442. Mortars show their might
Yi Yun's army hurriedly walked forward, only to see that under the Kajimu Castle in front, the armies of the Ito family and the liver Fu family had already shown a semi-encircled situation, and more than 3,000 troops were spread out, which was not a small amount. This time it was also the Jedi counterattack of the Ito family and the liver Fu family who smashed the pot and sold iron, because they had been beaten to death by Shimazu, and they took advantage of the super backer of Yiyun to hurry up and fight to the death, so they summoned the samurai at home, along with Ashigaru.
Yi Yun raised his eyes and looked, only to see that the Kaji Wood City was very well built, the city was high and thick, with a strong Fusang flavor, and there were hundreds of fire soldiers on the head of the city, all carrying iron cannons, looking at the city with full attention, and there were also hundreds of archers, who also opened their bows and arrows to face the bottom.
Yi Yun said to the liver: "What kind of attack method do you usually use to attack the city?"
He wiped a handful of sweat and said, "Let the soldiers put hook claws on their hands and feet and climb the city wall......"
"No ladders, wells, carts, trebuchets," Iyun asked curiously.
"What are these things?" said the liver was amazed.
Evan: "......"
No wonder these guys can't attack a small city for half a day, it turns out that they don't have siege equipment. Yi Yun had learned some of the history of Fusang's Warring States period before, and it seemed that Fusang had such a thing as a cloud ladder, right? Could it be that after changing the world, it was gone? Maybe in this strange world, Fusang was more primitive and barbaric. Now he finally understood. These Fusang dumb melons can't even make siege weapons, no wonder they can't take other people's cities.
Isn't this a pit father? Without siege weapons, he faced the 800 enemies who defended the city with muskets and bows and arrows. It's really hard to attack.
Yi Yun couldn't help but snort and laughed: "Tell your soldiers to prepare to take over the city, and I can send fifty people to help you." ”
"Fifty people?" Both Liver Fu Kanesu and Ito Yoshisuke were frightened: "Honorable lord, how can you only send fifty people? To say the least, you have to send 5,000 men. Even if you send fifty samurai, they won't fly. ”
"Hmph, give me a quiet look!" Iyun waved his hand. The herald ordered: "Let fifty mortars prepare ......"
Soon, fifty artillerymen came out of Yiyun's army, each of them carrying a small iron pipe, which was not long or thick, the size of a man's arm. The group walked out of the queue and saluted Yiyun, ignoring the fools of the Liver Fu family and the Ito family. He went straight to Kajigi Castle.
Both Liver Fu and Yoshiyu Ito are in a bit of a trance, what is this?
I saw fifty mortars walking not far from the city of Kajiki, about a mile away. Mortars are the most earthy, worst, and worst of all the artillery. It also has a range of more than 1,000 meters, and if you go to a distance of one mile, you can properly bomb the city.
These mortars have not yet participated in actual combat, and this is the first time they have participated in the war, so it is inevitable that they are a little apprehensive. That's why I deliberately walked so close to a mile, and generally speaking, an artillery position should be erected two miles away.
Yi Yun said to the liver: "Let your subordinates come over with four or five hundred people, take care of my fifty subordinates, and don't let them be attacked by the enemy's daring troops." ”
Yi Yun can actually use his own people to protect the artillery, but he deliberately wants to protect the liver and continue to protect it, the purpose is to train loyal dogs, and let the puppet soldiers know that the army from our Celestial Dynasty is the protagonist, what do you ...... That is, to be the material of the guard.
He still doesn't know what the mortar is for, aren't these 50 people going to attack the city? Why do you want me to use 4 or 500 people to protect it? I don't understand...,
His heart was full of doubts, and he didn't know whether this would be successful or not, but he had already recognized Yi Yun as the master, so he had to be obedient, and he still ordered his army to divide five hundred people, and his son Fu Liang personally led the team to surround the artillerymen.
The mortars put the iron pipe they carried on their shoulders on the ground, unfolded the bracket, fixed it, and then unhurriedly stuffed gunpowder into the iron pipe and put it into the projectile. Seeing this, Liver Fu Jian continued to understand something: "This is how the firebolt fires bullets, this kind of iron pipe, is it a huge firebolt?"
"Hmm!" Yi Yun said evilly, "This is called the Boom!" he opened his mouth and said nonsense, in a tone that was completely coaxing the child to play.
The mortars set up the iron pipe and aimed it carefully, in fact, it was not much of a sight, the mortar was a parabolic way to fire shells, because of the short range, so it was easy to aim, and the big one was optimistic about the direction to aim. As long as it is visually observed that the shells can fly over the city walls, there is no problem.
Everything was ready, and Iyun began to pretend again: "Ready?"
Hearing that Yi Yun was preparing in English, the mortars released their professions almost at the same time, and fifty blue flashing words "mortar" jumped into the air at once, looking very good.
In Fuso, the third-order blue profession can become a samurai, so these fifty mortars were instantly regarded as samurai masters by the Fusang miscellaneous soldiers, and those Fusang soldiers who were ordered to protect these fifty people couldn't help but think: "No wonder you want us five hundred people to protect them, it turns out that these fifty people are all samurai." ”
"Fire!" Iyun shouted the order to fire.
Almost at the same time, the mortars launched their skill: "Mortar!"
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Fifty mortars opened fire one after another, and the roaring sound of artillery rang out all at once.
At this time, it was only then that Liver Fu Kansue and Ito Yoshiyu suddenly realized: "It's the collapse of the country! Oh my God, it's a small big tube!"
I saw that the shells spit out from the mouth of the mortar had already flown in a parabola towards Kajigi Castle, and these shells first flew into the sky, and after flying upwards for a while, they began to fall downward, so they easily climbed over the city wall and fell into the interior of the castle, and then the shells exploded, and the iron balls and nails filled in the shells flew in all directions, and all the Shimazu soldiers near the landing point of the shells would be instantly knocked to the ground by these scattered shrapnel.
"Ahh In the face of such a novel thing as mortars, they were completely unprepared, and many soldiers were curious to watch the shells fall, and they didn't even know how to do the action of lying on the ground, and as a result, they were hit by shrapnel and covered with holes.
In fact, it was not only the Shimazu army that was stunned, but also the elbow army and the Ito army...... They had never seen such a magical thing, and it was amazing that they could defeat the enemy army inside through the city wall.
"Hey, I said what are you doing in a daze? Are you stupid?" Yi Yun scolded at the liver next to him, "My samurai helped you disrupt the enemy's defenders, and you still don't attack the city?"
"Oh, yes!" "Liver Fu Kanesu and Ito Yoshisuke came to their senses, the enemy in the city was beaten to the ground, we should take the opportunity to attack the city, the two looked at each other, and ordered loudly together: "The whole army ...... Siege!"
"Wait!" Yi Yun beckoned, "Don't let the soldiers climb the city with their paws, that's what monkeys do, come on...... I'll lend you a few ladders......"
Yi Yun sent an order to the rear army, and soon someone sent a few ladders over, not many, just five, which Yi Yun moved down from the ship, because he planned to bite people when he saw them, and he was worried that it would be difficult to attack the fortified city, so he brought a few ladders, but he didn't expect that he had no chance to use them, so he took them cheaply for the Fusang puppet army first. ...,
The ladder thing, as long as there is no problem with intelligence, it will still be used at a glance, and Ito Yoshiyu took a look, hey? The ladder can be built so long to climb the city wall, why didn't we think of it before?
The two of them hurriedly bowed to Yi Yun and thanked him, and then you have three, I have two, divide the ladder, and do it again: "The whole army...... Siege!"
The two of them thought that their men would have some casualties, but they didn't expect ...... The defenders of the city have been blinded by Yi Yun's fifty mortars, watching the shells keep falling from the sky, they are all so frightened that they all hide, and they don't dare to defend the city wall anymore, some people are in the house, some people have their heads stuck in the dog holes, and they come out with their butts exposed, where are there people defending by the city walls?
The Liver Fu Army and the Ito Army actually attacked the city wall without difficulty, and as they rushed forward, they also felt the continuous cannonballs overhead, falling into the city, making a roaring and violent explosion.
"It's so exciting!"
"It's so easy to fight like this!"
"We don't have to do any work anymore, the enemies in the city have been killed by all fifty samurai masters!"
"Hahaha!"
The morale of the Liver Fu Army and the Ito Army was greatly increased, and their excitement was simply indescribable. They rushed to the bottom of the city, set up a ladder on the wall, and climbed up happily, only to see that the city was in shambles, with rubble and broken bricks everywhere, and a large number of enemy soldiers lying on the ground, covered in blood.
"Smack!" There was a sound of firecrackers in the city, and it turned out to be an Shimazu army who had not been killed by a mortar and hid in the corner and put a gun down, knocking down an ashigaru of the Liver Fu family. The rest of the ashigaru suddenly became angry: "Yaga, dare to resist like this?"
A fierce group of ashigaru swooped up, surrounding the soldier who was scrambling to reload his second bullet, and stabbed with a flurry of spears......
Then came the ferocious street fighting, where the Shimazu Army's guns and archers were very effective when they relied on the strong walls to defend, but once they entered the close combat, the guns and archers were no match for the hand-to-hand combat profession, and soon, the remnants of the enemy were slaughtered by the Ashigaru of the Ito family and the Ito family.
The battlefield of the Fuso Warring States is generally not allowed to allow the enemy to surrender, and if you want to surrender, you can only surrender before the battle, the whole country or the city surrenders, which is no problem, but once the fight starts, either you die or I die, and you don't want to surrender troops, let alone generals, leaving only the people who surrendered, and sometimes even the people are killed.
This unique and cruel custom has continued until modern times, and in World War II, the Fuso Army was also famous for killing prisoners and was a famous executioner army. In fact, they not only killed prisoners, but also killed themselves, and once defeated, they did not need the enemy's hands, and usually cut their own stomachs.
So...... I don't need to say much about how miserable the Shimazu army in the city is, in short...... Rivers of blood. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
