The offensive against Kurokawa Castle began again after lunch, and the heavy artillery burst out with its amazing power, tearing open the gap repaired by the Maple again like a shattering destruction!

The Huanglong Banner symbolizing the Jiuzhou Army Army Department was in front of it, and a group of soldiers rushed towards one of the gaps. The Jianghu Samurai on both sides pushed a cart to resist the muskets and bows and arrows shot from the stone wall, constantly approaching the stone wall, and then used the coercion gun in his hand to shoot at the enemy behind the wooden wall on the stone wall.

"Our Second Corps has not had a chance to go out for a long time. For the glory of our infantry brigade, we will seize the enemy's formation!" A lieutenant drew out the command knife like an embroidered spring sword and personally boosted morale among the stormtroopers.

The infantry holding the bayonet in his hand cleared the obstacles along the way and rushed in and out of the maru through the gap. The samurai hurriedly gathered from Honmaru toward the gap, hoping to drive the Kyushu soldiers who came in.

They were greeted by the well-trained Jiuzhou Army infantry with bayonets!

The sharp bayonet cut through a cold light, and pushed away the samurai sword to penetrate the body of a samurai!

The soldiers of the Kyushu Army who broke into and out of the Maru formed a bayonet formation and advanced forward!

"Divid out two teams and assault the city." The lieutenant saw clearly the terrain of the Iron Manuchi Street, quickly deployed his troops, and occupied the surrounding streets.

The battle in Izumanuchi formed a fierce hand-to-hand battle because the distance was too close. The soldiers of the Kyushu Army, who were holding bayonets, fought close-range with the samurai of the Muroku and the Ugo Kingdom. However, the soldiers of the Kyushu Army who rushed in from behind loaded bullets and waited for an opportunity to shoot.

The soldiers of the Jiuzhou Army tried to form a dense storm formation side by side, and it was unstoppable! Once the Jiuzhou Army soldiers met them and broke into their formation and fought, several people would back to their backs to fight against the samurai swords and spears that were stabbed from the opposite side.

A warrior was about to cut the bayonet that was rushing towards the opposite side, but he didn't know which angle he stretched out another bayonet, assassinated it, and pulled out the bayonet that was dyed into a blood-blade.

"The spearmen came forward to stop them!" The samurai leader saw that the samurai sword was inferior to the soldiers of the Kyushu Army similar to the spear formation, so he thought of the inch long and inch strong. Only the spearmen in the Cold Weapon Age could restrain the high morale bayonet formation.

The surroundings were full of samurai warriors. The samurai leader finally put together a spear square formation composed of hundreds of people, urging the spear square formation to use the narrow streets to organize the bayonet offensive.

Bang! When the warrior was approaching with his spear, he saw that the situation was not good and the soldiers of the Jiuzhou Army had reloaded the bullets in the back row. On average, each person carried more than 30 paper shell bullets. With the design of the rear gun loading, the filling became faster. The sound of muskets in the back row were everywhere, causing a group of people to fall from the phalanx of the spearmen on the opposite side!

"Ah!!" The spear with less psychological resistance was light and could not withstand such casualties and began to collapse.

The streets that were not big in Naomaru were soon stained with blood. The defenders who defended Naomaru began to collapse after sacrificing dozens of people. They retreated to Ninomaru and entered the second city wall.

Japan's defense system is also divided into internal and external cities. However, in many cases, it is not a square city structure, but relies on local mountain dangers and rivers to form an interlocking defense system. After breaking through the Maru, there is a second, third stone wall and city wall. The core convenience is the Tianshou Pavilion surrounded by moats or set up on the mountain. The five-story Tianshou Pavilion in Kurokawa City can see the approaching enemies.

However, no matter how carefully designed the defense system was targeted at that time, the siege tactics lacked artillery. After the arrival of heavy artillery, the defense line of Kurokawa Castle was gradually broken through!

On the first day, after more than half a day of artillery bombardment and hand-to-hand charge, the new government army conquered the outermost part of Kurokawa Castle.

The next day, the new government army continued to concentrate artillery to bombard Ninomaru in Kurokawa Castle. Ninomaru was declared to be in trouble on the same day. After leaving hundreds of corpses in a hurry, the Samurai Group could only continue to retreat to the Tensouge Pavilion in the core of the city.

On the third day, the new government troops arrived at the area of ​​the Tianshou Pavilion in Kurokawa Castle, and artillery could cause effective artillery bombardment on the Tianshou Pavilion.

However, the cannon hit the Tianshou Pavilion without much benefit. The real target is the city walls made of stones and the defenders inside.

In order to avoid the situation of being isolated and helpless, in addition to Masayuki, Kato Akizuna and others led some elite troops to defend the Tianshou Pavilion, and also built two formations in the Caini and the Caini Samurai Group to form a horn with the Kurokawa Castle, to alleviate the pressure on the Tianshou Pavilion by the new government army.

Facing the opponent's defensive posture, Zhang Yuan planned to break through the two formations outside the Tianshou Pavilion first, and then turn back to conquer the Tianshou Pavilion.

The two sides began a fierce battle for several days in the terrain of the river valley where Kurokawa Castle was located, during which thousands of warriors were seriously injured or died.

The most serious casualties in the new government army were not the infantry who came from the mainland, but the surrendered Red Turban samurai and the Shogunate Edo samurai.

The outbreak of this war caused a large number of warriors to join the war, and the heavy casualties of the warriors were weakening the influence of their class in disguise.

Nelson and Tadaoyi of Yamanuchi were suppressing the local peasant uprising. Although the number of peasant troops uprising on Shikoku Island reached an astonishing 100,000, many peasant troops brought their families with their families, but the number of real strong men was not large. Nelson and Tadaoyi of Yamanuchi faced much more relaxed than Zhang Yuan and Shimazu Kokuhara leading the new government troops to attack the Northeast Samurai Group.

The peasant uprising on Shikoku Island broke out because the Daming of Shikoku Island gathered heavy troops to fight the shogunate in Osaka Castle, transporting the food stored on Shikoku Island to Osaka Castle, which suddenly suffered natural disasters had no food reserves, and as a group of people starved to death. The farmers without food had to rise up.

Tadaoyi of Yamanuchi, who served as the general of Shikoku Island, quickly summoned the retainers of Yamanuchi's family and the Daemin of Shikoku Island, and gathered 10,000 samurai on Shikoku Island who were willing to be managed by the new government. With the help of the Zhili fleet and the troop transport ship led by Nelson, the samurai of Shikoku Island led by Tadaoyi of Yamanuchi came down from the sky like a magic weapon, winning five consecutive battles, defeating several peasant troops, and driving the remaining refugees to the narrow Tokushima Plain on both sides of the Yoshino River.

"I didn't expect that my Yamauchi family could also order the Shikoku area." Tadakayuki Yamauchi was full of energy. He rode a war horse and was still wearing armor. Because of the orders of the Kyushu Army, Shikokuda Daimu had to obey his orders, the general of Shikokuda.

Behind him were two hundred cavalrymen and thousands of light feet, and opposite them were tens of thousands of peasant soldiers surrounded and at a loss, to be precise, refugees who rose up.

"Prevent the enemy in front of you and establish a new order!" Tadonico Yamauchi waved his military fan forward, and two hundred cavalrymen passed by him, whistling and waving the spear in his hand.
