Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 379

Under Wei Zhongxian's order, two thousand musketeers on six warships began to disembark in turn and go ashore.

This process lasted for more than half an hour before it was considered complete.

During this process, the Japanese did not come out to make trouble.

While the six warships were showing off their might in the port of Nagasaki, a group of blue-eyed and red-haired Spaniards and Dutch businessmen were also watching this unilateral crush on a bank with a reverse slope not far away.

"York, do you think our Spanish warships can defeat the Ming warships?" A middle-aged white man asked another middle-aged white man.

"It's hard." The middle-aged white man named York shook his head and said, "I have observed that the range of the artillery on the warships of the Ming Dynasty is very far, twice that of our artillery, and they are also equipped with explosive weapons that can explode. With the same number of bombs, we can't beat it."

"Then do you think the Ming people can beat the Japanese to rescue their companions?" The middle-aged white man next to York continued to ask.

"I don't know, but it should be possible. They seem to have a lot of people coming this time," York said.

While the two were talking, two thousand musketeers had taken turns ashore.

After landing, these musketeers immediately formed a battle formation.

"The Governor ordered to shoot all those who are hostile to you, and then go into the city to rescue Mr. Chen..."

Among the Musketeers, countless officers began to mobilize before the battle.

At this time, Nagasaki City, because it was a seaport city, did not build a tall city wall, only a wall no more than five meters high surrounded it.

And the reason why they are surrounded like this is only for the convenience of collecting taxes in the city.

Wei Zhongxian believes that two thousand musketeers are enough to attack a harbor city like this.

In Nagasaki Castle at this time, Arima Harunobu and Shimadzu Tadakiyo were also preparing for battle.

It was impossible for them to allow the Ming army to attack the city swaggeringly. Their soldiers and horses were three times that of the opponent, and they did not think that they would lose if they were defending the city.

"Give me an order to attack the city wall of Nagasaki and blast a way for the rescue troops." Wei Zhongxian saw that two thousand Musketeers were ready, so he gave the order and said.

Following Wei Zhongxian's order, soon, the artillery on the six battleships fired again.

This time, the artillery shells were replaced with powerful solid artillery shells. Hundreds of artillery shells were fired at the Nagasaki City Wall not far away, and many gaps were quickly made in the Nagasaki City Wall.

Even some Japanese soldiers hiding behind the city walls suffered heavy casualties, forcing them to stay away from the shelling.

However, the gunfire kept on, and after the first round of firing was completed, the naval guns soon began to fire the second round.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

As the artillery continued to sound, countless solid shells slammed towards the city wall of Nagasaki like meteors, making gaps in the city wall of Nagasaki.

At the same time, some artillery shells crossed the city wall and hit the houses inside the city wall, crippling these houses.

The shelling lasted for more than an hour, and Wei Zhongxian gave the order to stop the shooting until he opened a 200-meter-wide passage on the city wall on the side of Nagasaki City.

At this time, in Nagasaki Castle, Arima Harunobu looked at the solid cannonballs as big as the mouth of a bowl that his men had collected, and said nothing for a long time.

"General, the Ming army has attacked." The subordinates reported to Arima Harunobu.

"Pass down the order, wait for the Ming army to enter the city, and then launch an attack from various streets." Arima Harunobu said as he issued the order.

The Ming army had naval guns, and it was impossible for him to let his army go out of the city to fight.

In addition, the firearms of the Ming army were sharp, and it was impossible for him to assemble an army to fight against them.

The only way to weaken the enemy's strength is to let the enemy enter the city, and then fight the enemy in street fighting, defeating the enemy with two or three times the number of the enemy.

"My lord, our musketeers are about to enter the city. The Japanese don't seem to want to fight back. Could it be that they want to surrender?" asked Wei Zhongxian and his young men on the Tianjin.

"No, the Japanese want to fight us in the street." Wei Zhongxian explained.

"Street fighting, isn't our musketeer very dangerous?"

"Don't worry, there aren't many Japanese soldiers in Nagasaki City. Our musketeers are all equipped with short guns and grenades. We are not afraid of hand-to-hand combat. We may lose some people, but it's all worth it." Wei Zhongxian said.

"Why don't we wait for the reinforcements from behind to arrive before launching an attack?" the subordinate asked.

At this time, the 2000 people who came were just the vanguard, and there were more than 3000 people behind them who did not arrive because they were on merchant ships and were slow.

"We can wait for the reinforcements to arrive, but Master Chen can't wait any longer." Wei Zhongxian said.

"Then why don't we accept the Japanese's peace proposal so that we don't have to lose men."

"This is an order from the palm print. If you fight against the Japanese, you must severely injure the Japanese at all costs."

While the two were talking, fierce gunfire and shouts of death finally erupted in Nagasaki City.

After the two thousand Musketeers entered the city, they were attacked by five or six thousand Japanese samurai from Arima Harunobu and Shimadzu Chukiyo from all directions.

Because it is a street fight, the musketeers have no way to keep a distance. In many cases, as long as they see the enemy, the enemy has already come forward.

Such a situation caused many people's flintlock guns to lose their powerful combat effectiveness.

But fortunately, each of these Musketeers was issued five or six short guns. These short guns gathered all the short guns of five or six thousand Musketeers and sent them to 2000 people.

"Brothers, our reinforcements are here, rush out and kill the Japanese."

In the Royal Commercial Hall, Chen Guangping raised his arms, and the remaining 200 musketeers quickly left the position and headed towards the direction where the sound of battle kept ringing out.

In Nagasaki Harbor, six battleships float quietly on the water.

On board, countless sailors and crew members looked at the city of Nagasaki.

The battle lasted from the afternoon until it was almost dark, and the winner has not yet been decided.

"The Japanese ran away, the Japanese ran away."

While everyone was waiting anxiously, cheers of victory finally sounded in Nagasaki City.

"Mr. Governor, we won, we won the battle."

Soon, someone went out of the city to report the good news to Wei Zhongxian.

"Good, good, good!" Wei Zhongxian said three good things in a row.

Not long after, another group of people came out of the city towards the port.

"Master Chen is here." Someone recognized who it was.

"Big Brother Wei!"

"Brother Chen!"

Wei Zhongxian and Chen Guangping finally met on the Tianjin.

"Thank you Brother Wei for the rescue." Chen Guangping thanked Wei Zhongxian.

"You and my brother are welcome! By the way, how is the battle in the city?" Wei Zhongxian asked Chen Guangping.

"Very good, we have defeated the Japanese. Arima Harunobu and Shimazu Tadakiyoshi have fled out of the city from the northeast with their remaining defeated troops. Most of the Japanese people in the city have also escaped, and only some maritime merchants from various countries are left. "

"What's our loss?" Wei Zhongxian asked.

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Chen Guangping was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "It's not optimistic, I'm afraid hundreds of brothers will not be able to return to Daming alive."
