Text Chapter 778 A desperate breakout

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    To be honest, the Imperial Army, which had flintlocks and artillery, was a bit bullying against the Japanese in this era.

    Especially when you have more troops than the opponent.

    ??This is like a child in elementary school bullying a child in kindergarten.

    Children in kindergarten have no power to fight back at all.

    Dozens of solid bullets were fired near the city gate. Only three shells hit the gate, making three circular bullet holes in the gate.

    Although the cannonballs that bombarded the walls near the city gate did not hit their targets, they also showed their incomparable power.

    The walls of the city were blasted with pits one after another, which looked very scary.

    There are no archers in Tianyu City, which puts them in a very passive situation.

    After all, Edo was the residence of the shogun, and there used to be a standing army of more than 40,000 people stationed there.

    Therefore, if everyone is not a human being, no one will come to harm the general.

    Therefore, when it comes to armaments, we are a little more relaxed.

    At the same time, due to some events in Osaka, the shogunate transferred more than half of the standing army in Edo to the expeditionary army to conquer Zhao Hongyu and the others.

    Therefore, the number of troops here in Edo has become less.

    With lax armament and sparse troops, it is normal for the current situation to occur.

    However, even if the Edo side lost half of its troops, they still had half of the 20,000 troops.

    "It's a pity, now those troops can't rescue Tianyu City at all.

    Because the garrison camp was immediately disintegrated after being bombarded from the sea.

    The soldiers were dying and running away. There were only a few soldiers in such a large military camp.

    At the same time, the main road from the military camp to Tianyu City has been blocked by a team of three thousand sailors mobilized by Emma, ??so Tianyu City is completely isolated.

    There are a total of 9,300 troops in the Imperial Landing Army.  They were used to surround Tianyu City in four directions, so there were more than 2,000 soldiers in each direction.

    After the separation, the Imperial Army had much fewer troops.

    But similarly, the number of Japanese soldiers in Tianyu City is not very large.

    ¡°However, it¡¯s only a mere 1,300 people.

    So, the Imperial Army, which divided its forces to surround Tianyu City, still maintains a great advantage in terms of military strength.

    "What should we do? What should we do? Now, if any of you have any idea, tell us what we should do!"

    Ishida Hiroshi was completely in disarray at this time, and the composure he had pretended earlier was gone.

    When he saw the enemies under the city.  After the bombardment of Tianyu City, his confidence was completely shattered.

    ¡°Don¡¯t say it¡¯s him, even the elders and the like are so confused now that they don¡¯t have any good ideas.

    "Breakout!"

    At this time, Raiko came behind Ishida Hiroshi and made a suggestion.

    Breakout!

    Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted by her.

    "Lailaizi, Lailaizi, you have the most ideas. You must think of a good way."

    Before Raiko could explain anything to everyone, Ishida Hiroshi seemed to have found his backbone.  Excited to save Lailaizi.

    After seeing their general¡¯s behavior, all the elders couldn¡¯t help but shook their heads.

    They know that this general of theirs will actually listen to this woman named Lailaizi on everything.

    But they never expected that at such a critical moment.  The general was unable to make a decision and had to listen to this woman again.

    They have begun to feel disgusted with such a general.

    Especially when they thought that they might have to follow this woman¡¯s instructions behind the scenes to do things in the future.  This is something that Japanese gentlemen with rampant machismo cannot accept.

    Coupled with the addition of Raiko's father Takeuchi Jin, some elders began to feel excited.

    Since the last time he said he wanted to punish Takeuchi Jin but failed, some elders have actually complained about it.

    They believe that Ishida Hiroshi is no longer suitable to be the shogun.  Because he always takes orders with a woman.

    At the same time, the elders of the shogunate also learned from various channels that this woman, Rairaiko, was constantly recruiting some unsuccessful lords and daimyo, and asked those lords to be loyal to her, Rairaiko.

    thisWhat is a woman to do?

    This can¡¯t help but make everyone wary.

    Maybe, as someone suggested, Ishida Hiroshi should be abolished.

    Raraiko and Hiroshi Ishida don¡¯t know the thoughts of these important ministers.

    Because the two have been acting like this, they have actually annoyed a lot of people.

    They knew nothing about it.

    Raiko is smart, but she is still a little weak in some aspects.

    As for Ishida Hiroshi, he is even more of a waste.

    However, the important ministers did not take action at this time. After all, their current situation was still very bad.

    Even if they have any ideas, they have to get out of this crisis place, then slowly contact some like-minded people, and then use a relatively mild way to end Ishida Hiroshi's rule.

    "Breakout!"

    Raiko raised her hand and patted Ishida Hiroshi on the back, comforting him and then continued to explain.

    "We can't stay here in Tianyu City for a long time. The enemy's weapons are very powerful, and we are no match at all. Now that they have just surrounded us, we still have a chance"

    Everyone nodded while listening.

    What Lailaizi said is absolutely correct. Even if they are stationed in Tianyu City, what use will they have?

    It is impossible for reinforcements to arrive here in a short time.

    And the enemy has weapons that can make a huge noise and be turned into artillery by the Nanman to attack the city. It is impossible for them to defend Tianyu City.

    Perhaps, before long, they will be attacked by the enemy and enter the city.

    With their sophisticated weapons, the enemy is absolutely impossible to defeat.

    In this case, rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to break out.

    At the very least, you can still have a chance of survival if you break out, but holding on here is a death.

    "I agree!"

    "Reconsideration!"

    "support!"

    "Yes, break out!"

    ¡°No one here is stupid, and some of the joints can be figured out quickly.

    Now that you have figured out these gains and losses.  Then there can be no further delay.

    "Gather the soldiers immediately and we will break out from the north gate and try to disrupt the enemy's deployment before the enemy is completely encircled." The order was very simple. After the order was issued, everyone began to prepare.

    "You take the flag and go with His Highness, and you must protect His Highness's safety." Raiko grabbed Ishida Hiroshi's sleeve and told him seriously.

    Raiko is clear about the relationship between Ishida Hiroshi and the young emperor.

    She didn't think it was anything special.

    "Compared to her relationship with her father Takeuchi Jin, this is nothing.

    and.  At this time in the Japanese country, weren't some daimyo playing with some comely male surnames?

    So, it¡¯s not a big surprise if the shogun and the emperor have fun.

    Ishida Hiroshi nodded repeatedly, saying that he would take good care of the frightened Emperor who was trembling and huddled in the corner like a little quail.

    "Lailaizi, won't you come with us?"

    Suddenly, Ishida Hiroshi seemed to have thought of something.

    Lailaizi smiled: "How is it possible? If I don't leave, will I stay and wait to die? I'm not an idiot." She raised her finger and lightly poked Ishida Hiroshi on the forehead.  .

    "Then what are you waiting for? Let's leave quickly. If it's a little later, it will be too late." When Ishida Hiroshi spoke, he turned back and glanced down from the observation deck.

    He found that the enemy's artillery below was still bombarding him.  However, the Japanese soldiers at the top of the North Gate abandoned their weapons and began to flee down the city wall in a panic.

    At the same time, sawdust from the thick wooden door of the north gate was flying everywhere.  Obviously it is impossible to withstand it.

    Yes, the big wooden door at the north gate is already riddled with holes.

    Such a gate is about to fall down, leaving a big hole for the Imperial Army.

    Behind the city gate, some Japanese soldiers were running back and forth carrying bags made of straw rope.

    They piled those bags at the city gate from generation to generation.

    The purpose of doing this is to block the enemy's attack after the city gate is destroyed.

    "Change the shotgun! Release!"

    This time, the gun??Scatter bullets were used instead of solid bullets.

    After just one round of shelling, the crumbling city gate fell down.

    "go ahead!"

    When the gate of the north gate fell, the genetic commander of the north gate pulled out the sword from his waist and waved it. Then the queue began to move slowly, and the soldiers began to press forward with neat steps.

    When the Imperial Army at the North Gate advanced, a large number of Japanese soldiers also gathered on the streets north of Tianyu City.

    Among these Japanese soldiers, there are also some "immortal" people with luxurious clothes, that is, high-ranking officials.

    However, at this time, they no longer have their usual demeanor.  At this time, each of them was trembling or feeling frightened. In short, it was not normal.

    "rush out!"

    With the roar of a general, the Japanese soldiers who gathered together responded with "Hey!" and rushed outside the gate of Beicheng.

    Because they were considering breaking out of the encirclement, the Japanese pulled down all the Japanese soldiers from the other three directions and concentrated them here in the north of the city.

    In other words, they must concentrate their efforts on one point to create a chance for themselves to survive.

    The two sides that started to advance towards the city gate started an encounter in the north direction of the city.

    One side wants to fight to the death to break through, while the other side wants to enter Tianyu City.

    Therefore, the two sides began a bloody fight at the north gate of Tianyu City.

    The Japanese are still very courageous.

    Unfortunately, they encountered the Imperial Army with sharp weapons.

    From the beginning of the encounter, the massacre was one-sided.

    The troops besieging the city from the other three directions also discovered something strange on the top of the city, so they immediately separated a small group of troops and went to the north of the city to provide support. At the same time, they blocked the city gates in the other three directions, leaving the Japanese with no chance.  Tune the tiger away from the mountain.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
