Eastern battlefield!
Under Nancheng!
The Qin army's camps were spread out for hundreds of miles in the forest.
With the arrival of the rainy season in the past few days, the land of Beiwa was wet and muddy, which greatly hindered the Qin army's attack.
to this end! Qi Lanyin never issued a military order to attack the city. There were tens of thousands of Japanese pirates stationed outside Nancheng. Their cannons were ineffective in the rain. If they relied solely on manpower to attack, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses.
In the past day or two, the weather has finally cleared up, and the mud on the ground has become dry and hard under the scorch of the sun.
Hey drink, hey drink!
The Qin soldiers pushed the Hongyi cannon hard and advanced slowly. Thirty Hongyi cannons were lined up in a line, with their muzzles pointed at Nancheng not far away.
In addition, dozens of French cannons were quickly put into position and entered the firing range.
Boxes of artillery shells were piled up in the artillery camp, which was built very high.
This is almost all the artillery shells that Qi Lanyin brought with him when he went on the expedition.
Tens of thousands of Qin troops were arranged in small squares and advanced slowly.
At the forefront of the army was Qi Lanyin, flanked by generals Yang Wen, Wu Liang and others.
Qi Lanyin slowly lowered his raised arm. The soldiers behind him immediately stopped and lined up five hundred meters away from Nancheng.
"kill!"
A loud shout resounded through the mountains and forests.
Above Nancheng, Beibo's troops and horses were ready. It had been raining for the past few days, giving Dongbo enough time to prepare.
The Qin army stood there, feeling a sense of oppression coming towards them, and the Japanese soldiers' arms were trembling.
The Japanese soldiers were no less afraid of the Qin Army than the Restoration Army was of the Qin Army. Last time, Qi Lanyin led a large army and marched straight into Nancheng, beating them into submission. Although they were prepared this time, the Japanese soldiers felt that they would not be the opponents of the Qin army.
Once, they were a nightmare in the hearts of the people of the Wu Kingdom, but now, the Qin Army is like a devil, deeply imprinted in their hearts.
"General Furuya, do you think... can we withstand the Qin army's attack?" Yoshimura Ryoichi couldn't help but ask.
The Qin army in front of them created too many myths. Compared with them, the Japanese soldiers were as dim as the silver glow compared to the bright moon.
Furuya Shoichi's brows furrowed tightly, "Even if I die, I will never take a step back!"
He is determined to live and die with his country. If the country disappears, he will never live alone.
Yoshidamura was so moved that he held the handle of the knife tightly and said in a deep voice, "The only option is to fight to the death!"
When it comes to the destruction of the country, no one can survive alone, including them.
At this time, Qi Jiguang turned the horse's head to face the generals behind him.
"Generals, General Li Jing has captured Liuli Island and completely pacified the rebels in the south. In this battle, our army will plant the flag of Qin on the tower of the south city no matter how much it costs." Qi Jiguang then pointed towards Nancheng and said to the generals.
"Don't worry, General Qi. In this battle, we will do our best to capture Nancheng."
The generals were extremely serious, bowing and clasping their fists.
Boom, boom, boom!
The rumbling war drums sounded extremely powerful, and the entire sky was filled with the sound of the war drums.
"All artillery ready!" the artillery general shouted, and the small red flag in the orderer's hand was immediately raised.
A group of artillerymen immediately stuffed the shells into the barrel.
"preparation!"
"put!"
In an instant, the rumbling sound of cannons immediately spread throughout the sky, and cannonballs flew out like ferocious beasts.
The sharp sound of breaking wind passed by in mid-air.
The Japanese soldiers above Nancheng swallowed saliva as they looked at the cannonballs flying in the air.
"Bunker, find cover!"
The leader of the Japanese soldiers immediately shouted.
Boom boom boom!
The next second, powerful artillery shells bombarded the entire Nancheng. The violent artillery exploded instantly, like mushroom clouds, extremely gorgeous.
However, the Japanese soldiers suffered a great deal. A cannonball fell next to him, and the remaining force blew several Japanese soldiers away. Many Japanese soldiers fell from the tower.
The huge tower built on the city was also hit by several cannonballs, sawdust flying, and huge broken boards flying in the entire sky.
Shoichi Furuya and Ryoichi Yoshimura also squatted under the low wall.
This terrifying artillery is much more powerful than their artillery.
"This Qin army has the advantage of artillery, and we will suffer a big loss." The artillery shells whizzed past his ears, Yoshimura Ryoichi shouted loudly in Furuya Shoichi's ears.
Today, the Qin Army's artillery was extremely fierce. The Qin Army's attack had not yet begun. It seemed that they wanted to bomb the Japanese soldiers above the city first, and then launch a rapid attack on them.
The defense of Nancheng is not high. It looks majestic, but it is just a high imitation!
The Japanese soldiers learned only a little bit about the techniques of building cities from the Central Plains people.
Where the shells fell, bricks and stones flew away, leaving craters. The quality of the siege was not good, and the whole city seemed to be crumbling.
"Two thousand shield soldiers of the front army attack, and two thousand archers cover it."
"Attack!"
Qi Lan Yinling shouted.
After receiving the order, the Qin army immediately ran out of the military formation.
"kill!"
The first two thousand shield soldiers raised their shields and charged forward, followed closely by two thousand archers.
The Yunti Army followed the main army and launched an attack on Nancheng.
The turbulent momentum surged like a stormy sea, heading towards Nancheng.
Just now, the Qin Army's fierce artillery killed seven or eight hundred people in Nancheng in an instant. Even the artillery on the city was knocked to the ground by the Qin Army's fierce artillery.
The artillery is made of iron pulleys. Even ordinary artillery like the Japanese pirates weighs more than a ton. It is almost impossible to lift it up and put it back in its original position.
"Damn Qin Jun!"
Behind Nancheng, a spacious street was filled with dozens of artillery pieces. The person commanding the artillery troops was Fujiwara Yoshikai, the general of the East Japan.
The reason why he was so angry was that the Qin army's artillery was able to shoot into the city wall, causing him to lose several artillery pieces.
"Fight back!"
By adjusting the angle of the artillery fire, it is possible to hit the artillery shells onto the road where the Qin army is charging.
"put!"
Bang bang bang!
The lingering smoke curled up in the air.
The Japanese pirates' cannonballs were also fired at the Qin army.
The Qin soldiers holding shields were instantly knocked to the ground by flying cannonballs.
The artillery shells were not random and exploded at the feet of the Qin soldiers. The charging Qin soldiers also suffered a lot.
