"King, King!" The call of the princes awakened Shang Yuan. "What should we do?"

Yes, what should I do... Shang Yuan tasted a little bitterness at the corner of his mouth. The other party's warships were so much larger than his own, and the most deadly thing was that there were too many cannons.

Although there are many ships on our side, there are surprisingly few cannons.

Ryukyu does not produce iron, and all iron tools are imported, so the price of iron tools is ten times that of the Ming Dynasty. Those unscrupulous Folangji merchants even sold inferior iron cannons to sky-high prices.

The Ryukyu Kingdom gritted its teeth and bought a few doors, and only installed them on the fortress. The city tower was used for defense, and there were not many doors on the ship at all. The expensive ones were secondly, mainly because, on the first part, the structure of the galley, and the cannon position could only be set at the bow; secondly, due to the lack of iron, Ryukyu mainly used wooden nails and mortise and tenon structures to build ships, and iron nails and shovels were rarely used to reinforce them, so the hull was difficult to withstand the recoil force brought by the cannon.

Therefore, there were only a dozen tribute tributes on the fifty boats, plus dozens of Filang machines, which was the entire firepower of the Ryukyu navy.

Shang Yuan just counted the number, and the other party's three largest sailboats had more gun positions than this number...

The firepower gap is too great, so he has to be too strong to hit him head-on?

"King, the last general is willing to lead half of the warships to disperse them and open the way for the unified ships of the three mountains!" As the commander of the navy, Xie Liting had to bite the bullet and express his opinion: "Fifty to thirty-three, the advantage lies in me..."

As if to make him beat him up, the fleet opposite suddenly launched a volley.

This round of volleys was actually used to correct the shooting, but amid the earth-shaking rumbling cannons, the water column like a clump of jade forest on the sea soared into the sky, and then turned into a rush of rain and fell down.

It also brought the fighting spirit of the Ryukyu naval officers and soldiers without a trace.

"..." Xie Liting also turned pale, and he didn't dare to say anything to show off his power.

"Master, let's retreat to the shore first. It's too dangerous on the sea!" Ma Deshun suddenly said, "I think there are only a thousand people on the shore at most. We have three thousand royal soldiers and bird guns, which are enough to repel them."

"Well..." King Shang Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, and Fang nodded with difficulty. What the Ma Qing family said was right. It was too dangerous at sea. Under the fierce artillery fire of the other party, he was really going to die in the sky.

Ma Deshun immediately asked Xie Liting to take the warships of the left and right government soldiers to sail to the north and south ends of the dock, so that the enemies on the shore could lose sight of each other.

The call of "Roat to the shore!" came one after another, passing on the boats.

Not to mention, the paddling boat is more flexible than the sailing warship and is less susceptible to the influence of wind and waves. Soon, Ryukyu warships rowed white trajectories on the sea surface, turning their bows toward the shore.

"Captain, they are going to escape to the shore!" On the 102nd ship, Xiao Ya, deputy captain, put down his telescope and shouted anxiously to Haierdi.

"Don't have to be so loud, I'll see it." Haierdi looked at the Ryukyu fleet turning expressionlessly, but did not issue an order.

"Don't we chase after you?" Xiao Ya said anxiously.

"There are marines on the shore, why are you anxious?" Haierdi said lightly.

"That's why I'm anxious." Xiao Ya whispered: "It's easy to wait for a battle, and the limelight will be snatched away by them."

"Hahaha, don't worry, there are some wars this time, and you must be vomited." Haierdi then smiled slightly and said, "Let's leave the limelight for the Marines this time."

He knew that he could still order a unified order in this way. But once he ordered an advance, each ship would have to fight on his own. The captains were like Xiao Ya, like a long-lasting woman. Who could stop in the battle? If a person accidentally shot the King of Zhongshan to death, the fun would be great...

So let the Marines use their Longqing style to teach the disobedient Ryukyu people a lesson.

~~

On the shore, Wu Da stepped on the big rock with one foot, staring at the Ryukyu warship that was turning around with joy.

"Old Pan, they are going to surround the docks." Then he happily turned back to the police commissioner of the team and said, "Let's put them ashore first, in case they fired fire from the ship."

"Well, I'm queuing and shooting it. Of course, I'll wait until they line up before shooting it." Pan Jinlian, a police commissioner of the First Brigade of Land War, was a clean police officer. It is said that he had passed the exam for Tong Sheng. Although he had a minor problem of losing his book bags, the two of them cooperated well.

"I confirmed during the reconnaissance just now that the ship can only reach 100 meters near the shore." Ximen Qing came up and said, "The largest firearm on the ship is Dafagong, with a range of 500 meters."

"Well, then line up four hundred meters on the shore." Wuda nodded and said to Pan Jinlian: "We each lead two squadrons, I'll go to the south, you go to the north."

Then he turned around and said to Ximen Qing: "Your squadron stays here and serves as a reserve team."

"Don't let it go, we have fed mosquitoes all night..." Ximen Qing was anxious.

"Who didn't feed mosquitoes all night?" Wu Da glared at him and said, "This is a battlefield, not a vegetable market where you bargain!"

"Yes!" Ximen Qing had no choice but to accept the order in grievance.

"Don't do this." Pan Jin patted Ximen Qing on the shoulder and said, "You have worked hard to investigate, and you must reward the squadron in terms of merit."

After saying that, he said loudly: "Three and Fourth Squadrons, run!"

The Marines of the Third and Fourth Squadrons carried guns and lined up with the police commissioner to run.

The drummers from the two squadrons neatly beat the small drum hanging around their waists.

The rhythm was clear and inspiring drums, commanding the landers to line up and step forward with the drum beats.

"Who are we talking about it?" As the drum beats, Pan Jinlian walked side by side with the police officers on the front line, cheering up morale loudly.

"The Marines' hero!" The Marines stepped forward and responded in unison.

"What's the temper of a Marine?"

"If you don't accept life and death, do it if you don't accept it!" The Marines shouted loudly.

"How to do it?"

"Fight bravely, fight thousands of enemies!" The majestic and neat roar was almost at the moment when the artillery fired.

"Go ahead and stand firm!" Walking until four hundred meters away from the beach, Pan Jinlian selected a certain path for the enemy to land before ordering the enemy to line up.

Four hundred Marines were divided into two rows, forming two rows of two hundred people, like wolves that were chosen to devour people, and were viciously watching the small sampans heading towards the beach.

No matter how superior the conditions of this natural harbor are, it is impossible to let the large ship dock. Therefore, in the last two hundred meters, you still have to change to a sampan.

After unloading the soldiers on the large ship behind the sampan, Dafagong and Furang began to shoot.

The shells roared over the heads of Ryukyu soldiers and landed on the beach in front of the two armies, splashing high sand and dust.

However, the Marines were still standing upright and indifferent. The queuing was based on supreme courage. Once the lines were lined up, only death could make them retreat. Any move of retreating or even dodging would be regarded as a timid deserter and severely punished!

Under the cover of sparse artillery fire or courage, Ryukyu soldiers jumped off the sampan, waded onto the shore of Shanghai, and then began to complete the team.

This made Ma Deshun, who was supervising the formation on the ship, breathed a sigh of relief. He was most worried that the other party would play a half-ferry attack while his side landed, which would have been too great a damage.

However, in order to avoid shelling, the enemy chose to line up outside the range of artillery fire, wasting this fleeting golden opportunity.

"I am so greedy and fearful of death, I am definitely not an elite." Ma De put on a shed, looked at the thin blue line line line lined on the shore, and said more disdainfully: "Is this a long snake array? It's inappropriate!"

The general beside him hurriedly said, "What do you say about this sir?"

"The Celestial Chronicle military book says that the key to the long snake formation of a character lies in the cavalry on both wings. Without cavalry mobility, relying on the two legs of the infantry alone is just a dead snake." Ma Deshun said with a very understanding look: "What else is there to bother with dealing with a dead snake? Send the order and attack it in sections so that its head and tail cannot echo each other! Then use its superior forces to surround and annihilate it!"

"Yes!" The general responded and was about to send an order.

"Wait." Ma Deshun called the man again and said, "If they surrender, they will stop attacking. After all, it will be a person from the Celestial Empire. If they kill too much, they will affect the tribute in the future."

"Yes!" The general looked full of admiration and thought to himself that Lord Ma was really a conspiracy in the country.

~~

After landing for a while, the 1,000 Ryukyu troops were divided into three teams, waving weapons under the general's drive, and pounced towards the thin blue line with its teeth and claws.

Pan Jinlian stood in the front row and ordered in a deep voice: "Prepare for shooting!"

The two squadron leaders blew a short whistle.

The policemen skillfully raised their guns, opened the Longqing-style medicine pot, pulled out a paper-shell bullet from the waterproof bullet belt on their chest, bite the back shell, poured the gunpowder into the medicine pot, closed the cover of the medicine pool, and then used a strip to send the bullet into the gun chamber to compact it, and pulled out the strip to stand by.

The entire process took only six to eight seconds, and after eight seconds, all the Longqing poses were ready for shooting. This was the result of hard training day after day. Even the new Marines had undergone at least five thousand repeated loading practices.

The purpose of the exercise is to carve every step into the muscles of the team members and turn it into a completely subconscious action. In this way, no matter what situation you face on the battlefield, the movements will not be deformed, and the loading will not be correct and not slow down. This is the guarantee of the firepower output of queuing and shooting.

But Pan Jinlian did not immediately order the shooting, but watched the Ryukyu soldiers who were several times more than him approaching 300 meters and 200 meters...

The Ryukyu people on the opposite side have even started shooting with the bird guns in their hands. Although most of the bullets don’t know where to fly, several bullets have hit the Marines in the front row. The team members fell down with a humming hum and were immediately pulled away by the medical staff.

Pan Jinlian was still indifferent, and the coast guard team members remained motionless.

It was not until the distance between the two sides reached one hundred meters that he ordered in a deep voice: "Aim!"

The Marines raised the Longqing style in their hands, with the front row kneeling and the back row standing, with muzzles as if they were like a forest, pointing at the enemy soldiers close at hand, then they pulled the hammer away.

Seeing that the enemy was approaching ninety meters, eighty meters, and seventy meters, the whistle of ordering to shoot finally rang out.
Chapter completed!
