Chapter 125: Three Sieges

Kobe Castle is the gateway to Northern Ise and the gateway to Ise Jingu. The Daomen army has already arrived in the city.

However, unlike the traditional ant-attached siege, the position of the Dao Gate is far away from the city wall, and only one gate can be seen with artillery ready to be in place.

The barrels of the cannons were like a forest, and the pitch-black muzzles were aimed at the walls of Kobe, ready to fire. The spring breeze was howling, and the flags were blown to the sound of hunting, and the soldiers at the head of the city, although they had firearms and a small number of artillery, still felt hopeless.

It was not catapults that were under the city, but heavy artillery. Can cannonballs and stones be compared? As for their artillery, they also use traditional solid shells, the so-called solid bullets, which are a solid iron bullets, while the artillery of the Daomen is a flowering shell, that is, a cannonball that can explode.

In addition, the fleet of the Tokai Division had approached Kobe Castle from the sea, and their naval guns could cover a small half of Kobe Castle.

However, this is not the most desperate, whether it is the heavy artillery on land or the naval artillery at sea, after all, there is a city wall as a cover, if not all of it, it can always block most of the artillery fire.

Kobe Castle is different from Kuju Castle, which is essentially a Jinya level, and the walls are simple, so it can easily be bombed into ruins, but Kobe Castle is a large city that has been operated by Tianmen for many years.

The thickness of the city wall can be seen from the depth of the city gate hole, not only a thin layer of bricks like the courtyard wall, the top of the city wall is as wide as a avenue, the average width is about four zhang, it can be used for six horses in parallel without crowding, and only such a city wall can place artillery beds and crossbows and other city defense equipment.

The essence of the city wall is rammed earth bricks, it is not difficult to destroy the outer bricks with artillery, if you want to break through the rammed earth, it is quite difficult, at least it will not be broken for a while.

The most desperate thing is the sky overhead, Daomen finally sent a flying boat force this time, which can directly cross the city wall and strike at the city.

enormous

The "Onryu" parades through Kobe Castle, casting huge shadows on the ground, making the atmosphere in the city extremely depressing, as if a dark cloud is hanging over everyone's hearts.

Many crane boats accompany them, like the stars holding the moon, and they also cast shadows, as if they were schools of fish. It's a black cloud.

Considering the various effects, the Daomen did not use the power that could directly destroy the Tsowenbu workshop

"Phoenix Eyes", but released numerous rockets. This is not a lit arrow, more like a large firework, but it is certainly much more powerful than fireworks, such as a rain of fire falling from the sky, and the buildings in the city are mainly wooden structures, and the fire is immediately abrasive.

Moreover, the Daomen is very targeted, mainly to launch rockets at the areas where the nobles live in the city, igniting those luxurious mansions and turning them into skyrocketing fires.

In fact, whether it is from the perspective of people's righteousness or from the perspective of military affairs, attacking the area inhabited by the nobles is the best choice, only by making them fearful, it is possible to force Kobe City to surrender, otherwise no matter how many ordinary people are killed and injured, those nobles will only be regarded as a number.

As the rockets fell, gongs rang out in the streets, and all kinds of noisy sounds came and went, some scattered and fled, and some put out fires everywhere.

Many of them, well-dressed men, surrounded by servant guards, left the burning houses and fled for refuge.

The rockets that fell from the sky made these nobles feel a great fear that they had never experienced before, and as long as they hid behind the thick walls, no matter what kind of bloody wind was outside, they could not intrude on their heads.

And now, the seemingly tall city walls can't stop the rockets of the Daomen, and death will befall them at any moment.

Before the war, many samurai nobles still clamored to fight until there were no houses and no pure land. As a result, the rocket just fell on their heads, threatening not only them, but also their families, and immediately it was not the same thing.

A crying sky shouted mother. This rain of fire lasted for a long time, and judging by its posture, it almost burned the noble areas of the city to ashes.

Finally, when the rocket baptism of the flying boat was over, the heavy artillery outside the city roared again. Shells fell on the city wall almost simultaneously, and the city wall that stretched for miles trembled, and countless dust rose from the cracks in the wall.

Although the cannonballs could not penetrate the city walls, they still blasted huge potholes in the walls, revealing the rammed earth under the wall tiles.

Before the old-fashioned artillery on the head of the city could fire, it had already been knocked out by the artillery of the Daomen.

The soldiers who defended the city were even more miserable, as their bones were left and were blown into a mist of blood, which in turn was burned by the flames.

Some of the shells crossed the city walls and landed inside the city, where they exploded. The continuous shelling was like an earthquake.

The continuous sound of artillery was like thunder. The city is full of thunder and fire. At the same time, the Tokai Division fleet at sea also began shelling Kobe Castle.

The power of naval artillery is even higher than that of land heavy artillery. Kobe Castle whimpered silently under the baptism of steel and fire.

The three thousand Xuanjia heavy cavalry did not enter the siege, and were still waiting. At the very least, wait until a large enough gap is blown in the wall before the army is over.

Kashin and Koshin stood side by side on a high ground outside the castle, looking at the battle situation in Kobe Castle with a clairvoyant mirror.

Jiachen Lingguan put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, turned his head to look at Jiashen Lingguan beside him, and asked, "Do you want to simmer slowly?" Jiashen Lingguan still held the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and his tone did not fluctuate in the slightest: "No way, if you want people's hearts, you can't let go of your hands and feet to fight." The camp gave us three orders, and we had no choice but to do what we were told. Jiachen Lingguan said: "Then stew, steam this pot of rice little by little, and in the end, it will all be cheaper than Fenglinzhou Daofu." After a while, the Jiashen Lingguan said, "I see that the heat is almost over, it's time to put some spices." Jiachen Lingguan took out the rod

"Dragonfly cut", casually on the shoulder: "I know that you didn't have a good heart when you gave me this spear, and you are waiting for me here, no matter what, who made me owe you a favor." Jiashen Lingguan said succinctly: "There is labor." Jiachen Lingguan didn't speak, turned and left.

Soon, more flying boats appeared in the sky above Kobe Castle. This time it wasn't rockets or that's dropped

"Phoenix eyes", but one after another pitch-black figures. These figures are covered in armor, barely visible through the gaps, and behind them are metal discs similar to Tai Chi Bagua, which rotate and disintegrate on their own, giving birth to wings transformed by divine power as they fall.

At a glance, it is densely packed, not to mention hundreds of people. It was the high-grade spiritual officials of the Dao Sect who were dispatched.

The one who leads is holding the spoils of war

The Jiachen spirit officer of "Dragonfly Cut". The warriors in the city rushed up like a tide, and the spirit officer of Jiachen just waved the spear in his hand at will, swept away the might, cut off dozens of people, and pushed the tide back with his own strength, and a circular no-man's land appeared around him.

At the same time,

After adjusting the position, the "Ying Long" also aimed the naval guns at the front wall, although they were not loaded

"Dragon's Eye Jiaji", but with the earth-shattering sound, the four-zhang thick city wall was blasted open a huge gap.

The siege method of climbing the city wall with a ladder is outdated, and it is foreseeable that it will be a matter of time before the city wall will withdraw from the stage of history.

The spirit officer finally gave the order to attack. The black cavalry began to advance, different from ordinary cavalry, these cavalry were like walking steel beasts, in addition to great mobility, they also had terrifying defenses comparable to those of the gods, and after them were all kinds of infantry.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu also participated in this battle, but the two were not in a position outside the city, but in

"Yinglong". Looking down on the battlefield from above is another feeling. just now

"Ying Long" opened fire, Qi Xuansu also took the initiative to participate in it, if the artillery is a large firecracker, then

The naval cannon of "Ying Long" is the largest movable gun in the world. Qi Xuansu likes firecrackers, and this time he has no regrets.

at

Under the suppression of "Ying Long", there were no celestial beings in Kobe City who rose into the air to fight. Not only was there no air battle, there was no naval battle, and there was no field battle out of the city.

This war is not tragic, or it can only be said to be tragic. It can even be said that this is a completely one-sided war, and from the beginning to the end, there is only one thing that Kobe Castle has done, and that is to be passively beaten.

There are two port cities in Ise, Tsujo is bloodless, but the future of Kobe is uncertain. The sound of the cannons had stopped, and in its place there was the sound of fierce firecrackers, which was as rapid as rain and incessant.

The fleet of the East Sea Division approached the coast, and the men in black began to land. During the discussion at Suzuka Mountain, Kiyoi Majin made it clear: "Because we take into account the casualties of civilians, we seem to be dancing in shackles, but considering the strength of the Daomen, I still think that we can end the battle in six hours and take Kobe Castle." "Six hours, or twelve hours, is a whole day.

Launch an offensive early in the morning and end the battle before dark. Order in Kobe Castle is collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fire is spreading rapidly.

The samurai who resisted were even more defeated. At this time, Qingwei Zhenren was not on the front line, not even in Suzuka Mountain.

In fact, after the Suzuka Mountain Deliberations ended, Kiyo Majin left Ise directly and returned to Hidekyo Xingying.

It's not because Kiyo Majin doesn't pay attention to the Ise war, but because there are more important things. News came from the base camp in Qizhou that the ship of the national division had set sail.

Although Qingwei Zhenren is a real person in charge of the army, it is obviously under the three deputy masters of the real person. In fact, because the position of the Great Sect Leader was vacant, the three Deputy Sect Masters took away a lot of authority that belonged to the Great Palm Sect, and their power was even higher than that of the Deputy Masters of the Great Sect in the past.

A lot of people don't think about that

The "rumors" turned out to be true. The national teacher is really going to come to Fenglinzhou in person. From this, it can also be seen that the determination of Taiping Dao and the Li family is strong, and the battle in Fenglinzhou cannot afford to lose half of it.

The siege of Kobe is just an appetizer, and the attack on Ise Jingu is the main meal.
