Chapter 264 The Forward's Nightmare

Encouraged by the so-called "Sword Master", Kasuga City is united as one, and morale is at an all-time high.At this time, the iron gunners stationed on the walls of the outer city had already taken their positions. Apart from the one iron cannon in their hands, there were also four to five loaded iron cannons neatly placed beside them. The only difference was that Whether the match was lit or not.

On the school grounds of the military training center, the elderly and children who had taken refuge in the city were gathered here. Several warriors were teaching them how to put a certain amount of gunpowder particles into small bamboo tubes and how to stuff them with small paper balls. watching them.These small bamboo tubes, which are being filled with gunpowder, will be sent to the front lines of the outer city in the near future.There, there will be hundreds of villagers who have undergone professional loading training and will be responsible for filling the iron cannon full-time.

And on a sloping field behind the outer city, eight 6-pound Francophone cannons were fanned out on the flat ground temporarily built with sandbags.Regardless of the small caliber of this thing, the maximum range is less than two miles. In Dongbao's fleet, it only exists as a secondary weapon on the battleship.But on the battlefield at this time, it has become Kasuga's most effective long-range rapid-fire weapon!

As long as the opponent's general dares to enter within a radius of one mile of Kasuga City, these gunners who disembarked from the Millennium Falcon dare to greet them with iron lumps with a diameter of about 5 inches at a rate of fire of more than 2 rounds per minute. !

It can be said that at this moment, everyone in Kasuga City is holding their breath, waiting for the moment when the battle begins to give the Ozurai family a head-on blow that is enough to make them unforgettable forever!
But contrary to the high-spirited sergeants, the Nohara couple's interest was not high at all.They stood on the watchtower in the area connecting the inner and outer cities, looking at the dark Dazangjing army formation in the distance, feeling more and more uneasy.

Xiaoxin asked his father curiously, "Is there a celebration going on in the distance?"

"It would be great if this is the case..." Hiroshi looked serious, because he couldn't figure out how Kasuga Castle defeated Ozurai Takatora anyway.As far as the current situation is concerned, Hiroshi has absolutely no hope of victory for his side.

……

On the hills in the distance, Dazangjing Gaohu's main formation is located.

The Mahui warriors in red armor rolled up the mantle of the main formation, and dressed in a gleaming Nanman-style Gao Hu, holding a military fan (the plantain fan used to command the military formation), and slowly walked out of the main formation.

"Okay!" Gao Hu, who obviously lacked sleep, raised his military equipment and shouted: "Start the battle and prepare to attack!"

With the fall of the military equipment in Gao Hu's hands, the messengers in the formation finally blew the conch horn to attack.The general of the vanguard army also ordered the whole army to attack, and the army all moved towards the direction of Chunri City and surrounded them.

Just as Bao'er and Matabei had guessed last night, Da Zangjing's first attack was in the posture of a general attack, and he had no intention of probing the attack at all.And at the rear of the army, dozens of ashigaru were pulling a three-foot-high watchtower cart, slowly moving towards the main gate of Kasuga Castle.

Bao'er, who was standing on the city wall, pointed to the watchtower car in the distance, and said with Matabei: "That thing must be destroyed. I'm afraid they will throw it down and smash it on the city wall. The effort of building bridges and leveling trenches can be saved.”

"What can you do?" Matabei asked.

"How..." Bao'er's eyes lit up, and he hammered his hand and said, "Leave it to me!" After finishing speaking, he quickly ran to the "artillery position" behind him.

Seeing Da Zangjing's army gradually approaching, the guard who stayed on the city wall immediately gave an order: "Everyone, listen to me! No one is allowed to shoot without your captain's order to shoot."

Seeing that the advance speed of the opponent's forward troops was getting faster and faster, the captains of each iron artillery team also gave orders to check the matchlocks.At the same time, the farmers who were responsible for assembling the bullets and delivering the muskets for the iron cannon also offered a piece of lit charcoal to each member of the iron cannon team.This charcoal was used to light the match for them to extinguish the fire.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Dazangjing family took the lead in launching a round of suppressive shots, but unfortunately they were too far away, and when the bullets flew to Kasuga City, they didn't even have the strength to scratch people's skin.Some daring ashigaru even put their helmeted heads out of the shooting stack to hit the projectiles.Then they can hear a series of crisp "jingling" sounds, and a burst of laughter behind them.

"Hey!" Niemon yelled at Ashgaru who stuck his head out and took the initiative to be beaten: "You guys! Give me enough!"

But these guys didn't care, and one of them even grabbed a bullet with his bare hands and showed it to Niemon and Matabei.Youbei could only sigh that these guys were so calm in the face of such a powerful enemy, he shook his head with a smile, and cast his eyes on Bao'er who was stationed in the artillery position.I thought to myself that this guy always exudes a faint cohesion that unites people together.

When Mabei turned his head again, Da Zangjing's striker had already entered the effective killing range of the iron cannon.However, Yubei still did not intend to let the Iron Cannon troops fire, because the distance was still too far, and the damage they dealt was not enough to be scary.So he immediately decided: "Come closer! When they climb over the guardrail of the moat, shoot and attack!"

The captains of the iron cannon team nodded one after another, and told their subordinates to be patient, and only waited for their order to launch a thunderous blow to the forward troops of Dazangjing!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Three bells representing the charge rang, and everyone in Kasuga's family saw that the enemy army on the opposite side really charged up this time, shouting crazily and rushing towards the outer city of Kasuga.

"Get ready! Raise your guns!" The captains of the iron cannon team took the lead and ordered to raise their iron cannons, aiming their guns at the first batch of enemy troops approaching the moat.

The forwards of Ozangjing's family were also wondering why they had already rushed so close to Kasuga Castle, but the opponent's iron cannons hadn't run and fired it for a long time?It's a pity that as soon as the person who thought so touched the guardrail of the moat and tried to move it down, the gunfire of the Kasuga City defenders finally rang out!

"Fire!"

Dozens of iron cannon captains also pulled the trigger under their fingers while giving the order.Under the impetus of the gunpowder gas, the projectile that came out of the chamber had an intimate contact with the striker of Ozangjing's family in an instant.The metal projectiles easily tore through their armor and penetrated into their bodies.

The enemy soldiers who were shot in the torso only felt as if their bodies had been hit by a small hammer, but then they found that they suddenly lost their strength, and then they collapsed on the ground as soon as their bodies went limp.

After the first round of salvo by Kasuga defenders, half of the enemies shot by them fell to the ground and lost their ability to fight. The other half had better luck, did not suffer any fatal injuries, and still persisted in Asaharuhi The city launched an attack.

Seeing that the large-scale volley of Kasuga's defenders had already been fired, the striker of Ozangai thought that it would be impossible for mere Kasuga Oguni to pull out another iron cannon and shoot us a round of volley, right?Ozurai Takatora-sama is so rich that he owns only 1000 iron cannons. What about Kasuga Kingdom?You won't have 2000 iron cannons, will you?

It's a pity, Kasuga Kingdom really exists!

So, at the moment after the first salvo of iron cannons, when the stormtroopers of Ozurai's family were about to launch a strong attack on Kasuga's castle, the iron cannons of Kasuga country poked out from behind the firing pile again. come out……

"Listen to my order and start free shooting immediately! Try to hit with one hit and don't waste ammunition."

The nightmare of the Ozurai family's vanguard troops begins here!
