Warring States Eagle

Ohashi Bungo Mamoru who was standing near Sugi Xingun also showed disdainful expressions when they heard the words.

It's just that this "disdain" was not aimed at the Luo family's army outside the city, but Shan Xingyun.

Since Sugi Xingyun's incompetence in the battle of Hizen three years ago led to the disastrous defeat of the Ouchi family's coalition forces to the invading Otomo family's coalition forces, and finally even allowed the Luo family to take the opportunity to rise from Hizen, as the guardian of the Chikuzen country. Shan Xingyun's prestige has been discredited.Even after the hard work of Shan Xingyun in the past few years, it has not improved much.If it wasn't for Naito Xingsheng's personal instigation this time, the battle of the noble families of the Chikuzen country against the Luo family would not have happened.

Among these people, the one who was most disappointed with Sugi Xingyun was naturally Bungo Ohashi, who had experienced the night battle three days ago.In his opinion, if this guy hadn't fled the battle that night, the camp of the allied forces of the big family would not have been defeated so quickly, and it would not have caused the chaos that followed.When he thought of the situation that the relatives and warriors around him were trampled to death that night in order to help him escape from the rebellious army, he wished he could chop Shan Xingyun down the city wall with one blow.

As for yesterday's battle, if it wasn't for Shan Xingyun who saw that the main force of the Luo family's army was on the south bank of the Chikugo River (at this time, he didn't know that the Luo family's army had already divided into three groups and started a large-scale counterattack, let alone that he The territory of the Qiuyue family on the flanks is already in dire straits), and unexpectedly planned to take the opportunity to attack the Luo family's Katsuo Castle, so as to reverse the disastrous defeat that night. Despite the voice of opposition, he stepped forward resolutely.As a result, they were beaten to pieces by the Luo family's Iron Cannon Squad who defended the city.In the end, he fled back to Shanxiu City like a bereaved dog.But now people are chasing after the victory.Killed directly to the city.

Just when Shan Xingyun and others had different thoughts in the city.The Luo family's army outside the city made another move.

I saw a tall man.The strange-looking guy gesticulated on a dirt slope not far outside the city.This place is actually less than [-] meters away from the gate of Shanxiu City. People with stronger strength can even shoot here with better bows and arrows.

Some soldiers who were obviously the strange man's subordinates began to build a mound on the slope.

With such a short distance, in fact, Shanxi City can open the city gate immediately, and then come out to drive away the Luo family's army.But neither Sugi Xingyun nor Chikushi Yumono did anything at this time.Because they recognized the tall weirdo at this time.

These are the guys who are called "ghost men" by the people.This is not the first time they have seen these "ghost people".The most recent time was last year.A huge warship once docked at Hakata Port in Chikuzen Country and Moji Port in Buzen Country.Sugi Xingyun and Chikushi Yumon were lucky enough to see these "ghost men" who got off the boat, and they even spent a lot of money to buy several things called "guns" from these "ghost men".

They have tried these "fire guns" before, and they seem to be as powerful as the iron cannons of Luo's family.They also planned to build an iron cannon team like the Luo family, but these weapons were too expensive.Moreover, these "ghosts" (in fact, they are Zhu Yinfeng and others who are traveling around the coast of Japan) are not willing to sell too much, so in the end they can only buy a few to enjoy themselves.

Now suddenly seeing "ghosts" appearing outside the city, Shan Xingyun and others were shocked.He couldn't help thinking: When did these "ghosts" actually want to sacrifice their lives for the Luo family?

Just when everyone in Shannu City was astonished, the soil slope outside the city had been completely remodeled by Ander's people.This is Datong's temporary fort.At this time, the Iron Cannon Squad, which is the guardian force, has already set up a bunker nearby.As long as the Dayou's army in the city dared to run out, they would have the confidence to fight them back.

Shan Xingyun on the city wall also quickly realized that something was wrong, but when he saw the Luo family's iron cannon squad that had brought him nightmare dreams, he swallowed the order to leave the city that was about to be exported.In his opinion, even if he ordered troops to be dispatched, those soldiers would just stand still in front of the city gate.After all, the nightmare that those iron cannons brought to him also brought the same nightmare to these soldiers who experienced the battle yesterday.If ordered by force.It might lead to riots among the soldiers.Of course, at this time, he also suspected that this was a trick of the Luo family to lure the enemy.Just when he was hesitating.There was a new move outside the city.

"Fire me the cannon!" Seeing that everything was ready, and the enemy troops in the city did not dare to come out as Yoshida Shigemasa said, Ander naturally hurriedly continued to give orders.

Following Ander's order, a group of soldiers with thick waists and thighs slowly began to move towards the remodeled fort while chanting "hehe, hehe".They were struggling to lift something extremely heavy in their hands.

As these ashigaru approached, a long cylindrical weapon that seemed to be made of copper showed its true face.This is the only large tube that the Luo family has successfully built so far.

Due to the reasons of technology, talents, and raw materials, with the current strength of the Luo family, it would be considered astonishing to be able to forge three large tubes in one year.The two large cylinders that had been forged before exploded during the inspection.And the current big tube is the third one that has personally experienced Zheng Liang's inspection.

After the big tube was placed, Ander compared his thumb, opened and closed his eyes, and looked left and right at the mountain city for a while, and then asked the ashigaru to adjust the angle of the big tube again, and finally Nodding with satisfaction.

Just now, Ander was calculating the distance based on the target of the attack, thereby adjusting the height of the muzzle, as well as correcting the azimuth, calculating the arc, and the trajectory of the shell.Since there is no crank, screw, or gun mount for a field gun, Ander can only rely on his own experience.

The military forces of the Ouchi family on the city saw a strange object suddenly moved by the "ghost man" outside the city, and they immediately probed curiously to inspect it.Even Shan Xingyun and others who are the main generals are no exception.He really couldn't figure out what the sudden arrival of the Luo family's army was doing there. If he thought that he could lure them out of the city, it could only show that the general of the Luo family outside the city was too naive.

"Fill the shells!"

"complete!"

Seeing that everything was ready, Ander slowly pulled out the Taidao from his waist and said loudly, "Get ready!"

The ashigaru next to Datong immediately raised the torch in his hand.

"ignition!"

The match was buzzing and getting shorter and shorter.

Everyone on the Luo family's side held their breath, and the Ashigaru members of the Luo family's Iron Cannon Squad, who had long been firing experience, immediately stuffed grass roots into their ears.And Shigemasa Yoshida, who had been reminded by Ander long ago, also ordered the soldiers under his command to plug their ears quickly.

"Boom!"

The roar of the big tube suddenly sounded.The hot iron egg spiraled like a bow and arrow in the inner string and flew towards the mountain city.In this battle, the first big tube of the Japanese country finally showed the world on the battlefield.What about power? (To be continued..)
