Wu Daofu and the others may not give Kayama Hisataka ten days of chance, when he led the team back from the main island of the Ryukyus, the first thing he did was to gather a large number of middle and low-level non-commissioned officers and issue a pre-war mobilization order to them.

Given that most of the members of this group were recruited from the pirates, although Wu Daofu did not think that they had treated them badly in terms of salary and benefits for most of the past six months. But fighting on the battlefield is always inevitable, and the new members are naturally more and more worried about the lives of their families after they die, in order to boost morale and dispel the suspicions of these new members, Wu Daofu Yue Yue Dai, on the ocean outside Amami Island, will be issued by the logistics department of Qixintang after returning to Jilong Port.

The heavy, white silver was distributed in front of all the players present, and behind the list of all the dead players was a string of numbers, that is, the reward for the price paid by these members.

Although this number may not be very large, it is enough for a family of five to safely support their life for the first ten years, enough for them to raise their own children, plus the various benefits promised by Hongtang, it is not a problem to feed a large family.

It was Wu Daofu's small action that made the team members who had won a big battle and their morale was very high, and they had a lot less worries, and their enthusiasm for fighting became more and more surging.

"Commander, isn't there something wrong with you doing this?" Although he was only a paramilitary staff officer, Xiao Xiurong, who had a keen sense of smell, still felt that it seemed to be a taboo somewhere, so he quietly walked to Wu Daofu's side to remind him.

"Don't worry, I'm measured, our young master is not the kind of stingy person!" Wu Daofu quietly observed the movements of the team members below, and felt more and more that he was not wrong to do this.

Wu Daofu wanted to complete the battle of the Japanese people perfectly, after all, this was a major event related to his future future. According to the agreement with King Shangning, if Hongtang helps King Shangning drive Satsuma out of the Ryukyu Islands this time, and in return and Hongtang provides sea protection for King Shangning in the future, he Wu Daofu will be promoted by the Ryukyu royal family to be the admiral of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Thinking about him, Wu Daofu has been a pirate for so many years, once upon a time, he dared to have such a delusion, but at this moment, this dream is only one step away from him, a beautiful opportunity to glorify the ancestors and leave behind the descendants is just in front of him Wu Daofu, how can he not be moved and do his best not for it!

Xiao Xiurong looked at Wu Daofu's somewhat crazy eyes at this time, knowing that Wu Daofu might not be able to hear what Wu Daofu said at this time, so he could only shake his head and walk out with a sigh.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiurong also knew that although this matter was a bit out of line, Wu Daofu did not fill his pockets, and the starting point was also for the sake of this important battle, even if he went back, Li Tianyang would not really blame Wu Daofu. But in itself, the logistics department will definitely still have a fight with Wu Daofu about this matter.

From the perspective of the strength gap between the offensive and defensive sides, in the end, Hongtang's side still has a great advantage, who allows them to have sharp long-range artillery, and can also occupy the absolute initiative!

Not much to say, the day after returning to Amami Island, Wu Daofu, who was ready for everything, launched a fierce offensive.

In the previous naval battles, in addition to the guns on Wu Daofu's six warships, the other nearly 30 Hongtang warships were a little dull, and they did not fire a few rounds in total.

But this time it was different, the artillery carried by these warships, that was open and did not need money, bombed the lead bullets, iron bullets, and grape shells in the walled city of the Japanese people on Amami Oshima, and for a time the island was full of gunsmoke, earth and stone mixed with sawdust corpses, flying wildly, the scene was not moving.

Compared to the head-to-head battle of cold weapons, this thermal weapon is not only more visually shocking, but also impressive in terms of actual power.

The stone walls of the castle that they had spent more than ten years building were beaten into a sieve in the high-intensity artillery bombardment of more than an hour. In particular, the shells fired by the Shenwei cannon and several main cannons on Western-style warships, and lead bullets weighing more than 30 catties, were at least a big piece of damage if they hit the city wall, and no matter how strong the stone wall was, they could not stop the destruction of these shells.

Wu Daofu and the others have not yet prepared for the landing operation, and this first day of fighting will completely destroy the will of these people psychologically, if they send men to land too quickly, it will not only increase their own losses in vain, but also may not be able to achieve anything, but will make the other side firm in their determination to defend to the death because of the failure of the landing.

Therefore, Wu Daofu and they simply prepared to rely on this artillery attack on the first day, from physical to psychological to give this group of Japanese people mixed with pirates a unique battle, anyway, this time Wu Daofu They encountered a large amount of money, and all the ammunition reserves just opened their mouths to find this Ryukyu King to reach out and ask for it.

Although Li Tianyang has taken care of the training of Hongtang team members and tried to give everyone the opportunity to actually operate and fire artillery fire several times a month, where can they be like today, so that everyone can open up to launch artillery shells.

Wu Daofu and the others also had an idea, and they didn't want to sacrifice as many team members, so they came up with such a thing, but it seems that the effect is still good, and the offensive built by the Japanese people on the entire Amami Island is basically the same as the ground that has just been plowed down, and there is new soil that has been blackened everywhere.

The Japanese and pirates were also unlucky, the first time they experienced such a battle, put on the army of the Ming Dynasty, they were bombarded by dozens of cannons for an hour or two, it was not safe to hide anywhere, and it was indeed enough for their will to collapse.

One moment everyone was hiding behind a stone wall more than half a foot thick, but the next moment the people around them might be torn apart, and there would not even be a whole corpse, only a person whose skin was scratched by debris and whose ears were so shocked that he could not hear the sound, and no one would be full of despair about this battle.

Originally, this era did not know how to dodge shells in battle, and the Japanese people did not know how to build standardized fortifications.

Before Wu Daofu and them could start a landing battle, the Japanese and pirates here were already shouting that they couldn't bear it.

The second update!
