Volume 7 Jiangnan Green Looking Maple Red Chapter 1036 Red Leaf 5
"Even if the knight dies, he will still carry the military flag. This flag was given by the First Lord, and I will defend it until the end."
Charlie rejected everyone's suggestion that he take down the military flag of the Ming Dynasty Bei, but firmly looked at the stairs built with the corpses of the victims of Tokiwa Bei and the Ming Dynasty Bei. In order to advance quickly, Ming Gai Bei also removed the military flag, but
But he was armed.
"That's enough, Your Highness." Charlie saluted Yu Qiu Shang, then flicked his blond hair from his forehead and strode towards Ming Dybei's army, "I will take the fortress. Please excuse me, Your Highness, for the next batch.
When the troops follow up, please help me bring Ming Dy's equipment with me."

When Oda Nobunaga looked at Naru Dybei's army coming in a skirmish line, he looked at the mountain of corpses and sea of blood below the bastion, but he still couldn't fully recover. He has not thought about it until now.
By the way, how did the one-armed general Yu Qiu Shang and the Red Leaf Army under Yu Qiu Shang he saw through the telescope mess up this well-planned plan? Why would anyone rush into the fortress after seeing it?
Ah? Why do they dare to storm the bastion even if they don't have barrels and siege weapons? Why are there troops in this world who can advance even if their entire army is annihilated with 100% casualties? Why are they even given the order to die in vain?
Can it be carried out without hesitation?
Oda Nobunaga was also worried that his plan to lead the Red Leaf Army north into the ambush circle would have variables. However, he was only worried about the two situations in which the Red Leaf Army would take a detour from the east or directly cross the Yodo River to the north.
situation, he never expected the possibility that the Red Leaf Army would be so stupid to run into the bastion - to be precise, he did not even take this situation into consideration. He believed that the Hongye Army should know the power of the bastion better than anyone else.
Wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
But Oda Nobunaga finally realized his flaw - he underestimated the anger and determination of the Hongye Army after the murder of Yu Qiupei. Such emotions were enough to support them to complete the suicidal order that the world could not imagine and build it with the body.
ladder.
At the same time, he also realized his stupidity - he had previously thought that Yu Qiuping's bastions were defective, and that Yu Qiuping should not leave gaps between the bastions, which was just a weakness of the defense system - but
Now Oda Nobunaga discovered that he was wrong. The bastion is different from the castle and the rock fortress. For the purpose of defense, it does not have a gate. If there is no gap left, the troops in the bastion will have no way to cross the fortifications to counterattack.
.And as long as one bastion is captured, the enemy can directly attack the entire bastion group. He was a little annoyed at the moment, why he thought that the fortifications designed by Yu Qiuping, known as "Absolute Defense", were flawed.
What? Now, Oda Nobunaga can only watch the corpses piled under the bastion without being able to deal with them. He can also only watch the soldiers of the Hongye Army formulate skirmish lines - such a loose formation,
If the Oda Army could launch a field counterattack, they could be defeated in an instant - but the Oda Army could not get out of the bastion at all, and could only watch helplessly as the Red Leaf Army rushed to the bastion and lined up again.
Takanashi Toramaru, as a squad leader of the Oda family's Otsutsu team, does not have as many psychological activities as Oda Nobunaga. At the moment, he is just trying to control his trembling legs from being frightened by the words "For Momiji-sama" while urging him
The gunners under his command cleared their chambers and reloaded their ammunition. Although the Hongye Army's continuous desperate assault just now did not kill any Oda,
The soldiers of the Red Leaf Army, but it caused a devastating blow to the morale of the Oda Army on the bastion - each of them was like a frightened bird at this moment, frightened and overwhelmed by the desperate momentum of the Red Leaf Army. The blood coming from under the bastion
The auditory hallucinations of "For Momiji-sama" seemed to be echoing in their ears at any time, making them all uneasy and completely unable to enter the fighting state. Takanashi Toramaru himself couldn't cheer up, and his several gunners continued to
Something went wrong, and even basic reloading was not possible.
But Takanashi Toramaru also knows that he must do his best to stop the Red Leaf Army at this moment. The large barrel he is responsible for is facing the direction of the Red Leaf Army's breakthrough. After the Red Leaf Army kills, this is the first place to bear the brunt. With the anger of the Red Leaf Army, they will definitely not stay.
The next survivor, right? But Oda Nobunaga was supervising the battle in this fortress, and he would definitely die if he escaped secretly. Therefore, he could only try his best to stop them.
Narubei's troops were getting closer and closer, but Takanashi Toramaru was not in a hurry to fire. The position of their large cannon was very good, so they did not need to waste reloading time to change to solid bullets when the Momiji army was far away.
He kept loading the shotgun and waited for the Red Leaf Army to gather in front of the fortress and shoot once - Takanashi Toramaru did this when he faced Tokiwa Bei and Shoshu Bei before, just shoot once.
He took away the lives of dozens of Red Leaf Army soldiers. This time, he planned to do the same.
The gunners had already filled the gunpowder. Now it was time to load the shotshells into the barrel. Takanashi Toramaru looked at the tighter firing equipment and the slower and slower gunners, and couldn't help but urge his gunner. The gunner was immediately busy.
He held the shotshell shells and searched the cannon hole. However, the moment he ejected his body from the crenellation of the wall, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air suddenly came. An arrow was nailed directly between his eyebrows, killing the gunner with one arrow.
He also held the shotshell shell in his hand and fell directly from the bastion, rolling onto the mountain of corpses.
"Archers? Didn't all the Red Leaves Army equip themselves with iron cannons?" Takanashi Toramaru was startled when he saw this, and looked at Narubi, who was still a long way away from the fortress, "How did you do it..."
In a hurry, Takanashi Toramaru directed another gunner to carry shotshell shells and stuff them into the muzzle of the cannon. However, at the same moment when he ejected his body from the outside of the bastion and prepared to reload, another arrow came and hit the center of the eyebrow cleanly.
The gunner screamed and fell down, and the shotshell fell on the wall. A gunner behind him stepped forward to pick up the shotshell, but was immediately hit by an arrow in the middle of the eyebrow.
At this time, everyone in the artillery crew was dumbfounded. The shot shell was like a hot potato, and no one dared to touch it.
The big guns and iron cannons on the bastion continued to fire all the time, but they failed to cause many casualties - because the big gun with the best shooting position failed to fire. Zhizhi, who retreated to the central command podium of the bastion to watch the battle.
When Tian Nobunaga saw the ink-stained gun crew, he immediately sent his guards to urge him, yelling and demanding Takanashi Toramaru to fire immediately, otherwise he would wait for his head to fall to the ground.
Takanashi Toramaru glanced at the Naibei soldiers who had already started to form a formation, and his head was filled with anxiety - now was the best opportunity to shoot! So he gave a sharp order, asking the two gunners on the left and right to hold the shotshell shells and load them at the same time.
Both gunners were trembling with fear, but where the sharp sword of Oda Nobunaga's bodyguard was placed behind them, the two of them did not dare to disobey, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward, shouting wildly, praying for the deadly accurate bow and arrow on the opposite side.
Hand cum
Kill the other person.
But this time the sound of the sharp arrow leaving the string was a little noisy. Before they could react, they saw the two loaded gunners being shot in the center of the eyebrow at the same time, one on the left and the other on the right, and they fell down with a whimper.
"Are you fools? Don't you know how to raise a shield?" The guards sent by Oda Nobunaga saw these gunners leaving the shields on the fort wall unused, and they were all trembling with fear and did not dare to step forward.
They were so angry that many of the soldiers at the top of the city were so frightened by the attack of the Red Leaf Army that they were sleepwalking. They were so stunned that they didn't know what they were doing. The guards cursed and picked up the shields in front of them to protect them without even looking at them.
The gunners who dared not move took one look at it, picked up a shot shell, and tried to push it into the gun hole. They had already made up their mind to kill all these gunners later.
He thought he would hear the sound of a sharp arrow coming through the air and being blocked by a shield, but there was no sound - instead there was the roar of an iron cannon. The guard was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a projectile sticking to his face.
At that moment, he felt lucky to have escaped death - the accurate archer opposite seemed not good at using iron cannons and actually missed him - but in the next moment, he realized something was wrong -
-The archer was not aiming at him, but at the gunpowder stuffed in the cannon hole next to him. And in the next moment, which was also the last moment in the guard's life, there was only one thought left in his mind: No way,
At such a long distance, the blast hole is probably just a small black dot in the field of vision. How could it possibly be hit?
Outside the field of view, in the formation of the firing squad, Charlie was blowing away the smoke from the muzzle of the iron cannon, with no intention of observing the results of his shooting.
At the same time as the sound of the explosion came, the guard had been blown away by the force of the explosion. The shotshell shell he was holding happened to be ignited and exploded at the top of the bastion, and countless fine projectiles were splashed wantonly on the bastion.
The fort was caught off guard by the dense defenders. After a scream, the defenders beside the walls fell into a pool of blood.
Takanashi Toramaru, who was lucky enough to have great luck, squatted down with his head in his arms at the moment of the explosion. He was lucky enough to save a life. However, he was stunned by the shock and his eyes turned white. He was stunned for a while before he gradually regained consciousness. When he finally stood up and thought
When he was about to return to his combat post, he noticed from the corner of his eye that countless Oda samurai on both sides of the bastion wall were desperately running towards him - could it be?
By the time Takanashi Toramaru reacted, it was already too late. The first Mingbei soldier had already jumped onto the battlement and slashed Takanashi Toramaru's head with a knife. An Oda samurai behind Takanashi Toramaru came to his rescue at the critical moment.
He blocked the blow with his sword, and then three more Oda samurai came over and each stabbed the Naibei soldier in the abdomen.
"It's not over yet..." The Ming Dybei soldier gave a vicious smile, "I stepped on the corpses of so many brothers to get here. I want to kill all you Oda dogs for them! Ah——"
The Narubei soldier roared and vomited several mouthfuls of blood. At the same time, he exerted force on his legs and forced the Oda samurai to take several steps back before dying.
"For His Highness Hongye!"
At the same time that the dying soldier let out his death roar, more than a dozen Mingdybei soldiers instantly climbed up on the wall behind him. They landed steadily in the space opened by the victim, and then attacked the Oda army who was caught off guard.
