Warring States Eagle

Outside the city of Meimuli, the Luo family's big tube team is about to fire big tube shells.

At this time, Ander's eyes showed a serious look, he slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and said loudly: "Get ready!"

The standing staff of Datong who were already in place immediately raised their torches.

"ignition!"

The match was buzzing and getting shorter and shorter.

Everyone in the Luo family, who had long been familiar with the power of Datong, immediately held their breaths, and many even began to stuff their ears with thatch.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Five consecutive roars of large barrels suddenly sounded, and a group of dazzling flames flashed from the muzzles of each large barrel, and then the solid bullets passed over the top of the city, drawing a high trajectory in the air, and after reaching the highest point, Immediately, the shells began to fall and hit them directly.While the cannonballs were rushing, there was a screaming and piercing whistling sound, which was extremely powerful.

The first cannonball hit a little farther, directly overturned the curved wheel at the top of the city, and smashed into the rear, making a dull and loud landing sound that made people vomit blood.The ashigaru warriors of Meimuli city on the top of the city, seeing this scene, ran away with their heads in their hands, and let out a burst of terrified cries.Along with the thumping sound of the five large cylinders in the front row, shells were fired into the air one by one.

The second shell hit the curved wheel on the outer pill, and there was only a loud bang, and then sawdust and lime flew across the city wall, and billowing smoke covered the bullet point.Just when the smoke and dust hadn't cleared away, the third shell drew a trajectory, and with a piercing whistling sound, it forcibly hit the stone wall.

The solid cannonball made of stone directly smashed the stone wall into a big hole.And the stone bomb burst immediately, shooting out terrible fragments of debris, and the people in Meimuli City near the bomb crater let out shrill screams.It was obviously injured by the stone flake.Immediately after the fourth shell hit the Waimaru, the ashigaru people in Umemure Castle in the city were in a mess, running around in terror, as if they had fallen into hell on earth.

But the misfortune of the defenders of Umemori Castle did not end. The fifth shell hit the foot of the arrow oar of Umemaru.At the moment of being shot, the wooden arrow scull made a terrible rattling sound.This is the sound of wood cracking, followed by the raised arrow oar.Like a drunk person, he kept shaking from side to side.Facing the crumbling arrows and sculls, the people in Meimuli city under the curved wheel gave a light cry and fled far away.

Arrow oar finally died.With a crisp and extremely crisp sound, the supporting beams collapsed.Then the whole arrow scull broke from the center!

"boom!"

The arrow scull tilted outward in a daze, directly crushing and hitting the curved wheel.The curved wheel was broken immediately, and half of the arrow scull was lying inside the curved wheel, and the other was outside the curved wheel.And from the top of the collapsed arrow oar, three people fell out of the window one after another. They uttered terrifying screams, and then fell into the city of Meimuli.

On the side of a half-collapsed curved wheel, Saeki Masatada trembled all over.Crouching under the base of the wall, the famous knife that he has always cherished is now far away by him.As the main general of the Saeki family's army in Umere Castle.Saeki Masataka has no samurai look at all now, his face is covered with dust, his hands are holding his head, and he is sitting there half squatting.His eyes were out of focus, even though in front of him, there was a dead body.

The body was that of an Ashgaru who had been hit in the head by flying debris.The opponent's head was flowing with yellow-white slurry.But Saeki Zhenchu ​​didn't feel sick at all, he felt that he could get hit by the shelling just now.Saving one's life is already lighter than this one who fell to death, I don't know how much luckier it is.

"I can't go on like this anymore. I would rather be beheaded by a warrior openly than be crushed to death by this stone!"

Saeki Shinchu stood up abruptly, and looked under the curved wheel, where the muzzles of the Takeda Army's guns were still emitting green smoke.Saeki Masatada's eyes wandered around, and there was a scene of panic in the outer pill.

Immediately, Saeki Zhenchu ​​pulled an ashigaru over and shouted loudly, "Where is Shinna Chumoto-sama now?"

This ashigaru also covered his head, and it took him a while to react, pointing at the side of the stone wall tremblingly.Saeki Zhenzhong left the name and ran over.On the edge of the bomb crater in the stone wall, Shinna Tadamoto, the commander of the Shimadzu family's army who defended Umemori Castle, was squatting there.

There was a bullet crater sunken beside Xinna Zhongyuan, and beside the bullet crater was the body of a Shimadzu samurai who was also hit by a shell.After staring at the samurai's body for a while, Shinna Tadamoto raised his head and found that the surrounding defenders, whether it was the Shimadzu family or the Saeki family, were in chaos.

"It's really messy! It seems that it can't resist the enemy's attack!"

The first round of shooting by the five large tubes of the Luo family was completed.In fact, the bombardment did not cause many casualties, and the buildings were not damaged much, but for the defenders in the city, many people saw such a sharp weapon as a big tube for the first time (although the Luo family used it in previous wars) The weapon Datong has been used, but other areas of the Warring States period at this time are generally inconvenient in transportation and blocked in information, so these people naturally don’t know about Datong), and what is even more fearful is the deterrent power of Datong to people’s psychology.The roaring sound and the explosion of the projectile can completely shock people's psychology.

"Keep shooting! Concentrate on shooting at the city gate!" When the smoke from the shells cleared, Zheng Liang ordered again.

As a result, Ander, who received Zheng Liang's order, immediately gave an order, and immediately there was a big tube standing by holding a big pole, and cleared the gun's muzzle, which was still emitting black smoke.

Ander continued to speak loudly: "Reload."

Following Ander's order, the standing staff stuffed the appropriate amount of gunpowder bullets into the muzzle again.Seeing that the filling was complete, Ander raised the sword again and shouted loudly to all sides.

"Prepare!"

"ignition!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." The five big cylinders of the Luo family fired another round of solid shells.This cannonball went towards the city gate.

"Hurry up, fill the city gate with soil, hurry up!" Xin Nazhongyuan, who was lying in the middle of the battlements and prepared to avoid another round of shelling from the Luo family, ordered immediately upon seeing this.It's just that the defenders in the city were scared out of their wits by the Luo family's shells, and they dared to run into the city gate, so after Xin Na Zhongyuan shouted a few times.The defenders still hid behind the hiding places and did not move a step.In desperation, Xinna Zhongyuan had no choice but to personally lead people to the gate opening to block the city gate, so as to prevent the city gate from being breached by the Luo family's army.

However, just as Xinna Zhongyuan commanded a few warriors to pile up a little soil.At this time, the city gate, which had already experienced three rounds of shelling in a row due to Xin Na Zhongyuan's previous delay, finally couldn't resist, and a corner of the city gate was suddenly pierced directly by a shell.The shell that pierced through the wooden board of the city gate did not stop, but was thrown forward and hit Xinna Zhongyuan's left leg directly.Shinna Tadamoto, who had almost broken his leg, fell to the ground and screamed, and everyone had to urgently carry Shinna Tadamoto to Nimaru's courtyard for treatment.

"My lord, what's the situation outside?" It was the middle-aged monk who sang "Guo Sheng" for them last night who healed Xin Na Zhongyuan.After wrapping up Xinna Zhongyuan.The middle-aged monk also asked immediately.

"Alas!" Faced with the middle-aged monk's question, Xin Na Zhongyuan didn't know how to answer it.The current situation is really too dangerous.It is likely that Meimuli City was breached by the Luo family's army.

While Shinna Tadamoto was still sighing, a samurai from the Shimadzu family suddenly ran into the door. When he saw Shinna Tadamoto, he immediately shouted: "My lord, it's not good, the other party has already broken through the gate of Waimaru. .”

"What?" Xin Na Zhongyuan and the middle-aged monk were shocked when they heard the words.Isn't this too fast?Although he knew that he might not be able to hold the castle this time, but it wouldn't be so quick to lose Waimaru, right?As long as Saeki Matada followed the request when Ya was forcibly lifted out of the city gate, replaced his original command position there, and led his men to take the risk of blocking the city gate, then the opponent would definitely not be able to capture Waimaru so easily.Did something happen during the period?

"Lord Saeki retreated into the Honmaru with the defenders..." the samurai continued.

"..." Xinna Zhongyuan and the middle-aged monk immediately looked at each other after hearing the words, not knowing how to comment.

"Find a piece of wood and carry me outside. I want to command the defenders myself." After thinking for a while.Xin Na Zhongyuan ordered immediately.

"It's not good, it's not good..."

Just as Shinna Tadamoto's order had just been given, another Shimadzu family samurai ran in hastily.

"My lord. It's not good, I surrendered."

"What? Surrendered? Tell me, what's going on?" Xin Na Zhongyuan's face changed when he heard the words, and he asked immediately.

"That Lord Saiki opened the gate of Nimaru and surrendered to the enemy." The samurai of the Shimadzu family who had just arrived said with a sad face.

"Ah?" Xin Na Zhongyuan and the middle-aged monk were really pale at this time.The situation changed too quickly, from Xin Na Zhongyuan being carried into the courtyard to just now.Only a short time has passed.

"How could this happen!" Shinna Zhongyuan panicked in his heart, at this moment he still clearly remembered Zueki Zhenzhong's bold words of determination to fight the Luo family to the death last night.But now...

"Kill! Kill..." Just as Xin Na Zhongyuan was panicking, there was already a thunderous cry of killing from the Luo family's army outside the courtyard.

"My lord, hurry up, run away! The enemy is about to arrive!" At this moment, a Shimadzu family samurai who was shot three times in the body rushed in, "The outside is about to be overwhelmed."

Xinna Zhongyuan took a look at the visitor, who was Yiruo, his valet who had been following him all the time, so he shook his head and said, "Escape? Hehe! Where are you going to escape? It seems that we should make some preparations. After signaling Yiruo to stay, Xinna Zhongyuan then turned around and quietly looked at the middle-aged monk beside him.Faced with such a situation, he seemed to have made a decision all of a sudden.

The middle-aged monk had also taken off his battle uniform at this time, and was wearing cassock.

"Please outside the door." Seeing that the middle-aged monk had understood what he meant, Shinna Tadamoto immediately said to the first two Shimadzu samurai who came in one after the other.

"Please take care, my lord!" The two warriors gave Xinna Zhongyuan a deep salute, and then rushed out brandishing their knives.Only the samurai Yiruo who was hit by three arrows remained.

"Master, can you pour me a glass of wine?"

"Yes, please wait."

"How is it? The weather is good today, and I'm in a very good mood." After taking out the wine utensils and wine in a courtyard room, the middle-aged monk came to Xin Na Zhongyuan and began to prepare the wine slowly.

Facing the words of the middle-aged monk, Xinna Zhongyuan did not reply until the monk prepared the wine, and the wine was poured into an exquisite cup in front of Xinna Zhongyuan. Xinna Zhongyuan drank three cups happily Finally, he said: "Come on, master, it's your turn."

The middle-aged monk looked at Xinna Zhongyuan with a meaningful smile on his face, and then he drank three glasses in a row, and then handed the glass to Yiruo. "Come on, let me pour you some wine." Even after the latter took off the feather arrow that had just been inserted into his chest at this time, he saw the wine handed over by the monk, and immediately took it respectfully.

The middle-aged monk looked at Yiruo drinking dry wine with a smile on his face, and then said to Xin Na Zhongyuan: "My lord, I, a monk, should go ahead and find the way for you." After speaking, he tore off his clothes and revealed With a calm expression on his chest, he picked up a knife beside him and stabbed it down his abdomen.

Xin Na Zhongyuan looked at everything in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yi Ruo, you can end it for him. As expected of a master, he understands my heart."

People may not be able to completely free themselves from confusion and attachment after all.The middle-aged monk's seppuku suicide actually contained resentment towards Xinna Zhongyuan and despair of the current situation, but Xinna Zhongyuan didn't think so.Under Yi Ruo Tai Dao, the head of the middle-aged monk fell to the floor.

"Okay, I'm sorry for the Saeki family. My lord, from now on, let me be loyal to you!" Seeing the blood dripping on the floor, Xin Nazhongyuan twisted his mouth and smiled, "It's my turn." He said He stopped laughing, closed his eyes quietly, and slowly tore off his clothes.Wearing a clean white coat, he had a calm attitude and silently raised his sword.

"The enemy is probably about to break into the gate." Ruo, who had already stood at the gate, reminded again.

When Xinna Zhongyuan heard this, he immediately stabbed the tip of the knife towards his left abdomen.

"My lord, I'll help you..." Yi Ruo, who had watched Xin Na Zhongyuan commit suicide by harakiri, came to the courtyard at this time and said.

"No need!" Xinna Zhongyuan yelled, twisted his face, and swiped the knife to the right.As if he had cut a vital point, the white cloth wrapped around his abdomen turned red with blood, and Xin Na Zhongyuan's face turned ashen. "Hahaha..." He looked at Yiruo, as if he wanted to say something, but finally he didn't.In an instant, the soil on the ground of the courtyard was soaked in a pool of blood, and Xin Na Zhongyuan collapsed to the ground and died.

Yi Ruo quietly looked at everything in the courtyard, pondered for a while, and finally confirmed that Xin Na Zhongyuan was dead, so he stood up with a knife in his hand, and walked around the corridor a few times.

At this time, the army of the Luo family that rushed into Erwan was already approaching, and the sound of clashing swords and fighting continued to enter the ears.Of course, Yiruo was ready to die with Shinna Zhongyuan, but he didn't know whether he should rush to the enemy who broke in and die, or commit seppuku.Just when Yiruo turned to the third circle, a warrior from the Luo family suddenly charged into Jingyuan, and then attacked Yiruo with a gun from behind.

"Ah!" The warrior's spear pierced Yiruo's sleeve.Yi Ruo immediately jumped to the side.

"Wait!" In the face of the Luo family warriors who were chasing after him, Yi Ruo, who was holding a big knife, seemed to be threatening and begging, "I have witnessed Mr. Xinna Zhongyuan committing suicide with his own eyes, and I will go with him. Come here. If you approach, don't blame me for being rude."

The warrior of the Luo family took a step back when he heard the words, and when he saw that there were indeed two corpses and a head in the room, he hurriedly put away his spear and rushed over there.Obviously, he thought the head on the floor belonged to Xin Na Zhongyuan, which was a great military achievement.Yi Ruo came to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down, pointed the knife at his abdomen...

When Yiruo's body fell slumped, the surroundings were already in a scuffle.The fire of karma in troubled times was not extinguished by Xinna Zhongyuan and the middle-aged monk, but burned more and more vigorously. (to be continued)
