I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 616: Bombardment of Guanggang City

"The trebuchet is ready."

"As soon as the Tang warships come within range, throw stones immediately."

"Sink them, and never let them land."

Inukai Shio shouted loudly.

On the city.

Japan has mobilized almost 90% of its country's catapults, and more than 100 catapults are all aimed at the sea.

But that's it.

All the Tang Dynasty warships that had rushed into the port stopped, lined up in a row, and dispersed along the port.

This was just beyond the range of the Japanese catapults.

All the warships pointed their guns at the Guanggang city. Although there would not be the giant mushroom like in later generations, a bombing feast would still be had in advance.

"Pass on my order, adjust the range to the highest and fire at full speed."

"Let's flatten this city."

Li Kan shouted loudly.

Following Li Kan's order.

Thousands of powerful cannons were aimed at Guanggang.

When the range is adjusted to the longest, the shells can be fired a thousand meters away. This is the Shenwu cannon of the Tang Dynasty today. After so many years of improvements, its range has doubled from the original 500 meters.

It was about three times the range of the trebuchet at that time.

"What is the Tang army going to do?"

"Can they shoot us from such a distance?"

On the city wall, Inukai Shio frowned and stared at the Tang Dynasty warships that had already set sail on the sea, feeling a sense of uneasiness.

Five or six hundred meters away, completely out of the range of their artillery, he really couldn't imagine what the Tang Dynasty was going to do, nor could he imagine that the Tang Dynasty's artillery had reached a level that they could not imagine.

While he was thinking.

A horrifying scene happened.

“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!!”

The entire sea surface outside the port was startled by waves of thunderous roars.

All that could be heard was the deafening roar of cannons, and shells were madly fired towards Guanggang City and the city walls.

In an instant.

Boom, boom…

Guanggang City turned into a sea of ​​fire due to the explosion.

"Ah...ah..."

"Save me...ah..."

The Tang Dynasty’s artillery was very powerful.

"help me…"

In the first round, more than a thousand shells were fired.

The Japanese troops stationed in the city were all thrown into chaos. In an instant, there were tens of thousands of casualties. Some were blown to pieces, some were blown to pieces, and some even disappeared with broken limbs.

It can be described as extremely miserable.

And their seemingly solid city was bombarded by many artillery shells.

It was directly blown apart layer by layer, cracked open, and collapsed directly.

The Japanese who were defending there were even buried directly in the ruins.

Thousands of cannons fired at once.

Each shot is powerful.

One can imagine how terrifying it was.

"How come their range is so far?"

"impossible."

Inukai Shio dodged the rubble and looked at the thousands of cannons firing on the sea in horror.

"General."

"Our catapults don't have enough range to hit the Tang warships."

"Please let the general decide."

A Japanese general shouted.

"Disperse, tell the whole army to disperse and defend."

"We must not let the Tang army land." Inukai Shio stood up and shouted loudly.

"General." "The Tang Dynasty's artillery is too powerful. Many parts of our city walls have been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty." A Japanese general rushed over in panic.

"This general doesn't care."

“We must hold on.”

"I don't believe that the Tang Kingdom's artillery shells are endless. They can only suppress us with artillery shells and then attack."

"Defend tightly and spread out."

"Dodge the shells as much as possible."

Inukai Shio shouted, his expression distorted.

Originally, he had confidently assured in front of Hou Xiaosong that it would be easy to defeat the Tang army, and that they still had the power to defend themselves. However, in front of the Tang army's iron artillery shells, his so-called confidence became empty and a joke.

He prepared all the necessary defenses and even wanted to use the Stone Khanate's catapults to teach the Tang Dynasty a lesson.

However, in front of the Tang Dynasty's Shenwu cannon that was out of range, all of it was in vain. Before the battle even started, all the defenses he had set up were torn apart by the shells.

A round of artillery fire came down.

The city was littered with broken walls and ruins. The Fifth City was destroyed, the city towers were destroyed, and thousands of soldiers were killed directly.

There were flames everywhere and the Japanese were screaming in pain everywhere.

It can be described as a human tragedy.

During this era, it was also the first time that the Japanese enjoyed the indiscriminate treatment of being killed by the Tang Dynasty.

He became the first person in world history to be killed by this epoch-making cannon.

This cannon is extremely powerful.

Even if there is no direct hit, there will be almost no survivors within thirty or forty meters around the shell. If not killed by the explosion, people will be shocked to death, and their internal organs will be ruptured.

"The power of the Tang Dynasty artillery is unparalleled in the world!"

Looking at the blazing flames of Guanggang City in the distance, the King of Ryukyu was extremely saddened by the fact that it was once the most prosperous city in Japan besides the capital. After being bombarded by a round of artillery shells, the city is now in ruins.

“This is still the first round.”

"To destroy the Japanese."

"I have prepared a lot of artillery shells."

"It will take at least ten rounds of bombardment before the bombardment ends."

Li Zheng sneered.

In order to please Japan, Japan was destroyed.

Li Zheng specifically ordered the Ministry of Works to use most of the produced artillery shells for the navy.

"A thousand cannons bombarded in ten rounds."

"The entire Guanggang is probably in ruins."

"No matter how many troops the Japanese have deployed there, I'm afraid most of them will be killed or wounded."

The Ryukyu King said in a horrified tone.

Now he has witnessed the power of the Tang Dynasty's Shenwu Cannon with his own eyes, and is naturally extremely shocked.

"This is just the beginning."

"For Guanggang, I have prepared ten rounds of artillery shells for them. For the Japanese capital, I have prepared even more."

Li Zheng smiled faintly.

"It's a pity for those innocent civilians." The Ryukyu King sighed.

Li Zheng turned his head and looked at the King of Ryukyu deeply. "When dealing with these disloyal and unrighteous bastards, there is no difference between civilians and soldiers. In my eyes, they are enemies."

Hearing the sharpness in Li Zheng's tone.

The Ryukyu King was shocked and knelt down hurriedly, "I am guilty and should not have mercy on the enemy."

"If I had not brought the army here, and your Ryukyu was invaded by Japan, would their soldiers have mercy on your ordinary people? Would they have mercy on the civilians because they do not hold weapons, are old, young, or even women?" Li Zheng said coldly.

People of this era do not know about the history caused by Japan, but Li Zheng will always remember it in his heart. Since future generations cannot do it, he, who was reborn from the future, will do it.

The Japanese can never be forgiven.

They are only fit to be slaves.

"Keep banging!"

"Give me a blow to the ground."

Li Zheng shouted coldly.

From the sea.

The roar continued.

Each round of bombardment was fired by thousands of powerful cannons, and under Li Kan's command, everything was in order, and the colleagues in the bombardment were gradually advancing.
