: Waiting for the rabbit

The leader of the Little Tigers artillery battalion, Meng Liang, led his subordinates and Maori to seek assassination, and began to search for useful artillery at the Osaka Fort.

At that time, the power of artillery was limited and it was impossible to destroy all the Red Cannons on the Osaka Fort.

Most of them were overturned, some of the gun barrels were blown away, but some of the overturned guns were intact.

After searching, I finally found twenty-one useful red cannons.

The solid bomb was blown away everywhere, so you can pick it up and continue to use it.

But the gunpowder exploded in the fire and disappeared.

Meng Liang checked it carefully again and then reported to Zhu Cilang:

"Boss, I found twenty-one red cannons that I could use, and I had almost thousands of solid bullets, but there was no gunpowder."

Zhu Cilang was overjoyed when he heard this. The Osaka Fort was a major defensive area in Osaka and could bombard Osaka Castle from a high place.

Zhu Cixuan and the others did not carry heavy artillery. Now the Japanese Red Barbarian cannons can be used best, so they can use their own artillery to attack the Japanese.

Zhu Cilang looked at Huang Ming:

"General Huang, send someone to find Governor Zheng of the Navy to ask for gunpowder."

"yes"

Huang Ming received the order and immediately sent a team of 100 people to find Zheng Chenggong for gunpowder.

The Ming army now hardly uses gunpowder, and no longer needs gunpowder, whether it is rifled gunpowder or mortar.

However, the Navy cannot do without gunpowder for the time being, and many naval warships still use gunpowder on naval guns.

The gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty was much better than that of Japanese gunpowder and Western gunpowder.

They are still using black gunpowder, while the Ming Dynasty used smokeless gunpowder, that is, yellow gunpowder.

Huang Ming sent people to get gunpowder, while the Ming army began to carry cannons under the command of Meng Liang.

Twenty-one red cannons were all installed and adjusted in place within two incense sticks, and almost all the shells were picked up, just waiting for the arrival of gunpowder.

Osaka Castle

The sound of fighting at the Osaka Fort reached the city, causing panic among the Japanese.

Tadaki Sakai was shocked when he received the news that the main force of the Ming army bombarded the Osaka cannon.

His initial judgment was that the Osaka Fort was harassed by a small group of Ming troops, with the purpose of surrounding the site and attacking the aid.

As long as reinforcements are sent in the city, the Ming troops outside the city will be eaten one by one.

So, Tadaki Sakai didn't care much about the news at first.

However, his intelligence personnel heard the news that the Ming army had snatched the beach and landed.

The first reaction of the Japanese generals must be fake news!

There is no place to land in the Osaka Fort, not only shallow water but also cliffs.

Unless the Ming army swims ashore and climbs the cliffs, what use is their firearms in this way? They will turn into fire sticks.

A Japanese general said:

"If the Ming army had the superpower to swim a mile of water in the sea and then land on the Osaka Fort, we would admit defeat directly, and there would be no need to fight this battle!"

Another Japanese officer also said:

"Yes, the Ming army relies on advanced firearms in wars. Once the firearms enter water, they can only be slaughtered by us."

Their words caused a burst of laughter from Japanese generals. Not to mention that the Osaka Fort is an extremely strong fortress, the ones stationed at the fort are one of the most elite troops of the Shogunate!

The only thing that didn't laugh was Tadaki Sakai.

He suddenly realized that since the war between the Ming Dynasty and Japan, the Ming army had almost everything and had never been defeated. Could it be...

As a wise figure in the shogunate, Tadaki Sakai immediately saw the problem, and there might be something wrong with the Osaka Fort.

A thought suddenly flashed through Sakai Tadakiku's mind, and then a cold sweat broke out all over his body.

It was true that the Ming army attacked the Osaka Fort! They were playing the trick of beating the east and attacking the west! Not only were they beating the east and attacking the west, but they might also be surrounding the points to attack the support!

How could the more than 100,000 troops in Osaka be able to watch the destruction of the Osaka Fortress be destroyed and sit still?

If that were the case, the tomb dug for the fort guards would only be left to the defenders in Osaka Castle!

Qi Jiguang also received news from the sea that at night, Japanese reinforcements were prepared to reinforce the fort at the fort.

Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong were immediately overjoyed. They both realized that this was a good opportunity to ambush the Japanese army in Osaka Castle.

The two immediately discussed how to ambush the Japanese army in Osaka Castle.

At this moment, soldiers reported:

"Report to the Governor, His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to come."

Qi Jiguang Zheng Chenggong immediately said:

"Let them in."

After a moment, the hundreds of families of Qi's army walked into the Hongwu command room and immediately gave a standard military salute:

"I have seen two governors, and come to adjust gunpowder at the order of His Highness the Crown Prince..."

Baihu introduced the situation of the fort to the two governors.

Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong were overjoyed when he heard this, and he secretly gave Zhu Cilang a thumbs up.

"Come here, give the Little Tigers gunpowder as much as you want!"

"yes"

When under his command, Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong also discussed a plan to ambush the Japanese army in Osaka Castle.

Zhu Cilang led the Little Tiger Team and Huang Ming's two thousand Qi family troops to ambush and kill the Japanese army on the Osaka Fort.

Once the Japanese army was defeated and retreated, the Ming army set up an ambush on the road they must pass and blocked the Japanese army's retreat route and caught turtles in a jar.

The rivers in Osaka are crisscrossed, and the water area accounts for more than one-tenth of Osaka's area, and are known as the "water capital".

Among them, Yodogawa, which flows through the northern part of Osaka Castle, has the largest amount of water. With the convenience of water transportation, many markets have gathered along the Yodogawa, which is the main artery that supports Osaka's economy.

The Yodori River flows southwest and flows into Osaka Bay, while the Ming army's large groups are stationed in the south of Osaka Castle.

The Japanese boats could completely arrive at the Osaka Fort along the Yodogawa, forming a continuous stream of reinforcements.

This is also why Zhu Youjian tried his best to capture the Osaka Fort. If he took this place, he could allow the Ming naval warships to head north along the Hebei River and bombard Osaka Castle, greatly reducing the losses of the Ming army's siege.

The Japanese army sent hundreds of small boats loaded with thousands of soldiers to reinforce and soon landed under the fort.

On the west side of the North Fort, Zhu Cilang leaned against an unknown old tree, raised his rifled rifle and aimed at shooting.

A Japanese officer had just revealed his head and a blood mist appeared on his head and his head was blown out.

The Japanese had no idea that the fort had been occupied by the Ming army and they were so angry that they cursed:

"Baga, don't shoot yourself..."

All four little tigers gave Zhu Cilang a thumbs up:

"Your Highness, your marksmanship is getting more and more amazing!"

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly:

"Don't flatter, magic guns, rifled guns are ready to shoot, artillery bombard the Japanese rear squad."

"yes"

The artillery that Zhu Cixuan mentioned was Meng Liang's five hundred artillery soldiers.

After a few curses, the Japanese reinforcements immediately began to go up the mountain quickly when they saw that there was no movement above.

They were completely unaware that there were Ming troops on the fort and they were not prepared at all.

"Bang bang bang..."

"KaKaKa..."

"Boom..."

Suddenly, gunshots, magic guns, and Maokang magic bullets attacked the Japanese soldiers.

Five thousand Japanese soldiers are so big, it is harder to hit or hit.

The magic gun and rifled rifle were so desperate that they could hit Japan like raindrops, and more than a thousand Japanese were killed or killed in an instant.

Two hundred mortar shells allowed hundreds of Japanese to fly into the sky.

Suddenly being bombarded, the Japanese general was stunned and hurriedly shouted:

"Baga, what's going on? Don't shoot, they're all your own people..."

"Sir, we're fooled. It seems that all the Ming army on the fort are there. We don't have such powerful firearms..."
