The first daimyo to use a large barrel in Japan's Warring States was Otomo Sorin.

Otomo Sorin's first contact with the big barrel was when the Portuguese ship moored at Bungo fired a salute at the church, and the sound of a huge explosion reached the castle, and Otomo Sorin's shock after hearing it.

Otomo Sorin, using his identity as a Catholic daimyo and using all kinds of means, got the big tube from the hands of the Portuguese missionary teacher, and was so pleased that he named the big tube 'National Collapse'.

The meaning of the collapse of the country is nothing more than the fact that Otomo Sorin's exaggeration of the power of the big tube and the description of it, and the meaning of a city and a country that will collapse with a single shot, but in Nobunaga's ambition, the collapse of the country has become the characteristic technology of the Otomo family's big tube team.

In 1586, in the Battle of Usuki Castle, the former Kyushu overlord Otomo's family was already weakening, and in the face of the Shimazu army surrounded by the castle, Otomo Sorin's subordinates used the national collapse to bombard the Shimazu army under the castle.

Under the power of the collapse of the country, the Shimazu army was in disarray, and was defeated by the Otomo army that took advantage of the situation to kill from the castle.

And Otomo Zonglin, who was mediocre in his later years, also turned the tide because of his performance, regained a trace of his true character as a hero, and allowed the Otomo family to escape the difficulty of destruction, and supported the arrival of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's 200,000 Kyushu crusading army.

Hearing that the Otomo family was saved, Otomo Sorin swallowed his last breath with peace of mind.

At that time, the collapse of the country that the Portuguese dedicated to the Otomo family was the famous Franc cannon, which was a reloader cannon, which was much more advanced than Li Xiao's mortar in comparison.

The mortar cannon given to Li Xiaozhu by Rui Costa, a half-way monk, was barely as powerful as a three-pounder gun, and it could only hit fixed targets for siege.

But despite this, the power of the salvo of seven mortar cannons really shocked everyone.

At the moment when the mortar cannon roared, the war horses bolted in the Takeda army's formation either neighed and jumped wildly, trying to fight for the reins, or their legs were weak, lying on the ground and shivering, and feces and urine came out.

Although Li Xiao was standing thirty or forty meters away, he also felt the power of this mortar cannon.

Although he had opened his mouth wide at the moment, he felt a burst of tinnitus that did not stop, and the other retainers had witnessed this scene for the first time, and many of the samurai who usually boasted of their bravery were all pale at this moment.

In front of Li Xiao, the muzzle of a mortar cannon flashed with a dazzling firelight, and then the solid projectile crossed the city, drawing a high trajectory in the air, and after reaching the highest point, the shell began to fall and smashed directly.

And between the rapid sweep of the shells, there was a shrill and piercing whistling sound, which was extremely powerful.

The first shell hit a little farther, and went straight over the curved wheel at the head of the city, and smashed into the rear, with a dull thud that made people vomit blood.

The samurai of the Uchijima family at the head of the castle saw this scene, and they all hugged their heads and let out a cry of fear.

And the seven mortars in the front were clattering, and one by one the shells were fired into the air.

The second shell hit the curl wheel on the outer pill, only to hear a loud bang, and then sawdust and lime flew across the city, and billowing smoke and dust obscured the bullet point.

Before the smoke cleared, the third shell made a trajectory, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, and smashed the stone wall.

The solid stone shells smashed the stone wall directly into a large crater, and the stone shells immediately cracked, shooting out terrible stone fragments in all directions, and the Uchijima family ashigaru near the crater let out a terrible scream, apparently injured by the stone chips.

Immediately, the fourth, fifth, and sixth shells hit the outer maru one after another, and the ashigaru people of the Uchijima family in the castle were in a mess and fled in terror as if they had fallen into hell on earth.

But the doom of the Uchijima Army was not over, and the seventh shell hit Waimaru's arrow. …,

At the moment of being shot, the wooden covered arrow turret made a terrible clicking sound, which was the sound of wood cracking, and then the elevated arrow turret, like a drunken person, kept swaying from side to side.

Facing the crumbling arrows, the Uchijima family under the curved wheel shouted lightly and fled far away.

The arrow finally came to an end, and with a crisp click, the supporting pillar collapsed.

So the arrow oar broke off in its entirety from the center

rumble

The arrow tilted outwards in a daze, and fell directly on the crankwheel.

The curl wheel was immediately crushed, and half of the arrow wheel lay in the curl wheel, and the other was horizontal outside the curl wheel.

From the top of the collapsed arrow oar, three people fell out of the window one after the other, they let out a terrifying scream, and then fell into the cliff under Guiyun Mountain.

On the side of a half-collapsed crankwheel, Kawajiri shivered, cowering under the base of the wall, the famous knife that he had always cherished was now far away from him.

As the head of the Uchijima family, the old Kawajiri Shin now has no samurai demeanor, his face is covered with dust, and he sits there half-crouched with his head in his hands.

His gaze was unfocused, even though in front of him, Chen was holding a corpse sideways.

The corpse was a person who had been hit on the head by a flying piece of rubble, and the other person's head was dwelling with yellowish-white slurry.

However, Kawajiri Shishin didn't feel disgusted at all, he felt that he was able to save his life from the shelling of Fang Cai, and he didn't know how lucky he was.

"I can't go on like this, I'd rather be beheaded by a samurai than be stoned to death"

Kawajiri Shin Huo Ran stood up and looked at the muzzles of the Takeda Army's guns that were still smoking under the curved wheel.

Kawajiri Shin's eyes wandered around, and there was a panicked scene in the outer pill.

Immediately, Kawajiri Shin pulled a ashigaru over and shouted loudly, "Where is the lord now?" ”

The ashigaru was also covered with his head, and only after half a sound did he react, and he pointed to the edge of the stone wall in a trembling manner.

Kawajiri Shinshin left the ashiki and ran over.

I saw that on the edge of the crater of Ishigaki, the head of the Uchijima family, Uchijima Clan, was squatting there.

There was a crater in the middle of him beside him, and there was a banner on his side that said 'If you want to attack, then attack', and there were many footprints on the flag on the white background right now.

It's messy

The first round of firing of the seven mortars was completed.

With a shout from Rui Costa, he immediately took a large pole and cleared the gun in the still black smoke.

Rui Costa continued to exclaim: "Reload. ”

With Rui Costa's order, the ashigaru shoved the gunpowder projectiles into the muzzle of the gun again.

Seeing that the reloading was complete, Rui Costa raised his sword again and shouted loudly in all directions.

"Ready"

Just as Rui Costa's voice fell, an envoy with a small flag ran to the artillery position from the direction of the main formation and spoke to Rui Costa.

"My lord, my lord ordered you to stop the shelling?"

"Why? I'm playing well," Rui Costa asked unhappily.

Tsuban replied calmly: "The Uchijima family has surrendered"

Just after the first round of shelling, the gates of Guiyun City were opened, and a column of dejected Uchijima samurai marched out of the gate.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, the samurai of the Uchijima family and Ashigaru threw their spears and swords aside.

After unarming, the whole person knelt in front of the door.

Li Xiao was already riding on his black-forged horse at this moment, and said to his subordinates with a wave of his big hand: "Prepare to enter the city"

At this moment, no matter the retainers, they all admired Li Xiao.

In this cage city battle of less than fifteen minutes, Guiyun City, known as the city that never falls, fell.

More than 300 samurai warriors of the Uchijima clan under the Uchijima clan surrendered, and the Takeda army suffered no casualties. …,

It's night.

Dressed in white, Uchijima walked to Li Xiao's Chinese military tent, and he didn't know what fate awaited him.

And what he couldn't understand at the moment was why Guiyun City, which had been operated by the Uchijima family for four generations for a hundred years, couldn't even hold out for a while, and it was captured.

But now that Uchijima understands his fate, he is no longer in his hands, but depends on the tall general of the Takeda family in front of him.

Li Xiao looked at it, knelt down on the ground, and said, "Lord Uchijima." ”

"Don't dare to call it that, the general of the defeated army is already a prisoner of Lord Danma, and everything is at the disposal of the lord."

Li Xiao smiled slightly, he saw that Uchijima Shiri was talking like this, obviously he had already clarified his situation very well, this is very good, and the next disposal will be much simpler.

"In that case, I won't talk nonsense and announce the disposition of your Uchijima family."

"Please wait." Uchijima still said unwillingly.

"Oh? Do you have any more requirements? ”。

Uchijima hesitated and said, "I beg Tajima-sama to keep the name of my Uchijima family." ”

When Li Xiao heard this, he smiled slightly, his eyes narrowed, and said, "To be honest, I'm afraid it's difficult. ”

"I beg Lord Tajimamoru to make a big mistake this time, but this time I have seen the military strength of the Takeda family, and I will not betray the Takeda family again in the inferior class, and I will definitely obey in the future."

Li Xiao snorted and said, "Lord Uchijima, I still don't understand the current situation, among the daimyo, there is no tolerance for the treatment of rebels. ”

The Uchijima clan bowed his head and said in an almost pleading tone: "Lord Mamori, can you be lenient with my Uchijima family on my initiative to open the castle and surrender." ”

"When I surrendered, I only promised to spare and not to kill superfluously, and it seems that I did not promise your Excellency anything else."

The Uchijima clan gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Lord Tajima, if you can let our Uchijima family go, I can offer 8,000 kan to your Excellency as military funds." ”

Listening to Uchijima's words, Li Xiao smiled a little, isn't it for this purpose to talk to this person for so long?

Historically, after the collapse of Guiyun Castle due to an earthquake, there has been a legend about the buried gold of the Uchijima family in Hida.

The reason is that the Inner Island family has mined Guiyun Gold Mountain for a hundred years, and the accumulation must be very rich, but with the annihilation of the Ju clan after the earthquake, the buried gold that has been handed down is naturally peeped at.

When this legend was passed down to Edo, countless people went deep into the mountains to explore the ruins of Guiyun Castle, and wanted to dig up the buried gold of the Uchijima family back then, so many legends were left behind.

But in any case, it is certain that the inner island family has been mining in Yunjin Mountain for a hundred years, and the family has rich assets.

Therefore, Li Xiao's attack on Guiyun City this time, in addition to intending to return to Yunjin Mountain, was more to plot the gold and silver accumulated by the four generations of the Inner Island family.

After entering the city today, Li Xiao immediately sent his subordinates to look for the location of the Uchijima family's treasury all over the city, but after searching for a day, except for a few hundred stones of military rations, nothing was found, and it was obvious that this gold had already been transferred by the Uchijima clan.

At that moment, Li Xiao could only give up and use this method to dig up the money from the Uchijima clan.

When Li Xiao heard that the Uchijima clan was willing to sacrifice 8,000 yuan in one go to protect the name of the Uchijima family, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This money is enough to equip the entire flag and equipment, and if it is sufficient, all spears can be equipped, achieving a leap in equipment.

However, according to Li Xiao's estimate, the Uchijima family's family collection is definitely more than that, and the eight thousand kan is only a part of it.

As soon as Li Xiao heard that the Uchijima clan was willing to pay 8,000 yuan, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then I will promise Your Excellency to protect the name of the Uchijima family." ”…,

Sure enough, as soon as the Uchijima clan heard Li Xiao say this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Lord Tajimamoru." ”

Li Xiao smiled on his face, and he deliberately gave Uchijima Shiri such a judgment, making him think that the problems that could be solved with money were not problems, so it would be convenient.

Immediately, Li Xiaoyan said: "Although the name of the Inner Island family is preserved, punishment is inevitable. This time, the Uchijima family was defeated, and someone had to stand up and take responsibility. So unfortunately, Uchijima-sama, although the name of the Uchijima family has been preserved, Your Excellency cannot afford to bear the consequences of this defeat. Don't worry, after you die, I will let your eldest son continue to inherit the family business of the Uchijima family. ”

The Uchijima clan heard that Li Xiao had killed himself, and immediately said: "Lord Li Xiao, the people of the Ming Kingdom have a saying that death is invited to Hongmao, and it is also heavier than Mount Tai. Therefore, please allow Tajima to live for a few more years, and when the eldest son is successful, it will not be too late to die at that time. ”

When Li Xiao heard this, he secretly said in his heart that this Uchijima clan is really invincible, obviously he is afraid of death, but he made up this set of grandiose reasons, and he is really a master.

Li Xiao immediately made a very embarrassed look, and said: "This is not good, this time the inner island family rebelled, the lord of the imperial hall was very angry, and someone must stand up to bear the anger of the lord, so although I want to help, I am powerless." ”

Uchijima hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord Li Xiao, I am willing to give another five thousand, please help me clear this matter." ”

Very good, very good.

Li Xiao nodded secretly, this is a total of thirteen thousand.

Then under Li Xiao's continuous knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow, the Uchijima clan spit out a total of 20,000 yuan, which is definitely a big fortune out of thin air

In the end, looking at the appearance of the Uchijima clan wanting to cry without tears, Li Xiao still couldn't stop yet.

Li Xiao looked at the Uchijima family, but continued to calculate in his heart, although he promised to keep the name of the Uchijima family, he was not ready to go back.

But for the Uchijima family, it must be thoroughly mastered and controlled in the hands, and it must not be allowed to have a chance to repeat in the future.

And Guiyun Jinshan must also be firmly in his own hands.

Li Xiao secretly considered his final disposition plan......
