Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 897

[Chapter 897 Clues]

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

The moment the war broke out, he was at a disadvantage, and Watanabe cursed.

He didn’t expect that King Yan even sold the artillery to them in order to use the four northern feudal clans to deal with him.

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 shells flying past, they could only squat under the wall to avoid.

The artillerymen had no choice but to worry about the coalition artillery that was out of range.

The shelling was round after round, as if it would never stop.

Raindrops of shells kept hitting the city wall.

They could even feel the tremor of the walls when the shells struck.

The wall stacks were continuously smashed by shells, and rocks fell and hit the soldiers below, causing miserable screams.

“Hold on, you must hold on.” The Watanabe case was said to the soldiers, and it seemed to be said to himself.

Nine Ghosts has already set off and is setting an ambush.

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

The situation on the battlefield will immediately reverse.

Just as he was thinking, a general suddenly shouted, “Their soldiers are approaching.”

Watanabe was startled, and immediately exposed his head, looking down the city wall.

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

These soldiers stopped and went, as if they were in an ordinary place suitable for shelter on the battlefield.

He is no stranger to this tactic.

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

These promenades would then be distributed everywhere outside the city, shooting soldiers whose bodies were exposed on the walls.

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

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

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

At this moment, a shell flew straight towards his position, interrupting his muttering.

The Watanabe case broke out in a cold sweat, and instinctively fell to the ground.

The cannonball hit the wall stack directly above him, and the wall stack collapsed and fell down.

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

“General, this place is too dangerous, please go down, leave this place to us.” Xiao Chuanhu said.

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

Jiu Guijing was in charge of attacking Yan Wang’s army, while he was in charge of defending Baihe City with the Watanabe case.

At the same time, Konishi Masataka and Shimadzu Nagamei followed Yamada Haruno to resist Hojo Chuankei and Onozhen.

The Watanabe case was supposed to push Xiao Chuanhu away, but thinking that the most important thing was to wait for the news of Jiuguijing, he went down the city wall.

“Bang bang bang…”

Just after he got off the city wall, gunshots sounded outside the city.

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

But the siege he expected never came.

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

From afternoon to evening, and from evening to the next morning.

at this time.

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

This valley is very long, with mountains on both sides, but it varies in width and narrowness.

Some places are as wide as twenty or thirty miles, while others are only two or three miles wide.

“General, there is Yaban ahead. This section of the valley is very narrow, only three miles wide. After passing Yaban, Baihe City is fifty miles away.” The general in charge of the investigation returned and reported to Chief Pan.

Pan Chang nodded upon hearing this.

This time in order to complete the encirclement of Baihe City as soon as possible.

He chose to travel light.

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

“Divide into six teams to pass, the three teams in the east are responsible for the mountains in the east, and the three teams in the west are in charge of the mountains in the west.” Pan Zhang ordered.

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

But this time, even if the opponent had an ambush, he still wanted to move on.

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.

This is enough for them to cope.

What’s more, if the marines equipped with Qin-style rifles and grenades can’t even deal with the Japanese ambush with old-fashioned muskets.

They might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

But just to be on the safe side, he asked the team in charge of the investigation to touch the forest on both sides.

The reconnaissance team was ordered to go to Yaita Valley.

Their arrival immediately made Jiuguijing, who was lying in ambush in the forest, nervous.

In order not to be discovered, they all hid behind the mountain, and the horse’s mouth was tied up.

A group of soldiers entered the forest, and the Dongying soldiers were lying on the ground, not daring to move.

The Marine Corps soldiers in charge of reconnaissance searched along the mountain forest.

A soldier suddenly guessed a soft mass.

Lifting his feet, he tugged on his flag leader and motioned him.

“Horse dung.” Banner recognized it at a glance.

In the Marine Corps, they are responsible for reconnaissance, and he has learned a lot of reconnaissance skills in the military school.

Can find tricks from clues.

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

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

Some of the trees still had horse hair hanging from them, apparently rubbed off.

Having mastered this, they did not continue to go to the ridge, but immediately returned to the army and told Pan Zhang the news.
