Volume Four, Chapter 185, Consumption

Oda Nobunaga used the distribution rights of silver mines as bait, which really aroused the interest of all the princes. Before he could tell someone to rush up to attack the city, all the princes were ready to try.

Since these people have been fooled, there is no need to hurry. If you give them a trick to get, they will rush forward and die.

He pretended to ponder for a while, then he said with a righteous face: "Since the general has asked me to be the general, I will naturally lead the way. I will fight this headline tomorrow. You will go to the next step, how about?"

If there is no benefit, you will naturally not have any objection. If you want to go, then go to the siege battle. The siege battle is not that fun. If you go first, you will definitely suffer the most casualties. There is no doubt about this.

The problem is that military merits are linked to the distribution rights of the silver mine at this moment, and there are only so many defenders in Omori City. The Oda clan leads his army to rush first. What if he rushes in in one fell swoop?

Wouldn't he have all taken away the military merits?

There are only two large cities in the west of Shijianguo. If he snatched all the military achievements of this city, it would mean that the distribution of the silver mine would take up a small part of it!

How can this work?

The princes from all walks of life shook their heads and said, "Master Oda, you are the commander, how can you lead your army to advance?"

"General Oda, we are not people who are afraid of life and death. Please let us go first."

After a group of people talked for a long time, Oda Nobunaga finally nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, you guys go first, I'll put the formation behind you."

These idiots, Ming Jun’s firearms are not a joke. Do you think Omori Castle is so easy to take?

You can first test the Ming army's firepower and consume the Ming army's ammunition!

So, a great battle began. The next morning, the princes of all walks of life hurriedly carried out the siege equipment they had made and set up a formation on the east side of Omori Castle. Just after Oda Nobunaga gave the order, they were about to rush up to grab the heads and silver.

Of course, these princes are not all idiots. For example, Takeda Shingen, who was not tempted by the distribution of silver mines. When everyone was ready to attack the city, he was calmly sorting out the siege equipment there, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry at all.

Yu Dayou on the city wall was not in a hurry. The tens of thousands of elite soldiers under him were equipped with thousands of medium-sized artillery and thousands of new flintlock rifles. If he encountered these 100,000 Japanese pirates in the wild, he might be worried that they would break through the defense line and rush into the formation. He didn't need to worry at all when defending the city. In his eyes, these people were just targets. It would be impossible to rush to the city wall.

He held up the telescope and glanced around lightly, then he ordered calmly: "Order all artillery cannons are loaded and ready to fire the cannon."

To be honest, he didn't have any specific understanding of the power of the medium-sized artillery, because when testing, it was just a target of wooden stakes or wooden boards, so it was impossible for real people to eat shells. Therefore, it is not yet concluded how much lethal the shells of the medium-sized artillery are. It can be said that the Japanese pirates in front of him are the target of the test.

The Japanese pirates didn't ask him to wait for long. More than a dozen people shouted in chaos. Then, with a wave of the Oda family's banner, 50,000 or 60,000 people rushed towards the city wall like bandits robbing money.

This posture was really scary. A large number of people rushed over, and the city wall, which was shaking with the sound of the sound, seemed to be shaking.

Yu Dayou still held the telescope calmly and carefully calculated the distance between the two sides until most of the siege troops rushed to within two miles in front of the city wall. He shouted: "All artillery, ignite, bombard the whole round, all musketeers loaded their guns and prepared to shoot."

His command seemed to be a little wrong, because the Ming army's artillery can fire more than five rounds in a row. Logically speaking, he should have ordered all artillery fire when the enemy was just approaching two miles, and then changed the sub-guns and bombarded five rounds in a row. In this way, the best attack effect can be achieved. However, he ordered the firing of the artillery until most of the enemy rushed to two miles. Why is this?

In fact, his idea was very simple. He was afraid that the artillery would bombard him too violently, so he scared away the 100,000 Japanese pirates in front of him!

It is not easy to get such an opportunity. These Japanese pirates are queuing up to be targets. If they know how powerful the Ming army's firepower is, they would never dare to rush up like this.

Just kidding, rushing forward so closely, the muskets and cannons basically don’t need any accuracy, just fire in the crowd, which is definitely a sweep of a large area.

According to the general results of the tests of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works, one thousand medium-sized artillery can cause at least two or three thousand casualties in one round. Five volleys will cause tens of thousands of casualties. In addition, thousands of new flintlock rifles, five volleys will cause half of the casualties. Will people rush up to eat shells and guns?

Obviously not. If a thousand medium-sized artillery fired five rounds in a row, these Japanese pirates would probably be scared and urinated. At that time, they would cause tens of thousands of casualties. Wouldn’t such a good opportunity be missed in vain!

He wanted to teach the Japanese pirates a painful lesson in this Damori City, which made them afraid of seeing the Ming army. Therefore, at the beginning, the firepower could not be too strong. He had to take it easy, so that these Japanese pirates felt that the firepower of the defenders in the city was not very fierce, and they still had hope of capturing Damori City. In this way, they would continue to rush over. If the firepower was fully opened at the beginning, they would probably be desperate and would even fart at that time.

The princes from all over the Japanese were not aware of Yu Dayou's thoughts. When the cannons roared, they did not show any fear, because Japan was not without cannons at this moment. A few of them could cast iron cannons. However, if the iron cannons were not transported, they did not bring them here. In their opinion, the iron cannons were only powerful, with tens of thousands of people. At most, thousands of people were killed by the Ming army in the city. This loss was nothing at all.

As soon as the roar of artillery subsided, the shells had fallen into the crowd. The power of these medium-sized artillery shells was not comparable to that of tiger squat cannons. If a shell was smashed, at least four or five people would have to be knocked away before it would lose its inertia and fall to the ground. In other words, one thousand shells caused at least four or five thousand casualties.

When Yu Dayou saw this result in the telescope, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. However, the princes from all over Japan were unaware of it and still urged his subordinates to rush towards the city wall desperately.

They don’t know how many casualties are, tens of thousands of people, how big the difference is between more than one thousand people falling down and four or five thousand people falling down. If they don’t count carefully, they will not notice it.

Yu Dayou was not in a hurry. It was not until they rushed to the city wall that he ordered all the musketeers to shoot in a round. Then four or five thousand people fell down. The princes from all over the world were still unmoved and desperately drove their subordinates to charge.

Finally, tens of thousands of people rushed to the base of the city wall in a swarm, and all the siege cars and ladders were used. The defenders on the city wall were like they expected, just using rolling stones, wood, hot water, hot oil, or spears to resist. Although the casualties were huge, they did not exceed their expectations. They all felt that this Damori City could still be taken!

However, whenever they were about to rush up to the city wall, a pile of black round bumps would suddenly drop on the city wall. After a burst of explosions, the ladders and the people on the siege cars would scream and roll on the ground, causing all their efforts to be wasted.
