Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 760

[Chapter 760 An eye for an eye!]

“Hey, this Changqi is really good looking. The information from the Fourth Academy should be good. It’s a rich city.”

While marching towards Changqi City, Pan Chang divided the 30,000 troops into four divisions.

Among them, 10,000 soldiers and horses were deployed in the south city on the front, 10,000 soldiers and horses in the north city, and 5,000 soldiers and horses were deployed in the east and west gates, surrounding Changqi City.

This time they didn’t use the tactic of encircling three and missing one, but they wanted to deal with the Japanese people severely.

The north and south are arranged in this way so that the Dongying people from the north and the south cannot look at each other.

When all the troops and horses were in place, the artillerymen set up artillery positions and forts with sandbags.

At this moment, Pan Chang looked at the tower at the south gate.

Unlike Dasong’s city, although Dasong’s city also has towers, it only has two floors.

But Dongying’s city tower is very tall, with five or six floors.

At the moment, the corridors of the city towers are full of soldiers with flintlock guns.

This kind of city tower not only has the function of defending against the enemy, but also has the function of watchtower.

However, this kind of city tower is obviously a legacy of the cold weapon period.

Because for them, these towers have no effect.

Putting away the binoculars, he said to the artillery general: “This tower is too obtrusive, blow him up!” In

response, the artillery general left and returned to the artillery position.

This time they built the artillery position 500 meters away from Changqi City.

With Japan’s artillery, their artillery could not destroy the sandbag walls built by the artillery.

The artillery of the Marine Corps can see carefully and destroy the target accurately.

Then, a rifled field gun adjusted its height and aimed the muzzle at the tower.

“Boom!” There was a loud noise, and the shells of the rifled gun flew straight to the Changqi Tower.

There was another “boom”, and the flower bomb exploded on the tower, and sawdust splashed from the tower immediately, and flames and smoke rose from the tower.

At this time, Naoto Mawa was observing the entire battlefield on the top floor of the tower, and the explosion occurred on the fifth floor.

The sudden shelling made him sit down on the ground in fright.

Although he is a feudal lord, since the Watanabe case ruled Japan, the feudal lord is no longer a feudal vassal, but a civil servant in charge of various branches.

And Changqi City has never been attacked by foreign forces.

Facing the war for the first time, he was naturally at a loss.

Others are not much better off.

The explosion happened at such a close distance, they were all startled, and their legs were a little weak.

But this is just the beginning, after the first cannon fire.

The artillery on the Yanzhou artillery position seemed to wake up, and the roar continued.

Before Masheng Naoto and the generals around him recovered from the first round of explosions, they saw more than a dozen black spots flying towards the tower like lightning.

He tried to run away, but his legs were no longer in control.

At this moment, these black dots fell on different positions of the tower.

“Boom boom boom…” Explosions followed one after another.

The whole tower seemed to have an earthquake.

Ma Shengzhi was terrified, he felt that the tower seemed to collapse.

The instinct to survive made him use all his strength to get up and run down, but suddenly, he was knocked down again.

It turned out that a shell penetrated the floor from bottom to top, exposing half of the shell head, blocking his running path.

Seeing this, Ma Shengzhi was stunned, but at this moment of stupefaction, the shell exploded suddenly, and the flames completely engulfed him.

It also seems that because of the explosion, the entire Changqi City Tower made a “creak” and “creak” sound, and then collapsed.

The smoke and dust from the collapse of the tower almost covered the entire south wall.

“I really can’t stand it.” Pan Chang glanced at his mouth.

He always remembered what Zhou Yi said to him.

Over the years, the Dongying people have committed a lot of crimes along the coast of Dasong, massacred the people along the coast, and looted their property, even babies who were a few months old, not to mention the women who were robbed and abused.

“At this moment, hit hard!” Thinking of this, Pan Chang’s face turned frosty, and he gave the order for an all-out attack.

He could tell that the Dongying people in the city tower had a high status in Changqi, even the highest officials and generals in Changqi city.

At this moment, if they don’t die, they have to be buried in the city tower, unable to command the battle.

Without a group of dragons headed down, Changqi City will be even more vulnerable.

At his command, rifle guns and howitzers roared simultaneously.

Howitzers dropped lime bombs on the city wall.

Nancheng was already covered in smoke and dust, and in an instant it was even shrouded in clouds and mist.

A wave of lime bombs was hurled, and the howitzers hurled cannonballs.

There was a fire in the white smoke.

While they were attacking, the Japanese artillery also began to fight back.

It’s just that because the line of sight was blocked, the artillery fire of the Dongying people appeared to be scattered and without targets.

It can’t do any damage to soldiers distributed in skirmish lines.

The facts were just as Pan Chang expected.

At this moment, the Dongying soldiers in Nancheng are in an extremely miserable situation.

The collapse of the city tower killed some of the Japanese soldiers.

Lime bombs caused many soldiers to injure their eyes and lose their combat effectiveness.

The shells in turn inflicted heavy casualties on the remaining soldiers.

Moreover, the entire city wall was shrouded in mist, and it was impossible to fight back at all.

The entire city wall was filled with the screams of Japanese soldiers.

At the same time as the cannons fired in the southern city, the other three walls were also attacked.

The Japanese soldiers on other walls could not come to support at all, which made Nancheng even more difficult.

“Siege the city!” Pan Zhang immediately realized that the time had come to attack the city due to the disorderly bombardment of the Dongpu soldiers, and he immediately gave the order.

At this time, the soldiers shot at the top of the city to cover the first batch of grenadiers who rushed out.

Arriving at the foot of the south city, the grenadiers threw grenades on the city wall all the time.

Continuous explosions sounded continuously, and the flames from the explosion enveloped the southern city wall.

He threw all the grenades he was carrying, and the grenadier team withdrew.

At this time, the soldiers put on their bayonets and rushed towards the city wall with their ladders.

“Kill!” The

ladder climbed up the wall, and the marines screamed and climbed up the wall.

At this time, the smoke on the city wall had gradually dissipated.

After climbing up the city wall, they jumped down with bayonets in hand, ready to fight hand-to-hand with the Japanese soldiers.

But I saw the corpses of Japanese soldiers everywhere on the city wall, and the white lime and the dust from the collapse of the tower covered the corpses.

This scene did not shake the soldiers’ will to fight. They stepped on the corpses of Japanese soldiers, preparing to occupy the city wall and open the city gate at the same time.

“Xi Nei!” When the Marine Corps soldiers were marching, suddenly the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the city wall rolled, and some Japanese soldiers who had been under the pressure got up and rushed towards the Marine Corps soldiers.

It turned out that these Japanese soldiers used the corpses of their companions as meat shields to escape the explosion of the howitzers.

Although the soldiers of the Marine Corps are not affiliated with the royal army, the two armies often exchange battlefield experience.

For this kind of situation, the royal army has experienced a lot.

So, they are always vigilant.

As soon as the Japanese soldiers rushed over, they stabbed with their bayonets.

The remaining Japanese soldiers were quickly cleaned up.

At this time, the soldiers looked into Changqi City with torch-like eyes.
