Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 747

The artillery shells and Mokang bullets fired from the armored battleship have already plunged the Osaka Fort into a fire.

The Ming army started shelling the Osaka Fort from another direction.

There were not many usable artillery pieces on the fort, so they had to engage the enemy forces in three directions separately.

The artillery fire, which was not afraid of the numerical advantage, was scattered all at once, making the situation even worse.

Moreover, the cannon's turn was not random. The mortar cannon turned around just fine, but the Hongyi cannon was too heavy to turn around.

After working hard for a long time, the artillery finally turned around and aimed at the Ming warships on the two wings of the fort.

While the Japanese army turned their guns, under the cover of firepower, several Ming warships put down their landing craft 300 meters from the coast.

More than 2000 marines of the Ming Army took landing craft, even jumped directly into the sea, and rowed towards the coast.

On the fort, the villager Yamano issued an order hoarsely, and the artillery positions of the Japanese army immediately bombarded the warships of the Ming army on the sea.

But another round of Maokang bombs hit them, this time directly igniting the gunpowder on the fort, and a violent explosion occurred instantly.

"Rumble..."

The entire fort exploded one after another, and this explosion directly caused more than 3000 Japanese soldiers to fly into the sky.

Thanks to the shogunate Takaya Yamano who ran fast, he led 2000 people to hide in the fort at the first time.

There are more than 1 defenders of the Osaka Fort, and there are only a few lucky ones left under the bombing of Ming warships.

"Log in quickly!"

Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong issued the landing order at the same time.

Almost at the same time, Zhu Cihong and Huang Ming also received Qi Jiguang's order and immediately led their team to the Osaka Fort.

At this time, the Osaka Fort was in a mess and was still burning everywhere.

"Everyone, pay attention to safety, and immediately search for the remaining Japanese troops."

"Yes"

Big tigers and little tigers are immediately ready to lead their subordinates to search for Japanese soldiers.

"slow!"

Huang Ming stepped forward to salute Zhu Cihong:
"Your Highness, it is more appropriate to leave this task to Maori and the others."

Zhu Cihong looked around, but did not find a living Japanese.

It is impossible to kill all the Japanese on the fort by bombarding from the sea by warships alone. They must be hiding somewhere.

Huang Ming had rich experience in combat. He knew that the enemy was in the dark, and he was worried that the main force of the Ming army would be attacked by surprise.

No matter who Zhu Cihong was, he knew what Huang Ming meant as soon as he heard it.

He reached out and patted Huang Ming on the shoulder:

"Okay, let Maori come here immediately."

Mao Li Qiuci behaved like a pug in front of the Ming army, but he was unambiguous in front of the Japanese soldiers.

He had just successfully brainwashed a group of Japanese who surrendered yesterday. When he heard that Zhu Cihong was looking for him, Mao Li immediately came to see Zhu Cihong:
"Master, what are your orders?"

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly:
"Maoli, it's time for you to make meritorious deeds again. Immediately lead the Ming Xie army to search and save the defenders. Be careful yourself..."

Zhu Cihong's last sentence directly made Mao Liqiu stab on his knees:
"Thank you, master, for your concern!"

After kowtowing to Zhu Cihong twice, Mao Li stood up and walked in front of the Ming Xiejun:

"Brothers, it's time for us to make meritorious deeds. Search for the shogunate defenders immediately. A team of 500 people will form a team. Report the situation immediately!"

"嗐"

There were originally 500 people under Maori's command, and 500 people died in the attack on Kobe.

Later, Zhu Cihong handed over 4000 Kobe prisoners to him, and now their team has reached [-].

The eight brigades immediately began to search, and the mountain villager in the fortress saw all this clearly, and his teeth were itchy from hatred.

I originally wanted to use the bunker to attack the Ming army, but now it may be discovered by the traitors.

So many people searched, and soon the Ming Association Army discovered the bunker:

"My lord has a bunker here"

"Adults also have a bunker here"

……

Other Ming Association troops found the bunker one after another and immediately reported the situation to Maori.

"Shoot them!"

Seeing that he was discovered by the traitors, Mr. Yamano immediately ordered the Ming Xie army to be shot and killed.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire, and the Ming Xie Army outside the bunker was killed by the Japanese defenders of the bunker.

The defenders in the bunkers in other places also began to shoot at the Ming Xie army from the bunkers, causing more than 200 casualties soon.

Mao Li was furious, and immediately wanted to order the Ming Xie army to rush forward.

But everyone is in the bunker, you can only be a target for them if you rush up.

At this moment, the Little Tigers sent them a thousand grenades.

Seeing the grenade, Mao Li was overjoyed. After thanking Father Ming, he hurriedly told his subordinates how to use the grenade.

"Attention, unscrew the cap, then pull the thread and throw it out quickly, remember?"

"Remember, this is very simple..."

Seeing that it was so easy, Ming Xiejun immediately answered in unison.

The remaining [-] defenders of the Osaka defenders hid in two bunkers.

Maori waved his hand:

"2000 people attack a bunker, 500 people shoot for cover, 500 people go over and stuff grenades into the bunker, remember to leave quickly."

After Maori gave an order, the Ming Association Army immediately began to act. 500 people fired at the gun holes in the bunker, and another 500 people went to the bunker to stuff grenades.

500 people fired and crackled the bunker's perforations, and the defenders inside could barely see what was going on outside.

Although the perforation was not large, fragments of bullets flew into the perforation, wounding more than a dozen Japanese soldiers on the spot.

Villager Yamano immediately ordered the Japanese troops to retreat:

"Everyone retreated one after another, waiting for them to approach and fight!"

The Japanese army was frightened by the Ming army's artillery shells. When they heard that they were retreating, they immediately got up.

After a while, the Mingxie army's gunfire still did not stop, but many wooden objects were stuffed in from the outside one by one.

Although the mountain villager didn't know grenades, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted:

"Quick, stop them..."

"Rumble..."

Dozens of Japanese soldiers just ran over when a grenade exploded, killing them on the spot.

"Eight grids... Hurry up and cover the perforation..."

Villager Yamano turned pale with fright, and hurriedly ordered the Japanese army to block the perforation.

But the Japanese soldiers were terrified and didn't dare to go forward at all. The angry mountain villager directly drew a knife and killed several Japanese soldiers.

"Go quickly..."

It was better not to see it, and dozens of Japanese soldiers tried to block the perforation holes with the corpses of their compatriots.

But some more grenades were stuffed into the bunker one after another.

"Rumble..."

After repeating this many times, most of the Japanese soldiers in the bunker were killed, and the bunker was filled with gunpowder smoke, and the rest of them could not breathe, so they had to open the secret door of the bunker and come out to surrender.

Seeing someone coming out, the Ming Xie Army killed them all in a sudden burst.

Before the mountain villager had time to go out, he yelled at the traitor a few times and killed himself with a knife.

However, 200 members of the Ming Association Army were accidentally bombed and killed because they were not good at using grenades.

Zhu Cihong was very satisfied with the performance of the Ming Xiejun, and he repeated his old tricks and praised the Japanese traitor:
"Maoli, you are very brave, you will definitely become the citizens of Daming in the future, and your family will enjoy happiness with you..."

"Thank you, master, we will definitely not let you down..."

The Japanese traitors knelt down again to thank Father Ming, and vowed to perform well.

Zhu Cilang patted Mao Li on the shoulder:

"Very well, you guys will check right away to see if there are still usable artillery pieces."

"Yes"

Maori happily led his men to look for the bombed cannons.

Zhu Cihong immediately said to Meng Liang:
"Meng Liang, you artillerymen should also go and have a look, Maori is not professional!"
