Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God
Chapter 166: Battle of Nara Castle
In an open area five kilometers outside the city, a shocking scene quietly unfolded.
I saw about 300 cavalrymen dismounting and unloading two huge wooden boxes from another horse in an orderly manner. These cavalrymen, wearing steel helmets and green uniforms, had strong faces and showed an indomitable bravery.
Ten people worked in groups, and each group cooperated tacitly. They carefully opened the wooden boxes, took out delicate metal components one by one, and gently placed them on the ground to start assembling.
Before long, thirty 75mm Krupp cannons were neatly installed.
They are about ten meters apart, lined up in a row, like a row of giant steel dragons, majestic and solemn.
The muzzles of the cannons were all pointed at the gates of Nara Castle, waiting for the final order.
The defender in the city had never seen the Krupp cannon. He thought it was just an ordinary artillery like the Tiger cannon, and he couldn't help but look down on it.
He was just about to laugh at the other party for not understanding artillery, thinking that firing at such a long distance was a complete waste of gunpowder.
However, before he could laugh out loud, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the air.
Immediately afterwards, thirty small black dots streaked across the sky like meteors and landed on the city wall in the blink of an eye.
The sudden attack caught the defenders and the soldiers on the city walls off guard and terrified them.
Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky, and smoke filled the entire city. As the shells exploded, the stones on the city wall were blown away and the heat wave hit us.
The soldiers near the explosion point were instantly thrown into the air by the powerful impact force, while the soldiers a little further away were hit by shrapnel and stones. Wailing sounds came one after another, and the tragic scene was unbearable to watch.
This sudden bombardment plunged Nara Castle into chaos and panic. Soldiers fled in all directions, and the garrison commanders were panic-stricken and commanded the defense.
However, the power of Krupp's cannons far exceeded their imagination. Each shell brought huge destructive power, making the defense on the city wall precarious.
After three rounds of artillery fire, although the 75mm caliber infantry gun could not compare with the heavy artillery, its power should not be underestimated.
The city wall had become dilapidated. The Red Cannon and Tiger Cannon that were originally arranged neatly had been blown into pieces and were beyond recognition.
The gunpowder barrel used for firing also exploded in the previous artillery attack. The huge impact force generated by the explosion reduced everything around it to ruins.
The general who was defending the city just now miraculously survived the bombardment.
However, his heart was filled with endless fear and anxiety. The bloody and cruel scenes before his eyes seemed to bring him into a purgatory-like situation, making him terrified and horrified.
The sound of artillery fire had just stopped when gunfire rang out.
Without the deterrent force of the Red Cannon and the Tiger Cannon, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment rode their horses and charged forward quickly, arriving only a hundred meters away from the city wall.
They sat steadily on horseback, quickly took out their Mauser rifles, and aimed at the target accurately and shot.
At this moment, there were still some remaining defenders on the city wall holding their posts. They raised their muskets high and fired fiercely in the direction of the Tiandi Army.
Although it was difficult for the Fire Command to achieve accurate shooting within a distance of one hundred meters, the Mauser rifles held by the Heaven and Earth Alliance were able to accurately aim and hit the target.
Suddenly, the sound of gunfire was deafening. The Tokugawa army in Nara Castle suffered a serious blow, and many soldiers were killed and fell to the ground.
Faced with this situation, they finally realized that the "guns" in the hands of their opponents were extraordinary.
These "muskets" not only have extremely high accuracy and ultra-long range, but also fire more powerful projectiles instead of traditional iron balls.
Once hit, the bullet will leave a huge wound on the human body.
The Tokugawa army was frightened out of their wits by this sudden and unknown musket. They lay on the ground trembling in fear, not even daring to breathe, let alone stand up to resist.
At this moment, several agile soldiers from the Heaven and Earth Alliance came riding on fast horses at lightning speed. They rushed directly to the city gate like a whirlwind.
After arriving at the destination, the soldiers dismounted skillfully and quickly placed several sets of explosive packs.
Then they carefully lit the fuse, swiftly mounted their horses, and rode away.
There was a deafening "bang" and the city gate was instantly blown to pieces.
At the same time, the exciting and loud charge was sounded immediately, and the cavalry regiment, which had been ready for a long time, rushed into Nara Castle like an arrow from a bow with overwhelming force.
After entering the city, a part of the cavalry galloped along the city wall, throwing grenades in their hands at the city wall like raindrops as they galloped.
As the earth-shaking explosions sounded, the Tokugawa soldiers who were originally lying on the ground trying to escape the war were blown to pieces, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere. It was a horrible sight.
The other part of the cavalry rushed through the streets, and wherever they passed, they were like walking into an empty space. Once they encountered a Tokugawa soldier, they would either shoot him with a gun or chop him down with a sharp machete, showing no mercy.
And at this moment, a large number of samurai ronin dressed in traditional Japanese costumes suddenly appeared on the originally quiet street!
There were so many of them that they poured into the streets like a tide.
These people all wore a unique flag pattern on their chests - blue on top and green on the bottom, with a lifelike, golden dragon painted in the middle!
They were seen holding high up their hands the shining samurai swords, the blades flashing a chilling light, as if announcing their bravery and determination to the world.
Their appearance was not accidental, but they were summoned and assigned by the Heaven and Earth Federation Organization to assist the Heaven and Earth Allied Forces in eliminating the remaining enemies in the city.
These are disciples from martial arts schools from all over Japan, and they are all elites in their respective schools.
They are veterans of many battles and have great martial arts skills. This time, they are ordered by their sect leader to rise up in an unprecedented joint uprising, regardless of their martial arts sects or grudges. In order to fulfill the important task of maintaining peace and justice, they will assist the Heaven and Earth Alliance in eliminating hostile forces, and will also be responsible for maintaining local social order and appeasing the frightened people.
In the journey of Princess Ling Zhao's conquests, these brave and fearless warrior ronin played a vital role.
With their courage and wisdom, they made great contributions to Princess Lingzhao's victory and became the right-hand man of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
Their existence makes the Heaven and Earth Alliance even more powerful.
Under the leadership of these battle-hardened, fearless samurai and ronin, the Heaven and Earth Alliance was like a tiger among a flock of sheep, and quickly conquered one stronghold after another set up by the Tokugawa army in the city.
