Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 750
While Osaka Castle was bombarded from all sides, it also had to bear the condescending bombardment of the Osaka Fort into the city.

This is no longer as simple as being surrounded by enemies. 21 shells on the Osaka Fort directly bombed the city of Osaka, blasting many Japanese hiding behind the city walls into meatloaf.

Most of the elite soldiers and generals of the shogunate were concentrated in Osaka Castle. If it was ordinary soldiers, they would have already started to be defeated.

Although many people were bombarded to death, they did not panic, but quickly searched for a place to hide.

At this time, at the head of Nancheng City, a section of the crenel was cut off by the artillery of the Ming army.

The large groups of Japanese soldiers were no longer visible. They hid behind the crenels to avoid shells.

The soldiers of the Ming army began to set up the siege ladder and launched a fierce attack on the city wall.

As long as the Ming army climbed to the top of the city, with their personal bravery and advanced firearms, they could kill Little Japan and capture Osaka.

However, when the Ming army climbed to the crenel, there was a sudden roar of killing from the top of the city, and a large group of wretched little Japanese appeared again, firing muskets at the Ming army below the city.

Fortunately, the Ming army wore bulletproof vests and helmets on their heads.

Although the steel helmet can't stop the Minie bullets from shooting, it is almost impossible for the Vulcan gun to hurt the Ming army.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Boom bang bang..."

The Ming army was shot one after another. This is the first time in two years that they have been shot intensively by the enemy.

However, bulletproof vests and steel helmets have protected the lives of Qi's army and marines.

Only a dozen soldiers of the Qi Family Army were shot in the legs by Vulcan guns.

But the Qi family's army reacted quickly, and when they found something wrong, they immediately threw the grenade out and retreated quickly.

Because they didn't know how to dodge, the explosion of the grenade caused nearly 1000 Japanese casualties.

Qi Jiguang originally thought that all the Japanese at the gap were killed or fled, but he didn't expect that they all hid.

This can be regarded as a mistake in his tactics and judgment, which injured more than a dozen people under his command.

Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong, who love soldiers like sons, were furious and decided to turn Osaka City into an empty city.

"Come here, pass on the order of the governor to throw all the shells into Osaka City!"

Daming's artillery technology has long been successfully localized, and Hongyi cannons are no longer used.

It completely adopts independent research and development, and uses domestic materials, which fills the gap in the country.

And it can be mass-produced on a large scale, reaching the most advanced international level in the seventeenth century. Its representative product is the Shenyu General 2!
The ammunition cart of each artillery in the artillery battalion will carry a simple toolbox for some simple repairs on the artillery cart.

Each artilleryman also carries a full set of carpenter's and blacksmith's tools, which are used to maintain the cannon and complete some more complicated repairs.

Accompanied by deafening bangs, the artillery positions of the Ming army roared again, and countless iron filings and lead fell from the sky, hitting the top of the city of Osaka.

This time it was not only the general Shenwei, but also the mortar and Maokang bombs.

The Japanese army on the head of Osaka City also fired back, but was soon covered by the artillery fire of the Ming army.

Qi's army had 2000 mortars, [-] rocket launchers, and more than [-] mortar shells fell on the head of Osaka City within a dozen deliberate times.

In half a stick of incense time, the Qi's army's mortar shells were almost used up.

No matter how heroic the Japanese army was, they were flesh and blood. How could they resist the large-scale bombing by mortars, and the entire city was flattened.

The mortar shells all carried parabolas, and this time there was really no Japanese army in sight.

The head of Osaka City was bloody and bloody, and there were fragments of Japanese soldiers' limbs everywhere.

The blood on the city flowed into the moat along the city wall, and the water in the entire moat was stained red.

Is this the end?Of course not, the Maokang bombs are still bombarding continuously, and a raging fire has already ignited in the city.

The Japanese army did not expect the Ming army to fire shotguns, and thousands of people were killed and injured on the spot without warning.

Tadaki Sakai, who came to command, was also wounded in the thigh by a piece of iron filings, and was helped by his personal guards to a doorway to bandage him for rescue, and then he was carried away on his back.

In fact, they were not shotgun shells, but mortar shells. Sakai Tadaki of course would not understand.

After several rounds of bombing, the city was filled with black smoke, and the Japanese soldiers who had just escaped were not spared, only the corpses of the bombed Japanese soldiers were scattered all over the city, each one screaming like ghosts.

The naval guns on the other three sides were also violently bombarding the city wall of Osaka, causing heavy casualties to the Japanese army. They withdrew only when they saw that no one had landed on the battleship.

Many houses in the city caught fire, and countless people were burned to death.

While being bombarded from all sides, the Japanese army in the city also suffered from the condescending attack from the Osaka Fort on the city.

Many people in the city were blasted to pieces by solid bullets that suddenly fell from the sky.

The Osaka Fort was originally an important barrier for Osaka's defense, but now it has become a sharp weapon to kill themselves.

The people in the entire Osaka city and the Tokugawa shogunate were in a state of panic, as if the end of the world was coming.

"Rumble..."

The city wall of the southern city finally failed to withstand the bombardment of General Shenwei's artillery, and collapsed more than 50 meters, completely filling the moat.

Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong laughed when they saw it, and now the engineering ladder was useless.

Qi Jiguang raised his revolver and fired into the city:
"boom……"

"The Qi family army charges!"

"Yes"

Under the command of officers at all levels, [-] Qi's troops charged towards Osaka Castle.

Of course, the Ming Marine Corps could not lag behind, pulled out a revolver and pulled the trigger:

"boom……"

"Marines Charge"

"Go ahead!"

The Ming army screamed strangely, and rushed into the city of Osaka from the collapsed city wall in the south.

All the power of the Tokugawa shogunate is now in the hands of the elder Sakai Tadaki, and the new general Tokugawa Iemitsu is just a decoration.

If the shogunate no longer exists, he Sakai Tadakiyo is nothing.

In order to continue to control the power of the shogunate, after learning that Osaka Castle was broken, Sakai Tadaki decided to give it another go.

After simply bandaging the wound, Sakai Chuqing immediately led his subordinates to rush out of the shogunate to support the defenders.

Shouting loudly along the way to command the infantry's defense can be described as devotion to duty.

Under the personal command of the shogunate, the Japanese army gradually restored order, and they began to re-arrange with strong discipline.

The biggest character of the Japanese is one tendon and two poles, with a bad tendency to seek death and glory, and tend to be desperadoes.

It's not that the Japanese soldiers are brave, it's mainly because Sakai Tadakiyo just made a promise to kill a soldier of the Ming army and reward him with ten dragon coins and ten acres of land.

There is no way, Japan's currency is messy, and only Ming's currency can be used.

With such good treatment, the morale of the Japanese army was immediately boosted, risking being shot dead, throwing stones from every corner, and constantly shooting the Ming army with muskets and bows.

Facing the tenacious resistance of the Japanese army, the Ming army's will to fight was very firm. They all shot and killed the Japanese army with red eyes like wild animals, vowing to hack these little Japanese to death.

At first, the Japanese army seemed to have taken a stimulant and fought very hard. The attack of the Ming army was stubbornly resisted.
