The middle-aged general was full of confidence in his samurai, and felt that it was okay to lead hundreds of samurai to defeat the three thousand Ming people outside, because he felt that those Ming people were too loose and could not be compared with his samurai at all.

But when the elder saw the mighty army of three thousand outside, he still felt that it was better to be cautious, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency's bravery is well-known in the world, but since there is the benefit of the city, why waste our warriors on the Ming people?" Let's see how these stupid Wise men attack the city, shall we? Maybe they can summon the thunder, but maybe they can't say! ”

Everyone laughed very playfully at the joke of the old man, and the city wall suddenly resounded with unbridled laughter. And at this moment, the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was also ready, and a small flag in the Ming army waved down, and suddenly the artillery roared in unison!

The sound of the cannon was like a muffled thunder that resounded in the sky, drowning out all the laughter on the city walls. Everyone on the city wall opened their mouths wide, but they couldn't make any sound, what just happened? Could it be an earthquake?

Not only did they hear the sound of thunder, but they also felt the walls of the city shake clearly, could it be that there was a sudden earthquake? They are no strangers to earthquakes, and this is the only thing they can think of.

But soon reality shattered their illusions, as they finally came to their senses from the shock, and someone finally found the big hole in the city wall and shouted loudly.

At this time, everyone was shocked, and they finally reacted, not the thunder, not the earthquake, but the weapons of the Ming people! The Ming people have mastered weapons like thunder.

The warriors in the city were all stunned, they had never seen such a weapon, it was powerful and amazing, and it suppressed them at once.

Not only were the ordinary warriors shocked, but even the elders, generals, and generals were stunned, but they finally had some knowledge, and the elders said with a solemn face: "I have long heard that there is a weapon called artillery in the Central Plains, and when it is launched, the sound booms for several miles, and it is extremely powerful. ”

The general's face was also a little unsightly, they had been laughing at these Ming people here, but they didn't expect them to toss out these powerful iron cylinders in the blink of an eye.

The old probe glanced at the big pit on the city wall, and said with a solemn face: "This thing is very powerful, I'm afraid this city wall won't be able to hold it if it goes on like this!" ”

The general's face was slightly gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, these Ming people are just relying on this kind of big iron tube!" If you don't rely on this kind of big iron tube, with their casual appearance, they will have no combat power at all! ”

"So, instead of letting them bombard the city walls here, let me lead the samurai to rush out of the city and completely kill these Ming people!"

"After these Ming people are killed, if you can seize these big iron cylinders and give them to the governor! In the future, our Fenghou Kingdom will definitely be able to attack the city and pull out the village, conquer everything and be invincible, even if it is to unify Kyushu! ”

The old family couldn't help but light up when they heard this, although they looked down on these Ming people, but they had to say that this kind of big iron cylinder was extremely powerful, and it was indeed a siege weapon, if it could be snatched up, it would definitely increase the national strength of the Fenghou country, and they would definitely be rewarded by the governor.

But what is the combat power of these Ming people, which makes the old man a little hesitant in his heart. And at this moment, the cannons kept ringing again, and these cannons were constantly adjusting, preparing to aim at the gates of Tachibana Mountain Castle.

The hesitant family elder finally discovered the intention of the Ming army, and said urgently: "These Ming people want to bombard the city gate!" ”

When the general heard this, he laughed and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, they want to bombard the city gate instead of bombarding the city wall, which is a good thing!" ”

Hearing this, the elder of the family was puzzled: "Your Excellency, why is it a good thing to bombard the city gate?" ”

The middle-aged general said with a smile: "Your Excellency, if the Ming people bombard the city wall, it will not be easy to repair the city wall in the future, and now they bombard the city gate, they will inevitably rush to the city gate, we only need to open the bow and shoot arrows at the city gate, a few bursts of arrow rain will be lost by more than half of the Ming army, and then I will lead the warriors to rush out, and the Ming people will inevitably be defeated and lost!" ”

The elder of the family was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "Your Excellency the ministry general's clever plan! ”

Just when the two were discussing, they only heard a bang, and the city gate was hit by artillery, and immediately a large hole was broken, and after two more shots, the city gate had been completely blasted open.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but laugh and said, "These Japanese people can't be stupid because of artillery, right?" Staying on the city wall and letting the artillery bombard the city gate like this! ”

However, now that the city gate has been blasted open, it will be much easier to capture Tachibana Mountain Castle. Zhang Zhijie immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Pass on the order of the governor, the first battalion and the second battalion will cover, and the third battalion will charge." ”

With Zhang Zhijie's order, the 3,000 soldiers immediately moved, and the soldiers of the first and second battalions immediately lined up and marched forward with arquebuses.

At the same time, the samurai on the city wall were also nervous, and the next thing was to move seriously. The general immediately gave the order, and all the samurai prepared, and the dense samurai raised their bows and arrows, just waiting for the Ming army to come forward and then open their bows and shoot arrows.

Under the expectation of the generals and the warriors, the Ming people began to line up and move forward, and the generals couldn't help laughing when they saw this, and the old man was puzzled: "Why is Your Excellency the general laughing?" ”

The general laughed: "I laugh at this Ming man for being so stupid!" Knowing that there are bows and arrows on the city wall, there is still a dense formation, isn't this coming up to send him to death? ”

After hearing this, the old man thought about it, isn't that the case? Ming people came forward in such a dense formation, what was it that was not looking for death? There's no need to aim at all.

Just as they were thinking this, the artillery under the city rang out again, this time not at the city gates, but at the samurai on the city walls.

The samurai on the city wall was immediately startled, and the samurai who was holding a bow and arrow immediately jumped up and scrambled to dodge.

Although they were taken aback at first, after all, there were only four artillery, and the accuracy was not very accurate, so under the constraints of the generals, they reorganized themselves and scattered and re-aimed their bows below.

The dense Ming people below are still moving forward, they are all holding a strange thing in their hands, it doesn't look like a bow and crossbow, and it can't be a sword or gun, these Japanese warriors are very puzzled, could it be that these Ming people are ready to pick up that crooked thing and hit people?

Although he didn't know what Ming was really doing, the generals were silently calculating, although he had hundreds of samurai in his hands, but there were only a hundred archers among them, if he shot seven times, Ming people's dense formation would definitely suffer huge losses.
