Just the next day, Chengjin led the Ninth Army, and was carried out by the Beiyang Marine Division's second -sale fleet. Starting from Xiaguan, it was entered by Laihu in Haiyang Fan to the east and drove to Osaka.
After five days of sailing, the fleet arrived at Osaka Sea on July 10th.
幕府军退守大阪之后,也一直都在提防中华军进攻大阪,但防备的主要方向都是在陆地上,对西边的长州藩方向,而对南部海岸的防御十分松檞,因为在这个时候, Yueben still does not have too strong awareness of coastal defense. In fact, it is much more convenient to walk the sea road like Japan. Therefore, the Chinese Army basically does not have much effort. Login is successful.
Osaka was the base of Toyotomi, and one of the three major cities in Japan. The location of the city and the design of the defense line were all formulated by Kato Kiyoshi. There are Dawa, there are cats in the east, and there are East Hengtaichuan in the west. Only the north is open space. Although the walls of Osaka City are not as tall of Kumamoto City, there are three pills (Sandao City Wall). In the kilometer, each pill has its own moat. It is the building in the Pavilion in Benmaru. There are a total of nine -heavy and five -story buildings. The highest ones reached 56 meters. It's a golden soup.
Therefore, after the Kuanhara war, Tokugawa Ieyasu launched another two times to attack Osaka. Each time he dispatched more than 200,000 troops, he tried his best to break the Osaka Castle, and he was in Toyotomi. After the demise, Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the demolition of the city walls of Osaka Castle. Although the Osaka Castle was later rebuilt, Osaka's defense power has declined a lot. There is no reconstruction, but just rebuild the rooftop, so it is no longer possible to say the same as Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
And after the death of Toyotomi, the Shikawa Shogunate once established Osaka Fan, which was served as the lord of Matsuo Matsuya, but replaced by the Shikawa Shogunate in 1619. The Osaka Fan was abolished and has been directly controlled by the Kawagawa Shogunate. Then, then
Knowing that the Chinese Army was successfully landed in the south of Osaka, Osaka Shoukai was also surprised. While hurriedly ordered someone to go to the beyond house to go to Sakai to ask for help.
Although the urban defense facilities in Osaka City have been weakened a lot, the scale of the city has been further expanded. Now it is still one of the largest cities in Japan. The residents in the city have more than 200,000 people. There are many, and the general city guards must not only defend in the city. They must also be divided into other strongholds outside the city to cooperate with the city walls. Therefore, in the previous two battles of Osaka, the party of Toyotomi has ten. Tens of thousands of troops can refuse to defend Osaka Matsuyama, Fujii Temple, Eight -tailed, Rujiang, Okayama and other strongholds outside Osaka Castle, so that they can resist the army of Takagawa Ieyasu and stick to Osaka Castle.
Now that Sakai Kiyoshi has only more than 30,000 soldiers, it is impossible to keep the stronghold outside the city at all. You can only withdraw all the troops to the city of Osaka to defend. Insufficient troops are also an important reason. Therefore, after the Chinese army went ashore, it also occupied the position outside Osaka City very easily.
Then the Chinese army launched an attack on Osaka City.
Although the city walls in Osaka are not as high as Kumamoto City, they still reach the height of seven or eight meters. They are also mixed with gray bricks and stones. Now there are only one city wall, and there is also a Fangcheng River outside the city.
However, this time the battle to attack Osaka did not intend to use the tactics to deal with Kumamoto City. After all, the tactics that directly destroyed the city could not be used more. It only used once to play a deterrent effect, but it was more useful to excite it. The Japanese anti -confusion emotions made some big names who were originally swinging out of anger and switched to the Tokugawa Shogunate.
At the same time, after the Chinese Army also intends to attack Osaka, based on Osaka as the basis and fought a decisive battle with the Shogunate Army. In addition, Osaka was also an important port in Japan. Before the Sino -Japanese Guanyu broke, it was the largest trade volume of Osaka. It is also not good for China to destroy Osaka City. Therefore, this time, the goal of the Chinese Army is to capture Osaka Castle.
Of course, Chengjin is also full of confidence in capturing Osaka City. After all, cities like this. In the history of the Chinese army, less than dozen stones have been captured. In this regard, the Chinese Army has quite rich experience.
Because Osaka City is surrounded by water on three sides, only Nancheng is flat, so the direction of the Chinese army's main attack is Nancheng.
First of all, the Chinese Army still lined up the artillery in the city and launched a bombardment of the city walls. Although half of the cannonballs used were real bombs, it was shrouded in the south of Osaka Castle by the south of Osaka Castle. The walls of the city are made of gray brick bluestone, but they are still beaten uneven, and the stone dandruffs are splashing.
After this round of shelling, there was not much loss of the defendant, but the momentum was very scary, and the shogunate troops in the city were shocked, and the morale decreased significantly. Fortunately It didn't look like the shell crashed.
Later, he ordered an infantry regiment to set up a three -stage shooting formation in the position of 150 steps away from Osaka City, firing and shooting on Osaka Castle, and also launched twenty mighty vehicles, and Also send engineers to fill the moat.
Although the momentum this time is not as good as the shelling, the actual power is much greater than the shelling, because the accuracy of the gunfire is much higher than the artillery. In the rushing, each fight can only be installed with ten Chinese soldiers, but the fighting of each car can be raised at a height of nearly ten meters, which can exceed Osaka's walls. The Chinese soldiers stand on the hanging. In Dou, you can shoot at the shogunate soldiers in Osaka City randomly.
At the beginning, the Shogunate also used iron cannons, bow and arrows and the Chinese army to shoot, but at a distance of 150 steps, the iron cannon of the shogunate army was not enough for the bow and arrow. Half half, it fell down, and although the iron cannon was very lively, it was also thunderous, the rain was small, and it was murmured. The soldiers of the shogunate were shot in one after another. The Chinese soldiers who were in the fight can hit the city wall directly. Dodge, so it also made the soldiers of the shogunate army feel this battle that could not fight.
Sakai Kiyoshi hid in the tower, and his heart also cried secretly. I did not expect that the Chinese army's musket would be so powerful. The range was far more than himself. If you hit it, you can only be beaten passively, but he has no power to return. I am afraid that the city will only take a few days, so Sakai Qingsheng has to take risks to send 3,000 soldiers, and go out of the city to face the Chinese army. It is always better than being a target on the city wall.
But after the shogunate army killed Osaka City, I found that it was impossible to get close to the Chinese army's formation at all, because the Chinese army's shooting speed was extremely fast. The method expanded the killing surface. As a result, the shogunate soldiers in front were beaten to the ground. After a while, hundreds of people were killed.
Although it is said that the Japanese are really struggling to fight, but in the face of this situation that is almost unable to lose, no soldiers are willing to die in vain, so they return to Osaka Castle.
After the attack on the Shogunate Army, the Chinese Army turned their target to the city's head. It was going on, and at this time, the Chinese army's engineering soldiers drove and came to the moat and landed the moat.
At this time, the defendant was completely suppressed by the Chinese army, so the work of the engineering soldiers was very smooth. It took less than an hour to fill in four roads on the moat, although the Shoguku Mansion was in the Shizhong Mansion. The army also tried to scratch the work of the engineering soldier, but under the cover of the gunman's firepower, it still could not stop the work of the engineering soldier.
Cheng Jin saw the road, immediately ordered, and began to blast Osaka City.
So from the national array of the Chinese Army, six blasting cars were launched. Under the cover of firepower, it was advanced to the walls of Osaka City, and it passed the moat very smoothly. Closer, the blasting soldiers also immediately started connecting, pierced the tube, and then ignited the lead, and the speed retreated. In the whole process, there was almost no blockage from the troops on the city, because at this time on the wall of Osaka City, basically basically, basically basically I can't see any defense.
There is no other way Sakai Kiyoshi now. Only the soldiers can be hidden on the city wall. After the Chinese army attacks the city walls of Osaka, and then fight with the Chinese army, Sakai Qingsheng also wants to pass. Anyway, China If you want to capture Osaka City, you must first board the city wall. When the Chinese army attacks the city wall, the shogunate army will fight back. After the two sides have a melee, the Chinese army's muskets are farther away, and it is useless. Therefore, as long as they can keep it, The city wall can be kept in Osaka City, but what makes Sakai Kiyoshi think is that the Chinese army never thought about boarding the city wall, but directly exploded the city wall.
With the "bombardment, bombardment", the twice was deafening, the mountains moved, and the smoke Miman, completely mask the city walls of Osaka City.
But after the smoke spread, it found that although a large pit was fried on the wall and the cracks were like nets, it still failed to fry the city walls of Osaka City.
Chengjin also frowned. I didn't expect that the walls of Osaka City would be so strong, but immediately ordered it to make a second blasting of Osaka City immediately.
