Boom~Boom......

The old-fashioned bronze cannons and the European-made 6-pounder guns constantly bombarded the scars and broken walls not far away, and the Tokugawa family flag fluttering above the parapet wall had long been smoked gray and black, and there were many bullet holes in it!

After the artillery bombardment, a large number of Japanese iron guns lined up in a horizontal line, hula-la, quickly advanced to the firing range, and crackled at the shogunate defenders on the parapet wall and fired their guns!

There are flintlock pistols and arquebuses in the iron cannon houses, and the ancient three-stage shooting is practiced!

After the first person shoots, immediately hand the musket to the soldier behind him to load, take the loaded musket and continue shooting!

This is the most practical tactic of the Japanese iron artillery!

The loader of the arquebus often needs 4 or 5 people to keep the fire, while the flintlock gun only needs 2 people!

This tactic can maintain a steady stream of firepower output against cold-armed troops, which is very useful, but if it is against all-firearms troops......

If the enemy's morale can still be barely used, once this tactic is used to advance to the British lobster soldiers who advance to within 30 paces of a salvo, it will be miserable!

The firepower output is endless, and it is even more 'dizzying' when it collapses!

However, this tactic against the shogunate army can be called a god-level tactic!

The reason is simple, even the firearms units in the shogunate army used this type of three-stage shooting......

And the soldiers in the Southwest Coalition Army are obviously more idealistic, more confident in victory, and have higher morale!

Naturally, it lasts longer!

Over time, the shogunate army did not dare to play this kind of confrontation with the elite of the Southwest Alliance, and the shogunate's iron artillery was generally only used to deal with the huge number of spears and light cannon fodder in the Southwest Alliance......

In this decisive battle against Minami Shinano, the shogunate army was obviously unable to abuse the cannon fodder used to contain them, and gathered the elite southwest coalition army of firearms, and the shogunate army struggling with this line of defense was suppressed as soon as the war began......

A Japanese from the Southwest Coalition Army, who was sitting on a war horse and wearing pitch-black armor, put down the monoculars from the white Europeans in his hand and said happily: "It seems that these so-called descendants of the shogunate can't hold on, and after the iron cannon bombardment for an hour, we can let our samurai charge!" ”

The armor-equipped samurai who was also riding on a war horse next to him immediately complimented: "The Mori family governor is wise and powerful, and he is like a god, our army has won many battles, and after capturing Minami Shinano today, there is no barrier in front of the family territory of the Tokugawa shogunate, and our southwest coalition army can sweep in one fell swoop, and completely destroy the foundation of the Tokugawa family!" ”

"Haha, hahaha......"

Amid the wild laughter of the Maori governor, the foot samurai of the Southwest Coalition Army, under the shouts of the high-ranking flags, wore armor and feet, carried the family flag on their backs, drew their katanas, and launched a charge with a roar!

In less than an hour, the elite samurai of the Southwest Coalition Army rushed to the top of the city, slashing the last elite of the shogunate family with great momentum!

While watching the imminent victory, the Maori Governor talked and laughed with the military generals and retainers around him, and had a lot of pride and ambition to talk and laugh and be wiped out......

However, just when the Maori governor was happy with a group of Southwest Coalition bigwigs, there was a panicked full-footed cavalryman, galloping in embarrassment, and even when he dismounted, his legs and feet were weak and almost fell to the ground!

This kind of image of hurting the military prestige made the Maori governor frown, and he had already begun to sketch out the idea of asking the identity of this cavalryman afterwards and punishing him well!

"Report! Report to the lord, a large number of overseas Han soldiers have appeared in the southwest of our army, and the troops of the Tosa family have been defeated! The other side is closing in on our flank! ”

The expressions of the Maori Governor and the people around him changed, although they had long known that the army of the Han Empire was participating in the war, but they did not expect the other party's march speed to be so fast, in anticipation, it would be noon tomorrow at the earliest, and the army of the Han Empire would not arrive on the battlefield at the earliest......

Naturally, the Maori governor would not have known the gap between the marching speed of the Japanese feudal army and the well-disciplined and rapid march of the Han Empire!

However, the Maori Governor was only a little surprised by the speed and strength of the Han army, and all the firearms elites in the Southwest Coalition Army were assigned to the main attack force of the Maori Governor, so the Tosa family army was just a pure cold weapon Japanese feudal army, and it was not surprised that it was defeated by the all-firearms Han army in a short time......

It's just that just when the Maori governor was about to defeat the main force of the shogunate in front of him and slowly maneuver with the Han army, a dense volley of muskets suddenly came from within the protective wall of the shogunate's defense line!

When the Maori governor raised his monoculars in disbelief to look, he couldn't help but gasp!

I saw a brand-new Tokugawa shogunate flag re-erected, and a large number of troops wearing tight-fitting military uniforms similar to those of the Han army, wearing hats on their heads, and all armed with flintlock pistols, exchanged fierce fire with their own samurai who rushed forward!

The armor with good defense against cold weapons is sufficient, and it can't even block a bullet in front of the flintlock pistol, no matter how brave the Japanese samurai is, they will fall to the ground weakly after being hit!

What really shocked the Maori Governor was that these new shogunate troops were clearly the real main force, numbering in the thousands!

The samurai who rushed forward were almost half killed by a few salvos from the opposite side, and they were driven down with a wail!

The soon-to-win Southwest Coalition Army naturally did not just retreat, and the iron artillery under the moat had already rushed up along the gap blown out by the artillery and even climbed the city wall, relying on all kinds of obstacles, and launched a fierce confrontation with the main force of the new shogunate army that came to help!

All of a sudden, the roar of muskets completely replaced the shouting of killing, and the Southwest Coalition Army, which was about to win a big victory, was dragged into a confrontation of mutual consumption!

This kind of attrition is undoubtedly beneficial to the Southwest Coalition Army, because the Maori Governor is under the command of almost all the firearms troops of the Southwest Coalition Army, and there are a large number of artillery to help, and if this continues, those new shogunate troops will be finished sooner or later, but the people of the Tosa family have been defeated, and the crisis on the flank makes the Mori Governor feel anxious!

Just as the Maori governor's eyes flickered, another embarrassed cavalryman came to his eyes......

The Maori Governor's eyelids jumped when he saw the familiar scene, and sure enough, the cavalryman cried and shouted to many bigwigs: "My lord, something is wrong, the people and horses of the Satsuma Domain in the southeast have been wiped out by a group of tall white troops!"
