Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 364: Battle of Songcang City

Songcang City is built on Songcang Mountain, also known as Luye Mountain. Songcang Mountain is 430 meters high. It is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and only one side can go up the mountain. It can be said to be very difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As the main castle of Shiina, the city is designed as five Guoguo, with five layers inside and outside, it is the largest city in Vietjung.

Matsukura Castle is now being bombarded by the Takeda Army, which is unprecedented.

After being awakened by the sound of cannons from his sleep, Keizao Shiina hurriedly ran down the steps. The deafening sound of cannons outside the city shocked Shiina Keizao who was in the castle tower at the top of Matsakura.

Although he heard that the Takeda Army was equipped with firearms like Shihuoshi, he had also seen it and felt that with Shihuoshi's launch, it was impossible to make such a violent noise.

Moreover, the frequency of the shelling sound of the Takeda Army is so high that it is not the original intelligence saying that there are only a few large tubes, at least the scale of dozens of large tubes.

"Where did Li Xiao get so many big tubes?"

Suspicious thoughts flashed through Shiina Keizao's mind.

At the moment, he can only pin all his hopes on the solidity of Matsakura Castle. The Shiina masters built this city on the scale of a famous residence of 100,000 stone. After more than two hundred years of experience, the city is strong.

All Shiina Keinao can only pin all these hopes on this.

The same bombardment of the Takeda Army at dawn also awakened Shiina Kangyin who was sleeping.

Shiina Yashin's resting place is in a side temple near Honmaru, and its comfort is far inferior to the castle tower.

But for him at this moment, the castle tower, the symbol of the city lord, did not belong to him long ago. He is also happy to escape from this place of power disputes.

The two Echigo singers who were waiting for Shiina Kangyin next to Shiina Kangyin leaned over Shiina Kangyin in panic after hearing the shelling sound like the roar of Thunder God.

Shiina Kangyin still had the look after the hangover. After pushing away the two women, when he barely got up, he accidentally stepped on the wine bottle and fell to the ground again.

"My lord, my lord"

The two singers hurriedly called.

Shiina Kangyin laughed instead at the moment, saying: "Shiina's house is over, Shiina's house is over. Give me the funeral."

At this time, the first round of shelling was over under Matsakura Castle.

On Li Xiao's artillery group position, the twelve-pounder gun roared first.

The huge roar caused the earth to shake suddenly.

The thunder of the twelve-pounder gun was far better than the other guns, so Shiina Kezhi was so surprised and wondered how could there be such a loud gun.

Then five nine-pounder guns sounded in unison, followed by twelve six-pounder guns.

In the morning light of dawn, the appearance of Matsakura Castle was not clearly recognizable.

However, you can vaguely hear the hissing, shouting from the city gate, and the sound of the collapse of the civil construction, and you can vaguely guess how miserable the city is.

"Don't stop shooting"

"In the fourth round of firing, the muzzle was raised to extend the firepower."

After the second round of shooting, Rui Costa continued to give orders to his men.

The artillery used a large duster to brush the chamber, clear the slag, and then filled the ammunition. The foot soldiers of the big tube team were very well-trained and completed the loading work in a short time.

Then the third round of shelling began.

...

The shelling lasted for half an hour.

At this time, it was bright, and Li Xiao in the main formation of the Takeda Army raised the monocular telescope to carefully observe the effect of the shelling.

After watching for a while, Li Xiao's lips curled up with a slight smile.

In the bright sky, the Maru outside Matsakura Castle is now in ruins, and most of Shinomaru has been destroyed, a scene of ruined walls.

The generals of the Takeda army on the side were far away and did not have Li Xiao's monocular telescope. However, Matsakura Castle's current situation was clearly visible, and now they all had a dumbfounded expression.

Matsukura Castle is a strong castle in Viet-Chong, second only to Toyama Castle, and it is not easy to capture, but under the shelling of the Datong team, it turned out to be like this.

This scene is unbelievable.

"Under the power of the big barrel, Matsukura Castle is like mud and sand, and it collapses in one blow. It's incredible." Takator Fujido said from the side.

"Under the big tube, there are very few strong cities in the world that can last for three days." Kinoshita Xiuchang also made this assertion.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Xiu Chang, I still keep these words. We will talk about it when we attack Odawara Castle in the future."

Odawara Castle is the strongest city in the world, and it is also the home city of Hojo. Li Xiao said so, he actually showed his ambition to sweep Kanto.

The generals watched the performance of the Datong team, and at the moment they all looked confident.

Indeed, in European bastions, before the advent of reinforced concrete fortifications, artillery was sufficient to destroy almost all the defensive buildings of the Japanese Warring States era.

Among the generals of the Takeda family, Uchijima's expressions are extremely rich. When he returned to Yuncheng that year, he first tasted the power of Li Xiao's mortar.

After the shelling was over, Li Xiao raised the military staff and pressed down decisively.

At this time, there was a thunderous drum beat from the front.

She Wei Bei, as well as the Jinbao family's general commander Terashima, Mizugoshige led his army to invade the city of Matsakura.

The red Takeda Hiroshima, the two-inspired flag of the Jinbao family, spread out under the castle.

All of them were armed with spears and roared into Matsukura City.

The outer ring of Songcang City has basically been collapsed~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The siege soldiers only need to fill the trenches, and then they can enter the city.

After attacking Soimaru unimpeded, under the early morning sunlight, the Takeda soldiers rushed into Shinomaru along the trail, where they encountered resistance from Shiina's army.

The Shinomaru Shiina army was fighting stubbornly, and under the broken wall, arrows shot out from time to time.

The road to Nippon Castle Maru is very narrow and it is not convenient for the army to unfold.

On the road, there is a barricade-like "snap", which is helpful for Shinomaru's defenders to defend step by step and resist layer by layer. The castle defenders can start from the Sannomaru arrow scull, the narrow opening of the curved wheel, or stand up from the stone wall. On the top of the tower, he used bow and arrow iron cannons to shoot at the Takeda army moving in Shinomaru.

So as the forward, Terashima’s job team is in
