Chapter 120 Shelling of Kishiwada

The first round of shelling was actually quite successful, after all, it was only the first tentative attack, and there were a total of forty shells, of which a total of eight were flowering shells, and the others were solid shells. A total of 10 of the 40 shells smashed into Kishiwada Castle, and of these, a total of three successfully hit the positions of Matsuura Hizen Mori, and two more smashed into the walls of Ninomaru.

And what is even more unfortunate is that these two shells turned out to be all flowering shells, and all of them smashed on the wall of Ninomaru, and the explosion points of the two shells were very close, and there was a section of the wall of Ninomaru, which was blown out of a big gap.

Matsuura Hizen Mamoru was actually very lucky, before he observed the position outside the castle was the head of Ninomaru, and the place where the gap was blown out was very close to the position he was standing on, which means that if he hadn't just been bold enough to go to Sannomaru to check, then it was likely that he would have been injured by now.

So when he saw the gap in Ninomaru now, Matsuura Hizen Mamoru was secretly happy, but at the same time, he couldn't relax his mood, because he knew that it would be the Kuroda family's more fierce attack after that. Now there is a gap in the wall of the Ninomaru, and Sannomaru is under his own command that cannot be defended no matter what. So what should I do? Do you completely pin your hopes on the defense system of the Honmaru Castle Tower?

I don't know, Matsuura Hizen Mamoru really doesn't know, now he is very confused, the Kuroda family actually used such a powerful weapon, he doesn't know what this is, is it what the Southern Barbarians said before, the kind of weapon that can make the entire city instantly turn into nothing.

If the Kuroda family really has such a sharp weapon, then what's the point of defending the Kuroda family's offense by himself? In the end, it wasn't that he was going to be blown to ashes by this artillery, but he knew that the walls of Ninomaru were stone buildings, not flesh and blood like himself.

It's just that now that the wood is in the boat, Matsuura Hizen Mamoru doesn't have much choice, and it is more difficult to surrender at this time, after all, he has been resisting for three or four days before, and even he himself doesn't think that the Kuroda family will accept his surrender. In particular, it is not very difficult for the Kuroda family to have such a sharp weapon as artillery, and then blow up the entire Kishiwada Castle that they defended, and there is no need to accept their submission.

Kishiwada Castle is indeed a city with a very good defensive system, and Matsuura Hizen Mamoru is indeed a relatively powerful samurai, but there is no way to reverse the huge strength gap between the Kuroda family and the Kuroda family, especially after the Kuroda family's naval army entered the battle, the defenders in the entire Kishiwada Castle have lost the confidence to defend. Just like Matsuura Hizen Mamoru thought, he was just flesh and blood, how could he resist an artillery like the Kuroda family? It's an impossible task.

However, they did not have much time to think, and five minutes later, the second round of shelling fell again on the castle of Kishiwada. This time, the Kuroda family's naval army has already recalculated the entire trajectory of the shells.

The gunners of the Kuroda family's naval army are all skilled soldiers who use artillery all year round, so this time, after recalculation, more than 20 of the 40 shells fell in Kishiwada Castle, and this time most of the shells that fell in the castle were aimed at Honmaru and Ninomaru.

One of the flowering shells directly hit the castle tower of Honmaru, and more than half of the buildings to the west of the castle tower were blown up, so shocked that some of the defenders were dripping urine, and Matsuura Hizen Mamoru's family members basically died in this attack.

At the same time, all kinds of shells that continued to fall into the city, whether solid or flowering, destroyed the confidence and hope of the defenders to defend Kishiwada Castle all the time.

Before, they were able to hold the Kuroda family's attack in a low gear in three or four days, which really made them a little self-confident, but now they know that the Kuroda family is really not easy to deal with.

After three rounds of shelling, Matsuura Hizen's men and men were basically to the point of mental breakdown, and at this time, Imate Tomoshi finally led his army to attack the defenders of Wada Castle on the opposite bank.

Sannomaru had already been abandoned by his opponent, and at this time, Matsuura Hizen Mamoru had just left the Sannomaru city wall and returned to Ninomaru, so it didn't take much effort for the Kuroda family to reoccupy Sannomaru.

In the previous bombardment, Ninomaru had been blown out of three relatively large gaps, and these three gaps were just very suitable for the advance of the Kuroda family, so the Kuroda family's brigade continued to pour into Ninomaru from the three gaps, and quickly seized various military points.

As for Honmaru, because of the small castle tower and the cooperation of seven or eight small turrets, it took a lot of effort, but because Honmaru was also blown out of a gap, it was also unable to stop the attack of the Kuroda family's army. After the attack of the Kuroda family's army was blocked twice, Imate Tomoshi personally led the army to attack Honmaru.

Matsuura Hizen Mamoru finally took his men and put up a final resistance in the castle tower. It's just that these people are the opponents of the Imate Yushi. So Matsuura Hizen Mamoru finally applied to Ide Tomoshi for self-cutting on the top of the incomplete castle tower. At this time, only half of the castle tower was left, and he was facing the outside of the ruined castle tower, where the rest of the entire river spring country was located. In the west, the sun is setting, and the sun is waning, perhaps this is in line with Matsuura Hizen Mamoru who now needs to disembowel.

After Kishiwada Castle was attacked by the army of the Itetomo clan, the entire Hequan Kingdom was shocked, after all, Kishiwada Castle is still a very strong city, and as I said before, it is also a city with a very complete defense system, even such a city can only block the Kuroda family for five days, how long can these small castles of his own resist the Kuroda family?

In particular, the general of the Kuroda family, who led the team, was still the world-famous fierce general Itetomo clan, so these families asked to submit to the Kuroda family. After all, these are some wall grasses, and whoever is powerful will fall to whomever they want, and it is originally a group of things without discipline.

Faced with such a situation, after consulting with Shigeharu Takenaka, the Imate Tomoshi made a request to send hostages, reduce the table, keep sixty percent of the land, and transfer it to another country.
