Installation, counterweight, and hard work to transport stone bombs from the ship. The soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty were ready to launch. While fighting in the Western Continent, the castles and cities that looked extremely strong collapsed one after another under the attack of the catapults. The soldiers squatted on the ground, staring with wide eyes and excitedly waiting for the stone bombs covered in rain to shatter the opponent's defense.

But what they waited for was the first attack by the Ming army.

The first thing that came was a huge roar. Compared with the crisp sound of the previous snap, this time it was like a sudden thunder in the sky. But when they looked up at the sky, they found that the Chaoyang was climbing into the sky from the east.

Then, they saw dozens of huge flames flying towards them from the defensive front of the Ming army, carrying wind and thunder. In the midst of exclamation, the army soldiers lay on the ground.

The fireball swept over their heads and landed on the dense trenched siege positions behind them.

The deafening explosions came one after another, and thick smoke rose into the air. In the smoke, countless broken arms and limbs, countless wooden blocks, and even stone bombs flew into the air.

Behind, Mattus and Qin Li looked at the trencher that had been brought ashore in the middle of the night, and in an instant, they were covered by mass of smoke. The smoke had not yet dissipated, but a very bad feeling arose in both of them.

The sea breeze blew gently, and a faint smell of gunpowder came from his nose. The thick smoke passed with the wind, and the pupils of both of them involuntarily contracted involuntarily at that moment. The trencher position, which was previously majestic, was still intact on the position, but only more than ten were left, and the others were all turned into ruins all over the ground.

What's even worse was that the soldiers who were preparing to fire stone bombs next to the catapult were almost no longer standing. The only few left were as confused as if they had lost their souls, and they were aimlessly turning around in the circle. Some of them fell to the ground after taking a few steps and never stood up again.

"What is this, what is this?" Mattus cried out in dismay. The power of this weapon was far beyond his imagination.

"I don't know. What is this? What did the Ming people make?" Qin Li was still inferior to Mattus at this time. Mattus saw the tragic scene in front of him, but he saw the scene where soldiers of Qi were attacking this powerful weapon.

Before the two of them could come back to their senses, the second round of roar sounded again, and the place where they hit was still the position of the catapult.

After the second round of explosions, nothing was left on the trench position.

"Beautiful job!" Gongsun Yue snapped his fingers, took off the two balls of cotton stuffed in his ears, and smiled at the captain of the artillery team beside him, saying, "Since it has been done, then continue and give those Westerners a big meal!"

"Okay!" The artillery captain smiled happily. Seeing that other comrades had fought for so long, he was holding a sharp weapon in his own hands, but he had never had the chance to play. Now he naturally had the opportunity, so he naturally had to perform well.

The sound of artillery sounded again, but this time it was a cluster of enemy soldiers waiting for attack in front of them.

When the shells were raging among the crowd, no matter how elite the army was, they could not withstand such bombing. There was no need for Mattus to give the order to retreat. His elite soldiers who had never known what they were retreating on the battlefield had retreated like a tide.

The attack ended before it even began. Not only those soldiers, but even Mattus, by this time, his fighting spirit had faded away without a trace. This was completely different from the war he encountered. At this point, he had lost countless lives without even understanding how many people there were in the Ming army. This was completely different from the war he understood. Yangang, which seemed to be a small land, smashed every effort into shattering.

Qin Li was also silent. He encouraged the Tiger Dynasty to fight to the east, with the purpose of making both sides fight to the death, preferably both sides suffer losses, and it is not simply to let the soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty die.

Such a war is no different from unilateral massacre.

"How else can I fight this battle?" Mattus's words already had a desire to retreat.

Qin Li lowered his head and thought hard. After a while, he raised his head: "Duke, have you ever thought about it? In Yangang, the Ming army is actually not many. They are just relying on the magical weapons in their hands. If they had enough people, they would have attacked them long ago. With such weapons, how could our army resist?"

"You mean?"

"They have a small number of people, so they can only compete with us by geography. This powerful weapon has never been used before. I'm afraid it's because they don't have many equipment and can only be used to deal with our catapults. The commander of the Mingren is an amazing guy. He calculated that we would use catapults and crossbows, so he concentrated all his powerful weapons on our side, because only in this side can we arrange weapons like catapults. And there are definitely not other sides."

Mattus's eyes lit up, "You mean, only the front is the strongest side of their defense? But the other sides are too dangerous and are not conducive to our efforts to expand our troops?"

"The terrain is dangerous and relative." Qin Li gritted his teeth: "Duke, at this time, he has advanced but not retreated, and he can no longer have any idea of ​​preserving his strength. The entire army will attack from all directions. With our number of people, we will use the sea of ​​people to swallow them up. If we can occupy Yangang and seize these magical weapons, think about it, in the future, who can be your opponent to return to the Western Continent and the Tiger Dynasty?"

"Snatch these magical weapons?" Mattus narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, you can seize them, or you can still capture some craftsmen who make this weapon." Qin Li emphasized.

Mattus took a deep breath. Not only was greed the upper hand, but at this time, he had no way out. He was facing the same dilemma as Dancy, and his logistics supply would have been insufficient. If he could not go ashore and could not grab enough supplies, his soldiers would even have a problem with eating.

"I know the location of several islands near Yangang. There are some indigenous people on it. The Grand Duke can send a few teams to sweep it out. I think there will be some supplements to military rations." Qin Li suggested.

"Okay, just do what you said. No matter how much casualties are, if we can seize these weapons, we will not lose." Mattus was even thinking that if he occupied Yangang, seized a large number of such magical weapons, and then grabbed enough food, he could set sail and return.

After seeing the Ming army's combat effectiveness, Mattus felt a little uncomfortable. Yangang was just a small place, just a small place, and Manila and Mantiya were all big places. Moreover, under Qin Li's introduction, those places were the places where the Ming people focused on management. A transit station in Yangang caused unexpected losses to his army. In those two places, once Dancy and Stenson encountered the main force of the Ming people, would they still be able to go back?

If they can't go back and they go back, then who else can be their opponent in the Tiger Dynasty? A gentleman takes revenge for ten years, and it's not too late to come to Dongfang when he has enough strength.

Mattus, who had made up his mind, had no idea of ​​retaining his power. After a command, more troop transport ships began to move. This time he was about to land on all sides of Yangang Port at the same time. Even if some places were not suitable for landing, even if the troop transport ship was stranded on the shallows, he brazenly issued an order to move forward.

The war at Yangang has finally entered a fierce scene. As Qin Li expected, the biggest problem of Yangang is that it lacks troops. For this reason, Yu Rongguang even had to give up most of the defenses on the periphery and shrink his troops. When the soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty on all sides launched an attack at any cost like a tide, the hand-to-hand combat finally began to break out on a small scale in different places. There were always some small groups of Tiger Dynasty soldiers able to break through the Ming army's firepower net and attack the defensive positions.

The casualties began to appear, and it was getting more and more. After a day of battle, Yu Rong ordered the first defensive position to be abandoned, and the entire army once again shrank inward. It seemed that the territory was smaller, but the density and intensity of the defense were greater. At the same time, the reserve team also began to replenish the team.

While Yu Rongguang ordered the contraction of the front line, he also released a communication hawk. During the fierce battle, no one noticed that a hawk rose into the air in Yangang and flew into the vast sea.

A day later, the Harrier Eagle landed on the flagship of a fleet sailing in the sea. Fleet commander Hailancha took off the letter tied to the Harrier Eagle's legs, and after it was unfolded, a smile appeared on his face. The opportunity for him finally came.

Mattus had already put all his troops into land combat, and his fleet that had been hiding at sea for a long time can finally show its strength.

"Start, target Yangang!" Hailancha waved his hand, and more than 30 warships changed their course and rushed towards Yangang. Hailancha was a warrior affiliated to the Manila Navy and one of the maritime generals supported by Chen Ci. Now he is commanding a mixed fleet, including warships from several island countries in the Manila waters. Unlike in the past, their warships are now equipped with the Thunderbolt Fire and Catastrophes eliminated from the Ming warships.
