Edo Traveler

v11 Chapter 104: The melee in the city will begin

"Blow the trumpet, the whole army must gather!"

Chuemon Horai has also seen a lot of big scenes, and I have seen the scene where Eimi's cannons hit like raindrops once.

The sudden sound of cannons in Edo Castle could only mean one thing. That is the rebels of Yokohama, who have hijacked the train, rushed to Edo, and attacked the Edo city.

At this time, there is no time to think about what it should be, but it should be a problem of rebellion. Chuemon was only certain of one thing, and that was that the mutiny must be suppressed immediately, otherwise the shogunate's prestige in Japan, which had not been much, would have to drop a lot again.

"The situation is unclear, everything is to protect the city and the general first. Yokohama has a small number of soldiers, but only three or four thousand. Edo has a lot of soldiers, so it is proper to divide the troops." Chuemon saw that Matsudaira Qixuan was breathing, and immediately told him. .

The sky and the earth are bigger than the task of protecting the Tokugawa family. Since the rebels have arrived in Edo and are shelling Edo Castle, it means that his goal is very clear, that is, the Tokugawa family.

After protecting the Tokugawa family, no matter what the final situation is, for the shogunate itself, it is not a complete injury. The country's chief is still there, so there is still the possibility of reshaping the prestige and reputation. If Changjun dies, the follow-up will really be out of control.

"Okay! You can take your troops to this city. I'm the same age and three to fight the chaos." Songping Qi Xuan could also handle it clearly.

"Send someone to inform Hikone, Tsuyama, Tatsuno, and Sekiju." The other senior middle school members had to know immediately whether they were at the mansion house or in the city.

Before Edo Castle was in chaos, the old middle minister of the shogunate was in chaos. If someone ran away, or someone surrendered, it would be troublesome again.

"That's right." Songping Qixuan nodded.

The sudden sound of the cannon and the sound of the trumpet sounded violently immediately jolted the soldiers who had just finished breakfast. The trumpet sounded incessantly, and the soldiers knew that it was the sound of the horn to prepare for battle.

Years of practice have long trained a subconscious quick response. The soldiers of the teams flew out of the camp and quickly assembled in place, and it didn't take five minutes before and after.

Of course, the first to assemble must be light infantry, artillery, cavalry, etc. Because they are special arms, the mobilization is slower. Fortunately, this is an urban street battle, and it may not necessarily require any heavy artillery. It should be enough to start with the infantry first.

The Edo Castle itself was rebuilt by Chuemon. Chuemon knew very well that he had not done any tofu **** projects. Even if it was bombarded by cannons, it was impossible for the city walls to collapse with one or two cannons. Besides, there are dozens of meters wide moat around the city, and it is useless to blow down the city wall.

The rebels either bombarded such a major target as the Tianshu, trying to set fire to the city. Either attack the city gate, and if you break the city gate, you can quickly send troops into the city.

"The Amano team in the city, how many people are on duty today?" Quickly dispatched 11,200 elite soldiers from the Hachioji of Wuzhou with a thousand people, and Zhongyouemon rode on horses and left.

"No more than eight hundred people." Terazawa Shintaro, who was beside him, replied immediately.

In other words, there are only 800 trainees who are currently guarding the Edo main castle. I don't know how many rebels came from Yokohama. Can 800 people stand up?

………………

Lin Hachiro jumped out of the carriage, and immediately greeted the soldiers on the left and right to get out of the car. At this time, Nihonbashi Terminal had not yet started operation, most of the employees were still at home, and there were only a few staff on duty in the station.

At that time, some people asked aloud why Yokohama's Chuanxi soldiers suddenly arrived so early in the morning. The only person who could answer that person was Lin Hachiro's bullet.

At this time, all those who may block the way, hinder, and delay are all regarded by Lin Hachiro as the enemy of his rejuvenation of the shogunate and the establishment of constitutional government. In the face of the enemy, all he needs to do is to destroy it physically.

Seeing that the man was killed, the remaining staff on duty ran away without saying a word. Of course, you can't run around. Some go to Junzo's home to report the case, while others rush to the Edo-machi to report the case. Gotta find an excuse for myself to leave the train station anyway.

After taking control of Nihonbashi Railway Station, Lin Hachiro did not delay at all. He first took more than 300 backbones and prepared to go to the drainage outlet of Edo Castle and attack the city by surprise. Shibukawa Zensuke led the remaining men and horses, as well as seventy or eighty backbones under his own, supervising the feigned siege of these troops.

The other soldiers and horses are only used to attract the attraction of all parties in Edo.

More than ten minutes after Lin Hachiro set off, Takahashi Taro also rushed to Nihonbashi Station with the remaining troops. After pulling the cannon from the car, he joined forces with Shibukawa Zensuke, and with more than 2,000 slightly disorganized troops, attacked Edo Castle.

Moreover, what they wanted was to scare the snake. It was estimated that Lin Hachiro might have arrived at the Edo Castle, and Takahashi Taro immediately ordered the soldiers to fire into the city. Turn the attention of the security forces in the city to the side that was hit by the shelling.

In the same way, the troops of the Edo camp under the castle will definitely go to the place where the battle took place first after hearing that the Edo castle was shelled. Tokugawa Zhongzheng, the commander of the Edo soldiers and horses, was probably still sleeping at this time, and when he got up and led his troops, Lin Hachiro happened to be all in the city.

At that time, the soldiers and horses outside the city will fight together, and Lin Hachiro can play to the fullest in the city!

The plan was very smooth, Taro Takahashi ordered continued shelling and asked Shibukawa Zensuke to contact the accomplice in the city who promised to open the door for them. If you can form a saw at the city gate, or directly attack the city in one fell swoop, the subsequent battle will be much simpler.

Shibukawa Zensuke didn't say much. According to the agreement with the inner city, he sent a firework signal to the sky to inform the inner response that the troops and horses had arrived, and the door could be opened.

Everything is about as planned. At six o'clock in the morning in Edo, although a new day had already started, many people were still sleeping, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. The soldiers and horses quickly rushed out of Nihonbashi Railway Station and attacked Jiang. Hometown City.

The best thing to do is to block the Tokugawa family in the city and take them directly into the army. As long as the Tokugawa family is in hand, then this "righteous act" will gain a decisive victory weight.

Just as Takahashi Taro was very excited to direct the artillery to fire into the city, the soldiers and horses of the Edo Battalion, under the rectification of Matsudaira Qixuan, went out to fight. With such a loud cannon, it is easy to identify the direction.
