"Of course!"

Yuji Riverbe nodded as he faced the crowd with sparkling eyes.

Everyone was very strange about where Yuji Kawabe got this self-confidence, thinking that he could defeat the crusading army with 36 cannons.

That's just a joke, isn't it?

It can be said that except for Zhao Hongyu, no one believes Yuji Kawabe's words at all.

In fact, it is not surprising at all, after all, artillery is still very unpopular on the side of the Japanese country, if it weren't for those Europeans who came to the Japanese country to do business, then these Japanese people would not even know what artillery is.

It can be said that the Japanese people of this era are extremely dicked.

The Japanese people are in this era, but they are different from the Chinese Ming Dynasty.

No matter what people say in the Ming Dynasty, there is such a thing as 'fire dragon cannon'.

And after coming into contact with the Europeans, the Ming Dynasty also began to equip artillery.

At this point, there is no way to compare the Japanese with the Ming Dynasty.

It's a matter of conceptual disparity.

"Don't think I'm talking nonsense, if we want to defeat those crusaders this time, we really have to rely on these artillery." , Yuji Kawabe's expression became very serious.

Later, Yuji Kawabe told how to use artillery.

When Zhao Hongyu heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly disappointed in his heart.

It seems that because of the gap between the times, Yuji Kawabe is still very different from what Zhao Hongyu considered in terms of concept.

However, Zhao Hongyu also knew that it was already very good that Yuji Riverside could think of such a situation.

At least, from Yuji Riverside, Zhao Hongyu saw something beyond this era.

This is very rare.

According to Yuji Kawabe's idea, he planned to place the artillery around the four in a circle.

Wait until the crusaders arrive. These artillery pieces around them will bombard together, and they will definitely be able to defeat the crusading army.

Regarding Yuji Riverbe's whimsical proposal, everyone except Zhao Hongyu was dumbfounded.

In fact, even Zhao Hongyu was surprised for a moment, and then he became crying and laughing.

Because Yuji Kawabe's proposal is simply a very fucked up thing.

If you really do what he suggests, let alone fighting, it's two things to say whether the artillery can be kept or not.

However, Yuji Kawabe himself is very confident in this proposal.

For this reason, Yuji Kawabe turned around. Seeing this, Zhao Hongyu began to ask seriously and seriously.

Zhao Hongyu waved his hand, disappointing Yuji Kawabe for a while.

However, Zhao Hongyu did not disappoint Yuji Kawabe for too long, he spoke: "Your proposal is very good, but the way to use artillery is wrong, this will not give full play to the power of artillery at all, but will turn artillery into a pile of garbage." ”

Zhao Hongyu had to name the reason for the pain in the method proposed by Yuji Riverbe.

Hearing Zhao Hongyu say this, Yuji Riverbe suddenly looked at him with a curious look.

Zhao Hongyu understands. Yuji Kawabe is waiting for himself to give him an explanation.

And everyone else also looked at Zhao Hongyu, wanting to hear what Zhao Hongyu had to say.

Under everyone's expectations, Zhao Hongyu explained how he would use artillery, and when the crusading army arrived here. How he would use artillery to defeat the opponent's tactics was told to everyone.

Compared with Yuji River's method, Zhao Hongyu's method is very easy for everyone to understand.

In fact, if you want to talk about Zhao Hongyu's method, there is not much technical content.

It's nothing more than concentrated fire.

But. Considering that there was no precedent for the use of artillery in land warfare here in the Wa Kingdom, Zhao Hongyu felt that he could completely defeat the crusading army with artillery.

Hundreds of 'lined up to shoot' soldiers. Coupled with thirty-six artillery pieces, it is definitely not a small force.

This is also the reason why Zhao Hongyu has such strong self-confidence, thinking that he can defeat those crusading armies, and he is not worried about himself at all.

"Your Highness, is this artillery really so powerful?"

Tokugawa Kayo asked weakly at this time.

After she finished asking the question, she quickly lowered her head.

It seems that the little girl asked this question, but she mustered up a lot of courage.

Isn't it, as soon as she asked the question, she had already exhausted her courage and began to pretend to be an ostrich.

Zhao Hongyu just smiled faintly when he saw Tokugawa Kayo's cute reaction.

"I don't know all of you here, any of you have seen artillery fire."

As soon as Zhao Hongyu's voice landed, everyone started talking in a hurry.

"I've seen that the destruction of Osaka Castle some time ago was due to shelling, right?"

"yes, yes, I also want to say that I have seen the shelling of Osaka Castle."

Belch!

After Zhao Hongyu listened to everyone's words, he was obviously stunned.

Okay!

Ahem!

Zhao Hongyu coughed embarrassedly, and let everyone slowly quiet down.

"Except for the sea here, who of you has ever seen artillery used in combat on the road?"

As soon as Zhao Hongyu asked, everyone immediately shook their heads, saying that they had never seen it.

Hattori Chizuru, the tomboy, opened his mouth and said loudly to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, isn't the artillery only available on sea ships?" It's hard to really be able to use it when fighting on the road. ”

Yes, in this era, people's minds are not so open-minded.

And people's awareness is also very insufficient.

Including people like Hattori Chizuru, they are not exempt from vulgarity.

In the eyes of the Japanese people, artillery should be used on sea ships, and it is simply impossible to use it in road combat.

In fact, it is not surprising that the Japanese did not think about such a thing.

Because the artillery of this era is far less sophisticated than it was a hundred years later.

At the same time, artillery, movement of this era is also a big problem.

After all, the weight of a cannon forged with the techniques of this era is not light at all.

Just moving the cannon will take a lot of effort.

And even if the cannon can be moved, the range of the cannon and the trajectory of the shells are all issues that need to be considered.

You can't let the cannon shoot at the air.

Know the way. Artillery was meant to be used to bombard enemy troops.

However, this problem cannot be solved for the Japanese people.

Not to mention the Japanese people, the Europeans also have a lot of problems now.

Therefore, the reason why the Japanese did not use artillery is here.

Is it true that there are no enlightened people in the Wa Kingdom?

That's not the case at all.

You must know that even muskets are used, how can no one pay attention to the artillery.

Europeans come and do business in Japan, and they will reveal more or less about it.

Therefore, of course, people of insight among the Japanese people will also pay attention to the weapon of artillery.

It's just that a lot of flaws in artillery can't be solved. Moreover, in this era, cold weapons are the mainstream. At the same time, after considering the issue of funds, the Japanese people can be regarded as abandoning artillery to become a land weapon.

For these reasons, Zhao Hongyu and others will not know the Tao.

"Of course, artillery can be used in land warfare, after all, artillery is still very powerful in land warfare."

Zhao Hongyu answered Hattori's question with a smile.

However, his answer did not make Hattori Chizuru feel very satisfied.

Chizuru Hattori continued to ask, "Your Highness, that's what you said. But I know how sharp artillery is at sea, but how do you move it on land and adjust its muzzle? ”

Chizuru Hattori is not a girl who doesn't learn anything. Especially as a ninja, her learning is extremely sophisticated.

It can be said that a qualified ninja basically has to know a little bit about everything.

Those elite ninjas. Not only to understand, but also to refine.

As a person who is dedicated to studying the way of ninjas, Chizuru Hattori is such a person.

So, she knows the advantages and disadvantages of the artillery.

But. Her thinking is still not free from the limitations of this era.

Like all normal people, Hattori Chizuru also believes that artillery is a weapon that is basically useless after leaving the battleship. It's going to turn into a pile of iron-cast garbage.

But how can her vision, and everyone's vision, be the same as Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu is not from this era and this time and space, he is from another time and space, and he is very clear about this matter.

"Ha Luha, of course I solved the problem. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that, so don't worry. ”

Zhao Hongyu said to Hattori Chizuru with a smile.

Afterwards, Zhao Hongyu began to explain to everyone how he wanted to use the artillery, and at the same time, the range and power of the artillery were all told to everyone.

Although through the language, Zhao Hongyu reluctantly let everyone have a general pale understanding, but Zhao Hongyu still saw from everyone's faces that they had great doubts and puzzles.

But if you don't understand, you can't understand, and you can't explain it to them all at once.

Only when it is time to fight the Raiders and push out the artillery will they be able to see the power with their own eyes.

Only in this way can we let everyone experience and feel the power of the cannon, so that they can recognize the role of the cannon.

Soon, under the auspices of Zhao Hongyu, everyone made arrangements and arrangements for the upcoming crusading army.

The first proposal to attack Osaka Castle and use Osaka Castle as a base was rejected by everyone.

After the end, everyone decided to follow Zhao Hongyu and fight in the field with those upcoming crusaders.

But before that, Zhao Hongyu specially instructed Hattori to hide them and let them be careful of the attack from the Koga ninja.

God knows if those Koga ninjas would suddenly appear like this before they fought the crusading army.

None of these things can be said for sure.

At the same time, Zhao Hongyu also left the guy Yuji Riverside, ready to teach him.

Because Yuji Kawabe was the only one who thought of using artillery, although his proposal was very painful. (To be continued......)
