"Dang!" A ball of sparks suddenly appeared from the bow of the Zhiyuan ship. When the sea breeze blew away the smoke, people were shocked to find that the thick pure steel ram had been blown up like a twist.

"Fuck!" Li Xiu was shocked. He didn't expect the artillery fire on the shore to be so sharp. With such power, it was definitely not an original Franco machine cannon. If it were a Franco machine cannon shell, it would be ejected directly.

Who are the people on the island?

"Cast the hot air balloon!" Li Xiu gave the order, and the hot air balloon that was supposed to take off before the battle took off.

The hot air balloon needs to be filled with hot air to take off, and this process takes about more than an hour. Li Xiu was unwilling to wait for more than an hour, so he fell into the current passivity.

The thick smoke from the burning five-masted ship almost obscured the entire Temasek Pier.

The Japanese flat-head boat was riddled with holes by cannonballs, and the upper deck was almost smashed. The deck was full of corpses, and the blood was sticky and slippery. There were wailing people everywhere, and the Japanese warriors were struggling in a pool of blood. The living people

Lying down on the deck, he took the flintlock gun in his hand and shot into the jungle.

As for whether it can hit anyone, only God knows.

The two flat-headed boats finally docked at the dock, and the Japanese warriors howled and rushed off the warships.

"Shell! Shell the jungle facing the dock!" A signal came from the hot air balloon high up, and Li Xiu immediately ordered the artillery to shoot into the jungle.

According to Li Xiu's experience, there must be enemy artillery observation posts at the edge of the jungle. In order to convey the message to the artillery position as quickly as possible, the artillery position will never be too far away.

"Bazooka coverage and shooting!" The adjutant went to give the order, and Li Xiu suddenly said.

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, and the rockets covered the area and fired. This would consume a lot of ammunition. Once the ammunition was used up, they would have to go to Guangzhou to get supplies.

"Do you want me to repeat it again?" Li Xiu looked at the adjutant with sharp eyes.

"No!" the adjutant hurriedly went out to deliver the order.

Following the signalman's flag, the arsenal ship came up. Twelve twin-mounted rocket launchers raised their barrels, and the herald gave the order to start firing. The arsenal ship immediately fell into a cloud of smoke, and its hull quickly slid backwards.

Even the side of the ship began to tilt!

The heavy rockets hit the jungle with a whistling sound, and countless vegetation and soil were lifted up into the air. Huge explosions came one after another, and the shock waves overlapped, and the entire Temasek was shaking when viewed through the telescope.

Countless smoke pillars converged into a huge smoke pillar, stretching from the ground to the sky. This was truly a link from the sky to the sky. The shock wave formed a huge gust of wind, and Li Xiu felt like the glass of the bridge was about to melt from a few miles away.

The heat twisted and steamed, tangled together like twists, and ignited everything that could burn.

The Japanese were unlucky when they just landed. Some were blown up by the shock wave and fell into the sea, while others were shaken to death by the huge explosion. In just an instant, nearly a thousand casualties were caused.

Listening to the news from the hot air balloon, Li Xiu frowned. He knew the power of the rockets. Although they could be called extremely powerful,... they didn't seem to be that powerful.

The angle had been calculated when shooting, and the nearest point of explosion was one mile away. How could it cause so much damage to the landing troops, with even the hull of the flat-bottomed boat being torn to pieces by the impact?

"Second Master! Do you think there is a possibility that something exploded in that place?" Chen Laohu came over in a sly manner.

"Suicide? You mean... they also have rocket launchers, and they are ready to go?" Li Xiu's heart sank when the suspicion in his heart was revealed.

It would be better if it was a mortar or a long-barreled gun. If there was a rocket launcher, it would be different. This thing hits a surface light, and one shot can cover a large area.

Although the landing fleet is scattered, if it is bombarded with rockets, one or two of them may hit the target. Even if an armored ship like Zhiyuan is hit by a heavy rocket, it is not a joke, let alone

Those wooden sailing warships, as long as they are hit by one shot, the power of the explosion can directly turn the warships into firewood.

If that was the case, the fleet he led had escaped disaster. The enemy just wanted to lure the warships closer to the coast, and then use a salvo of rocket launchers to severely damage them. As for the Japanese warriors who landed, they didn't pay attention at all.

"Bring me Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo." Li Xiu looked through the binoculars. The entire Temasek Pier was already a sea of ​​fire. It is estimated that not many Japanese warriors who successfully landed survived.

After a while, Zuo Liangyu and Li Dingguo came to Li Xiu's flagship in a small boat.

"Time is tight, I won't say more. You immediately take your troops and move ten miles east and west respectively. Then land there! The Japanese will land in front of Temasek Pier, and you will meet here!" Li Xiu made a gesture with his hands.

Hugging posture.

"No!" After a series of fierce battles, Li Dingguo and Zuo Liangyu had long been unable to bear it. Now seeing Li Xiu's gesture, they immediately became excited. This was to cast a net to catch fish, proving that Temasek had a fierce battle.

Soldiers' helmets are dyed with human blood, and military merit is the only criterion for judging a soldier's worth.

Now that there is military merit to be gained, these two people are naturally happy.

"You should pay attention. The enemy army should be the yellow-haired people from Europe. The weapons in their hands are similar to ours. I am sending Japanese people here to attract their attention from the front. You must quickly insert yourself behind the enemy lines and remember to capture a few

I want to know who they are and how they have the same weapons as us."

"No! Don't worry, Second Master, we will definitely fight the battle well." The two of them saluted together, got off the boat and got into the small boat.

"Move the hot air balloon forward and carefully observe the enemy's movements."

"promise!"

Tokugawa Seimei's heart was bleeding. It had not even been a morning. The Japanese army had lost more than 1,800 people. It was not that they had never fought fierce battles, but this battle was too tragic. No wonder Li Xiao gave the Japanese such a big blow.

The benefits, his mother's benefits are all paid for with human life.

Li Xiu's order came again, allowing the Japanese to continue attacking Temasek Pier.

Today's Temasek Pier has been completely submerged in thick smoke. Even along the pier, vegetation within five miles is burning. The smoke and dust cover the sky and the sun, and the hot air balloons in front cannot be seen clearly. What is the situation on the pier?

how.

Mouri Kogoro was holding a samurai sword in his hand, and there were only a hundred men left around him. In the explosion just now, the shock wave directly blew away the shipbuilding that was riddled with holes. Fortunately, the ship built by the Mouri family was not bad.

It is strong and the hull is not damaged like the Tokugawa ships.

With the remaining men of his own, Kogoro Mori boarded the Temasek Pier.

Burning stones, charcoal-like corpses, coconut trees with billowing smoke, the scene in front of you is like hell. There are no living people, or to be precise, no living creatures. The big explosion just now, not even the seagulls in the sky can

Fortunately, there were many dead seagulls floating on the sea, and there were even fish that had been bombed ashore on the beach.

After traveling for more than a mile with difficulty, Mouri Kogoro saw a wall made of stones. It was probably hidden in the jungle just now and could not be seen at all from the outside.

There are hundreds of corpses behind the wall, all of them are European yellow-haired people. Only a few corpses were burnt, and more corpses were bleeding from their orifices. It was obvious at a glance that they were shocked to death. Walk deeper along the stone wall, and you will see the little Maori.

Wulang even saw a stone bunker.

There were only a few shooting holes in this bunker, and there was no sound inside.

He waved his hand and his men rushed in.

There was no sound of fighting or resistance, and Mouri Kogoro followed and walked in.

The people inside were the same as those outside, with big eyes and blood flowing out of their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. It looked very scary.

The guns of these people aroused the interest of Kogoro Maori. This was a kind of gun he had never seen before. It was somewhat similar to the guns used by the people of the Ming Dynasty, but it was not exactly the same. He picked up the gun and gestured, pointing it at the people in the distance.

Stonewall pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" A puff of smoke came out of the wall. When I walked over, I found that the bullet was actually nailed into the stone. I lay down on the shooting hole and looked out. The entire beach was within the shooting range. If I had landed just now, I would definitely have been hit by a bullet.

It was sieved. Pulling the bolt to eject the cartridge case, Kogoro Mori checked it and found that there were yellow bullets inside.

"Baga!" Mouri Kogoro picked up a gun and ordered to his men: "Pick up their guns and look through the bullets on their bodies."

Mouri Kogoro had seen the guns of the Ming people and knew that their bullets were fixed ammunition. As long as they were stuffed into the magazine, they could be fired continuously. This was a good thing. There was no such firearm in the entire Japanese country.

This advantage must not be taken advantage of by those from the Tokugawa family.

After hearing the order, the subordinates picked up the guns next to the corpses. Although those people were beaten to death, most of the guns were not damaged. A lot of bullets were also found on the corpses. Everyone had dozens of rounds in their waistbands.

It was falling heavily inside.

Leading his men deeper, Mouri Kogoro discovered a mortar position.

More than twenty mortars were staggering here and there, and there were still unexploded mortar shells on the ground. Kogoro Mori was overjoyed, mortars are a good thing. Japan bought such iron pipes in the Ming Dynasty for a big price. Look at this cannon

, seems to be lighter than those of the Ming people.

The excited Mouri Kogoro immediately ordered people to collect mortars and collect all the unexploded shells. He took more than thirty people and continued to move forward.

A few dozen meters further forward is the cannon position. This kind of thing with a long barrel is the culprit that destroyed the ship tower of his own warship. Kogoro Mouri has never seen such a cannon, and it seems that there is no such thing in the Ming Dynasty.

.There are similar ones on those iron-clad warships, but the barrels are much thicker than this one.

The artillery position was relatively miserable. Only two or three of the ten artillery pieces were intact. They were still half-buried by the soil. There was a big pit next to it, which was as deep as a person. It was probably caused by a rocket that hit the place.

The gunners died worse than those people. Several of them were broken by shrapnel. If you touch it with a samurai sword, your fingers will move slightly. There are human legs hanging on the uncle, and intestines are spread on the grass. People with half a head,

Lying on the cannon wheel, his brains were thrown far away. After looking carefully for a long time, Mouri Kogoro and his men could not find anyone who could breathe.

The further Mouri Kogoro walked, the more hairy he felt. He had really saved his life just now. If it hadn't been for the rockets fired from the warship, he would have been broken into pieces by the shells. With a curious heart, he continued with his men on an adventure.

Go inside.

After walking about a mile, everyone stopped. They stood blankly like wooden and clay sculptures, unable to believe their eyes.

In front of me is a huge crater, conservatively estimated to be five or six meters deep. It is more than a hundred meters in diameter. It is so black that not even a single weed can be seen. Occasionally, some metal fragments can be seen, but they cannot be seen from the appearance.

Find out what the heck this is.

Corpses...! I didn’t see any, let alone human corpses. There wasn’t even a bird corpse! There was just a weird big hole on the ground, and it’s probably not a problem to bury thousands of people.

Mouri Kogoro finally did not dare to move forward. There was a dense jungle in front of him. God knew what else was waiting for him there. There were only a hundred or so people, but they still occupied the dock and were optimistic about the spoils. This was the spoils of the Mouri family, but they could not

Let the Tokugawa family take advantage of it.

"Hurry up and hide all these cannons in the woods over there. Pack up all the guns and put them in the woods over there. Also, collect the bullets on the corpses. Don't miss a single bullet!" Back to the dock

, Mouri Kogoro saw people from the Tokugawa family swimming ashore one after another.

He didn't care about those who were almost exhausted, and just ordered his men to clean the battlefield as soon as possible. It was his luck to pick up so many trophies. Kogoro Mouri was not willing to share even a bullet with Tokugawa Seimei!
