Of course, there are still some regrets, if it was the walls of Sannomaru that were smashed, then now the army of the Kuroda family has definitely begun to attack Ishiyama Honganji. So it's just that the walls of Ninomaru were smashed, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

But the people of Ishiyama Honganji did not rejoice for long, because after the shelling stopped that day, the shelling of Kuroda's house began again the next day, and this time it did not last that long, this time it was only less than half an hour.

It's not that the Kuroda family's navy is unwilling to attack, you must know that this time in order to replenish their attack, the Kuroda family has prepared a lot of supplies on the coast around Harima Province to facilitate the use of the navy, so they are not short of shells and supplies at all.

The reason why they chose to attack only a few rounds was to reduce the damage to the artillery itself, which was indeed still harmful to the artillery itself in such a continuous attack.

The second is also an indirect result, that is, it saves the Kuroda family's shell consumption. At present, it is difficult to make cannonballs that are convenient for Fukufune in Wakuni, and even the Kuroda family's handicraft workshop produces very limited shells a year. Most of them still need to be obtained through various relationships in the Ming Dynasty, so it is a good thing to be able to save some.

The third and most important point is that the Kuroda family naval army hopes to slowly destroy the confidence of the defenders of Ishiyama Honganji Temple through continuous artillery attacks.

Because the damage of artillery weapons to personnel is really minimal, for example, the artillery attack for such a long time on the first day only killed and injured less than 100 people, for the population of more than 70,000 or 80,000 people in Ishiyama Honganji, it is not even a penny!

But the biggest effect of artillery is to cause great psychological pressure on the people in the city. As long as it can continue to give the impression that the Kuroda family will carry out shelling, then for the people in the city, it will always mean that they will be in danger. At that time, through the continuous shelling, it was indeed able to put great psychological pressure on the Honganji side.

Because the Kuroda family didn't care about inflicting too many casualties on the believers, there was not much difference between firing shells continuously throughout the day and carrying out a small amount of shelling within the load. It is precisely because of this that Kuroda Toshinori and Xu Shouguang negotiated to shorten the duration of the shelling and reduce the number of shelling.

Who said that the officials of Honganji Temple also found out about this situation and told their subordinates about it, but even if the number of shelling decreases, it still means that there will still be danger.

As long as there is shelling, there will be casualties, this is inevitable. So they are more concerned about how long the Kuroda family's shelling will last, rather than whether the time will be shortened.

However, what the people of Honganji waited for was shelling for more than half a month, and slowly many defensive facilities in the castle were greatly damaged.

At first, the people of Honganji Temple would go to make some repairs, but in the many rounds of attacks, many facilities were permanently damaged, and it was difficult to repair them at all, especially like Xiaolu, who was smashed and fell there, and after repairing, it was smashed to pieces again, which is a very, affecting the momentum of the defenders. If it is said that there is a third patch, or is it smashed, for, which phones? It will be a completely unbearable psychological pressure!

From just now to now, we have talked many times about the pressure in my heart, and this is the gift that the Kuroda family wants to give to the Ishiyama Honganji side. Since you dare to provoke the Kuroda family, you must be mentally prepared for all kinds of things. If you don't have such mental preparation, then it's better to be honest, and it's clear that Honganji is not such an honest person.

After half a month of shelling, the people in Ishiyama Honganji Temple finally had chaos, and the cause of the chaos was that a section of the wall of Sannomaru was finally smashed and collapsed by the artillery of the Kuroda family.

This is very unfortunate news for the people of Ishiyama Honganji, because not only Sannomaru, but now all the walls from Sannomaru to Honmaru have been smashed open, and the problem is that no one has dared to repair it yet.

However, for the Kuroda family's side. There is nothing to be happy about, you must know that it took half a month of continuous shelling to blow up Sannomaru! As the commander of the navy, Xu Shouguang felt that his face was a little colorless.

Because in the previous battles when the navy assisted the army, this situation never happened, and it was often the second or third round of the first artillery bombardment that could blow up a gap in Sannomaru. And this Ishiyama Honganji seems to have received the help of the gods and Buddhas of Manten, and it took half a month to open this opening on Sannomaru.

But no matter what, with a hole in the current city wall, it is very convenient for the Kuroda family's army to attack! If the Kuroda family's actions before were only to besiege Ishiyama Honganji Temple and repel the counterattack of the soldiers inside, now they are finally showing their tiger teeth.

Ishiyama Honganji was very tenacious in its defenses, and when the Kuroda family began to attack the gap in the Sannomaru, they continued to resist the Kuroda family by relying on the sandbags built with grain behind the gap.

It's just that at this time, the elite trained by the Kuroda family soldiers is reflected. Even if there are only three Kuroda soldiers attacking at the same time, they can show a very good offensive posture through their own cooperation. Sometimes two spears defending and one spear attacking can also kill the opposing defenders.

Through their own bravery and fearlessness, the soldiers of the Kuroda family slowly broke through the defense of the side of the Ishiyama Honganji, and there may be only a few people who entered the Ishiyama Honganji Temple at the beginning, and the soldiers after them were all one after another, and soon more and more soldiers broke through the defense line composed of food. And successfully rushed into the city.

Honganji's defense line is mainly composed of monks and soldiers this time, after all, it is already a matter of life and death, Honganji still needs to show its strongest combat strength. But the problem is that the number of elite monks is about 8,000 people. The rest were the rest of the ordinary believers, and these people made up the majority of the population.

The soldiers of the Kuroda family are now fighting with the men and horses of Honganji Temple on the front line, and the men and horses on both sides are fighting like meat grinders around the defense line.
