Chapter 676: Kitada Motogu's First Battle
Colorful flags fluttering, swords and guns... Hosokawa's army was arrayed outside Shimoshishi Pass.
The pioneer commander Kitada Motogu, dressed in Nanban sulfur black and full, with a jujube-colored BMW "black tree" under his crotch, and holding a famous knife "Kanefang Gokuchi", these were all given to him by Hosokawa Nobumoto when he gave him the gift of his Yuan costume.
At this time, Kitada Motogu looked up at the sky, and then looked down at the famous knife in his hand, "Kanefang Wuji", and recalled the scene of the gift of knives at that time.
"This is a famous knife with five carcass cuts, which I ordered someone to build a while ago, do you know the meaning of this?" At the scene of the knife award, Hosokawa Nobumoto solemnly handed this famous knife to Kitada Motogu.
"Your Majesty understands!" Kitada Motogu respectfully took the famous knife, and the sharp cold air on it flowed into his body along the palm of his hand, making him shiver. He understands that he is cowardly by nature, and he is the successor to the Kitada family, and his father is afraid that he will not be able to shake those old and young in the future.
The knife is given to emphasize that when killing methods should be used, you must not be merciful!
The so-called "carcass cutting" is a test knife method in which people are hung side by side on a beam and then slashed horizontally. Cutting off one person is one carcass cut, two people are two carcass cuts, and so on. Among the records that have been handed down to future generations, the highest record is the seven carcass cuts.
"Kanebo" is the inscription engraved by the knife caster who cast this famous knife. The main body of the inscription is the name of the casting knife master, but it is generally not the real name, but similar to the "stage name".
"Lord, lord?" Kitada Masanari saw that Kitada Motoku was a little distracted, and reminded him that he was a member of the Kitada family, and his wife was the daughter of Matsunaga Hide.
In the Mise Rebellion, he killed the assassins who came to assassinate him, recaptured Kiriyama Castle, and created a good foundation for the return of Kitada Gukyo, and finally was able to revive the Kitada family.
"yes, I know." Kitada Motogu came back to his senses, looked at Masanari on the side, and smiled gently. Since he succeeded to the Kitada family, this political achievement took the initiative to transfer to his command, I don't know if it was the instruction of Matsunaga Xiu or his father's will.
Anyway, Zhengcheng's daughter and Jiuxiu's granddaughter will already be her main wife when she becomes an adult.
In the future, after he takes over the Kitada family, Masanari will also be the chief family elder, loyally assisting him, as well as the heirs born to himself and his daughter in the future.
"Goal! Lower New Stone! Advance! Kitada Motogu slammed the "Kanefang Five Trunk Cut", and the general attack began.
Knock knock... The drums of war are ringing...
Stompe... Stompe... The Hosokawa army marched in orderly steps, and the front row held high bamboo shields, closely guarding the army behind them.
Click... Click... The iron cannons stretched out one after another, and the upper and lower layers, intersecting each other, appeared densely packed, and they were all aimed at the approaching Hosokawa army.
The lower Shinishi Pass, like the Jiayu Pass in China, is the first pass in Ou and is the key to entering and exiting the Fukushima Basin. Originally, when it was first built, there was a six-meter-high city defense, and then it was rebuilt by Tsugawa Soji, and finally became a "world's first male pass" with a triple oar and a height of 10.7 meters.
The two sides of Xiongguan are close to the cliff of more than 100 meters high, one end is headed, one end is out, forming a simple word, constituting the natural barrier of the pass. The cliff on the front side is Bentenshan Mountain, and the triple turrets on it are all push-pull lattice windows, and they are also full of iron cannons!
"Stop!" A password.
Stampede! The Hosokawa army stopped and formed an isosceles right triangle with Shimonyshi and Bentenzan, and the Hosokawa army was the longest diagonal line.
Further on, it entered the killing range of the iron cannon of the Tsugawa defenders, and the Hosokawa army was stationed here, waiting for follow-up orders.
The effective firing range of the iron cannon is 100 meters, and the effective firing distance refers to the distance at which the weapon can achieve the expected accuracy and power requirements when firing at the intended target.
The maximum firing range of the iron cannon is 200 meters, and the bullet always has to land after flying out of the muzzle, and the maximum distance that the bullet can fly is called the maximum range. (Note that the warhead at the end of the trajectory still has a certain velocity, not because the velocity drops to 0 and stops flying)
The lethal range of the iron cannon is 50 meters, as the name suggests, it is the distance at which the warhead can kill the target, and some people call it "killing range". The reason for the quotation marks is that you have to hit the enemy in order to be considered a kill.
"Hmm..."Kitada Motogu looked at the hornet-like defense on both sides, and the hand holding the knife couldn't help but tighten. He was very nervous, after all, it was the first time to lead a team to fight, and it was a battle of 10,000 people as soon as he came up.
"Order Inatomi Yunao and open fire." Kitada Motogu steadied his mind and gave the first order.
"Fire!" Kitada repeated the order loudly.
"Fire!" The heralds also shouted orders.
"Fire!" Inatomi Yu swung down the raised sword!
Knock Click! Knock Click! Knock knock! Twenty Western cannons! Bursts!
Twenty huge solid bullets whizzed towards the lower new stone level, and this scene alone made people tremble when they saw it.
Boom! Boom! It was like a hammer slammed into the city lull, and the entire level roared.
Boom! A huge bullet smashed into the base gable, and it immediately sank into it, which shows how powerful it is.
Boom! A huge bomb hit the left side of the first floor of the triple oar, and a large hole was smashed open at once, and the wooden shingle-like anti-oar, even if it used a double-layer wooden wall, filled with sand and clay, could not withstand this bombardment at all.
"Wow!" Wherever the gun line passed, people and things flew together, and it was a mess.
Boom! There were two more middle oars, as if two front teeth had been knocked out, and the inside was stirred up with blood.
"Good! Hahaha! Go on! Go on! Kitada Motogu happily slapped his thigh with his left hand, and if he continued like this, he would be able to directly cripple the lower New Stone level, this Western cannon was too easy to use.
From today, artillery is officially used in siege warfare. Both Pingcheng and Shuicheng will be threatened by artillery, and probably only mountain castles or castles made of pure stone and wood can resist hard.
"Quick! Fast! Clear the chamber! Reload! Adjust yourself if the angle is wrong! "Inatomi directed the artillery to start cleaning the chambers, filling the ammunition, etc., the artillery was powerful, but the interval was long.
But it doesn't matter, power is everything.
"Report the damage!" Yoshikage Omura, the general of the lower Shinishi checkpoint, shouted loudly.
"Report! The third group on the first floor was seriously damaged, and the wall was pierced by enemy artillery fire! ”
"Report! The fifth group on the first floor was also badly damaged! "One floor and six groups too! In addition, Masamu Takizawa was unfortunately hit by artillery fire, and he was loyal to his family! ”
"What! Takizawa-sama is dead! Damn it! "Yoshijing Komura gritted his teeth with hatred, this was just the beginning, and he lost a general.
"Humph! It's our turn! Pass the order! Shelling the Hosokawa Army! "With the order of Yoshikage Komura, the wheel...
From eight windows, eight Western cannons were introduced! If you love it, how can you not pay attention to this or the hot online article, and chat about the online article together~
