- "Line up, upper right, volley!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Boom!
The soldiers of the second thousand-man team that rushed up stopped on the winding mountain road, and then they started shooting at the defenders on the third floor in groups of fifty.
With the sound of musketry, the defenders on the third floor were shot and fell from the height.
When the soldiers of the thousand-man team took turns one after another, the attack of the third-level defenders finally slowed down.
Think about it, a team of 1,000 people and a team of 50 people will have to shoot at least 20 times in a round. With these twenty rounds of shooting, it is normal for the defenders on the third floor to be suppressed.
After all, the muskets used by the Guards of the Song Empire were already at the forefront of this era, more than a hundred years ahead of the level of this era.
The emergence of the flintlock gun can be said to be a very powerful weapon added to the Song Empire.
??At least, in conventional warfare, the destructive power of this weapon is very huge.
There won¡¯t be many troops. It depends on what kind of advantage the Song Emperor¡¯s army will take in the confrontation with this weapon.
The defenders of Shiliang City were very lucky. Following the British and Dutch, as well as the Holy Roman Empire on the European continent, they became people who appreciate this weapon.
Although this kind of understanding is a bit hard to accept.
However, they have no way to avoid it.
Boom!
There was a loud noise from the front, and the pass gate from the second defensive circle to the third defensive circle had been destroyed.
There are no longer any obstacles on the road leading to the third layer of defense circle.
"Viscount, we have taken over the second layer of defense now. The third layer is up to you. If we maintain this momentum, maybe we can capture the entire city before dark."
After finishing what he wanted to do, the commander of this thousand-man team looked at his pocket watch, and then said to the stunned Viscount Rodelney.
honestly. Roderny had heard how powerful the Song Emperor's team was, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.
He used to listen to what those British guys said, but he thought those British guys were making excuses for their incompetence.
But now, he completely believed everything those British guys said.
He also understood why the Song Empire was able to expel the British, Dutch and Spanish from the Americas in just two years.
With such a powerful combat power, ordinary armies would have no way to fight against it.
However, Roderney soon became happy again.
the reason is simple. Because Portugal is now an ally with the Song Empire and France. As an ally, isn't it good that our alliance is powerful?
This is certain.
¡°And Rodelny also knows what is happening on the European continent.
Portugal and France are now confronting the church coalition. Although the situation has not worsened, it is obvious that Portugal and France are still facing very dangerous situations.
The Allied Church Army is affiliated with the Habsburg princes and has received financial support from the church.
With the combination of powerful forces, Portugal and France are definitely not able to confront each other.
But it seems like you don¡¯t have to worry about this now.
Because they have a very powerful ally.
Once Portugal and France cannot withstand the offensive of the church coalition, the worst possible scenario is to ask the Song Empire to send reinforcements.
With the Song Empire¡¯s combat power, the Church Alliance will definitely not be their opponent.
¡°Plus the Song Empire is still very richhehehehe.
Just when Roddelny thought of this, he was interrupted by the genetic man commander.
"Uh! Oh~ Okay. I will organize my men immediately and start attacking the third floor!"
Roderny, who came back to his senses, immediately nodded and agreed.
Nonsense, he was originally a mercenary. What they do is to conquer the city and share the worries of the employer.
Now that people have helped him clear the way forward, what happens next will definitely depend on them.
As long as there are no attacks from above and that annoying pass blocking it, then he and his men will be safe. They can completely defeat the Japanese defenders of this castle.
Think about it, after the castle is captured, one-tenth of the wealth in the castle will be?Own. At the same time, one tenth belongs to those subordinates. His heart couldn't help but become hot.
"Brothers, work harder and kill these dwarfs!"
Roderny raised the knight sword in his hand high, and then roared loudly.
"Hey!"
A group of Portuguese mercenaries responded in unison, and then they quickly formed a team, then formed an attack formation and began to rush towards the third layer of defense circle.
I have to say that the physical fitness of Europeans is really good. None of these animals have grown so big in vain.
They have been fighting the defenders on the first and second floors continuously, and they have also run two floors of circling inner city mountain roads, but these guys don't look even a little tired.
If they can maintain this state, maybe they can really capture Shiliang City before dark.
Looking at the Portuguese mercenaries who kept shouting and rushing up the winding mountain road in the inner city, the genetic commander of the empire thought to himself.
"Come here, report the situation here to His Highness. At the same time, please ask for instructions whether we need to continue to help the Portuguese mercenary group and clear the obstacles on their way. And I hope that Your Highness can mobilize the first-level teams and let them divide their troops to prepare. Take over the position of the third defensive circle."¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"Let the commander of the first legion divide his troops and send 700 people to take over the third level, and then continue to divide his troops and send 400 people to take over the fourth level. At the same time, tell the commander of the second legion to also divide up the 700 people. The team is coming, ready to take over the fifth level, and then divide the troops into four hundred to take over the sixth level. And each level will help those Portuguese guys to solve the obstacles on the way to the charge. Anyway, just let them fight hard at the front."
After Zhao Hongyu received the request from the commander of the Second Army Corps, he immediately issued the order.
The fighting has been going on for half an hour now.
The attack in the past half hour went very smoothly, so Zhao Hongyu felt that it was only a matter of time before Shiliang City fell.
therefore. He is in a very good mood now.
Just like what the commander of the Second Army said, Zhao Hongyu personally estimated that Shiliang City would be under his control before sunset.
It¡¯s now around one o¡¯clock in the afternoon, and there are still a few hours until sunset.
After receiving the order, the messenger quickly left the camp and returned to Shiliang City to convey Zhao Hongyu's order.
When the garrison commander on the first floor received the order, he immediately separated a team of 700 people and assigned two officers to assign tasks to them.
The same is true for the commanders on the second level.
At the top of the city on the first and second floors, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard took action one after another.
And Zhao Hongyu, who was in the camp outside the city, picked up a monocular telescope. I started to carefully look at some of the situations starting from the fourth floor.
Because the second floor fell too quickly, when the reinforcements sent by Saburo Toyaya just arrived at the fifth floor, they had already lost the goal and necessity of assistance.
To this end, the reinforcements stopped and sent people back to the top for guidance.
Faced with this situation, Toyotani Saburo also lost his bearings.
He never imagined that these enemies could be so powerful and have such unexpected methods.
In such a short period of time, two layers of defense circles were captured. And there hasn't been much damage.
The third floor is now in danger and is about to fall.
So, it is obviously very unrealistic for reinforcements to go to the third level now.
Thinking of this. Saburo Toyaya decided to have reinforcements reinforce the fourth floor.
Although the three layers of defensive positions below have been lost, as long as you hold on to the fourth layer, Shiliang City will still be strong.
after all. The reason why the defense circle on the lower three floors was lost so quickly had something to do with the previous shelling by the enemy.
If it weren¡¯t for those three rounds of shelling, the defenders on the three floors below would be there. It won't be so miserable.
You must know that the three rounds of shelling just now destroyed many defensive facilities and equipment on the city head. And it killed a lot of defenders, so the defensive positions on the lower three floors were weakened a lot.
But the defense circle on the third floor was not bombarded.
Therefore, Saburo Toyaya feels that when the enemy attacks the fourth floor, its offensive will definitely weaken.
¡°Order!, all young and strong people, ??Invest the defense facilities on the fourth floor. We must block the enemy on the fourth floor and not let them continue to rush up. "
oh!
The generals around Toyotani Saburo shouted in unison. Then, under the leadership of Toyotani Saburo, they rushed down the spiral road.
Toyaya Saburo has no choice. If he doesn't do this, his own morale will be destroyed bit by bit by the enemy.
An army without morale will have unexpected things happen.
Things like surrender might happen.
Toyaya Saburo didn¡¯t want to see such a thing, so he decided to lead the team himself and inflict a heavy blow to the enemy on the fourth floor. In this way, it can not only alleviate the enemy's offensive, but also cause powerful damage and heavy losses to the enemy. He was also able to use small victories to give the defenders some confidence and courage.
Yes, Toyotani Saburo is not a fool, and his judgment is very accurate now.
When Zhao Hongyu and the others captured two defensive circles one after another and began to attack the third floor, the morale of the defenders of Shiliang City had dropped to the extreme.
At the same time, the defenders began to waver in their hearts.
"Do the soldiers and young men even think that it is necessary to hold on like this?"
Maybe, surrendering is also a good choice.
¡°It seems that there are not many people who have such ideas, but they are beginning to appear.
Because they saw that the enemy was too powerful and broke through what they thought was a solid defensive position. This shocked them too much.
How long has it been since the enemy broke through in two places?
And it¡¯s so easy to break through.
At this speed, it is obviously not impossible for them to break through nine passes and capture Shiliang City.
This person is afraid of random thoughts.
As long as you think about it, your heart will become confused.
Because Zhao Hongyu and others showed extraordinary strength, the Japanese defenders also began to doubt whether they could defend this "unfallen city".
It can be seen that their confidence is gone.
This is a very dangerous thing.
Just as Toyotani Saburo was worried about, once the morale of the defenders was shaken.
So as long as a group of people surrender appear, it will cause a series of reactions that are out of control.
At that time, even if you are a god, you will not be able to turn the tide.
But now he still has a chance.
As long as you can win a small victory and withstand the enemy's offensive, then these wavering people will become firm.
Because at that time, they will see that the enemy is not actually that powerful.
They are just like themselves, they are also people of flesh and blood, and they will die on the battlefield, no different.
He must let everyone see this.
It has to be said that Toyotani Saburo is still a wise general.
Although he himself was shocked by the enemy's offensive and fighting power, and his heart was in a mess.
However, at such a critical moment, he can still make a correct judgment and decision.
"Toyotani Saburo was shocked only because he did not understand the damage and power caused by thermal weapons.
This is the gap in times and generation gap, so Saburo Toyaya cannot be blamed.
"If Saburo Toyaya had also received some modern education and knowledge, he would have understood some of the conditions and performance of modern thermal weapons.
Then, he wouldn¡¯t be so shocked.
But after all, Saburo Toyaya was just a native of the Eastern Japanese country in the seventeenth century.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to know this knowledge.
Zhao Hongyu clearly saw the strange movements in Shiliang City through the telescope.
Saburo Toyotani on the top floor brought the last elite soldiers and thousands of young men to the lower levels. Zhao Hongyu saw all of this through the telescope.
On the side, Emma, ??Sara and the others were also observing the situation in Shiliang Castle with telescopes.
Emma was just watching the fun, after all, she didn¡¯t understand military issues.
Therefore, she would not interrupt randomly at a time like this.
The little girl knows how to measure things well, doesn¡¯t she?
But because Sarah is a European female aristocrat, she has learned some military skills since she was a child.With the above knowledge, she seemed to have judged something about the unusual movements in Shiliang City.
At this time, before Sara could inform Zhao Hongyu of her judgment, Zhao Hongyu turned to Hattori Chizuru beside him and spoke: "Qianzuru, let the Iga people take action. I think as long as we solve the problem If the generals in Shiliang City are defeated, the remaining defenders will have little fighting spirit." (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
