Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 150 The little Japanese is going to do his best!

Kagoshima Castle, the main city of the Shimadzu family, is very close to the port of Fangjinzhai, so close that Fangjinzhai can even be regarded as the outer city of Kagoshima Castle.

Kagoshima Castle is on the mountain, while Fangjin Village is by the sea.

This city is not big, but it is the iron cannon manufacturing center of the Shimadzu family. root and hope.

At such a short distance, Kagoshima Castle has already discovered the fierce battle erupting on the sea.

As the head of the family, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu came to the city wall to observe immediately, and watched the naval battle from beginning to end.

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu's eyes were red as he watched his navy being killed by the enemy wearing the sun and moon flag.

The Minhai Fleet went crazy, and he was going crazy too. What would he use to fight the Tokugawa shogunate without the navy.

The reason why the Shimadzu family was able to obey the Tokugawa shogunate is largely because of the existence of the Shimadzu family navy, and the shogunate did not dare to mess around.

At this time, only the Fujian Sea Fleet and a large number of shipwrecks remained on the sea. The Fujian Sea Fleet did not stop there, but swept towards Kagoshima City.

A sail surged out from below the horizon, two sails, three sails, countless sails crowded towards the sky, as if they wanted to squeeze the sky even bigger.

This was a scene the Shimadzu family had never seen before.

The main force on the way to Shimadzu's house watched the ships of the Fujian Sea Fleet approaching Kagoshima Castle step by step from the sea.

"Baga! These bastards! My sailor!" Mitsuhisa Shimadzu punched the stone city wall, even though the phalanx was bleeding, he ignored it.

He probably knew who the enemy was at this time. It should be the Yanping Wang Navy that dominated the East Asian sea. Could it be that the shogunate cooperated with them to get rid of him?
Just as he was thinking about the origin of the enemy, his subordinate suddenly interrupted him.

"Patriarch, the enemy is about to land!"

Seeing the Fujian Sea Fleet getting closer, a samurai from the Shimadzu family hurriedly reminded them.

"Quick, send orders! Pull out the cannons you bought from the Dutch! Sink all these damn Ming warships!"

Shimadzu Tsunaki gritted his teeth and ordered.

Thanks to the superior geographical location of the Shimadzu family, the first stop of the Dutch who came by boat from the south to do business must be Kagoshima.

Therefore, taking advantage of the geographical convenience, the Shimadzu family bought a lot of Hongyi cannons from the Dutch.

Due to the high price and the scarcity of Hongyi cannons, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu usually offered them as family heirlooms, but now it is the most dangerous moment, and they must be let out!

Kagoshima Castle was built on the top of a [-]-meter-high mountain. If attacked from land, it would be easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, it is too close to the sea, and the artillery of the Minhai Fleet can threaten its city wall.

This battle is very dangerous, because with the Minhai Fleet, Kagoshima City will face the enemy's naval guns.

Now is the time to fight with the wealth of the family. Seeing Hongyi Cannon leaning against the city wall quietly, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu felt a little bit safe.

Seeing that the enemy is getting closer and closer, it has come to the shooting range of the Hongyi Cannon!
"What are you waiting for, hit the gun!"

With Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's order, the soldiers lifted the gun covers of these artillery pieces and began to counterattack.

Boom boom boom...

The sound of artillery roared, and more than 20 Hongyi cannons took the lead in launching the artillery attack from the Minhai Fleet, which was still adjusting its formation.

However, due to the distance between the two sides, only four 10-pound shells hit the two big bird ships, causing casualties of several soldiers, and the rest of the shells fell into the sea.

Although the damage to the Fujian Sea Fleet was not great, the beating was not in vain. This made all the soldiers of the Shimadzu family watching the battle on the city wall rejoice, and even the nervous Shimadzu Mitsuhisa smiled.

"Command! Prepare to land! All ships bombard Japanese forts on the shore!"

Zhu Tiangui issued his latest order in due course.

As a result, the Minhai Fleet continued to approach the shore, quickly adjusted the angle of the hull, and began to bombard the fort on the city wall.

Soon, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu's smile was transferred to Zheng Kezang's face, and their cheers were drowned out by the artillery fire of the Minhai Fleet in the next moment.

Boom boom boom...

The counterattack of the Minhai Fleet is not as simple as ten or twenty artillery pieces. Before the Minhai Fleet went to Ryukyu, many backward Hongyi cannons were replaced with 12-pound Polu 1 artillery.

The firepower is not the same.

Similar to the big bird ship, the ratio of short heavy cannons to Polu cannons is about [-] to [-]. Each bird ship is equipped with [-] short heavy cannons and [-] Polu cannons. Because the short heavy cannons are lighter, they are equipped with more.

Coupled with the power bonus of sugar gunpowder, the Polu cannon has a longer range.

In contrast to the two, the firepower of the Minhai Fleet completely covered the city walls of Kagoshima.

The roar of hundreds of cannons tore many Shimadzu soldiers who were cheering a moment ago to pieces.

"how is this possible!"

Mitsuhisa Shimadzu stared wide-eyed, he really did not expect the enemy's cannon to hit Kagoshima Castle!
Due to the high terrain, when other artillery fired at Kagoshima City from the sea at the same time, they basically could not hit the Kagoshima City Wall.

It is precisely because of this that Mitsuhisa Shimadzu had the courage to stay in Kagoshima to defend the castle.

boom boom boom...

One after another, the Polu cannon shells fell, some shells hit the city wall, and the bouncing gravel overturned a large group of Shimadzu soldiers, and some fell into the city, piercing through rows of small wooden houses .

Because the range of the short heavy artillery is not enough, all the shells fired by the Minhai Fleet are solid shells. Long-barreled cannons such as the Polu Cannon are not suitable for bursting shells.

The solid bullet siege is a little bit worse, but Kagoshima Castle on the opposite side is not a bastion, and the solid bullet is enough!

Under the devastation of a large number of broken guns, Kagoshima's not-so-high city wall was quickly smashed to pieces, with gaps everywhere.

And many of the Hongyi cannons that brought them hope at the beginning were destroyed by the firepower of the Minhai Fleet.

Seeing Mitsuhisa Shimadzu's distressed, this is the accumulation of two generations of Shimadzu's family, just like that.

"Master Patriarch! Let's leave the city wall, it's about to collapse, and it's too late if we don't leave!"

A loyal Shimadzu samurai hurriedly pulled him under the city wall.

Looking at the cracked city walls and the soldiers hiding in bunkers everywhere, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, who was stunned, immediately woke up.

He also didn't care about the dignity of the nobles, he rolled and crawled with his hands and feet, and hurried down the city wall with his subordinates.

Boom!

Amidst the sound of artillery fire, part of the city wall built in 1601 A.D. collapsed, splashing smoke and dust all over the sky, killing many Japanese soldiers who had no time to escape.

Miserable wailing sounds, one after another.

The disheveled Shimadzu Tsunaki looked at the bloodless face of the collapsed city wall and muttered to himself: "Is this God's punishment?"
