Tong~Tong~Tong......

Cheap animal skins and even countless small objects such as iron nails, iron sheets, iron slag and other small objects wrapped in cloth bags, the gunpowder in the large-caliber artillery powder room, the impact kinetic energy that burst out instantly after being ignited, violently pushed out of the cannon chamber!

Suddenly affected by the huge kinetic energy, those fragile animal skins and cloth bags could not bear it at all, and as soon as they came out of the gun chamber, they completely lost their wrapping effect, and a large number of various hardware and small objects in it were spread happily to the Japanese 'independence army' that was attacking the city with ants!

Suddenly, another round of screams and wails rose in large numbers, and the troops composed of the low-level samurai, ronin, and farmer, who had already suffered a lot of losses, once again succeeded in 'losing weight'......

Just looking at the number of people lost, compared with the siege as a whole, it is not too ugly, but this kind of grapeshotfire attack with huge close-range lethality is undoubtedly fatal to morale, and even the European modern standing army cannot withstand the close-range intensive shooting of grapeshot, not to mention these Japanese who gathered with a moment of courage and slogans?

As a result, tens of thousands of ants attached to the Japanese who were attacking the city retreated back in such an incredible way!

The Russian grenadiers on the city of Kyoto were obviously unwilling to let go of these rebellious Japanese, and the muskets behind them rang out in their butts, killing and wounding the Japanese Independence Army unscathed!

Hundreds of Japanese Independence Army fell with each salvo!

These Japanese independence armies are the fundamental force of those rebel daimyo!

After the Japanese Independence Army was out of the range of muskets, the artillery had already been reequipped with flowering shells with a longer range, that is, grenade shotguns!

The shrapnel can become the standard artillery shell of the Han Empire, and the large-scale equipment army replaces the position of the iron ball shell, mainly because it has a thin wall, and is filled with gunpowder and small steel balls or steel arrows and steel balls. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The INFO warhead is equipped with a timing fuse, which can explode over the intended target or explode after hitting the target, and can carry out greater damage to the enemy's living forces.

In the Han Empire, in addition to special siege and siege battles, when it is necessary to bombard solid fortifications, it is basically used to replace large iron eggs!

In this world, in addition to the British who have mature howitzer manufacturing technology, only the Han Empire can manufacture howitzers on a large scale and at low cost!

Although other European powers have also found a way to manufacture shrapnel bombs, they lack key cost-reducing technologies and have never been able to assemble them on a large scale, otherwise they will go bankrupt......

Obviously, with such a key grenade cartridge manufacturing technology, it is impossible for the Han Empire to set up a processing factory in Japan, to be precise, Zhao Dutian, who completely treats Japan as a cheap pedal, has not even built a firearm manufacturing workshop in Japan!

At most, there were a few workshops for processing lead bullets and gunpowder in the large coastal cities, which could provide ammunition supplies for flintlock guns, and there were absolutely no artillery factories!

A few processing workshops in Japan's coastal cities can also make shoddy primitive grapeshotpie bombs from the sky, which are all kinds of small hardware ammunition wrapped in cloth or animal skins fired from the city of Kyoto, and then they are simple and real iron bullets, and the production capacity is really unsightly compared to the local factories of the Han Empire......

Japan's processing factories only need to maintain the use of their own garrisons, and artillery factories will never appear, and flintlock pistols are allowed to establish several weapons in Japan to supplement the garrison due to poor manufacturing technology!

Even so, deep inland, Kyoto Castle doesn't even have a gun processing workshop!

Buckshot is a good solution, as long as there is a ready-made lead plate, the soldiers themselves can bake it, use pliers and other tools to knead it into a ball, crude black powder, for the Japanese country that has popularized arquebus technology, is not difficult to obtain.

But!

Artillery and even powerful shrapnel can be said to be completely unreplenished!

And in the armory of Kyoto City, the most stored thing is the shrapnel that cannot be replenished!

It can be said that the Japanese Independence Army besieged the city of Kyoto and was defeated repeatedly, and the shrapnel constantly fired at the head of the city exerted great power!

From 500 meters away, condescending artillery could easily send shrapnel over the heads of hordes of Japanese independence troops, making them water the ground beneath their feet with blood at every step they approached!

This method of constant bloodletting quickly brought the morale of the soldiers of the Japanese Independence Army to a critical point, and when approaching the city, only one or two rounds of cheap grapeshotter shells with a few rounds of musket salvos were needed, and the Japanese Independence Army was bound to collapse!

In just one week, more than 100,000 Japanese independence troops threw more than 30,000 corpses under the city of Kyoto!

Even those low-level samurai and werewolves who defected to the country have already seen a strong sense of resistance!

These Japanese daimyo high-ranking samurai rebels really want to take Kyoto, the capital city of great political significance in Japan, and each time they send a trained Ashigaru army and a low-level samurai ronin!

The samurai class of the entire Japanese country has been constantly losing and losing since the invasion of the Han Kingdom, and even some Japanese samurai were stimulated to doubt their lives when the Han State completely subdued the Japanese State, and they denied the so-called spirit of bushido, and changed careers to do something else, which caused a large number of losses to the samurai class in Japan!

Even the Han people themselves don't know how many Japanese samurai families have completely disappeared directly or indirectly because of the invasion of the Han Kingdom!

Therefore, those rebellious Japanese daimyos, no matter how cruel they were, did not dare to consume these last batch of samurai seeds!

Although it was humiliating to be blocked outside the city of Kyoto by less than 2,000 Russian soldiers, after more than a week of high-intensity death, the Japanese daimyo who was poor at mathematics understood a truth.

The lives of the remaining samurai are gone, and they can't deplete the reserves of the armory in Kyoto City!

This is also something that can't be helped, if you can't fight, you can't fight, if you don't recognize Kyoto City, you won't surrender, if you can't take Kyoto City, Japan's independence will always be missing the biggest link, not to mention, the Tokugawa family under Edo Castle, the second most important city in Japan, will lose even more!

Edo Castle is a large coastal city, and it can be supplied with arms!

Although the fleets of Spain and Portugal cut off the routes between the Americas and Japan, they were unable to gather and annihilate the Han fleets in the big coastal cities of Japan.

There are more Spanish and Portuguese boats, but they need more places to use the boats!
