Chapter 8: Nobunaga's Attack

While Lorraine was preparing for an attack that could come at any moment, Oda Nobunaga returned with her army as the current head of the Oda family, the head of the three Toei royal families, and the shogunate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Nobunaga rode on a war horse, and his yin-yang eagle eyes (oriental telescope) in his hand stared at Edo, the center of the world and her capital.

Now it has been seized by a group of white-skinned Xiyi who don't know where they came from, and it is said that there are as many as 10,000 people, as well as the advantage of a fleet and iron artillery.

This had to make her wonder, could it be that these people were invited by that bastard Shota of the Tokugawa family?

The Tokugawa tortoise does have this record, and they are the only ones in the entire archipelago who recruit mercenaries on a large scale, especially foreign mercenaries.

Even the hateful Uesugi Kenshin had a lot of Xiyi cavalry under him, all of whom were good men and not idle people.

As for Nobunaga himself...... It seems that only those down-and-out Fangshi (mages from the Eastern Continent), doctors from Xiyi, and the Iron Artillery Corps have taught these auxiliary forces to have the presence of foreigners.

"Nobunaga! There is an urgent report from the ninja army! ”

Taking the scroll handed over by the small flag, Nobunaga was a little helpless, wouldn't these ninjas keep pace with the times?

Learn from their counterparts in the East and West, intelligence unloading, easy to transport and hidden notes will die ah!

If you have to use scrolls, this kind of thing is not practical and easy to be captured by the enemy, it is really speechless!

"This group of people called themselves Bretanians from the New World, and the purpose of coming to Dongying was actually to establish diplomatic relations...... It's hard to believe, is there a way to see this? ”

“…… There were more than 9,700 Bretanian ghost animals on the shore, more than 50 warships, but the sailors were highly vigilant and could not be investigated in detail, and the number of heavy iron cannons was unknown, but each man had a new type of iron cannon. ”

Well, Nobunaga felt that the information in his hands was almost useless except for the number of people and the number of iron cannons, and this was what the ninja army handed in!

Don't think that ninjas are as powerful and handsome as in TV, movies, and anime, in fact, almost all of the ninjas in Toei are from broken backgrounds.

I can write three-legged cat kung fu, and then some messy knowledge, some mysterious spells, and most importantly, a sensitive body.

These constitute all the skills of a ninja, a super hodgepodge, a panacea that looks like everything, and to put it bluntly, a super half-ass.

Moreover, intelligence analysis and probing, such a relatively professional thing, their role is really not as good as that of the army, at least the intelligence submitted by scouts and spies will seem to be more focused.

"These ninja armies don't seem to be of much use......"

"Lord, I don't know what our army is going to do next?"

“…… Array, attack Edo with a siege array! Cheer up, this time the enemy is not ordinary! ”

"Hey!"

So, when Lorraine received the news, a large number of troops appeared outside Edo Castle, all of them gathered under the banner of plum blossoms, and marched towards the city in battle formation.

"It looks like the army of the Dongying people has returned, how is our army gathered?"

"Well, you know it's too comfortable these days, so the troops ......"

"Tell the truth, or I'll throw you on the death squad."

"Yes! At present, only 3,000 men were assembled, and the others could not immediately enter the battle due to physical strength or illness, and General Alexander, the deputy commander of the legions, had not been found until now, and it was said that he was looking for Miss Charlotte. ”

What can Lorraine say?

A group of people were confused when they saw the world of flowers, and two-thirds of the troops could not participate in the battle, so it can only be said that the belief of the Brittan soldiers was not qualified.

Just Dongying beauties and boys can defeat them, if they come to Songyue, won't they be directly confused to death by Dongtu?

It's okay to be a soldier, but Alexander, as the deputy commander, is you still looking for Lorraine's women's identity, and you can't even return to the camp, is this really okay?

Whether they have problems or not, when the time comes, war will not wait for you to be ready.

In the end, Lorraine could only take these men to the Edo city wall, leaving a few sailors to defend the camp, which could barely serve as a little comfort.

Edo, as the center of trade and politics in Toei, never thought of building a castle wall from the first generation of castle lords, and the castle wall in front of them in Lorraine was a low castle wall built by the Oda family after they took control of Edo.

Whether it is height or strength, it cannot be compared with the fortress of Dongtu at all, perhaps because of the difference in construction methods, it is stronger than similar city walls in the west, and a magic circle is arranged.

However, the enchantment of other people's city walls is to strengthen the wall structure and increase the resistance of magic power, and the Dongying people are actually just to dispel ghosts, keep safe and clean automatically!

In addition to the fact that this enchantment is a little useful for dispelling ghosts, the other two functions have an egg use!

And the height is too low, the five-meter-high brick and stone city wall feels like it can collapse with only one round of shelling, which is really worrying to look at.

Just when Lorraine arrived a little apprehensive, the enemy's phalanx also appeared in view.

"It feels normal, it's just that there are a lot of muskets...... But why did these musketeers wear armor? ”

"My lord, wearing armor will be able to fight hand-to-hand in close combat!"

"Huh? Melee? Could it be a bayonet charge? ”

"Bayonets? No, no, no, in addition to the iron cannons and bullets in their hands, the iron artillery team is also equipped with wooden shields and combat knives......"

This strange oriental musketeer is really strange, according to Miura, the iron artillery team will quickly transform into melee after firing, light infantry with shields.

I don't understand it at all, so there is no sensitivity, and for such a large physical exertion, is the iron artillery team a consuming class?

The Plum Banner did not confuse Lorraine for long, because the iron artillery team was the first to attack, and there were many archers on both wings, which was very strange to see the Bretanians.

"Why didn't the artillery attack first, but the line infantry of the musketeers first?"

"I don't know, but they're in our range."

Although it was not known why the enemy did this, the Bretanians directly picked up their rifles and opened fire, and the one-pounder cannon next to them also fired simultaneously.

The sudden ultra-long-range shooting (for the Toei people) took the Iron Artillery by surprise, and after falling more than fifty people in a row, the soldiers who were walking in the front fled back.

As for the archers on both flanks, they fought hard to open their bows, and the archers came to their aid, but unfortunately to no avail, and many corpses were also left behind after a flurry of gunfire.

After seeing the fleeing soldiers and listening to their wails, Oda Nobunaga realized for the first time that the Edo Walls were so difficult.

Of course, it should be those Xiyi who are difficult.

"In that case, let's try to combine the inside and the outside...... Give the order and let the bannermen begin a full-scale siege of the city! ”

"Hey!"
