Half a month ago, Ryuzoji Takanobu, who had unified Hizen Province, was complacent, and launched an offensive against the Matsuura clan, the daimyo of the Hirado clan, with his iron artillery team and two Nanban barrels.

Naoshige Nabeshima led more than 1,000 troops, and Bai Wuxian led hundreds of special forces to escort the Nanban Otsubo and launched an offensive against Kusano Castle.

The surname of Bai Wu Xiankan is weird, this is the surname given by Takashin of Ryuzo Temple, which means that there are hundreds of people who are unstoppable. At the beginning of the war, he did prove himself, the defenders of the Matsuura clan closed the city, and Kenkan rode out alone, and killed two enemy samurai under the city in a single horse, and the great dragon temple army was strong.

The Matsuura clan is not an ordinary person, and the use of kamikaze to repel the Yuan army twice is enough to make the Matsuura clan, who was called the Mishima Wako in the Central Plains, brave for a lifetime. They were even the first daimyo to use iron cannons in the Japanese archipelago, as Wangzhi, who brought arquebuses to Japan, was worshipped as a guest of honor by the feudal lord Takashi Matsuura.

In terms of naval forces, they had a large number of Japanese pirates, and the Matsuura clan plundered huge amounts of wealth for more than 200 years to build strong mountain castles and defend their lands.

But this is obviously not enough for the soldiers and horses sent by the Ryuzoji clan.

Bai Wuxian and from the middle of the main formation, said to the left and right cronies of the samurai: "Put the Nanban big cylinder and blast open the city gate." ”

The samurai led the order and ran to deliver the order, and Bai Wuxian smiled at Nabeshima Naoshige, the towering cheekbones made the smile look cruel, and the knife still in the sheath pointed at the mountain castle, "A strong city like this, if it was not for the cage city in the past, it could not be captured in March, but now under the Nanban big cylinder, it can be broken in an instant!" ”

The addition of artillery makes the siege seem boring, no matter how strong the city is, it is also a wood and stone building, and the proportion of wood is very large, and there is no bad thing that the Nanban big barrel bombards up, and the past defensive tactics and defense methods are pale and weak.

Listening to the roar of the two cannons before the formation, the black iron cannonballs hung high in a parabola to avoid the city wall and fell in the city, startling the defenders to shout, Nabeshima Naoshige looked at the castle town where the people had already run out, and suddenly lost the interest in continuing to command the battle.

He got up and let out a long sigh and said, "If the city gate is broken, let Matsuura Takanobu surrender and keep the land for control." ”

As he spoke, Naoshige Nabeshima raised his feet and walked out of the main formation, looked at the side of the forest road with some suspicion, and said: "Before the war, there was a light story about seeing a fox fire in the forest at night, and that was the patron saint of the Shimazu family, and I was uneasy, so I will capture Kusano Castle as soon as possible." ”

Bai Wuxian and the commander responded with full morale, turned around and conveyed the commander's order to the outside, encouraging the fighting spirit of the special forces under his command, and preparing to attack the city fortress in a surprise attack after the artillery bombarded the city gate.

The artillery roared at intervals, and again and again it fell high in the city in a parabola, and kept bombarding the houses, Naoshige Nabeshima looked at the woods on both sides of the formation again, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, sitting firmly in the middle of the army and waiting for the moment when the artillery was accurate.

And what they saw was not a fox fire, but an arquebus.

On the mountain six or seven miles away from Caoye City, Chen Bazhi watched this absurd siege with relish through the telescope, in fact, this cage city battle was very serious, but the artillery couldn't be hit accurately, which made Chen Bazhi feel absurd in his heart.

There was only one army of a thousand households by his side, which was already the limit of what could be sent to the shore without startling the snake.

Nine days earlier, his fleet had arrived in Hirado, but the advance scout ship saw from afar that the port was well armed and a Saiyi fleet was docked, so it did not attack the port directly, and searched for two whole days before finding a wild beach on the north side of Hirado Island that could conceal the fleet and facilitate landing, so he simply released his subordinates to collect local intelligence.

I didn't gather information, but I got the news that the local Kusano Castle was fighting, and learned that there was his target this time, the 2,000 troops of the Ryuzoji family.

"They are well arranged, they are veteran generals, that is the most suitable terrain for the siege, look at those few tents, it is where the tent is located, and the surrounding situation can be seen at a glance." Chen Bazhi was followed by Qi Zhengyan's righteous son Qi Xingchang, who followed the main general as a horseman, and the little eighth master also had the intention of mentioning something, telling him the key points of the formation, and said: "But they have just come into contact with artillery and can't shoot it, so they can't hit it accurately." ”

"Then they won't find out about us?"

Chen Bazhi handed the telescope to Governor Qi for him to see, and said with a smile: "He is the best place to attack the city, let's be the best place to peek at them, and even advance three miles to the northeast, which is the best place to attack them." ”

"This is called the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind, and the camp for the generals can not only look at the target, but also deploy more scouts in places that threaten the place where they are deployed, first establish an invincible position, and then seek victory."

As he spoke, Chen Bazhi raised his hand and made a few gestures, and the small flag officers in the forest rushed to tell each other, and the 100 households of the mountain pass artillery pushed two catties and five catties of artillery to advance towards the predetermined artillery position, and the flag army carrying the tiger squat cannon on their shoulders marched forward with the large army.

This battle is a good opportunity, Chen Bazhi's soldiers have not seen a big battle after the reorganization and drill, and they need to exchange troops once.

"Eighth Master, are we going to attack them?" Governor Qi looked a little frightened, his hand holding the ribs shook slightly, and said, "We only have a thousand troops, how many ...... of them"

There are indeed many enemy troops, which are twice as large as Chen Bazhi's strength, and such a gap is difficult to win under normal circumstances in a field battle.

"In the world, less is often the best, but there has never been a weak victory over the strong, less is not necessarily weak, more is not necessarily stronger."

Chen Bazhi got up as he spoke, led his soldiers to the artillery position, and followed the drummer behind him, and said: "Military struggle is the study of constantly seeking to attack the weak with superiority and encroach on the enemy army in order to achieve victory in the changing military situation. ”

"Now there are more of them, and for a while they will be less - you don't have to understand, just keep it in your heart."

How the enemy has become fewer, Governor Qi doesn't know, but it is obvious to Chen Bazhi that Naoshima's military strength is almost close to his face.

People are attacking the city, don't you go in if you take the city?

"The general banner of the armor artillery is aimed at the city gate, and listen to my orders to intercept the attacking army; The general flag of the second artillery is aimed at the enemy position to deter the enemy army; The general flag of the C artillery was ready to enter the field with the flag army, and the battle began to shoot flat, raise and raise again as in the past training, covering the advance of the infantry. ”

The three artillery teams were divided into order by Chen Bazhi, and the flag army was the same, in a semi-encircled shape facing the grass field city under the formation, divided into two parts by fields and mountains and forests, there were few people in the mountains and forests, and there were many people in the fields, he only planned to defeat the enemy army, after all, this was just training.

The two guns of Ryuzoji Temple were still bombarding Kusano Castle at a long interval, and this kind of roughly aimed and ballistic shooting made him extremely discouraged, it was too wasteful of iron!

He originally thought that the artillery would blast the city gate open at the same time as he dispatched his troops, but who expected that his soldiers and horses were ready for battle, and the city gate had not yet opened.

After waiting for a full stick of incense, Chen Bazhi even wondered if the banner army he was ambushing in the field was already asleep, and finally with a crisp sound, a cannonball bombarded the city gate, and the huge firepower smashed the wooden gate of the outer city, and the besieging army immediately let out a roaring roar and rushed out in unison.

Interestingly, they smashed the gate of Ninomaru in Kusano Castle, and in order to attack this gate, they destroyed an arrow tower, destroyed an iron cannon gate, and destroyed the taiko gate in the outer gate early.

What the outer city could hold back the enemy army was no longer in danger of being bombarded by long, ferocious and inaccurate artillery.

The siege army rushed in, fighting with the defenders in the city, Chen Bazhi stood up in the banner army crouching in the field, looked at the enemy army attacking the city two or three miles away, the corners of his mouth gradually turned up, and finally opened his hand and shouted: "The general flag of the armor artillery, cut off the enemy army, release!" ”
