After hearing this, Musashi tried hard not to curse out "Baka".

He knew that he had become somewhat alienated from the soldiers around him.

So he suppressed his anger and said, "How can I not see what you said? What can you do?"

The Japanese general organized his words and said, "Marshal, I just have a small suggestion. The Sakura cannons we brought from Japan are also very powerful."

"Although you have launched several cherry blossom cannons to fight against the Wei army, this is obviously not enough."

"This battle has reached the most critical moment. You might as well push all the cannons behind the last fence and don't be stingy with the shells and gunpowder. If we lose this battle, many people will die."

…

After saying this, the Japanese general quickly slipped away.

He just gave Musashi some advice because he really couldn't stand the current situation, but he didn't want to offend Musashi.

But after the Japanese general left, Musashi felt a sense of sudden enlightenment in his heart.

If the Japanese general had not reminded him, he would have forgotten that there were more than a dozen large-caliber Sakura cannons in his camp.

These cannons were originally kept by Musashi for use in attacking cities and strongholds in Middle-earth, but now that the situation has reached this point, this is the only way to use them.

…

While Musashi was one step behind others, he finally took out all the cannons in his camp.

These cannons were built at great expense by the Emperor of Japan. Unless it was a critical moment, no one would be willing to use them all. But now, the critical moment has arrived.

…

The rumbling sound of cannons once again echoed in front of the two armies, but this time it was Xu Da's turn to be surprised.

After all, the Japanese artillery formation has been upgraded to more than one level. In the artillery battle of the past day, the Japanese artillery only overturned six or seven cannons of the Wei army. But now, in less than a quarter of an hour, two cannons were overturned.

Lan Yu on the side said in surprise: "Marshal, I never thought that the Japanese still have a backup plan. However, they still have so many cannons in their camp, why are they pulling them all out now?"

Xu Da smiled bitterly: "Who knows? Could it be that Musashi has some backup plan?"

Both Xu Da and Lan Yu overestimated Musashi, but he actually forgot.

As a great marshal of the Japanese army, it was really difficult for Musashi to come to the battlefield in China.

At this moment, Feng Sheng, who had been holding the front line, sent back a young general and asked, "General, the Japanese's firepower has increased. General Feng asks, do you want to temporarily avoid the attack?"

Xu Da said angrily: "What's the point of hiding for a while? The battle has come to this point, we must fight with all our might."

"Go back and tell Feng Sheng that the Japanese don't have many cannons. First, ask him to stop bombarding the last large fence in front of the Japanese formation. Ask him to raise the muzzle of the cannon and directly bombard the Japanese artillery camp."

After receiving the instructions, the young general hurriedly took the order and left.

A moment later, the Wei army's artillery formation was no longer in a passive situation. Just as Xu Da said, Feng Sheng had ordered the muzzles to be raised. For a moment, countless artillery shells made of pig iron rained down on the Japanese artillery formation.

Even though the small country of Japan has some high-tech things, it doesn't know how to use them.

As for experience in artillery combat, it is even less.

Feng Sheng ordered that each cannon should not fight on its own. He ordered that all the dozens of cannons under his command should aim at one of the Japanese cannons. Dozens of shells flew towards one Sakura cannon at the same time. Therefore, even if the hit rate was low, two rounds of salvos were enough to destroy one of their cannons.

In less than two quarters of an hour, six or seven cannons were overturned by the Wei army. Fortunately, the artillery shells of this era were all iron lumps made of pig iron. If they had some explosive function, the battle would have been over.

However, even so, the Wei army's artillery still caused considerable casualties.

Lan Yu, who was still watching the battle in the camp, nodded with satisfaction: "Feng Sheng still has some brains. He is much stronger than the Japanese commander. If this continues, I'm afraid the outcome will be known today."

Xu Da smiled and looked at him: "Don't be too complacent, kid. What's happening on the front battlefield has nothing to do with you. Don't forget your mission. When I launch the charge, you have to make a detour and block the Japanese's retreat from behind."

Lan Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, Marshal, I don't care whether it is a frontal battlefield or not, as long as we can kill the Japanese."

On the other hand, Musashi had only placed a few Sakura cannons behind the barrier. Although those cannons were constantly bombarding the Wei army's artillery formation, their hit rate was low, so the Wei army soldiers just ignored the limited casualties. But now, once the Wei army gets serious, it will not be a simple matter.

In just a short while, half of the Sakura cannons that Musashi had brought from Japan with great difficulty were overturned. If this continued, these Sakura cannons that were left for future use would be destroyed without even playing any role.

Musashi was angry. He turned to look at the Japanese general who had just given the idea, but for some reason, he looked around several times but couldn't see the man.

…

For the Japanese, everything has become unavoidable.

Musashi originally thought that his camp could at least withstand the attack of the Wei army for four or five days, but what he didn't expect was that it was only the afternoon of the second day and the situation was imminent.

The five large fences he had painstakingly built could only hold out for more than ten hours under the artillery fire of the Wei army.

Although it was already afternoon, the sun had not yet set and it would take at least two or three hours before dark. Seeing that there was no more cover in front of the two armies, Musashi's heart was completely in chaos.

Without the obstruction of the large fence, the two armies would soon come into close combat.

Although he was a little flustered, he quickly transferred tens of thousands of soldiers to his front. No matter what, an unfavorable situation could not occur within two hours. After dark, he would hold a high-level military meeting. Perhaps, there would be a possibility of turning the situation around.

…

On the opposite side, Xu Da had already called Fu Youde to his front: "General Fu, the five large fences in front of the Japanese camp have all been cleared. You will lead 20,000 soldiers to attack under the enemy's rain of arrows. I will give you one hour. You must tear open a few holes for me before the sun sets. When you are almost done, my army of more than 100,000 will rush forward. I want to let these damn Japanese know what a real overwhelming force is."
