The Matsunaga family, which was stationed in front of the main entrance, was well guarded, with only less than ten people. After all, their duty is not to garrison, but to control the opening of the iron entrance.

"Squeak...... Squeak......"

When the large iron gate of the Sannomaru entrance was opened by twenty Oda ghost soldiers, the Oda army lurking outside the gate rushed into Nobukiyama Castle in a swarm under the leadership of the violent overage pseudo-Lori Oda Nobuko.

At this time, the high platform group on the left side of the Sannomaru narrow road had already been completely cleared by Wang Tianxi, and as for the high platform group on the right, only the bottom layer of the garrison was left, and it was handing over with Wang Tianxie and hundreds of Oda ghost troops.

Therefore, when Nobuko Oda rushed into the Sannomaru narrow road first, the high platforms on both sides of the narrow road fell silent, and the condescending rain of arrows that had caused a headache for the Oda family before would never come down again.

Oda Nobuko did not greet Wang Tianxi, who was slashing people on the high platform, and waved the big sword in her hand to cross the five choshi of Sannomaru and rushed towards Matsunagayashiki at the Ninomaru Grand Entrance.

Matsunaga Yashiki is a large group of imperial houses located in the central part of Shinkiyama Ninomaru, and next to Matsunaga Yashiki is the Tachiriden Yashiki.

Matsunaga Yashiki was used by Matsunaga Shu as a defensive base for the second line of defense of Shinguiyama Castle, and he deployed nearly 90% of the iron artillery in his hands.

This number is not the number guessed by Wang Tianxie and Oda Nobuko, but the fact described by Mori Yoshihisa.

Having said that, for the 900 iron cannons arranged in Matsunaga Yashiki, Oda Nobuko and Wang Tianxi, who have been playing with iron cannons since they were eleven years old, are not too worried.

The two people who liked to "fight" cannons since they were young naturally knew the power of iron cannons very well, and they also had a detailed understanding of the iron cannons in the troubled times of the Warring States Period.

The iron cannon in Matsunaga Hide's hand, most of which came from Sakai Port, was at least two grades weaker than the latest iron cannon of the Oda family.

At the very least, the iron cannon in Matsunaga's hand did not have a crosshair. There is no rifling and a special "nest head" shaped new lead shot. In terms of range, accuracy, and rate of fire, it is more than twice as weak as the latest iron cannon of the Oda family.

And the most important thing is...... Quantity!

Although the Oda family's iron cannon was purchased from Portugal and Spain through the iceberg big cat sister Li Huamei, it is a second-hand product like Matsunaga Shu. However, the problem was that the iron cannon purchased by the Oda family was a rifled arquebus that was regarded as a "chicken rib" by Spain, Portugal and other Western countries during the Age of Discovery.

In the mid-sixteenth century, the Western powers of the Age of Discovery, there was no match for rifled iron cannons. Edierne. Minne's invention of the cylindrical shell lead bullet. It was a product of the eighteenth century.

Therefore, at this time, rifled arquebuses were only used as a tool for recreational activities such as bird hunting and animal hunting in Western countries, rather than a sharp weapon for attacking cities and plundering land on the battlefield.

Don't underestimate the difference between tools and sharp tools, not only the price is very different between the two, but also the quantity sold.

Of course, Li Huamei will not tell the Spanish royal family that her friends have long studied the characteristic lead shot suitable for rifled arquebuses, which solves the shortcomings of rifled arquebuses that are difficult to fill lead shots and have a very poor rate of fire.

According to Li Huamei. The Spanish royal family wished that she should buy as many rifled arquebuses as they could only use for hunting, so that they could use the money they earned to make Mushquets.

After all, "Mushkert" is a rifled front-loading arquebus independently developed by Spain, and it is also the standard weapon of the Spanish army, similar to the ordinary iron cannon that spread from Portugal to the troubled times of the Warring States.

The location of Matsunaga Yashiki is located on a long platform that covers an area of more than 400 meters.

When Nobuko Oda led the army to a distance of about 400 meters from Matsunaga Yashiki, he immediately raised the large sword in his right hand.

The Oda Oni Army's Iron Artillery Team, which was following behind her, suddenly stopped its pace and divided into four rows of 1,000 people, facing Matsunaga Yashiki, which was 300 meters away.

"Whole army! Quadruple shot! Launch! ”

Oda Nobuko waved the big sword in his hand again. An order to shoot was given to the Oda Oni Army, who had already set up their formation.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The Oda Oni Army, which fired intensively in four echelons, suddenly plunged Matsunaga Yashiki into a dusty situation three hundred meters away.

The garrison artillery team in Matsunaga Yashiki was attacked and naturally wanted to return fire.

It's a pity. This group of Matsunaga Xiu's iron artillery team, after only one round of salvo ninety sad to find, the iron cannon in their hands was completely unable to bring even a trace of damage to the Oda ghost army.

There is no way, the Sakai Ganggang iron cannon in their hands is simply copied from Spain and Portugal.

Therefore. The iron cannons used by this group of garrison iron artillery teams are still ordinary iron cannons with a caliber of about 23 millimeters and about 10 kilograms.

The maximum firing range of this iron cannon is only 250 meters, and the effective range is about 100 meters, using mechanical sights. Two lead shots can be fired per minute.

In comparison, the Oda family's new iron cannon has a range of 500 meters, and the effective range is an astonishing 400 meters.

It is no exaggeration to say that the iron cannon team owned by Matsunaga Shu and the technology tree were completely destroyed by the Oda family in any aspect such as range, penetration, accuracy, and rate of fire.

"Report! Oda-kun has occupied Ninomaru Matsunaga Yashiki and is launching a fierce attack on the Riden Yashiki. ”

Just over half an hour after the first roar of the iron cannon sounded, a herald hurried to his knees in front of Matsunaga to say goodbye.

"Alas...... Got it...... Stand down......"

After listening to the words of the herald Ashigaru, Matsunaga Shu was silent for a while and sighed deeply.

He had surrendered to the Oda family three times, and of course he had heard that the Oda Ghost Army, with Oda Nobuko and Wang Tianxie as the main backbone, had very advanced and excellent iron cannons.

Originally, Matsunaga Xiu didn't really believe in this rumor, but after tonight's battle, he had to admit that he had indeed lost completely.

When the news reached Matsunaga Hide's ears when the news of the Tachirijo Hall, which was one floor higher than Matsunaga Yashiki's high platform, was also broken by the Oda family, Matsunaga Hide, who knew that the general trend was gone, suddenly showed a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Jiutong...... Go and bring my Gu Tian Mingping Spider ......" Matsunaga Xiu, who had a hideous look on his face, shouted viciously to his eldest son.

Matsunaga couldn't guess what his father was going to do......

In his opinion, at the moment when the Oda army was about to be defeated, he should be ordered to bring a big sword and prepare to fight the enemy bravely, why did he suddenly ask him to run and get the famous tea vessel.

Of course, although there were some doubts in his heart, this over-aged Tai Zhengtai still obediently followed his father's instructions, and held the famous tea vessel "Gu Tian Mingping Spider" that the other party regarded as his favorite with both hands.

"Uh-huh...... Nobuko Oda...... Since you asked Matsui Yu to ask me for a flat spider many times, I won't give it to you! You'll regret going in the fire! ”

Matsunaga Shu muttered as he carried the flat spider to a hemp bag that appeared in the main hall at some point, at least one stone of rice.

Then, in the puzzlement on his eldest son's face, Matsunaga Xiu reached into the sack and grabbed a large handful of black-brown powder and put it into the famous tea vessel "Kotenmeihei Spider".

The powder in the sack does not convey the sweet aroma of tea leaves or tea powder, but has an extremely pungent taste.

What made Matsu Yongtong even more puzzled was that his father did not just pour three spoonfuls of powder as usual to wash the tea powder, but one after another until the whole flat spider was filled.

"Jiutong, you are the son of my Matsunaga Xiu, tell me, as a member of my Matsunaga family, are you willing to bow down to a woman's knees?" After Matsunaga Shu filled the flat spider with black-brown powder, he said as he walked to the center of the main hall with the flat spider in his hand.

"Well, my father, as the eldest son of the Matsunaga family, I think I should make a false deal with that woman, and then take the opportunity to seize her power, her wealth, and her fiefdom...... Conquer her in the crotch! Matsunaga didn't even think about it, and immediately burst out of his mouth.

"Haha...... Yes, this is a good boy of my Matsunaga family! After listening to his son's words, Matsunaga was stunned and then laughed.

He laughed maniacally as he placed the flat spider in the center of the hall, sprinkling the remaining black-brown powder from the sack on the large wooden floor until the sack was empty.

"Jiutong, come, sit down." Matsunaga threw the empty sack and beckoned his son to sit down beside him.

"It's a pity! It's a pity that I don't have a permanent show with my pine! Damn the Oda family! Damn woman! Damn the devil! Matsunaga watched his precious son sit down and roared loudly.

"Die! Die to all! A woman of the Oda family! The evil spirits of the Oda family! All of them are buried in this sin city with my Matsu Nagahide! ”

Matsunaga Shu placed the flat spider on his lap as he pulled out a fire fold from his arms.

"Father! This ......"

Seeing Matsunaga Xiu take out the fire fold, Matsunaga who was sitting next to him was suddenly taken aback, his whole body tensed up and down for a moment, his whole body trembled, and his mouth screamed loudly.

As the so-called "ignorant and fearless", how could Matsunaga, the son of the samurai, not know what the black-brown powder was. But it is precisely because I know that I will feel even more horrified when I see my father take out the fire fold.

"Haha...... Jiutong! Are you scared? No! Don't be afraid! This is the best fate for our group of defeated! It is the highest dignity of my martial arts! I won't give that woman Oda Nobuko a chance to whip my body, and let that evil ghost of Oda King Tenzen have a chance to trample my soul! Seeing his precious son's frightened look, Matsunaga suddenly burst out laughing again.

Matsunaga shouted as if he were frantically yelling as he blew on the fire. (To be continued......)
