Chapter 619: Battle! War! War! (Page 1/1)
The soldier of the death squad picked up the Sunny Doll and just glanced at it and threw it on the ground, just now he thought that the person in front of him was hiding something. angrily reprimanded Kimura not to be lazy, and turned to leave.
Kimura picks up the sunny day doll on the ground and gently pats the dirt off the ground with his hand. Cautiously kicked into his arms, but he didn't notice a small stain on the doll's smiling face.
Soon the Changxing army was ready, and with an order, dozens of artillery pieces began to bombard Machida Castle. Dozens of shells hit Machida Castle, and the bricks and stones at the head of the castle flew wildly, and people were constantly injured and fell to the ground.
The Japanese people in the city also began to return fire with a small number of large cylinders, but the large cylinders cast by the Japanese people were not comparable to the artillery of the Changxing Army in terms of range.
Those large barrels were destroyed before they could be fired in two rounds, and only the solo of the Nagako Army artillery outside Machida Castle remained. Seeing the mute fire of the artillery of Machida Castle, the Japanese people rushed towards the moat with sandbags on their shoulders under the order of the Changxing army.
There were always Japanese people in Machida Castle who were observing the situation outside the castle, and when they saw the pirates driving the Japanese civilians to fill the river, they did not have the slightest mercy and shouted for the archers to shoot the people who filled the river.
Despite the roar of the Changxing artillery, there were still many archers shooting arrows at the head of the city. Many of the Japanese who ran against the sandbags were shot and fell to the ground screaming, but no one took a step back.
They would rather risk their lives to fill the river than go back and be beheaded with steel knives. The murderous pirates in the past few days have left a deep impression on them, and everyone subconsciously obeys the pirates' orders.
Those who survive know one thing in their hearts, and that is that pirates are what they say, and they will not die if they are obedient.
Kimura is also one of the members of the group who fights against the sandbags to fill the river, and he runs with all his strength against the heavy sandbags. Looking at the arrows flying overhead, and listening to the screams of the people around him who were shot, his heart jumped out of his throat.
At least thirty paces away from the moat in front of him, Kimura felt that his steps were a little heavy, and his breathing began to become confused.
Suddenly, "Whoosh! With a sharp arrow, a sharp arrow hit the sandbag on his shoulder, so frightened that Kimura almost killed what he was holding, dropped it and turned around and fled.
But reason still prevailed over fear, and if you didn't throw the sandbag into the moat, even if you could escape back, you would not be able to escape the fate of being beheaded.
Kimura doesn't want to die yet, and there is still that gentle and lovely wife at home. Yumi would bow politely when he entered the house and say, "Welcome home!"
He was still young and had not lived long enough. There is still a lot of time for him to enjoy in the future, and he does not want to die under Machida Castle and become one of the corpses.
Kimura kept cheering himself on: Kimura, you can do it! Yumi at home is waiting for you to go back, and you can't let Yumi down......
Soon he came to the moat, dropped his sandbag, turned and ran. There are no heavy sandbags on the body, and the lighter the feet.
The arrows that came down from the city seemed to be dodging him, and he was not hit until he ran out of range of his bow. Kimura, who had escaped death, came back and knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and the feeling of escaping death just now almost broke him down.
Kimura, who was crying bitterly, felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and when he looked up, he saw a somewhat familiar face.
This man was the pirate who had returned his Sunny Day Doll to him, and just when Kimura was at a loss, the man spoke, "Are you good with me, would you like to come to my Yamamoto team?" β
β¦β¦
With the cover of the artillery of the Changxing Army, the casualties of the Japanese who participated in the river reclamation were not so heavy. At the cost of less than 300 men, the moat of Machida Castle was filled, and the surviving Japanese were incorporated into a temporary team by the death brigade, ready for street fighting when the castle was broken.
As for whether these people will defect to Zhang Dou at all, they have all contributed to the reclamation of the river just now. Even if they wanted to surrender, they had to ask the people in Machida Castle if they would agree, and they would have to ask the shogunate if they would agree.
The moment the moat was filled, the early sun cannon was pushed a mile away from the city. At this time, the Japanese people had no weapons to counterattack, and the early sun of the Changxing army could easily aim at the head of the city and shoot.
The moment the first sun cannon fired, it was only a matter of time before Machida Castle was broken. More than 20 catties of iron balls fell from the sky, and in the era when there was no reinforced concrete, it was definitely a weapon to break the city.
In less than an hour, Machida Castle was blown down a large section of the castle wall. The moment the city wall fell, the death brigade rushed to the city with the new men.
Just when the Changxing army, including Zhang Dou, thought that the victory was in hand, a fast horse galloped from a distance. The knight on the horse came to Zhang Dou and jumped off the war horse to salute, but: "Report!" The commander, Tokugawa Iemitsu personally led an army of 20,000 towards Machida Castle, which is less than five miles away! β
Hearing this, everyone present was silent, Tokugawa Iemitsu fought well, this was the rhythm of encircling and annihilating the Choko army under Machida Castle.
The dilemma of continuing the siege and defending Machida Castle before the shogunate army arrived, or stopping the siege and blocking the shogunate army with all its might, was lost to Zhang Dou.
If you attack Machida Castle with all your might, you may be able to enter Machida Castle before the shogunate army arrives. In that way, the Changxing army will lose its mobility and fall into passivity, and the Changxing army, which has lost its ability to maneuver in the Wa Kingdom, will be consumed sooner or later.
If the shogunate army was stopped with all their might, the nearly 30,000 Japanese people in Machida Castle were not vegetarians, and if they went out of the castle to attack the Choko army, the Choko army would immediately fall into a situation where they would be attacked by the enemy.
This seemed to be an unsolvable problem, and everyone's eyes were on Zhang Dou, waiting for the final order!
Zhang Dou pondered for a while, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Since Tokugawa Iemitsu wants to fight, let's fight! I want him to fight the bloody battle of the Zhang Douhun River, the defense of Changsheng Island, and the battle of Quang Ninh Fortγ......
After experiencing one bloody battle after another in a short period of time, how could he retreat in front of the Japanese people. If Tokugawa Iemitsu wants to annihilate himself completely, and if he wants to eat himself in one bite, it depends on whether he has a good pair of teeth.
Zhang Dou looked at Machida Castle, where the city wall had collapsed, and ordered with an expressionless face: "Set fire!" Burn down Machida Castle for me! Tell Takano that I don't want to see a good house in Machida Castle when I come back! The rest of you will come with me and meet Tokugawa Iemitsu for a while! β
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
A shout was shouted in the Changxing army, and Takano Ichichi came to Machida Castle with 2,000 soldiers of the death brigade and more than 3,000 newly joined Japanese people.
As the fire crows flew into Machida Castle, the fire began to spread throughout Machida Castle. The wooden houses of the Japanese people burst into flames when they saw the fire, and the Japanese samurai who were preparing to fight back against the pirates at the gap were frightened by the sudden fire.
No one could remain indifferent to the fire, and looking at the fire burning around them, the Japanese gradually retreated into the city.
