Matsukura Castle is built on Mount Matsucang, which is also known as Mount Kano, the elevation of Mount Matsukura is 430 meters, there are cliffs on three sides, only one side can go up the mountain, it can be described as very difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As the main castle of the Shiina family, the castle is designed as a five-koku, five-fold inside and outside, and it is the largest castle in Echichu.

At present, Matsukura Castle is being bombarded by the Takeda Army, which is unprecedented.

After being awakened from his sleep by the sound of cannons, Shiina Keinao hurriedly ran down the steps, and the deafening sound of cannons outside the castle shocked Shiina Keinao even in the castle tower at the top of Matsukura Mountain.

Although he had heard that the Takeda Army was armed with firearms such as stone fire arrows, he had also seen them and felt that it was impossible for them to make such a violent sound with the launch of stone fire arrows.

Moreover, the frequency of the Takeda Army's artillery bombardment is so high that it is not at all the scale of the original intelligence that there are only a few large cylinders, which is at least dozens of large cylinders.

"Where did Li Xiao get so many big tubes?"

Suspicious thoughts flashed through Shiina's mind.

At present, he can only pin all his hopes on the solidity of Matsukura Castle, which was built by the Shiina family according to the scale of the 100,000 stone-level daimyo castle, and after more than 200 years of experience, the castle is strong.

All Shiina Keinao can only pin all these hopes on this.

Similarly, the shelling of the Takeda Army at dawn also woke up Yasuyin Shiina, who was sleeping soundly.

The resting place of Shiina Yasuyin is in a side hall near Honmaru, and its comfort is far less than that of the castle tower.

But at this moment, for him, the castle tower, which is the symbol of the castle lord, no longer belongs to him. He was also happy to flee from this place of power strife.

The two Echigo singers who were sleeping beside Shiina Yasuin heard such a shelling sound like a thunder god's roar, and they fell on Shiina Yasuyin's body in panic.

Yasuyin Shiina still had a hangover expression, and after pushing the two women away, when he barely stood up, he accidentally stepped on the wine bottle and fell to the ground again.

"Adult, adult"

The two singers hurriedly called.

Shiina Yasuyin laughed out loud at the moment, and said: "Shiina's family is over, Shiina's family is over." Give me all the funeral. ”

At this time, under Matsukura Castle, the first round of shelling had ended.

On Li Xiao's artillery group position, the twelve-pounder cannon was the first to roar.

There was a loud roar that shook the earth.

The roar of these twelve-pounder cannons was far better than the rest of the cannons, which was why Shiina Keizhi was so shocked, thinking how could there be such a loud cannon.

Then five nine-pounder cannons rang out in unison, followed by twelve six-pounder cannons.

In the dawn of dawn, the appearance of Matsukura Castle is unrecognizable.

But you can vaguely hear the screams and shouts coming from the city gates, and the sound of the collapse of the civil buildings, and you can vaguely guess what is going on in the city.

"Don't stop shooting"

"In the fourth round of firing, the muzzle of the gun was raised as an extension of fire."

After the second round of shooting, Rui Costa continued to give orders to his men.

The artillerymen took a large duster to brush the chamber, clean the slag, and then fill the ammunition, and the ashigaru of the large barrel team was very well trained, and in a short time, the loading work was completed.

Then the third round of shelling began.

……

The shelling went on for half an hour.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Li Xiao in the Takeda army's main formation raised the monocular Qianli Cylinder to carefully observe the effect of the artillery bombardment.

After looking at it for a while, a slight smile appeared on Li Xiao's lips.

In the bright sky, the outside of Matsukura Castle was now in ruins, and most of the four pills had been destroyed, and there was a scene of ruins.

The generals of the Takeda Army on the side are far away, and they don't have Li Xiao's one-eyed thousand miles, but Matsukura City's current situation is also clear, and now they are all dumbfounded.

Matsukura Castle is a fortified castle in Echichu after Toyama Castle, and it is not easy to capture, but under the bombardment of the large barrel team, it actually became like this.

It's unbelievable.

"It's unbelievable that Matsukura Castle is like mud and sand, and it collapses with a single blow." Fujido Gao Hu said on the side.

"Under the big tube, there are few strong cities in the world that can support it for three days." Kinoshita Hidecho also made this assertion.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Xiuchang, keep this word, let's talk about it when we attack Odawara Castle in the future." ”…,

Odawara Castle is the first fortified city in the world, and it is also the main castle of the Hojo family, Li Xiao said so, and even said that he had the ambition to sweep the Kanto.

The generals watched the performance of the big cylinder team, and they all had confident expressions at the moment.

Indeed, before the advent of European fortresses and reinforced concrete fortifications, artillery was enough to destroy almost all the defensive structures of the Warring States period in Japan.

Among the generals of the Takeda family, Uchijima's expression is extremely rich, and in the matter of returning to Cloud City that year, he first tasted the power of Li Xiao's mortar cannon.

After the shelling was completed, Li Xiao raised the military ration and decisively pressed it down.

At this time, the fierce drums of the whole formation beat loudly.

Snake Tail Bei, as well as the general of the Jiboke family, Terashima Jobada, and Mizugoshi Morishige all led their troops into Matsukura Castle.

The red Takeda Ling, the vertical two leading two flags of the Jimbo family, is spread out under the city.

The ashigaru were all armed with spears and roared into Matsukura Castle.

Matsukura Castle's outer pill warp wheel has basically been destroyed, and the siege soldiers only need to fill the trench to enter the city.

After an unimpeded attack on the outer maru, in the early morning sun, the Takeda soldiers surged down the trail to attack the Shiinomaru, where they encountered resistance from the Shiina army.

The Shiina army of Shiina of Shinomaru put up a stubborn resistance, and under the broken wall, arrows shot out from time to time.

The roads of Nihonjomaru are very narrow, which is not convenient for the deployment of large armies.

On the road, there were barricades-like 'ko', which allowed the defenders of the city to defend and resist layer by layer, while the defenders of the castle could condescendingly shoot at the Takeda army moving in the middle of the castle from the Minomaru arrows, the narrow mouth of the curved wheel, or from the top of the stone wall.

Therefore, the Terashima job team which is a striker is here

1/2……，
