Chapter 1243 - Blown Up
Defend Osumi Town?
Shimazu Kure's idea is very good, but now Cha Bolt has not given him the opportunity to hold Osumi Town, no matter how fast the infantry runs, it is not as fast as the cavalry, and the elite cavalry of the Tianxiong Army did not continue to besiege the Satsuma Domain, but rushed all the way to Osumi Town, and the distance of dozens of miles is a matter of one or two hours for the cavalry.
As soon as the afternoon came, the three thousand elite cavalry had already slaughtered under Osumi Town, and immediately launched an attack on Osumi Town.
After all, this is Dongying, it is the Satsuma Domain, not the Ming Empire, and the city defense of Osumi Town is at most the defense level of the county town of the Ming Dynasty, and the defensive infantry is better to say, for the cavalry, it is only a foot high, and the cavalry can even attack directly with the Satsuma Domain army on the horse!
The small Osumi Town hit only tens of thousands of people, and the number of troops was only hundreds, just looking at the surging 3,000 Heavenly Heroes army elite cavalry, the defenders of the Satsuma Domain were already frightened, murderous, and the sound of muskets was even more shocking!
The defenders of Osumi Town are not unprepared, but what they didn't expect is why the Ming army attacked so quickly, you must know that Shimazu Hisauri has entered the Osumi Fort with 5,000 troops, and now Kato Taka is with 10,000 elites to support, and the Yamato Fort that arrived only yesterday has only been a day and a night, and instead of driving the Ming army away, it has been rushed to Osumi Town by the elite cavalry of the people!
Damn!
Osumi Mamoru Nakajima Taro is full of resentment and grievances, Shimazu Kulie and Kato Taka are a bunch of waste, there are more than 10,000 of you, and you can't even stop the Ming army that has just landed, this is on your own territory, and you actually put in such a powerful cavalry, three or four thousand people! Lao Tzu's Osumi Town has all the troops, but there are only more than 400 people, this is still a fart?
However, complaining is complaining, since the Ming army came to Osumi Town, then Nakajima Taro can only fight hard, and the soldiers of the Satsuma Domain have no precedent for fleeing without a fight, if that is really the case, I will want to raise my head for the rest of my life!
"Order, all the soldiers climbed the city wall and prepared for battle! Pull up our two great cannons! ”
Osumi Town still retains two large general cannons that have fallen off the slag, the scale of tens of thousands of people, in the Ming Dynasty is just the scale of a small county town, in Dongying, it is already a large city, although it can not be compared with Edo Osaka and other big cities, but there is also a certain scale, there are a few artillery to defend the city is not unusual, however, because at the front of the Osumi Peninsula, a fort with thirty red-coated artillery has been deployed, it can be said that there is this fort, the hinterland of the Osumi Peninsula is as stable as Mount Tai, Naturally, the defense of Osumi Town has been relaxed, there were originally five guns, but now there are only two left, and the rest are no longer known where they have been gotten, and even these two guns are decades ago.
The old-fashioned thing, anyway, has never been used since Taro Nakajima took office, to be precise, since Taro Nakajima's predecessor.
Soon, the three thousand elite horsemen had already arrived at the castle of Osumi Town.
Zhao Xin followed Qin Mufeng to fight in the south and the north, and he was so experienced that he didn't even give Osumi any time to prepare, so he gave the order and launched a fierce offensive towards Osumi Town!
Three thousand elite horses rode outside Osumi Town, and sent six horizontal columns, staggered combat power, and as soon as they came up, they were shooting in waves!
Shoot one bullet in two minutes, six columns of horizontal formations take turns to shoot, and it will hardly take twenty seconds to fire a round of bullets, accompanied by the slow advance of the cavalry, alternately forward, and the dense bullets rushed towards the head of the city!
The Satsuma clan army in Osumi Town has finally seen what a truly invincible army is!
Not to mention the fighting power of the military elite cavalry, this wave after wave of bullets alone is enough to destroy the entire Osumi Town!
Dense bullets rushed to the face, and the defenders of the Satsuma Domain, who had just landed at the head of the city, had not yet understood what was going on, so they were shot one after another, turned over and planted the city, and in an instant, the Satsuma Domain army was in chaos, how could they have seen such a dense firearms attack? It's all over the place, but it's much scarier than artillery!
"Herald! Shoot the arrows, release the arrows! Get out all your bows and arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”
Taro Nakajima shouted sharply.
One by one, the Satsuma clan army took out bows and arrows and began to shoot towards the Ming army elite cavalry on the opposite side, but relying on the bow and arrow alone, it is impossible to block the three thousand Tianxiong army elite cavalry, not to mention, only less than two hundred bows and arrows, for three thousand elite cavalry, it is nothing at all, even if it is given two thousand bows and arrows to the Satsuma Domain, it is useless in front of the three thousand heavenly male army elite cavalry!
The super range of the flintlock musket alone is enough to restrain the bow and arrow, and the archers in the bullish spirit cannot shoot the feather arrows to three hundred steps away, and now the Ming army's elite cavalry is still two hundred steps away from the head of Osumi Town, and even if some feather arrows occasionally reach the front of the elite cavalry, it is already the end of the strong crossbow.
"Artillery, artillery, okay no!"
Taro Nakajima yelled.
As soon as Taro Nakajima's words fell, the two guns finally adjusted the angle, and the shells were stuffed into the artillery, and then the artillerymen ignited the fuse of the artillery!
Rumble! Rumble!
Suddenly, two violent explosions sounded, and Taro Nakajima didn't see the cannonball passing through the air, but felt like he was almost flying!
Taro Nakajima staggered a few steps away, and when he looked back, he saw that two artillery pieces were emitting black smoke, and several artillerymen had already fallen in a pool of blood, constantly twitching on the ground, and even the city wall was blown down!
Blown up!
Amaterasu, are you playing with me?
Nakajima Taro's face was full of grief and indignation, and it was not easy to fiddle with the artillery, not a single Ming army was killed, but more than ten of his own people were killed, and even the city wall was blown up!
"Kill!"
In just ten minutes, the elite cavalry of the Ming army had already launched more than a dozen waves of musket attacks, beating the Satsuma clan army to the bold, and there was no power to fight back! One by one, the Satsuma clan army hid behind the female wall of the city wall, and they didn't even dare to show their heads.
At this time, two explosions on the castle head blew a gap in the city wall, and the Satsuma clan army was already in chaos.
Zhao Xin naturally would not let go of such an excellent opportunity, and with a roar, three thousand elite horses rushed up to the top of the city!
Unstoppable, completely unstoppable!
Nakajima Taro looked around the southern castle of Osumi Town, the soldiers under his command were now less than two hundred, and the crazy rifle fire brought a huge blow to the Satsuma Domain, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of the casualties were killed!
Osumi-cho is over!
Zhu Jie said resentfully in the Forbidden City, you are big, even Osumi Town has been beaten to you, can't you vote for two more monthly tickets and give a reward? If anyone gives me a leader, I will take the emperor to the Forbidden City and wash my feet every day......
