Become a feudal king from today

"Hehe, this Changqi is really impressive. The information from the Fourth Institute should be good. It is a rich city. Read"

While marching towards Changqi City, Pan Chang divided his 30,000 troops into four groups.

Among them, 10,000 troops and horses were deployed in the south city on the front, 10,000 troops and horses were deployed in the north city, and 5,000 troops were deployed at the east and west gates to surround Changqi City.

This time they did not use the tactic of surrounding three and missing one, but they wanted to deal with the Japanese severely.

The north and south were arranged in this way to prevent the Japanese from looking at each other.

After all the troops and horses were in place, the artillerymen set up artillery positions and built forts with sandbags.

Pan Chang looked at the south gate tower at this time.

It is different from the city of Dasong. Although the city of Dasong also has a tower, it only has two floors.

But the Japanese city towers are very tall, with five or six floors.

The corridors of the city towers on each floor were now filled with soldiers holding flintlock rifles.

This kind of tower serves both as a defense against enemies and as a watchtower.

However, this kind of tower is obviously a legacy of the cold weapon period.

Because to them, these towers are of no use at all.

Putting away the telescope, he said to the artillery general: "This tower is too annoying, blow it up!"

In response, the artillery general left and returned to the artillery position.

This time they built the artillery position five hundred meters away from Changqi City.

With Japanese artillery, their artillery was unable to destroy the sandbag walls built by the artillerymen.

The Marine artillery can see carefully and destroy targets accurately.

Then, a rifled field gun adjusted its height and aimed its muzzle at the tower.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the rifled cannon shells flew straight towards Changqi Tower.

There was another "boom", and the explosive bomb exploded on the tower. The tower suddenly flew with sawdust, flames and smoke.

At this time, Naoto Asana was observing the entire battlefield on the top floor of the tower, and the explosion occurred on the fifth floor.

The sudden shelling scared him so much that he sat on the ground.

Although he is the lord of the vassal, since the Watanabe case unified Japan, the lord of the vassal is no longer a prince of one party, but a civil servant who manages various factions.

Moreover, Changqi City has never been attacked by foreign forces.

Facing war for the first time, he was naturally at a loss.

Others were no better.

The explosion happened so close, they were all startled, and their legs felt a little weak.

But this is just the beginning, after the first cannon fire.

The artillery on the Yanzhou artillery position seemed to be awakened, and the roar continued.

Before Naoto Asana and the generals around him could recover from the first round of explosions, they saw more than a dozen black dots flying toward the tower like lightning.

He wanted to run away, but his legs no longer obeyed him.

At this moment, these black spots landed on different locations on the tower.

"Boom, boom, boom..." The explosions happened one after another.

The entire tower seemed to have experienced an earthquake.

Naoto Ma Sheng was horrified. He felt as if the tower was about to collapse.

The instinct to survive made him use all his strength to get up and run down. Suddenly, he was knocked down again.

It turned out that a cannonball penetrated the floor from bottom to top, revealing half of the projectile head, blocking his path.

Seeing this, Naoto Naoto was stunned for a moment, but at this stunned moment, the shell suddenly exploded, and the flames completely engulfed him.

It seems that due to this explosion, the entire Changqi Tower made a "creak" and "creak" sound, and then collapsed.

The smoke from the collapsed tower almost covered the entire south wall.

"I really can't stand it." Pan Chang glanced at his mouth.

He always remembered what Zhou Yi said to him.

The Japanese have done a lot of evil on the coast of Dasong in recent years. They massacred the people along the coast and looted all their property. They even spared babies who were several months old, not to mention the women who were robbed and humiliated.

"Take advantage of the moment and hit hard!" Thinking of this, Pan Chang's face turned frosty and he gave the order for a full-scale attack.

He could see that the Japanese people in the city tower had a high status in Changqi, and were even the highest officials and generals in Changqi City.

At this moment, if they don't die, they will have to be buried in the tower and cannot command the battle.

Without a leader, Changqi City will be even more fragile.

At his command, rifled guns and howitzers roared simultaneously.

Howitzers dropped lime bombs onto the walls.

Nancheng was already covered in smoke and dust, and in an instant it was as if it was shrouded in clouds and mist.

A wave of lime bombs was thrown, and the howitzers dropped shotgun shells.

A flash of fire in the white smoke.

At the same time as they launched their attack, the Japanese artillery also began to return fire.

It's just that perhaps because the line of sight was blocked, the Japanese artillery fire seemed scattered and without a target.

It cannot cause any damage to soldiers distributed in skirmish lines.

The fact was just as Pan Chang expected.

At this moment, the Japanese soldiers in Nancheng were in an extremely miserable situation.

The collapse of the tower killed some Japanese soldiers.

Lime bombs also caused many soldiers to hurt their eyes and lose their combat effectiveness.

The shotgun shells inflicted heavy casualties on the remaining soldiers.

And the entire city wall was shrouded in fog, making it impossible to fight back.

The entire city wall was filled with the screams of Japanese soldiers.

At the same time as the cannons fired in Nancheng, the other three city walls were also attacked.

The Japanese soldiers on other city walls could not come to support at all, which made Nancheng even more difficult.

"Attack the city!" The Japanese soldiers' unorganized bombardment made Pan Chang realize that the time had come to attack the city, and he immediately gave the order.

At this time, the soldiers fired at the top of the city to cover the first batch of grenadiers who rushed out.

Arriving at the foot of the south city, the grenadiers threw grenades onto the city wall at all times.

Continuous explosions continued to sound, and the flames caused by the explosion enveloped the southern city wall.

Throwing all the grenades they carried, the grenade team withdrew.

At this time, the soldiers fixed their bayonets and rushed toward the city wall carrying ladders.

"kill!"

The ladder climbed up the wall, and the Marines clambered up the wall.

By this time, the smoke on the city wall had gradually dissipated.

After climbing the city wall, they jumped down with bayonets in hand, preparing to fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese soldiers.

But I saw the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere on the city wall, covered with white lime and dust from the collapse of the towers.

This scene did not shake the soldiers' will to fight. They stepped on the corpses of Japanese soldiers and prepared to occupy the city wall and open the city gate at the same time.

"Nishinai!" While the Marines were marching, suddenly the corpses of Japanese soldiers on the wall rolled. Some Japanese who had been suppressed underneath got up and rushed towards the Marines.

It turned out that these Japanese soldiers used the corpses of their companions as human shields and escaped the howitzer explosion.

Although the Marine Corps soldiers are not affiliated with the Royal Army, the two armies often exchange battlefield experiences.

The royal family's troops have experienced this kind of situation quite a lot.

So, they are always on alert.

As soon as the Japanese soldiers rushed over, their bayonets pierced them.

The remaining Japanese soldiers were quickly cleared away.

At this time, the soldiers looked into Changqi City, their eyes burning like fire.
