoru must be worth a lot of money in the Tsugawa family, right?" ”
"I also know a thing or two about the reward and punishment system created by the Right Guard General's Palace, but my family doesn't have the courage to implement such a system! Looking at the world, only the Tsugawa family dares to play like this, right? ”
"When people are old, they always talk a lot. Being able to die today at the hands of the samurai of the Tsugawa family can be regarded as an ending to the life of the old man for decades. Before you start, can you let me know your name? Date Minoru blinked and stared at Yukihide Hazu and said.
Yukazu Yukihide replied with a straight face, "In Shimohazu Saburo Gyohide, the lord of Tsugawa Family Kawaguchi Castle!" ”
After speaking, Yukazu Yukihide put the sword back into the scabbard, and looked at Date Minoru with a strange expression, "I'm afraid that the Zuojing Doctor's Hall doesn't know, in this family, the merit of capturing the enemy general alive is much richer than the first rank." ”
"Come on, tie up Date Minoru for me!"
After speaking, before Date Minoru could react, two ashiki had already run over and held Date Minoru down.
"Bastard! I, Date Minoru, are bent on death, so I want to take the head and take it for myself! Why do you humiliate me? "Date Minoru thought that Yukazu Yukihide was trying to capture himself alive and then humiliate himself.
However, what Yukihide Hazu said was indeed true.
In the Tsugawa family, the merit of capturing the enemy general alive is really richer than winning the enemy general, and it is much richer.
Date Minoru was captured alive, and Date Munekiyo was taken away along with Date Minomune. As for the rest of the people who are alive, they have all become the exploits of the Tsugawa family's ashigaru, and their heads are hung around their waists.
The people of the Tsugawa family are beaming, and the people of the Kasai family are still in the middle of the Mongolian B.
Roughly similar to the situation of Date Minoru, Kasai Haruhin was also affected by the shells. Although it was not a direct hit, it was also knocked several steps away by the huge impact force.
Kasai Qingyin is also a few years old in his 50s, and he has been so old again. Lying on the ground is already out of breath more than in close breath.......
