The amazing power of the twenty-four-pound flowering bullet immediately suppressed the momentum that the ronin Japanese pirates had just been excited on the battlefield. Seeing that the left and right corners were cleaned up, Lin Wei felt that the pressure was greatly reduced. The commanding officers and musketeers on all levels and sections of the fences were also calm, and the gunshots became neat.

Seeing this, Fu Anding immediately turned all the artillery into the gun mouth. Twelve pounds of mountain dredges approached, and the howitzers began to extend the artillery. The nearly crazy ronin on the front immediately ushered in a dense and rapid saturated artillery bombardment, and the continuous wave of charge was cleared out a gap of more than 100 yards.

Seeing that the attack momentum of the alive side was blocked, although Mabu Quanfang was frustrated and lost confidence, he also knew that this was not the time to stop. Since the Qing warships had fired, the next step was to see whether the Nine-generation water attacks could be effective. The current attack cannot be stopped. Instead, the attack must be strengthened to attract the firepower and attention of the Qing warships with all their strength.

However, at the moment, the newly recruited army and the vassal lord coalition were obviously shocked by the intense and fierce artillery fire, and their morale had declined seriously. It was pure delusion to rely on them to launch a large-scale charge, but it was just a delusion to let the warriors condemn the team first to act as cannon fodder. The samurai was reluctant to leave the cavalry and could only send the cavalry out. Although it was not suitable for large-scale cavalry charges at night, and although the fierce artillery fire of the opponent might cause the horses to be frightened, they didn't care about so much at this time.

After a moment of pondering, Mabe Quanfang said in a deep voice: "Order Inoue Hachiro to lead 5,000 cavalry to charge, raise my big worm to charge from the front, and order Mabe Quanyan, Harada Yoshitoku and Kitamura Tae-ei to follow closely, breaking through the enemy camp in one fell swoop!"

The Nine-Shi Zhongzhi, who was responsible for commanding the sneak attack on the water, was on the Yuchuan River in the upper right corner of the port. Although the battlefield was not visible, the rumble of cannons and the dense gunshots could clearly determine the tragic extent of the battle. The Qing warships in the port did not fire, and he did not dare to order an attack, so he could only suffer from the sound of cannons and gunshots.

He knew very well that there was only one chance. If the water sneak attack failed, they would no longer be able to compete with the Qing navy, which was extremely fierce. Therefore, he had been waiting for the opportunity quietly. When he saw four third-level battleships in the port firing guns for artillery support, he finally couldn't help but immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Order the fire ship to charge."

With the order of the Ninth Generation One, more than a hundred merchant ships and fishing boats that had already been filled with flammable objects immediately drifted down the Yuchuan River.

The warships closely monitored the Yuchuan River waterway quickly discovered this large area of ​​black ships with the light of fireworks. The rapid whistle immediately sounded, and soon, a fireworks bloomed above the bow of the ship. Seeing that it had been discovered, a large section of fireboats in front immediately raised fire, and the Yuchuan River waterway entered the port immediately shot into the sky, and more than a hundred fireboats headed straight to the port like a huge fire dragon.

When the 1,200 water ghosts hidden in various waterways saw the fire boats moving, they immediately went into the water and swam quietly towards the port.

Seeing the fire ship being dispatched, Shi Shipiao on the flagship snorted coldly and immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Order all ships. Do not move rashly. Battleships near the fire ships are shelling the fire ships."

Just as the order was issued, the sound of artillery that had been slightly sparse on the shore Marine Corps camp instantly became denser again. Longkodo said in a moving manner: "Cavals, Japanese pirates dispatched cavalry, and they actually attacked large-scale cavalry at night."

"It's a large-scale cavalry." Yinxiang nodded and said, "The Japanese pirates began to take a desperate bet."

Shi Shipiao also heard the thunderous roar. It seemed that the Japanese pirates had launched a full-scale attack. He looked up at the still dark sky and asked in a deep voice: "What time is it now?"

"Five minutes of peace." The officer beside him replied immediately.

At most two quarters of an hour, it was about to dawn. Shi Shipiao nodded, and the Japanese pirates should be gambled. They fought to the death. They were more powerful than a boon on the shore and were not stingy to send soldiers under the muzzle. It was impossible for them to attack more than a hundred fire ships just for the attack. There should be other means.

He looked sideways and looked at the fire ships like a fire dragon. Four warships guarding the waterway entrance were bombarded with dense artillery. Under the heavy rain, the fire ships in front were being bombarded with flames. Because of the water inlet, the speed of the fire ships had slowed down. In a short period of time, it was impossible to pose a threat to the warships in the port.

After pondering slightly, Shi Shipiao said in a deep voice: "Two fireworks were fired above the port, and the warships in the center of the port were ready to support the fire on the shore."

The musketeers who had repelled the second Japanese pirate attack had to breathe, and then heard a dull and dense sound of hooves like muffled thunder, and the ground was shaking slightly.

"Big cavalry!" Lin Wei was shocked. Is this group of Japanese pirates finished? He actually let the cavalry fight at night?

I noticed something strange, and two fireworks exploded at the low altitude above the land battle camp at the same time. A large number of black cavalry rushed into everyone's sight. Seeing the rapid impact, the sound of the hooves was densely filled with wind and rain, many soldiers who had never seen the cavalry charge could not help but feel relieved.

Fu Han glanced at the majestic and galloping horse team and said disdainfully: "This is not a regular cavalry, but a temporary horse. You have already tried your best when you rushed to the front of the formation. You will definitely not be able to jump into the broad trench in front of the formation. Tell them that there is no need to be nervous."

Lin Wei also had no experience in fighting the cavalry. He was relieved when he heard Fu Han's words. There were pointed wooden stakes in the trench. As long as the cavalry could not leap into the wide trench, it would not be possible to pose a threat to them. He quickly ordered: "Send the order, pay attention to avoid arrows, tell them that the cavalry could not cross the trench, so that they could shoot with peace of mind."

Fu Anding, who was in the artillery position, was overjoyed when he saw this. He was worried that he would not have the opportunity to test the effectiveness of the artillery group against the cavalry. This opportunity to come to him naturally made him very excited.

After pondering for a moment, he estimated the distance and ordered in a deep voice: "The mountain dutch target is nine hundred yards, howitzer 1,200 yards, three rounds of rapid fire, firing!"

Japan does not pay attention to artillery, and even regular cavalry war horses rarely deliberately train to adapt to artillery. When the whistling shells fall into the horse's herd, they form continuous explosions. All the horses are frightened by the huge explosion sound and firelight, and run wildly without control. The horses injured by shrapnel are even more galloping wildly, and for a moment they are only seen people and horses turn over.

The galloping horses were frightened and flew around in shock, which immediately disrupted the formation of the cavalry. There were countless horses that collided and impacted each other. Not only were the riders unlucky, but many infantry following behind were trampled by the frightened horses.

After three rounds of rapid fire, the entire cavalry formation was already in chaos, and the infantry following closely followed was also in chaos.

At this moment, a large area of ​​nearly 200 shells roared again, followed by a more violent explosion, one blowing up and one piece. These were shells of more than 18 pounds fired by the naval gun. The thousands of cavalry that made the worse were immediately killed and injured by the bomb. The surviving cavalry could no longer control the horse and fled in all directions. The infantry following them also dispersed.

The sound of cannons in the entire harbor was deafening, and the auxiliary ships guarding the various waterways were not moving at all. It was not their turn to take the field to bombard the entire harbor. Their main task was to monitor the situation of various waterways.

In fact, they were not too worried. They set up two fishing nets at the entrances of each waterway. Not only were there buoys, but also small bells on the fishing nets. It was impossible for the water ghost to come in without knowing it. However, the sound of the cannons is too loud now, and it is impossible for the bell to ring.

The water ghost who quietly swam into the port on black and didn't know that the Qing Dynasty naval army had such strict precautions. It even set up a fishing net at the entrance of the waterway. After hitting it, it was immediately entangled by the fishing net. It was instinct to struggle. As the struggle was a struggle, the entire fishing net was dragged. This was naturally not to be concealed by the sentries monitoring the waterway at any time. The rapid whistle immediately sounded at the entrances of the waterway.

One fireworks after another immediately shone the entire harbor, and the black heads floating on the water immediately became the target of various small cannons. Without Shi Shipiao's orders, the dense sound of cannons rang out in the harbor. The small-pound gunner who had never had the chance to fire had a feast for the time.

Most water ghosts were shot in the waterway by dense cannons before they had the chance to enter the harbor. Some fish that had escaped were unable to escape under one firework after another and were shot to death.

When Yinxiang saw this situation, he couldn't help but admire him and praised with a smile: "General Shi really has a sharp look and he has a clear understanding of the tricks of Japanese pirates."

Seeing the water ghost coming out, Shi Shipiao also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The Thirteenth Master Cheng Méng praised that the Japanese pirates and Deng Zhilong have many cooperation. These tricks are all common techniques. The last general is just to study the previous battle examples."

"This battle is a great victory, General Shi should be the first to be a meritorious person, so why should he be humble?" Yinxiang chuckled.

"The artillery on the shore has also stopped. It seems that the Japanese pirates have retreated in full force." Longkodo was envious and quickly changed the subject.

Yinxiang smiled and said, "These Japanese pirates are really ungrateful. They actually play with us as a lie. When they meet our ancestors, they have lost a lot of money today."

Longkodo also smiled and said with a slight interest: "Haha, the Thirteenth Master's words are reasonable. They are overestimating their abilities and dare to sell articles in front of Confucius."

Seeing that the war had basically ended, Shi Shipiao was in a very relaxed mood. He smiled and said, "Thirteenth Master and Lord Long are not familiar with the Japanese pirates. They have always been selling articles in front of Confucius. They are typical Zhongshan wolf. If they succeed, they will be arrogant. The prince can see through it and should not be rude to the Japanese pirates."

Hearing the dense sound of artillery like a thunderbolt from the harbor, but no fire was seen. Mabu Quanfang knew that the plan had completely failed and he had no intention of attacking, so he had to order to withdraw his troops. Today, he could see the power of artillery. Japan has always ignored the role of artillery on the battlefield, but it has never been possible that artillery can actually dominate the entire situation. After this battle, artillery must be vigorously developed.q!.
