Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Saburo Toyaya on the top of the mountain also noticed it during the bombardment.

    He had a solemn expression on his face at this time, staring at Zhao Hongyu's position outside the city without saying a word. He didn't know what he was thinking about now.

    Is this the rumored weapon that resembles the wrath of the God of Thunder?

    Toyaya Saburo thought to himself.

    Yes, since Yamaguchi Shigenobu was defeated and returned to the Satsuma Domain, the remnant soldiers who followed his defeat continued to tell people what they encountered in Mirokuhara.

    ???????????????? For example, loud noises like the God of Thunder beating drums, and weapons that emit flames.

    As well as the scattered limbs and broken arms all over the sky, as well as the scene of blood and flesh flying all over the Satsuma Domain.

    Even here in Shiliang City, before Zhao Hongyu¡¯s army arrived, with the arrival of businessmen and travelers, a lot of news about this was received.

    As the guardian of Shiliang Castle, Toyotani Saburo will also know these things.

    It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t really believe these things at first.

    In his opinion, there might be other factors that led to the failure of the war in Maitreya.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT OUT out of the blue, the big names in each family have their own agendas and don¡¯t work together.

    Or internal strife or other things will lead to final failure.

    ¡° Ten thousand people defeating 150,000 people is simply a fantasy and impossible.

    Even if a pig leads 150,000 people to attack an enemy of less than 10,000 people, it is impossible for him to suffer such a defeat.

    And are those famous people worse than a pig?

    However, as Zhao Hongyu began to adjust the artillery and tried to bombard Shiliang City, many things were no longer within Toyaya Saburo's control.

    "Load the gunpowder! Clean the barrel! Prepare the second artillery, light it!"

    Boom!

    Peng!  Wow!

    The second artillery piece started firing, also with explosive shells.

    However, this time the muzzle was slightly raised, so the impact point of the shell was much higher than the previous one.

    But this cannonball still did not cause any damage to the defenders on the city head. The shattered cannonballs still hit the city wall in pieces.

    But even so, the defenders on the walls of the first defensive circle were startled.

    They have never experienced such a weapons bombardment. This is something they have never experienced before.

    For the Japanese soldiers in the cold weapon era, it seemed like they were attacked by artillery from the beginning, which was still a bit too advanced.

    They are all familiar with cold weapon fighting, and they have no idea that there is such a way of fighting.

    "However, the serious battle has not yet begun.

    "When Zhao Hongyu really lets the army launch an attack, the scene will definitely be much bigger than now.

    According to the thinking and concepts of the defenders of Shiliang City, if the enemies under the city want to attack, they should prepare some catapults, siege cones, and some carts.

    Otherwise, how could they attack the city?

    This is the mainstream style of play in our country, and it is also very popular in the Eastern Continent.

    At the very least, you should prepare a lot of ladders.

    But the enemies below the city did not prepare these things at all.

    So, the defenders of Shiliang City have no idea how the enemy is going to attack Shiliang City?

    Is it possible that the enemy wants to fill it with their own flesh and blood?

    ?Obviously, this is impossible.

    "Your Highness, Shiliang City can enter the coverage area of ????artillery, so I would like to ask if all the artillery from the rear can be mobilized to prepare for a full-scale vitality coverage of Shiliang City?"

    After firing from the two artillery pieces, the gunners in front already knew what was going on.

    Shiliang City is completely within the shooting range of the artillery, so they have nothing to worry about.

    Although the environment near the city is not conducive to the neat deployment of artillery, it is enough as long as the artillery shells can be fired to Shiliang City and wherever they go, right?

    Zhao Hongyu had been observing the results of the shelling with a telescope, so he nodded.

    "Yes, grant the request. Bring up all the artillery in the rear. Since we can't attack by force now, let the other side have a taste of artillery volleys to dispel their will to fight."

    After a period of observation, Zhao Hongyu found that Shi LiangThe morale of the defenders in the city is still relatively high.

    They soldiers did not want to surrender, but looked like they would fight to the end.

    Therefore, under such circumstances, Zhao Hongyu was unwilling to invest troops in a brutal siege.

    Although Zhao Hongyu is not an overly merciful guy, is there anything wrong with being able to reduce some losses?

    After Zhao Hongyu¡¯s order, more than a hundred artillery pieces from the rear began to be slowly moved up and placed crookedly in front.

    Because the surrounding environment is not very good, the placement of the artillery seems very awkward and not neat at all.

    However, this is not a big problem for Zhao Hongyu, as long as the artillery can bombard Shiliang City.

    "Clean the barrel and load the gunpowder!"

    As the artillery pieces entered their positions, the gunners of each artillery piece began busy preparations.

    For these artillerymen, what they have to do now is very simple, that is, just keep bombarding Shiliang City. At the same time, they have to constantly adjust the muzzle of the artillery through shelling so that the artillery can cause maximum damage to Shiliang City.  force.

    Next, as the artillerymen completed their preparations, artillery pieces began to bombard Shiliang City one by one.

    "Everyone, listen to me. Just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Song Empire has promised that after we conquer the Eastern Castle in front of us, he will add another reward to the salary he promised to give you. That is to bring this  Take one-tenth of the wealth in the castle and share it equally with everyone, everyone has a share!"

    Long live!

    Long live Baron Roderney!

    Long live the Crown Prince!

    When Baron Roderney told his subordinates about the new reward offered by Zhao Hongyu, the Portuguese mercenaries immediately cheered.

    They were so happy.

    Because the rewards given to the crown prince of the Song Empire are really exciting.

    No matter what, one-tenth of the wealth in a castle is definitely not too little.

    " Moreover, the reward given by others has a basis.

    ??It means that after they get their salary, they will get dividends if they conquer the city.

    So, how could everyone be unhappy?

    "I think everyone understands, and everyone has seen this castle. It is definitely not easy to conquer, so many of our compatriots may die."

    Roddelny¡¯s gaze slowly swept across the faces of his companions.

    "We are mercenaries, people who use our lives in exchange for wealth. We are not afraid of death, and we are aware of death. Lord Rodelny, don't worry, we will not be embarrassed."

    Roderney still needs to make it clear to his subordinates about some things.

    He already knew the danger of this battle from Zhao Hongyu.

    Therefore, he was worried that his subordinates would suddenly lose control during the battle and leave a bad impression on His Highness, which would greatly affect the relationship between him and His Highness.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????? If people like himself are disgraced, then the crown prince will look down upon them very much in the future.

    If you look down on them, future cooperation will be greatly affected.

    Roderney doesn¡¯t want to see this happen.

    Therefore, he now needs to remove some less determined people from the team.

    And those who stay will be guys who dare to fight.

    Even Roderny himself decided that when the siege began, he would lead the charge.

    No matter what, we must leave a good impression on the crown prince.

    If he, Roderny, dies in battle, it will be his own bad luck.

    But as long as he survives, his relationship with the crown prince will definitely become much closer.

    At the same time, create a better relationship for his cooperation with the crown prince.

    People have to work hard.

    Although there will be dangers, the future will be bright if you work hard. If you don't work hard, then there is nothing to say.

    When Roddelny¡¯s words came out, he immediately aroused responses from his subordinates.

    Everyone said that everyone will definitely work hard to earn this wealth and will not embarrass the Portuguese.

    The crown prince of the Song Empire was able to offer such a generous price. As a man who relied on fighting to make money,The mercenaries are still afraid. Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?

    For a time, the fighting spirit of the Portuguese was high.

    Roderny nodded secretly.

    With the military morale available, it depends on when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to find a flaw in the castle opposite.

    For Roddelny, his sense of Zhao Hongyu is still very good.

    Because few employers would care about the lives of mercenaries like Zhao Hongyu.

    Perhaps, this is the only one Roderney knows.

    Therefore, he also took this opportunity to convey Zhao Hongyu's words to his companions.

    And following Rodelney¡¯s narration, all the Portuguese mercenaries felt warm in their hearts.

    Yes, they also long to be cared about, but they have never gotten this kind of care.

    Therefore, all Portuguese people express their gratitude to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s ¡®kindness¡¯ from the bottom of their hearts.

    However, the only thing they can repay to His Highness is their courage.

    "Brothers, this crown prince can actually think about us. There are not many people like him. What I want to say is that he is a good man, a kind and upright man. So in return, we  I showed my courage in the battle and fought bravely."

    As soon as Roderny finished speaking, the shelling on the other side began.

    Boom!  boom!  Boom boom boom!

    As soon as the bombardment started, it attracted the attention of Roderny and others.

    Everyone turned their heads and looked over, and saw more than a hundred artillery pieces firing one after another, firing shells at Shiliang City.

    Wow!

    The artillery of the Song Empire was so sophisticated and so powerful.

    When the shells exploded near Shiliang City, the Portuguese opened their eyes wide and exclaimed in wonder.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
