I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

Zhu Zhangui's order was issued, and all the troops and horses began to move.

The first to go was the navy.

As a sea force, they may encounter the enemy at any time, and they are almost used to keeping on standby at [-] o'clock.

When the order to assemble is given.

The Marine Corps, who had long been eager for meritorious service, assembled and boarded the ship as quickly as possible.

Standing on the pier, Zhu Zhangui bowed his hands deeply to the naval personnel who stood on the deck and saluted him.

The sailors collectively raised their hands in return.

There were no inspiring speeches before the war, and no promises of rewards from high-ranking officials.

As Zhu Zhangui's most direct unit, all naval personnel will fight for Zhu Zhangui to the last.

They also know that as long as they fight hard, Zhu Zhangui will not miss them the rewards and rewards they deserve.

"Wooooow..."

With the sound of the horn, the sailors pulled up the sail vigorously, and the sailors in the power cabin, shirtless, followed the horn, and slid the huge oars vigorously, causing the huge battleship to move slowly.

It wasn't until the navy's ship disappeared that Zhu Zhangui, who was standing at the pier, returned to the temporary station by the sea.

He will stay here until the battle is over.

There are two purposes.

First, the fastest to receive news from the Navy.

Second, in case of defeat, several warships staying on the shore will escort him away immediately.

Although the second possibility is very small, it may not even happen at all.

But as a commander, you must be prepared for any accidents to happen.

At noon, the Shenji Battalion was divided into two, and officially launched an attack in two directions.

In the northeast, led by Jiang Huai, stepped out of the Izumo border and launched an attack on Inaba.

The names and families who guard this place are also ready.

They fortified the walls and cleared the field, summoned all the people who could fight, and prepared for a strong resistance in the city of their territory.

Jiang Huai, who was observing the enemy's fortress with a telescope in his hand, chuckled disdainfully at the paper-like defense line.

The enemy's fortress defense line, except for the trenches dug, is the same as Yueshan Tomita Castle on the outside, which is the kind of wooden city wall built with logs.

I am used to the impregnable defense of the Ming Dynasty, and the defense of the little Woguas, in the eyes of Jiang Huai, is like a child's play.

"Notify the artillery battalion, first fire a round of cannons to notify the dwarfs inside, we are coming!"

Taking back the binoculars, Jiang Huai gave the order to fire the guns to Zhang Xian who was standing beside him.

Zhang Xian saluted and ran to the artillery camp in person.

This time the Shenji Battalion went to sea, but not all the artillery was brought.

Only 60 light artillery pieces and [-] medium artillery pieces were carried.

In this division of troops, the artillery battalion was also divided into two.

Jianghuai and Shen An each brought 30 light artillery pieces and 10 medium artillery pieces.

As for the tiger squatting cannon, it is the troops from the bottom to the bottom.

After the Shenji Battalion returned from the Northern Expedition, Zhu Zhangui changed the Shenji Battalion due to the increase in troops.

The original team divisions will be cancelled.

It was changed to a squadron of 10 people, a squadron of 50 people, a brigade of 100 people, a battalion of [-] people, and a regiment of [-] people.

The titles of the officers of each team were changed to the captain of the squadron and the captain of the squadron.

Thousands of people can be called the battalion commander, and they can also be called the commander of a thousand people.

Ten thousand people form a regiment, and the full title of the title is the Commander of the Shenjiying Corps, or the Commander of the Legion for short.

Shen An is the head of the Second Army Corps.

The supreme commander is the commander of the Shenji Battalion, Jianghuai.

Before departure, the Shenji Battalion expanded the number of combatants to more than 3.

So now the Shenji Battalion has a total of three legions.

In addition, there is a logistics regiment, an artillery battalion, and a cavalry battalion that rarely exists.

Counting all the personnel, the Shenji Battalion currently has more than 48000 personnel.

The officers were still a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of job title.

But the soldiers below thought it was easier to speak.

Because the new official position is so easy to remember, as long as you are not a fool, you can remember it after listening to it once.

Like the previous Yingchongheng ride, many soldiers couldn't tell the difference.

Trotting all the way, bypassing the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, Zhang Xian came to the side of the artillery camp, and said to the artillery battalion commander who was helping the soldiers adjust the artillery fire.

"Old Song, how are your preparations? Commander-in-Chief has given the order to fire!"

The artillery battalion commander, who was pouting his buttocks and adjusting the angle with a cork, shook off the dirt on his hands.

"Okay, it's done!"

Although this battalion commander is only a battalion-level officer, but because of the special nature of the artillery, his official position is actually similar to that of Zhang Xian, the deputy commander.

When he usually attends meetings, his position is within the top five of the Shenji Camp.

The reason why it is in the top five instead of the top three is that in addition to the two commanders Jiang Huai and Zhang Xian, the Shenji Battalion also has the two positions of command assistant and command counselor.

These two were sent by the imperial court, and they seldom get involved with soldiers like them in normal times, and they are responsible for registering military exploits and distributing military salaries.

Everyone usually treats these two people as if they don't exist.

And those two people also know that they are not welcome, so they don't come to Shenji Camp normally.

When they came out this time, after the battle at Quanzhou Wharf was over, the two were sent back to Shenji Camp by Zhu Zhangui to stand by.

"Attention No. 1 gun, start test firing preparations!"

Wiping his dirty hands on his body, Lao Song, the artillery battalion chief, held up his binoculars, looked at the fortress in the distance, and quickly gave orders.

The first gunner next to him raised his torch and was ready to point the lead.

"fire!"

"boom!"

The torch ignited the fuse, and the fuse burned quickly, igniting the gunpowder in the barrel.

The gunpowder was ignited, and with powerful kinetic energy, against the shell in the barrel, it flew into the distance.

"Peng!"

The shell crossed an arc, and hit the fence wall of the little pumpkin defense fortress heavily, smashing it out of a big hole.

"Fine-adjust the lower angle for a moment, and the No. 2 cannon fires!"

"boom!"

The No. [-] gun on standby quickly made a simple fine-tuning and fired again.

The cannonball made a perfect circle, crossed the low fence wall, and smashed into the fortress of the little pumpkin, causing a crowd of exclamations and screams.

"Keep the angle, the whole battalion fires in turn!"

Seeing that the artillery shells had smashed into the enemy's defensive circle, Lao Song, the artillery battalion leader, retracted his binoculars and gave the order for the whole battalion to fire.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The cannons rang out one after another, and the shells pierced the air and blasted into the fortress of the little pumpkin with a sharp whistle.

The little pumpkins who fought against the Ming army for the first time habitually used their previous fighting methods, holding shields and bamboo spears in the fortress, waiting for the enemy to attack the city.

Unexpectedly, the enemy didn't wait to come, but waited for a lot of iron balls to drop from the sky.

The little pumpkin, who was shelled for the first time, was so frightened that he almost peed his pants when he saw his partner's brains burst and his limbs smashed into pieces.

The sound of the cannonball whistling in the sky was like the whisper of a demon.

The frightened little pumpkins disregarded the officer's shouts one by one, and were frightened by the excrement and urine running around, looking for a safe place, trying to avoid the shell attack.

However, due to frequent earthquakes, the houses of the little pumpkins are mainly thatched cottages, and only those nobles can afford brick buildings.

Not to mention thatched huts, brick and tile houses may not be able to withstand the flying shells.

As a result, no matter where the little pumpkins went, they couldn't escape the bombardment of the artillery fire.

While the artillery battalion was shelling, the infantry of the two battalions lined up, and under the command of the drum beat, they slowly approached the fortress of the Japanese pirates.

"The enemy is coming, prepare to defend!"

On the watchtower, a little pumpkin who had been praying not to be hit by the shelling, saw the enemy approaching the defensive wall, and hurriedly shouted to the bottom.

But the little pumpkins who were bombarded below, who had nowhere to go to the sky and nowhere to go to the ground, could not hear his cry, and they were still running away one by one.

The infantry quickly approached 50 steps away from the fortress wall, and under the command of the officer, they raised their rifles to aim at the wall.

More than a dozen soldiers in full body armor held shields in one hand to defend against the arrows shot from above at any time, and in the other hand they carried a wooden bucket and rushed towards the city wall quickly.

These dozen or so people are blasters, and their task is to blow up the enemy's city gate or city wall.

A dozen people carried their shields and quickly ran to the side of the ditch.

Two soldiers ignited the fuse on the barrel and rolled it straight into the ditch.

"Boom boom boom!"

Two violent explosions sounded.

The sharp bamboo thorns and wooden thorns under the trench were emptied in a large area in an instant.

Got the trench done.

Soldiers without blasting barrels pulled out their waist knives to clean up the surrounding wooden and bamboo thorns.

The soldier with the barrel in his hand quickly climbed over the ditch and approached the gate of Little Pumpkin.

"The enemy is coming, hurry up..."

The little pumpkin warrior, who was hiding from the shelling behind the door, saw someone approaching outside through the gap, and yelled nervously.

One by one, they looked at the shells whistling in the sky, and nervously looked at the demolition soldiers near the door while holding their katanas.

The demolition troopers did not approach the gate.

Instead, outside the range of the enemy's long spear and bamboo thorns, he lit the gunpowder barrel and pushed it directly.

The little pumpkin warrior behind the door looked puzzled at the wooden barrel being pushed over.

Because they were frightened by the artillery just now, they didn't notice the action of the blasters blasting the trench just now, so they didn't know why they pushed the barrel over.

The demolition soldiers who lit the blasting barrels ran towards the trench without even looking at the gunpowder barrels.

Under the puzzled gaze of the little pumpkin warrior, the small wooden barrel rolled and hit the wooden door.

"What is this, fire oil?"

Under the puzzled gaze of the little pumpkin warrior, the fuse of the powder keg burned to the bottom.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A sky-shattering loud noise rang out suddenly.

Each barrel of blasting barrels can hold 30 catties of black powder and there are 4 of them rolled to the door.

Although the power of black powder is not great, the explosive power of 120 catties under special means is not trivial.

The huge shock wave of the explosion tore the wooden door into pieces.

Dozens of little pumpkin warriors who were preparing to fight behind the door were rushed away by the powerful shock wave.

The bodies of those standing in front were blown to pieces.

Such a ferocious explosion made the entire battlefield quiet for a moment.
