The soldiers of the Broken Army began to build the cannon positions one by one, and they methodically put the cannons, projectiles, and medicine bags back into place one by one. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Maeda Fengyi looked at the four large barrels on the head of his own city, and this small cannon with a range of only two miles could not even touch the hair of the broken army.

All the young men in the city stared at the thirty behemoths, most of them didn't know what they were, but they didn't feel like they were good.

Dozens of gunners of the Broken Army were in place one by one to reload their ammunition and began the first round of gun tests.

Boom, boom, thirty cannons each began the first round of test guns.

Bang bang, more than a dozen projectiles hit the city wall, the bricks shattered, and a large puff of smoke and dust rose up.

Maeda's feet trembled, and almost everyone was terrified by the power of these large cylinders.

The smoke cleared, and the gunners of the Broken Army observed and adjusted the angle of their cannons.

Boom, boom, ten cannons fired first, and almost all ten cannons hit the city wall with projectiles.

It was like ten giant hammers hammering a wall, and the whole wall shook.

All the people in the city bowed down, their bodies tense, and they blessed themselves with a projectile that would not fall on their heads.

Boom, boom, ten cannons roared, two of the projectiles crossed the city, and one happened to drill into the crowd of people at the head of the city, the iron shield wooden shield of the ashigaru and the young man holding the protective bullet flew away like a toy, and more than a dozen ashigaru young and strong bodies flew gracefully in the air, swirling and falling down the city, of course, the shouts and howls of the city head were not so beautiful, it was simply stimulating people's heart, lungs and eardrums.

"If you follow your lordship, you have to let most of the people go down to the city to hide." In the roar of the third batch of artillery. Maeda Fengyi shouted in Yasuda's ear.

"Good, good. You are here to watch. The official led people down to the city. Yasuda Xiong, who was trembling all over, completely disregarded his face at this time, and at this time, he didn't have this excuse to flee quickly, let alone when.

As a result, in the eyes of Maeda Fengyi, Yasuda Xiong rolled down the city.

When the large crowd retreated, a projectile roared past the city again, bringing more than a dozen ashigaru young people to the city quickly, and they crowded down the stairway.

This time, only more than 100 people were left in the city to monitor the movements of the broken army, and the other 1,000 people retreated to the city to hide.

The artillery of the Broken Army still bombarded Sado Castle unhurriedly. Basically, after half an hour of bombardment, heat dissipation will be dissipated for half an hour, and then stubble bombardment.

The people in the city got used to it after several shellings, numbly listening to the roar of the cannons outside the city and the roar of the projectiles that broke into the city, except for a few unlucky people, there were no major casualties.

It is said that it is not bad to go on like this, but Sado Castle can't bear it, and a day later, almost all the bricks in the West City have been shattered, and the rammed earth city wall inside has begun to show large cracks.

Good at this time. It was already evening, and the Ming people had withdrawn their troops.

The young men who breathed a sigh of relief raised the lights at night and fought at night to consolidate the city wall. It can be said that there was no rest all night, and several large cracks were repaired.

But the next day, after the first round of artillery bombardment by the Breakers, the cracks in the city began to widen again, and all the efforts of the previous night were in vain.

When the night came, the first section of the twenty-pace-long wall of the West City began to loosen, and there were no more people on it.

It was not easy to renovate this section of the city wall after watering and tamping it at night, and after several rounds of bombardment the next day, this section of the city wall was already crumbling.

Maeda knew that the final moment had come, and whether Sado Castle could be kept depends on whether the street battle after the city was broken could kill and wound a large number of enemy troops.

He immediately ordered Ashigaru to line up behind the West Castle to get ready, and the young men were all lined up behind Ashigaru with weapons in hand.

When the cannon of the Broken Army fired two volleys, this section of the city wall finally could not withstand the impact, and collapsed violently, raising dust more than ten zhang high, and for a time there was no visible object in a radius of one mile around.

All the ashigaru was prepared under the command of Maeda Fengyi, prepared, and then, there was no more.

Then it was the roar of the cannons, and the Ming army bombarded one after another, which puzzled Maeda Fengyi.

Li Lu was not in a hurry at all, at this time, there must have been Japanese people running to report the news on fishing boats, as long as the news spreads, everything will be fine when they finally arrive in Edo, and Sado Castle will be captured sooner or later, and he will not let his soldiers have big casualties in order to quickly take Sado Castle.

Thirty cannons continued to hammer the crumbling West Castle one after another, and that night, most of the West City Wall collapsed, and now Sado Castle was very open in front of the Broken Army.

Maeda Fengyi, who couldn't bear it at night, led 500 ashigaru to make a night attack, but unfortunately he was repelled by the fire as soon as he arrived at the moat, leaving behind more than 100 corpses and retreating into the city.

On the fifth day, in the face of the disemboweling Sado Castle, the Breaker Army changed their strategy, they first burned the projectile red, and then launched it, the projectile rushed directly into the Sado Castle, and immediately ignited when it encountered the wooden Japanese houses, so that the entire Sado was full of fire, and the people in the city were exhausted.

At this time, the Akito's intentions were revealed, and they wanted to burn Sado Castle.

Maeda Fengyi and Yasuda Yu, after consulting with Yasuda, decided to go out of the city for a decisive battle, and at the end of the day, more than 100 young men were killed and wounded, either by projectiles, or burned by flames, and in a few days if this continued, the city would surely collapse.

In order to avoid the artillery of the broken army, Maeda Fengyi led 1,500 ashigaru and 5,000 young men from the south gate to pour out.

The team in front is quite neat, hundreds of iron cannons are light, spears are light, swords and shields are light, and the young people in the back are following with a whin, fortunately, most of them are powerful, holding guns, knives, axes, hammers, sticks and other miscellaneous weapons, in short, these weapons are only you can't think of.

Li Lu couldn't ask for the decisive battle of the Japanese people out of the city, and all the bombardment of Sado City was to force the Japanese people to go out of the city to fight.

In the words of Lord Zhao, if the infantry battle and field battle of the captives can be regarded as invincible, Li Lu thought so, he did not want to fall into the trap of street battles in the city, so that the advantage of the large number of Japanese people would be reflected, and even if the captives were victorious, they would be a miserable victory.

The Broken Army left 500 soldiers to guard the artillery, and the remaining 1,500 Ming troops and 500 Korean troops lined up in a neat formation to meet the Japanese brigade.

The military formations of the two sides continued to approach, and the number of the broken troops was small, but the sound of the roaring and neat footsteps was like a lulla that upset the Japanese ashigaru, and everyone knew that such soldiers were not easy to deal with.

Maeda Fengyi saw that when the two sides received two hundred steps, the battle formation of the Ming army was still not chaotic, and it was still moving forward with the same roar, and the entire large array moved forward with the footsteps.

Maeda Fengyi's heart sank, it was not easy to deal with, if it was just neatly said, but immediately took over the formation, the formation was still not moving, he had never seen such a soldier, he must be an elite.

"Three-stage strike, three-stage strike." He shouted loudly to remind the iron cannon in front of the formation.

He thought that there were too many iron gunners in front of the Ming army, as if there were three lanes and four rows, which was a weakness, and if the iron gunners could not withstand the collapse, then they would disrupt the Ming army's formation.

When they approached one hundred and fifty paces, the Breaker Army came to a halt, and at the command of the general, the Musketeers began to reload the Musketers, who moved neatly and methodically, paying no attention to the Japanese army formation that continued to advance.

The Japanese gunners were busy filling the iron cannons as they went, and finally lit the fire ropes.

When the two sides approached more than 80 paces, the musketeers of the Breaker Army suddenly opened fire, and the sound of thumping accompanied by rising fireworks enveloped the Ming army's military formation.

Finally revealed the flaw, Maeda Fengyi hooked the corner of his mouth, so far away has not reached the range of the iron cannon, firing like this is a waste of opportunity, in the end, it is unbearable, it seems that most of them are also the same, when they find that the other party is not injured, they will be even more panicked, but in this way, they were almost deceived.

A hissing sound was heard, and the projectiles had already broken through the bamboo armor of the iron cannon, knocking them to the ground, and the cry immediately resounded in the Japanese army.

Maeda Fengyi raised his heart suddenly, no, isn't the range of the iron cannon fifty or sixty steps.

The best Portuguese cannon is only sixty or seventy steps, which, this is more than eighty steps.

Without waiting for him to figure it out, the Ming gunners in the second row fired and almost swept away more than 100 iron gunners in front of the Japanese formation.

The Ming army's military formation rushed forward intact, while the front of its own military formation was completely cut off with a layer, and it couldn't go on like this.

Maeda Fengyi shouted for Ashigaru to charge into battle, and at the same time ordered the young men behind him to follow, and there were hundreds of people in the young men behind who were the private soldiers of the gold mining samurai, and they were also quite powerful and could not be underestimated.

The Ming people's firearms were like a continuous process, and there were four rows of volleys in a row, knocking hundreds of Japanese spears to the ground and howling and struggling.

The Japanese left too much blood and died too many people along the way, and the young men in the back were a little devastated when they saw the tragic situation in front of them, but thanks to the samurai and private overseers in the middle, they did not escape.

Finally, the iron spearmen on both sides came into contact, and the sound of various weapons continued, and as a result, the pikemen in front of the Japanese people sadly found that their spears were shorter than the spears of the Ming people, which was impossible, and most of them were one meter six tall Japanese spears that were too long for them to wield.

It was this fatal cut that caused them heavy losses, and the spears of the Akito were wantonly assassinated, and the pikemen of the Japanese people could only stab the Akito spearmen when they were desperate, but the pride of being the flag of the shogunate made them choose to persevere,

For a time, the cries of the dead and wounded were constantly heard on the front lines of both sides, of course, most of them were bird language.

After holding each other for a while, the pikemen of the Japanese people began to hold on, after all, most of the people who fell to the ground and fought for their lives, and the Ming army suffered very little damage, so no one could stand it.

At this time, the young men in the back also approached the line, and the Japanese people were in good spirits, and at this moment, the deafening cannon sounded.

A large pile of scattered bombs rushed into the back of the young man with a whistling sound, it was simply a bloody rain, and immediately tore many young men in the back formation, and the flesh and blood stumps were splashed, I don't know how many people were there to make a miserable howl that was not like a human voice, it was like hell.

Maeda Bongyoshi looked at the situation in the back in amazement. (To be continued.) )
