Steel Dynasty - Chapter 918

[Chapter 915 Absolute strength]

At noon, the gentle sea breeze blew across the city of Nazhijin, and the sunlight on the blue sky was exceptionally soft.

On the rippling blue sea, warships from the Great Chongqing Kingdom gathered together. If it weren’t for the confrontation between the soldiers of the two countries in front of the beach, all this would look particularly beautiful.

“General, there are more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers arriving at this time. Do you want to continue waiting?” Liu Chen asked Yue Yun with his remaining words on the dock.

“No need to wait.” Yue Yun asked the flag whisperer to reply. Through the secret guard’s information, he learned that the current Japanese country was actually composed of twenty-six vassal states controlled by daimyo. Yamada Nobunaga was only elected as the Japanese country by these daimyo. Just the supreme ruler.

In Yue Yun’s view, if all twenty-six daimyo were to gather, the power that the Japanese country would explode would still be a bit troublesome. After all, according to intelligence, the twenty-six daimyo controlled a population of 26 million in the Japanese country. If they were all exposed, soldiers, enough to raise hundreds of thousands more troops.

Although the cold weapon troops in Duo are nothing more than cannon fodder to them, their purpose this time is to quickly defeat the Japanese country and make the Japanese country surrender and sign a treaty, so that the Japanese country can become a market for the export of goods and profits from the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and they will be trapped in it for a long time. The war with the Japanese country was not what they expected, because it would drag down the development of the Great Chongqing Kingdom and delay their goal of catching up with the comprehensive national strength of the Western powers. Of course, they did not intend to let the Japanese country go, but tried to raise silkworms like silkworms. Spin out the silk and tidy it up again.

Therefore, he needed to provide sufficient deterrence to the Japanese country, but he could not fall into the quagmire of war.

After receiving Yue Yun’s order, Liu Chen licked his tongue excitedly. During the time when the Japanese were rushing for reinforcements, they had already built a complete trench.

They were completely unafraid of the impact of Japanese cavalry. They also had the firepower of grenades and field artillery to face infantry charges.

But what surprised Liu Chen the most was that this time the Japanese army did not stay in the city, but chose to assemble outside the city, as if they were going to drive them into the sea.

This was when he suddenly realized that the roles between Chongqing and Japan had been reversed. Now they were invading, and Japan wanted them to drive them away.

“Interesting, today your Grandpa Liu will feed you with cannonballs and bullets.” Liu Chen said excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of cannons suddenly sounded on the sea, which surprised him. “It’s not the time for bombardment yet…”

Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly saw the Japanese ship Anzhao rushing out of the inland river. Engage their warships.

At the same time, the Japanese soldiers in front of Nazhijin Castle began to walk towards them.

“Brothers, we can still kill them without the artillery support of the navy. Load the bullets, put the grenades in front of you, and prepare the artillery!” Liu Chen arranged in an orderly manner.

As he spoke, the situation on the sea became more and more intense.

When Yue Yun discovered these Anzhai ships, he ordered twenty-six steamships to sail to the river mouth, leaving the remaining warships to support Liu Chen.

Although the current Anzhai ship is equipped with artillery, he already has twenty-six steamships to destroy the Japanese navy.

Therefore, he allowed the Japanese warships to rush out of the inland river instead of stopping them in the inland river.

After more than half of the Japanese warships entered the sea, Yue Yun led his flagship to form a horizontal formation, which formed a T shape with the Japanese warships.

Although the British supported the Japanese country with many weapons, they did not hand over their naval warfare capabilities to the Japanese country. Yue Yun could see at a glance that the current Japanese navy had not made much progress.

And using the high maneuverability of the steamship, he easily seized the T-shaped crossbar.

“Sink all the enemy ships!” Yue Yun said coldly.

“Boom, boom, boom…” Following his order, twenty-six steamships roared, and at this time, the Japanese warships could not even aim their guns at the Chongqing warships.

Faced with a sudden hail of bullets, the Japanese soldiers fell into despair. They had already learned how powerful the Chongqing artillery shells were, and understood that now that their advantage was lost, they would inevitably die.

Sure enough, the bomb hit the first Anzha ship and made an explosion. The huge Anzha ship gradually sank amidst the explosion.

The first warship was sunk and blocked the way of the second warship. Suddenly, the formation of the Japanese warships began to become chaotic. Coupled with the bombardment of the Chongqing artillery fire, the Japanese warships were even more unbearable, and each one turned into a sea of fire on the sea.

The samurai bannermen at the head of Nazhijin Castle looked at everything on the sea, their scalps were numb and a shadow fell over their hearts.

“Stop the attack!” Takasugi roared from the top of the city.

At this time, they racked their brains for ways to disperse the Yu fleet in order to cooperate with the land attack. However, they were disappointed that only 26 warships went to respond, and there were still 50 warships staying at the dock. , rushing over now will still lead to death.

On the battlefield, the excited Liu Chen’s face suddenly darkened, and the Japanese soldiers suddenly stopped charging.

“Artillery, hit me hard! We must wipe out these 200,000 of them today!” Liu Chen shouted loudly.

As he spoke, field artillery began to fire at the Japanese soldiers outside the city. Flames of explosions exploded in front of Nazhijin Castle, and the Japanese soldiers fell one by one.

Looking at this scene, Takasugi’s face turned pale. For the first time, he experienced the combat power of Dayu. The same was true for other daimyo. Such exploding shells made them panic.

But then a scene that made them even more frightened appeared. The warships on the sea burst into flames. After a while, black barrages appeared in their eyes again.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Two thousand artillery shells hit in front of and on the city wall of Nazhijin. The flames filled the sky like flowers from hell, heat waves rolled, and shrapnel flew across the sky.

With the city walls trembling and the soldiers wailing, the entire Nazhijin City Gate suddenly became a Shura Hell.

Liu Chen was also stupid. He didn’t expect the navy to be able to fire the shells close to five miles. This was probably the limit of the naval gun.

In order to defeat the Japanese country this time, the navy used all its capabilities.

This round of shelling completely frightened Tokugawa Huiji. At this time, he realized that Dayu had already treated him very softly on the first day.

“Takasugi-kun! Takasugi-kun!” Tokugawa Keiji came to his senses and only saw bleeding from the corner of Takasugi’s mouth. When he looked carefully, a shrapnel pierced Takasugi’s chest, and he was bleeding.

Before he could take a breath, bright flames appeared on the sea again, and another round of cannonballs flew towards the city wall of Nanozu. At this time, he could no longer care about Takasugi’s life and death, and he and other daimyo climbed down and escaped. city wall.

At this moment, the entire Nazhijin city wall collapsed, and the soldiers in the city were exposed to the soldiers of Dayu.

Liu Chen blew a loud whistle and was very proud. Today the navy showed its true strength. Facing Nazhijin without the protection of the front wall, he said to the soldiers: “Gather all of them. This time we will teach the Japanese soldiers what it means.” Three shots! “
