Chapter 300: Bombardment of Guanyin Temple City!

In the face of the hexagonal family's obstruction, Gao Xianda was naturally not polite. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Gao Xianda immediately issued an order, and if any army dared to block the progress of the Imagawa family, it would be killed.

As a result, whether it was a small group of scout troops or the Rokkaku troops who had no time to evacuate, they were all ruthlessly exterminated by the Imagawa army.

There was no way to slow down the advance of the Imagawa family, and the Imagawa army pushed all the way to the castle of Kannonji two days later.

At this time, not to mention the reinforcements of the Miyoshi family, even the defenders in the city of Guanyin Temple have not yet gathered. At this time, reinforcements from the other two cities of the Rokkaku family, Sakamoto Castle and Hino Castle, naturally had not yet arrived.

Seeing that the Imagawa army was approaching the city, Rokkaku Chengzhen could only hurriedly order the city gate to be closed and prepare for defense.

"Siege!" Gao Xianda was unceremonious, and asked his soldiers to line up to surround the Guanyin Temple City, and the tail of each army turned to form a situation facing outward. In this way, no matter which direction the reinforcements arrived, they did not want to sneak up on Gao Xianda's troops.

This is a standard encirclement position.

Gao Xianda looked inward, this Guanyin Temple Castle is indeed a big city, the castle tower is towering into the sky, surrounded by multiple layers of stone walls, it is indeed difficult to break through it by ordinary infantry.

Therefore, Gao Xianda still adhered to the idea of attacking the heart first, and shouted to the city: "Hexagonal Chengzhen, we are here in Shangluo this time!" It has nothing to do with your hexagonal home! Surrender to Kaejo! I promise to keep your identity and status! ā€

Rokkaku Chengzhen shouted from the castle tower: "Imagawa clan is true! My Roxagonal family has no grievances with you, and I have agreed to your request to borrow the road, why did you take the bribe of the Asai family to attack me? ā€

Only then did Gao Xianda know that the Rokkaku family had rebelled because the Asai family had given him a lot of property. But at this time, he couldn't deny it, so he could only say: "The Asai family is an ally with us, but this matter has nothing to do with your Roxagonal family!" I didn't intend to attack you, but you went back on your word and blocked my way to Shangluo! ā€

Hexagonal Chengzhen said: "You don't come to lie to me, if it weren't for earning me, how could the Asai family give you so much money?" Anyway, as long as I'm here, you Imagawa Army won't want to go over! ā€

"Good!" Gao Xianda laughed angrily and said, "You are obviously to blame!" No wonder me! When I break through the city, I will surely catch you with a thousand cuts! ā€

Hexagonal Chengzhen said: "Hmph, you can blow it!" See how you break through my Kannonji Castle! We have contacted the Miyoshi family, and the troops of the Miyoshi family will come to our rescue soon! You'll look good then! ā€

That being said, Hexagonal Chengzhen actually has no bottom in his heart. After all, the Miyoshi family is temporarily gathering troops, and I don't know how long it will take to come over to support.

A month, two months, or three months?

The Imagawa family must have had enough food before they came, and the Asai family gave them at least six months' worth of food. So as long as the reinforcements don't come, it will definitely not be a problem for the Imagawa army to besiege here for a year and a half. The Hexagons have to be prepared for a protracted battle this time.

However, Hexagonal Chengzhen looked at the strong walls of Guanyin Temple City and the full warehouses in the city, and his heart immediately became much more stable.

Reinforcements from Sakamoto Castle and Hino Castle did not come, so there was no problem with the food reserves in Kannonji Castle being enough for the existing defenders to eat for two years. Kannonji Castle is right next to Lake Biwa, and it is impossible to cut off the water supply.

The Imagawa family's army has a large number of people, and they eat more food, and if they compare consumption, they will definitely not be able to compare with the Rokkaku family. If the Imagawa family cannot be attacked for a long time, the Asai family may not be able to provide them with continuous food assistance, and over time, the Imagawa family will definitely retreat.

Even if they don't retreat, the Miyoshi family's troops are coming soon. The Miyoshi family is a giant of, with a huge army, and it is not known who will kill the deer. Even if it is a draw with the Imagawa family, when the time comes, the Rokkagons will rush out of the city and attack them inside and outside, and they are still worried that the Imagawa army will not be broken?

Thinking of this, Hexagonal Chengzhen's heart was much more stable.

"I'm going to see how you Imagawa Army died!" Hexagonal Chengzhen was also a little ruthless. Then the order was sent down, and all the warriors held the city walls, not giving the Imagawa family a glimmer of hope of attacking the city.

But he underestimated the strength of the Imagawa army.

Goseenda not only had a cavalry and musket corps, but also a secret army.

Gao Xianda found Kinoshita Tengjiro and said, "You can take out the big guys!" ā€

"Yes!" Kinoshita Tengjiro agreed.

Under the protection of the infantry, the artillery unit under Kinoshita Tengjiro began to disassemble the fifteen naval guns from the wagons and assemble them.

These people were carefully selected by Kinoshita Tengjiro. Most of them were born from strong peasant backgrounds. An individual's martial arts may not be very high, and the calculation of ballistics may not be clear. But they were all very strong and loaded and unloaded very quickly.

These were naval guns, much larger than conventional land guns, and they were not equipped with wheels. It needs to be loaded in a horse-drawn cart and assembled in battle. That's what you need to be able to do with your strength.

It didn't take long for fifteen cannons of varying lengths to be installed, and the muzzles of the cannons were aimed at the main castle tower inside the castle of Kannonji Temple.

Kinoshita Tengjiro personally went over and adjusted the angle of each cannon to make sure that it would not deviate too much.

"Report to the lord, the cannons are all ready to fire! Please instruct! Kinoshita Tengjiro held a small red flag in his hand at this time, and reported to Gao Xianda majestically.

"Fire!" Gao Xianda gave an order. The small flag in Kinoshita's Tengjiro hand waved downward.

"Ignition!" When the squad leader of each cannon received the order, he lit the fuse with the torch that had already been lit in his hand.

As the fuse shortened, fifteen cannons roared and fired the shells out of their barrels.

Artillery of different calibers and ranges, and shells fired in different arcs covered the sky of the entire Guanyin Temple Castle.

A loud bang followed.

The solid projectile smashed precisely into the wall of the stone. The solid-looking walls shattered like slices of sugar, and shells continued to blast into the house, inflicting a new round of damage on the wooden structures inside.

When had the hexagonal Chengzhen on the castle tower seen such a terrifying scene? The tallest cannonball had already hit the roof of the castle tower, directly into his house from above. Hexagonal Chengzhen had to be considered fateful, so he was not hit by that cannonball.

However, the wooden floor of the house had been shattered by the shells, and shards of wood were scattered everywhere, and many of them also pierced Rokkaku Seungzhen's body.
