Chapter 617: The End of the Road

The cannonballs whistled with a sharp whistling sound towards the mountain city. It then struck directly at the arrow directly above the city gate, picking up a cloud of dirt and hitting it directly on the head of a nearby soldier. The soldier screamed and was directly shattered by the cannonball, causing his brains to spill all over the surrounding walls.

"Ahh

The people around were taken aback. Even Ander, who was outside the city, was taken aback. Originally, according to his calculations, the target of this cannon was the city gate, but now the shell was fired high, directly hitting the crowd in the city.

And the impact of this cannon was much greater than that of the city gates. I saw a great commotion suddenly resounding on the mountainside city. Some even rushed with their heads in their arms and let out a cry of fear. The power of this cannon was too great, not only the enemy in the mountain city, but even the troops on the side of the Luo family who had never seen a large barrel launch turned pale with fright. If they hadn't been asked to plug their ears before, their performance would have been even worse at this point.

"Ready!"

"Ignition!"

After a short pause, Ander immediately gave the order to shoot again. Seeing the performance of the enemy troops in the city, Andel naturally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

With another "thump", a cannonball with smoke was fired into the air.

This second shell hit the curved wheel on the outer pill, only to hear a loud "bang", and then the sawdust and lime flew on the top of the city, and the billowing smoke and dust obscured the bullet point. The solid iron cannonball smashed the stone wall into a large crater, and the stone wall immediately cracked, shooting out terrible pieces of rubble in all directions. The Ouchi family ashigaru near the crater let out a terrible scream. Apparently smashed.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall really panicked. After all, no one wants to be hit by these terrifying iron eggs. Look at the ashigaru who was hit in the head by a flying iron egg. At this time, his head was still dwelling with yellow-white slurry. So everyone began to rush to the city in unison. At this time, Sugi Xingyun and the others had already taken the lead in escaping into the gate of Nimaru, and then closed the gate of Nimaru. As for the safety of the soldiers located in Waimaru, they no longer care.

At this time, Shanxing Xingyun was trembling all over, cowering behind the city gate, and the famous knife that he had always cherished was left far aside by him at this moment. The others were not much better than Sugi Xingyun, and at this time they had no samurai demeanor, and their faces were covered with dust. They all shivered.

"What kind of monster weapon is this! Can this city resist such a weapon? Everyone thought to themselves.

The questions in everyone's hearts were quickly answered, only to hear someone suddenly shout from the outer pill: "The city gate is broken, the city gate is broken!" ”

It turned out that after shooting two cannons, Ander immediately adjusted the angle of the barrel and changed the target to the wooden city gate. It's not that he doesn't want to hit a few more cannonballs, but at this time, the Luo family has not yet mastered the manufacturing skills of cannonballs, and these cannonballs were all bought from Zhu Yinfeng, so when the cannonballs are limited, he has to save them.

And the wooden gate, which is the weakest in strength, is naturally the target of his next attack. (Actually.) At this time, the technique of iron city gate had not yet been popularized in the Warring States, and even the technique of building a castle had not yet been popularized. Most of the walled cities have only one pill. If it weren't for the fact that Yamaya Castle would have been the reason why the Otomo family faced the Ouchi family's bridgehead. Yamaga Castle will not be transformed into a castle of Nimaru. )

"Surrender, we were abandoned by the lords in the city, we surrender."

Seeing that the city gate had been broken (and in fact only a hole had been broken), a guard shouted. After this soldier shouted, everyone found that the samurai lord and the lords who had been staying at the head of the city were missing, and the gate of Nimaru was completely closed at this time. Looking up at the guards on the Nimaru City Wall, those soldiers who were standing on the Nimaru City Wall at this time lowered their heads in shame and did not dare to make eye contact with them, obviously they were ashamed of what the lord had done at this time. At this time, the soldiers of Waimaru finally understood that they had really been abandoned.

"Surrender! We surrender! ”

So before Yoshida Shigemasa, who had already prepared for the siege, ordered the siege, the soldiers of the Ouchi family of Waimaru dropped their weapons one after another, and then opened the city gate and walked out cautiously.

"Damn, hurry up and get another earthen platform in front." Seeing that the enemy army had surrendered, Ander ordered the battery to be moved forward and prepared to launch an attack on the Nimaru Castle Gate.

At this time, Sugi Xingyun and the others had already returned to the council hall in the city. Because his spirit was still in a trance along the way, even Tachibana Jianguang, Ohashi Toyogomori and Kitahara Zhenjiu kept passing glances to each other, and they didn't even notice it when they left quietly.

On the way back to the council hall, a relative samurai came to report the surrender of the Washimaru defenders, but Sugi Xingyun and Chikushi Yuimon were in no mood to listen. What is now in front of them is the choice of whether to carry it to the end or surrender in Kaesong.

When they returned to the council hall, the two sat across from each other, but neither spoke.

Time passed in a hurry, and soon after, the relatives samurai came again to report, and it turned out that the Luo family had begun to attack the walls of Nimaru. Those Waimaru soldiers who had just surrendered actually directly joined the Luo family and participated in the siege of the city, which made the number of Luo family's troops increase a lot at once. The morale of the defenders was also greatly damaged. Some of the samurai who defended the city had already asked several of the guards to go to the city walls to boost their morale.

Sugi Xingyun did not reply to the samurai's request, and there was still silence in the council hall at this time. In silence, Sugi Xingyun and the others had already heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing outside the city, and occasionally the whistling of cannonballs from the monster-like weapons and the panicked cries of the soldiers defending the city.

"My lord, it's not good, the three adults Tachibana, Ohashi, and Kitahara gave up defending the city, gathered their soldiers, and went directly to the city gate." Soon after, a wounded relative samurai with an arrow stuck in his back rushed in in a panic to report. It was clear that Tachibana, Ohashi, and Kitahara were preparing to go to Kaesong and surrender.

"Zhilu Dao, you go down." After hearing the report, Shanxing Yun, who was still trembling all over, miraculously calmed down. Yes, with the surrender of the three of Tachibana Jianguang, there is no need for Sugi Xingyun to choose.

He had no choice but to continue to fight to the death. Because even if he chooses to surrender at this time, it is already meaningless because he is one step slower than the three of Tachibana Jianguang, and even if he surrenders, it will be regarded as following the trend and being forced to surrender. Based on what they had done to the Luo family in the past, he boasted that he would not let them go even if the Luo family's political integrity was great. What's more, Luo Zhengliang has always been ruthless and famous for his enemies.

The situation of Chikushi Weimon is similar to that of Sugi Xingyun. And he must choose to die at this time, only in this way can he alleviate the anger of the Luo clan Zhengliang, so as to ensure that the bloodline of the Tsukushi family can continue. So he didn't care about the actions of Shanxingyun on the side, and directly ordered the relatives warriors outside the house to bring pen and ink and white paper. Then he waved his pen and began to write. (To be continued......)
