Chapter 563: Conquering

Facts have proved that people cannot escape shells.

The concentration of the warship volleys and shells is naturally conceivable, but because of the limited range, it only covers one-fifth of the position of Nakatsu. However, for these one-fifth, it is undoubtedly a disaster. There are huge fireballs rising from explosions, as well as houses that were blown away, and faint screams hidden in the artillery fire.

In this era, there are no international laws and no human rights. There is only one thing that has, that is power.

In addition to protecting one's own country, powerful force is also a tool for external expansion. Under external expansion, even unarmed people can sacrifice.

War will not sympathize with anyone, whether it is noble or poor.

The Ming Dynasty artillery used all its strength to roar, and red shells blew across the sky from time to time. The place covered by the shells had turned into a sea of ​​fire, filled with flying iron pieces. The unfortunate people were too weak to be vulnerable under the artillery fire.

The artillery is called the God of War, or the God of Death of War. When the huge flames rise into the air, the God of Death raises his sickle and swings it gently.

Even though those brave Komu soldiers passed through the area covered by artillery fire in front of them, they were greeted by the bullets of the Ming soldiers.

They were the vanguard team and the most advanced team to enter the city. Before they set out, they were told that they might die at any time because they were the first team to face the counterattack of the Komu Army. The Komu Army, who was beaten red, was not afraid of death.

But these soldiers were not afraid of death. They firmly occupied the city gate, and used their bodies and spears in their hands to form a hard line of defense. Behind them were soldiers who were constantly landing on the shore.

After rushing into the city, these soldiers did not rush to expand their results in the front, but instead attacked the city wall. Fukuoka's battle has proved that muskets have an unparalleled advantage on the narrow city wall. The city wall with only a few people side by side can withstand even if a thousand people rushed over. After all, so many people are crowded together, it is undoubtedly a very good target.

The Komu Army also knew this and tried hard to defend the city wall. However, the weapons they had were in addition to knives and arrows, which were very limited muskets. After all, the large army was going to destroy the Ming soldiers, and they also knew that the Ming soldiers were equipped with a large number of firearms, so most of the firearms in the city had been transferred, with only a small amount remaining.

Moreover, the muskets they used were naturally far behind, and the range was short, and the most important point was that the musket was loaded in front, which greatly limited the rate of fire. The muskets, which were originally few, had such slow rate of fire, would not have much effect in such a fierce battle.

However, there were quite a lot of Mu Army on the entrance of the city wall. For a moment, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not attack, and the two sides were in a deadlock. However, the deadlock did not last long. Jiang Lang on the warship also discovered this problem through a telescope, so he immediately ordered some warships to concentrate their firepower on the city wall. However, it was not the gate, but a certain distance from the city gate. The purpose was to cut off the reinforcements on the wall of Mu Army.

With the loud bang, fireballs suddenly bloomed around the city wall. In the huge explosion, the Gumu Army on the city wall was bombarded one after another.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also took this opportunity to concentrate their firepower assault. Soon, these Komu Army began to retreat, while the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty climbed onto the city wall step by step and then began to advance gradually.

The firepower of the Ming warship also began to move at this time.

Soon, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty firmly occupied the city wall and began to encircle and wipe out the Komu Army on the city wall.

The sound of cannons gradually subsided. Now the Ming soldiers rushed into the city were close to 10,000, and more than 5,000 soldiers climbed the city wall. Then, relying on the geographical location of the city wall, they still surrounded the entire city.

And more people are logging in quickly.

Basically, at this time, Nakatsu had announced his capture. Just like in Fukuoka, the people in the city fled outside through the gates that had not been captured, while the soldiers of the Komu Army who were not afraid of death rushed towards the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty like moths to the flames.

The sky slowly became bright, but it seemed very gloomy and heavy rain was coming.

At this time, all 40,000 soldiers in the Ming Dynasty had landed on the shore. The city walls had basically been occupied by the Ming Dynasty soldiers. The people in the city had almost escaped completely, leaving only an empty city. Of course, there were still many Komu troops in the city who were resisting stubbornly.

It was dawn, and after the war, Nakajin also looked devastated. Especially near the city gate, it was the most severely bombarded last night. Some of the houses that were bombed were emitting green smoke. Many corpses were lying everywhere on the ground. Some of these corpses were burnt, while others seemed incomplete. Among them were the corpses of ordinary people, and of course, there were also many corpses of many Mu Jun soldiers. Except for the artillery that died of the Ming Dynasty, most of the rest were shot to death.

However, there were also casualties in the Ming Dynasty, and some of them died of accidental injuries by their own artillery fire. After all, this was impossible to avoid under such artillery fire, and the rest died in the war between the Tongkou Mu Army.

There are still some Komu army hidden in this city, so the Ming soldiers began the final clearing work and cleaned it from house to house. Clear gunshots sounded again in the city that had been calmed down, but there were not many Komu army hiding this, so there was not much time to clean it up. At this time, Zhongjin City could be considered completely occupied.

Then, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty began to clean up, put out the fires in the burning houses to prevent them from spreading, and then cleaned up the corpses and dug a large pit outside the city to bury these corpses. After all, they should not be thrown around, which may cause a plague.

At the same time, the results of this battle were also counted. During the battle that night, the Komu Army was killed by 4,000 people, and more than 500 people died in artillery fire. The Ming Dynasty suffered hundreds of casualties, and a large extent of the casualties were concentrated in the early stages of the war and the later stages of the war. After all, hidden arrows were difficult to prevent.

When the Ming Dynasty captured Nakajin, the 60,000 soldiers who went to Nakajin arrived at the city of Kitakyushu. They didn't know that Nakajin had been captured. Now they were planning to join forces with the defenders in Kitakyushu City to launch an attack on the Ming soldiers stationed outside the city and use their absolute advantage in numbers to destroy them.

In the Ming Dynasty camp, General Ning had already received news that the Komu army had arrived and the time he gave him was already up. Therefore, he immediately became anxious and all the people got on the fast horse left by Jianglang toward Fukuoka City. According to Jianglang's order, they should now rush back to Fukuoka as quickly as possible, and then assist the defending generals to defend the Komu army's large-scale siege.

After they quietly left, the Komu Army began to gather the two armies, and then after careful planning, they formulated very detailed combat methods, which naturally included how to team up the muskets of the Ming soldiers.

After the plan was formulated, the Komu Army still attacked on a large scale.

However, to their surprise, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not take the initiative to greet them, and there was no movement in the entire camp.

Halfway through the attack, the Kou Mu Army stopped because they knew that the Ming soldiers had always been very cunning in fighting, so the scene in front of them surprised them, worried that the Ming soldiers had set up an ambush and were waiting for their attack.

After discussion, they became more convinced that this must be a conspiracy.

So the Komu Army stopped because they didn't know what tricks the Ming Dynasty had.

Time passed slowly, and there was no movement in the Ming Dynasty's tent.

The Kou Mu Army finally couldn't sit still, so they sent a team of people to inquire about the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

And now they can imagine that these soldiers sent out must be dead.

Soon, the information was sent over. The entire Ming Dynasty camp was empty, and there was no one left, only a tent on the ground.

The generals of the Komu Army immediately realized that they had been fooled, and they also knew that these Ming generals were extremely cunning, leaving all the empty camps all over the ground to confuse them and others.

The angry Komu Army could withstand such teasing, and decided to immediately attack Fukuoka Castle occupied by the Ming people. So they transferred all their troops and ran towards Fukuoka Castle. The total number of people dispatched was 90,000.

When Fukuoka Castle received a large-scale rushing towards the Kogi Army, it immediately organized its troops to prepare to attack the Kogi Army.
