Chapter 689: Shooting

As soon as I thought of this, Maori Yuan's heart was like grass growing, and all thoughts came out.

After all, for the Mori Yuan, the preservation of the Mori family is the first priority, and everything else is secondary, such as loyalty to the Ouchi clan.

If this point of the Maori clan is consumed here. Regardless of victory or defeat, no matter whether the Ouchi clan can survive the attack of the Yongjun army, the Maori family will probably cease to exist.

How can you rest assured that Maori will be yuan.

A crazy thought came to Maori Yuan's heart, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, forcibly suppressed this thought, and secretly said in his heart: "Now is not the time. ”

"Master." Maori said, "Just ask the master to heal my Maori family." ”

The monk said, "The heart of the healer's parents, the old man just does his best." ”

"Master Xuankong." A voice came, but it was Kurokawa Yoshinori, who came here and said, "Your Highness, please come over." ”

Master Xuankong, that is, the monk, glanced at Maori Yuan.

Maori didn't know what Master Xuankong meant, Master Xuankong was forcibly recruited, with the intention that no one should be offended, but he also knew who was the main master.

Maori said, "Master, please go." ”

Master Xuankong said, "Then the old man will take his leave. ”

When Master Genkong and Kurokawa Yoshitomi left, the retainers of the Mori clan complained one after another, "What do you mean, the people of the Ouchi family are people?" Aren't all my Maori people human? ”

"Alright." Maori was a little more gloomy and said, "Don't say more, I'll take a look." ”

When Mori Yoshiko came to Ouchi Yoshiko, he heard Master Xuankong say what he had just said to the Mori family again, and Ouchi Yoshiko's face was extremely gloomy.

In his mind, the wounded with gunshot wounds were already equated with the dead.

"The master just does his best." Ouchi Yoshiyuki said. "Even if I can't do it, I don't blame it."

After all, there are probably not many people in Nagasaki and even Japan who can treat gunshot wounds. For now, at least, such muskets are still a rarity in Japan, and they are nowhere near as common as they have been for decades.

"Boom." A loud bang rang out, and everyone was terrified.

They had heard it before, and they would never forget it, it was the sound of cannons.

"Newspaper. The Yongjun opened fire. A soldier hurriedly spoke.

"Let's go. Check it out. Ouchi Yoshixing said with a hidden face.

On the artillery position of the Yong army outside the city.

A cannon was pierced by the gunner with a red-hot iron stick, directly inserted into the fire door, and pierced the gunpowder bag, igniting the gunpowder instantly, and the inflated heat hit the shells weighing several pounds far away, and the entire shells were arcing, smashing heavily under the city wall.

The strong recoil pushed the entire gun carriage back heavily, and the fixed iron chains on both sides were instantly straightened, and the huge iron wheels carried the cannon along the recoil and went up the slope behind. When the chains were all straightened, the recoil was canceled out, and the gun carriage came down the slope and landed in its original position.

Sure, it's not that accurate, but it's pretty much the same.

Immediately the gunner stepped forward, fixed the gun position again, and then someone put the muzzle of the gun down, cleaned all the debris inside, and then again prepared to aim according to the gun table. Be prepared for a shot.

The rate of fire is not fast. Every few minutes.

But now is the reason for preparing for commissioning, if they are all ready together, they can do a gun for a minute or two, but the rate of fire is too fast, and the gun can't withstand it for long.

In general, this gun also has a lifespan. Due to the lack of maintenance, the life span is also long and short. However, most of the new guns that Zhu Houhuang uses now are new, and not a single artillery piece has been scrapped.

"Boom." More than a dozen artillery pieces fired one after another, and one minute of shells came out, and these shells shot out one arc after another, which seemed to be very slow, but in fact, they smashed at a very fast speed, but there were few ways to smash in front of the city wall, and most of them were smashed on the city strong, and some shot inside Nagasaki City.

It doesn't hurt much.

But every time a cannonball hit the city wall, the city wall moved.

Every time a cannonball hits the city wall, there will be a large area of soft soil on the wall, and then a large area will fall down.

Ouchi Yoshiyuki looked at the wall.

The walls of Nagasaki Castle were actually built very carelessly, and they couldn't be compared to Yamaguchi Castle, the old nest of the Ouchi clan. Even in some places at the head of the city, you can pick up clods of earth with your strength.

Can such a wall withstand artillery bombardment.

Ouchi Yoshixing has no bottom.

However, Ouchi Yoshixing did not show it at all, and said: "The order is to go down, everyone goes down to the city, and only a few guards are left, even if their artillery is powerful, it is the sword in our hands that really determines the victory." When he arrives in the city, he will fight to the death. ”

"Yes."

Ouchi's decision seemed to boost morale, but a look of inexplicability flashed in Mori Yoshimoto's eyes.

It was slowly getting dark.

Zhu Houhuang is ready to withdraw his troops.

Zhu Houhuang said secretly: "Tomorrow will start to attack the city." This city wall is too simple, and there is no artillery on the city, it only takes three or five days to collapse the city wall, and when the time comes, it will be necessary to see what else the Ouchi clan has against the army. ”

In this battle, Zhu Houhuang's mind is no longer here.

Japan's First World War was not in Zhu Houhuang's plan.

Ease relations with the imperial court and put a nail in the coffin in Japan, as for the future, we will talk about it later, and now it seems that there is no difficulty in this either, as long as it is done step by step. That's it.

At the same time as Zhu Houhuang withdrew his troops.

Ouchi Yoshixing watched as Sergeant Yong dragged down all the artillery. He sank for a long time and said, "Gather the generals." ”

He deeply realized that the artillery had dealt a great blow to the morale of the Ouchi clan.

For these Japanese daimyos, you can also explain to him what artillery is, but for these Japanese soldiers, it is not clear at all.

Many people regard the power of artillery as the ability of fire Shura. They regarded King Yong as a god who could manipulate fire and thunder. In many cases, the right ones don't spread much, but these absurd things spread very quickly, as if they are now.

However, how the Ouchi clan refutes the rumors, these words can no longer be banned.

Ouchi Yoshixing secretly said in his heart: "I can't go on like this." ”

If this continues, morale will only get lower and lower, and even many soldiers will not dare to make a move against the Yongjun, because the other party has the protection of the Divine Mansion.

So it's best to be quick.

Ouchi Yoshiko summoned everyone, swept everyone with a pair of eyes, and said, "Tonight's decisive battle." I was preparing for a night attack on the enemy camp. ”

Everyone's faces changed.

Night raids are the most difficult battles to organize, and most of the Japanese have night blindness. Without him, most Japanese people believe in Buddhism, and most of them don't eat meat, except for samurai.

But there were only a few samurai in the entire army, at most a few hundred, nearly a thousand. What role can these people play.

It's just that Ouchi Yoshiko can do anything?

He had no choice.

Drag is waiting for death, and night raid is desperate.

Ouchi Yoshihei would rather die than wait for death.

Ouchi Yoshixing's prestige was enough to suppress everyone, and even if they were not convinced in their hearts, they did not dare to oppose it.

Ouchi Yoshixing's gaze said: "Except for the Maori family, all the elites of the other families will join this battle, whether they live or die, it depends on the result today?" ”

Mao Li Yuan secretly breathed a sigh in his heart and said secretly: "Today's loss is worth it." ”

How can it not be worth it? He was not optimistic about this night attack, and if he didn't get it right, he buried all the elites of the army. As soon as I thought of this result, the gross profit was yuan, and I secretly prayed that I must win tonight.

Soran Mori was not optimistic about this battle, but he hoped that the Ouchi clan would win rather than lose, and the interests of the Mori family and the Ouchi clan were linked.

If the Ouchi clan fails, I'm afraid the Mori family will also suffer a big loss. If the Ouchi clan wins, the interests of the Mori family will be stabilized.

The current Maori Yuan is not so ambitious. I don't dare to have it.

But what is it like? It turned out to be another matter. Maori made a decision secretly in Yuan's heart, he had to make some preparations earlier.

Prepare to deal with the Ouchi clan who returned from a big defeat.
