Drinking tea with Mizuki Daisue and Senmune is an elegant affair, and the war in Edo Castle is bloody and terrible.

"Rush!" The fallen shoguns roared and rushed forward like a tidal wave, as if they were about to submerge Edo Castle!

Edo Castle was like a giant beast that was constantly spewing smoke and mist, firing heavy bullets that knocked down the fallen army.

The soldiers in the city reloaded, shot, reloaded, and shot, almost numb, but the enemies under the city did not appear to be reduced!

The enemy set up ladders, blocked bullets with their chests, and rushed up the city walls!

The officers and soldiers of the shogunate stood up their hairs, and they rushed up desperately and fought fiercely with the fallen shogunate, everyone faced each other with swords and guns, without frowning or covering up, one knife for another, one life for another, and they all died together.

If the weapon is discounted, use your fists and teeth to kill the opponent and strangle the opponent!

The soldiers in the back shot desperately, and due to the close range, many people's ears were deafened by the sound of gunfire, and accidental injuries occurred from time to time.

When the fight reached the hearty place, the wounded of the shogunate army dragged the blood-sprayed bodies and jumped off the city wall with the fallen shogunate soldiers in their arms!

This battle for the defense of Edo was fought by both sides remarkably, and it can go down in history.

The scale of the battle was huge, and each side fought valiantly, almost none surrendered, and the courage of the Japanese was not small.

The Shogunate Army was desperate for the sake of their own lives and swore to take the city to the death, while the Shogunate Army was facing a powerful enemy, which was difficult to hold onto, and at first the upper echelons of the Shogunate were also very worried, but after so many days, they finally defended it.

Huo Di, the flames rose, and the black smoke swirled up under the city with teeth and claws, and the screams were loud!

The shogunate army threw a large number of fire oil bombs at the enemy under the castle, burning them to death and drenching them with fire oil.

Fire oil bombs?

It's the kind of jar that is filled with oil, thrown down and smashed what is set on fire to kill and wound the enemy, such a luxury should not have appeared on the battlefield of the Japanese country, the Japanese country is poor, they are small and there are many people, and the production is not abundant, not to mention the oil, not even a few chicken feathers.

Why is it a generous gift to send pork ribs in the country of sticks?

The area is small, and it can't afford to raise livestock, and you can't use their fat to extract oil, and you can't afford to grow peanuts and soybeans, so you can't use them to extract oil, in short, the oil is very scarce.

In those days, oil was a valuable thing in any country, and it was not enough to eat, and it was also used as a weapon?

With the use of oil, it is not easy to extract, and the production is very low.

The situation in the southeast is an exception, they have enough land, a large number of palm trees are planted, rough and extensive, and when they grow, they will continue to produce oil, and the yield of one tree is not good, but the southeast country has tens of millions of plants planted in large numbers, and the output is very considerable, besides, they also have Sumatra oil mixed with palm oil, which is largely used for public lighting at night.

The government bought a lot of it for municipal lighting and for the evening electricity of schools, hospitals and the military, and their oil was better because it was added with some whale oil, which was lit more vigorously and longer.

For lighting in public places?

The point is silver, the Chinese little follower, the red hair fan saw the night lights of the southeast city, it was brilliant, all dementia!

But everyone has to admit that the lights are lit up at night, urban activities can be carried out as usual, increase economic development, and the night scene is beautiful, such as the southeast city is mostly close to the sea, just light up on the seaside, Nanjing Qinhuai River, Guangzhou Pearl River night view and Shanghai Bund light up, it is really incomparable.

So as a follow-up, the Wa Kingdom still had some gold and silver, and Edo Castle also lit up the night light.

It is not comparable to the two China, but it can intimidate the rest of the Wa Kingdom, and when I go to Edo, I have to serve the extravagance of the shogunate, but I don't know that in the southeast, even small cities can be lit up.

The shogunate imported a lot of lamp oil, which now came in handy, smashing down the jars of oil and striking them one by one, and the attacking fallen shogunate became a human-shaped torch, howling in agony in the fire, and the rest of the people were discouraged.

The attack of the Shogunate was temporarily stopped, and the officers and soldiers of the shogunate defending the castle rejoiced and encouraged, while the higher-ups forced laughter.

There is only 20% ammunition left, and it will run out in a few days, and then it will be the destruction of Edo Castle!

Up to now, the Ming reinforcements are very close, and there have been clippers arriving in Edo to inform the news of the imminent reinforcements, but Edo Castle can't hold on.

What to do?

Everyone's eyes looked at Masayuki Baoke, and he said weakly: "In the early morning of the day after tomorrow, retreat!" ”

Time passed, another day was fought, and at two o'clock in the morning the next day, Edo Castle was boiling!

The east gate was opened, and the shogunate army poured out and abandoned the city.

The Shogunate adopted the strategy of "encircling the three queyi", encircling the southwest, north, and west directions of Edo Castle, leaving the east gate to the shogunate army, not out of good intentions, they wanted to weaken the fighting spirit of the shogunate army, thinking that they would not resolutely resist when they had the opportunity to escape, and at the same time flank the shogunate army when they fled.

The shogunate army took advantage of this opportunity, and at the same time they marched at night, which was a big taboo, but they had lamp oil!

Light the lamp to light the future and make it easy to escape.

There was a lot of movement, and the Fallen Shogun was alarmed, but they could not come out to intercept it, for most of them were blind...... Nyctalopia!

Night blindness was normal for the ancients, and the shogunate army was much less prone to night blindness due to better nutrition, but if they didn't have lights, it was just as troublesome to go out at night.

The army and the people rushed out, and the shogun, Tokugawa Ietsuna, left Edo Castle with a light chariot and a horse led by his guards.

After walking for more than three hours, at about six o'clock in the morning, the soldiers and civilians looked back outside the castle, and the western side of Edo Castle was already glowing red, and soon the sky was bright, and everyone could not help but be in a daze, and some of them had tears in their eyes.

Burn the castle and set the flower of Edo on fire!

The city belonged to the pride of the shogun and must not be left to the enemy!

Lacking fuel, bricks could not be burned, and there were no boulders, and the buildings in Edo were basically made of wood, and there were many wooden houses, palaces, and houses, and the shogunate abandoned the castle, but could not tolerate their own appearance being trampled by the enemy, so they burned it.

The rearguard lit fires all the way, and they piled up flammable materials everywhere and set fire to all parts of Edo Castle.

The flames rose and soon spread, chasing after the guards like shadows, burning their ass to pieces!

A gust of sea breeze blew into the city of Edo, and the fire quickly burned in all directions with the force of the strong wind, and the flames followed the flames, and huge fireballs jumped from one building to another with hurricane force, and the wooden buildings provided excellent fuel for the flames, and everywhere burned, and the sky turned a scorching red!

Edo is in full bloom!

The flower of Edo!
