Chapter 488

Murano Chunming is leading the muskets to the castle of michila.

Although the shelling of the fleet just now caused casualties, these casualties were insignificant to him. As long as he occupied Ryukyu Island, it was a unsinkable warship. Compared with this, the loss of some warships was nothing at all.

Many years ago, he suggested that shinchang Yamada occupy Ryukyu Island, take Ryukyu Island as a base to control the coastal routes of Dayu, and rob the coastal cities of Dayu, but his proposal was rejected.

Because at that time, the Dutchman was still a noble guest in the eyes of Nobuta Yamada, but now everything has changed, and the Dutch betrayal also proves that he was right at that time.

However, for him, it is not too late, the occupation of Ryukyu Island is still a wonderful plan.

Walking through the woods along the coast, he ordered his men to release a carrier pigeon when he saw michila castle on the high mountain from a distance.

The carrier pigeon was released and immediately flew to michila castle. The carrier pigeon was trained to convey the message to michila castle.

At this time, Sakai in michila castle is waiting for the news of Murano Chunming. When he sees a white carrier pigeon falling, he is ecstatic.

"Murano Chunming is here. Now it's time for us to show the Dutch and Dayu the color." Sakai exclaimed excitedly.

A group of soldiers heard the speech and cried out excitedly, "meet! Fight

In the frenzy, the soldiers in the castle quickly gathered outside the gate, and more than 10000 Musketeers lined up outside the gate to prepare for the war.

Outside the fortress, Xiao Ming and Claire found the Japanese pirates. All the Japanese pirates in the castle rushed to the outside of the city and lined up in a neat line outside the city.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming asked, "don't tell me that you Dutch have trained Japanese pirates to fight with firecrackers."

"I'm sorry, that's true. We did train the Japanese on how to use firearms." Clare said very sorry.

Xiao Mingzhen has the impulse to chop Claire to death. In modern times, Japan is also supported by the West.

But now is not the time to worry about these things, Xiao Ming said, "the Japanese pirates have reinforcements on the shore, and now there are Japanese pirates coming out of the redoubt. They are ready to cooperate with us from inside and outside."

"Sakai is a very cunning enemy. He has been waiting for reinforcements." Clare said, "we can deal with the reinforcements coming ashore. Don't you know if your Highness's army can deal with the Japanese pirates in the bastions? I doubt if you can defeat these fierce pirates

"Count Clare, are you scorning my army?" Xiao Ming is on fire. He also knows whether Claire is deliberate or admonishing.

"I'm sorry, it's not that I despise his Highness's army. It's just that according to Sakai, the Japanese pirates can often defeat the army of Dayu, so I'm worried that we will lose Ryukyu after all if the battle fails." Clare's face is dignified. Now he is beginning to regret that he put all his eggs in one basket, because Japan is also powerful.

"Worry about yourself." Xiao Ming curled his lips. He could lose to anyone, but he couldn't lose to the Japanese pirates. Then he said, "we'll give you our back."

After that, Xiao Ming immediately asked Lu Fei to assemble his army.

The Japanese pirates gathered outside the fortress, and Xiao Ming's army also needed to gather because of the scattered encirclement. At this time, both sides were racing against time to complete the preparations.

War was about to start. Luo Xin immediately took the artillery to find a high place to set up artillery positions. Half an hour later, the troops of both sides assembled in front of the fort, and the war was imminent.

If we say that the war with barbarians is a war of hot weapons and cold weapons, this time Xiao Ming is facing a war of hot weapons and hot weapons. Although the Japanese used the firearm, it still can't be ignored.

After all, muskets and flint guns are just fired in different ways.

At this time, under the command of Lu Fei, Qingzhou army also formed a horizontal line, with 200 soldiers as a command unit, ready to attack.

"Your Highness, the Japanese pirates are moving here." After the army was assembled, the Japanese pirates began to march towards Xiao Ming, and the sound of artillery came from the direction of the Japanese pirates.

Xiao Ming looks in the direction of the sound of the guns. He finds that the Japanese pirates unloaded the guns from the castle and used them in the current attack.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was about 700 meters, and the artillery shells weakened a lot after flying. These shells almost rolled from the ground and could not cause much casualties.

As Claire said, these shells are very old, and their range and power are not very large.

"Your Highness, do you want to fight back and destroy their artillery?" Asked rosin.

"The range of the field artillery is not far. I'm afraid there's no advantage in this distance. We'll fight when the distance gets closer. Their artillery is clumsy and not our opponent." Xiao Ming and Luo Xin stand together in the artillery position, from which we can see everything on the battlefield clearly.

"Dong Dong..."

The drums sounded. Under the command of Lu Fei, the soldiers of Qingzhou army also wanted to go with the array of Japanese pirates. The soldiers lined up in a tight formation and moved forward without delay.As the distance between the two sides gets closer and closer, the artillery of both sides begin to shoot each other.

"Six pound guns shoot Japanese soldiers, twelve pound guns shoot Japanese artillery." When the distance between the two armies was only 300 meters, he gave the order.

In an instant, twelve six pound field guns began to shoot at the Japanese pirates. The black shells smashed into the dense array of Japanese pirates, and the hit array fell down in a row.

However, after the array was blasted out of the gap, the Japanese soldiers immediately filled the gap.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming's brows wrinkled, which is enough to show that the Japanese soldiers are well-trained, but he is not worried that they have an advantage in weapons.

Compared with the old guns of the Japanese pirates, the firing error of the field guns with sight is relatively small. The guns moving with the Japanese pirates array are directly smashed under the bombardment of the 12 pound field guns, and the Gunners are also seriously injured.

The six pound guns were not idle. The shells bounced on the ground and hit the Japanese pirates in the queue. The soldiers in the first row were hit by the shells and broke their hands and feet. They fell down and moaned.

250 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters.

Although they were constantly bombarded, the Japanese pirates did not shrink back. The troops of both sides were getting closer and closer. At 100 meters, Lufei ordered the soldiers to stop, shouting: "shoot!"

At this time, the soldiers will carry the flint gun flat, a burst of flame and white smoke, the opposite Japanese army immediately fell.

"Load!" Luffy called again.

After the first round of shooting, the Japanese pirates continued to walk forward. At this time, Sakai's look was a little gloomy. The Dutch gave them the torch, which could only be fired 50 meters away. He could only let the soldiers move forward to the shooting area.
