Chapter 750
Breaking the City
While Osaka Castle was bombarded from all sides, it also had to withstand the Osaka Fortress's bombardment from a high place to the city.
This is no longer as simple as being attacked from all sides. Twenty-one shells on the Osaka Fort bombarded Osaka Castle directly, and knocked many Japanese hiding behind the city wall into meat pies.
Most of the elite soldiers and generals of the shogunate were concentrated in Osaka Castle. If it were ordinary soldiers, they would have been defeated long ago.
Although many people were killed by bombardment, they did not panic, but quickly looked for a place to hide.
At this time, a section of the marching block was cut off by Ming army artillery.
There was no longer a large group of Japanese troops. They hid behind the mercedes to avoid shells. After all, that thing disappeared after being caught.
The Ming soldiers began to build a ladder to attack the city walls.
As long as the Ming army climbed to the top of the city, relying on their personal courage and advanced firearms, they could torture and kill Japan and capture Osaka.
However, when the Ming army climbed to the battlement, the sound of killing suddenly shook the sky at the top of the city, and a large group of vulgar little Japanese appeared again and fired muskets at the Ming army under the city.
Fortunately, Ming Jun was wearing bulletproof vests and a steel helmet on his head.
Although the helmet cannot stop the Minnie shooting, it is almost impossible for the Vulcan Spear to hurt the Ming army.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang..."
The Ming army was shot one after another, and this was the first time they were shot in concentratedly by the enemy in two years.
However, the bulletproof vest and steel helmet protect the lives and safety of Qi's army and the Marine Corps well.
Only a dozen soldiers of Qi's family were hit on the legs by the Vulcan gun.
But the Qi family army reacted quickly and immediately threw the grenade out and retreated quickly when they found that it was wrong.
Because I don’t know how to avoid it, the explosion of the grenade caused nearly 1,000 casualties in the Japanese army.
Qi Jiguang originally thought that the Japanese were killed or fled at the gap, but he didn't expect that they would hide.
This was also a mistake in his tactics and judgment, which injured more than a dozen people under his command.
Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong, who loved soldiers like their sons, were furious and decided to turn Osaka Castle into empty city.
"Come here, I will send the order of this governor to throw all the shells into Osaka Castle!"
The artillery technology of the Ming Dynasty has long been successfully localized and no longer uses red cannons.
It completely adopts independent research and development and uses domestic materials to fill the gap in the country.
It can also be mass-produced on a large scale, reaching the most advanced international level in the 17th century. Its representative product is the 2nd Type of General of the Divine Realm!
The ammunition truck of each cannon in the artillery battalion will carry a simple tool box to perform some simple repairs to the artillery cart.
Each artillery will also carry a complete set of carpenters and blacksmith tools to maintain the artillery and complete some more complex repairs.
Accompanied by the deafening loud noise, the Ming army's artillery positions roared again, and countless iron filings and leads fell from the sky and hit the city of Osaka.
This time, not only the Divine Power General, but also the mortar and the Maokang Divine Bullets were bombarded together.
The Japanese army on the top of Osaka Castle also fired artillery and fought back, but was soon covered by Ming army artillery fire.
The Qi family army had 500 mortars, fifty rocket launchers, and more than a dozen intentionally took more than 2,000 mortar shells to land on the top of Osaka Castle.
Half a stick of incense, the Qi family army's mortar shells were almost used up.
No matter how brave the Japanese army is, they are flesh and blood. How can they resist the large-scale bombing of mortars? The entire city was blown up.
Mortar shells were all parabolas, and this time I really couldn't see a Japanese army.
The top of Osaka Castle was covered with blood and fragments of the Japanese army everywhere.
Blood flowed into the moat along the city walls, and the water in the entire moat was dyed red.
Is this over? Of course not. The Maokang God Bull is still bombarding continuously, and a raging fire has been lit in the city.
The Japanese army did not expect that the Ming army would shoot shots, and without any warning, thousands of people were killed and injured on the spot.
Tadaki Sakai, who came to command, was also injured in the thigh by a piece of iron filing. He was helped to a door hole and bandaged and rescued, and then escaped with his back.
In fact, it was not a shotgun, but a mortar shell. Of course Tadaki Sakai would not understand.
There were several rounds of bombardment, and the top of the city was covered with black smoke. The Japanese army that had just escaped were not spared. They only bombed the Japanese corpses all over the city, and they were like ghosts.
The naval guns on the other three sides were also violently bombarding the Osaka city walls, killing the Japanese army with heavy casualties. They retreated only when they saw that no one of the warships landed.
Many houses in the city have been burned to death.
While withstanding bombardment from all sides, the Japanese army in the city will also be hit by the Osaka Fort from a high position to attack the city.
Many people in the city were bombarded into meat paste by solid bombs that suddenly fell from the sky.
The Osaka Fort was originally an important barrier for Osaka’s defense, but now it has become a weapon to kill themselves.
The people in the entire Osaka Castle and the Tokugawa Shogunate were in panic, feeling as if the end of the world was coming.
"Boom..."
The Nancheng City Wall finally failed to withstand the bombardment of the Shenwei General's cannon. It collapsed more than fifty meters, filling the moat with real filling.
Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong laughed at the sight. The project stairs were useless.
Qi Jiguang raised his revolver in his hand and fired a shot into the city:
"Bang……"
"Qi's army charges!"
"yes"
Under the command of officers at all levels, the 20,000 Qi family troops launched a charge towards Osaka Castle.
Of course, the Ming Marine Corps could not fall behind, so they took out their revolver and pulled the trigger:
"Bang……"
"Marine Corps Charge"
"Run!"
Mingjun screamed secretly and rushed into Osaka Castle from the collapsed city wall to the south.
All the power of the Tokugawa shogunate is now in the hands of the old master Sakai Tadaki, and the new general Tokugawa Iemitsu is just a decoration.
If the shogunate does not exist, he is nothing to bullshit by Sakai Tadaki.
In order to continue to control the power of the shogunate, Tadaki Sakai decided to take advantage of it after learning that the Osaka Castle was destroyed.
After briefly bandaging the wound, Tadaki Sakai immediately led his subordinates out of the shogunate to support the defenders.
He shouted loudly along the way to direct the Commander's defense, which was loyal and dedicated.
Under the personal command of the shogunate elder, the Japanese army gradually restored order, and they began to re-arrange their formations with extremely strong discipline.
The biggest personality of Japanese people is that they are stubborn and have a bad tendency to seek death and tend to be desperate.
It is not that the Japanese soldiers are so brave, but mainly because Tadaki Sakai just made a promise to kill a Ming soldier, reward ten dragon coins and ten acres of land.
There is no way, Japan's currency is messy, so you can only use the Ming Dynasty currency.
With such good treatment, the Japanese army suddenly had a great boost of morale. They risked being shot dead, threw stones from all corners and kept shooting the Ming army with muskets, bows and arrows.
Faced with the Japanese army's tenacious resistance, the Ming army's fighting will was very firm. They all shot and killed the Japanese army with red eyes like wild animals, and even killed them.
At first, the Japanese army seemed to have taken stimulants and fought very hard, and the Ming army's attack was stubbornly resisted.
Chapter completed!
