Just as Tokugawa Nen sent out the messenger to deliver the news, an infantry brigade of the Daimei Tiger Army quickly began to sweep the area around Osaka Castle.

The purpose is not only to create certain convenient conditions for the subsequent attack on Osaka.

It's even more important to be in Osaka Castle first.

Create a more dignified atmosphere of the army pressing.

In Zhao Yunkai's words, even if he hasn't started to fight yet. You have to scare and scare first!

....

The overall architectural pattern of Osaka Castle is very similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, with very thick walls.

Zhao Yunkai also has a certain understanding of this.

Send an infantry brigade first.

In addition to scare, another point is to open up a battlefield that can allow the Ming army to occupy favorable conditions.

Outside Osaka City, Li Ze's eyes were like torches.

And above the city walls, there was another person who was constantly peering out of the city.

That person is the current lord of Osaka, Tokugawa Nen.

I saw that his face was already pale at this time, and he grabbed a Japanese warrior beside him and said loudly: "Tell me!" What is the number of Ming troops! ”

The warrior was obviously also frightened by the battle of the Ming army.

I couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, and it wasn't until the end that I stumbled and said, "General.. Probably! Probably.. There are tens of thousands! Outside the fishing port, there are Ming warships everywhere! ”

Hiss.. As soon as these words came out, not only Tokugawa Nen's heart instantly turned to ashes.

Even many other shogunate military attachés around him closed their eyes, only feeling that they were probably living to the end of their lives today...

"With so many Ming troops attacking Osaka, didn't anyone detect it in advance?"

The doubts blurted out happened to show the panic in Tokugawa Nen's heart at the moment, but what he didn't know was... In order to cover the Ming army's smooth surprise attack on Osaka.

Saburo Tanashita's large peasant rebel army deployed in the southern part of Honshu Island can be described as attacking north along the eastern coastline day and night, making the entire eastern part of southern Honshu Island seem to be abandoned overnight.

Many small towns were given to the shogunate's army because of this.

Under such a cover, how could the news of the Ming army's arrival be transmitted... In addition, there is a strange wind blowing in Japan now, so that the sea ship transporting troops of the Ming Dynasty is like a divine help, and it arrived in Osaka earlier than expected.

The shogunate is more like a little girl who doesn't know anything in the dark.

It's time to be slaughtered.

"Quick! Prepare bows and arrows, and you must not let the Ming army get close to the city wall! ”

"Hey! Checkmate! We have already deployed most of our troops on the city walls, and we will definitely not let the Ming army take advantage of it! ”

After all, everyone knows it in their hearts.

This is tens of thousands of elite Ming troops! Relying on the poor number of samurai in Osaka Castle now, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Ming army will be crushed and broken through the city.

But Tokugawa Nen was standing on the city wall at the moment, and these military attachés could only grit their teeth and think of a way.

Outside the city.

Li Ze held a pair of binoculars tightly in his hand, and said to another officer of the Heavenly Tiger Army beside him: "Next... How to attack Osaka Castle depends on you! ”

After all, Li Ze was still a sailor officer of the Daming Shandong Water Division, facing this kind of land attack.

He's really not good at it.

The brigade commander of the Tianhu Army, whose name was Zhang Chong, was Jingqin, and he joined the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army from Shandong because of his excellent performance in training and his meritorious service in the battle against Liao.

Step by step, he became a brigade commander in the sequence of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army.

I saw that his face was equally serious, and he said, "The rest... I'll leave it to me! All people have. Prepare for the offensive! ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Heavenly Tiger Army shouted in unison!

"Third Company Commander! Pull up our new artillery! ”

"Yes! Brigade! ”

As the first Heavenly Tiger Army unit to arrive outside Osaka City, Zhao Yunkai handed over all the artillery that had been unloaded in the fastest time to Zhang Chong, and at this moment he was staring at the Osaka City Wall not far away.

"The commander of the third company. You're going to have to target us! I don't want you to blast open the turtle shell of Osaka Castle, but you can at least give me some head! ”

"Brigadier Commander! You can rest assured... If we were so close, we would all be able to miss... I don't need you to say, I, the commander of the artillery company, will pick it myself up tomorrow! ”

"Stop inking! Hurry up and prepare! ”

"Yes!" After the commander of the third company shouted, he hurriedly looked at all the new artillery pieces in the temporarily erected artillery position not far away.

...

Why go straight to the attack?

Instead of waiting for the follow-up of the large troops..

Zhang Chong had already received the answer from Zhao Yunkai before he arrived at Osaka City with Li Ze.

Time waits for no one, scare is to scare completely!

It was not so easy for the walls of the Japanese people to be destroyed by the new artillery of the Ming Dynasty, especially now that the first infantry brigade to arrive under the castle of Osaka only had an artillery battery.

That is... Three new guns!

Fast reloading, precise aiming...

The commander of the third company really lived up to Zhang Chong's expectations!

Boom Boom!

Although there were only three new guns, the shells fired in an instant also produced a loud sound that soared into the sky, and the projectiles that quickly slashed through the sky landed accurately on the Osaka Castle Wall not far away.

Fragments, concussions!

Suddenly, the shogunate soldiers with bows and arrows on the city wall were killed and wounded.

And Tokugawa Nen, who was still able to barely stand on the city wall to supervise the battle, was lucky not to be the target of the first attack, even though it was only three shells... has already made dozens of people beheaded.

The powerful power of the Ming artillery made Tokugawa Nen feel heartbroken for a moment.

His eyes widened and his legs trembled.

A sharp voice instantly appeared on the city wall: "Quick! Take me down! The Ming army has artillery! ”

Of course, the three shells are not over, and the first bombardment flew accurately to the Osaka city wall... Zhang Chong's face was overjoyed, and he said to the commander of the third company not far away: "You kid did a good job, wait for Osaka City to finish.. I'll give you two bottles of sweet potato roast! ”

Unexpectedly, the face of the third company commander instantly turned rosy, and he hurriedly said: "Brigade commander! Brigade.. Have you forgotten? This time we went out to the Japanese country, and our logistics operation space was limited, except for the medical soldiers who brought some alcohol... It's a little sweet potato and it's not pretended! ”

Zhang Chong suddenly slapped his forehead and said to the commander of the third company: "Continue to bomb and return to Daming..." I'll get you a few more bottles, and I'll make them up for you! ”

"Alright, Brigadier! We won't drop the chain for you! ”

"Everyone! Ready to reload! ”

"Fire!"

Boom Boom! Three artillery pieces continue to fire shells at the head of Osaka Castle!
