The range of artillery far exceeded all the means of attack currently at the hands of the Japanese, and in the face of such an attack, the Persian generals had no choice but to quickly order dodge.

While ordering people to open artillery bombardment, Li Wei looked at these widows on the shore and immediately smiled when he saw them fleeing in all directions.

It would have been difficult for the sailors to land, but now it is much easier to have artillery cover.

However, the damage of solid bullets was limited after all, and although the Japanese were frightened and harassed for a while, they did not damage much.

Li Wei continued to fire the cannon while ordering people to step forward to explore the way.

Ironclad ships are huge, and in order to avoid running aground, they must carefully explore the depth of the water.

The coast of the Wa Kingdom is tortuous, and the sea area where they are located at this time is called the Whale Sea, and the water is very deep, so the surrounding areas of the Wa coast are mostly natural excellent ports, which is very beneficial to the Ming army sailors.

Sure enough, the man sent to explore the way soon came back to report that he had found a place for the giant ship to dock.

Li Wei immediately ordered a halt to the shelling and approached the deep water.

Seeing that the artillery fire had stopped, the Persian righteous general immediately rushed to the shore with his men and ordered a bow and arrow array to aim at the sailors approaching the Ming army.

Seeing this, Li Wei sneered, and after entering the range of the flowering shell, he immediately ordered the cannon to be fired again, and the side of the ship was also full of soldiers who shot at the Japanese people below, and the Japanese casualties increased in an instant.

The Persian righteous generals were horrified in their hearts, they hadn't touched a single hair of the Ming army, and the number of casualties was almost more than a thousand, so what was it for?

Although they have the advantage in numbers, but looking at the power of the Ming army's firearms, they may have little hope of winning!

As the sound of guns and cannons continued to sound, some of them continued to fall, and some of them tried their best to bend their bows and shoot arrows at the ships of the Ming army, but the distance of hundreds of paces and the hull as high as several zhang were too high for them to reach even if they used their strength to feed.

Seeing that there were more and more casualties on their side, Tian Shanman's face turned pale, and he said to the Persian general: "Why don't we withdraw first?" ”

"No! If we withdraw and they land smoothly, we will have no power to resist! ”

The Persian general gritted his teeth.

In fact, he was also very entangled, but the half-crossing attack was their only advantage, and if they gave up, they would have to retreat to Kyoto.

"But it's not a way to just get beaten like this!" Tianshan Manjia Road.

At this time, the Japanese people could only be beaten passively, and their hearts were already fluctuating, and some people began to retreat.

The Persian righteous general thought about it, but still insisted strongly: "Then let the overseer team go, whoever dares to retreat and kill!" ”

Tian Shan was stunned and sighed, but he could only follow what he said first.

On the boat, Li Wei couldn't help frowning when he saw that the Japanese people on the shore could barely hold on under the artillery fire.

"Master Hou, we don't have much ammunition, let the soldiers charge ashore, right?"

Lu Tang came to his side and whispered.

They don't have much ammunition in the first place, and if they spend too much ammunition here, it will be dangerous if the baggage is not delivered in time after landing.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Keep banging, I want to see how long these widows can last!" ”

If he forcibly landed at this time, the casualties of the Ming army would definitely be very large, but he still decided to try to defeat these Japanese people with artillery fire first.

As for the ammunition, according to his calculations, Wang Jinghong should arrive in less than two days, and naturally there will be no such worries at that time!

Lu Tang hesitated for a moment, and seeing that his attitude was resolute, he could only continue to carry out the order.

In the sound of gunfire, the Japanese saw that the return fire was ineffective, so they could only bow down and look around for a place to hide, but there were so many of them, there was nowhere to hide, whenever the cannon sounded, there was a piece of Japanese flesh and blood blurred fallen, and the continuous gunfire continued to take away the lives of their companions.

These widows looked at the dwindling companions around them, and their hearts suddenly became more and more panicked.

The overseers sent by the Persian generals worked, but they didn't last long, and as the casualties increased, the Japanese people could not hold on after all, and began to show signs of collapse.

This is not a battle at all, this is a one-sided slaughter, they can bravely fight the enemy, but they can't stand here and be a live target!

Tian Shan Manjia reminded him again, and when General Persian saw this, he could only reluctantly agree to retreat.

Seeing the retreat of the Japanese people, Li Wei was overjoyed and immediately ordered the whole army to land.

The landing operation, which had been rehearsed countless times, began again, the hatch opened, and the small boats and bamboo rafts came out together, rushing towards the shore.

Not far from the shore, the Persian generals kept an eye on these Ming troops.

Although they retreated, he did not completely give up blocking, now that the Ming army has begun to land, they only need to quickly rush over and fight with them, so they don't have to worry about the artillery on the ship, and the Ming army can't even bombard and kill their own people.

Hu Hai and Guo Ying, as well as Shi Jun and others landed with men and horses, and as soon as they stepped on the shallows, the Japanese people came up again.

However, they were also prepared, using muskets to cover each other, while Hu Hai and Guo Ying led the Ming army with cold weapons to block the front, and soon killed the Japanese people.

After a series of victories, the morale of the current Ming army is much stronger than that of the Japanese people, even if they also use cold weapons, the Ming army is much stronger than the Japanese people, not to mention the muskets.

The two armies fought together, and at first the Japanese were able to gain the upper hand with the advantage of half a crossing, but as the Ming army landed more and more, they gradually lost the enemy, and the killed retreated.

The Persian general shook his fist in disappointment, and it seemed that it was impossible to stop the Ming army here.

"Hey, retreat, go back to Kyoto!"

Seeing his own heavy casualties, the Persian righteous general could only helplessly.

Tian Shan Manjia had already intended this, and when he heard his words, he immediately nodded in agreement and ordered the whole army to retreat.

These soldiers and horses were the last garrison force in Kyoto, and by now, the number of their dead and wounded had approached 10,000, and if they continued to lose, Kyoto would not be able to defend it.

When the order was given, the Japanese ran away, but under the fire of muskets, there were countless casualties.

Seeing that he had finally repelled the Japanese people, Li Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Tang: "Count the ammunition, some people are left on the ship, and everyone else will get off the boat and camp!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Tang answered.

After Li Wei gave the order, he also took a few guards off the boat and came to the shore.

Hu Hai, Guo Ying and others first counted the casualties and cleaned up the battlefield, and then found a place to set up camp.

In Li Wei's tent, all the generals gathered and briefly discussed the next battle.

"When are we going to attack Kyoto?" Hu Hai asked with some excitement.

Li Wei smiled lightly: "Don't worry, our baggage is insufficient, I have secretly believed that the Ming Sheng, it is estimated that it will be sent here in two days, and when the baggage arrives, we will attack Kyoto!" ”

In fact, they are not short of food and grass, mainly ammunition, without ammunition, they are afraid that they will not be able to quickly conquer the Kyoto of the Japanese Kingdom, and then they will be in danger because of the lone army, and now they are stationed on the shore to defend, in case the Japanese gather troops to attack again, they can immediately evacuate by boat even if they are defeated.
