- "Master Yuuji, the losses of the Second Corps have been heavy. Should we ask them to withdraw now? If they continue to attack like this, they will probably be wiped out."
The second regiment of the Imperial Alliance Army, which had just risen from the city in front, was braving arrows and launching a charge at the gate of Okazaki Castle. They carried the wood and kept hitting the gate of Okazaki Castle, paying a heavy price for this.
Of more than 700 soldiers, more than 100 were lost after a short charge.
If Yuji Kawabe lets them continue to attack, the remaining people will be wiped out soon.
"Are the artillery ready? If so, let them withdraw temporarily. When the city gate is blasted later, they will be needed for the charge."
Yuji Kawabe is a bad guy. In fact, he clearly has artillery available. He could have waited until the artillery knocked down the gate of Okazaki Castle before letting the Second Corps start the attack. However, he just let the Second Corps attack at this time. The charge was launched, thus causing the Second Corps to lose a lot of men.
However, for Kawabe Yuuji, this issue cannot be thought of in this way.
In fact, he also took this opportunity to let the Second Corps prove their loyalty.
¡°Otherwise, God knows if they will betray themselves in the future.
Woo! Woo! Woo!
As the artillery in the rear was loaded, a soldier raised the conch horn and blew it.
The soldiers of the Second Corps who were crowded at the city gate heard the sound of the trumpet and immediately withdrew as if they had been granted amnesty.
In fact, they have wanted to retreat for a long time. If they had not thought of the consequences of retreat, then they would have retreated long ago and would not have persisted until now.
The second regiment that was torn off stopped again outside the killing range of Okazaki Castle's bows and arrows, and then organized its queue.
Kawabe Yuuji asked the messenger to convey his order.
Therefore, they all know that the Second Corps will launch an attack later.
They dare not disobey such an order.
??This is the fate of those who are prisoners and want to surrender at the same time.
So no one has any grudges.
The Japanese are better at this. They are willing to accept their fate. Once they accept their fate, they will be very honest.
The third bombardment began, but half of the artillery shells were replaced with blooming shot shells.
This kind of explosive bullet covers a large area and is very lethal to the soldiers stationed at the top of Okazaki Castle.
When the Second Corps attacked just now, Yuji Kawabe had observed clearly from the rear.
There are a large number of archers at the top of Okazaki Castle.
"If they wait a while for the gate of Okazaki Castle to fall and they launch an attack, these archers will definitely cause great losses to their own side.
Therefore, in order to reduce unnecessary losses and save the precious lives of the musketeers, it is necessary to kill the archers on the top of Okazaki Castle.
This is also the reason why Kawabe Yuuji dispatched the Second Corps earlier.
In addition to being good cannon fodder, the Second Corps is also a chess piece and tool to test Okazaki Castle's defensive strength.
As beings at the bottom, they cannot escape this fate.
Fortunately, after a round of charge, Yuji Kawabe has tested the defensive strength at the top of Okazaki Castle and made a response.
"Master Yuuji, we are now attacking the gate on this side of Okazaki Castle with all our strength, but there are still three gates where we have not sent troops. Will this allow the defenders in Okazaki Castle to take advantage of it and bring us a lot of trouble? There¡¯s trouble.¡±
At this time, Tokugawa Kayo came to the side of Yuji Kawabe and asked worriedly.
Yes, with the addition of the second corps converted from Kyushu prisoners under their command, their strength now exceeds 3,000. It is simply impossible to surround Okazaki Castle with such a small force.
Therefore, they could only gather all their forces and attack Okazaki Castle in one direction.
If the troops are too dispersed, it will be very dangerous.
"Probably not. The enemy has no morale now, so I think they don't have the courage to take the initiative to fight with us. Judging from the opponent's current reaction, they should want to defend Okazaki Castle and delay the fight with us. Fighting. Because we are not from Kyushu, there is no way to obtain supplies in Kyushu. It will not be good for us if we are trapped in a long battle. "
"The fat Yuji Kawabe basically understands Fujita's thoughts."Breasts.
Although he listened to Yuji Kawabe¡¯s words, Tokugawa Kayo still had some worries in this regard. After all, everything is possible.
Kawabe Yuuji looked at Tokugawa Kayo frowning, looking very worried, and continued: "Well, since you are worried about this, miss, let's pay more attention to it. In fact, for me Generally speaking, we still hope that the opponent can go out of the city to fight in the field. After all, with our strength, field battles can completely eliminate more of the opponent's effective forces. If the losses are too great, then they will not be able to have enough troops to defend the hill. It¡¯s rough.¡±
Kawabe Yuuji was telling the truth. In fact, he really hoped that the people of Okazaki Castle could come out and engage in field battles with them instead of defending the city.
After all, when fighting in the wild, your own troops have a great advantage.
This is something that the army in Okazaki Castle does not possess.
"Don't say that they only have a strength of more than 13,000 people. Even 20,000 people do not pose much of a threat.
The two thousand Imperial Army troops sent by Zhao Hongyu can definitely handle it. Kawabe Yuuji has great confidence in this.
"Miss, don't forget that with less than 10,000 troops, we defeated the Kyushu Allied Forces with 150,000 troops in Mirokuhara. Therefore, our 3,000 troops faced the 10,000 troops in Okazaki Castle. Many enemies are more than enough."
Yuji Kawabe mentioned the Battle of Mirokuhara, which suddenly woke up Tokugawa Kayo.
Yes, the fat man Yuuji Kawabe is right.
Maitreya, we have so many enemies, we can defeat them all. There are only 10,000 people here in Okazaki Castle, so what do I have to worry about? There is absolutely no need.
Therefore, after listening to Kawabe Yuuji's analysis, the Tokugawa clan leader nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that I really don't have to worry about the enemies in Okazaki City. As you said, if they can go out of the city to fight, , but it will be of great benefit to us."
Kawabe Yuuji smiled slightly, then turned his head and continued to stare in the direction of Okazaki Castle.
After the third round of shelling, the top of Okazaki Castle was in mourning.
Under the power of the explosive bombs, the defenders defending the head of Okazaki Castle suffered heavy losses.
This time, they truly understood what it means to be bloody and cruel.
This is completely beyond their imagination.
Under the power of thermal weapons, the body appears so fragile. No matter how brave you were, there is no room for you to show off under the attack of this kind of weapon.
When the bombardment stopped, two-thirds of the defenders on the city were wiped out, and there were almost no people left standing. The remaining third was also injured to varying degrees, or else just stood there stupidly and looked like he had collapsed.
The gate of Okazaki Castle collapsed during the third bombardment.
It only took three shellings, and the city gate on this side had already been blown down.
In fact, this is normal. Artillery is still very powerful in this era.
"Get ready, the Second Corps attacks!"
What Tokugawa Kayo was worried about did not appear. At the same time, the gate of Okazaki Castle was gone.
The current Okazaki Castle is waiting for its owner to enter.
After receiving the order, the Second Corps roared and rushed toward the gate of Okazaki Castle.
"Charge into Okazaki Castle, and the army will plunder for a day! The Crown Prince has given the order, everyone rush!"
What made the soldiers even more excited was the voice shouted from behind by Yuuji Kawabe, which immediately boosted everyone's spirits.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Capture Okazaki Castle and plunder for a day!
As the capital of the Miyazaki territory, Okazaki Castle is relatively wealthy.
Although it can¡¯t be compared with a city like Nagasaki, it¡¯s not that bad either.
If you can rob Okazaki Castle for one day, God knows how much wealth you can get.
Isn¡¯t this why I served as a soldier abroad and now I have abandoned my motherland?
Since the crown prince has given the order, what else can he hesitate about?
??Surge into Okazaki Castle and steal money, food, and women.
Under the impact of such thoughts, the soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Corps of the Imperial Alliance Army became excited.
There are many mansions of Fujita family retainers in Okazaki Castle, and their families have a lot of wealth and treasures.
And the families of these retainers are also in Okazaki Castle. If you are lucky, you can even grab the young lady of a high-ranking wealthy family, that will be??Dead.
You know, under normal circumstances, women like this would just think about it when they dream. But now there is such an opportunity in front of them, so how can these losers not be excited.
Of course, if they want to rob wealth and women, they first need to get rid of the defenders in Okazaki Castle.
Otherwise, all this is empty talk.
¡°After all, people won¡¯t just stand there stupidly and let you grab them.
Since this is the case, what else is there to consider? Kill! kill! kill! That¡¯s it.
Kill all the enemies in front of you, and then rob their women and money.
The soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army, whose brains were filled with women and money, doubled their combat effectiveness out of thin air.
Tokugawa Kayo, who felt his morale rising, was really speechless about this.
"Is this good? Will it have a great impact on our future rule of Miyazaki?" Tokugawa Yoshiro frowned and whispered to Hattori Kizo.
Hattori Kizo shook his head: "No, miss, Kawabe Yuuji is right. What we want now is to capture Okazaki Castle and then control the Miyazaki territory. As for other things, they are secondary. As long as we can With the help of the Crown Prince, we defeated the 11 and 13 great names of Kyushu, and then these civilians had no choice but to accept their fate. What we have to do now is to show everyone the posture of a strong man, and let them realize that offending us is a mistake. It¡¯s a very unwise thing, and it also establishes the fierce brand of the Tokugawa family.¡± (To be continued.
