So before attacking the dock, he thought about simply defeating them, and no matter how bad it was, he would force them back a few hundred meters before attacking the dock.

After Zhang Linong made a decision, the infantry units of the Marine Corps immediately lined up, and the only three field guns also began to shell!

When the shelling began, the Fuso people on the opposite side also felt the pressure of the pirates on Yakushima, and their tight phalanx was almost a live target in the face of this kind of shelling!

Although there are not many field guns in the Marine Corps, there are only three in total, and they are only five-pound field guns.

It simply cannot be compared with the large-scale shelling of dozens of field guns when the army launched a campaign.

However, it must be noted that at this time, the scale of the battle between the two sides was only a few hundred people each, and the battle of dozens of artillery pieces on the army side had at least thousands of people participating in the battle, and sometimes even tens of thousands.

Hundreds of people and three five-pound field guns, this firepower match is not small.

In addition, at this time, the troops on both sides were on the plains, and these Fusang people on the opposite side did not know whether they learned the tactics passed down by the Westerners, or the tactics of the Tang Army, which was also a combination of arquebuses and spears.

In this way, the field artillery under Zhang Linong's command, every shell hit, as long as it fell into their phalanx, then it was basically able to plow out a bloody ditch.

The same solid shell, if it hits the troops under Zhang Linong, the casualties are in the single digits at most, because they are armed with flintlock pistols, and the queue is a horizontal line of only three platoons.

However, the formation on the side of the Fuso people is six or seven rows!

This means that when subjected to shelling, the casualties will be even greater!

What made the Fuso people vomit blood even more was that they withstood the shelling at this distance and had no power to fight back at all, because their shotgun range was not enough, and the range of only 100 meters was not enough to counterattack.

At first, they were counting on Zhang Linong's infantry to kill them, and then the two sides engaged in close combat.

But Zhang Linong is not stupid, since he has the advantage of long-range firepower, why should he be stupid to let the infantry get close to shoot at them, it is good to stay at a distance of two hundred meters.

Although the power of the three artillery pieces is not enough to completely defeat these hundreds of Fusang people in one round of shelling, but these Fusang people are live targets, one round of artillery bombardment is not enough, and it is okay to fight several rounds, or even dozens of rounds.

When the Fusang people can't withstand the shelling, whether they take the initiative to attack or retreat, then it will be his chance!

Sure enough, seeing that Zhang Linong's infantry did not take the initiative to attack, and stopped at a position of about two hundred meters, those Fusang people finally couldn't bear the one-sided casualties.

They wanted to make a change, but they didn't dare to attack directly, but wanted to spread out the formation more to avoid shelling!

Seeing that they took the initiative to divide the formation even more, Zhang Linong also smiled at the corner of his mouth, they thought that it would be safe if the formation was thinned, at most there were fewer casualties, but it was impossible to completely avoid shelling casualties.

Today, Lao Tzu has time, so I will consume it with you!

And so, the shelling continued!

Faced with shells falling into the phalanx from time to time, and then people were killed and wounded, these Fusang people on the opposite side finally couldn't help it!

Zhang Linong seemed to hear someone shouting loudly in the Fusang formation, and he secretly said in his heart: Is this going to be the reason why you can't help but take the initiative to attack?

Immediately, he also said loudly: "The whole army is ready to fight!" ”

Although the Fuso people were not good, they should not be taken lightly when they rushed over, otherwise it would be troublesome if the boat capsized in the gutter, so he told the soldiers to be on standby, and as soon as they came within range of the flintlock pistol, he would give them a few rounds of shooting.

But what he didn't expect was that he was just about to let the soldiers prepare for battle, but he saw the Fusang people on the opposite side move, but instead of rushing over, he turned around and ran!

Damn, don't fight, just run?

Zhang Linong was a little dumbfounded!

Then he was just decent as a middle-level and high-ranking officer, and he scolded on the spot: What a bold barbarian, he dared to play with his own officer! ”

Then after taking a deep breath, he gave another order: "Order, the whole army will turn around and capture the dock!" ”

The adjutant on the side was a little puzzled: "My lord, aren't we chasing?" When they retreated, the formation was scattered, just when we were pursuing! ”

Zhang Linong looked at him as a fool, and then asked rhetorically: "Tell this official, what is our task now?" ”

"Landing on Tanegashima and capture the docks!" When he said this, the adjutant also knew that he seemed to be asking a fool's question!

That's right, they originally wanted to capture the dock, so they decided to come first to defeat or drive away those Fuso people, and now that they have run, they just took the opportunity to capture the dock!

At this time, Zhang Linong said: "As for those barbarians who want to run, let them run, this kind of sub-island is so big, where can they run!" ”

The adjutant added, "What if they run to the north of the island and cross the sea to the Osumi Peninsula?" ”

Zhang Linong said: "Are you an ornament when we are our fleet?" ”

"See for yourself, you don't need us to prompt, Lord Feng's side has already started to act!"

The adjutant looked at the sea at this time, and sure enough, Feng Qirong had already led the cruiser and the other two frigates to set sail, and it was sailing towards the north, did you need to ask where to go? It's definitely going to the northern tip of Tanegashima to blockade it!

Not only did they have to organize the people of the Shijima clan to flee north across the sea, but they were also preparing to intercept the reinforcements that might be sent from the Osumi Peninsula to prevent the Liver Fu clan, which ruled the Osumi Peninsula, from sending people to the Osumi Islands.

There is a fleet on the sea, and Tanegashima is only a little bigger, and it is an elongated terrain, only five or six kilometers wide from east to west, and ten or twenty kilometers long from north to south, which is more favorable for subsequent Marine operations.

In the future, they don't have to bother much, just sweep north, and then these Fusang people don't have to wait for themselves somewhere, they may be prepared for a long time and gather more troops.

But then your own strength will be stronger!

Before the war, the fleet was considering that the ground combat mission would be heavier after landing on Tanegashima, so it also prepared about 200 sailors for the landing operation, and these sailors were all sailors from the transport ship.

And if you want them to go ashore to fight, you must at least occupy the dock first, and then let these transport ships dock and complete the transportation task, otherwise, those sailors will not be able to pull out!

In addition to direct reinforcements, more importantly, after occupying the dock, he can get more artillery, not only the field guns of the marines, but also the naval guns.

In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless!

If you don't accept it, you will hit it with one shot!
