Chapter 42: The Power of the Water Army
"Haha! Actually, what you said is right, I really don't have any good siege methods now, so I didn't give the order to siege the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince someone mentioned that I was waiting, then you say, what am I waiting for? Kuroda asked.
"Could it be that the young master is waiting for the water army? I can't think of anything else, only the water army of my family, and I may also get the expectations of the young master. After all, if you attack the city, no matter how many soldiers come, it is useless. Inoue asked in surprise.
"No matter how many soldiers there are, it's useless? Is it difficult that the family's navy has brought siege weapons, or is it that the family's navy ships themselves are siege weapons? Kuriyama Riyan seemed to have thought of something at this time, and immediately said.
"Well, Ansuke's two statements are true, and Kurou Uemon is also right. Wait for the family's Yibao County Water Army, and then let you see how powerful the water army is. ”
"Young master, isn't this water army useless! Why does the young master attach so much importance to the construction of the water army? Akashi asked at this time.
"It's not that the navy is useless, or that it can't help, it's all an old idea, and it's also the superiority of the samurai. One thing you have to remember is that trolls are actually very important. Just like this expedition to Shikoku, without this family's large-scale naval army, the family may not even be able to pass the narrowest part of the Seto Inland Sea, and the 10,000 army can only look at the ocean and sigh.
And this time, the family's naval army within two days, without the help of the other armies of the family, took the Awaji country alone, although the Awaji country is not big, after all, it is the basis of the Miyoshi family's Awaji national naval army, if it is replaced by you, although it can also be done to the same extent, but can you take the army to swim to the Awaji country? ”
Kuroda Vocational High School said this, and the four young samurai all laughed.
"In addition to Awaji Province, the Awaji Country Navy has eliminated the Awaji Country Navy this time, the Awa Country Navy and the Kurushima Navy Army, which are not something that our land army can do. You said that the navy is not important, and soon the family is estimated to be fighting against the Maori family, and at that time, the navy of the Hidden Ambiguity Country of the Hidden Ambiguity, under the leadership of Lord Dawn Shinyuan, that is, the father of Lord Liang of the Dawn Kingdom, tells you that the navy can also be used, but it is a pity that the Hidden Ambiguity Country is too small. If the Hidden Territory is the size of the Awaji Country, raising seven or eight thousand soldiers, coupled with the ability of Lord Dawn Shinen, I believe that he can at least take the land of the two Maori families. Kuroda said with a smile.
Dawn Kuniliang, who was standing on the side, was very proud when he heard Kuroda praise his father, but at the same time he also told himself that he would also work hard and one day become a great figure like his father.
"Hidden Ambiguity! I know the young master, what do you mean is that some of the soldiers of this family lurk in a certain place, and then drop them directly to the destination point through the naval army, and directly fight the enemy's rear, or the place that needs to be attacked, right? Akashi said.
"That's right."
Kuroda stood up, holding the military ration in his hand, squinting and lifting it up, pointing in the direction of Katsurui Castle.
"Tomorrow is the time to attack Shengrui City."
The next day, after the destruction of Kurijima, it should be said that after the two families of Nojima and Injima annexed Kurujima, more than a dozen large Fukubunes of the Kuroda family's Ihogun-gun naval army, with the cooperation of other small boats, drove along the main vein of the Yoshino River until they were only about a mile away from Katsurui Castle.
"Thanks to this, the Yoshino River is now in a rising season!" Kuroda said with a smile after seeing Fukufune in place.
Originally, Kuroda Vocational High School was still worried that Fukufune would not be able to enter, but the luck of the Kuroda family was really good. Because it is the time of summer when there is a lot of water, the Yoshino River is a large river in the coastal waters of Awa Province, and it happens to be rainy in the summer, and the Yoshino River is flooded, just enough to accommodate large fortune boats to pass through, otherwise the Daifuku boats really can't get in. If the Daifuku ship could not come directly to its current position, the Kuroda family might really have to attack the castle.
The navy not only came to the Fukubune itself, but also brought a crashing car to Kuroda Vocational High School. This thing is a shameless invention of Kuroda's vocational high school, and it has been used many times in the previous battles of the Kuroda family. However, because of its extremely inconvenient movement, the Kuroda family has not used it for a long time, and now because of the carrying of the navy, it can come to the battlefield so quickly.
This is because before going out of the battle, Kuroda Vocational High School suddenly thought that since people can go to Shikoku by boat to fight, then in the future, they may be able to carry the crashing wooden cart to various places by water transportation and participate in the siege war, and the collision wooden cart is more reliable than the direct siege.
After Fukufune arrived at the designated destination, Kuroda Vocational High ordered the entire army to retreat five miles, which was far away from the range of Katsurui Castle. This distance is actually a bit redundant for Fufune, as well as the skilled Ming Sailor on board, even if Fufune misses, it will not affect his own people, but Kuroda is more cautious.
"Boom Boom"
After Fufune was ready, he began to desperately start the shelling of Katsurui City. In the first round of more than a dozen shells, all of them without exception did not concentrate on the target, and did not cause any harm to Shengrui City itself.
But one of the shells fired a little higher! Directly into the city, smashed on one of the samurai's houses in Ninomaru.
When have the people of the Miyoshi family seen such a weapon, and a single shell destroyed almost half of this house, although it did not cause any damage, but the people in the vicinity were greatly hit and psychologically affected.
After a brief adjustment by Kuroda Iefuku's gunners, the second round of shelling began a few minutes later, with more than a dozen shells, this time making a beautiful trajectory, and three shells smashed straight on the walls of Katsurui Castle.
The walls are stony, as I have already mentioned, and it may be true that rockets can't do any damage to them, but this kind of solid artillery is different. Although the Kuroda family used a relatively primitive solid bullet this time, the power should not be underestimated, after all, there is a great force in it.
At least under the impact of the shells, the three places where they were hit, the city walls were not badly damaged, and many small pieces of the foundation stone were crumbled. In addition, some cannonballs fell, and in the Sannomaru and Ninomaru, once again caused some confusion among the people in Katsurui Castle.
"Someone! What's going on outside, and why is it so loud? Miyoshi Changyi ran out of the castle tower, still naked, he was still doing what he loved to do with the beautiful woman known as the little major general.
