Chapter 379: The Battle of Miki (2)
"Retreat! Fall back! Miyoshi Masayasu gave the order to withdraw the troops in time, and the Hosokawa army supported each other and quickly evacuated the tiger's mouth.
"Repair the gate!" Kume Kukatsu saw that the Hosokawa army had withdrawn, mobilized a team of people, used wooden planks as cover, and rushed to the broken city gate, he was going to make a simple city gate, so that he could stop the offensive a little.
"Big Cylinder Team! Shoot! Stop them from repairing the city gates! Shigehide Suzuki commanded the heavy weapon barrel and blasted at the group of people.
Boom! Boom! Boom! A large number of lead bullets roared towards the city gates with a loud bang.
Smack! Click, click! Puff puff! "Ugh!" "Ahh The minfu let out a scream, the wooden board could not seal the sharp cylinder at all, and the sawdust that was hit splashed, and the penetrating projectile hit the minfu behind.
"What's up!" In just one round of attack, seven or eight corpses were laid, and several of the remaining people were wounded, and they immediately turned around and ran away in fright.
"Damn!" Kume Kukatsu hammered the city wall hard, the Hosokawa iron cannon was too strong, especially the kind of big barrel, there was no sale outside at all, it was developed by the Hosokawa family itself.
"Sakamoto Bei, attack!" Miyoshi Masakatsu led the second group of attacks, and this time they brought super-thick planks.
"The enemy is here again! Archery! Shoot arrows! Kume Kukatsu continued to command, and Yuyushikyu continued to shoot arrows at Sakamoto Bei, who was rushing over.
Whoosh! Wow! Jingling! Most of the arrows are blocked by wooden planks, and occasionally a few are protected by Ashigaru's armor.
"Don't rush! Walk slowly! Their attacks have no effect! Step by step! "Because they were carrying wooden planks, they moved slowly, and when they saw arrows coming, some people were inevitably frightened and wanted to cross the earthen bridge as soon as possible.
"Good! Set up the wooden shield! Fast! "As soon as you enter the tiger's mouth, you will immediately place the wooden shield on the other three sides, so that you can build a simple defensive position for the follow-up troops.
"Shoot! Shoot! The defenders at the mouth of the tiger fired at Hosokawa again.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Wow! Burst! The thickened planks played a role, and although there were casualties, at least they were able to get their feet here.
"Demolition two! Above! Taking advantage of the interlude in the cannon's attack, the three Baked Demomen swooped out of their hideouts and quickly rushed to the second gate.
"Quick! Place the baked jade! Good! Ignition! Take cover! The demolition team expertly lit the fuse and ran back behind the wooden shield to dodge.
Ahh A cheerful flame running towards their own future.
"Water falls!" Kume Kukatsu shouted frantically, his hairs standing on end.
Click... From the eaves above this door, a hole suddenly opened, boom! A large amount of water came from the inside, extinguishing the flame of the lead.
"What!" Miyoshi Masakatsu can see this very clearly, and the eaves above this door protrude into an oblique triangle, and at the bottom of the triangle is a trap, a defensive design that can be used to drop rocks or attack enemies with spears. Nowadays, it is the most effective way to use it to fall into the water to resist the blasting of the city gate.
"Go again!" The demolition team stepped forward again.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The defenders' iron cannons were replaced with bullets and were once again powerful.
"Watch for secrecy!" Miyoshi Masakatsu pulled back one of the Demomen, and the other two had already escaped.
Puff puff! "Ahh A large amount of lead bullet hit the two of them, and at this time, Miyoshi Masakatsu was already so shocked that his face was pale and his hair stood on end. That would blow them up!
"Ugh! Burst! The two people who were shot fell to the ground, and they used their bodies to protect the roast, and they could not be allowed to explode until they died.
"Good job..."Miyoshi Masakatsu's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and they exchanged their lives for the peace of others.
After the gunshots, the demolition team continued to rush over and relocate the roasting explosives.
Ahh Whoa... Again doused with water ...
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Poof! Shooting was again on the ramparts, and over time, the losses suffered by the Hosokawa army were also increasing.
"The defenders of the target city! Roasting! Cast! "This time we changed our tactics and prioritized attacking the defenders inside the walls.
Call! Bake flew over the city walls. Boom! Boom! Violent explosions rang out, but there were no screams of personnel.
"It's a closed wall!" Miyoshi Masakatsu exclaimed, generally speaking, there are few closed city walls, they are all open or semi-open, which can no longer be called city walls, but fortresses.
The Hosokawa army's attack was thwarted, and it was completely suppressed in the mouth of the tiger.
"Damn! Fall back! Fall back! "The three good policies had no choice but to lead the army to withdraw.
"My lord, the pioneer Sakamoto is defeated, and the second formation of Dinghai is ready to attack." Honda Masanobu respectfully reported the battle situation to Hosokawa Nobumoto.
"Hmm... See. Hosokawa Nobumoto held a telescope and saw everything on the battlefield.
"Knock on the door! Advance! Gamo Fuhide commanded Dinghai Bei to take over Sakamoto's attack, and at this time he ordered a team of Ashigaru to lift the heavy ramming wood.
"Archery! Shoot arrows! Kume Kukatsu saw that Knocker was passing through the earthen bridge, and hurriedly ordered Bowashigaru to attack.
Whoosh! Arrows are fired from within the narrow room, focusing on the ashigaru who hits the doorwood.
"Vine shield cover!" Sanyun Chengzhi ordered loudly, and suddenly a large shield protected the ashigaru who carried the wood.
Wow! The arrow was shot at the wooden shield, and the wooden door smashed through the earthen bridge safely and came to the mouth of the cypress tiger.
"Sanyun Chengzhi!" Sarutobi looked at him through gritted teeth, the anger in his heart burning inwardly.
"The enemy is in! Iron Cannon! Shoot! The three sides of the tiger's mouth suddenly exploded with the sound of iron cannons, and projectiles flew out along the narrow room.
"Vine shield cover!" Hosokawa Ashigaru continued to hold a wooden shield to cover Ashigaru who was carrying wood.
Wow! Click! Poof! "Ahh The wooden shields were not as thick as the large planks, and some of the wooden shields were hit multiple times, and they were immediately pierced through several small holes, hitting the people hiding inside.
"Big Tube Suppression!" Shigehide Suzuki also led the support team, using the power of the big barrel to suppress the defenders in the castle as much as possible.
"Lift up the big planks! Give up the hand shield! With a large plank! "Sanyun Chengzhi hid behind a large wooden plank, and found that this thickened one had not been penetrated, and he thought of something in a flash.
"Hey!" The large plank was lifted by two ashigaru and tightly guarded the three sides of the door-knocking wood.
"Quick! Knock on the door! Soon, taking advantage of the break in the defenders' iron cannons, they came to the gate.
"One, two, crash! One, two, crash! A samurai shouted a slogan and banged on the door.
"Spear! Stab! Suddenly, several spears poked out from the sinkhole on the original city gate and stabbed several ashigaru men who were carrying trees.
"Ahh Burst! A condescending thrust stabbed into the weakest point of the armor: the neck, killing four ashigari on the spot. The remaining few people could no longer lift the heavy log, and fell to the ground with a bang.
