Chapter 1357: Bombardment of Guancheng


Li Dingguo looked around for a while, nodded and said, "Wa Guo, there are still masters." ” The adjutant general was secretly frightened and said, "My lord, you say, will anyone be sentenced to be Ming and take refuge in the Japanese?"

” Li Dingguo said, "No, if there were, it would have been found by Jinyiwei and the Military Intelligence Department a long time ago."

This city should be related to Luo Yang's sexuality. ” The adjutant general showed murderous intent on his face, was angry for a while, and said, "My lord, why is the military intelligence department so sparing words as gold and refusing to give us all the information?"

” Li Dingguo said, "It should be the meaning of the metropolitan governor, so you don't need to ask."

Let people observe carefully, draw a topographical map, and set up a cannon tomorrow. ” The artillery of the cannon is currently the most advanced in the world, mainly because of its long range, the power of dànyào, and a thousand cannons, which is enough to put the fortress of the Guanmen Strait in a sea of fire!

"Yes!"

The lieutenant general commanded.

Li Dingguo's actions were not concealed, and the Guanmen Strait naturally got the news a long time ago.

Itakura Shigemasa was not disposed of, and is still in charge of the defense of the southern shore of the Kanmon Strait.

A retainer reported and said coldly, "Palace, Li Dingguo is camped ten miles away, there are only five thousand people, should we clean him up first!"

” Itakura Shigemasa looked indifferent, he had been frightened recently, listening to the words of his retainers, and said indifferently, "Do you think that the Ming Dynasty will really let five thousand people and a thousand cannons swagger to close the strait?"

Are you stupid, or am I stupid?

” The retainer bowed his head and said, "The villain knows his mistake!"

” Itakura Shigemasa's face was gloomy, and he said, "The Ming people must have ambushed soldiers in secret, we don't move, have the defenses everywhere been adjusted?"

” The retainer immediately said, "It has been adjusted, now the city is high and the walls are thick, and the grain and grass are sufficient, even if the Ming Dynasty has an army of 100,000 for a year and a half, it will not be able to break through!"

” Itakura Shigemasa looked at him indifferently and said, "At sea?

” The retainer said, "There are Xiyi cannons on both sides of the strait, especially in narrow places, the distance advantage of the Ming Dynasty artillery is not there, and they can't control the strait ......"

The expression on Itakura Shigemasa's face was softened, and he said, "Mamoru Izu, is there any news now?"

” "No, there's no news from Mamoru Izu."

Retainer Road.

Itakura Shigemasa frowned, it was Tadashi Aoyama who kept him, he knew this very well, but now losing Tadashi Aoyama's command made him very uneasy.

Early the next morning, Li Dingguo selected two high places, and the heavy cannons were transported, and boxes of dànyào were also constantly being transported.

This process takes a lot of time, but Li Dingguo is so blatant, and even a little arrogant.

At the head of the city, Itakura Shigemasa was holding a telescope, his heart was on fire, his face was embarrassed, and he said, "Can our artillery hit them?"

” One of the retainers said, "Ours can't, the range of the Xiyi cannon is half less than that of the Ming artillery, and the power of the huǒyào is also much inferior." ” Itakura Shigemasa let out a heavy breath in his nostrils, his eyes were full of anger, and he said, "Are there any other discoveries?"

” The retainer said, "There are dense forests everywhere, there are changes in the dense forests, there is one place where we have determined that there are ambushes, and there are estimates in other places, and the number of people may be 20,000." ” Itakura Shigemasa sneered and said, "As expected, what countermeasures do you have against the cannons of the Ming Dynasty?"

” The retainer's face was embarrassed, and he said, "I haven't thought of it for the time being." ” This kind of long-distance attack method, to be precise, is the first time that the Wa State has encountered it, unless they have the same firearms, there is no way to fight back, not to mention, the other party also arranged an ambush outside, just waiting for them to go out of the city.

Itakura Shigemasa knew this matter in his heart, and asking it was just a shirk of responsibility, so he snorted coldly with an expressionless face, and turned around to get down.

Not long after he went downstairs, Li Dingguo gave an order, and thousands of cannons were fired at the fortress in the Guanmen Strait.

A thousand cannonballs flew in the sky, rapidly expanding from small, dense black dots to the city.

Boom, boom, boom Thinking about the cannonballs, the huge fortress was like an earthquake, trembling violently, and the deafening sound was like thunder, resounding through the heavens and the earth.

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

"Fire!"

The flag commander waved the flag and shouted, and the gunner quickly filled the shells, ignited, cooled, and repeated.

Shells rained down like raindrops, hurried and dense, and fell quickly in the city.

Huge bàozhà rose one after another, and in the terrible sound of bàozhà, thick smoke was like fog, dust and sand, shrouding the entire Guanmen Strait fortress.

Even in Itakura Shigema's Jinya, from time to time there would be shells falling nearby, and the bombed Jinya trembled as if it was about to fall.

I don't know when it will be angry, the fire in the city is everywhere, it is constantly burning, the summer is already hot, and now the city is like a huge steamer.

The smoke and dust billowed in the steamer, the firelight was everywhere, and countless screams rang out, drowning in the sound of bàozhà.

The huge fortress seems to have no safe place, and I don't know how many people are shouting and panicking.

These shogunate warriors in the Sekinai did not know the power of the Ming artillery, and although they were prepared, they were still frightened.

Even some daimyo ran into the ears of Itakura Shigemasa and shouted wildly, this is terrible, what else can resist such an 'artifact'?

Itakura Shigemasa looked at the smoke of gunpowder in the city, the blood everywhere and the screams of pain hidden under the sound of cannons, and his face was quite ugly.

"Temple, or I'll take someone to extinguish their artillery array!"

A retainer said in a real rěnwúkěrěn.

Itakura Shigemasa said decisively: "No one is allowed to leave the city!"

” The purpose of the Ming people was simple, that is, to capture the Kanmon Strait and cut off the support of their own island to Kyukoku Island.

There are ambushes outside, and if you open the door, it will be a trick!

A group of people were extremely unwilling, but they had no effective way to deal with it, and their faces were full of anger.

Not long after, a samurai ran over and said, "Temple, the navy of the Ming people has appeared, and they seem to be about to enter the strait!"

” Itakura Shigemasa's face changed, his eyes were full of joy, and he climbed a watchtower regardless of the danger and looked at the sea with a telescope.

Although it was very vague, I could still vaguely see a fleet slowly walking towards it.

Itakura Shigemasa had a murderous look on his face, and said, "Order everywhere to prepare, and wait for their fleet to attack when it arrives in the encirclement!"

” "Yes!"

The samurai left quickly, and one of the other daimyo was also murderous with excitement.

They can't help those cannons outside the gate, if they destroy the Ming people's navy, it will be a great achievement!

They braved artillery fire and stared at the sea.

Outside the Guanmen Strait, Zheng Zhilong led the fleet to wander close, but did not approach, and kept observing.

The lieutenant general beside him said, "My lord, this strait is quieter than before. ” Zheng Zhilong could hear the meaning, put down the binoculars, and said, "Li Dingguo is bombarding over there, and it's still so quiet here, obviously he has arranged his pockets, waiting for us to drill." ” The adjutant general said, "My lord, what should we do?"

” Zheng Zhilong put down the binoculars and said, "Get closer, don't go in, make it look like you want to go in, and keep delaying as much as possible." ” The deputy general suddenly understood that this was to delay time, and secondly, to test and see what traps Itakura Shigemasa had arranged!

The fleet approached the strait, wandered back and forth, never entered.

Itakura Shigemasa endured Li Dingguo's artillery fire while staring at the fleet on the sea, time like ants moving, and the torment was extraordinary. 10
