Soon... the hour hand in the pocket watch points to "8" and the minute hand points to "12"...

Looking at the time displayed on the pocket watch, Qingto silently closed the watch cover, then turned his head and signaled Abe Juro with his eyes.

This was the look Juro Abe had been waiting for for a long time... He immediately stood up straight, and then raised the flag in his hand high——

"fire!"

The next moment, a deafening roar dominated the entire Matsuo Mountain!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

The artillery array roared, shaking the whole mountain!

The light balls that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye rose high, drew beautiful parabolas in mid-air, and hit Nangong Mountain heavily!

Almost at the same time that Mount Matsuo roared, Mount Sasao to the north also erupted with an incomparable roar!

The artillery array on Mount Sasao is showing off its power!

Countless balls of light poured down from two directions like raindrops!

In just a blink of an eye, waves of flames bloomed on Nangong Mountain! The flames jumped up like a fountain!

The trees disappeared.

The stone shattered.

They were smashed, crushed and torn into pieces by the shells!

"Cannonballs! Give me cannonballs quickly!"

"Run! Run for me! Quickly bring me the cannonballs!"

"The rain of bombardment cannot stop!"

Whether it was the artillery array at Sasao Mountain or the artillery array at Matsuo Mountain, the soldiers of the 11th Squadron were all busy.

The person responsible for firing the cannon fired the cannon continuously.

The person responsible for transporting the cannonballs carried the cannonballs without their feet touching the ground.

Qingdeng watched all this coldly, letting Nangong Mountain be submerged by the rain of bullets and the sea of ​​flames.

The continuous rain of artillery fire seemed to be a signal: it symbolized the official start of a war that attracted worldwide attention!

In the first year of Yuanji (1864), the second Sekigahara War began!
