Chapter 321: Battle for Sa (5)(2/2)

The children were moved to the Suwa Shrine at the foot of the mountain to the east for shelter.

With the North Navy's cannons as support, the Sendai domain warriors on horseback showed off their power on the west bank of the Ogawa River. When the Ashigaru team arrived, they began to cut down trees everywhere and prepare to build a pontoon bridge.

At dusk, the Northern Navy and the Sendai Army camped at the foot of the mountain west of Ogawa. The Sendai Army chopped wood for a long time, and felt that it was protected by the Northern Navy, so they just surrounded a small camp with chopped wooden stakes. The Northern Navy still behaved well.

They promptly built camp fortifications and cleared the shooting boundary. At the same time, they lit more than a dozen bonfires on the shore of Xiongchuan as a warning.

At nightfall, several small boats carried Xiaogenzhan's warriors across the river quietly, preparing to launch a night attack on the North Korean Navy. Unexpectedly, as soon as their boat reached the center of the river, they were violently fired by several machine guns of the North Korean Navy. More than a dozen people were killed.

The armored samurai and ashigaru had nowhere to hide, and they all fell into the water before they could even shoot their arrows. The sneak attackers on other boats hopelessly threw a few arrows towards the other side, and then took advantage of the dark night to escape back to Ogenzhan.

At dawn the next day, the Sendai Army continued to build the pontoon bridge, while the Northern Navy prepared to launch a bombardment according to established procedures. That is to say, Zhao Xin followed, otherwise it would be difficult to carry a large number of artillery shells.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the artillery company determined the position and coordinates, and eighteen mortars directed another bombardment at the Satsuma samurai and Hamanoya who were lined up in front of Wakamiya Shrine on the opposite bank. The Satsuma samurai and Tingzhuang were preparing to fight.

They were all stunned and looked at the scene in front of them without knowing what to do.

When the Sendai Army built the pontoon bridge and the Ashigaru Corps, Iron Artillery Corps and Archery Corps rushed to the other side, all that awaited those Satsuma warriors was massacre.

"Aim~~shoot!"

"Bang bang bang...!!!"

"Raise the bow~~shoot!"

White smoke filled the air in front of the Wakamiya Shrine. Dozens of Satsuma warriors who knew they could not escape ran into the Sendai clan's iron artillery team. They shouted and charged at the iron artillery team with guns. What greeted them was only the blazing heat.

of iron bullets and rain of arrows.

The beach house had been completely blown up. The collapsed stone walls and the exposed limbs under the bricks showed that many samurai had gathered here before, and they died without even seeing the faces of their enemies.

The surviving war horses ran and neighed in fear in the streets. A dozen Sendai clan ashigaru rushed over to take the horses regardless. This was a trophy, and whoever grabbed it would get it!

When several samurai leaders from the Sendai Domain led their men to the Suwa Shrine on the east bank of the Ogawa River, they were faced with a courtyard full of women, children and the elderly. Perhaps the battle was fought too easily and smoothly.

The leading samurai leader did not let his men kill. They just asked the old man and the woman to put down their weapons. After another search, they drove these people back to the town of Konezhan.
