The rebels and the Tokugawa shogunate, which had turned over and became the masters, naturally swelled in strength after accepting the allegiance of a large number of wandering samurai and low-class samurai who had illusions, and the size of the army was repeatedly expanded, and there were not enough firearms?

It doesn't matter, it's not that big swords and spears can't kill!

The Tokugawa family, which has the most intact strength, took the lead in attacking Edo Castle, where the Han colonial army was stationed, in order to carry the righteousness of the vanguard of Japanese independence, and at the same time to erase their former shame!

Edo Castle is a rich Japanese city, for the Tokugawa family, there is also irreplaceable political significance, the original Tokugawa family only more than two thousand forced to shrink the family new army, naturally did not dare to have a variety of artillery to protect the Edo Castle, but now, under the repeated expansion of the Tokugawa family, the number of troops has already expanded tenfold, and naturally full of confidence to only more than 2,000 Han garrisons of Edo Castle!

The confident and powerful Tokugawa family army began to besiege Edo Castle with great vigor and ......

Bumped into a big bag......

Obviously, the Tokugawa family overestimated the fighting spirit of the so-called samurai who came to take refuge in them, and mistakenly compared the Japanese samurai at this time with the samurai before the Han bloodbath......

At this time, how many of the samurai who took refuge in the Tokugawa family were really willing to throw their heads and spill their blood to drive away the invaders?

The Han Kingdom has stepped on and stepped on the samurai class for so many years, and I haven't seen many samurai dare to really jump out and fight against the Han soldiers......

These samurai thought that the general situation of Japan had been decided, and the Han colonists were powerless to resist except for the coastal cities and a single Kyoto in the interior, and this should be a good time to collect the fruits of victory and restore their samurai identity and rights!

The lower-class samurai and the wandering samurai are not like those flag-based uncles, who do not have their own fiefdoms and fortunes, so if they want to take advantage of the reform of Japan and become a real samurai lord again, they naturally have to find a family to take refuge, which is why those rebellious daimyo and the Tokugawa family instantly expanded their military power......

If you want to cut people, these low-class samurai and wandering samurai are not intimidating, since they have decided to join their own family, it is natural for samurai to fight for their own family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But! Cutting people and fighting a tough battle with the garrison of the Han Empire are two things!

Originally, these samurai thought that the Han Kingdom was no longer good, and as long as they showed the bravery and fearlessness of the bushido spirit, they could capture Edo Castle in one rush, and the result was ......

First, a grenade smashed over, blowing up the samurai who most of them had not personally experienced the flowering bomb, and when these samurai and the Tokugawa family temporarily pulled up the strong men, with the advantage of numbers, finally came to Edo Castle, ushered in a real hell!

A large number of bullets and grapeshot instantly hit these uninformed samurai and strong men in the face!

Even, these Tokugawa troops, who looked high in morale before the war, didn't even touch the walls of Edo Castle!

Even the commander of the Han major who guarded Edo Castle saw clearly the essence of the Japanese samurai, they were old ladies who were too old to be a year, and a year was not as good as a year......

When the bravest samurai of the first generation were purged again and again, the remaining Japanese samurai were nothing more than fools with empty skins but lost the soul of bushido!

At first, the Tokugawa family did not believe in evil, thinking that this temporarily expanded army had not seen the power of artillery and musket salvos, and was not adaptable, so in the later days, they continued to launch high-intensity attacks!

Commonly known as the ant siege!

It's just that this kind of siege method of attacking the city with good results, which is commonly used in the era of cold weapons, is useless except for leaving corpses all over the ground under the cover of artillery shotguns and the salvo of muskets!

Bows and crossbows can't stop the crowd, but artillery and muskets can, and the tall walls play a huge role at this moment!

Naturally, the Tokugawa family also wanted to use artillery to bombard the tall walls of Edo Castle to defend the troops of the Cold Weapon Age, but the artillery of the Tokugawa family could not be compared with the Han Kingdom at all, and it was still low and high!

The caliber is not enough, the number is insufficient, and there are no flowering shells yet, how to bombard the Han garrison?

After the only artillery unit was bombarded by the Han defenders of Edo Castle, the Tokugawa family realized that the former Han Empire had not weakened, and the reason why the Japanese were able to make such a big move was simply because the Han State did not make a move......

However, the Tokugawa family realized a little too late, this anti-flag is not easy to withdraw, this is a road of no return, even if you give up your roots, you have to fight for the future, otherwise, with the murderous revenge of the Han State, the Tokugawa family may not even be able to keep an heir!

The Tokugawa family was firmly blocked from Edo Castle, much to the disappointment of the white Europeans, and the other rebels, in order not to disappoint their arms suppliers, began to gather all their armies, and selected the Papro Lady Horse who was alone in Kyoto Castle, intending to take this politically significant capital of Japan and kill a decent general of the Han Kingdom!

For the sake of insurance, the rebels have completely let go of their prejudices against each other this time, they have all taken out the old foundation, and the scale of the rebellion is large enough, if it fails again, it is impossible for everyone to lurk!

This time, almost all the Japanese daimyo and high-ranking bannermen participated in the rebellion against independence, and as long as the Han Kingdom wanted to continue to control the Japanese island, it was absolutely impossible to keep them!

There were still quite a lot of people gathered by the upper echelons of the entire Japanese country, and hundreds of thousands of troops firmly besieged the city of Kyoto, and proudly sent envoys to Paprov, wanting to land them!

The result, of course, was that the head of the Japanese emissary was sent out......

The defeat of the Tokugawa family had already told the Japanese daimyo about the great power of the Han firearms, and although those white Europeans were very generous and generally sent a large number of muskets at a loss, they did not give a single one of the truly advanced artillery!

At most, give some backward bronze cannons from a hundred years ago......

After all, the current American War is in full swing, whether it is the Kingdom of Spain or the Kingdom of Portugal, all the equipment is transported to the American battlefield to fight with the Han Empire, as an expensive and scarce advanced artillery, they themselves are not enough, how can they give this group of Japanese cannon fodder?

Artillery and flintlock guns are not the same!

Therefore, the rebel daimyo coalition army, which claimed to be the Japanese Independence Army, had no choice but to repeat the mistakes of the Tokugawa shogunate, fighting for the battle damage of old-fashioned artillery, covering a large number of ashigaru infantry to attack the castle!

I wonder if the Japanese Independence Army, which had far more troops than the Tokugawa shogunate, could achieve the results they wanted.
