Chapter 267: This is a delaying tactic
Sitting on the port of Hirado, he took the initiative to contact the Great Yen Kingdom and the Nanban maritime merchants to trade, colluded with the Japanese pirates to earn wealth, raised eight or nine hundred samurai, and became the strongest daimyo on Kyushu Island......
The efforts of the Matsuura family for many years disappeared with the roar of the flying thunder cannon along with the castle tower.
Different from what the world has seen, the gunpowder packets fired by the Flying Thunder Cannon are far more powerful than what the eye can observe!
Everyone only saw the castle tower disappear, but they didn't know that there was not even a single living person left in the tallest building in Hirado Castle that was hit by the lightning cannon!
Even, Zhao Hengyi suspects that with the architectural standards of the Wa Kingdom, that pavilion may not be far from completely collapsed by the shock wave.
As for the shooting angle calculated by Wang Erhu, nine out of ten shots, now it seems that the gunpowder bag that did not hit the castle tower is very likely to cause more damage!
As soon as the flying thunder cannon was fired, the people who were now looking around were lively, whether it was maritime merchants from various countries or merchants who operated shops in Hirado Town, and they were suddenly refreshed.
In this era when the theory of ghosts and gods is popular, the terrifying power of thermal weapons is irreversibly classified as the means of ghosts and gods.
This also casts a veil of mystery over the Qiongzhou group training, and as the word of mouth spreads to these merchants who gathered near Hirado Castle, it will soon become famous throughout Kyushu Island, and even spread to the entire Wakoku country.
After a salvo of flying thunder artillery, Zhao Hengyi personally ordered that the Azi battalion continue to advance towards Hirado Castle on the gentle slope, and the flying thunder cannon aimed at the gate of Hirado Castle, and once the city is broken, street battles will begin!
The battalion that had already inserted its bayonet into the tip of its spear, in the shrill whistle and Zhang Can's high-pitched command, was like a group of monsters carved in rock, silently stepping forward, maintaining the queue, and slowly advancing.
Suddenly, the gates of Hirado Castle were voluntarily opened, and the samurai of the Matsuura family swarmed out!
Zhao Hengyi's eyelids jumped, these Japanese people are still very courageous, the first time they encountered the dimensionality reduction blow of thermal weapons, instead of collapsing, they took the initiative to open the city gate and chose to confront it head-on, but they also lined up in a line, what do they want to do...... Belch!
Rao is Zhao Hengyi is not what it used to be, and he has seen a lot of big scenes, but the next behavior of the people of the Songpu family still makes him cry and laugh.
Those guys who came out of the city gate, under the leadership of the family governor Matsuura Wansheng, knelt down in front of the city gate together, and threw themselves to the ground one by one, which he aimed at, obviously surrendered!
Now, it's a bit difficult to do!
According to Zhao Hengyi's original plan, the Matsuura family will not leave a living.
Not to mention that there are good people in this Hirado Castle, the lady of the Takeshoin Temple is famous for her beauty, gentleness and kindness, and this Matsuura family colluded with the Japanese pirates, whether they personally committed evil or not, the rich life they enjoyed was stained with the blood of innocent people!
If there really were ghosts and gods, I am afraid that the unjust souls of the people of Dayan Province who were brutally killed by the Japanese in the southeast coastal area would not let go of the Lady of Takeshengin who had many Hirado Town merchants crying for her in a low voice, right?
After enjoying the good life brought by the thief, you must have the consciousness to pay the price.
Now the Matsuura family's samurai, big and small officials, under the leadership of the family governor Matsuura Mansheng, have surrendered so well that they know the times, and they are really able to bend and stretch!
Even Matsuura Mankatsu's most beloved mother, Mrs. Takeshengin, who was kept alone in the castle tower and often visited, disappeared in the salvo of flying thunder cannons just now, and the other characters were killed and injured a lot, in the face of such a tragic situation, the other party, as one of the most powerful daimyo in Kyushu, bowed his head Shengsheng, gave in, and took the initiative to open the city and surrender...... A chill ran through Zhao Hengyi's heart.
If these Japanese people are convinced, Zhao Hengyi doesn't believe it, and he is not a three-year-old child, is it so easy to be deceived?
The reason why the other party made such a choice was nothing more than that he felt that he could not resist the Qiongzhou group training of fire guns and flying thunder cannons, so he had no choice but to gamble.
Matsuura Mansheng is gambling that Zhao Hengyi will not kill the daimyo who surrendered!
After all, this is the Qiongzhou regimental training, and it is the first battle of Zhao Hengyi, the general of Jinghai, in the Wa Kingdom, if he doesn't even let go of the surrendered daimyo...... So no matter who Zhao Hengyi wants to deal with in the future, the other party will inevitably choose to fight to the end!
This idea is not wrong in the first place, in this era of trumpeting righteousness while being subdued, reputation is still very important to the daimyo, even if in fact, what they do will cause a popular uprising in a minute if they dare to put it in the already decaying Great Yan Kingdom, it can't stop these guys from claiming to be righteous and reasonable.
At the same time, Zhao Hengyi appeared outside Hirado Castle, using the official identity of the general of the Great Yan State Jinghai.
Once you do it too much, there will be trouble, and this special meow is an international dispute!
The Great Yan Kingdom is no longer the Great Yan Kingdom of one or two hundred years ago, and the dignity of the Heavenly Empire has long been gone.
As the Japanese who like to bully the weak the most, they have long not taken the Great Yan Kingdom in their eyes, and the so-called tribute has also stopped for many years, on the grounds that the royal family of the Japanese Kingdom does not have the strength to go to sea.
As the governor of the Matsuura family, Matsuura Mansheng knew the real situation of the Great Yan Kingdom, so he felt that according to the temperament of the officials of the Great Yan Kingdom, the general Jinghai who didn't know where he came from would definitely not dare to kill a Japanese daimyo who had surrendered!
If Matsuura Wansheng knew that Zhao Hengyi had simply killed a civilian official with an identity like the Qiongzhou regimental training envoy, who was not even an official position, he might not have surrendered so easily......
After waking up and coming to the Matsuura family, Zhao Hengyi was stunned for a short moment.
Even in his heart, he felt that it was difficult to do, but it was only for a moment.
There is nothing to do in this world!
It's hard, but it has to be done!
"Erhu, give an order, let Zhang Can and them not be stunned, this is the enemy's delaying tactic, let go from afar, don't give these Japanese people a chance to get close!"
Isn't it just killing prisoners? I'm sorry, Ben Hou was used to it when he was in Yonggu City!
"Proprietor, wait a minute!"
Zhou Yonglin, who had been following behind Zhao Hengyi and was not very accustomed to the bloody scene in front of him, suddenly spoke up.
Zhao Hengyi's face immediately sank!
Isn't this old Zhou Mo stupid at reading, above the battle array, you are so cold that you still think about the benevolence of women?
"Proprietor, this kind of killing and surrendering is not in line with your current identity after all...... It's better to let the students go, so as to make a reputation for prestige! ”
Lao Zhou, yes!
Zhou Yonglin's words that surprised everyone made Zhao Hengyi look at him differently!
Even Wang Erhu, who had just secretly rolled his eyes on the side, was shocked!
When did Master Zhou become so brave?
"The A-word battalion listens to the order, and on the orders of the proprietor, Zhou is temporarily acting as the commander!"
Although Zhou Yonglin's legs were a little weak, his voice was a little trembling, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were shaking, but the words he shouted out when he tore his throat were clearly spread throughout the battlefield, "Zhou Mou believes that the Songpu family harbored the Japanese and set a trap with the intention of plotting the brothers, everyone in the Azi Battalion, shoot freely!" ”
The roar of the firebolt exploded again, and the retainers of the Matsuura family outside Hirado Castle suddenly got up from the ground in a hurry and fled towards the wide open gate......
"Battalion A, charge!"
Zhou Yonglin's mournful shout actually suppressed the roar of the firebolt...... It seems that the potential of human beings is really limitless.
