Chapter 215: I can't stand it

Bang~~~

With a bang, hiding behind the battlements, the body of the soldier of the royal family wearing armor and armor was suddenly shocked out in a semicircle, and even if the soldier who landed on the ground was not cut into his body by shrapnel, his internal organs were also shocked by the shock wave of the explosion, and only the strength of foaming at the mouth and blood remained......

This kind of scene continued to occur on the walls of Edo Castle and behind the battlements, and the Shogunate army, which was greatly injured, naturally did not dare to confront the menacing Tiger Wolf Marines in the field, and before Mondora's men and horses arrived in Edo, the Tokugawa shogun withdrew all the reinforcements into the city, intending to follow the example of defeating the Honorable Independent Regiment of the Americas!

Anyway, the Japanese people have it, and the farmer Ashigaru is even more like he is dying, even if it is the samurai class, after opening up the recruitment of wild samurai, there are also plenty of soldiers!

Of course, these wild samurai are not like those core samurai of the family, loyal to the enemy to the death, the Tokugawa shogunate has saved so much capital, it is all the cultivation and accumulation of several generations, and the banner of loyalty and courage is not so easy to pull up!

It's just that although the morale of these reinforcements and temporarily recruited wild samurai is average, it should be enough to cooperate with their own army to defend the city, and the Tokugawa Shogun thinks so anyway......

However, when Mondora fired dozens of cannons and bombarded the Edo castle defenses, tearing down almost all the crossbows and old-fashioned forts, the shogunate's ministers did not think so......

The infantry attack of the Honor Independent Regiment of the Americas before had already made them anxious, but they didn't expect that the power of the new artillery made these shogunate retainers who were still immersed in the glory of the feudal era dumbfounded!

The range and power are far beyond the shogunate's perception of the big gun (Japanese artillery), and the defenders of Edo Castle have basically become a dilemma of being bombarded but unable to fight back, even if the artillery is direct after all, the blasting shells filled with black powder are not powerful enough to destroy the Edo Castle defenses that have been reinforced many times, well, it can be done long enough, if the logistics supply is not across a Pacific Ocean, Mondora will definitely do that......

After destroying the large long-range attack equipment of the Edo Castle defenses, Mondora spilled weapons that had already been developed by the Han Empire but were rarely used in the wars against the European powers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Large-caliber curved guns!

The ancestor weapon of this mortar can shoot large special grenades into the back of obstacles in a curved manner, giving a lot of lethality to the living forces hiding behind the fortifications and city defenses!

You know, fortifications and city defenses require a lot of troops to defend them, so the soldiers hiding behind are very dense (if not, the enemy will attack in a dense charge!). You can imagine the power of this explosive projectile filled with a large amount of black powder to explode in a pile of people!

This curved cannon has little destructive power on fortifications and city walls, but it is a nightmare for enemy soldiers, and the reason why it is not used on a large scale on the battlefield is only because it has a fatal flaw, and the range is too short!

Even with a very good quality flintlock pistol (bad quality will not go far...... Hit, all are likely to hit the position of the curved artillery!

Therefore, in firearms warfare, curved guns are rarely used in field battles, and only when attacking the city with overwhelming firepower superiority can large-caliber curved guns be used when it is difficult for the defending soldiers to even shoot with their heads out!

Of course, once this large-caliber curved gun is fully powerful, it also means that the war is coming to an end......

Just like now, Mondora, who bullied the Japanese and could only use arquebuses that were worse than flintlock pistols, pulled out a specially prepared large-caliber curved guns, and under the escort of the infantry team, swaggered under Edo Castle and bombarded the Japanese soldiers hiding their heads and tails behind the city walls!

Whenever she saw the dwarf figure on the city wall screaming and being blown away, Mondora felt extra comfortable!

"Regiment commander, we have been bombarding with curved artillery for most of the day, and there are not many Japanese on the city wall anymore, I think, their morale has also been almost blown up by the shells, do you want the siege troops to rush up?" Apardo suggested.

"Don't do that, our soldiers are the capital of the Tiger Wolf Marines, among those Japanese, there will always be a handful of crazy people who are not very smart and even play suicide, even if most of the Japanese soldiers have no determination to resist, many people will die in attacking this kind of city defense.

Apardo, you must know that if there is no big war on the mainland of the empire, it will be difficult for us to replenish such Indian veterans with combat experience, and it is even more impossible for Han soldiers to replenish the Tiger Wolf Marines, and the Han soldiers will only continue to strengthen the strength of Wang Gang's turtle son!

Therefore, this 5,000-person army is our last capital, whether it is to increase the rank of official or to settle down, you and I have to rely on these people, naturally we have to cherish it extra, when the shells are gone, you can ask Wang Gang's turtle son, and the soldiers are gone, we will be the instructors of those recruits who shoot with their eyes closed! ”

Apardo listened to Mondora's understatement about the powerful relationship, and after being stunned for a moment, he stopped talking, he was not very proficient in the above Dao, just now he was just analyzing it purely from a military point of view, as long as he paid a small amount of battle damage, Edo Castle could almost be properly taken, at least the part of the city wall!

In this way, Mondora's men and horses were bombarded for 3 days, and the Japanese did not know Mondora's mind to preserve his strength, and the shogunate generals who had seen the Han Empire's siege ability could only drive the soldiers to replenish the loss of the city wall!

If you simply count a math problem, even if all the shells carried by the Han Empire were exhausted, it would not be possible to kill the army in Edo Castle, and even half of the people would not be killed or wounded!

It's just, this morale......

Not to mention those wild samurai and foreign soldiers, even many of the royal family samurai of their own family can't stand it!

Being killed so miserably that you can't even touch the enemy's edge is the most desperate thing!

Even if it's seppuku suicide, it's more comfortable than being blown up!

If you are lucky, you will be killed by one shot, but most people will not be able to breathe with one shot, and they will wail for a long time under various shrapnel wounds and shocks, and even mutilated limbs......

With the medical standards of the Japanese people of this era, even if the shrapnel was removed by crude methods, most of the wounded would have died from various bacterial infections!
