At the beginning of the operation, the situation developed as planned, and after several rounds of artillery fire, there were no living people on the Fort on the island, and the "Liaoyang" and "Haizhou" approached 500 paces to continue to monitor the fort to prevent it from recurring.

The Liaodong slowly approached the waterway population, so that it would not run aground on the reef at such a speed, and when it approached the twenty-pounder rifled gun that could hit the pirate warship, Wang Lianfa, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately fired the bow gun.

The target is very large, because the enemy's two ships are horizontal, and there are seven or eight warships the size of the Daming Haicang ship are also lined up, and the small copper muzzles equipped on them similar to the Daming guns are also facing the entrance of the waterway.

This was completely unexpected, and the pirates who were waiting for the battle gritted their teeth to give the Ming army a cannon fire to dispel the evil anger in their hearts, who knew that what they were waiting for was not to beat people but to be beaten.

The taste of being shelled unilaterally was not pleasant, and the 'Liaodong' slowly approached, bombarding one cannon after another unhurriedly. The loading speed of rifled guns in this era was far inferior to that of smoothbore guns, firstly, because of the slow clearing, they were all brushed several times with an iron brush like a feather duster to brush off the lead in the rifling.

The shells used to fire must also be hard pressed into them with sticks wrapped in cowhide, and they must be tight to fit the rifling, otherwise they will not only be inaccurate but also not far.

A skillfully loaded smoothbore gun can only shoot once if it shoots three times, so it is impossible for the Huang family's warships to be fully equipped with rifled guns, but mixed with smoothbore guns, because they have their own strengths.

The rifled gun hits far and accurately, and the advantage of the smoothbore gun is that it hits fast and fiercely, and the cost is cheap.

The flagship attacking the pirates was not afraid of the enemy's counter-charge, because there were seven warships following closely behind, and now they could not hit the enemy ships, but if the enemy ships rushed up and fought desperately, they would have to be swept away by seven flowering shells before they could shell the ships sideways, and the question was whether there were still people alive to steer the sails and rudder after such a blow?

No army has the morale or the determination to fight even when it can't be beaten alone, and it's just a thief!

After only three shots, the enemy ships that were hit and those who were not hit did not line up, and all of them moved, not counter-charging but docking.

The pirates scrambled to abandon the ship and run to the docks, and it was not known if they had a commander now.

Huang Mingli was happy to find that the enemy's warships were crushed, and the pirates threw down the warships and ran ashore, and we could capture more than a dozen large and small warships intact.

He did not rush to kill them all, let the pirates flee for their lives, nor did he command the 'Liaodong' to rush into the port, but to withdraw from the waterway, because Huang Sheng told him to pay attention to not allowing the flagship to enter the dangerous ground under any circumstances.

Now it is impossible to know whether there are any artillery guns in those rooms on the dock in the port, and the entry of a big guy like the flagship into a narrow area has been calculated by others, and the impact on morale is too great to be guarded against.

Or let the nimble grass skimming attack advance, and destroy the houses that might have hidden the artillery and be able to shoot at our warships before letting the fighters dock and log in.

Fortunately, Huang Sheng was cautious in his use of troops, because more than a dozen copper-core iron cannons were captured in the pirate's lair on the left front island, Huang Sheng thought that the enemy was mentally prepared to fight street battles on the island, why wouldn't they think of ambushing a few four-pounder cannons in the house near the dock?

Huang Mingdao led the fleet around the pirate Konojima lair for a few days, and the pirate leader Jiro Sakashima should have enough time to carry out the artillery arrangement in the warehouse.

Therefore, Huang Sheng ordered all warships to be on high alert, the unknown area must be clear at a glance, and if it can't be done, destroy everything, we are not afraid of trouble, and the safety of the soldiers comes first.

The warships that the Huang family entered the harbor were all firing, and there was not a single intact building left within the range of the gunfire, and the captain was carefully observing with binoculars, and then continued to fire until even the six-pounder smoothbore gun could not shoot at the dock at all.

Huang Sheng thinks that the people who deploy the defense should not be smart enough to lay the groundwork outside the range, if they can meet such a god-like enemy commander, they should not have a chance to be able to get in!

Jiro Sakashima is more scheming than his brother, and when he ran his second home port five years ago, he found that the natural conditions were far inferior to his brother's, because there were no narrow waterways.

When he built his house, he reserved nine gun emplacements near the wharf, and built the base entirely with stones mixed with glutinous rice milk.

This was five years ago, and such an island defense operation had never been encountered at all, and it was gradually forgotten, and besides, the people who knew such a layout were a few henchmen and old brothers, and the Huang family did not catch it alive, so the interrogation of the prisoners did not get this information.

Jiro Sakashima knew that his fort was built on a cliff by the sea, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he only sent a dozen arquebusiers to assist in the defense.

Arrange for the only warships in the port to line up and prepare to fight the Ming warships entering the port, if his tactics are not for the high technology of the Huang family, the enemy who comes will definitely suffer a big loss.

Because the entrance to the waterway was artificially created by him by filling bamboo baskets with large stones and sinking them, the ships entering could only come one by one, and their ships were already crossing, and the enemy should have lost their resistance by their artillery fire when they could return fire through the bottleneck.

Jiro Sakashima was in command on the island, and when he found out that the Ming army had arrived, more than a dozen warships were stranded for several days and nights and refused to retreat, and he was mentally prepared to fight a fierce battle, and immediately armed the gun emplacements hidden on the pier.

Four six-pounder and five six-pounder copper-core iron cannons were installed, and the black muzzles faced the harbor a hundred paces away, and the muzzles were camouflaged with firewood, which looked like the small doors of ordinary residents' houses.

One of the nine pirate captives who came back to persuade him to surrender was cut down by him on the spot, and the other eight immediately shut up, and they all took up arms to express their attitude, not really coming back to persuade the second master to surrender, but tricking the Ming army into escaping back to participate in the battle to defend Xiaoyi Island.

Jiro Sakashima killed people to tell everyone on the island that he was determined to defend the island, and seeing that everyone had no intention of surrendering, he let the eight people go and let them go on the ship to continue to serve as gunners, because he arranged the most confidant gunner to the gun position of the six-pounder copper-core iron cannon.

He even had a whimsical idea that if the Ming army came in, their commander was not mentally prepared and recklessly prepared to go ashore, maybe he would kill the Ming army's chief general and many officers with a round of artillery fire, and it was possible to turn defeat into victory.

The Ming army attacked an hour later, the artillery fire was so strong that a battery that looked at the island was killed and wounded, and the four wounded gunners fled back to report the tragic situation on the fort in detail.
