In that room, after destroying the Five Islands Navy, the punishment fleet slowly approached Jiangchuan City and anchored a hundred meters away from the pier, without any intention of shore.

The reason why I don’t dock is that I don’t touch the water and am afraid of being stranded. Once such a large warship is stranded, it will be a big trouble.

Then, keep a safe distance and go too far to ensure that the Japanese cannons can cause any losses. The former soldiers of the Qi family have seen that the Japanese bows and arrows are still very powerful. As long as a distance of more than one hundred meters, no matter their "iron cannons" or bows and arrows, they cannot cause harm. The Three Emperor cannons of the Coast Guards and even the Folang machine can easily kill people and animals two hundred meters away, which is so easy.

Wang Rulong held his arms and looked indifferently at the old, weak, women and children in panic in the villages and towns outside the city.

The space resources in Jiangchuan City are limited. In order to reduce the burden, only men can go into the city to defend the city, and at most a part of young and strong women will be accepted to cook for the defenders and act as porters. The elderly, weak and weak women and children who are regarded as burdens can only escape to the mountains and hide, begging for the battle to end soon. Otherwise, they will all starve to death and freeze to death in the mountains.

In fact, he could order artillery to hunt down these women and children, but on the one hand, the battle was still long and had to save ammunition. Secondly, whether it was General Qi or Mr. Zhao, it was strictly forbidden to kill women and children indiscriminately, believing that this would make the army lose its humanity - a beast army would eventually retaliate against its master.

The young master was even more serious than the Grand Marshal. The general was never merciless to the Japanese pirates and the young and strong who followed the thief, but the young master hoped to capture prisoners as much as possible, and then convicted them, and serve lifelong hard labor for the Jiangnan Group. Perhaps this is the difference between pure soldiers and...

He found that he could not define the man, Gongzi, a businessman, a strategist, a scientist, a man who wanted to be One Piece?

Wang Rulong smiled bitterly and shook his head, forget it, don’t think about it anymore, just follow the footsteps of the young master.

~~

At this time, the suspension bridge in Jiangchuan City slowly rose, indicating that everyone who was about to enter the city had entered. Wang Rulong waved his hand and ordered the city gate to be destroyed first.

Jiangchuan City is 300 meters away from the fleet, Hong Xi's range is too short, Xuande's power is too small, and Yongle cannon is the most suitable.

On the 203 ship facing Jiangchuan City, ten Yongle cannons on the starboard side fired a salvo, all hitting the stone walls of the city wall, and even a single shell was not hit by the suspension bridge.

The neighboring ship burst into laughter, which made Captain Rong Sheng of 202 so angry that his face looked like frost. The starboard gunners immediately fell into the refrigerator, and their bodies were full of cold.

"Come again!" He hugged his arms and glared at the group of unscrupulous things. "It's only three hundred meters, I can't beat you all!"

The gunners were all scared. It was terrible to remember the demerits. Once they remembered the promotion that year, they were defeated, twice they were demoted, and three times they had to get off the boat!

In the second round of artillery fire, we were careful to aim. No one dared to shoot, nor did we dare to play a huge volley.

In fact, simple sights are installed on the cannons, and you can aim at this distance. Just a swaying deck will cause the gun to sway up and down. Although the amplitude is not large, the shells are far away from flying a few hundred meters away.

Just now, I was affected by the waves and all of them hit high...

This time they fired one by one, and the hit rate was much better. They hit five shots in ten shots.

The Yongle cannon was very powerful. One shell hit the suspension bridge and smashed the thick suspension bridge into a big hole. The five cannons came down, and the suspension bridge was split into pieces and fell into the water bore outside the city... that is, the moat.

"Nani?" Yujiu Chunyao on Tianshou Pavilion was stunned. The most important thing in the battle of the cage city was to compete for the city gate? The Ming Dynasty people smashed the suspension bridge, how could they still attack the city? Have they swam past Mizuho?

Foots who were busy transporting the equipment to guard the city also stopped. Even fools could see that the Ming Dynasty people did not intend to attack the city directly. So what's the use of getting a bunch of rolling stones and snatching the wood?

"Do they want to siege us?" Yujiu Xuanya guessed: "Because there are too few troops, I have to come up with this bad plan?"

"It's possible." The young master nodded and said to the family: "Count the supplies and see how long we can last."

Before he finished speaking, he heard shrill sounds outside.

"They want to release the firebirds and attack the city with fire!" Yu Jiu Xuanya heard the sound and said in two battles: "The people of the Ming Dynasty used this kind of monster to burn our warships!"

"Ah?" Yujiu Chunyao looked outside, but couldn't help laughing. It turned out that none of the divine fire flying crows released by the Ming Dynasty could fly into the castle. Some of them hit the stone wall, and some fell into Mizuhori.

"Hahaha, what kind of firebird is just a fake bird woven with straw, it can't fly very high!" Chun Yao's proud tail was about to go to the sky.

~~

The captains on the opposite side were not very good-looking, and the Divine Fire Flying Crow was still too stupid to do anything about such a tall castle.

"Swap the rocket!" The captains ordered in a deep voice that the Marines responsible for releasing the firearms quickly put all the Divine Fire Crows into the iron box in accordance with safety regulations, carried them down the deck, and carried them back to the tarpaulin bags.

When I opened the tarpaulin bag, there were rockets with arrows that were more than 5 feet long and attached with gunpowder cartridges. This was also a long-range firearm equipped by the Qi family army, and the Japanese pirates were frightened when they saw it.

The Marines placed the rockets on a special iron rack, aimed at the direction of Jiangchuan City, and lit the leads. Rockets roared and flew towards the city.

"Damn it, Congrive Rocket!" On the flagship, Mr. Zhao, who saw this scene, couldn't help but scream and slapped his nephew's thigh hard.

"What 'carry a beautiful lady'?" the eldest nephew asked with a grin.

"It's okay, I said Sanskrit, which means this rocket is very rude." Mr. Zhao responded to his nephew's words, and then he thought of the prototype of the famous Kangliff Rocket. Isn't it the Rocket invented by the Song Dynasty?

Although the Ming Dynasty rockets were obviously not as fierce as the Kangliff rockets in the early 19th century, they were not comparable to those of the Japanese who wrapped the arrows with a tart cloth, lit up and shot them with a large bow, and could not fly dozens of meters.

This was propelled with gunpowder, and its aerodynamic shape was much stronger than the Divine Fire Crow. Within such a short distance, the Daming Rockets could easily cross the Ishigaki. Although most of the rockets didn't know where to fly, only a small part could fall into the city, it was enough to cause a fire!

Who makes Japan like to build houses with wood so much? Although the fire protection outside the castle is good, the inside is full of wooden castle houses, and there are also piles of food and grass everywhere... They were all transported in from outside the city.

After a while, thick black smoke rose from Jiangchuan City. The city lord didn't bother to look at the fresh things outside the city, and fanned and shouted to put out the fire.

Seeing the fire in the city, the Marines were greatly energetic. Now they could finally be proud and let the gunners who were looking down on the eyes. They continued to work hard and continued to release the rockets. The sound of breaking through the air continued, and more and more rockets flew into Jiangchuan City, causing fires everywhere.

Many rockets fell in villages and towns outside the city, and the Japanese wooden houses were even more visible, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing that the "useless ship passengers" were so arrogant, the gunners were naturally unwilling to fall behind. They raised their guns and bombarded Jiangchuan City with red and fire bombs.

Since Chu Liuxiang used the red fire to pop up, the gunners' fear of this "braised iron ball" has greatly reduced. In addition, the furnace and iron pliers have improved and become safer. More and more gunners have begun to choose to use this kind of killer to attack.

The iron stoves responsible for heating iron balls are starting to be in short supply.

The burning iron bombs were fired out, directly smashing the Tianshou and the roof in the city, falling into the building, causing a fire in one place.

In the end, it was not known whether it was the rocket or the red fire bomb that ignited the barn in the city. The fire soared into the sky and could no longer be extinguished. It was the dry weather and the west wind was strong, and the fire spread rapidly, and the entire Jiangchuan City turned into a big brazier.

In the fire, thick smoke rolled into the sky with ashes and floated to the east...

~~

Jiangchuan City has become a purgatory on earth, and people covered in fire are screaming everywhere. The rest of them are scared and dare not stay in the city. They quickly escape from the only city gate and then stop.

The suspension bridge is broken, how can I cross the river?

Someone shouted loudly, raised the white flag and knelt on his knees to surrender.

But an order was issued before the war, and this is a battle to establish authority, kill the chicken to warn the monkey, and do not capture prisoners!

So, the 203 guns at the city gate opened fire without mercy. The Japanese pirates who rushed out of the shells directly fired a candied haws. They killed more than ten people in one shot!

The Japanese pirates either waited in the city to be burned to death, or rushed to the gate and were killed by cannons. Their desperate cries even overwhelmed the roar of cannons and reached the ears of the coast guards.

However, no one will pity them.

Since the Japanese turmoil in Jiajing, these Japanese naval pirates have frequently invaded the Ming Dynasty and have been violated by them from Liaodong to Fujian. Especially in the Jiangnan area where the Japanese turmoil is the most serious, almost every household has died at the hands of Japanese pirates. For twenty years, they have committed crimes of burning, killing, rape, abusing, and abusing! Pitying them is a betrayal of their ancestors and an accomplice of their sins!

In the end, the entire Jiangchuan City collapsed in a blazing fire. Ujiu Chunyao, the head of the Ujiu family, and his younger brother Ujiu Hyuna and more than ten family elders, collectively took a caesarean section in the Tianshou Pavilion, and once again perfectly interpreted what the spirit of the Bushido is.

It hurts so much to be burned to death, how easy it is to commit suicide, cut the fan, it is painless, there is no feeling at all, and it passes in one go...

In the end, more than 2,000 people in the city escaped, and only more than 100 lucky people. They avoided the artillery fire, swam across the water bore, and stumbled into the mountains.

Wang Rulong did not order the pursuit, so he asked them to be voluntary propagandists and spread the power of the Ming coast guard throughout Jiuzhou!
