They fought endlessly, but after working for a long time, they didn't even hurt each other's hair! The Ming artillery at the foot of the mountain only nervous when they first fired, and when they saw that the nearest lead bullet had fallen dozens of paces away, they were relieved and began to readjust the gun position!

Under the command of the officer, all the guns were prepared according to the angle of the sixth gun and then fired again. This time, the trajectory of the shell was significantly lowered, and the two guns on both sides each accurately hit the lower half of the wall.

The huge impact force made the wall tremble violently, and there was even an unsteady iron cannon Ashigaru who fell off the wall! But the wall stubbornly withstood the impact! As for the two cannons in the middle, there is no doubt that two more big holes have been opened in the wooden gate, and even everyone can see the panicked figures of the Japanese soldiers swaying back and forth from this doorway!

Seeing that the shells landed exactly what they needed, the artillery officer immediately ordered the soldiers to continue to reload the artillery and fire, without even fine-tuning! Anyway, these guns are smoothbore guns, and the landing point is different after each shot, so you don't have to worry about the artillery hitting the same place repeatedly!

Just as the officer guessed, after two rounds of firing from several six guns, the left door of the middle gate collapsed! The soldiers cheered loudly when they saw this, but they still did not intend to order a charge, but continued to let the artillery attack, apparently intending to completely destroy this section of the wall!

The Ming army bombarded the wall here unhurriedly, and it couldn't last long to see the wall crumbling! But the unfortunate thing was that some Japanese soldiers were sent to strengthen the wall and block the main entrance, but there were still two artillery guns at the main gate that were constantly bombarded, and the first group of people rushed up with wooden planks, but they were smashed by the artillery company with wooden planks, and no one dared to come forward after that!

Just when the samurai drew his sword and forced a team of ashigaru to step forward again with masonry and stone, only to hear a "boom", and the wall on the right side of the gate finally collapsed completely when it couldn't support it, and it collapsed more than a foot long! The ashigaru standing on the wall jumped away before the wall collapsed, and the slower ones were buried in the brick pile! Even the door frame with the gate was torn down, and now the door is completely open!

Yoshihiro Shimazu, who was standing behind the railing, was shocked and angry when he saw this scene! He slapped the railing hard before he shouted, "Withdraw all the people in front of you, and get the men of the archery team ready!"

The iron cannon Ashigaru who received the order quickly retreated in disgrace, and the Ming army on the opposite side saw that the other party had retreated, so they happily dug the artillery out of the soil and carried it to the mountain on their shoulders.

Seeing this scene, Shimazu Yoshihiro really can't wait for the mountain under his feet to suddenly grow a little taller! However, he still seemed to be very dependent, and stood at the railing with the same expression. With him standing here, the other widows are also in a much calmer mood. At least the morale of the depressed city that lost two walls in succession did not fall again!

The Ming army below quickly rushed to the place where the city wall had collapsed, and they quickly cleared the masonry with their hands and feet, preparing to meet the troops behind. At the same time, the artillerymen began to dig pits in place, preparing to bombard the third wall according to the gourd drawing.

They all felt that as long as the artillery sounded, the opponent's low city wall would definitely not be able to hold it, and when the time came, they would win the battle if they rushed up, so they laughed and laughed one by one, full of confidence!

When more and more soldiers gathered near the gap, and the artillery was transported to the vicinity of the gap with difficulty, Shimazu Yoshihiro sneered and said, "The order archery team can do it!"

The samurai beside him vigorously agreed and ran down the castle tower, saying to the archers gathered below, "Throw with all your might! We must teach the Ming army a lesson!"

The samurai who led the bow team also agreed, and quickly ordered the soldiers to start drawing their bows and arrows. Then the archers standing behind the wall raised their bows high and pointed them into the sky, shooting batch after batch of feathered arrows!

The arrows flew high into the air and then slowly turned around and fell until the highest point, pointing directly at the gap in the second wall. And there the Ming artillery was busy arranging positions, the infantry was clearing the perimeter, and there was a steady stream of firecrackers coming up from below to assemble at the gap and flat ground.

Just as they were about to use this place as a starting position, a large number of feathered arrows fell from the sky.

The person who shoots at once is on his back! And what's even more terrifying is that the falling feather arrows are continuous!

Shimazu Yoshihisa left 400 soldiers to Tsuru before the war, of which 100 were samurai and elite ashigaru, 100 were ordinary ashigaru, and the remaining 200 were half of the iron cannon ashigaru and half of the archery.

In addition, it turned out that dozens of guards of Tsuru no Maru would use bows and arrows, which means that now there are almost two hundred archers throwing outwards, so the density of feather arrows is very high, and the continuity is also very high!

However, if it is only a civil official's bow and arrow, the lethality is not great, but this problem lies in the terrain! These archers are behind the third wall relying on the command of the officer to shoot, there is a difference between the two walls, plus they are deliberately throwing into the air, so when those feather arrows fall, under the effect of gravitational acceleration, they become extremely lethal!

What's even worse is that the distance that Tsuru no Maru accurately calculated during the design of the year, if he was thrown at a high altitude here at the third wall, the landing point of the feather arrow happened to be here at the second wall! The second wall is a defensive tool and a ruler at the same time!

This is also the reason why Shimazu Yoshihiro placed the iron cannon ashigaru in the second wall. Because iron cannons can't be thrown! A projectile of lead bullet is no different from throwing a stone after losing its propulsion, and hitting a person's head is at most a lump, while a feather arrow can increase its lethality with the help of gravity!

Moreover, the iron cannon can only shoot straight forward, and the feather arrows thrown by the bow and arrow at a fixed angle on the top of the mountain will definitely fall in front of and behind the wall, and the angle of the feather arrows falling from the sky is almost vertical, so even if people hide behind the wall, they are easy to be injured by the feather arrows falling from the sky! Only soldiers clinging to the wall can truly survive! .

The dense feathered arrows fell round after round, causing huge damage to the musketeers and artillerymen gathered here! In the first round of feather arrows, more than 30 people fell to the ground with arrows! Fortunately, these soldiers reacted fairly quickly, and they all dispersed quickly, greatly reducing the lethality of the second round of feather arrows.
