Domineering Daming

Most of the artillery fire of the Ming Dynasty was concentrated in the places where the shogunate troops were stationed. Although they were prepared, there were still large-scale casualties.

8 people were concentrated in one fortress, facing thousands of artillery pieces, they couldn't hide.

These are not important. The artillery fire of the Ming Dynasty seems to be scattered, but gradually there are signs, especially the granary in the south, the artillery fire is becoming more and more violent.

The guards at the door had withdrawn to the door, but there were still incendiary bombs exploding at the door, and sparks rushed into the door.

Chapter 1377

Inside the granary, several warriors looked at each other without moving.

They are all guarded shogunate samurai in front and back. They have cold expressions and hold knives in their hands. I don’t know how many people have tried to break into the granary to grab food in the past two days. Although they may not be spies of the Ming Dynasty, they were still ruthlessly killed. up.

The tall iron gate was closed tightly, and only the small window could see the outside.

Under a high concrete platform not far from the gate, there were more than a dozen people gathered. They seemed to be hiding from thunder and monitoring the various places, but they were actually staring at the warehouse.

With the sound of cannons, they rowed and communicated on the ground.

"Several windows are shut and can be blown open, we have gunpowder."

"The artillery will be concentrated soon. I got a truckload of kerosene. If I have a chance, push it in!"

"Those people inside are all strapped with gunpowder. At critical moments, they will rush in and explode themselves!"

"Other places will attract their attention, we must be fast here, there is only one chance!"

"First use kerosene to block the door, and then pour kerosene through the windows. They are not in a hurry, and they will all be burned!"

"Okay, let's do it like this. This granary is the largest. Once it burns down, the whole fortress can be seen. Tadatoshi Aoyama has to withdraw his troops if he doesn't!"

"Great, as long as Tadatoshi Aoyama is defeated, the shogunate will definitely have to negotiate peace, and the emperor's return to the throne is just around the corner!"

"Get ready, big things are just around the corner!"

A group of people gestured and rowed calmly, staring at the warehouse door with flickering eyes.

Sure enough, not long after, the artillery fire of the Ming army began to move from north to south, and began to bombard several granaries in a concentrated manner, focusing on the southernmost granary.

Cannonballs fell like raindrops, and the sound of the explosion was even more shocking. The terrifying vibration seemed to make the ground sink.

Not to mention the granary, even the dozen or so samurai who were hiding and loyal to the emperor were very uneasy, worried that they would die before they could leave the army.

Bombs and incendiary bombs came together, blowing up the granary beyond recognition, and the flames shot into the sky.

However, the granary was not burned. Even though the gate was deformed, it still firmly blocked the artillery fire from outside.

This time the bombing, the Ming army was extremely purposeful, like plowing the field, rolling across.

The warehouse in the south experienced the longest and most violent bombing, and the entire warehouse was enveloped in artillery fire.

Tadatoshi Aoyama was in his underground battle room, listening to the rumble of cannons, his face was iron-cold.

He hates and loves Daming's artillery.

This kind of weapon is simply invincible, and it will be very useful for attacking from several miles away, whether it is siege or field battle, let alone defending the city.

The shogunate tried their best to buy ships and artillery from Xiyi, but they still lost to the Ming Dynasty.They also wanted to obtain cannons and ships from the Ming Dynasty, but they failed to do so.

If they also have firearms like the Ming Dynasty, they still have to be so aggrieved, they can only be beaten!

"The shogunate must have such artillery!"

Qingshan Zhongjun roared in his heart, and his anger seemed to burn from within.

He is very clear that even if the shogunate wins this time, without such firearms, it will be a matter of time before they are defeated!

A vassal knelt behind him, with an equally unsightly expression, and said: "Dian, the Ming army's artillery fire was concentrated, and the destructive power was great. I don't know how many warriors were killed and houses burned. The morale of the army was greatly affected. I'm afraid those who want to The daimyo who are about to retreat will be shaken again..."

Qingshan Zhongjun looked at the trembling cup left on the table, slowly picked it up, and said, "Wait a few more days."

The retainer looked at Qingshan Zhongjun's back and frowned.Regarding the fact that Aoyama Tadatoshi pinned his hopes on Itakura Shigesho, he had different thoughts in his heart, but he also knew that this was the only way the shogunate could do.

Sure enough, as the vassals expected, seeing the increasing losses but being powerless to fight back, feeling aggrieved, they joined forces one after another, preparing to persuade Qingshan Zhongjun to withdraw his troops to the other side again.

At the same time, the artillery fire from the Nanda Granary gradually shifted, and the closed gate opened with difficulty. Some warriors rushed out and began to clean up, put out the fire, clean up, repair, etc., braving the scattered artillery fire, busy nervously.

The dozen or so people who were hiding looked at each other, nodded indifferently, and quickly moved away.

"Hurry up!"

At the gate of the warehouse, a warrior yelled loudly, directing the busy warriors to pack up quickly, lest the artillery of the Ming army come again.

"Dian, someone is blowing the windows!" Suddenly, a guard ran out from inside and shouted.

"More than one, several other windows have been blown open, they are pouring oil..." The other ran over and shouted anxiously.

The house governor was shocked immediately, and said in a deep voice: "Quick, stop it! Take people to kill, and leave no one behind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people rushed out of the door, rushing in several directions.

Before they could get there, several windows were on fire, and a group of warriors came in and out, watering them.

At this moment, a carriage rushed over.

The house governor was shocked and roared, "Stop him, stop him!"

A group of warriors drew their swords one after another, roaring and rushed over.

The people in the carriage covered their faces, and flicked their whips desperately. The horse roared, rushed forward, rushed away from the blocking people, and rushed straight into the warehouse gate!

The house governor got up from the ground and followed him with a roar: "Stop him, kill him!"

A group of samurai ran in, followed by a shout: "Long live the Emperor!"

Then, a huge explosion sounded, as if it was about to explode the big warehouse.

It didn't take long before the gate was in a mess, with thick smoke billowing and flames filling the air, making it impossible to enter or exit.

"Fire and fire!"

The house governor got up with blood on his face, roaring wildly with a ferocious face.

He is a retainer of the Qingshan family, knowing the importance of this warehouse, he almost went crazy.

The samurai under him, the samurai who came from the interrogation joined in, but there was kerosene all over the front and back, and puffs of thick smoke could not escape, and all came out from the gate.

This also made people unable to enter and exit. As time passed, blazing fire appeared in the thick smoke. The raging fire leaked out from the door and windows, turning this large warehouse into a huge fireball, no matter how difficult it was to deal with.
