Edo Traveler

Vol 8 Chapter 67: Jiangchuan died and Fujin lost

The soldier who was summoned was holding a rifle that was different from the ordinary soldier, and its bullet was a paper cartridge with a flash hider. If you must name it, it might be called the Sharps experimental rifle.

   High precision and great power, temporarily, there are no other shortcomings except for air leakage in the breech. But in order to solve the problem of air leakage, Sharps installed a platinum ring in the breech, which caused the price of the entire gun to rise by a large amount. So in 1851, when Sharps recommended this rifle to the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Navy refused.

   After all, if you buy a large quantity, if you buy him 50,000, you may be able to buy someone else’s 70,000. This is obviously not in line with the military's procurement conditions, and naturally it has to lose the election.

   Lieutenant Colonel Preble felt that this thing was very useful for hunting, so he paid for a few of them, and now they carry them all and give them to his guards.

  Since when hunting, even wild ducks with a distance of more than 200 meters can be hit, and now the distance is still 200 meters, Jiang Chuan Yinglong is a person, or on the horse, the target is clear, how can he not hit?

   "Boom!"

   A gunshot, mixed with the whistling and neighing of the horses and horses, did not attract much attention. But Egawa Eigen, who lowered his head to take the gun, only felt a sharp pain, and the blood blossoms in his chest blossomed in an instant. In order to revive the shogunate, Eigawa, who had worked so hard to revive the shogunate, was conspired by the villain in this way.

   The vitality in his body quickly faded, and Yinglong Jiang was unable to control his body anymore, and fell off his horse heavily. The family members on the left and right rushed forward, only to find that Yinglong Jiang was shot in the chest and his complexion quickly became gray.

   "I only hate that I failed to defeat Mi Hu, and I succeeded..."

   With infinite regret and pain, he has been loyal to the lord of the Nirayama Ekawa clan of the shogunate for generations, the famous gate since Kamakura, Yamato Genji (Kiyowa Genji Lai family), Egawa Ryu, Egawa Taro Saemon, and Hideryu!

   The soldiers of the mission team who had been firmly resisting the American army saw Jiang Chuan Yinglong died in battle. For a while, the hearts of the people were very bad. Some people robbed Jiang Chuan Yinglong's body and retreated back. Others sent a counter-charge to the U.S. military to fight to the death to buy time for the rescue of the remains. More people wavered in their military spirit and unconsciously retreated backwards.

   I lost...

   "Victory!" Preble didn't care who he ordered to be killed. He only knew that the extremely determined shogunate army that had resisted was completely shaken after the chief officer was killed, and there was a widespread defeat.

   At this time, Hidetoshi Jiang, who was commanding artillery against the U.S. Navy at the gun emplacement, was happy that he was gathering the enemy ships. A blood-gray-faced family member suddenly ran over and looked for him.

   "Young Master, Young Master..."

   "What?" Jiang Chuan Yingmin's heart trembled for no reason.

   "My lord, my lord is dead!" The family members burst into tears.

"what!"

   A few hours ago, the father and son motivated each other to guard Futtsu for the Tokugawa family, guard the shogunate, and defeat the rice animal. They never thought it would be a farewell.

   "The matter is urgent, the rice animals are coming fiercely, you have to pack your soldiers and horses, and build a defense!" Right and left immediately persuaded.

   Now that the U.S. warships on the sea are listed, a large number of U.S. forces have landed on the road, and it is difficult for Futtsu to stand alone. This is the end of the matter, and we should retreat as soon as possible to preserve the strength of our troops. The artillery can still be forged, but the veterans of the Chuanxi team have died one by one.

   Jiang Chuan Yingmin, who was in a mess in his mind, was reminded by the servants, and he also knew the importance of preserving troops. But when Futtsu lost, the gateway to Edo Bay opened, leaving only the Shinagawa Fort defense line.

  If you lose again, the shogunate will be in danger...

   "Report to His Royal Highness Edogawa, then blow up the artillery, bring only the bullets, and retreat immediately." No matter how difficult it is, he must go down. The US army can be seen from a distance. Hidetoshi Egawa must protect the artillery of the Chuanxi team.

  …………………………

   "Boom boom boom boom..." Futtsu Fortress, which was fighting the US Navy, suddenly exploded on a large scale.

   "What's going on! What's going on in Futtsu!" Obviously the battle was still stable, and Chuemon felt that it was obviously able to hold the U.S. troops, so Futtsu suddenly exploded.

   "There is a boat coming from Futtsu." Katsukai boat pointed to the surface of the sea, and a small boat was coming to Uraga at a great risk.

  The visitor was quickly sent to Chuemon, who only looked at his face and knew that something was going on in Futtsu, so he hurried forward to ask him two steps.

   "His Royal Highness, Hideryu-sama Egawa died in the battle, Hidetoshi Egawa blew up the fort, cleaned up the remaining troops, and is evacuating to Kisarazu!" The words of the visitor made it difficult for Tademon to accept for a while.

   Jiangchuan Yinglong died in battle!

what happened!

   "Your Majesty, look." Sheng Haizhou pointed to Futtsu.

   Not long after the explosion, the Stars and Stripes suddenly rose on the Futtsu Fort, which was still ignited, and was accompanied by the American national anthem "Stars and Stripes". It took tens of thousands of taels of gold and took one and a half years. Chugoemon exhausted all means to build the Futtsu Fortress. In just four hours, it was lost.

   "Can't you escape this fate after all..." Chuemon murmured to himself, but no one heard him.

   "Tadarozaemon~www.readwn.com~ Be sure to stick to Kisarazu. If there is another mistake, please cut your belly and apologize!"

   "In addition, it is reported that Edo, Futtsu fell to the defense, Tanan died in battle, our military strength is insufficient, Uraga may be difficult to save, please Fukui Hou do other plans."

   Lost the cooperation of the Futtsu Fort, Uraga Fort lost the support to the east, the British and American navy can directly besiege the fort. If that's the case, it's fine. I'm afraid Perry will show up directly outside the Shinagawa Fort. When the people of Edo see dozens of battleships rushing in, the people's hearts will definitely be bad.

   The main strategy of the upper shogunate, which was originally barely firm, would be greatly shaken, and then comprehensively transformed into peace and compromise. At that time, let alone any tariff agreement or extraterritoriality, or even directly opening up concessions and ceding the outer islands, it is possible to agree.

   Unwilling, unwilling, unwilling!

   How can I lose so fast!

   "For this time, Mie is so powerful that he will inevitably break into Shinagawa. If His Royal Highness is Kuruga Uraga, I might be harmed by him!" Hachiro Amano didn't expect the Chuanxi team to collapse so quickly.

   His meaning is very clear, taking advantage of the Uraga Peninsula has not been completely isolated by the British and American forces, directly led the troops to retreat into the Shinagawa line. Shinagawa Forts are all Odaiba on the sea. As long as the supply is sufficient, it is absolutely difficult to be captured for a while. If you delay the U.S. military for a few more days, there may be a turning point.

   "Yes, Uraga is isolated and difficult to defend. I don't have a navy, such as a dead place. I must preserve my troops and consolidate Shinagawa!" Katsukaishu thought about it, and that was the same thing.
