Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1166 Daqin and the Landing Force

As Edo Castle appeared on the horizon, and while the hidden shore defense firepower was able to open fire, the landing ships began another round of bombing the shore using the ship-borne heavy rockets.

Relying on rockets, these destroyer-sized air cushion assault ships can achieve the effect of an entire battleship formation in a short period of time, because the charge of those large rockets is even more powerful than that of battleships, because even a giant cannon of more than 400 mm can only carry about 50 kilograms of gunpowder when firing a shell. These rockets can easily carry hundreds of kilograms of gunpowder, and with the help of aerial bombs, it can easily reach 1000 kilograms.

Master Wang likes to use rockets because they can carry more gunpowder than cannons. A fighter jet can only carry a 20mm cannon, which can't even penetrate thicker steel plates. But if it's replaced with a rocket, it can send an entire building into the sky with one shot.

The rockets on the air cushion assault ship bombed the landing site in a nearly direct manner - specifically, the Yokohama Beach in the south of Edo. Different from the cement port in Edo, this place still retains the natural beach, which is a suitable place for the air cushion assault ship to land.

As the landing fleet approached, more types of rockets began to be launched. The most numerous of them were the "hedgehog bombs" that looked like locusts. These hedgehogs were loaded in clusters in launch boxes and fired in units of hundreds. The overwhelming hedgehog bombs were aimed at the sea area in front of the landing ship and were blown up to a nearly white color by the sea surface.

The white waves were repeatedly stirred up by the rain-like shock waves, and then repeatedly shattered. This was done to clear mines. These hedgehog bombs could use intensive bombing instead of the ship's own hull to sweep mines. After all, although these hovercraft would not trigger obstacles in the water because they were suspended on the water, other ship soldiers could not do so.

The obstacle-clearing hedgehog bombs will also open up a wider landing site for subsequent conventional surface ships after the charge of these cushion ships.

Amid the overwhelming explosions, the first assault ship rushed onto the beach of Yokohama. The gangplank in front of the ship was lowered, and the armored vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles on board began to gradually emerge from the garage.

No one got off the vehicle on foot, because the mechanized infantry of Wang's division stayed in the vehicle most of the time, and would only get off to fight the enemy when they were attacked - the main weapon carried by the infantry was, of course, rockets.

Rocket-propelled grenades, which are not included in the organization, are naturally available to everyone. There are also numerous 120mm heavy rocket launchers that can fire charges comparable to the main guns of tanks. Mortars, grenade launchers, direct-fire and area-fire grenade launchers, various types of barreled artillery, and self-propelled rocket launchers are all available.

A landing ship carried a squadron, and a rapid response brigade of about 2000 people entered the landing site in one round of impact. The air cushion landing ship that landed with them did not return, but began to advance towards the shore in the form of an air cushion.

One after another, the land destroyers began to advance accompanied by mechanized infantry. Yokohama was not completely unpopulated, because it was not engulfed by the fire that spread throughout Edo.

However, the population here did not gather on the shore, but was distributed in the streets on the shore - Yokohama and Shinjuku, which were originally important nodes for entering Edo. In the past, when Edo still had Sankinkotai, the lords from various feudal states would enter Edo along their respective designated roads, and those entering Edo from the west and southwest would stay in these post stations, gradually forming satellite cities.

Although Edo Castle has been destroyed now, the original framework is still preserved here.

However, under Xu Fu's arrangement, only the minimum population to maintain the "framework" was retained here. Most of the others went to places where people were more needed under his management, so that local farmers could work more efficiently.

The landing royal division, under the threat of a huge hovercraft the size of a destroyer, began to occupy the remaining satellite cities. More landing troops began to land from the front of Edo. They would dock directly at the port of Edo City and use the port's facilities to unload the troops on board.

As the second batch of landing ships approached, there were also low-altitude helicopters and medium- and low-altitude fighters. There were also "special fighters" flying at high altitudes, belonging to the Qigong practitioners, which began to pass through the battlefield at high speed to inspect possible changes on the battlefield.

Everything is going according to plan. Shangluo actually only made the decision to "start landing", and the rest were carried out by professionals.

This was supposed to be discussed in a meeting. However, because Shangluo was the "Great Marshal of Demon Subjugation", his orders were the orders of the emperor, so Li Yinchang, as the commander of the joint command, had already planned and prepared various plans, including landing. So once Shangluo gave the order, landing or any other action could be carried out immediately.

Standing at the porthole, Shangluo could see the ships on the sea, the helicopters overhead, and at least three levels of fighter planes of various types in the sky, all heading towards the shore. They were flying outside the arcs of the shells and rockets, but their figures were superimposed on the artillery fire. If you stood on the other side, the scene you saw would probably be no different from the end of the world. [Wow, this is so lively. ]

"Can't Rome fight like this?"

[It has been a long time since I have seen Rome organize such a resolute action. Even if Xu Fu really had an ambush, it should be buried in the ground now. ]

Shangluo nodded, he thought so too.

However, there was only one person who was not very happy about the scene - Ao Zang, who was wrapped in bandages, looked at all this and felt that his forehead was bleeding. The main attack should have been his, and the credit should have been his. As a result, due to some unexpected events, Long Gong had to be pushed to the second line, and Wang Shi had to go up by himself.

Now, as expected, the landing troops did not encounter any significant obstacles. This was a no-cost business. As long as it was executed, it would definitely succeed. Having missed the great achievement, Ao Zang felt only regret and confusion.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, a strange feeling made him calm down. The next second, he found that he had come to the right place, "It's Xu Fu! Xu Fu is here!"

"It's him." Shangluo also saw it.

After the Royal Division officially began to land, Xu Fu did not put up any resistance. This might be because the Royal Division did not land directly in Qianye, but since this had already entered Xu Fu's territory, he still did not put up any resistance.

Finally, he showed up himself.

The old man with white beard is wearing a black Taoist robe. His Taoist robe does not have the yin-yang fish commonly seen in later generations, because there was no yin-yang fish in Xu Fu's time.

Shangluo did not let him get close to the fleet, but took off into the air with Fu Yuanshan and others to intercept him, and collided head-on with the approaching Xu Fu.

Xu Fu bowed his head without hesitation:
"Alchemist Xu Fu, I am here to see Lord Shang. Now that I have met you all, I have resolved this cause and effect, and my merits will be complete - long live the Great Qin, long live the emperor."

"Huh?" Shangluo was stunned for a moment.

"Hmm?" Xu Fu was also stunned for a moment, "Are you not Shangluo?"

"I am. But."

"Then is there another Shangluo? Aren't you the Shangdi feudal lord of the Qin Dynasty, Shangluo named Luo? Like Shang Yang? Wait..." He stared at Shangluo:

"Wait, which emperor generation are you from? The First Emperor said that there will be two generations, three generations, and even ten thousand generations. You should have been there. Wait, you are not from the Great Qin. Is the Great Qin already dead?!!!"
