Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

The range of the artillery far exceeded all the attack methods currently available to the Japanese. Faced with this kind of attack, the Persian general had no other choice but to quickly order to avoid it.

While Li Wei ordered his men to fire cannons, he watched the Japanese on the shore and smiled when he saw them fleeing in all directions.

It was originally difficult for the navy to land, but now it is much easier with artillery cover.

However, the damage caused by solid bullets was limited after all. Although the Japanese were frightened and harassed for a while, they did not suffer too much damage.

While Li Wei continued to fire, he ordered people to go forward to explore the way.

The ironclad ship is huge, so in order to avoid running aground, the water depth must be carefully determined.

The coast of Japan was winding, and the sea area they were in at this time was called the Whale Sea. The water was very deep, so there were many excellent natural ports around the coast of Japan, which was very beneficial to the Ming Navy.

Sure enough, the people sent to explore the road came back soon to report that they had found a place for the giant ship to dock.

Li Wei immediately ordered a pause in the bombardment and moved toward the deep water.

When the Persian rebel general saw that the artillery fire had stopped, he immediately rushed to the shore with his men and lined up his bows and arrows to aim at the approaching Ming navy.

Seeing this, Li Wei sneered. After entering the range of the explosive shells, he immediately ordered the cannon to be fired again. The ship's side was also full of soldiers who fired at the Japanese below. The Japanese's casualties increased instantly.

The Persian general was horrified. They hadn't even touched a single hair of the Ming army yet, and the number of casualties was almost over a thousand. How could this be done?

Although they have the upper hand in terms of numbers, looking at the power of the Ming Army's firearms, their chances of winning may be slim!
As the sound of gunfire continued, some Japanese people continued to fall. Some people tried their best to bend their bows and shoot arrows at the Ming army's ships. However, there was still a several-foot-high hull hundreds of steps away. No matter how hard they used it, Even the strength is not enough.

Seeing the increasing number of casualties on his side, Tian Shanmanjia turned pale and said to the Persian general: "Why don't we retreat first?"

"No! If we withdraw and they land successfully, we will have no power to resist!"

The Persian general gritted his teeth and said.

In fact, he was also very confused, but the half-crossing attack was their only advantage. If they gave up, they would have to retreat to Kyoto.

"But just being beaten like this is not the answer!" Tianshan Manjia said.

At this time, the Japanese saw that they could only be beaten passively. Their hearts were already agitated, and some began to retreat.

The Persian general thought for a while, but still insisted firmly: "Then let the supervising team come forward. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!"

Tianshan Manjia was stunned, sighed, and could only follow what he said.

On the boat, Li Wei frowned when he saw that the Japanese on the shore could barely hold on under the gunfire.

"Master Marquis, we don't have much ammunition. Let the soldiers charge ashore, shall we?"

Lu Tang came to him and said softly.

They don't have much ammunition. If they waste too much ammunition here, if the baggage is not delivered in time after landing, they will be in danger if they run out of ammunition.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and then shook his head: "Continue to blast, I want to see how long these Japanese can last!"

If they were forced to land at this time, the Ming army would definitely suffer heavy casualties, so he decided to try his best to defeat these Japanese with artillery fire.

As for the ammunition, according to his calculations, Wang Jinghong should arrive in less than two days. By then, he will naturally have no worries!

Lu Tang hesitated for a moment, but seeing his firm attitude, he could only continue to execute the order. Amidst the sound of gunfire, the Japanese saw that fighting back was ineffective, so they could only duck down and look for places to hide. But with so many of them, there was always nowhere to hide. Whenever the sound of gunfire sounded, a group of Japanese people fell down in bloody and bloody bodies. Continuous gunshots also continued to take away the lives of companions.

These Japanese people looked at the dwindling number of companions around them, and suddenly they felt more and more panicked.

The supervisory team sent by the Persian general was effective, but it did not last long. As the number of casualties increased, the Japanese could no longer hold on and began to show signs of collapse.

This is not a battle at all, this is a one-sided massacre. They can bravely fight the enemy, but they cannot stand here and be a living target!

Tianshan Manjia reminded him again. Seeing this, the Persian general had no choice but to agree to retreat.

Seeing the Japanese retreating, Li Wei was delighted and immediately ordered the entire army to land.

The landing operation that had been rehearsed countless times was launched again. The hatch was opened, and the boats and rafts came out and rushed to the shore.

Not far from the shore, the Persian rebels stared closely at these Ming troops.

Although they retreated, he did not completely give up blocking them. Now that the Ming army had begun to land, they only needed to rush over quickly and fight with them. They no longer had to worry about the artillery on the ship. The Ming army could not continue to attack them. They also killed their own people.

Hu Hai, Guo Ying, Shi Jun and others landed with their troops. As soon as they stepped onto the shoal, the Japanese came up to kill them again.

However, they were also well prepared and used muskets to cover each other. Hu Hai and Guo Ying led the Ming army using cold weapons to stand in front, and soon fought with the Japanese.

After successive victories, the morale of the Ming army is now much stronger than that of the Japanese. Even if they use cold weapons, the Ming army is still much more powerful than the Japanese, not to mention muskets.

The two armies fought together. At first, the Japanese were able to gain the upper hand by virtue of their semi-crossing attacks. However, as more and more Ming troops landed, they gradually lost ground and retreated steadily.

The Persian general waved his fist in disappointment. It seemed that it was impossible to stop the Ming army here.

"Hey, retreat and return to defend Kyoto!"

Seeing the heavy casualties on his side, the Persian general could only say helplessly.

Tian Shanmanjia had already had this intention. Hearing his words, he immediately nodded in agreement and ordered the entire army to retreat.

These soldiers and horses are Kyoto's last defense force. Up to now, their number of casualties has approached tens of thousands. If the losses continue, Kyoto will not be able to defend it.

After the order was given, the Japanese fled, but under the fire of muskets, they suffered numerous casualties.

Seeing that the Japanese were finally repelled, Li Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lu Tang: "Check the ammunition, some people will stay on the ship, and everyone else will get off the ship and set up camp!"

"Yes!" Lu Tang responded.

After Li Wei gave his instructions, he also took a few guards off the boat and came to the shore.

Hu Hai, Guo Ying and others first counted the casualties and tidied up the battlefield, and then found a place to set up camp.

In Li Wei's camp, all the generals gathered together and briefly discussed the next battle.

"When will we attack Kyoto?" Hu Hai asked excitedly.

Li Wei smiled easily and said: "Don't worry, our baggage is insufficient. I have sent a secret message to your Majesty. It will be delivered here in two days. When the baggage arrives, we will attack Kyoto again!"

In fact, they are not short of food and grass, but mainly ammunition. Without ammunition, they may not be able to quickly conquer the Japanese capital of Kyoto. Instead, they will be in danger because of the deep penetration of the Japanese army. Now they are stationed on the shore for defense in case the Japanese attack again. , they can immediately evacuate by boat even if they are defeated. (End of chapter)
