- October 26, the eleventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty.
Tsurumaru Castle.
Countless artillery pieces have been lined up in a row, and the artillery fire is eyeing the city where the Shimazu family lives.
Ding Yunyi is seriously injured, and the person commanding here is Ding Yunyi's favorite general Huangfu Yunjie.
The autumn wind is blowing, and the fighting spirit is strong.
Everything on the battlefield sounds so quiet
Mitsuhisa Shimazu pulled up almost all the defensive forces. Although he suffered repeated defeats and even the sword master Miyamoto Musashi died at the hands of Ding Yunyi, Mitsuhisa Shimazu was never willing to give up!
Countless war flags of the Ming Dynasty are flying in the wind!
Huangfu Yunjie slowly raised the knife in his handand the flag bearer in the flag stand also slowly raised the flag in his hand
When Huangfu Yunjie's sword fell, the big flag also swung with force
"Let it go!" "Let it go!" "Let it go!"
Such calls came from the mouths of the officers, and the roar of the artillery also sounded at this moment!
On October 26, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Huben Guards bombarded Tsurumaru City!
The attack and defense of Tsurumaru Castle breaks out!
The artillery opened its ferocious mouth and smashed the shells one by one into Tsurumaru Castle with a roar of vengeance.
This is the first time that Huben Guards has used artillery on such a scale to conduct a siege since its establishment. The roar of more than two hundred artillery pieces of various types made Tsurumaru Castle tremble.
Actually, from Ding Yunyi¡¯s point of view, such bombardment is still not perfect.
There are all types of artillery here. It almost covers the No. 1 to No. 5 guns of the Huben Guards, used for ships, defense, and sieges. There are all kinds of things. In Ding Yunyi's vision, every cannon has its own position.
but. It's not possible to do this yet
Although Ding Yunyi was not satisfied, the scene of so many artillery roaring at the same time was spectacular enough!
Cannonballs continued to fall on and under Tsurumaru Castle, erupting with earth-shaking roars, causing fire and smoke to shroud everything in Tsurumaru Castle
¡°Tsurumaru Castle is trembling, and the earth is trembling. The Japanese are shaking
Tsurumaru Castle also has iron cannons, but they cannot compare with the cannons of Tiger Guard in terms of quantity and quality. The General's Office issued a prohibition order, which brought Japanese firearms to a standstill. Shimadzu's firearms. Except for some of the new firearms secretly purchased from Tanegashima, the rest were left behind many years ago.
Such firearms simply cannot compete with the Ming army¡¯s firearms!
Although the artillery fire of the Ming army could not destroy Tsurumaru Castle at once, it could continue to attack Tsurumaru Castle. Weaken the city defense of Tsurumaru Castle and weaken the determination of the Japanese in the city to resist!
The artillery fire was deafening, and Ding Yunyi, who was recovering from his injuries in the military camp, couldn't lie down.
"Duan San, help me go out and have a look" Ding Yunyi called his cronies in.
Duan San'er didn't try to persuade him, and even if he tried to persuade him, the mayor wouldn't listen.
When Ding Yunyi walked out of the military camp with the support of Duan Saner, what he saw was the most shocking scene:
The artillery roared and shells flew in the air. Drawing a wonderful arc, one by one fell onto the enemy's tower.
The flames soaring into the sky are the most gorgeous scene on the battlefield; the roar of the cannon is a cheerful song on the battlefield
The soldiers of the Ming Army were running back and forth, constantly transporting the shells up, loading the shells into the muzzles, and then "gifting" these shells to the Japanese.
On the tower, the Japanese were running around in panic, constantly dodging shell attacks. Constantly putting out the fires burning everywhere
Magnificent, magnificent!
Ding Yunyi showed a comfortable smile on his face.
"Sir" Duan San'er said on the side: "I heard that all the famous generals in the past and present, no matter what happened, are always calm and composed, even if the mountain collapses, they will not change their expressions, but Why do you look like you can't sit still when you hear the sound of cannons?"
Ding Yunyi laughed "haha": "How can there be so many famous generals in the world who don't change their expressions even if Mount Tai collapses in front of them? If so, it seems that I can't be such a famous general Wait a minute, thousands of miles away Bring me the mirror"
He took the telescope and looked in the direction of Tsurumaru Castle. After a long time, he put it down and said, "Ask Huangfu Yunjie to come see me immediately."
When Huangfu Yunjie arrived, Ding Yunyi pointed at Hewan City and said, "Huangfu, look at the west tower. It's a cannon."It's a blind spot, but it's bustling with people and people are constantly coming and going. Why do you think this is? "
"I noticed it just now." Huangfu Yunjie said: "If my guess is correct, this must be the Japanese bandit's preparation for a night attack."
Ding Yunyi smiled: "Generally, there are several situations in sneak attacks. One is a long-distance attack and the soldiers are tired; the other is a big victory and slackness; the third is a big defeat and dejection. But now we don't have any of these three situations. Japanese pirates But they were eager to prepare for a sneak attack on the first day after the bombardment. Why do you think this is?"
"Japanese bandits have no good generals." Huangfu Yunjie replied smoothly.
"I don't think so." Ding Yunyi pondered for a while: "I think it should be the continuous failures before and the murder of Miyamoto Musashi that have brought the morale of Tsurumaru City to the bottom. Shimazu Mitsuhisa must need a Victory will boost the morale of Tsurumaru Castle Huangfu, increase the intensity of the artillery bombardment, and at the same time make full preparations to guard against night attacks"
"Yes, if you discipline those Japanese thieves, there will be no return!"
"Boom - boom -" the sound of artillery sounded again, this is the majestic movement played by the Ming army
?¡
Shimazu Mitsuhisa's face was solemn, standing there, regardless of the danger, staring at the busy subordinates.
He never thought that Miyamoto Musashi, who he had high hopes for, would die so miserably in the hands of Ding Yunyi. And the huge blow this incident brought to Tsurumaru City was something he had never imagined before
Countless people witnessed the death of Miyamoto Musashi. If the previous consecutive failures could still be explained as tactical needs, then there was no excuse this time.
We must do everything we can to reverse this situation
Oshima Heisaburo stood in front of him.
"Heisaburo. Are the night attack team ready?"
"Yes, ready."
"Are you sure of victory?"
The Governor's question made Oshima Heisaburo silent for a moment: "Master Governor, my surprise attack team failed and my reputation was humiliated. I will definitely wash away my shame this time."
"Not just to wash away my own shame." Shimazu Mitsuhisa sighed: "I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty people would actually mobilize so many iron cannons. If they were allowed to continue bombarding like this, Tsurumaru Castle would not be able to hold on for long. Now, casualties are increasing every moment, and the city walls are shaking under enemy fire. I need you to win at all costs!"
"Hai!"
"Heisaburo!" Mitsuhisa Shimazu raised his voice: "Attack with the determination to die!"
"Hai!"
?¡
The shelling lasted for half a day.
The battlefield was filled with smoke. When the terrible bombardment finally stopped, the Ming army did not attack.
Now is not the best time to capture Tsurumaru Castle. They need to use continuous bombardment to wear down the Japanese's determination to resist bit by bit, and then capture the Shimazu family's home city at the minimum cost.
When the sound of artillery finally stopped, the Japanese in Tsurumaru City breathed a long sigh of relief. In this bombardment, too many unprepared people died.
And the city wall barely withstood the bombardment
They hurriedly collected the bodies of the victims. The damaged city walls were being repaired in a hurry, and God knew when the next bombardment would come.
And the Tiger Guard soldiers on the battlefield are also organizing things in an orderly manner
Night gradually fell, and the battlefield returned to its previous quietness
It¡¯s like, nothing happened before
The soldiers, who had been tired for a day, gradually fell asleep and at this moment, silhouettes of people began to appear on Tsurumaru Castle
One by one, the Japanese hung ropes and fell from the city wall. When their feet touched the ground, they held samurai swords in their hands
Night attack!
Heisaburo Oshima, who leads these people, firmly believes that he will not fail again this time
There was silence in the military camp of Huben Guards. There was no sound, everything was surrounded by the fragrance of dreams, and everything was in a strange silence
Oshima Heisaburo and his night attack team were approaching the enemy's camp bit by bit The enemy was unprepared, and everything went smoothly
When they finally approached, Heisaburo Oshima didn't even see the enemy sentry
"For the Shimazu family, kill!" Oshima Heisaburo said thisHowling.
A large number of Japanese rushed into the Ming Army's military camp and at this moment, countless torches suddenly flashed out of the Ming Army's military camp Then, a large number of Ming Army soldiers holding muskets Appeared!
All the Japanese in the night attack team were instantly panicked.
"Do you recognize General Huangfu Yunjie?" Amid laughter, Huangfu Yunjie appeared on a tall horse!
At this moment, Oshima Heisaburo was heartbroken. The Raid Team failed, will the Night Raid Team fail now too? No, not necessarily, but the people of the Ming Dynasty had already been prepared, and they had already judged this sneak attack
?¡
"Has Huangfu started?" Ding Yunyi, who was lying on the bed, asked with a yawn.
"It's begun. More than three hundred Japanese bandits have been surrounded by Lord Huangfu."
"Only more than 300 people?" Ding Yunyi seemed very dissatisfied: "So I said those Japanese bandits can't do anything big. A mere 300 people are not enough for Huangfu to kill"
He turned over, and the wounds on his body started to hurt again. He kept cursing those hateful Japanese bandits in his stomach, and then said tiredly: "Ask Huangfu not to leave anyone behind, and not to disturb me before dawn" .¡±
However, just as he finished these words, the roar of muskets was heard
"Damn it, how can I sleep at night?" Ding Yunyi muttered angrily
?¡
With the roar of muskets, Oshima Heisaburo looked sadly at his men, who fell to the enemy's guns one by one, without the ability to resist at all.
These Japanese raiders were surrounded in a small area, and the Ming Army musketeers could happily kill these Japanese pirates without any aim at all.
Some Japanese thieves still wanted to resist with all their strength. They waved their samurai swords and rushed forward with a cry of "Ao Ao". However, they quickly fell into a pool of blood amidst the sound of muskets after taking only a few steps forward
They have no ability to resist at all. Compared with the Ming army, which was well prepared, and in the face of the muskets with astonishing lethality in a small area, all resistance is in vain.
The Night Raid Team was destined to fail from the very beginning!
First one by one, and then groups of Japanese pirates died It is completely possible to imagine the sadness and helplessness of Oshima Heisaburo at this time. Faced with such a situation, he had no way to do anything.
"Hagagaru!" Oshima Heisaburo howled in despair, then he raised his katana high and rushed towards the opposite side desperately.
But what greeted him was still the ruthless muskets of the Ming army
Oshima Heisaburo died, his body was almost destroyed by more than a dozen muskets. He fell in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, and his face was full of unwillingness.
But, what can be done about this?
Katana vs. musket, this is an unfair duel
On Tsurumaru Castle, Shimazu Mitsuhisa, who was full of hope, also clearly heard the gunfire coming from the enemy barracks opposite. He knew that it was not from the night raid team.
He closed his eyes sadly, Oshima Heisaburo and his night attack team failed.
He once thought they could succeed, but what they brought to him was still this ending. He really couldn't figure it out, what else could stop those Ming Dynasty people?
Miyamoto Musashi can¡¯t do it, and neither can the Night Raid Team
What about Shangchuan Lake? What about Shangchuan Lake, where you can hire experts from all over the place? Where is he now? Can he invite those masters back before Tsurumaru Castle is breached?
Now all hopes seem to be pinned on Shangchuan Lake.
But Mitsuhisa Shimazu didn¡¯t know that Lake Kamikawa had abandoned him. In the eyes of Lake Kamikawa, Mitsuhisa Shimazu was just a chess piece that could be used.
Once this chess piece loses its use value, it is worthless.
This is the sorrow of the Shimazu family, this is the sorrow of Mitsuhisa Shimazu, and now, the terrible and sad shadow of failure is getting closer and closer! (To be continued: Gone with the Sky.
