Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 743 Bloodbath Kobe, Approaching Osaka
Seeing that the situation was urgent, the guard guarding Kobe didn't think much, and directly ordered the city gate to be opened.

At this time, Kobe Joyo didn't know about it, and Bantou didn't have time to inform him.

The Ming army was three miles away from the city. If the city gates were not opened, the Ming army cavalry would arrive before all the Japanese entered the city.

As soon as the city gate was opened, the Japanese army couldn't wait to enter the city.

The Japanese soldiers guarding the city gate loudly urged them to enter the city quickly:
"Hurry up, move faster, the Ming army is coming soon. My lord has ordered you to go directly to defend the city after entering the city..."

"Whoosh..."

"puff……"

Several shouting defenders were shouting, and suddenly cold lights flashed, and their throats were cut by Mingxie soldiers.

"Pfft..."

At the same time, other defenders at the city gate were sent to the west by the Ming Xie army.

"What are you doing...traitors..."

"boom……"

The actions of the Ming Xie army were quickly discovered by the defenders at the city gate, who immediately yelled and fired warning shots.

There are only 600 Japanese guarding the city gates in the city, and the Ming Xie Army has entered the city with nearly 2000 people.

The fire guns of the Ming Association Army fired two rounds of volleys and basically killed the defenders of the city gate.

Soon other Japanese soldiers in the city realized that something was wrong and came to support them one after another.

"Rumble..."

The Ming Xiejun immediately threw out [-] grenades, killing hundreds of Japanese on the spot.

However, seeing the power of the grenade, two Ming Xiejun couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

As a result, the grenade exploded in his hand, killing dozens of Ming Xie troops on the spot, and nearly knocked out Qianhu Moliqiu of the Ming Xie army.

All the parties involved were killed, and he couldn't pursue it, so he immediately ordered the Ming Xie Army to launch an attack.

"The next time you use Father Ming's artifact, you must pay attention to safety and charge me!"

More than 2000 Ming Xiejun left [-] to guard the city gate, and the others rushed into the city with Vulcan guns screaming.

At this time, Kobe Fantou already knew that he had been fooled. He didn't expect that his own people would help the Ming army defraud the city.

After learning that the city gate was lost, he rushed over with more than 5000 horsemen, trying to take back the city gate.

More than 2000 Ming Xiejun saw the arrival of the Japanese army and immediately formed an array to block them.

Both sides used Vulcan guns as their main weapons and fired fiercely at each other.

Not to mention, the Ming Xiejun had no fighting power in front of the Ming army, but today they were so tenacious that they actually blocked the attack of the Kobe defenders twice as large as them.

"Bang bang bang..."

The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the smell of gunpowder sprayed by Vulcan guns was everywhere.

After all, the number of the Ming Association Army was not dominant, and a large number of casualties soon occurred.

In order to encourage his subordinates to continue to fight bravely, the Ming Association Army Qianhu Maoli Qiushi shouted loudly:

"Brothers, you must hold on, for our family, for Daming..."

Kobe Fantou's nose was going to be crooked, he pointed at Mao Li and cursed:

"Mao Li, you shameless thing, you will die if you admit a thief as your father..."

Maori smiled:
"What's wrong with me thinking of a thief as my father? Who doesn't want to find a good father? If you have the ability, you should find a good father. Otherwise, Ming father will wash Kobe with blood..."

Fantou was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He had never seen such a shameless person who called Ming father directly...

"Bang bang bang..."

While they were yelling and cursing, both sides shot and fired, neither willing to admit defeat with their mouths or hands.

The strength lies there. With 2000 people using the same firearms, the Ming Association Army quickly fell more than 500 people, and the Kobe defenders also fell five or six hundred.

But there are more than 5000 defenders, and only 2000 Mingxie troops. If it wasn't for the imminent arrival of Father Ming, they would have been unable to hold on.

"Boom bang bang..."

As the Vulcan gun continued to fire, the Ming Association Army suffered more than 300 casualties. Mao Liqiu's eyes were red, and he kept shooting with the Vulcan gun.

Behind him, four puppet soldiers loaded ammunition for him, and Mao Liqiu just shot.

"Da da da……"

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and Zhu Cihong led the Ming army into the city.

Zhu Cihong was a little surprised by the performance of the Ming Xiejun.

When the Ming army attacked Xiaguan, they surrendered without resisting, and their combat effectiveness against their own people soared.

I originally wanted them to be cannon fodder, but now I see that this kind of cannon fodder is still somewhat useful.

Zhu Cihong gave an order:
"Little Tigers, support the Ming Xie Army."

"Yes"

Meng Liang played for a while:
"Artillery Preparation"

"Yes"

Five hundred artillerymen immediately set up two hundred portable mortars, and two hundred mortar shells were instantly stuffed into the barrels.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Mortar shells soared into the sky, flying towards the Kobe defenders overwhelmingly.

"Boom bang bang..."

The [-] Kobe defenders are not just a little bit, but also a large area of ​​darkness.

Two hundred mortar shells fell into the crowd and exploded. The lethality can be imagined, and blood and flesh flew all over the place...

"Cavalry charge!"

Zhang Fugui drew out his saber, and a hundred cavalry rushed over from both wings.

The big tiger and the little tiger gave an order, and a thousand Ming troops joined the battle with rifled guns.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

They are all sharpshooters, and the Kobe defenders fell one by one with a round of salvo.

"Father Ming's support is here, kill!"

Seeing the Ming army joining the battle, although the Ming Xie army suffered heavy casualties, they immediately charged towards the defenders in high spirits.

The defenders were dazed by the mortar bombardment and were immediately routed.

Huang Ming had already led the Qi family army branch to attack Chengdai Mansion.

The Kobe domain and several daimyos are still there and they cannot be allowed to escape.

The generation difference in weapons turned the Vulcan guns of Japanese soldiers into fire sticks, and it was too late to reload ammunition.

After more than 3000 people were killed, the remaining Japanese knelt down and raised their hands to surrender, and they all became free coolies of the Ming Dynasty.

Daming would not waste food on those Japanese soldiers who were injured and lost their labor force.

With a wave of Zhu Youjian's hand, Mao Li immediately led the Ming Xie army to kill them one by one.

Huang Ming and the others moved even more swiftly. Kobe Joyo, the Kobe Domain, and the five daimyos hadn't had time to escape, but they were all shot dead by Huang Ming.

The [-] infantry and warriors under their command just resisted for a while symbolically, and all surrendered.

After taking Kobe, the Ming army took a short rest, and immediately rushed to Osaka under the leadership of Zhu Cihong after dinner.

Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong are arranging tactics to attack the Osaka Fort on the Ming warship in Osaka Bay.

Qi Jiguang raised his baton, pointed to Osaka Bay on the map, and said solemnly:

"Today, our Imperial Navy Fleet of Ming Dynasty will blockade the Japanese navy on the sea surface, besiege several broken ships of the Japanese army in the port, and destroy them together with their forts!"

"Then the Qi Family Army will land at the Osaka Bay Fort. After the landing is complete, they will assist the Navy and Marine Corps to launch a general attack on Osaka City!"

"The task of the Navy is heavy, and we must not be idle. We must not let the Japanese troops in Osaka Castle go out to support the Osaka Fort, not even one of them!"

After Qi Jiguang finished speaking, he asked:
"Do you still have questions? If you have any difficulties, you can ask them."

"There is no difficulty, resolutely complete the combat mission, destroy the Osaka Fort and break through the Osaka Castle."

Seeing the high morale of the generals, Qi Jiguang waved:

"Okay! Make a fire and cook. After the meal, we will start attacking the city. Everyone must attack with all our strength. If anyone flinches, he will be killed immediately!"
