Chapter 96: The Battle of Osaka Summer (14)
(Normal Version)
"Batu...... They are the scourge of the East, and the barbaric steppe empire that has risen suddenly in the last ten years or so was established by them, and these excellent soldiers who are most capable of fighting hard battles are especially resistant to hunger and thirst, cold and hardship, and are not afraid of casualties, otherwise it would be impossible to cross to the north and expedition against the Rus' tribes in the ice and snow; Go west deep into the snowy plateau and fight Lamaist believers in the highest area of the world; And in one fell swoop, he crushed the seemingly impregnable defense line of the Great Wall, and wreaked havoc in the hinterland of the Central Plains, beating the millions of troops of the Song people to the ground......"
"Very well said, there is no point in being alone, Your Highness Nobunaga. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
Landing in Osaka with the Marines, searching around for any surviving poor worms, and listening to Nobunaga tell you about the great exploits of the Batu people.
Nobunaga dropped the body of Batu, who was only half of his body left, and sighed and continued to follow Lorraine's team.
After a day of relentless shelling, Osaka Castle was reduced to ruins, littered with the bleak color of corpses and wreckage, which of course also meant that no enemy was encountered.
"Where the hell did the Tokugawa army go, I remember that the 152 enchanted artillery was not so powerful, and it was impossible for only three battleships to blow everyone up, right?"
"Maybe they received the information and ran away?"
"Maybe it's for some other reason...... Forming an armed reconnaissance team, we need first-hand information, I don't believe that Osaka was bombed into a dead city! ”
"Yes!"
According to the order of the admiral, the Eastern Army of Brittanya, with a total number of about 300 people, launched a search, and along the way saw not only corpses but also corpses, and of course many people found traces of living people.
Many of the Batu and Tokugawa survivors survived their work, but after a hellish night, most of them had a nervous breakdown, and any living person would only roar and rush to fight.
It's like a patient with rabies or a zombie in a movie.
These bastards are indeed very brave, and the insanity means that there is no so-called fear, and they can continue to attack without fear of casualties, which does cause some losses to the reconnaissance company
There was a momentum that looked at death as home, but it could not shake the enemy's overall superiority - the Marines did not lose their hands and feet from the panic of the attack, and they skillfully formed a tight encirclement, constantly reaping the lives of their opponents with platoons of guns, bayonets and grenades.
The highly effective weapons of murder brought by the Industrial Revolution were not something that flesh and blood could fight, and under such a desperate blow, the original rabble of the Tokugawa army finally began to crumble.
In the midst of the billowing black smoke, some people were beaten into hornet's nests by rifles, some fell after being shot and then chopped into meat sauce by the Marines, and some people burned all over their bodies and danced a death dance in the fire, and finally turned into a mass of charcoal......
A foul smell of burning corpses permeated the small battlefield, and the terrifying screams came and went.
Skirmishes gradually expanded, and in order to ensure that the losses of the Eastern Army would not be too heavy, Lorraine asked Nobunaga's troops to join the battle.
Although I want to complain, Osaka is Nobunaga's territory after all, and it is necessary to send troops to rescue - not to mention that a floating gunboat was specially transferred to temporarily serve as a transport ship to help.
As a result, more soldiers joined the operation to clear the enemy forces in Osaka Castle, and a large number of seriously wounded Tokugawa troops were driven out, and in the face of the pursuit of the Eastern Army and the Oda Army, they could only drag the mutilated flesh that had been broken and crawled slowly and painfully.
In the hallucination of near death, he stubbornly pursued the door of survival, and his internal organs and intestines were dragged to the ground mixed with dirt...... The sight was truly horrific.
However, it was not easy to suppress the enemy's counterattack, and after paying a very high price, the once troubled clearing force finally took control of Osaka Castle.
The battle went on round after round, slaughtering without the slightest mercy - as the Tokugawa army had done the night before, without the slightest change.
Fukuseiji Temple was originally a temple in Osaka where incense was flourishing, and it was famous for the fact that Osaka people often came here to pray for good fortune and were very effective.
The magnificent Buddha Hall, now dazzling and extraordinarily gorgeous, had been stained red with blood, and then scorched black by fire and smoke.
Among the corpses everywhere, a middle-aged man in ragged clothes stood like a rock, supporting his tired body with his famous knife, which had been through countless duels.
The continuous high-intensity fighting, as well as the harsh test of the smoke and fire, had made him unkempt, and the restrained and defensive armor had long since turned into pieces.
Soaked in blood, a small part of it was his own, but many more came from the enemy—the corpses of no less than twenty soldiers of the Eastern Army and the Oda family were scattered around him, including a lieutenant officer.
In the distance, you can see the battle dead all over Fukuseji Temple, where the Tokugawa army, which is far less than the enemy, has killed at least three times as many enemy troops as itself, and of course the consequence is that the entire army will be wiped out.
It is definitely a matter of pride to have such a record, but it is a pity that Yagyu Shibei is full of remorse in his heart, and he should withdraw his troops when he receives the news of the arrival of the enemy's floating battleship.
However, the bastard Hayan Bhutan refused his orders, and under the leadership of this fierce general, half of the troops did not leave Osaka Castle in time, and finally turned to ashes under the devastation of artillery.
And he lost so many people's lives, what face do he have to see the lord?
The lantern that was originally enshrined in front of the Buddha statue had all been extinguished at this moment, and the spacious hall was dim, so that the face of the sword saint was always in shadow, and his expression could not be seen at all, only the sound of rapid breathing could be heard, and the huge roar of the temple collapsing in the fire in the distance.
After a short time, forty or fifty Shogunate New Army and Eastern Army marines surrounded and blocked the door of the main hall of Fuxingji Temple, looking at the legendary Yanagi Shibei Sword Saint in disbelief, but no one had the courage to rush forward.
The miserable corpses on the ground have long warned these cowards that rashly attacking a sword master will definitely pay a heavy price, and the fate of the forerunner is obvious enough, so let's wait and talk.
The confrontation did not last long, and finally an officer arrived at the scene and couldn't bear to start, "listen to my orders, raise your gun and aim, and prepare to ......"
Yagyu Shibei's eyes lit up, and he began to maneuver and dodge the moment the enemy raised his gun, dodging like a gravity-defying monkey, swinging his sword at the enemy soldier in front of him, and with the other hand, he could take out his dagger and throw it to kill the officer in an instant.
The famous knife cut the opponent in half from the waist in the blink of an eye, killing an enemy is very simple, but the waist slash is a great burden on weapons and physical strength, seeing the Juggernaut stiffened, several soldiers seemed to see an opportunity, took out their bayonets and rushed up to stab the other party to death.
Then the internal organs were ruptured by a series of empty-handed techniques, and the poor insects were directly crippled, and no one could save these fools in a short time.
With so many soldiers slaughtered in the blink of an eye, the other cowards could only flee with a scream, and for the time being, they could only withdraw from Fuxing Temple and wait for the support of follow-up personnel.
