Chapter 585

"Dang!" A spark suddenly appeared on the bow of the Zhiyuan ship, and when the sea breeze blew away the gunsmoke, people were surprised to find that the thick pure steel impact angle was actually blown up like a twisted flower.

"!" Li Xiu was shocked, he didn't expect the artillery fire on the shore to be so sharp. With such great power, it is definitely not the original Furlong cannon. If it is a shell from a Furlong cannon, it will be bounced straight out.

Who are the people on the island?

"Cast a hot air balloon!" Li Xiu gave an order, and the hot air balloon that was supposed to rise before the war took off.

The hot air balloon needs to be filled with hot air for liftoff, and the process takes about more than an hour. Li Xiu was unwilling to wait for more than an hour before he fell into the passivity he is now.

Smoke from the flaming five-masted ship obscured almost the entire Temasek Marina.

The flat-headed ship was riddled with shells, and the upper building was almost destroyed. The deck was littered with corpses, blood sticky and slippery. Everywhere there were wailing people, and the samurai of the Wa Kingdom were struggling in pools of blood. The living man lay on the deck, holding a flintlock pistol in his hand and shooting into the jungle.

As for whether it can hit anyone, only God knows.

The two flat-headed boats finally docked, and the Japanese samurai rushed off the ship with a howl.

"Shelling! Shelling the jungle facing the pier! A signal came from the hot air balloon at a high place, and Li Xiu immediately ordered the artillery to shoot into the jungle.

According to Li Xiu's experience, there must have been an observation post of enemy artillery at the edge of the jungle. In order to pass the message to the artillery positions as soon as possible, then the artillery positions will definitely not be too far away.

"Rocket artillery cover shot!" The adjutant was about to give an order, and Li Xiu suddenly said something.

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and the rockets covered the fire. This will consume a lot of ammunition, and once the ammunition is gone, you will have to go to Guangzhou to resupply.

"Do you want me to repeat it again?" Li Xiu looked at the adjutant with sharp eyes.

"No!" The adjutant hurriedly went out to give orders.

With the signal man's flag, the arsenal ship drove up. Twelve twin-mounted rocket launchers raised their barrels, and the herald gave the order to start firing. The arsenal ship was immediately plunged into a cloud of smoke, and the hull of the ship slid backwards sharply. Even the side of the ship began to tilt!

Heavy rockets crashed into the jungle with a whistling sound, and countless vegetation and dirt were lifted into the air. Huge explosions came and went, shockwaves overlapped, and the whole of Temasek trembled through the telescope.

Countless pillars of smoke converged into a huge pillar of smoke, connecting from the ground to the sky, which is the real Yellow Spring. The shock wave formed a huge gust of wind, and Li Xiu felt that the glass of Jianqiao was about to melt away for miles.

The heat twisted and steamed, tangled together like twisted flowers, igniting everything that could burn.

Some people were blown up by the shock wave and fell into the sea, and some were shocked to death by the huge explosion. In just an instant, nearly a thousand casualties were caused.

Listening to the news from the hot air balloon, Li Xiu's brows twisted into a Sichuan character. He knew the power of the rocket, and although it could be called powerful, it could ...... It doesn't seem to be that big.

The angle had already been calculated when shooting, and the nearest bombing point was a mile away. How could it inflict such great damage on the landing force, that even the building of the flat-bottomed ship was broken and torn to pieces by the impact?

"Second master! Do you think there's something in that place? Chen Laohu came over with a thief's head.

"Martyrdom? You mean...... They also have rocket artillery, and they are in standby state? The suspicion in his heart was spoken, and Li Xiu's heart sank.

If it's a bit of a mortar, or maybe it's a long-barreled gun, it's better. If there is rocket artillery, it is different. This thing hits the surface light, and a single round of fire can cover a large area.

Although the landing fleet is scattered, if it is bombarded with rockets, maybe one or two will hit the target. Even an ironclad ship like Zhiyuan is not a joke when it is hit by a heavy rocket, let alone those wooden sail warships. As long as one shot is fired, the power of the explosion can directly turn the warship into chopping wood.

If that's the case, the fleet led by himself can be regarded as having escaped. The enemy was trying to lure the warship closer to the coast and then inflict heavy damage with a volley of rockets. As for the Japanese samurai who landed, they didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Bring me Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo." Li Xiu held up the binoculars and looked at it, and the entire Temasek Terminal was already in a sea of fire. It is estimated that few of the Japanese samurai who landed successfully survived.

After a while, Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo came to Li Xiu's flagship in a small boat.

"Time is pressing, so don't say much. Immediately you took your troops and moved ten miles to the east and ten miles to the west. And land there! The Japanese will land in front of Temasek Pier, and you will meet here! Li Xiu made a gesture of clasping his hands.

"No!" After repeated fierce battles, Li Dingguo and Zuo Liangyu couldn't bear it for a long time. Now seeing Li Xiu's gesture, he immediately became excited. It's about casting a net and proving that Temasek has a tough fight.

A soldier's helmet is dyed with human blood, and military merit is the only criterion for judging the value of a soldier.

Now that there are military merits to be gained, these two people are naturally happy.

"Beware, the enemy is supposed to be the yellow-haired people from Europa. Their weapons are similar to ours, and I am here to send the Wa people to attract their attention from the front. You have to get behind enemy lines quickly, remember to catch a few tongues, I want to know who they are, how they can have the same weapons as us. ”

"No! Second master, don't worry, you must have fought a good battle. The two men saluted in unison, disembarked and got out of the boat.

"The hot air balloon moves forward and carefully observes the enemy's movements."

"No!"

Tokugawa Haruaki's heart was bleeding, and it hadn't been a morning yet. The Japanese army lost more than 1,800 people, not without a tragic battle, but this battle was too tragic. No wonder Li Xiao would give such a big benefit to the Wa Kingdom, and his mother's benefits are all filled in with human lives.

Li Xiu's order came again, and the Japanese continued to attack Temasek Terminal.

Today, Temasek Terminal is completely submerged in smoke. Even along the pier, vegetation burned within five miles. The smoke and dust obscured the sky, and the hot air balloon in front of it could not be seen clearly, what was the situation on the pier.

Mori Kogoro carried a katana in his hand, and there were only a hundred and ten men left by his side. In the explosion just now, the shock wave directly blew away the battered shipbuilding. Fortunately, however, the ship built by the Mori family was still sturdy, and the hull was not damaged like the Tokugawa family's ship.

With the remnants of his men, Kogoro Maori boarded Temasek Pier.

Burning stones, charred corpses, billowing smoke from coconut trees, the scene in front of you is like hell. There are no living people, no living creatures to be exact. The big explosion just now, even the seagulls in the sky were not spared. There were many carcasses of seagulls floating on the surface of the sea, and there were even fish that had been blown ashore on the beach.

After a difficult march of more than a mile, Mori Kogoro came across a wall made of stone. It is estimated that it was just hidden in the jungle, and it was completely invisible outside.

Behind the wall were hundreds of corpses, all Europa yellow-haired people. Only a few corpses were charred, and many more were bleeding, and at a glance it was clear that they had been shocked to death. Walking a little deeper along the stone walls, Kogoro Mori even saw the stone bunkers.

There were only a few shooting holes in the bunker, and there was not a single sound inside.

With a wave of his hand, his men rushed in.

There was no sound of fighting or resistance, and Mori Kogoro followed in.

The people inside were the same as the outside, staring at the big eyes, and there was blood flowing out of the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, and they looked very terrible.

The guns of these men aroused the interest of Kogoro Mori, which was a gun he had never seen before. It is somewhat similar to the guns used by the Ming people, but it is not exactly the same. He picked up the gun and gestured, and pulled the trigger on the stone wall in the distance.

"Bang!" A puff of smoke came out of the wall, and when I walked over, I realized that the bullet had actually been driven into the stone. Lying on your stomach and looking out at the shooting hole, the whole beach is within shooting range. If you land on your own just now, you will definitely be beaten into a sieve by bullets. Pulling the bolt to exit the cartridge case, Mori Kogoro examined it and found that there was a yellow bullet pressed inside.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Mori Kogoro picked up a gun and instructed his men, "Pick up their guns and turn over the bullets on them." ”

Mori Kogoro had seen the guns of the Ming people and knew that their bullets were fixed ammunition, and as long as they were stuffed into the magazine, they could be fired continuously. This is a good thing, and there are no such firearms in the entire Wa country.

This is cheap, and it must not be taken advantage of by those people of the Tokugawa family.

When the men heard the order, they picked up the guns next to the corpses. Although the men were all shocked to death, most of the firearms were unharmed. On the corpse, a lot of bullets were turned out. Everyone carried dozens of rounds, and their waists fell heavily in a panic.

Continuing deeper with his men, Kogoro Mori spotted a mortar position.

More than two dozen mortars staggered, and there were still mortar shells on the ground that had not exploded. Mori Kogoro was ecstatic, mortars were a good thing. The Wa Kingdom bought this kind of iron pipe in Daming, and it was a big price. Looking at this cannon, it seems to be lighter than the Ming people.

Excited, Kogoro Mori immediately ordered the mortars to be collected and all the shells that did not explode were collected. With more than thirty people, he continued to move forward.

A few dozen meters further forward is the pipe artillery position. This kind of thing with a long cannon barrel is the main culprit who destroyed the building of his own warship. Maori Kogoro has never seen this kind of pipe cannon, and it seems that there are no Ming people. It's pretty much the same on that kind of ironclad warship, but the barrel is much thicker than this.

The artillery positions were miserable, and only two or three of the ten guns were intact. It was still half-buried in the soil, and there was a big pit next to it, which was more than one person deep. It is estimated that a rocket was smashed here and exploded.

The gunners died worse than those men, and several were interrupted by shrapnel. If you touch it with a katana, your fingers will move slightly. The uncle has human legs hanging on it, and intestines are spread on the grass. The half-headed man was lying on the gun wheel, and his brains were thrown far away. After looking at it carefully for a long time, Mori Kogoro and his men couldn't find a single one who could breathe.

The more Maori Kogoro walked, the more furious his heart became, and he really picked up a life just now. If it weren't for the rockets fired from the warship, he would have been shattered to pieces by artillery shells. With a curious heart, he continued to walk inside with his men as if he were exploring.

After walking a mile or so, everyone stood still. They stood dumbfounded like clay sculptures, unable to believe their eyes.

In front of me was a huge crater, conservatively estimated to be five or six meters deep. The radius is more than 100 meters, and it is so black that you can't even see a single weed. Occasionally, you can see some scraps of metal, but you can't tell what it is.

Corpse......! I didn't see it, let alone a human corpse. Not even a single carcass of a bird! There is only one strange pit in the ground, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to bury thousands of people.

Mori Kogoro finally didn't dare to move on, and there was a dense jungle in front of him. God knows what awaits him there, just these hundred or so people, or occupy the docks and look at the spoils. This is the spoils of the Mori family, and the Tokugawa family can't be allowed to take advantage of it.

"Quickly hide all these cannons in the woods over there, and put all the guns in the woods over there. Also, collect bullets from corpses. Don't miss a single pill! Back at the dock, Kogoro Mori watched as people from the Tokugawa family swam ashore one after another.

He didn't care about those who were almost exhausted, he just ordered his men to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible. It's also my luck to be able to pick up so much loot. Mori Kogoro is not willing to share even a single bullet with Tokugawa Haruaki!

"Hello!" As soon as his men agreed, his head shattered like a rotten watermelon.

Almost at the same time, more than a dozen Maori samurai began to bleed. Seeing his men fall, Mori Kogoro heard the sound of gunshots like popping beans.

"Shoot back!" Kogoro Mori pulled the bolt and pulled the trigger in the direction he suspected. The Maori samurai around him also took their guns and fired them indiscriminately around.

Gunfire and bullets flying. Mori Kogoro followed the example of the Ming people and lay on the ground and shot at the place where there was a muzzle flame. After a few Maori samurai died, they naturally lay on the ground and started shooting.

For a while, bullets flew wildly, and the two sides fired at each other, but no one could help anyone.

When Tokugawa Harumi landed, he heard the dense sound of gunfire in front of him. He immediately rushed forward with his men, and when he saw Maori Kogoro lying on the ground, his face covered in mud, smiling like a goose with asthma.

"Yaga!" Maori Kogoro scolded, but he didn't get up. I thought that this idiot should be scolded, and it was better to take a bullet so that he would not curse again.

Soon, a bullet knocked down Tokugawa Haruaki's guards. The bluffed Tokugawa Haruaki also fell to the ground!

"Hahaha!" Mori Kogoro pointed at the embarrassed Tokugawa Harumi and smiled like a duck about to die.
