0343 Collapse of the country

At this moment, the first row of firecrackers stood still and began to drill and reload. The second row of firecrackers came out of the crowd, raised the firecrackers again under the command of the general flag, and quickly played the second round!

The second round of firecrackers was also very accurate! Dozens more ashigaru soldiers fell to the ground screaming! The lead of the firecrackers is very heavy, hitting the head is the end of the brain, hitting the chest and abdomen is the result of the intestines piercing the belly, and hitting the limbs is the tragic phenomenon of broken bones and tendons! Frightened by the fate of their companions, the Ashigaru soldiers were completely panicked. They know the power of the iron cannon in their hands, and they definitely don't want the fire in the opponent's hand to shoot at them.

As a result, quite a few ashigaru soldiers began to throw away their iron cannons and flee. Kono Kamiharu, who was on the city wall, already knew that he couldn't do anything, and it seemed that he couldn't achieve his goal by lining up out of the city. Otherwise, the soldiers who could not be lined up in the chaos would only be shot down in vain by rows of firearms! At this time, there were already some brave or desperate ashigaru soldiers, firing the iron cannons in their hands against their opponents! But something like a firebolt must be dense enough to be lethal. The iron cannons that were fired in the panic were not aimed at all, and the lead did not know where it flew!

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Kono Harukawa hurriedly shouted, "Withdraw!" Withdraw it! ”

The ashigaru soldiers, who were in confusion, heard the order to retreat, and no one even put their guns off, and hurriedly rushed to the camp. By this time, the third row of musketeers had already finished their formation. With an order, a row of firearms rang out again, killing and wounding a large number of ashigaru soldiers.

The third row of gunners was more relaxed than the first two, because they were now facing the enemy's back, and they could relax and aim and shoot. So the third row of firecrackers achieved the results of nearly forty shots!

At this time, the sporadic iron cannons above the wall began to cover and fire. However, because the shots were so scattered, they didn't reach the team at all, only stirring up a few pillars of earth in front of the firecrackers. Originally, Liu Pei could have ordered to rush the camp while there was chaos, but considering the plan later, he had to order the firecrackers to return.

With the order, the sword and shield men lined up in place beyond the range of the iron cannon. The firecrackers were scattered to the two wings. At this time, the inside of the Japanese camp was already in chaos. The screams of the wounded, the cries of the soldiers looking for the general, the clashing of swords, guns and armor all over the place!

Kono Ueharu yelled loudly to silence the soldiers. At the same time, he ordered all the ashigaru who had iron cannons in their hands to go up to the wall to stand guard. At the sound of his roar, the frightened soldiers restored some order. A group of ashigaru armed with iron cannons climbed the wall and aimed their guns outside to be on guard.

In fact, the form just now frightened Kono Kamiharu! As a general who has been in charge of the army for many years, does he know what the panic just now means? As long as the opponent sacrifices his life to rush, his team will fall apart. At that time, the camp must not have been able to hold it.

However, to Kono's relief, the other party not only did not take the opportunity to rush the camp, but instead shrank his forces and retreated a short distance. Kamiharu Kono didn't know what made the other party make this decision. He could only guess that the main general of the other party was not familiar with the battle formation, so he made mistakes and omissions in command.

Kono Kamiharu looked left and right, and saw that at least the one was already preparing for defense on the wall, and there was no need to worry about the enemy storming the camp gate, so he went down the wall. At this time, all the samurai in the camp had gathered in the square behind the camp gate. Seeing Kono Kamiharu coming, they bowed and saluted.

Someone asked, "My lord, do you see where the people from outside are from?" ”

Kono shook his head and said, "I don't know at all!" They don't have a flag. The armor worn is also strange. I can't see the way out at all. ”

As soon as the warrior wanted to say something, he heard the army outside shouting in unison: "Expel the Japanese and help my king." ”

The roar was repeated three times in a row. Not only the Japanese people in the camp heard it clearly, but even the surrounding people could hear it clearly. Originally, the main camp of the Japanese people was not too far from the Ryukyu Imperial Palace. It was to monitor King Shangfeng's every move. Therefore, there are many houses in the surrounding area.

Kono Kamiharu and the samurai were so angry when they heard these three shouts! Kamiharu Kono said loudly: "It turned out to be a thief commanded by King Shangfeng, a red deer!" It seems that he has contributed a lot to this day! ”

Another samurai said, "My lord, what shall we do?" Rush out? ”

Kono Kamiharu scolded loudly: "Red deer noro! How can so many iron cannons outside rush out? ”

The warrior took a step back without saying a word. Kamiharu Kono scolded in a low voice, "Damn King Shangfeng! When the war is over, you must look good! You have to cut off your fingers and apologize! ”

At this time, a warrior on the wall shouted, "My lord, the other party does not seem to have any intention of rushing to the camp. Maybe we can line up in the camp and go out to fight! ”

Kono Kamiharu really didn't bother to pay attention to these samurai who were full of fighting in their brains, and he began to think about countermeasures. After a moment, he ordered: "Half of the ashigaru with iron cannons will be defended by the wall, and the remaining half will be lined up 10 paces behind the camp gate. Samurai and speared ashigaru lined up on either side of the camp gate. When they stormed the camp gate, we opened the camp gate and fired with iron cannons, and then the samurai and ashigaru rushed up and slashed and slashed! The opponent's iron cannon is very powerful, but the bravery of our samurai is incomparable to theirs! If we get close to them, we can easily kill them all! ”

The samurai bowed in unison and said, "Hay! ”

Then they quickly followed Kono's orders to prepare. In a moment of chaos, if there is one person who stands up and gives orders, then whoever that person is, the chaos will soon subside. What's more, Kamiharu Kono is still the leader of these people. And his command sounded very feasible. So the camp quickly became orderly. Those who have weapons go to the formation. Someone was dragging the wounded away. If you don't have a weapon, run to the back warehouse to get a spare weapon. Everyone was running in an orderly manner.

Seeing that order had been restored inside the camp, Kono Harushi breathed a sigh of relief. He was glad that the opposing commander didn't attack while he was in confusion. Otherwise, Kono Kamiharu feels that he has only one way to go! This made him feel that Amaterasu was still blessing him.

But at this moment, a warrior on the wall shouted at him, "My lord, come here quickly." ”

Kono Kamiharu knew that something must have happened when he heard his voice leave. He hurried up the wall and looked in the direction of the warrior's finger, and he was terrified!

I saw that the opposite team cracked open and made way for four passages. Four guns were pushed up. These four cannons weren't the ones Kono had seen before. The cannon was slightly thinner than any he'd ever seen, but noticeably lighter. And instead of four small ones, it had two large wheels on either side of the gun mount. It was easy to see the gunners pushing the guns. But no matter how easily they push the artillery, it's still artillery after all! It's something Kono Kamiharu can't stop!

Kamiharu Kono couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Red Deer Noro! How can they have a national collapse? ”

According to the Japanese book "Funsa Gunki", in 1576, the Nanban (Portuguese) presented a stone fire arrow to the Otomo family, and Otomo Sorin's name it was Kunobai. Regarding this period of history, [Takeshi Omitted] gives the following description: In the 20th year of Astronomy (1551), a Portuguese ship anchored in Bungo fired a salute at the church, and a loud explosion reached the castle of Funai. The master of the sect went to watch under the shock. In this way, the cannon reached Otomo's house. Zong Lin called it the collapse of the country under great joy.

Kono's brain teaser was spinning rapidly, and he came up with one solution after another, but to no avail. Beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead. He felt that he could not hold the camp anymore. Under the artillery, there is only powder! In the end, he didn't come up with any solution. The last thought on his mind was to commit suicide.

Just as he was racking his brains with Kono Kamiharu, the gunners on the opposite side had already begun to build gun emplacements. They were quickly digging two shallow trenches in the ground with their shovels, and then pushing the wheels of the artillery into the shallow pits. Immediately began to adjust the gun carriage and aimed it at the wall. This is followed by a series of actions such as chamber cleaning and charging.
