Although there was no target, the musketeers and lancers did not stop attacking, but continued to fire at the top of the city, not to kill the enemy, but to make them feel scared and provide cover for the blaster.

With such a loud noise, it is difficult for them to find that the blasting hands approach the city wall. As long as they approach the city gate and then place the explosive bag, the city gate with the weakest protection will inevitably be exploded.

However, they did not plan to enter the city. It was now dark and there was no benefit to go in and fight street battles with the Japanese pirates. At that time, the Japanese pirates would set up defenses behind the city gate, and they could directly attack the Japanese pirates behind.

Kong Youde was watching the battle comfortably from behind and was in a very happy mood. Such a battle was really cool. The big enemy had no power to fight back. This was the firepower advantage.

Not only him, but also those who were organized by Zhang Yang, who were originally affiliated with Chengshan Guard, were also very relieved when they saw this situation. These fierce Japanese pirates had no power to fight back when they encountered the Tiance Army. It was right for them to surrender to the Tiance Army.

As the easternmost end of the Shandong Peninsula, Chengshanwei is closest to Japan, the old nest of the Japanese pirates, and is one of the areas with the most severe Japanese pirates. Especially during the Jiajing period, although Japanese pirates came every day, when the Japanese pirates were at the worst, almost every month, Japanese pirates tried to land and go ashore to loot.

As a coastal defense center, their main task is to prevent these Japanese pirates, so they must deal with these Japanese pirates.

In the past thirty years, I have hardly seen Japanese pirates many times, but most of their fathers and parents have fought with Japanese pirates, and many people have died in the hands of Japanese pirates. Now that Japanese pirates are coming to seize their homes, how can they not be angry?

However, their strength is limited, and they all know the strength of the Japanese pirates. They can't beat the Japanese pirates at all, and even if they are angry, it's useless.

Now that the Tiance Army can suppress the Japanese pirates, they mean that their safety is guaranteed, and they no longer have to worry about the Japanese pirates attacking them in the future, and they also give them land. As for whether the Tiance Army is a rebel, they are not worried at all.

The Tiance Army could defeat such a fierce Japanese pirate. I heard that in Zhaoyuan not long ago, General Kong personally led an army of less than 10,000 people. In one battle, he defeated the 40,000 soldiers and horses of the court, and only more than 10,000 people fled back. With such strength, the court would not be afraid of any soldiers and horses.

Gradually, they had a little resistance to the Tiance Army, but now they are completely gone, and they are more trust and dependence.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, a huge roar came, as if something had exploded. The guards were shocked, but Kong Youde was still watching there calmly, and they couldn't help but feel relieved.

The loud bang was actually caused by an explosive pack in Dongcheng Gate. Although the amount of explosive packing used for combat was only ten kilograms, they carried a lot of them. Chu Zhongtian directly ordered and stuffed twenty in at one time, and the power was still impressive.

The city gate is the most fragile place on the entire city wall. Not only was the city gate exploded, but the city tower above also collapsed. A few Japanese pirates hiding in the city tower were buried alive, and even if they were not dead, they were not far from death.

The Japanese pirates who were originally hiding behind the city wall were also affected by this blast, and those who survived hurriedly fled.

"Boom..."

In the blink of an eye, another roar came from the direction from the door.

Looking from the city, I saw only a dazzling fire, and then a large fog of smoke rose up.

When the city wall was formed, it was torn into pieces under a huge explosion and fell from the sky. Compared to the explosion at the East Gate, this time it came more violently.

The person in charge of the South Gate was the general manager of Mao Chengfu. When the Battle of Zhaoyuan, he had seen the lethality of those landmines to the enemy, so this time, he did not only use twenty explosive packs, but fifty ones.

The power is even greater, and at the same time, the number of Japanese pirates on the city wall is also greater, so there are more corpses mixed in. Some of them are even blown to the sky and fall down into pieces.

At this moment, the Japanese pirates' chief general, Matsushima, also realized that something was wrong. Although he had not witnessed these explosions with his own eyes, only gunpowder could make such a huge movement.

He experienced a gunpowder explosion accident. At that time, a barrel filled with gunpowder exploded, and all the dozen people around him died. However, the explosion was not as good as the two times. There were only about twenty kilograms of gunpowder in that gunpowder barrel. When the two explosions here, at least two or three hundred kilograms of gunpowder had such a strong effect.

It is obvious that the east gate and the south gate have been blown up by the enemy, and the soldiers defending the two city gates are probably already in danger at this moment, so it will take a long time to get in.

And there are even more serious situations. Since the enemy can do this at the East Gate and South Gate, will it also do this at the West Gate?

Now the enemy's artillery is still raging, and there are also those musketeers with extremely high accuracy. They basically die if they show their heads. The weapon that just went up disappeared in less than five breaths, and they could only be killed by the enemy.

Now the city has become a forbidden area, and only death can be achieved when going up. If the enemy piles gunpowder at Ximen, they will have no ability to stop it.

Not long after, soldiers from the South Gate walked over in a staggering manner, covered in dust, and many people had wounds on their bodies, like walking corpses, with empty eyes and no response to their words, and were just wandering around.

Obviously, they have been fooled by the explosion just now. Such a loud explosion can be heard in Ximen. The soldiers near the explosion point will only receive a greater impact.

"Sir, are we going to rush in?" asked a warrior next to Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian waved his hand and said, "No hurry, General said, after exploding the city gate, you can get two more incense sticks to enter the city! You all stare at me carefully, don't let the enemy run out!"

Kong Youde's arrangement was to give the Japanese pirates time to retreat. I believe that in a while, the navy led by Xu Wenyi will appear in the Japanese pirates' vision. They suffered considerable losses and the city gate was destroyed, so they would definitely not think about defending the enemy.

The purpose of this is to avoid major casualties. The Japanese pirates must have prepared many defensive measures in the city, which is an issue that any qualified general needs to consider, especially when the enemy is strong.

It was so dark that if the Tiance Army wanted to act, it had to light a torch or a lantern to advance, while the enemy was ambushing in the darkness and killing the soldiers entering the city, which was very unfavorable to the Tiance Army.

For Kong Youde, these veterans who have experienced the war are his treasures, and he is unwilling to have unnecessary casualties. Anyway, victory is right in front of him, so it is only a little less casualties.

Perhaps because he saw that the Tiance army did not enter the city, these Japanese pirates were a little relieved, but they still stood behind the ruins of the city gate to block the enemy's attack.

However, if the Tiance army does not enter the city, it does not mean that they do not attack. The musket soldiers kept shooting at the gap in the city wall, and the enemy was there. Anyway, it would be right to attack. If you are lucky enough to kill one or two, wouldn't it be wonderful?

"Sir, the pirate ship is back! I'm preparing to dock!" Just as the situation was getting worse and worse, a Japanese pirate came to Songdao Water to report.

Upon hearing this news, Matsushima Mizu and Mori Kogoro were in the same mood, and they instantly turned sadness into joy, knowing that they had a way out.

However, it was not like Kogoro Mouri directly took people out of the city, Matsushima Mizu was a more cautious person, and he obtained more information than Kogoro Mouri, and he was a little uncertain about the clearance in front of him.

Guo Huaiyi and the others were all dispatched to encircle and annihilate the Tiance Army naval forces who entered the port to attack. Moreover, the distance between Hailu Island and Chengshanwei was less than twenty miles. Although they did not see the battle process, they also knew that there was a naval battle in that area.

As for the battle results, he didn't know because no one came to tell him, so he could only draw conclusions through his own analysis.

He knew the strength of the Tiance Army. In less than a day, he recovered Qianqianhusuo City. The seven or eight hundred soldiers he sent were completely lost. Moreover, in the past two days, they have successively taken down all the surrounding cities, and none of them ran back alive. It can be said that they were completely destroyed.

Since the army of the Tiance Army is so powerful, the navy should not be much weaker. What if the navy of the Tiance Army is involved, wouldn’t they fall into the trap? So there is no need to confirm the identity of these warships.

Immediately, he ordered someone to go to Malan Bay to confirm the identity of these pirates. If they were the enemy navy's warships, they would not have any good endings when they leaned on them rashly. They could only end up with themselves. They still had some cover in the city, and there was no cover outside the city, and they could not resist the enemy's artillery.

Soon, a team of five Japanese soldiers arrived at the dock in Malan Bay to confirm the identity of these warships.

"Maor Maori! Guy is the villain!" As soon as he arrived at the bow of the boat, the group quickly knelt down.

They saw Kogoro Mori was sitting upright at the bow of the boat, with several guards standing with swords beside him, while Kogoro Mori himself stared at them with a serious face.

At this time, a guard of Kogoro Mori came forward and said in Japanese, "Maor Mori has an order. The enemy is strong. Our army temporarily retreats to the Danish Island to seek funeral! He ordered the Matsushima Water to lead all the troops to gather at the port and retreat by boat!"

"See the order!" Several Japanese pirates answered quickly when they heard this order.

Since Lord Maori came in person, there must be no problem. After answering, he hurried back to the city.

This Maori Kogoro is real, and his guard is also real, but the former is already a corpse, and the latter has at least three guns behind him, so he can only say it according to Xu Wenyi's meaning.

This is actually a method that Xu Wenyi came up with. Although it was a re-use of the same trick, the current situation was slightly different from the situation in Jinghaiwei, because it was night and the Japanese pirates who fought the Shanghai pirate flag could not be seen, so they would definitely rely on it to confirm their identity.

Xu Wenyi used the body of Kogoro Mori, supported it with a rack, pretending to be sitting upright on the top of the city. Then, from the Japanese prisoners, he found several Kogoro Mori's guards, pretending that they were still guarding Kogoro Mori.

After the Japanese pirates in the city approached, they asked these guards to lure the Japanese pirates out of the city according to Xu Wenyi's instructions. These Japanese prisoners did not dare to act rashly, and could only do so honestly. Since they did not commit suicide by suicide after Maori Kogoro's death, they naturally wanted to survive.

In the current situation, even if they help their companions in the city, there will be no effect. Even if they don’t leave the city, they will still be in a failure. In order to get better, it’s better to do it honestly.

When it comes to such a command, there is no need for the general to speak in person, and it doesn’t matter if Kogoro Mouri cannot speak.

The real general and guards had no doubts at all. How could the Japanese pirates sent by Songdao Shui be deceived?

Soon, these Japanese pirates returned safely and expressed the meaning of Kogoro Maori.

Since their master and guards were on the ship, and those ships were indeed pirate ships, the master also ordered them to evacuate by boat, he naturally did not hesitate.

So he immediately gathered his troops and headed towards the north city gate. In less than half a quarter of an hour, he gathered most of the troops that could be summoned and then left the city from the north gate.

As the Japanese pirates left the city one after another, the news was sent to Kong Youde's side. He decisively ordered everyone to enter the city.

At this time, there should be not many Japanese pirates in the city. Before that, when Zhang Donghe entered the city early, the Japanese pirates could not gather all their troops when they wanted to retreat, and finally fought a round of street fighting.

This time, they did not enter the city. Even if the Japanese pirates had already arranged it, they could calmly gather their troops. Even if there were some remaining enemies, they would not pose any threat to the Tiance Army.

After the Tiance army entered the city, it did not encounter any resistance. The Japanese pirates had basically withdrawn and could not leave the car. They were injured or confused by the previous blast, so there was no combat power.

"Boom boom boom..."

When Ce's army headed towards the North Gate that day, a series of roars sounded.

Obviously, the navy warships fired the cannons.

Not long after, Kong Youde also came to the north city tower and watched the spectacular scene outside the city with a telescope.

Malan Bay is only about two miles away from the north city wall. It can be seen clearly through the telescope. The navy warships on the sea were constantly flashing with light, followed by a huge roar.

Every shotgun falls will surely harvest the lives of Japanese pirates. At this time, nearly one-third of these Japanese pirates have been eliminated.

Under the illumination of the torches, they seemed so confused and helpless that they couldn't understand why this was happening.

Especially Matsushima Mizu, like Kogoro Mouri, he has not died yet and has been lucky enough to have snatched every round of artillery attacks. However, the doubts in his eyes were even bigger than Kogoro Mouri at the time.

He could see on the bow of the boat, Kogoro Mori was sitting upright, looking ahead, with no emotion in his eyes, as if everything that was happening in front of him had nothing to do with him.

Matsushima Water did not escape, but continued to move forward. He wanted to get on the boat and asked Kogoro Mouri why he was doing this.

However, his good luck came to an end. A shot hit his chest. He fell helplessly, his body was hurting and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

Just as his eyes were about to close, he found that Kogoro Mouri had also fallen down. Matsushima Water was shocked to find that there were two big holes on the back of Kogoro Mouri's head and back. He seemed to understand something, but all this had nothing to do with him.

The death of Songdo Shui does not mean that the disaster of the Japanese pirates ended. The artillery on the station ship was still plundering. Our soldiers at the bottom were constantly running away. They fled in scattered areas and soon ran out of the range of shotguns.

The shelling stopped, but these Japanese pirates still could not escape the order of death or capture. The Tiance army on the west and east sides blocked their way, and the north gate was closed again, and they had no way to escape. In this case, surrender became the only feasible option.

Seeing the Japanese pirates surrender continuously, Kong Youde's mouth became increasingly curved, and finally he laughed loudly.
Chapter completed!
