Chapter 272
"Boom!"

The shells fired from the Franc machine gun rushed into the crowd holding the shields with great power, and then a ball of flames shot up into the sky, and the blood and stumps of the enemy scattered in all directions, covering the surrounding area. The ground is about ten feet.

And this was already the fifth "demolition team" destroyed by the artillery of Kasuga City.

Just as Bao'er, the big crow's mouth, said, Dazangjing put explosives into the siege battle shortly after the new round of offensive started at noon.At first, the artilleryman suddenly noticed a small group of about seven or eight people holding shields and shields, forming a circle and quickly approaching Spring City.

The artillerymen thought that some important person was going to approach Chunri City, so they fired a cannon at the small group of people in accordance with the working principle of "three shots if there is no date" passed down by the seniors on the ship.As a result, the scorching shells hit the powder kegs in the crowd, and these people died instantly.And their bombing completely exposed the intentions of the Dazangjing family, so the artillery in Kasuga Castle began to focus on greeting the enemy troops who were surrounded.

It's a pity that there is always a gap in the hundred secrets. When everyone focused on the team transporting the gunpowder, they didn't know that Zuqing had already secretly picked up the gunpowder barrel and rushed all the way to the wall of Chunri City.

Niemon, who was right above the gunpowder barrel, suddenly noticed that the enemies under his feet were fleeing desperately to the left and right.Niemon, who noticed the problem, suddenly remembered the huge explosion last night. He poked his head out of the city, just in time to see an ashigaru of the enemy army pouring black coal from a wooden barrel about one foot high. powder.

Niemon yelled at his companions, "Get out of here!"

Then, he pulled up Hikozo and Yisuke beside him, jumped from the city wall back to the courtyard of the outer city, and hid far away by rolling and crawling.Some people followed Niemon and jumped down, but others stayed on the wall without knowing why.

As a result, after a "boom", the rammed earth city wall collapsed, and the Ashigaru who hadn't had time to evacuate were covered by thick smoke and mud rising into the sky in an instant.The guy who is lucky can still leave a whole body. As for the guys closest to the explosion point, only the part of the body that is protected by the abdomen can be considered a whole body, and the other parts have long been a pile of finely minced meat. piece……

And after the loud noise, everyone inside and outside the city saw a huge gap about six feet wide that was blown out on the city wall.In just an instant, all the people who could move in and out of the city flocked to this gap like crazy!
"Long guns and iron artillery formations, others find opportunities to seal the gap with sandbags!"

With Bao'er's order, the formation of long spears and iron artillery that had been deliberately trained quickly formed and surrounded the gap.

At the same time, the enemies outside the city were also divided into two parts at this time, and most of the enemy troops formed a temporary confrontation with the defenders inside the city at the gap in the city wall.The remaining part of the enemy turned their heads and continued to climb up to the top of the city whose strength had been greatly reduced, preparing to join forces with the people outside the city to attack the defenders at the gap.

A certain samurai who climbed up to the top of the city in three or two steps held a spear, jumped from the top of the city into Kasuga Castle, and shouted at the defenders: "I am Sakuma Gonbei, you and other miscellaneous soldiers quickly push away, Which general dares to step forward and fight with me?"

"I'll fight your head!"

Bao'er swung a stick that was as fast as lightning, and hit Quan Bingwei's helmet before he could react.The stick directly caused his mouth and nose to bleed, and then he fell to the ground with a "plop". Seeing this, the surrounding defenders rushed forward to make up the knife.As a result, a fierce general who was well-known in Dazangjing's family died on the spot the second he climbed to the top of Kasuga Castle before he could make a single move...

"Damn it, what the hell are you talking about so much nonsense?" After cursing, Bao'er turned around and shouted: "Anyone who steps into my Spring City, you are not allowed to let anyone leave , be sure to wipe them out!"

"what!"

The artillerymen also aimed their muzzles at the gaps in the city wall. They fired one after another at the moment the enemy troops poured into the gaps, so several lines of blood visible to the naked eye appeared among the enemy troops.

Bao'er came to the artillery position again and asked the gunners if they had shotguns, but they shook their heads and told Bao'er that they didn't bring that thing when they came out.However, another gunner suggested that Boa could use the bullets used in matchlock guns instead of shotguns.

Soon after, Bao'er pulled a cannon cart weighing almost 500 kilograms to the gap in the city wall, and then brought two large buckets of lead bullets.After a busy meal, several artillerymen finally made a simple shotgun bag and stuffed it into the preloaded bullet nest.Then there was a "boom", and the enemy troops pouring into the gap fell to the ground like wheat cut by a sickle.Especially the group of people closest to the muzzle, they were all blasted into a hornet's nest by the dense projectiles...

The defenders who saw such a bloody scene were stunned, and the enemy soldiers who were lucky enough not to be shot were also stunned.In the next moment, the enemy troops who had just poured into the city fled frantically, fearing that they would not be able to avoid the gap.The defenders rushed forward and took the opportunity to kill all the enemy troops in the city!Yes, they always remember Bao'er's order - anyone who enters the city will be shot and killed!

However, after the next few rounds of tug-of-war, the gunpowder in Kasuga City finally ran out, and the Frang machine gun, which was a "big gap killer", became a big iron tuo weighing about 500 kilograms.But the good news is that Dazangjing's troops have not been able to take advantage of these rounds of offense and defense.

At sunset, the Okurai family, who had been unable to enter Kasuga Castle for a long time, had to ring the bell to retreat.The defenders in Kasuga City finally filled the gap in the wall with sandbags.Regardless of whether the sandbags were neatly piled up or not, at least the holes in the city wall were gone, and the soldiers in the city did not have to worry about the enemy pouring in through the gap for the time being.

Bao'er, who was half dead from exhaustion, leaned on the sandbag, raised his head and asked the people on the wall: "Hey, did those bastards really retreat more?"

"Retreat!" Ashgaru shouted happily: "They really retreated!"

But this time, no one on the ground cheered, because they didn't even have the strength to cheer.When they heard the final news of the enemy's retreat, all of them, like Bao'er, lay down on the ground on the spot, panting heavily.Then he laughed silly, to celebrate that he survived the hellish day.

When conducting post-war statistics, the casualties expected by everyone yesterday finally appeared!A total of 137 defenders in the city were killed, and 142 were determined unable to continue fighting due to injuries.Among the remaining 470 people, about 7% were slightly injured, 2% were slightly injured, and none were lucky enough to be injured.

The samurai who chatted with Bao'er last night was lucky. He was only stabbed by the enemy on his arm, and he was able to continue fighting after being bandaged.

As for the casualties on the Dazangjing side, although everyone knew that their casualties would be even more severe, no one cared about the Dazangjing family's affairs at this moment.

Because the intensity of today's war far exceeds everyone's imagination, gunpowder is exhausted, and iron cannons and artillery are reduced to decorations.Arrows consumed most of the inventory in just one afternoon.There was not much left in the arsenal except a few pebbles for throwing.

and so……

In the castle tower, Hyogo Assistant, who is in charge of logistics, announced with a calm face to everyone present:

"Everyone, if we don't think about it, we may not even be able to survive the battle tomorrow morning..."

……
