- Begin the siege!
Outside Okazaki Castle, Tokugawa Kayo and his party have already formed their formation.
Fifty artillery pieces lined up and began the bombardment of Okazaki Castle.
Amidst the earth-shaking noise, dozens of solid bullets hit the walls and gates of Okazaki Castle.
To be honest, the defenders at the top of Okazaki Castle have never seen such a formation. So their faces suddenly changed with fright, and they were trembling all over.
The peace envoy sent by Fujita High School was beheaded by Tokugawa Kayo on the order.
Based on the current occupation and situation, Tokugawa Kayo is unwilling to negotiate peace with Fujita Koji. Although after the peace talks with Fujita Koji, it was easy to enter Okazaki Castle.
¡° However, this will set up a very big obstacle to control the entire Miyazaki territory.
At the same time, the presence of Fujita High School sophomore will also be very detrimental to future rule.
You must know that the reason why Fujita High School has proposed a truce and peace talks is that the current situation is already very unfavorable for him.
It was precisely because of such unfavorable reasons that he had no choice but to call a truce.
Therefore, if there is a chance in the future, then we have to guard against this guy possibly rebelling.
Therefore, it would be better to take this opportunity to eradicate the Fujita family from Miyazaki in one fell swoop and eliminate this scourge.
Even though Tokugawa Kayo didn¡¯t understand military matters very well, she was still very clear about some political matters.
??Besides, even if Tokugawa Kayo can't understand, Hattori Kizo and Kawabe Yuuji are not free.
Therefore, the envoy sent by Fujita Takaoji was completely tragic.
In this way, Tokugawa Kayo also proved his determination to solve the Fujita family.
After the news came back to Okazaki Castle, Fujita High School student was extremely frightened.
But now, what can he do?
He has missed his last chance, and now he can only continue to hide in Okazaki Castle and linger.
"If he returns to Okazaki Castle, abandons Okazaki as soon as possible, and then leads the army to northern Kyushu, he may still have a chance to breathe and survive.
"However, this guy couldn't let go of everything he enjoyed now, so he missed the last chance to survive and he couldn't blame others.
Okazaki Castle is very large, and it is impossible to completely surround Okazaki Castle with just Tokugawa Kayo and others.
Therefore, if Fujita, a sophomore in high school, can seize this opportunity, then he might still have a slight chance of survival.
However, after the messenger was beheaded, Fujita Gaoji became devastated and lost his former shrewdness. He hid in his residence and began to pray to gods and Buddhas.
This allowed a great opportunity to slip away from him.
¡°For Fujita, a sophomore, he can only be described as a man who has made his own mistakes and cannot survive.
Tokugawa Kayo and the others arrived at Okazaki Castle at around four o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as they arrived at Okazaki Castle, they set up a formation and began to attack Okazaki Castle.
This was what Yuji Kawabe suggested. He didn¡¯t want to give the other party too much time to react.
According to Kawabe Yuuji¡¯s judgment, although there are still more than 10,000 defenders in Okazaki Castle, they are all militiamen who have not undergone strict training, so there is nothing to fear.
With powerful artillery, it is quite easy to open the gate of Okazaki Castle.
As long as the gate of Okazaki Castle can be breached, the defenders of Okazaki Castle, who now have little morale, will be easily defeated.
Therefore, Okazaki Castle is not so difficult to fall.
As long as Okazaki Castle can be captured, in the name of the Tokugawa family, the people in the city can be quickly stabilized, and attacks on other areas of the Miyazaki territory can begin in a short period of time.
According to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s original plan, capturing Miyazaki within seven days is not such a difficult task.
¡°Whether it is Tokugawa Kayo or Kawabe Yuji, both of them want to take this opportunity to perform well, and want to complete this combat mission perfectly, so that Zhao Hongyu will take a high look at themselves.
The city wall of Okazaki Castle, with stone chips flying under the bombardment of artillery, basically a solid bullet can leave a deep dent in the wall.
It may be because the bombardment has just started and the accuracy is not enough, so very few shells can hit the target in the first bombardment.
But even so, let the defenseThe defenders at the head of Okazaki Castle were frightened and their legs were shaking uncontrollably.
They have never seen such weapons or such methods of siege.
The sieges here in the Japanese country basically surrounded the entire city first, and then entered a long confrontation. The enemy and we would constantly look for opportunities to launch an attack.
But these enemies were different. They started to attack as soon as they arrived at the city.
And, instead of using infantry, they used a powerful weapon to bombard the city wall.
This weapon is so powerful that it will make a thunderous sound when used. At the same time, it can blast a big hole in the city wall, making people feel weak after seeing it.
Even the stones on the city wall will be blasted away, let alone if they are made of flesh and blood.
The generals on the top of the city kept shouting loudly, scolding the militiamen who were beginning to feel fear in their hearts. Although these generals were also very scared, they were all warriors after all.
Under the scolding of these generals, the morale of the military at the top of Okazaki Castle was finally stabilized.
But anyone who is not a fool will know that the soldiers cannot remain stable under such bombardment for too long.
If attacks like this happen a few more times, these soldiers will definitely collapse.
But the problem is that they have no control over these things, and the initiative is not in their hands.
So, soon, they ushered in the second bombardment.
With the thundering sound of cannons, fifty solid bullets flew out of the barrel again, shooting straight at the walls and gates of Okazaki Castle.
After the first shelling, the gunners adjusted the muzzle of the artillery, so the second shelling became more accurate than the last time.
Six of the fifty shells hit the gate of Okazaki Castle, penetrating the gate of Okazaki Castle and leaving a big hole. The remaining cannonballs hit the crenellations of the city wall, shattering the crenellations with relatively weak defense.
The blast of gravel caused great damage to the defenders at the top of the city.
Some soldiers were even thrown to the bottom of the city, or were beaten beyond recognition by gravel. What's more, even their skulls were opened by gravel, and their white brains flowed all over the floor.
This scene greatly shocked the militiamen who defended the city.
Strictly speaking, scenes like this are much smaller than the scenes in the Mirokuhara battle.
" In terms of the cruelty of blood and flesh flying around, this is nothing.
"However, a militia is a militia. When it comes to discipline, it is not even a little bit worse than the regular army.
After the two shellings, the defenders on the top of the city became completely chaotic.
To be honest, they would rather rush out of the city and fight the enemy face to face than huddle on top of the city and let the enemy attack them like this.
"The Second Legion of the Imperial Alliance Army, attack!"
As the gunners began to load gunpowder and shells, the third bombardment was about to begin.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Kawabe Yuuji ordered the surrendered Kyushu captive soldiers to begin attacking Okazaki Castle.
These guys are now like cannon fodder to Kawabe Yuuji.
Although they said they surrendered, Yuji Kawabe has always expressed cautious confidence in their loyalty.
Now is an opportunity to prove their loyalty, that is, as the first wave of troops to attack Okazaki Castle.
As long as they can survive this attack, they will be qualified to gain a little trust from Yuji Kawabe and change their living conditions.
For being the first wave of siege troops, these Kyushu captive soldiers did not have much resentment in their hearts.
Because they all know very well that as prisoners of the losing side, it is actually normal to do these things.
They were still wearing Kyushu-style attire at this time. They were holding the spears and samurai swords that had just come down. They lined up in a neat queue. With a slogan, they began to charge at the gate of Okazaki Castle.
To be honest, their equipment is much worse than that of the Imperial Alliance Army.
They had no riot suits, helmets, or boots, so they were unable to cope with the counterattack at the top of Okazaki Castle.
"Archers, prepare! Shoot!"
When the Kyushu captured soldiers, now organized into the Second Legion of the Imperial Alliance Army, they immediately ushered in Okazaki Castle.A rain of arrows shot from the head.
Because of the lack of effective protective measures, this team fell many people on the way to the charge.
However, they did not dare to retreat at all, because if they retreated, death would be waiting for them.
They are prisoners themselves. Although they have taken refuge in the forces that captured them, they will not be valued. Even because they have nothing to show for others to trust them, their status is actually no different from that of prisoners.
Just like just now, they were untied just when they were about to launch an attack.
Therefore, I want to change my destiny and gain the trust of others. So now they have to use all their strength to fight to the death with the defenders of Okazaki Castle.
Only in this way can we prove that they have really taken refuge in each other.
In this process, they all understand that their companions or themselves will die, but at least this is an opportunity, right?
If they don¡¯t seize this opportunity, they will all be prisoners without status in the future. Even if you say you surrender, others won't accept it.
If nothing happens, why would you accept a waste?
??Everyone understands this truth and is very clear about it.
Braving the sky full of arrows, the Second Corps of the Imperial Alliance Army launched a fierce charge (To be continued.
