However, King Shōnin had spent a lot of money on Amami Walled City, forgetting the fact that their Ryukyu soldiers were not strong enough to control these advanced weapons.

Without rigorous training, only the basic skills of operating artillery were initially taught, and the Ryukyu warriors who hurriedly went online had sharp artillery, but there was no way to convert these artillery into actual combat power.

The continuous firing of one artillery shot, and the fact that two or three out of ten shells hit the dense landing Japanese team was already considered the luck of these Ryukyu warriors.

Fortunately, in the previous basic operation, Zhao Xingdou and other members who were familiar with artillery strictly stipulated the weight of the amount of charge for each artillery, and now the Japanese people are only grabbing the beach and have not really approached the Amami Walled City, so the Ryukyu warriors, who have no psychological pressure for the time being, can barely apply gunpowder and shells according to the rules, and there are no accidents such as explosions.

Of course, this damage is also very small, even with the damage of the 500 musketeers and the long-range weapons of ordinary bows and crossbows, this threat is really a bit stretchable for the thousands of Japanese warriors who have landed on the beach!

Wu Daofu's face turned dark, and he watched as the cannonballs fell either grazing the edge of the Japanese ranks, or simply leaving the people for 108,000 miles, and the cannonballs hit by luck alone did little damage because of the scattered formations of the people.

It's a pity that the elite soldiers of Hongtang Jing led by him were sent to the team of the water division as the backbone, and at this moment, the brothers who were holding the handle in their hands did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

The warriors of the Ryukyu Kingdom had seen such a huge scene once upon a time, and they saw a crowd of people in front of them. The long knives and spears they were carrying in their hands exuded a cold cold light, and the deep murderous aura on their faces made the group of recruits of the Ryukyu Kingdom shiver one by one, and many of them shivered involuntarily, almost unable to stand.

If it weren't for the Hongtang soldiers who kept scolding and scolding, few of these Ryukyu soldiers would have been frightened to the ground on the spot.

Especially the soldiers who came from the sailor division, they were still trapped in the shadow of the tragic scene of the last battle, this time as soon as they came up, they saw dense figures, with a strong killing machine towards the city wall where they were located, many people were floating, their expressions were in a trance, they had to be scolded by the backbone of Hongtang or even waved twice to come back to their senses and barely support themselves.

"All of them, stop shooting!" The vast majority of bows, crossbows, muskets, and bullets deviated from the Japanese ranks, and only a few brought a slight damage, so Wu Daofu simply issued an order to order Daqian to stop this senseless shooting.

The team finally stopped shooting under the reprimands of the non-commissioned officers from all walks of life, and without this unbridled shooting block, the Japanese team marched several points faster.

It was not until the vanguard of the Japanese team rushed to a distance of more than a hundred steps under the walled city that Wu Daofu gave the order to shoot again. This time, because the distance was a little closer, the Ryukyu warriors were relatively more accurate in shooting, but there were still more than half of the bows and ammunition that were too far from the target to have any effect at all.

The Japanese did not show weakness, they were already good at three-stage shooting, this time Shimazu Iehisa in Satsuma gave Shimazu Hisao a thousand musketeers, and when the team rushed to the front of the city wall more than a hundred paces away, they had already begun to return fire.

There is no harm if there is no comparison, and when the Japanese people shoot, the Ryukyu warriors on the city wall fell in response, and the remaining soldiers can no longer hold the fear in their hearts because of what happened to their companions, and they have turned into birds and beasts, scattering and hiding behind the battlements of the city wall and not daring to come out.

"Get out of here, who dares to fight, don't blame Lao Tzu for the knives and guns in his hands to supply you with face!" Seeing that the scene was only worse, Wu Daofu's anger and murderous intent could not be concealed, and turned into a hideous murderous intent on his face, and he drew his long knife and roared viciously.

At the same time, the Hongtang warriors who received his eyes also drew their long knives one after another, and fiercely slapped at the Ryukyu warriors who were like turtles with shrunken heads.

The 5,000 Ryukyu soldiers were too frightened to stand up and resist before the 5,000 Ryukyu soldiers had already fought in attack and defense, and only more than 1,000 Ryukyu warriors who had previously fought in offensive and defensive battles barely maintained themselves on the walled city walls, resisting the attacks of the Japanese with sparse shots.

"Not good!" Wu Daofu only focused more on the group of Ryukyu warriors who were cowering, but forgot to pay attention to the Japanese army that was landing in front of him, and when he raised his head again to observe the movements of the Japanese people, he was shocked by the three cannons that were carried off the Japanese warship at an unknown time.

Just a cursory glance, Wu Daofu is very experienced in visually measuring that the cannon that the Japanese people have spent a lot of effort to carry down is at least about 3,000 catties, with the muzzle of the black hole that flickers by from time to time, Wu Daofu believes that each of these three cannons can fire at least more than 30 catties, that is, the 36-pounder cannon that the foreigners say.

Although the power of this kind of heavy artillery is not enough to completely destroy the Amami Walled City, which is still a thick city wall, if the Japanese people are lucky enough to shoot continuously in a certain area, this city wall will not be able to withstand the destruction of many high-powered shells like cannonballs!

Although Bengang is friendly with the Ryukyu Kingdom, it is not good enough to sell cement, a quasi-strategic material, to the Ryukyu Kingdom, and the development of Da'an Port requires a large amount of cement, so most of the raw materials used in this Amami walled city are made of local materials and stones and clay on this Amami Island, combined with lime and other materials made by the people, there is no problem in defending against the invasion of ordinary pirates, but in the face of such epoch-making hot weapons, they are stronger than the blue brick houses of the common people.

In particular, the gate of Amami Walled City, which is made of half-foot-thick logs, may not be able to hold out at all, and a round of bombardment of the opponent's three cannons will turn into a piece of debris.

"Xiao Xiurong, you quickly organize people to pile up sand and earth blocks behind the city gate, and you must not let the city gate be destroyed by the other party's artillery fire!" His face changed several times, and in the end, Wu Daofu could only use a stupid way to solve this most urgent problem.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, Xiao Xiurong hurriedly organized people to rescue this most fatal flaw!

Fortunately, the weight of these three cannons is arduous, and it is not possible to complete it in a moment and a half if they want to move them to a favorable position, Wu Daofu and they still have a little time to remedy this problem, but to be honest, even Wu Daofu did not count in his heart, whether this improvised method and the raw materials found could withstand the bombardment of the three cannons.
