Yang Chengying encountered a small problem.

The horses of the Japanese kingdom are not good.

Due to the fact that the farrier skills of the Wa Kingdom had not been developed in ancient times, the horses of the Wa Kingdom were generally made of straw.

If you want to drag a heavyweight cannon with their pulling force, you need to add a few more horses.

That is, there are not enough horses.

"You go and tell Matsudaira Nobutsuna to bring in a few more horses."

Yang Chengying commanded Zu Zepei.

Zu Zepei answered "yes", turned around and left.

After a long time, twenty horses were reluctantly emphasized.

Each horse is flanked by a samurai, who appears to be the owner of the horse.

Yang Chengying instructed the warriors to tie the horses together with ropes, and the other end of the rope was tied to the gun carriage around the mast.

With his command, the horses pulled the rope together and pulled the cannon out of the cabin.

In terms of design, the bird ship was different from the sail battleships of the Western Ocean.

The cabins of the sail battleships were below deck, and one of the cabins of the bird ships was above deck, and they were beautifully carved to resemble a house on land.

Kamui Invincible's cannon is hidden in these houses.

Yang Chengying brought out six doors this time, three of which were allocated to Shang Kexi, in case the Netherlands repented and refused to give up the land, he would bombard his mother with cannons.

The remaining three doors are housed in the cabin of the Big Bird Boat, and they have been well maintained.

When the cannon was pulled out of the cabin, it stopped pulling. Untie the rope, go around the mast and tie it again.

Dragged again, the cannon left the hull with the wide planks and went to the ground.

The samurai almost shook their heads when they saw such a cannon made of pure iron, but they had never seen it before.

It's no wonder that they haven't seen the world, this cannon is rarely seen even in the Liaodong Army.

This is the second-generation Shenwei Invincible General Cannon developed by Yang Chengying based on the existing technology.

It is a large-caliber heavy artillery that specializes in siege operations. It used a fixed ammunition, high yellow powder.

Of course, the cannons made with the current technology cannot be compared with the large-caliber heavy artillery of the 19th century.

So take a smoothbore, not a rifle.

The rifling of the rifling is smoothed out too quickly, and the service life of the smoothbore is not as long.

Three heavy guns were pulled out of the cabin, and one cannon was dragged by ten horses, dragging the heavy guns to the front.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna and the others, who were staying in the camp, heard that Yang Chengying had brought in a cannon that they had never seen before, and they suddenly became curious.

Regardless of his status as a general, he rushed to the scene with the daimyo who participated in the battle.

Everyone watched from afar, exchanged heads and talked about each other.

Three heavy guns lined up in a long line.

Yang Chengying was using the artillery mirror to adjust Zhu Yuan, and another artillery was measuring the wind speed, using paper and pen to calculate the elevation angle of the shot.

The rest of the artillery dug trenches, and the shells were carried by the shells......

"Artillery in position!"

With the order of the artillery company commander, several gunners quickly stepped forward to stay in the designated position.

"Shooting angle ......"

Yang Chengying told the data one by one, and the gunner turned the two roulette wheels to adjust the angle and direction of the heavy artillery's firing.

The artilleryman who measures the wind speed informs the wind direction and speed.

Everything was ready, and Yang Chengying left temporarily with the artillery mirror.

The artillery mirror is a treasure.

He looked back, good guys, this group of daimyos is almost here.

It turned out that the more Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked, the more curious he became, and he unconsciously moved forward. As soon as he moved, the others followed.

The common people gathered little by little as if they were looking at the Western scenery.

"Stand back with me, this is not for you."

Yang Chengying said as he took the lead in the opposite direction of the cannon, away from the heavy artillery.

Although Matsudaira Nobutsuna was still unsatisfied, he still followed.

As soon as he left, the big names who were reluctant to give up could only follow.

When the artillery company commander saw them walking away, he waved the flag in his hand and ordered the artillery to be fired.

Rumble......!

"Lei Gong is angry."

The samurai were terrified.

The soldiers panicked, and the horses neighed.

It wasn't thunder, it was heavy artillery fire.

For the first time, it hit the moat in front of the castle and smashed up several feet of water.

The second time it smashed into the back of the castle, it seemed to blow up the house, and the wood and stone collapsed.

The third time the cannon was fired, it directly hit the target - the city wall.

The efforts of several generations of the so-called Arima family were wiped out in the face of heavy artillery.

The stones that built the wall shattered instantly, or flew with dust, or rolled down the slope and into the water.

There were panicked shouts and shouts from inside the city, presumably trying to stabilize the situation.

These are not worth mentioning in the face of heavy artillery.

Fifteen rounds of artillery bombardment blasted huge gaps in the fortified city walls, and one large pit after another was in the ground.

"It's time to attack!"

Yang Chengying looked at Matsudaira Nobutsuna, who was still in shock.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna half-resounded back to his senses and issued the order to attack.

The terrified shogunate army and the soldiers of the daimyo, stubbornly and squeakingly, charged the ruined castle.

Yang Chengying commanded the soldiers and re-dragged the heavy artillery back to the big bird boat with horses.

During this period, the boat was also transferred once to facilitate the towing of the cannon into the cabin.

When I returned to the flagship, I saw Deyin holding a telescope with a surprised face.

"What's wrong? The heavy artillery is too powerful and scares you? ”

Yang Chengying asked with concern.

"No, it's not." Deyin put down the binoculars and turned his head to look at him: "It is said that the Japanese are extremely cruel, and it turns out that they are also cruel to their own people." ”

Yang Chengying knew that it must be Matsudaira Nobutsuna who commanded his men to slaughter the city.

Even if it is a modern army, except for one in the world, it is almost like a thief with military discipline.

Not to mention antiquity.

And the people of the city were traitors in the eyes of the rulers.

Yang Chengying took a deep breath, and then said, "Don't look at Deyin, let's pack up and prepare to go back." ”

"Go back? Where to go? She didn't react for a moment.

"Of course, it's back to Liaodong."

Yang Chengying said: "The matter here has been almost dealt with, and it is time to take advantage of the prevailing summer monsoon to return to Liaodong." ”

This time, it defeated the Dutch, forced Spain and the Netherlands to spit out Chicken Coop Island, and made Portugal move out of Macau, and reached several agreements with the shogunate.

In addition, Yang Chengying also took the opportunity to get to the port, which was the forward base.

It can be said that it has gained a lot and achieved its strategic purpose.

The rest of the trivial matters will be handed over to Shang Kexi and Zu Zeyuan to work hard, and they have to give their subordinates a chance to experience.

Hearing that Yang Chengying was leaving, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was really relieved, and he was also worried that Yang Chengying, who had a big killing weapon, would take the opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price.

So, he sent Yang Chengying some grain, grass and supplies, and promised that all expenses would be delivered by hand within three months.

"The rest of the matter will be handled by Zheng Zhilong, and I won't get involved."

Yang Chengying said: "There is no strong residence in the territory of the Kumamoto Domain, so it should be easy for you to deal with it. ”

They were all dismantled by the shogunate by all means.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna bowed slightly and thanked: "King Zhou Houde, it is unforgettable." ”

"Farewell!"

As the sails were hoisted, the ship quickly broke away from the dock and sailed into the distance.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna waved his hand and muttered in a low voice, "I hope this person's ambition stops there, otherwise the shogunate will encounter a catastrophe." ”
