The Ming army is attacking the city!
This was a surprise to everyone, and it stands to reason that at least another day will have to be waited.
The reason why this situation occurred, everyone here quickly judged that it was because the Ming army premeditated to burn down their granaries, which was because they were afraid that they would withdraw their troops, flee, and bite them to the death!
A group of daimyos, family governors all looked at Tadashi Aoyama, waiting for his decision.
Aoyama Tadashi didn't speak, he went out of the formation house directly, and walked quickly towards the city.
At this time, Zuo Liangyu's 20,000 servant troops had already rushed up quickly, with great momentum, and under the cover of artillery fire, they rushed to the city gate.
Despite the rain of cannons, the gates were already filled with shogunate warriors.
Tadashi Aoyama arrived at the life of the watchtower, just in time to see Tadayuki Kuroten, and Kayama Hisamori led people to charge ahead.
"Iron cannon!
Iron Cannon!
Shoot the arrows!
Shoot the arrows!
” The patrolling samurai at the head of the castle roared, nervous.
Their iron cannon is a modified version of the European arquebus, which is extremely slow to reload and is only a disposabler in close combat.
The artillery of the Ming Dynasty was overhead, and Zuo Liangyu's 20,000 troops, coming all over the mountains, soon rushed to the front, and quickly began to climb the building and blow up the door.
The people in the fortress were already panicked and uneasy, but now they are even more afraid, and they are also trying extra hard to defend the city.
"Justify tiānhuáng, kill!"
Kayama Kumori chanted, brandishing a katana, and charged forward.
"Justify tiānhuáng, kill!"
Birch Hill shouted for a long time and rushed straight to the city gate.
They have been holding back for too long, and their hearts are surging and murderous.
The two sides fought each other in close quarters, intertwined in front of the city gates, and fought.
Tadashi Aoyama held the binoculars and looked at it seriously, his expression was not good-looking.
These warriors are all Japanese people, and he knows very well the combat power of the Japanese people, even if he brings these, they don't seem to be as powerful as these people.
'Is Akito so good at training!'
’ Aoyama Tadashi's eyelids jumped, and his expression was unusually cold.
Before he could react, a daimyo beside him suddenly said urgently, "Izu Mamoru, they want to blow up the city gate!"
” Aoyama Tadashi immediately looked up, and saw more than thirty people pulling a carriage, all of which were dark and heavy boxes, approaching the city gate.
Aoyama Tadashi and a group of daimyo faced as heavy as water, and their eyes flashed violently.
"Let's stop them!"
A daimyo said urgently, turning around to leave, but he didn't leave.
Because they knew that under such a cover of Ming Dynasty artillery fire, once the city gate was blown open, in such a small fortress, even if they won, they would not be able to hold it.
Qingshan Zhongjun sighed lightly in his heart, in the end, he was wrong, one wrong step, one wrong step, if they chose to fight the Ming Dynasty head-on, maybe there was hope.
"Inoue-kun, can you still get the artillery of the Ming Dynasty?"
Aoyama Tadashi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and turned his head to ask.
Inoue Yokoichi, this is his retainer, listening to Aoyama Tadashi's question, he frowned, and said, "Palace, the line on the side of the Ming Dynasty is broken, and now that the Ming Dynasty has blocked the entire Wa Kingdom, even if there is, it can't be transported in." ” The other people's expressions were solemn and regretful, in their opinion, the reason why the shogunate came to this point was because of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, and if they also had such a disaster, they would not be so passive.
Aoyama Tadashi's expression was even colder, and he said expressionlessly, "Let's start." ” "Hayi!"
Inoue responded.
They also have a plan for preparation, and if the Ming army breaks through the city, they also have a way to resist.
The daimyo are very entangled, according to the established plan of Tadashi Aoyama, their losses will be too great to imagine!
Moreover, these 80,000 troops were very important to the shogunate, and if they were lost here, there would be no more troops on the island.
But they couldn't disobey Aoyama's order, and hesitantly followed Inoue down the watchtower and began to prepare.
Not long after the well went down the watchtower, a deafening, violent bàozhà sound suddenly sounded, and the entire fortress trembled three times as if it were about to collapse.
The city gate was dusty, the smoke was billowing out, the big iron gate was blown open, and the Ming army's city-breaking hammer was ready and began to hit the door.
Inside the gate, the shogunate army braved artillery fire and stared at the city gate, waiting for the battle to come. boom The deformed city gate that had been blown up did not resist a few blows, and the city breaker smashed the door open, and then the birch mountain, which had been unable to wait for a long time, took people and quickly rushed in.

The 20,000 troops, some of which were the elite of Zuo Liangyu's training in Kagoshima for many years, and some of which were recruited from all over the country by Heitian Tadayuki, were all led by various governors who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
One by one, they were fierce and murderous, and rushed into the city gates.
"Kill!"
Birch Mountain has been guarded for a long time, and Kurotama Tadashi roared, holding up his katana, like crazy.
They have been waiting too long, and this is their first chance to really make meritorious contributions, and they have already given up and are desperate for everything.
They rushed in, and the shogunate army inside the gate was already waiting, and Inoue, the major names, and the family governor also had no way to retreat, and they came out with their swords.
The two sides fought quickly and fought each other in close combat.
There was a fierce battle in front of the city gates, and there was a rain of cannons overhead, and the entire fortress was plunged into a great battle.
In the rear of the army that had been waiting for a long time in Huashan, there were the Jurchen cavalry of Dolgon, their military appearance was neat, their evil spirit was condensed, and their eyes were staring at the city gate gloomily.
Dolgon, Li Dingguo, Zuo Liangyu and others sat on horses, holding binoculars, and watched quietly, without any intention of supporting.
Dai Shandao said, "It seems that Aoyama Tadashi does not plan to retreat, and he is going to defend the fortress of Guanmen." ” Man Dahai rode a horse, his face was full of wind and frost, and said: "It is also understandable that if the 80,000 army retreats to the other side, then the war will spread to the island of China, and the impact on the military morale and people's morale of the Japanese country will be too great, and if there is no strait on the other side to block it, it will be really dangerous." ” Zuo Liangyu watched the army that had been guarding Huashan for a long time go in, but it did not go deeper, the two armies clashed in the area of the city gate, tug-of-war, and looked a little uneasy, and said: "Qingshan Zhongjun has 80,000 troops in his hands, we are so urgent to attack the city, the losses will be very large, if we can wait a few days, maybe they will retreat without a fight." ” Aoyama Tadashi's granary was burned down, it was impossible to hold out for too long, regardless of whether the Ming Dynasty attacked or not, there was not enough grain and grass to support, and withdrawing troops was the only way.
Naturally, Zuo Liangyu's fundamental mind is not this, he wants to preserve his strength.
Li Dingguo glanced at him and did not speak.
All they have to do now is to probe, and it is impossible to press it all at once.
Zuo Liangyu didn't notice his mistakes in strategy and tactics, and continued: "I think that running and bombing is the main thing, and feints are supplemented, this fortress can be taken in ten days at most!"
” Dolgon was the commander-in-chief of the front line, he glanced at Zuo Liangyu, pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't worry, take a look first." ” Zuo Liangyu's expression did not move, his eyes were a little condensed, and he did not argue.
The artillery fire was moving towards the city, and the head of the city basically turned into a tug-of-war.
Birch Mountain has been guarded for a long time, and Heitian Zhongzhi was still worried at first, but with the rush to kill, he gradually became heroic and took the lead.
These samurai of the shogunate were originally aggressive, but as Kayama Kumori and others showed stronger combat power, their morale suddenly disappeared, and their fighting spirit increased.
