"Kill!" Tada Takazo led a samurai suicide squad to attack Nagoya with artillery and muskets. From time to time, grenades exploded around them, and bullets fired from behind-loading rifles splashed on the ground, causing their morale to charge.

There is a large gap in Nagoya Castle, which was bombarded by Mizuno Katsunaga. When the Nagoya Castle was built, the Tokugawa Shogunate could not imagine the current fierce firepower and could not withstand the bombardment of dense artillery. Soon, the gap appeared under the concentrated artillery bombardment of the artillery.

"The machine gunners are in place and block the gap! Your team assists the machine gunners in keeping the gap!" Nelson commanded at a high place.

A team of naval squads built temporary fortifications near the gap, and the rear-mounted muskets they used could hide behind the fortifications to shoot.

In addition to the Navy squad holding a rear musket, two Gatling machine guns formed cross-fire at the gap in Nagoya.

The machine gunner nervously looked at the dust filled the gap, and soon a shogunate warrior rushed in through the gap.

After a while, a warrior led by Tada Tadazo appeared. They held flintlock rifles in their hands and started shooting after entering the gap.

"Machine Gunner!" The officer who was deploying defense in the gap saw the warrior wearing armor coming in and ordered the machine gunner.

Da da da da da! The machine gunner began to turn the handle quickly, and the Gatling machine gun fired a metal bullet, blocking the gap with death!

The musketeers who were armed with the notch formed a half-moon line of defense, shooting at the warriors who were pouring into the notch at the same time as the machine gunner.

Gunshots were everywhere. The warriors who thought they could break through the city wall were killed and injured in the gunfire. From time to time, warriors were shot and killed!

Originally, Tada Takazo Ida, who had been brave enough to participate in the suicide squad, but when he encountered a metal machine gun, he was suppressed and could not raise his head. He could only hide behind the stone wall in the gap and dared not rush into the gap.

"Sir, the enemy seems to have concentrated a large number of muskets to block the gap, so we cannot break in!" The samurai who acted with Tada Tadaruto was also close to the stone wall, not daring to continue to charge for the death.

Even suicide squads must be valuable and sacrificed, rather than sending death meaninglessly. The metal bullet storm calmed their minds. They realized that if they continued to charge inside, they would just send death for nothing.

"It's not a large number of muskets, but a secret weapon called machine gun! When I was attacking Mount Kazuya, I had already seen the power of this secret weapon. I didn't expect that they also had similar firearms in Nagoya. Could it be that the Kyushu Army had advanced to this point, and all the troops were equipped with such secret firearms." When Ida Tadazong and Lu Xiangsheng fought, he tasted the taste of a hand-cranked machine gun, and was afraid of the power of the machine gun.

"Their secret firearms have controlled the gap. We cannot break through the gap. Let's retreat for the time being..."

Tada Takazo and the samurai of the suicide squad were frightened by machine guns and gave up the tactic of breaking into Nagoya from the gap.

Katsunari Mizuno did not blame Ida Tada and others who retreated. He knew that under the unknown machine gun blockade, it would be difficult for Ida Tada and others to break through the gap.

"I didn't expect that Nagoya also deployed this kind of secret firearm. How many such powerful machine guns do they have?" Katsunaga Mizuno pondered.

"What should we do if they have such a defensive weapon?" After Tada Takazo Ida found that the charge of his life became meaningless, he rarely felt real despair.

"Continue to shell Nagoya and bombard as many gaps as possible. At night, we can break into Nagoya successfully." Katsunari Mizuno said after being silent for a while.

The battle in Nagoya continued, and Katsunari Mizuno tried his best to find ways to capture Nagoya as soon as possible. However, Nelson was also a famous general. With a small number of people, he had more advanced firearms and well-trained soldiers who could not stand it.

As time passed, the shogunate army's food became less and less, and even ordinary soldiers felt something was wrong.

"Why are we put so little food today? The food we carried was already eaten up. The food we sent was only half of the food we usually gave, so where can we fight physically?" Not only did the farmers who were forced to recruit less food, but even the food food for warriors was only half as usual.

"Didn't you find that the food transport team in the rear has not arrived these days? Is there something wrong with our rear?"

"In my experience, it is very likely that the food outlet in the rear was cut off and the latter's granary was captured, and it is very likely that there will be no food in a few days."

In Tokugawa Iemitsu's army, samurai and peasant militia were whispering.

Tokugawa Iemitsu stood on the ruins of Tennoji Temple and looked at the camps of the opposite storm coalition and the Kyushu reinforcements. It was estimated that the other party's food must be sufficient after it was replenished.

"A peasant uprising broke out on Shikoku Island, and we have insufficient food. Fortunately, you transported the food from Kyushu Island and the mainland, otherwise we will be in a situation where the army and food are broken."

"In the later period when we were besieged by the shogunate, even our daimyos could only live by eating dried radishes."

"Osaka Castle is not strong enough in the face of the shogunate artillery. Fortunately, it was winter that could barely block the shogunate attack. If it was midsummer, it would probably be that your reinforcements had not arrived yet, Osaka Castle had been defeated."

Yamauchi Tadaoyi, Tachibana Soshima and other Western countries Daming and Lu Xiangsheng and other Kyushu Army officers sat on the ground, talking about their miserable situation when Osaka Castle was besieged.

"It's time for the civil war that has lasted for several years to come to an end. With the emergence of more and more powerful firearms, the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, and the number of casualties in each war is also increasing. If this continues, the poorer the fight is getting worse and worse, and there are peasant troops everywhere. How can it last?" said Tadaoyoshi Yamauchi.

He is the daimyo of Shikoku Island. The peasant uprising broke out on Shikoku Island, leaving only a few strongholds in his rear. He had no way to abandon the Osaka defense line and return to Shikoku Island to quell the rebellion.

"Will we samurai really be abolished by the establishment of the new province? Ordinary samurai may have a rebellion when they hear this news." Some Nishiko Daima understood that it would be a matter of time before the shogunate surrender, so he considered the issue of rule after the civil war.

According to the secret agreement between the Kyushu Army and the Shogun coalition, after the establishment of the Japanese province, it will rule completely according to the model of the Chinese mainland, and all "deformed" products such as the Shogunate and the Samurai Group will be abolished.

"Rebellion, just suppress it at that time. Although your Western Daming loses its privileges, we will compensate you for some invisible privileges and benefits. At the cost, you should help us appease the people of all over the world and suppress the rebellious warriors, and let them accept the fact that the Japanese province was established." Lu Xiangsheng said.
