The capital of Higo Kingdom on Kyushu Island was surrounded by ten thousand troops led by Liu Jin. On the low city wall, the warriors and soldiers of the Otomo family looked at the Ming army outside the city in horror.
The huge pressure brought by tens of thousands of Ming Dynasty troops made the Japanese people in the entire city panic all day long. What made the Otomo family even more anxious was that the governor of the Otomo family, Otomo Masaki, had never returned. At this moment, the entire Otomo family
The group of dragons is leaderless and at a loss.
"what to do?"
On the city wall, Otomo Masanobu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He was the elder of the Otomo family. When the governor was away, he was the person with the most say in the Otomo family.
"The Dayou family secretly levied heavy taxes on Ming merchants, looted the Ming merchant ship Kunlun Mountain, and killed Ming merchants. This is an unpardonable crime. The Dayou family is being conquered by His Majesty the Ming Emperor. All Japanese who are not members of the Dayou family are asked to leave immediately, otherwise they will be killed without mercy~"
Outside the city, there were people who were proficient in the Japanese language and kept shouting into the city with large iron speakers. The sound was so loud and deafening that even the small capital city of Higo could hear clearly.
"It turned out to be the army of the Ming Dynasty. I thought it was the Shimazu family who came to kill them again."
After someone heard it, they suddenly understood.
"The Dayou family actually looted the Ming Dynasty's ships and killed Ming merchants. Now the retribution is over."
"That's right. How can the Ming Dynasty be so easy to mess with?"
"The Dayou family is so greedy. They have already made a lot of money by doing business with Ming merchants, and they even ransacked Ming merchant ships and killed Ming merchants."
"I also heard that some time ago, Dayou's family looted a Ming merchant ship and killed Ming merchants. I didn't expect it to be true. The Ming army came to the capital."
"Hurry up, hurry up. If the Ming army comes in, they will be finished with Dayou's family."
"Yes, yes, go quickly, go quickly~"
Throughout the capital city of Higo Kingdom, Japanese people packed up their belongings and wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong. However, at this time, the Otomo family was also in a dilemma, whether to let these people leave or not.
"Should we open the city gates and let them leave?"
The samurai of the Otomo family hurriedly came to Otomo Masanobu and asked anxiously.
"Let them go, and let the core members of the family follow them out of the city."
Otomo Masanobu thought for a while and said.
"I told him a long time ago not to touch Ming Dynasty's merchant ships. It's fine now. Dayou's family is finished."
After finishing speaking, Otomo Masanobu also looked at the mighty Ming army outside. The flags were flying, the military formations were strict, the armors were shining dazzlingly under the sunlight, and there were hundreds of gates lined up in a row, and dark cannons.
The mouth has been aimed at this place, and there is no doubt about the power of these cannons.
Faced with such a Ming army that was armed to the teeth, and its number was several times their own, what could the Dayou family do to resist?
Time passed slowly, Liu Jin patiently drank tea while admiring the capital of Higo Kingdom.
The city wall is very low. The walls of any city in the Ming Dynasty will be higher than it. Of course, you can't ask too high.
Although Higo Kingdom is called a country, it is actually the size of a county. How high do you expect the walls of a county to be?
"Sir, the hour is up~"
Soon, an hour passed, and Liu Jin was given an hour to let the innocent people in the city come out.
Revenge is revenge, and lessons are lessons. Liu Jin did not want to implicate too many innocent people, so he gave an hour to let the Japanese people in the city leave the city on their own, which could be regarded as showing the magnanimity of the Ming Dynasty.
"Hmm~"
Liu Jin took out his binoculars and looked at it. There were almost no people coming out of the city gate. At the same time, the warriors of Dayou's family were also closing the city gate. Those who should leave had almost left, and the rest were probably planning to fight.
.
"Start shelling~"
Liu Jin put away the telescope and ordered coldly.
"Yes~"
The messenger immediately began to deliver the order.
"Three rapid fire~"
Here at the artillery position, the person responsible for directing the artillery attack also graduated from Tianjin Maritime Academy and had already calculated the shooting parameters.
Following Liu Jin's order, he immediately started shooting.
"Dong~"
Accompanied by the waving of a small flag, the Miyun cannons made a dull noise, flames spurted out, and the cannonballs roared towards the capital of Higo Kingdom.
"Boom~"
The scene of hundreds of cannons firing together was very spectacular. The terrifying sound was deafening and resounded through the sky. The thick smoke of gunpowder flooded the artillery position. But soon a strong wind blew, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke also drifted on the battlefield.
Come.
In the capital city of Higo Kingdom, it seemed as if the end was coming. Howling cannonballs began to ravage the small capital city. Houses after another were like rotten wood under the attack of the cannonballs, vulnerable.
The samurai of Otomo's family in the city looked at the cannonballs falling all over the world in fear. Houses collapsed under the attack of the cannonballs. The cannonballs kept beating on the ground. Wherever they passed, everything was destroyed by huge waves.
The shattering of inertial tearing.
"The distance is 300 feet, the wind speed is level 4, the angle is reduced by 2 degrees~attack!"
After three rapid fires, the parameters were quickly corrected, and this time it began to aim at the city wall, preparing to destroy the city wall.
"Boom~"
Wave after wave of roars continued, like a thunderbolt from the blue, deafening, and wave after wave of cannonballs continued to pour on the walls of the Higo capital city like a tide.
"Huh~"
"Ah~"
The cannonballs seemed to have eyes, and the shooting accuracy was frightening. They landed on the city wall one after another. In an instant, the Otomo family warriors guarding the city wall howled, and blood and flesh flew everywhere on the city wall.
"It's so scary~"
"The Ming Dynasty's artillery is too scary~"
Otomo Masanobu's scalp was numb. A cannonball almost hit him. The samurai next to him were not so lucky. Under one cannonball, several samurai instantly turned into flesh, and blood and minced meat were splashed all over him.
It's not that he has never seen artillery before. The Dayou family also has several artillery pieces. However, the range of the Dayou family's artillery is very short, the power is also very limited, and the rate of fire is also very slow. There is no way to compare with the roaring Daming artillery.
Compare.
At this moment, the Ming Dynasty's artillery seemed to have no intention of stopping. One after another, like a tide, it poured towards itself one after another.
With this rate of fire, this range, and this terrifying power, facing such a terrifying artillery, no matter how high the swordsmanship is, it will have no effect.
"Boom~"
Another round of artillery fire came, and the cannonballs hit the city wall heavily. The city wall, which was not too tall and not very strong, suddenly fell down. A huge gap appeared, and the city wall was actually blown down by the cannon.
"We still have to find a way to get the explosive bullets. The future of solid bullets is so-so~"
Liu Jin had been watching the bombardment with a telescope.
To be honest, Liu Jin was not very satisfied with the effect of such artillery fire. After overseeing the vigorous cannons of later generations, the shells of the current Miyun cannon were just drizzle, like a child playing house.
The howitzers, rocket launchers, machine guns, naval guns, cannons, etc. of later generations were so powerful that the air waves generated by the shells alone could lift people away.
The cannonballs in front of me can only rely on solid projectiles. It seems that as long as your luck is not too bad and you are not hit by the cannonball, it is basically nothing wrong. It relies more on the sound to scare and frighten people.
"Continue the bombardment and raze the capital of Higo Kingdom to the ground~"
The city walls have been blown down, but Liu Jin has no intention of stopping. Since he wants to do it, he must do it thoroughly. This small capital city in front of him will definitely be completely destroyed.
"Give me some sand~"
However, something happened that Liu Jin did not expect.
As a section of the city wall was blown down, the army of the Otomo family in the city actually took the initiative to attack them.
There seemed to be about a thousand people. Under the leadership of the Dayou family warriors, they quickly rushed towards the Ming army. The first ones were holding long spears with spears stuck in their backs.
Dayou family flag.
This kind of spear is very long, almost two feet long (about five or six meters), and is made of fir. This kind of spear was a very common weapon during the Warring States Period.
"Interesting, it's the same as some of the movies I watched before time travel, but we won't compete with you in terms of spear length."
Seeing the Dayou family's army and warriors rushing over, Liu Jin couldn't help but laugh.
Liu Jin, who came from a later generation, had seen some movies about the Japanese Kingdom, some of which were movies depicting battlefield scenes during the Japanese and Warring States Periods. The armies of two daimyo rushed together, and the first to fight were these soldiers with spears.
They stabbed each other back and forth to see whose spear was longer.
"This order is sent to the students of the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy. They have an opportunity to practice shooting."
Liu Jin thought for a while and immediately gave the order.
As Liu Jin's order was issued, three thousand students from the Ming Dynasty Royal Military Academy, wearing uniforms and holding flintlock muskets, came to the front in neat steps among the army.
I saw that each of these colleges looked a little nervous, but they arranged themselves into neat teams in a very orderly manner under the command of their respective captains.
Some squatted, some half-crouched, and some stood, forming three stairs. The muskets that had been loaded long ago were also aimed at the Otomo soldiers who were rushing over.
The three-stage shooting method can greatly maintain the output when the rate of fire is insufficient and make up for the shortcomings of the slow rate of fire. There is no doubt that this was copied by Liu Jin.
This is definitely a good opportunity to practice design, and it is also a good opportunity for these new soldiers who have only been training for a few months. Liu Jin will not let go of such a good opportunity.
