Become a feudal king from today - #901 - Chapter 915: Clues

“Oda Yamazawa, Mori wins, you two bastards!”

The moment the war broke out, he was at a disadvantage, so Watanabe started to curse. read

He did not expect that in order to use the four northern vassals to deal with him, King Yan even sold artillery to them.

Beforehand, he only had the news that the other party had obtained the musket.

At this moment, in his sight, the eyes of the soldiers on the city wall were full of fear.

Facing the flying shells, they could only squat under the wall stacks to avoid them.

The artillerymen had no choice but to panic when facing the coalition artillery that was out of range.

The shelling came one after another, as if it would never stop.

Raindrops of cannonballs continued to hit the city wall.

They could even feel the tremors of the city walls when the shells hit.

The wall stacks were constantly shattered by artillery shells, and rocks fell and hit the soldiers below, causing screams.

“Hold on, you must hold on.” Watanabe said this to the soldiers, but also to himself.

Kuki Shi has already set off and is setting up an ambush.

As long as the most powerful cavalry general in Japan defeated the King of Yan’s army.

The situation on the battlefield will immediately reverse.

As he was thinking about it, a general suddenly shouted, “Their soldiers are approaching.”

Watanabe was startled, and immediately raised his head and looked under the city wall.

It turned out that thousands of coalition soldiers came towards White River City in a loose formation.

The soldiers were moving about, seemingly in the usual places on the battlefield that would be suitable for shelter.

He is no longer unfamiliar with this tactic.

It was the skirmishing tactics of King Yan’s army.

These walking parties were distributed everywhere outside the city, shooting at the soldiers who exposed their bodies on the city wall.

At the same time, the artillery had nothing to do with them.

After they are all in position, the opponent is likely to launch a charge under the cover of these skirmishers.

“Damn it, you four bastards are really lucky. King Yan’s army has everything handed to you, but in the end history will prove that King Yan is nothing in front of the Westerners…” Watanabe said through gritted teeth.

At this moment, a cannonball flew directly towards his position, interrupting his mumbling.

Watanabe was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and instinctively fell to the ground.

The shell hit the wall directly above him, causing it to collapse and crash down.

He turned over again, and the wall fell on his side.

“General, it’s too dangerous here. Please go down and leave this place to us.” Ogawa Tora said.

In this war, all the core members of their shogunate were dispatched.

Jiuguijing was responsible for attacking King Yan’s army, while he was responsible for guarding Baihe City with Watanabe Case.

Meanwhile, Konishi Masataka and Shimazu Nagaaki accompanied Yamada Haruno to defend against Hojo Kawakei and Ono Town.

Watanabe Case was going to push Ogawa Tiger away, but thinking that the most important thing was to wait for news about Kukii, he went down the wall.

“Bang bang bang…”

Just after he got off the city wall, gunfire rang out outside the city.

From time to time, soldiers who exposed their bodies to observe on the city wall were shot and killed.

But the siege he expected did not come.

The coalition forces continued to bombard Baihe City as if they were going to knock down the city wall.

From afternoon to evening, and from evening to early morning of the next day.

at this time.

After landing in Edo, 20,000 marines led by Pan Chang entered the valley northwest of Edo.

This valley is very long, with mountains on both sides, but the width varies.

Some places are as wide as twenty or thirty miles, and some places are only two or three miles wide.

“General, in front of you is Yaban. This section of the valley is very narrow, only three miles wide. After Yaban, fifty miles further is Baihe City.” The general in charge of the investigation returned and reported to Pan Chang.

Pan Chang nodded when he heard this.

This time in order to complete the siege of White River City as soon as possible.

He chose to travel lightly.

In addition to carrying Qin-style rifles and grenades, he only carried some dry food.

“Divide into six teams to pass. The three teams from the east are responsible for the mountains and forests to the east, and the three teams from the west are responsible for the mountains and forests to the west.” Pan Chang ordered.

As a general, the most basic quality is to be prepared for an ambush when passing through a place suitable for an ambush.

But this time, even if the opponent has an ambush, he still has to move forward.

Because he is confident that he can deal with any ambush.

Furthermore, they passed through the middle of the valley, more than a mile away from the mountains and forests on both sides.

That’s enough for them to cope.

What’s more, the Marines equipped with Qin-style rifles and grenades cannot even deal with the Japanese ambush soldiers holding old-fashioned muskets.

They might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

But for the sake of safety, he still ordered the team responsible for exploration in front of him to check the conditions of the mountains and forests on both sides.

The reconnaissance team received the order and headed towards Yaita Valley.

Their arrival immediately made Jiugui, who was hiding in the forest, nervous.

In order not to be discovered, they all hid on the back of the mountain, and the horses’ mouths were tied up.

A group of soldiers entered the forest, and the Japanese soldiers lay on the ground, not daring to move.

The Marines responsible for reconnaissance searched along the mountain forest.

A soldier suddenly guessed a soft thing.

Lifting his feet, he pulled his flag leader and signaled him.

“Horse dung.” The flag leader recognized it at a glance.

In the Marine Corps, they are responsible for investigation, and he even learned a lot of investigation skills in the military academy.

You can spot trouble from clues.

“Don’t act strange.” The flag commander told the soldiers.

Then he continued to observe and found that a lot of grass had been trampled and branches and leaves were broken where he passed.

There were horse hair hanging on some of the trees, obviously rubbed off.

After mastering this, they did not continue to the ridge, but immediately returned to the army and told Captain Pan the news.
