Become a feudal king from today

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of gunfire continued on Wufeng Island. As time went by, the sound of rifled gunfire became more and more frequent, while the sound of the pirates' flintlock guns gradually became sparse. read

Although the pirates received flintlocks and artillery, the shogunate gave them the worst firearms.

After all, since all the warships of the Wufeng pirates were destroyed, they had lost their former role, and they were only given some junk to go around.

How could they fight the Marines with such firearms.

Before they even met the Marines, a large number of them were killed.

Furthermore, these pirates are all desperadoes. Usually they are brave and fierce, but each one is more capable than the other, but when they are training in formation, they are difficult to control.

As soon as this war started, the problem of being brave enough to fight in private but timid in public fighting came out.

Under the contact, there were many casualties. The pirates suddenly lost their control and ran around like headless flies, fighting on their own.

The Marine Corps continued to advance into the island in an orderly manner. When all 30,000 people landed, the Wufeng Island pirates were even more unbearable.

In less than half a day, more than 10,000 people died in battle and surrendered.

By noon, Pan Changren sent news of occupying the entire island, and Zhou Yi landed on Nanfeng Island, the main island of Wufeng Island.

"General, there are barracks and fields on Wufeng Island. It is really a good place to station troops." Seeing Zhou Yi, Pan Chang pointed to the green wheat fields and the pirate camp not far away. There were many wooden houses in the camp.

Seeing this, Zhou Yi smiled with satisfaction.

They already have Treasure Island, and now they occupy Wufeng Island.

This means that they have two fulcrums all the way from Yanzhou to Japan, and supply is no longer a problem.

"That's right. Now you send people to clean up the pirates' camp, arrange barracks for the soldiers, and at the same time check the warehouses on the island." Zhou Yi said.

Then, he asked Pan Chang and the Secretary-General of the Marine Corps to exercise military control over the island residents just like when the royal family's troops went south.

After resting on Wufeng Island for two days, Zhou Yi set his sights on Changqi City, which was only fifty miles away from Wufeng Island.

Due to the prosperity of Japan's sea trade, Japan's long and narrow land has formed a situation where the south is rich and the north is poor.

Because the south is keen on maritime trade, it is easier to accept the Western natives and Western native technology and culture.

In contrast, the north is more conservative.

The Watanabe case that unified Japan also relied on the four vassals in the south that had become prosperous due to maritime trade.

Among them, Nagaki Castle belongs to the Hizen Domain, one of the Four Domains, and is controlled by the Asana family. Its wealth is not inferior to Edo, which is controlled by the Watanabe family.

Therefore, Zhou Yi naturally drooled over the fat piece of meat in his mouth.

During the Battle of Edo, Watanabe's attitude showed that he was still determined to fight them.

This is also what King Yan expected.

In this case, they let Japan have a taste of being plundered.

This is also revenge for the Japanese pirates' attacks on the coast of Dasong in recent years.

After deciding this matter, he left two thousand men to garrison on Wufeng Island.

On the third day, the fleet set off from Wufeng Island and headed for Changqi.

They set off early in the morning and arrived at the sea outside Changqi in less than half an hour.

Through the telescope, Zhou Yi looked at Changqi City and said to Pan Chang: "In this landing operation, there must be no trace of womanly kindness. Think about how many men, women, and children I have praised for their tragic deaths under the butcher's knife of the Japanese pirates over the years, and be kind to the enemy. It’s cruel to oneself.”

When Pan Chang heard this, he nodded solemnly.

At this time, Zhou Yi ordered the fleet to set up a formation and bombard Changqi Pier, destroying all their forts.

He was full of confidence in winning this attack.

The number of Japanese troops is limited.

According to the information obtained by the Fourth Academy, the number of soldiers in Japan is only more than 600,000.

In the battle of Goryeo, Japan lost 150,000 elites, leaving only 450,000, and 200,000 were stationed in Edo city alone.

The remaining 250,000 should be guarded against the twenty-six large cities along the coast and more than fifty medium-sized cities.

This does not include many small towns.

Can you imagine how much of the remaining 250,000 Japanese troops can be allocated to each city?

Even if Japan blindly expands its army, they will not be able to provide enough firearms for a while.

Then the recruited troops can only fight with them with swords.

The most important thing is that they have no idea that the city will be attacked by them.

"Boom, boom, boom..." Soon after Zhou Yi's order was issued, the warships launched an attack on Changqi Pier.

Dense shells fell like raindrops on Changqi Pier, mixed with explosive shells.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

These explosive bombs fell with loud noises, and huge fireballs rose from the shore.

Zhou Yi could see Japanese soldiers running back and forth between the forts, and they were killed and injured by cannonballs.

Forty-eight sail warships opened fire at the same time, and Changqi Pier suddenly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

…

Changqi City.

The first time the Changqi Pier was bombarded, Naoto Ma rope ordered the city gates to be closed tightly.

When he came to the south gate and looked at the dock from a distance, he looked around anxiously, "It's so unlucky. How could King Yan's army choose Changqi?"

During this time, news of the failure of the Edo Naval Battle spread throughout Japan.

He also received orders from the shogunate to patrol frequently and beware of attacks by the Yanzhou army.

For this reason, the entire Changqi City was in panic. After all, there were only 30,000 Japanese soldiers stationed in Changqi City.

Even if he temporarily obtained the right to recruit troops and captured many young men to join the army, he could only recruit 20,000 people in such a short period of time, and there were no firearms.

As he was thinking, he suddenly noticed that there were many small boats on the sea. These small boats were full of soldiers and headed towards the dock.

At this moment, there was no more gunfire at Changqi Pier.

In just a short period of time, the opponent destroyed all their forts.

Seeing this, he felt frightened in his heart. Seeing with his own eyes the power of King Yan's army, he finally understood why Goryeo was defeated.

"Tell the soldiers to hold on. The people asking for help have already set off. As long as the reinforcements arrive, they can drive away King Yan's army." Naoto Ma Sheng swallowed and said to the generals around him.

"Yes, Lord." The general responded, turned and left.

Changqi Pier is only three miles away from Changqi City.

King Yan's soldiers can arrive in an instant.

…

Changqi Pier.

Pan Chang led the soldiers to row in the sea for a while and then landed smoothly.

During the landing, they encountered no resistance.

This made him keenly aware that Changqi City must have insufficient troops, so he could only hoard troops to focus on guarding Changqi City.

Thinking this, a smile appeared on his lips.

While waiting for the soldiers to land, he checked the forts on the shore.

The artillerymen in the fort were basically killed, and their bodies were scattered everywhere.

In one hour, all 30,000 Marines landed ashore, and at the same time howitzers and rifled field guns were transported ashore.

Immediately, he led an army of 30,000 people toward Changqi City.
