Amakusa Shiro watched the shogunate army approaching, watched the cannon continue to advance, and quietly climbed a high slope.
The silver staff in his hand was raised high, he put down the binoculars, and shouted in a deep voice: "Fire!"
” Bang bang bang With his order, more than two hundred cannons opened fire in unison, like thunder, and suddenly exploded.
These shells carried green smoke and roared out, not rushing towards the shogunate samurai, but at the high slope, the artillery position!
Boom, boom, boom One shell after another exploded, rolling up countless dust, instantly enveloping the high slope, accompanied by a miserable shout.
Itakura Shigemasa had been watching the samurai rushing forward, observing every move on the head of Shimabara Castle.
But this scene frightened his expression and shouted: "Hurry up, withdraw the cannon, withdraw quickly!"
” Goto Mao, who was beside him, heard the words and said: "Itakura Hall is too late, their artillery range is too long, and the cannon is too slow!"
” These cannons, which were smuggled from Xiyi by the shogunate with great difficulty in contacting pirates, are not many in themselves, and this time, they are also used as surprise soldiers.
If all of them were buried here, the shogunate would never spare him.
Thinking about covering Maori Tadagong, Itakura Shigemasa said in a deep voice, "How much can I withdraw, quickly!"
” "Yes."
Goto Mao hurriedly went to pass the order.
Amakusa Shiro took the binoculars, stared at their every move, and ordered again: "Keep an eye on their artillery, and not let any of them go!"
” The muzzles of the guns were quickly adjusted, enveloping the positions of the shogunate army, and the flames were like dragons.
Seeing that he couldn't save a few doors, Itakura Shigemasa was dripping blood in his heart, fear and anxiety were in his heart, and his eyes turned to the samurai who rushed to the north gate.
Amakusa Shiro didn't take the shogunate's artillery to heart, staring at the shogunate samurai who rushed over and screamed.
"Arrows, shoot!"
Amakusa Shiro waved his silver staff and shouted in a deep voice.
The arrow artillery quickly stood in position, and one arrow after another shot out rapidly, and sparks flickered, like fireworks.
Bang bang bang These arrows exploded quickly, causing countless screams.
These arrows and cannons have been improved by the Ordnance Bureau, some are equipped with fire oil, and some are huǒyào, which is not lethal enough, but the damage is greatly increased.
"Shoot!"
The shogunate samurai who rushed over shouted, picked up the iron cannon, the short spear improved by the arquebus, and fired at it.
This kind of iron cannon has this problem that is difficult to overcome with muskets, that is, it is too slow to reload, and melee or siege is a disposable.
As soon as they finished shooting, they threw it away, raised their katanas, and continued to rush towards the walls with a shout.
These arrows and artillery were all trained in the Ming Dynasty, not well-trained, and after a period of panic, they shot quickly.
Under the north gate, bursts of bàozhà were not so obvious in the sound of cannons, but the smoke and dust were billowing and the fire was everywhere, and the stumps and arms were broken, and the samurai were suffering everywhere.
Blood flowed into the moat, quickly dyed red, and the real blood flowed like a river!
Itakura Shigema's brows kept beating, his heart was cold for a while, and his face was pale.
He could see that, as rumored, the Ming were secretly training these jīdūjiào disciples!
These firearms are all from the Ming Dynasty!
Goto Mao's expression was solemn, and he said: "Itakura Palace, it's not a way to go on like this, and so many people will die when they attack the castle tower, those daimyo must be crazy." ” A few years ago, Itakura Shigemasa led 70,000 or 80,000 of their people to die, and if tens of thousands more died, they didn't know what anger would look like.
Itakura Shigemasa glanced at the direction of the east and west doors, and said coldly: "Don't stop, 20,000 people, all of them will be pressed on me!"
” Goto Mao originally wanted to intercede again, but looking at Itakura Shigema's murderous face, he still responded and stepped forward to supervise the battle.
If he doesn't go, those halls are only afraid that they will intrigue with each other, and they will not work hard, and their friends will not die in poverty.
Indeed, as he thought, the faces of the Ming people on the front line sank like water, watching their own warriors go forward to die, and they didn't know what it was like in their hearts.
In particular, some of them are still foreign daimyos, which are the objects of the Tokugawa shogunate's efforts to suppress and eradicate!
But one by one, the shogunate warriors were behind them, holding their swords, and they could not resist.
On the castle head turret, Amakusa Shiro observed everything inside and outside the battlefield, and said in a deep voice, "Turn back the cannons and cut them off!"
” The cannons on the gates were withdrawn from the artillery of the shogunate and bombarded the middle of the shogunate army.
Boom, boom, boom Shells scattered in all directions, blasting large craters in the open ground, and bloody corpses were mixed in the smoke.
But even so, the shogunate army rushed to the front, set up ladders that had just been made, quickly climbed the walls, and the castle breaker was slamming against the door.
Obviously, the shogunate has not slackened over the years, and the research on Shimabara's surveillance has never stopped.
These are not things that appeared in the war of the Japanese war, and now, all of them are available, and they are still very skilled.

Amakusa Shiro's face was expressionless, and with a wave of his silver staff, he said, "Throw hands!"
” Rows of jīdūjiào disciples in armor went upstairs, and the shǒuliúdàn in their hands seemed to be broken stones, and they threw them towards the city.
The shogunate army was almost powerless against the castle towers, and the 'firepower' was suppressed as much as possible, and there was almost no backhand.
Such a scene is simply a slaughterhouse, and the shogunate army rushed over, like a huge grinding plate, drenched in blood, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
Itakura Shigemasa's face was gloomy and about to drip ink, he had long expected that Shimahara would be difficult to attack, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult!
It's like a child holding a toothpick to fight an adult, and there is almost no power to fight back except for being beaten!
Goto Mao is terrified, how can such a war be fought?
Unless these jīdūjiào disciples are lured out of the city, or trapped inside, there is no other way!
He ran back, looked at Itakura Shigemasa and said, "Itakura Palace, you really can't attack it anymore, otherwise these 20,000 samurai will all die under the city!"
” Itakura Shigemasa didn't know how, but he just had to stick to it and cover up for his plan.
"Go on, slow down a bit."
Itakura Shigemasa said in a trembling voice.
Goto Mao looked at Itakura Shigemasa, gritted his teeth and turned his head to supervise the formation.
But the daimyo who brought troops behind Itakura Shigemasa had a rather ugly face, and they whispered from time to time, not knowing what they were talking about.
Outside the east gate, Mori Tadashi was already deep in the tunnel, and in front of him were busy samurai, digging, passing, and going, constantly advancing.
If they encounter a stone, they will blow it up with a small amount of zhàyào or make a detour, constantly digging in front of them.
Maori Tadashi was very anxious, constantly urging to hurry, hurry, and hurry.
Qingshan Zhongjun in Black Cloud City kept listening to the reports from outside, and his already iron-blue face became more and more ugly.
He knew that Shimahara Castle was assisted by the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that these firearms would have such power.
Not to mention 50,000, even 100,000 may not be able to attack!
So, what about the Satsuma clan in Kagoshima?
Will his army of 70,000 be able to take it?
Where is the place where the Ming Dynasty itself operated for five or six years!
