Outside Meimuli City, the Luo family's big tube team is about to launch a large cannonball.

At this time, Ander's eyes revealed a solemn color, and he slowly pulled out the Tai Dao on his waist, and said loudly: "Ready!" ”

The standing officers who had already prepared the cylinders immediately raised their torches in their hands.

"Ignition!"

The arquebuses sparkled and grew shorter and shorter.

Everyone in the Luo family, who had long been familiar with the power of the big tube, immediately held their breath, and many even began to stuff thatch into their ears.

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

The roar of five large cylinders in a row suddenly sounded, and the muzzles of the large barrels of a gate flashed with a dazzling firelight, and then the solid projectile crossed the city, drawing a high trajectory in the air, and after reaching the highest point, the shells began to fall and smashed directly. And between the rapid sweep of the shells, there was a shrill and piercing whistling sound, which was extremely powerful.

The first shell hit a little farther, and went straight over the curved wheel at the head of the city, and smashed into the rear, with a dull thud that made people vomit blood. Seeing this scene, the samurai of Meimuli City at the head of the city rushed with their heads in their arms and let out a cry of fear. And with the five large cylinders in the front of the line, one by one, the cannonballs were shot into the air.

The second shell hit the curl wheel on the outer pill, only to hear a loud bang, and then sawdust and lime flew across the city, and billowing smoke and dust obscured the bullet point. Before the smoke cleared, the third shell made a trajectory, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, and smashed the stone wall.

The solid stone cannonball smashed a large crater directly into the stone wall, and the stone projectile immediately cracked, shooting out terrible fragments of rubble in all directions. The people of Meimuli City near the crater let out a terrible scream, apparently injured by the stone shard. Immediately the fourth shell hit the outer pill. In the city, the people of Meimuli City were in a mess and fled in terror. It's like hell on earth.

But the doom of the defenders of Memuli Castle was not over, and the fifth cannonball hit the arrow of the outer maru. At the moment of being shot, the wooden covered arrow turret made a terrible clicking sound, which was the sound of wood cracking, and then the elevated arrow turret, like a drunken person, kept swaying from side to side. Facing the crumbling arrows, the people of Meimuli City under the curved wheel shouted lightly. Flee far away.

The arrow finally came to an end, and with a crisp click, the supporting pillar collapsed. So the arrow oars broke off in their entirety from the center!

"Boom!"

The arrow tilted outwards in a daze, and fell directly on the crankwheel. The curl wheel was immediately crushed, and half of the arrow wheel lay in the curl wheel, and the other was horizontal outside the curl wheel. From the top of the collapsed arrow turret, three people fell out of the window one after the other, and they let out a terrifying scream, and then fell under the city of Meimuli.

On the side of a half-collapsed crankwheel. Saeki Zhenzhong trembled, cowering under the wall, the famous knife that he had always cherished, was left far aside by him at this moment. As the main general of the Saeki family in the city of Meimuli. Saeki Zhenzhong was now completely unsamurai, his face covered in dust, and his head was held in his hands. Sit there in a half-crouch. His gaze was unfocused, even though it was in front of him. Chen was holding a corpse sideways.

The corpse was a person who had been hit on the head by a flying piece of rubble, and the other person's head was dwelling with yellowish-white slurry. However, Saeki Zhenzhong did not feel disgusted at all. He felt that it was lighter than this dead person to be able to save his life from the shelling of Fang Cai, and he didn't know how many times he was lucky.

"I can't go on like this, I'd rather be beheaded by a samurai than stoned to death!"

Saeki Zhenzhong Huo Ran stood up and looked at the muzzles of the Takeda Army's guns that were still smoking under the curved wheel. Saeki Zhenzhong's eyes wandered around, and there was a panicked scene in the outer pill.

Immediately, Saeki Zhenzhong pulled a ashigaru and shouted, "Where is Lord Shinna Tadagen now?" ”

The ashigaru was also covered with his head, and only after half a sound did he react, and he pointed to the edge of the stone wall in a trembling manner. Saeki Jintada left the ashiki and ran over. I saw that at the edge of the crater of Ishigaki, Shinna Tadamoto, the main commander of the Shimazu family of the defenders of Ume Rei Castle, was squatting there.

There was a crater next to Shinna Tadamoto, and next to the crater was the body of an Shimazu samurai who had also been hit by a shell. After staring at the samurai's corpse for a while, Shinna Tadamoto looked up and found that the surrounding defenders, whether it was the Shimazu family or the Saeki family, were in disarray.

"It's so messy! It seems that it is impossible to resist the enemy's attack! ”

The first round of the Luo family's five large cylinders was completed. In fact, the shelling did not cause many casualties, and the buildings were not damaged much, but for the defenders in the city, many people saw such a sharp weapon as the big cylinder for the first time (although the Luo family had used the large cylinder in previous wars, but the rest of the Warring States at this time was generally inconvenient and information blocked, so these people naturally did not know the large cylinder), and what was more fearful was the deterrent effect of the large cylinder on people's psychology. The roar and the explosion of the projectile can have a complete shock on people's psyche.

"Keep shooting! Concentrate on shooting at the city gates! When the smoke of the shells cleared, Masara ordered again.

So, after receiving the order from Zhengliang, Ander immediately shouted the order, and immediately there was a large barrel standing standing with a big pole to clear the muzzle of the cannon that was still emitting black smoke.

Andel continued to exclaim, "Reload. ”

With Andel's order, the standing guards shoved the gunpowder projectiles into the muzzle again. Seeing that the reloading was complete, Andel raised the sword again and shouted loudly in all directions.

"Ready!"

"Ignition!"

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......" The five large cylinders of the Luo family shot a solid cannonball again. But the cannonball went towards the city gate.

"Quick, fill in the dirt at the entrance of the city gate, quick!" Xinna Zhongyuan, who was lying in the battlements and was about to avoid another round of shelling from the Luo family, immediately ordered when he saw this. It's just that the defenders in the city were frightened by the shells of the Luo family, and they dared to run to the city gate hole, so after Xinna Zhongyuan shouted a few times, the defenders still hid in various places and did not move their feet. In desperation, Xinna Zhongyuan had to personally lead people to the door hole to prepare to block the city gate to prevent the city gate from being broken by the Luo family's army.

It's just that. Just as Shinna Tadagen was commanding a few samurai to pile up a little dirt, the city gate, which had already undergone three rounds of shelling in a row, was finally unable to resist under the previous delay of Shinna Tadamoto. One of the corners of the city gate was suddenly pierced by a cannonball. The cannonballs that pierced the planks of the city gate did not stop, but were thrown forward. It smashed directly on Xinna Zhongyuan's left leg. Shinna Tadamoto, who was almost smashed off his leg, immediately fell to the ground and screamed, and everyone had to urgently carry Shinna Tadashi to the courtyard of Nimaru for treatment, and the command of Waimaru could only be handed over to Saeki Zhenzhong.

"My lord, what's going on outside?" It was the middle-aged monk who sang the song "Guo Sheng" for them last night who healed Xinnazhongyuan. After bandaging Xinna Zhongyuan, the middle-aged monk also asked.

"Alas!" Faced with the middle-aged monk's question, Xinna Zhongyuan didn't know how to answer. The current shape is too dangerous, and Mei Muli City is likely to be attacked by the Luo family's army.

Just when Shinna Tadagen was still sighing, a samurai of the Shimazu family suddenly ran outside the door, and he saw Shinna Tadamoto. He immediately shouted, "My lord, it's not good, the other party has already broken through the gate of Outer Pill Castle." ”

"What?" Xinna Zhongyuan and the middle-aged monk were shocked when they heard this. That's too fast, right? Although I know that I will probably not be able to defend this city this time, I won't lose it so quickly, right? As long as Saeki Zhenzhong replaces his original position of command there according to the request of Ya when he was forcibly carried out of the gate opening, and leads his men to take the risk of blocking the gate hole, then it is definitely impossible for the other party to conquer Waimaru so easily. Could it be that something happened during this period?

"Saeki-sama retreated into Honmaru with the defenders......" the samurai continued.

"......" Xinna Zhongyuan and the middle-aged monk immediately glanced at each other after hearing this, not knowing how to comment.

"Go find a plank and carry me outside. I will personally command the defenders. After pondering for a while, Xinna Zhongyuan immediately ordered.

"Oh no, no......"

Just as Shinna Tadamoto's order was given, another Shimazu samurai rushed in.

"Your Excellency. Oh no, surrender. ”

"What? Surrendered? Say, what the hell is going on? Xinna Zhongyuan's face changed when he heard this. Immediately asked.

"That Saeki-sama opened the gates of Nimaru and surrendered to the enemy." The samurai of the Shimazu family, who had just arrived, said with a sad face.

"Huh?" Xinna Zhongyuan and the middle-aged monk were really bloodless at this time. The shape shì is transformed too quickly. It was only a short time from Xinna Zhongyuan being carried into the courtyard to Fangcai.

"How can this be!" Xinna Zhongyuan panicked in his heart. At this time, he still clearly remembered Saeki Zhenzhong's bold words last night that he was determined to fight to the death with the Luo family, but now he ......

"Kill! Kill ......" Just when Xinna Zhongyuan was panicking, the roar of the Luo family's army was already heard outside the courtyard.

"My lord, quick, run away! The enemy is about to be killed! At this moment, a samurai of the Shimazu family with three arrows in his body rushed in, "The outside is almost unguardable." ”

Xinna Zhongyuan glanced at the comer, who was the close attendant Ichiruo who had been following him, so he shook his head and said, "Run? Hehe! Where to run? Seemingly, let's make some preparations. After signaling Yiruo to stay, Xinna Zhongyuan immediately turned his head and quietly looked at the middle-aged monk beside him. Faced with such a situation, he seemed to have made a decision all of a sudden.

The middle-aged monk had also taken off his battle uniform at this time and was wearing a robe.

"Please, outside the door." Seeing that the middle-aged monk had understood what he meant, Shinna Tadagen immediately looked at the first two Shimazu family samurai who had come in one after another and said.

"Please take care!" The two samurai bowed deeply to Shinna Tadamoto, and then rushed out brandishing their swords. Only the samurai Ichijo, who was hit by three arrows, was left.

"Master, can you pour me a glass of wine?"

"Yes, please wait."

"How? The weather was nice today and I was in a very good mood. After the middle-aged monk took out the wine utensils and wine from a courtyard room, he came to Xinna Zhongyuan and began to prepare the wine slowly and methodically.

In the face of the middle-aged monk's words, Xinna Zhongyuan did not reply, until the monk prepared the wine, and the wine was poured into a beautiful cup in front of Xinna Zhongyuan, Xinna Zhongyuan happily drank three glasses in a row, and then said: "Come, master, it's your turn." ”

The middle-aged monk looked at Xinna Zhongyuan with a meaningful smile on his face, and then he also drank three glasses in a row, and then handed the wine glass to Yiruo. "Come, let me pour you a drink." The latter even took the feather arrow that had just been inserted into his body at this time, and when he saw the wine handed by the monk, he immediately took it respectfully.

The middle-aged monk looked at Yiruo with a smile and drank dry wine, and then said to Xinna Zhongyuan: "My lord, I, a monk, should take the first step and explore the way for you." After speaking, he tore off his clothes, exposed his chest, picked up a knife beside him with an indifferent expression, and stabbed it in the abdomen with a knife.

Xinna Zhongyuan looked at the qiē in front of him and nodded with satisfaction: "Yiruo, you can break it for him." He is worthy of a master and understands my heart. ”

People may not be able to completely free themselves from confusion and attachment after all. The middle-aged monk's seppuku suicide actually contained resentment towards Shinna Chungyuan and despair at the shape in front of him, but Shinna Chungyuan did not think so. Under the sword of Ichiruotai, the head of the middle-aged monk fell to the floor.

"Okay, I'm worthy of Saeki's family. Lord, next, let me be loyal to you! Looking at the blood dripping from the floor, Shinna Chungwon twisted his lips and smiled, "It's my turn." He smiled, closed his eyes quietly, and slowly ripped off his clothes. Wearing a white undershirt, he had a calm attitude and silently raised his sword.

"The enemy is probably about to break into the door." Ruo, who was already standing at the door at this time, reminded again.

When Xinna Zhongyuan heard this, he immediately stabbed the tip of the knife to his left abdomen.

"My lord, I'll help you ......," said Ichiruo, who had watched Shinna Chungwon's suicide by seppuku, come to the courtyard at this time.

"No!" Shinna Chungwon let out a loud shout, twisted his face, and slashed the knife to the right. As if he had cut the vital point, the white cloth wrapped in his abdomen suddenly turned blood-red, and Xinna Zhongyuan's face was like dirt. "Hahaha......" He looked at Ichiruka, as if he wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything. In an instant, the mud on the courtyard floor was soaked in a pool of blood, and Shinna Chungwon fell to the ground and died.

Ichiruo quietly looked at the one in the courtyard, pondered for a while, and finally confirmed that Shinna Tadagen was dead, so he stood up with a knife and circled the corridor a few times.

At this time, the army of the Luo family that rushed into Nimaru was already approaching, and the sound of swords colliding and fighting continued to reach the ears. Of course, Ichijo was ready to die with Shinna Tadamoto, but he didn't know whether to rush to the intruding enemy and die, or commit suicide by seppuku. Just as Ichiruo turned to the third circle, a warrior of the Luo family suddenly rushed into the Jing Garden, and then attacked from Ichiro's back.

"Yikes!" The samurai's spear stabbed Ichijo in the sleeve. Ichijo immediately jumped to the side.

"Wait!" In the face of the warriors of the Luo family, who were chasing after him, Yi Ruo, who was carrying a big sword, seemed to threaten and begged, "I have witnessed the suicide of Lord Shinna Zhongyuan with my own eyes, and I will go with him, and I don't need you to come." If you come closer, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Hearing this, the warrior of the Luo family took a step back, and then saw that there were indeed two corpses and a head in the room, so he hurriedly put away his spear and rushed over there. Obviously, he thinks that the head on the floor belongs to Xinna Zhongyuan, which is a great military feat. Ichijo sat down in front of the stone bench in the courtyard and aimed the knife at his abdomen......

When Ichiruka's body collapsed, the surroundings were already in a scuffle. The karmic fire of the troubled times was not extinguished by the new Na Zhongyuan and the middle-aged monk, but burned more and more. (To be continued......)
