Lang Ping shook his head: "Impossible, as soon as the city gate is opened, there will be chaos in front of the city wall, and it is easy to go wrong, General Qian, you will go and check it out for yourself, if those women and children are really the Song people who were taken captive to Wadao......
Just tell them that the Great Song will avenge them. ”After Qian Man listened, he lowered his head silently.The samurai pressed the women and children as they slowly approached Matsuzaka Castle."
Ladies and gentlemen, when you see your generals of the Great Song Dynasty, you should know what you are going to say, as long as they withdraw from Wajima, Lord Fujiwara can guarantee to let you go back to the Great Song Dynasty."
The leading samurai spoke in Song.The women were still sobbing lowly, looking at Matsuzaka City which was getting closer and closer, everyone's eyes were full of complexity, they were all women living in coastal villages, because of the looting of the Japanese people, they were all captured on the Japanese island, and gave birth to children to the Japanese people, but I didn't expect that one day, there would be a chance to return to the Great Song Dynasty......
Seeing that these women didn't speak, they just cried, and the Japanese warrior continued: "Don't think that the Song general will save you, see the cavalry behind, if you dare to cause trouble, they will rush up and hack you to death, you yourself are not afraid of death, but what about your children." ”"Besides, Lord Fujiwara's requirements are not high, just let Song Jun retreat, this is originally our land."
After a few words, the samurai had already pressed everyone to a place not far from the city gate, and from this angle he could already see the muskets in the hands of the soldiers on the city wall.All eyes were on the rows of women and children.Anyone can guess that these people are most likely Song women and children.Lang Ping's words came to his lips, his lips moved for a long time, but he still didn't say anything, and turned his head to look at the sergeant behind him: "Go and ask the general to come over and decide." ”The sergeant left as soon as he received the order."
Everyone, you can see clearly, which one is standing at the front, it is Zhu Qiming's deputy general Lang Ping, and the narrator is called Zhang Lan, this one, one name, you all have to take care of it, if they don't let you live, don't come to us when you die."
The Japanese warrior said loudly in Song.The women and children all looked upstairs with confused expressions, would they really save themselves?
At this time, the gates of Matsuzaka Castle slowly opened, and a general who did not know the Japanese people ran out on horseback.When the general came out, he looked at the women and children in front of him, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.In fact, Tie Xi has succeeded to the throne for so many years, and has instilled in everyone more than once that the importance of the people of the Great Song Dynasty is that if they don't have no choice, they will definitely save them."
No matter how big you are, Song Ke still has a family, if you have one, you can say your name, and when the army class goes back, the general will personally hand over the roster to Your Majesty."
As soon as the general's words fell, all the women showed expressions of despair.Was he abandoned by his mother, was he abandoned by the Great Song Dynasty, and was he abandoned by the people?
When the Japanese warriors heard this, their faces were also very ugly, which meant that they had to storm the city."
She, they're all you Song people!"
The general glanced at the samurai lightly, and said lightly: "Since you don't speak, then so be it, and afterwards, the army will avenge you." ”With that, the general rode his horse toward the city."
General!
I have a grandfather, in Niujia Village, who is seventy and six this year, called Niu Tiejun. ”A woman suddenly shouted.When the general heard this, he just turned his head and nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and rode his horse into the city quickly.The gate closed again."
I, I don't want to die."
Several women sobbed lowly again.The Japanese were also very panicked, and everyone knew that in the face of the muskets of the Great Song Dynasty, although they had the advantage in numbers, if they wanted to take Matsusaka Castle, many people would surely die, and they immediately shouted to the top of the city wall: "Retreat, retreat, as long as you return to the Ryukyus, these women will be returned to you." ”The soldiers and generals on the city wall were all looking at the Japanese people coldly, and in their hearts, they had already sentenced all these Japanese people to death.Zhu Qiming also climbed the city tower, and a group of generals surrounded him.Zhu Qiming didn't speak, and took a musket from his own soldiers.Aim at a widow under the castle tower and pull the trigger.This shot nearly hit the Japanese samurai who were shouting.The latter was so frightened that he hurriedly fled back.The samurai returned to the middle of the army in disgrace."
Lord Fujiwara, those sergeants of the Song Kingdom, do not agree to our request."
The samurai said through gritted teeth.After listening to Xining's words, Fujiwara Sato said lightly: "General Ben has long known that it is useless to rely on those women, and if you want to regain the land, you can only rely on the knife in our hands. ”"Siege.The drums sounded, and the Japanese soldiers, wielding scimitars and carrying ladders, shouted and charged at Matsuzaka Castle.At the forefront were civilians with only simple weapons in their hands, which were used to consume the firepower of the Song army.In the rear were archers, and when they reached the range, they bent their bows and arrows to suppress the Song army on the city wall.Fujiwara Sato rode his horse and looked at the Japanese army swarming towards Matsuzaka Castle, feeling a little uneasy.He knew very well how difficult it would be to defeat the Song army here, but he had to do it, otherwise, when more Song troops came to Kyushu, the entire Wa Kingdom would be finished.Fujiwara is quite sophisticated, and he knows that the use of those Song women to affect the morale of the Song army has not been done, and now it is the real life and death."
Meet the enemy."
Under the order of a general, the Song army was also ready to counterattack. ”Fire!
”The Japanese besiegers were already within range of artillery.The flag waved incessantly, relaying the signal to the sergeant guarding the artillery.When the sergeant saw this, he shouted, "Fire, fire." ”The sergeant, who had been waiting for the order for a long time, immediately lit the fuse, and then, with a huge roar, the cannonballs smashed straight towards the Japanese siege horses.There were more than 100 artillery pieces in the city, many of which were directly removed from the warships by order of Zhu Qiming, so they were very vigorous.Hundreds of shells whizzed into the Japanese army.Every time a shell exploded, more than a dozen Japanese people lay on the ground and groaned.After the first round of artillery fire, there was no gap, and the second round of artillery strikes arrived.Although the samurai who rushed up to them were timid, they had no choice but to continue their charge against the city walls.They rushed very fast, and after the fourth round of artillery firing, the distance between the two sides was very close, and it was impossible to continue to bombard them.However, the Japanese warriors who besieged the city did not need them to continue to worry, and their next target was the Japanese archers.Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, the formation of the archers who had just lined up in front of the Japanese army was hit, and in just one round of shelling, dozens of Japanese archers were killed, but the others continued to aim at the head of the city to shoot arrows under the orders of the warlords.The soldiers put up their shields one after another to block Zhu Qiming's front.Thousands of arrows rained down on the walls of Matsuzaka Castle.The sergeants who raised their shields to defend remained in formation, but the Song army, hiding under their shields, avoided the first round of arrows and began to counterattack, and the Song soldiers fired at the Japanese soldiers who were close to the city wall with muskets.Under the attack of firearms, thousands of Japanese soldiers fell to the ground, and in this case, they could not stand up, and there was basically no way to survive.After all, the number of the Japanese still exceeded that of the Song army by too much.Bows and arrows also had a certain effect on the suppression of the city walls.Two thousand Japanese foot soldiers finally approached the city wall, and after fixing the ladder to the wall, they began to climb towards the wall.At this time, the Japanese soldiers who rushed up were all elites, and they were no longer the farmers who were captured and sent to death before.The Song army, which was defending the city, also began to counterattack with the oil and torches that had been prepared for a long time.Constantly there were Japanese soldiers who fell from the ladder with flames burning all over their bodies.Even so, many Song troops were concentrated by arrows and fell on the city tower.As the attack intensified, the first Japanese also climbed the city wall.Before he could even gain a foothold, he was shot by the Song army next to him with a musket.Fujiwara saw that there were already people able to climb the castle walls, and then issued the order for a second attack.Tens of thousands of Japanese warriors then poured into Matsuzaka Castle.Fujiwara Sato wants to take Matsuzaka Castle in one go.This is the first battle between the Japanese and the Great Song, and it must be won, as long as Songzaka Castle is taken, he can take advantage of the situation to drive the Song army back to the sea, at that time, his prestige is enough to make the rebels completely surrender, and the Fujiwara family is still the master of the Japanese island.In this battle, Da Song did not want to lose.This battle must be won by the people of Fujiwara.After seeing a new round of Japanese attacks.Zhu Qiming did not show a hesitant look, continued to order, the artillery continued to attack, and after the command came out, the soldiers quickly loaded the artillery."
Blow up these dog sons."
One of the generals roared loudly.The cannonball burst out of the chamber and smashed straight towards the Japanese army along a trajectory.Rumble!
The sound of explosions resounded over the battlefield.Those who were hit by the center of the cannonball would be torn apart, and the people around them would be knocked unconscious by the shock wave, and many of the attacking Japanese samurai were very frightened, but they had no choice but to keep their heads down and continue to attack the walls of Matsuzaka Castle.The second round of attack was even more fierce than the first round.The archery team also continued to design under the command of artillery fire, and the arrows continued to fall on the city wall or in the Matsusaka Castle, causing a lot of trouble for the Song army.The second group of siege Japanese troops also rushed to the foot of Songsaka City at this moment, holding their shields and began to climb along the ladder towards the city wall, and a deputy general said to Zhu Qiming beside him: "General, these Japanese seem to have made up their minds to fight hard. ”"This should be the rebels north of Washima, it doesn't matter how many Fujiwara people die, but if there are too many dead, you look at it, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied, as long as we hold on to this first wave of the most fierce offensive, they themselves will be in chaos and dare not continue to attack."
