Without moral integrity, you can't ask questions. Yi Yun waved to Chiyo Tachihara: "Go, go and help General Li Chengyu and take down Iwaya Castle in Takahashi Shaoyun."

"As for your order!" Tachiha Chiyo got up excitedly and stood behind Li Chengyu.

The army soon began to set off for war, and the soldiers lined up to leave the city, and Otomo Sorin and the newly surrendered samurai all followed Li Chengyu's army from afar.

They all felt very strange when they saw Yi Yun not going to supervise the battle in person. You should know that this time Yi Yun dispatched two thousand people, and these two thousand people were his own direct troops, so they did not ask Shangganfu Kensuke and Ito Yoshiyu as cannon fodder.

In Fuso, it is a very big event to use two thousand direct troops at one time. For example, the Shimazu family and the Otomo family had fought several national mobilization wars. How many people did the Shimazu family send? Knead... three thousand people! It is the power of the whole country, and the power of the whole country, three thousand people! Let’s take another example. Oda Nobunaga’s surprise attack on Imakawa Yoshimoto in the Tube Gorge, and also brought all the forces of the Oda family. How many are there? Four thousand people! Well, many of these four thousand people are cannon fodder, and the real Nobunaga’s own direct troops have only 1,500 people.

If you compare this, Yi Yun sent two thousand direct troops at one time, which was really a shocking event in the country. His supervisor didn't go there himself. He sent a female general Li Chengyu to lead the troops, and then sent a female general Tachiha to help Chiyo... This is simply too nonsense.

Otomo Sorin said that Yari was very big. Is it really okay to surrender to such a person? This guy looks like a playboy. Not only did he send women out to fight, but he also set off hundreds of cannons without using them. He only pushed out fifty land war artillery, and he was completely blindly commanding.

A group of newly descended warriors were also very nervous!

Only Tachibana Yuki was a little calmer. He leaned over to his daughter and whispered: "Tsai Chiyo, you have been in Oda Shinosaki's house for a long time? Is this person reliable?"

"I don't know..." Tachiha told Chiyo that she had been under house arrest for being under house arrest, so she could tell how much strength Yi Yun had. She just spread her hands and said, "Although he looks like a playboy, he will let his women take over the power, that's all. I'll decide him."

Lenagadao Xue: "…"

He was silent for a while, and then said seriously: "I tell you, Mr. Zong Lin and these warriors following behind, are not in good faith. If they see you lead this army to be defeated, they will immediately turn against you, and maybe they will come to kill you from behind. At that time, I will be loyal to the Lord and fight with Mr. Zong Lin and will not come to help you."

Tachikan Chiyo nodded and said, "I understand, but I have already made an oath to the new lord that I must do what a samurai should do."

"Okay, then I won't care about you." Tatsuya Daoxue had no choice.

The army was moving forward, and the heavy sand chariot pulled cannons. It dragged long ruts on the desert. A few days later, Iwaya Castle was already in sight.

Li Chengyu stood outside the city and looked carefully. It was indeed an inconquered city. It was built on a small hill. The hill was a little steep, and the hillside reached an inclination of 45 degrees. It was difficult for soldiers to charge up at such an inclination. The castle built on the top of the mountain was very majestic, with at least three floors of the city wall, one after another. Outside the outermost circle of the city wall, several trenches were dug, and there were also a squeezing horse made of bamboo fences and some wood.

These fortifications make people feel numb at first sight. It is really difficult to attack them with cold weapons. However, Fusang in this era already had cannons, and these fortifications may not be as solid as a rock in front of cannons. So... Takahashi Shaoyun placed sixty cannons on the walls of Iwaya Castle, which were all given to him by Otomo Sorin.

As one of the double walls of Otomo's family, it is normal for him to hold one-third of the cannons in his hand.

These cannons are very high and their muzzles are scattered. If the enemy wants to use cannons to attack the city, they must face the attack of these cannons. You should know that the cannons of this era are not those who can shoot giant cannons dozens of kilometers away in later generations. The cannons of later generations are not very affected by the terrain. There is no big difference between shooting high places and low places in low places. However, the cannons of this era always have to have the advantage in the cannons that occupy high places and low places.

Under the dual protection of the outer fortifications and the cannons on the wall, Iwaya Castle can be said to be a difficult city to attack.

Tachiha Chiyo couldn't help but want to ask Li Chengyu how he could break through the city, but the two of them couldn't understand the language and several translators didn't come with her, so she had to stare at her.

"Put the military formation!" Li Chengyu ordered: "Put the defensive formation..."

Two thousand soldiers began to set up their formations and soon formed a square formation like an iron barrel.

Otomo Sorin and others who were following behind were a little unhappy. Are you sieging the city and actually placing a defensive formation? Are you looking down on the enemy or yourself? What kind of siege method should be used for the defensive formation?

It is true that women can't command the army!

A samurai asked quietly to the samurai beside him: "How many troops does Takahashi have in Iwaya Castle?"

"Seven hundred and sixty-three people!" Another warrior replied, worthy of being the same family, and his troops to Takahashi Shaoyun were accurate to single digits.

"This is quite a lot." A warrior whispered: "Relying on such a strong city, it should be no problem to defend the attack of two thousand people."

"Yes... plus this leader is a woman... I think Lord Takahashi can win this battle."

"Mr. Zong Lin, this Oda Shirasuo has so many cannons and giant ships, but seeing how they fight is just laymen... Do we really want to surrender to such people?"

"Yes, let's not surrender anymore, let's fight too... If Lord Takahashi Shaoyun can gain a little advantage in a while, we will immediately attack Oda's Nori Army from behind, and cooperate with Lord Takahashi and defeat the Nori Army."

After hearing the suggestions from his subordinates, Otomo Sorin was also a little moved. Indeed, Oda Shirou Jun does not look strong. But as a daimyo, he will not be easily blinded by the false appearances seen by his eyes. He whispered: "Don't act rashly... look first! We must confirm that Takahashi Shaoyun can win before we take action... You... Well... be prepared for the battle first, but without my order, no one is allowed to draw his sword."

"Hi!" the samurai responded in unison, their right hands unconsciously moved to the samurai sword at their waists, holding the hilt of the knife, ready to go.

At this time, Li Chengyu's army had already set up a defensive formation, and the entire army formed a large, circular and square formation with fifty army cannons. It turned out that Li Chengyu had set up a defensive formation just to protect the artillery team.

Land warfare is somewhat different from naval warfare. During naval warfare, soldiers from both sides are on the ship and fight through the sea. Soldiers cannot easily board the enemy ship, so the profession of melee cannot threaten the lives of artillery soldiers, and artillery soldiers can fire boldly. But during land warfare, the situation is completely different.

In the age of cold weapons, the range of cannons was not too far. Even cannons bombarded the enemy within the visual range, so... the army's artillery positions were easily attacked by enemy cavalry or high-mobile infantry. Once they were approached, the artillery was a lamb at slaughter.

Let’s take the Napoleon era or the American Civil War era. At that time, the artillery positions were often penetrated by the enemy with cavalry and killed them completely. Even during World War II, there were examples of artillery positions in the rear being killed by the enemy’s special operations team.

Before Li Chengyu came out of the battle, he received Yi Yun's instructions to protect the army artillery positions, so she simply set up a defensive formation and surrounded the artillery tightly with two thousand people.

No one could understand what she was doing, but he knew that the formation she had set was too far from the city, and it was far beyond the range of the big tube. What's the use of placing it like this?

Li Chengyu raised his hand high: "Architecture, prepare!"

"Prepare!"

"Reload ammunition!"

"Prepare!"

"Aim at the enemy city!"

The artillerymen started shouting loudly.

When Otomo Sorin saw their actions, he couldn't help but wonder: "It's four miles away from the city... I'm aiming so far, can I hit it?" In the Warring States Period of Fusang, no one was more familiar with Datong than Otomo. He was the first Daming name in Fusang to use Datong and the best use of Datong. He knew very clearly that the range of Datong was only about two to three miles, and it was not very accurate at this distance, and he often hit the ball.

But now, Oda Shirae Army has set up a cannon formation four miles away. Is this useless? Do you need to use a large tube to hit the moon?

Otomo Sorin confirmed again that Li Chengyu was a waste and didn't know how to command. He whispered to the warriors around him: "It seems that the enemy's chief general is really a fool. Everyone prepare their swords... We may really turn against each other."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cannons roared... Fifty cannons spit out angry flames!

Otomo Sorin sneered and waited for the shells to fall into the open space outside the city... However... things were beyond everyone's expectations. The shells flew straight into Iwaya Castle four miles away and smashed hard on the white castle.

Bump and bump!

In the city of Iwawu, which was originally quiet and ready to go, there was a sound of exclamation and shouting. Several pits were blasted out of the city walls, and two or three houses in the city collapsed. I don’t know how many soldiers were injured. In short, all kinds of strange screams were boiling in the city.

"Oh my God!"

"Why did the shells fly over?"

"It's too far!"

"Where is our big tube?"

"Hurry back..."

"No, it hasn't entered the range yet. Now the fight back is just a waste of precious shells and gunpowder..."
