"Boom boom boom..."

Twelve cannons spit out flames and thick white smoke three hundred meters away.

The shells drew out the afterimages and hit the city walls of Jinghai County, smashing a burst of smoke and dust.

However, the first round of shooting, the shells fell around the city gate and did not hit the city gate.

The moment the cannon sounded, the soldiers of the royal palace on the city wall immediately squatted down to avoid it.

This scene was seen by the pirates outside the city, and they pointed at the city wall and laughed wildly.

It seems to be proud of the intimidation effect of his artillery on the enemy.

Yamada Ichino held the hilt of the sword.

He is a Japanese ronin, his father is, and his grandfather is.

This is how this knife was passed down to him from generation to generation.

Once upon a time, his grandfather worked hard for a Japanese vassal lord.

But since the Japanese vassal lord Watanabekita defeated other vassal lords in the national war thirty years ago and established shogunate rule.

These ronin who specialize in serving the vassal lords are no longer needed and have lost their source of life.

From then on, the ronin began to seek a way out.

Some people act as guards for maritime traders, while others enter the forest and become bandits.

But more people chose to become pirates.

Ten years ago, he met Montenegro while drinking at Hengsu Harbour in Japan.

At that time, Montenegro and the island owner Lu Zheng were appreciated by the shogunate general Matsuura Nobu was invited to settle in Japan.

He even gave him Wufeng Island, not far from the southwest shore of Japan, as a base for maritime trade.

When I learned that Lu Zheng was engaged in maritime trade, he was also a giant gangster at sea.

And he has been recruiting outlaws to join his fleet in Goryeo, Japan, and Dasong.

Without a settled life, he chose to join him and become the deputy of Montenegro.

After all, for the Japanese Rangers, their lives are killing.

I used to be a vassal lord, but now I am a lord of Wufeng Island, which is no different.

What's more, deep down, what he yearns for is this kind of barbaric life of unrestrained robbery and killing.

Going home to farm honestly is even more uncomfortable than killing him.

"Brothers, draw out your sword and kill you as much as you want later!" Yamada Ichino pulled out his long sword and waved his face, distorted.

They even disdained to use combs and artillery when they were plundering the southeast coast of Dasong.

Among the pirates on Wufeng Island, Dasong people and Japanese people each account for 40%, and 20% are Goryeo.

Contaminated with the habits of the Japanese ronin, the pirates on Wufeng Island are fearless and very fierce.

They dared to rush over and fight against the encirclement and suppression troops that Dasong came.

Every time, Dasong's army ran away with its head.

The southeast coast has thus become their paradise, and no one dares to provoke them.

Otherwise, facing the next more fierce robbery.

But unexpectedly, their Wufeng Island suffered such humiliation in a barren land like Yanzhou, which was not interested in robbing.

The King of Yan not only killed their men, but also their bodies hung on the shore to humiliate them.

How could they endure this? They could only take revenge with crazy revenge.

"Blow the cannon at the right time, a bunch of waste." Yamada Ichino looked back angrily again.

Only when the city gate was broken, he led people into the battle.

This is the time to show the glory of Wufeng Island.

On the city wall.

Bai Shang watched the pirates' every move and raised his mouth.

The last time he fought with the pirates, he found that these pirates were indeed a bit tough.

But what he likes the most is to fight tough battles.

"It seems that they want to defeat us with swords. They are really a group of arrogant people. They think we are the Dasong Imperial Army or the army of the Shi Clan?" Bai Shang sneered.

After his words fell, another firecracker sounded.

Then he heard several sounds of wood shattering.

The East Gate was hit by a pirate.

"Don't fight back, wait for them to rush over." Bai Shang was calm and composed.

He participated in the Battle of Qiu Shou and defeated Yuan Family Bing with the King of Yan.

He fought Xiliang in Jinzhou, although he couldn't say that he had experienced many battles.

But the current attack of the pirates is nothing but a joke to him.

He had heard of the pirates' reputation and knew their ferocity.

But these outlaws also have fatal shortcomings.

They are very good at fighting alone, but because of their domineering personality and aggressive discipline, they are always distracted.

Continue to observe the pirates quietly. In addition to artillery, he also saw muskets on the pirates.

However, this kind of musket is somewhat different from their flintlock rifles.

If he remembers correctly, he looks the same as the matchrail that King Yan had mentioned in the military school.

"Architecture, musket, it seems that King Yan has not deceived us, times have changed." Bai Shang murmured.

Times have changed. This is a sentence that King Yan said when he mocked Lu Chang in the military school.

The implication is that we should not be on the old habit of relying solely on swords to fight, but we should carefully study if we use firearms to kill the enemy.

"Boom boom boom..." The pirate's artillery kept roaring.

An hour later, the East Gate, full of holes, finally couldn't resist the shelling and collapsed with a bang.

"kill!"

The moment the city gate fell, the pirates screamed wildly.

Some pirates even tore off their shirts, put their upper body naked, raised their long sword with a genital rushing towards the city gate.

When the pirates were bombarded, Bai Shang had already led his soldiers to move the artillery from other city walls to the east gate.

Because he did not attach much importance to the pirates, the artillery assigned to him by Chang Wei was not a heavy city guard cannon, but a field cannon weighing twelve pounds.

These cannons are easily moved across spacious walls.

"Grape bomb!" Bai Shang ordered at this time.

The pirates did not rush over.

But more than 300 people in the first row rushed towards the city gate.

At the same time, the pirates holding the mezzanine also advanced scatteredly, approaching the city wall, and using muskets to suppress the defenders on the city.

"These pirates are interesting." Bai Shang murmured.

Obviously, they know how to avoid heavy losses under artillery.

"Boom boom boom..."

The cannon sounded, this time it was the cannon of the royal family's personal army.

Thirty-six cannons loaded with grape bullets spewed raindrop-like marbles at the pirates.

The pirates who were hit suddenly screamed.

However, due to the pirates' dispersed formation, there were only dozens of pirates casualties in one round of artillery attacks.

The remaining pirates were still rushing towards the city wall.

He immediately ordered the captain who was guarding the city gate to prepare.

The soldiers holding flintlock rifles were arranged in an array.

The heavy infantry squatted in front of the flintlock spearmen.

As long as the pirates pass the city gate, they will pour fire into them.

"Hmph! Let me see what you have." Bai Shang's eyes narrowed.

This was his first time encountering an army with a medley of guns and artillery.

For him, this is an excellent opportunity to accumulate experience.

After all, Dasong is currently popularizing firearms, and even Beidi is developing artillery.

In the future, they will face more such opponents.

The war has begun.

At the same time, the cavalry sent by Bai Shang were galloping towards Yancheng.

He rushed to the sky at night, and the next day he arrived in Yancheng and sent the news of the attack of the pirates to Zhao Xu.

"Pipants!"

At the artillery school in Yancheng North, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei are watching the effect of the artillery after cutting.

Upon receiving the news, he frowned.
Chapter completed!
