Chapter 293: Five First Sun Cannons
The Nagako army lined up on the dock couldn't lift their spirits when they saw the more than 2,000 people rushing out of the city, and such an ashigaru army was not as good as the big battle with the Satsuma domain.
Before the Japanese team could get closer, they were subjected to overwhelming artillery fire, and the Sea Shark warships, which had been staying on the surface of the sea, fired shells continuously.
Ten Sea Shark warships fired a salvo in one direction, and the scene was spectacular. Hundreds of iron balls hit the team of the Japanese people, and the originally neat team was dealt a devastating blow in an instant.
The scorching shells easily plowed a blood-paved alley through the crowd, and stumps and severed arms flew everywhere. The person who was hit was instantly torn apart, but this was only the beginning.
One cannonball after another smashed into the crowd, and the cannonballs that landed would bounce and roll forward.
Several broken legs were left on the ground in an instant, and the wailing Japanese ashigaru lying on the ground was hit by the beating cannonballs, and in an instant they were turned into a pile of minced meat.
For a time, the corpses were strewn all over the crowd of the Japanese attackers, and the sound of screams was heard far away.
After a round of shelling, there were less than 600 Japanese still standing in place. Even their commander, Matsuura Noyu, was beaten to death, and the surviving Ashigaru screamed and fled back at a faster speed.
The Changxing army on the dock saw a burst of laughter, and the fierce Japanese ashigaru was beaten away by a burst of artillery before he got close, and such a team still wanted to hold Nagasaki?
Yan Siqi was also among the landing personnel, and he selected a thousand pirates who were slightly injured and could still fight among the pirates to join the landing battle.
Yan Siqi, who was thinking of showing his hand, was also in the midst of petrification, and he couldn't imagine that he could defeat an army with artillery fire alone.
He was equally surprised by the unruly pirates who had only now seen the power of the Changxing Army.
When Yan Siqi came back to his senses, the first thing he did was to lecture his brothers: "You bunnies have all taken the light of the picture, in the past, we used to do business by ourselves, steal some of me, who is the eldest brother, and turn a blind eye to it."
Now Changxingjun is in charge, if anyone bumps into their hands, don't blame me, who is a big brother, for being unsympathetic.
and all controlled the things in the crotch, and when they got off the boat, the official brothers confessed. Whoever commits a crime on this has never been saved!
All right! Brothers! Nagasaki Castle is ours! The pirates cheered and rushed towards Nagasaki Castle.
Originally, some pirates still scoffed at the rules of the Changxing Army, but the artillery fire just now really scared them. Put away their contempt one by one and keep those deadly rules in mind.
Liu Xitian's artillery team has increased a little, and he can only be equipped with the Chuyang cannon on the battleship, but he also got five.
For the sake of these five cannons, he specially recruited 100 coolies from the Japanese people. These men followed the line behind the group with heavy artillery and marched towards Nagasaki Castle, and they all pushed the artillery with all their might.
When recruiting, Master Mingren made it clear that as long as you have served in Master Mingren's army for one year, you can become a naturalized citizen. Not only himself, but also two family members can join the Immortal Island nationality together, and then they can enjoy the benefits of dividing the land and women.
For a happy life in the future, these widows have already fought hard. As they passed the garbage dump next to the dock, a widow shouted into the area, "Who is it?" If you don't come out again, you're dead, you're dead! ”
All the artillery members stopped, and everyone drew their short handcuffs from their waists. This is a weapon specially equipped for them in close combat, so that the artillery can also fight back if it is close to the enemy.
An emaciated figure in the garbage heap slowly stood up, and he took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground. He said, "Master! Yamamoto is a coolie on the dock, please let Yamamoto go! ”
Looking at the emaciated Yamamoto, several widows couldn't bear to kill such a young man, and turned to look at Liu Xitian.
Liu Xitian walked out of the crowd and asked, "You are from Nagasaki, so you must be very familiar with Nagasaki City." Do you know which one is the most powerful and which one is the richest? ”
Yamamoto listened to Liu Xitian's words translated by others, and immediately nodded and said, "Hi! Yamamoto is willing to serve adults! ”
When the artillery team arrived at the foot of Nagasaki City, the team of Changxing Army and Yan Siqi had been waiting for a long time.
"Lao Liu! You can't hurry, brothers are waiting impatiently! ”
"It's Lao Liu! You're not going to put all your energy on the Korean girls in Jeju City, are you? It's so slow, be careful that you can't even drink the soup until you wait! ”
Liu Xitian listened to the words of his companion and scolded with a smile: "Get out!" Dozens of cannons, you think they're made of wood? It's already the fastest time to get there now, why don't I rest for half an hour before attacking the city? ”
"Don't! Lao Liu, my brother is wrong! Next time I'll treat you to the VIP building! ”
Yan Siqi's subordinates were a little disdainful of the performance of the Changxing Army, if it weren't for their eldest brother suppressing them, they would have been overwhelmed and attacked the city.
Wasn't that the attack on the fortified city? How can there be immortals in a siege? I can't blame others when I die, I only blame myself for my bad life. The living take a lot of money and continue to live happily. How can a mother-in-law like Changxingjun have to wait for the artillery to come up. I didn't have artillery before, and I still built a fortified city?
While everyone was waiting, Liu Xitian commanded the artillery to deploy quickly, preparing to bombard Nagasaki City.
Nagasaki Castle was already in chaos, and the defenders rushed out of the castle and never returned. Now that the pirates are in the city, they may attack at any time.
The elders in the city hurriedly gathered the major merchants and wealthy families and asked them to hand over their guards to command and defend the city.
It took a long time to get more than 1,000 people, plus the temporary mobilization of the young people in the city. The number of defenders of the castle has reached 3,000, and Nagasaki is extremely important, so there is no shortage of equipment to defend the city.
Saburo Matsuura, who commanded the defense of the city, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw the dense cylinders outside the city, his heart was not calm.
What are you doing here? Do you want to destroy the walls of Nagasaki with artillery alone? Is this possible?
The Nagako army did not give Matsuura Saburo time to think about it, and the artillery began to fire round after round at Nagasaki.
In an instant, the walls of Nagasaki were covered in thick smoke and bricks and stones were flying everywhere. Screams kept coming from the city, and several people fell off the city and fell into meatloaf.
Liu Xitian just asked the artillerymen to continue firing, and led the Japanese to push the 24-pounder Chuyang cannon forward. The range of this gun is too close, and if you want to hit the target, you have to fire within a mile.
Nagasaki's walls are so strong that the entire wall is made of stone and masonry. The original 12-pounder cannon hit it, but it didn't cause much damage to the city wall except for the rubble.
If you want to completely destroy the city wall, don't think about it for a day.
He brought five early yang cannons this time to see if this kind of heavy artillery could build miraculous feats.
