Chapter 117: Desperate Wang Zhi

But it was obviously too late at this time, and the shouts of killing from the top of the mountain suddenly became fierce, and the sound of muskets suddenly intensified, like a storm.

Those muskets were extremely sharp, and the Japanese under Wang Zhi, who rushed in front, quickly fell in large numbers.

Then there was a strange whistling sound overhead, and then the team fell into black dots one after another, and with a roar and explosion, the sky rained blood, and countless severed limbs and stumps began to fly.

How could the king not know that he had been tricked until this time, he shouted angrily and took the lead and ran towards the dock. He thought that if he could escape to the big ship, there would be a glimmer of hope of escaping. If you are trapped on the island, you will only be dead.

But at this time, it was obviously too late, and a large number of men and horses wearing short red military uniforms rushed down from the top of the mountain, shouting angrily, accompanied by dense bullets, and poured towards Wang Zhi's people.

Wang Zhi's widows fell down one by one like cutting leeks, and Wang Zhi was horrified in his heart.

He knew that this group of people must not be Jiro Aoki's subordinates, they definitely did not have this kind of strength.

He didn't know who had ambushed him, but he knew that if he didn't run again, he probably wouldn't have a chance to escape from the island.

Wang Zhi and a few of his cronies rushed to the dock desperately, believing that as long as he ran to the dock and boarded his big ship, he would hope to escape.

However, when Wang Zhi was less than a few hundred steps away from the dock, two waves of men and horses wearing the same red military uniforms rushed out from the east and west at the same time, and rushed towards them.

Wang Zhi was shocked. He knew that he was completely trapped in the encirclement set up by others.

Just when Wang Zhi was surrounded by the Qin army on the island, Wang Zhi's fleet on the sea also discovered the Qin army's naval division warships surrounded from all sides.

However, they had not seen the warships of the Qin army's naval divisions, so they thought they were other Japanese robbers who took the opportunity to sneak attack.

It's just that Wang Zhi is now trapped on the island, so it is impossible to get any contact with them.

The widows who remained on the ship had no idea for a while, and after a hurried discussion, they made a stupid decision.

They decided to move all the ships closer to the pier.

In their opinion, as long as they can protect the dock from being occupied by the enemy, they will be able to pick up the king and escape.

And at this time, although they saw the chaos on the island, they thought it was an ambush set by Jiro Aoki. In their opinion, although Jiro Aoki is cunning and has set up an ambush circle, he is not Wang Zhi's opponent. Even if Wang Zhi can't annihilate Jiro Aoki, it will be enough to escape.

After making a decision, the would-be pirates contacted each other with flags, and then drove their boats closer to the docks

At this time, the encirclement of the Qin army's naval division had been reduced to less than ten nautical miles from the island.

On top of the flagship of the sailor, Deng Shichang couldn't help laughing when he saw the movements of these would-be robbers from the clairvoyant mirror

Originally, he was afraid that the Japanese would scatter and flee after discovering the surroundment of the sailors, so he would send a ship to pursue him. But I didn't expect these would-be robbers to gather together, which just gave the sailor a chance to catch them all.

More than a hundred warships surrounded the island from all sides, and except for a few ships on the other three sides, the main fleet gathered in the direction of the dock.

Under the command of Deng Shichang's flagship, the main fleet divided into three directions and launched an attack on the Japanese ships gathered near the dock.

At this time, the two sides have already shown their swords and guns, and there is no need to hide their strength at all.

Although Wang Zhi has many ships, he seems to be powerful. But in fact, it doesn't have too strong combat effectiveness.

Although some of his ships were loaded with artillery, these guns were also uneven, with different ranges and different powers.

The most important thing is that there are too few of them, and most of the ships have no weapons on them that can be attacked from a distance.

Since the main enemies of these pirates were passing merchant ships and landing to raid the coastal people, there was no need to load too much artillery.

Moreover, artillery was originally a militaristic heavy weapon. A country can't have too many, let alone a group of pirates, who can have some muskets is considered to be the sky.

And the sailor is very different.

All of the sailors were real warships, and even the lightest armed transports had the firepower of 20 guns each, not to mention the firepower of the new warships after the system upgrade reached the industrial age.

The guns on these ships have increased rifling, and although the caliber has become smaller, the accuracy and power have become more powerful, and the range has also increased a lot.

Often, the artillery on the Japanese ships could not hit the naval warships at all, and the shells were exhausted and fell into the sea, and they were still far away from the naval warships.

And the naval warships could hit the enemy warships with a single shot, and even some shells flew over their heads.

Once the sailors attacked with all their might, Wang Zhi's fleet did not have much power to fight back, and after a few hurried shots, a ship was hit by the sailors' artillery, which soon ignited a fire, and soon began to sink.

Next, more ships were hit by the sailors' artillery, and a fire broke out, and the remaining Japanese robbers on them also jumped into the water to escape.

At this time, Wang Zhi on the island also fell into a bitter battle, although he landed on the island with more than 2,000 Japanese invaders, looking at a lot of people, but in the face of 20,000 Qin army infantry attack, it was like a storm, a night of flat boats under the stormy waves, at any time may be overturned by the waves.

Moreover, the firearms of the soldiers of the Qin army were so advanced, as well as artillery to help them, as well as melee artifacts such as grenades, in less than half an hour, there were less than three or four hundred of the more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers under Wang Zhi's command at this time. And many of these people who are alive are wounded.

Wang Zhi's heart was already gloomy about this matter, and he knew that he might have no hope of escaping today.

And at this time, he didn't need a clairvoyant mirror to clearly see that his own fleet was also suffering heavy losses.

And obviously the firepower of the opponent's warships is very strong, and the ships under his command have no resistance at all, they are hit and set on fire, and they are silent one after another, which makes his heart even more full of despair.

He couldn't figure out how all this happened today.

He confidently led a large group of men to annex Jiro Aoki, but he didn't expect that he would become the prey of someone else's trap.

What frustrated him the most was that until now, he had no idea where the powerful army that surrounded him came from.

Wang Zhi has been crisscrossing the sea for many years, and he does not think that this is the strength that a Japanese coward can have.

In his opinion, this is simply the strength that only the official army has.

However, he knew that the imperial court was already in turmoil, and only half of the country was left, and it was impossible to send a sailor to deal with the design himself.

Moreover, the sailors of the imperial court were all lost more than ten years ago, and even if they wanted to deal with themselves, they didn't have the strength.

The muskets and artillery in the hands of this unidentified enemy were so sharp that he had never seen them in his life, even more than the breech-loading rifled guns he had purchased from English merchants.

He is full of despair now, but before he dies, his greatest wish is to know who the other party is, why should he not be able to get along with him? Why did you know that he would come here today to attack Jiro Aoki?

He had so many questions in his mind that he wanted to know the answers.
