The Ohashi Bungo Mamoru who was standing near Sugi Xingyun also showed disdainful expressions when they heard this.

It's just that this "disdain" is not aimed at the Luo family's military outside the city, but at Shanxingyun.

Since three years ago in the First Battle of Hizen, due to the incompetence of Sugi Xingyun, the Ouchi family coalition army was defeated by the invading Otomo family coalition army, and the last thing even allowed the Luo family to take the opportunity to rise from Hizen, the prestige of Sugi Xingyun, as the guardian of Chikuzen Province, has been destroyed. Even after the hard work of Shanxingyun in the past few years, it has not been much better. If it weren't for Naito Xingsheng's personal instigation this time, the powerful families of Chikuzen Province would not have made the trip to the Luo family this time.

Among these people, the most disappointed in Sugi Xingyun was naturally Ohashi Toyogo Mori, who had experienced the battle of the night three days earlier. In his opinion, if this guy hadn't escaped from the battle that night, the camp of the Ouchi family's coalition army would not have been defeated so quickly, let alone cause the chaos that would have occurred later. As soon as he remembered that night when the samurai of his clan were trampled to death in order to help him escape from the chaos, he longed to cut down the city wall with a single sword.

And yesterday's battle, if it weren't for the fact that Sugi Xingyun saw that the main force of the Luo family's army was on the south bank of the Chikugo River (at this time, he didn't know that the Luo family's army had already begun a large-scale counterattack in three ways, and he didn't know that the territory of the Qiuyue family on his flank was already in dire straits), and he was ready to take the opportunity to attack the Luo family's Shengwei City on a whim, so as to reverse the situation of that night's fiasco. As a result, it was beaten to pieces by the Luo family's iron artillery team defending the city. In the end, he fled back to the mountain city like a lost dog. And now they are taking advantage of the victory to pursue. Killed directly to the city.

Just when Shanxing Xingyun and others were thinking differently in the city. The Luo family's army outside the city has made a new move.

I saw a tall figure. The strange-looking guy pointed his finger at a dirt slope not far from the city. The distance between this place and the gate of the castle was actually less than 100 meters, and even a better bow and arrow could be shot here.

Some of the soldiers who were apparently the stranger's men began to build a mound on the dirt slope.

With such a close distance, in fact, the mountain city could open the city gate immediately, and then come out to drive away these Luo family troops. However, neither Sugi Xingyun nor Tsukushi Weimen did anything at this time. Because they recognized the tall strange man at this time.

These are the people who are called "ghost people". It's not the first time they've seen these "ghosts". The most recent was last year. A huge warship once docked at Hakata Port in Chikuzen Province and Moji Port in Toshimae Province. Sugi Koyo and Tsukushi Yuimon had the good fortune to see these "oni people" who had disembarked from the ship, and they even spent a lot of money to buy several things called "muskets" from these "onimen".

They had tried these "muskets" before, and they seemed to be as powerful as the iron cannons of the Luo family. They had also planned to build an iron cannon team like the Luo family, but these weapons were too expensive. Moreover, these "ghost people" (in fact, they are Zhu Yinfeng and others who are traveling around the coast of the Wa Kingdom) are also unwilling to sell too many quantities, so in the end they can only buy a few to get over their addiction.

Now he suddenly saw a "ghost man" haunting the city, which suddenly shocked Shanxingyun and others. I couldn't help but think in my heart: When did these "ghost people" be willing to work for the Luo family?

Just when everyone in the city was shocked, the dirt slope outside the city had been completely transformed by the Andres. This is a temporary battery for large barrels. And the iron cannon team, which is the strength of the guard, has also set up a bunker nearby at this time. As long as the Otomo army in the city dares to run out, they will have the confidence to fight them back.

Shanxingyun on the city wall also quickly realized that something was wrong, but as soon as he saw the Luo family's iron cannon team that had brought him nightmarish dreams, he swallowed the order to leave the city that was about to exit back into his stomach. It seemed to him that even if he had forced his troops, the soldiers would have only stagnated at the city gates. After all, the nightmare that those iron cannons brought to him also brought the same nightmare to these soldiers who had experienced yesterday's battle. If it is forcibly ordered. If you don't do it, it will lead to a riot by the soldiers. Of course, he was also a little suspicious at this time that this was the Luo family's trick to lure the enemy. Just when he was undecided. There was a new move outside the city.

"Give me a cannon!" Seeing that everything was ready, and the enemy troops in the city were really shrinking in the city as Yoshida Shigemasa said, and did not dare to come out, Ander naturally hurriedly continued to order.

With Ander's order, a group of soldiers with thick waists and thighs slowly began to move towards the remodeled fort while "hehe, hehe". They were struggling to carry something extremely heavy in their hands.

As these ashigaru approached, a long cylindrical weapon that seemed to be made of copper all over the body revealed the true face of Lushan. This is the only one that the Roche family has successfully built so far.

Due to the reasons of technology, talents, and raw materials, with the current strength of the Luo family, it is already the top of the sky to be able to forge three large cylinders in a year. The two large cylinders that had been forged well were fried during the inspection. And the current big tube is the third one that has personally undergone the test of Zhengliang.

After the big tube was placed, Andel gestured to his thumb again, opened and closed his eyes, and looked left and right at the mountain castle for a while, and then asked the ashigaru to adjust the angle of the big tube again, and only nodded with satisfaction after the last word.

Ander is calculating the distance according to the target of the attack, so as to adjust the height of the muzzle, as well as correcting the bearing, calculating the radian, and the trajectory of the shell route. Since there were no cranks, screws, no gun carriages for field guns, Indel could only come by his own experience.

When the Ouchi army in the city saw that the "ghost man" outside the city suddenly moved a strange thing, they immediately looked at it curiously. Even Shan, who is the main general, is no exception. He really couldn't think of what these Luo family troops who suddenly killed were doing there, if he thought that he could lure them out of the city, it would only show that the Luo family master outside the city would be too naïve.

"Fill the shell!"

"Done!"

Seeing that everything was ready, Ander slowly pulled out the sword on his waist and said loudly: "Ready!" ”

Ashigaru next to the large tube immediately raised the torch in his hand.

"Ignition!"

The arquebuses sparkled and grew shorter and shorter.

Everyone on the Luo family's side held their breath, and the Luo family's iron artillery team, which had already had experience in firing, immediately filled their ears with grass roots. And Yoshida Shigemasa and others, who had already been reminded by Ander, also ordered the soldiers under their command to quickly plug their ears.

"Boom!"

The roar of the big tube suddenly sounded. The hot iron egg spiraled like a bow and arrow to the mountain city. In this battle, the first large cylinder of the Japanese Kingdom finally saw the world on the battlefield. What about power? (To be continued......)
