Chapter 758: Night Attack

The direction of the attack was determined, and the Ming Dynasty's army immediately began to attack according to Jiang Lang's request. 120,000 troops advanced towards Daqiu, leaving behind 5,000 guarding the city, and the remaining 75,000 targeted Juchang advance between Daqiu and Quanzhou.

In addition, on the sea, the Ming Dynasty navy, who received the order, also began to move towards Zhixili. Now the sea has basically been completely blocked by the Ming Dynasty navy. Most of the high-strong warships have been eliminated. Except for a few who are fleeing, the rest are either captured and sunk, if they are not sunk, the high-strong navy is even more vulnerable than the Komu Army.

The sea surface is now completely considered the world of the Ming Dynasty. On this sea surface, the Ming Dynasty's fleet is already unobstructed, so it is necessary to transport the Ming Dynasty's navy to every place. Therefore, it is not difficult for the Ming Dynasty to attack Zhixili. Of course, in order to avoid more losses, or the Ming Dynasty's own losses.

As the night gradually faded, the sea was now pitch black. The sea breeze blew, and layers of waves were rippling on the sea.

Zhixili is now calm without being affected by the war, but as a city leaning against the sea, the city has entered a state of alert. After all, no one knows when the Ming Dynasty naval masters will appear on the sea.

Dark clouds piled up in the sky, and then it slowly started to rain. The torches used for lighting on the city were extinguished one after another due to rain. The entire city was basically shrouded in darkness. Because there was no moonlight in the sky, and because of the rain, the sea surface looked pitch black at this time.

On the sea surface, the Ming fleet had slowly approached the coast and entered the shooting position.

This rainy day can be regarded as a double-edged sword. Because it rained, the high-strong people's vision was greatly affected and they could not see clearly the things on the sea surface. In this way, they could sneak in quietly, catch them off guard and reduce their losses. But another point, because their vision was limited, they also blocked the sight of the Ming soldiers. This was definitely not a good thing for the Ming fleet that was quietly infiltrating. Because their vision was affected, they were greatly threatened to sail.

However, this did not stop the Ming soldiers from fighting.

As a frigate and as a firepower support warship on landing, it is now just like the place to shoot. The original sail has been lowered, and the gun door has now been opened. Not far away, Zhixili City lies in the dark like a giant beast.

The transport ship has now begun to put down the boat. As the first batch of raid soldiers, there are 3,000 people. They are the best equipped soldiers and are only the elite among the elites. Once they start landing, they will be the first batch of soldiers to land. After they get ashore, they must act as the role of blocking the enemy's counterattack, so they cannot take the lead.

There were more than a dozen soldiers sitting on each small boat. Now they tried their best to lie in the small boat, and then carefully rowed the boat to approach the coast. There were many powerful patrol soldiers on the coast, scattered everywhere in groups. After going up, they had to find ways to eliminate them, set fire, and indicate targets to the gunners on the warship.

The night became the best cover for these soldiers, and because it rained, the patrol soldiers had no time to notice the scene on the sea.

Soon, the first small boat arrived at the shore. The soldiers on the small boat quietly dived down the small boat, then entered the water, swam quietly along the shore, and the target was the two powerful soldiers in the front, they were the closest to the sea.

Soon, the potential soldiers in the water had approached the strong soldiers, and the strong soldiers on the rainy night did not realize that someone had approached them and were still complaining about the ghost weather.

At this time, a Ming soldier quietly poked his head out, bent over, and approached one soldier, while the other soldier was also approaching another soldier in the same direction.

Both of them soon reached the best angle of attack. On a rainy night, they were like dark ghosts.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers jumped up and rushed towards the soldier who was unaware of anything. He covered his mouth with his left hand, and then the dagger in his right hand slashed hard across his throat.

Another soldier immediately noticed the abnormality, but before he could make a sound, a salary-related dagger also slashed through his throat.

He gently put down two corpses without any life. The two of them sneaked forward, and behind them, more and more Ming soldiers had already climbed the coast at this time, and not far away was the city wall of Zhixili.

This is a ghostly night, and it is also a night of death. More and more Ming soldiers landed on the coast, but they did not make any sound. One after another, the strong soldiers were killed, but no one had time to make any alarm sound.

The wind became even more and the rain became heavier, and the whole world was completely shrouded in the rainy day.

Although it is also equipped with artillery, this kind of weather is definitely a disaster for high-strength artillery, and there is no way to shoot.

Perhaps because of this, they seemed a little relaxed about the alert. In their eyes, their artillery could not be fired, and the Ming artillery could not be fired. The Ming people rely most on the most to attack the city. Without artillery, they would not be able to attack the city wall at all.

But they did not expect that now on the sea, although the warships were shaken a little due to wind and rain, and they could not aim very accurately, after all, there was no computer or fire control system at this time. However, for a long time at sea, the gunners on the Ming Dynasty warships had already known how to find shooting points in waves and waves.

The soldiers who had arrived ashore have now found the city gate. This is the first direction of attack. They took out explosive packs wrapped in oil paper and piled them up at the city gate. At the same time, they lit the leads.

Sizzle...

The leads began to burn. On rainy nights, this small flame had no way to indicate the target of the warship, but explosions would do.

The Ming soldiers were already hiding with their guns at this time, which was to avoid the explosion and hurt themselves. At the same time, the first group of them had to re-enter during the explosion and then establish a line of defense.

"boom……!"

When I remembered a loud bang, the huge fireball suddenly rose into the air, and the whole earth seemed to tremble.

Such a big fireball was so clear in the darkness that even though it was a constant distance, the gunner's door, who was watching the scene on the shore, still clearly saw the explosion. So they quickly adjusted the shooting angle, and then the cannons on the battleship began to roar.

The sound of the deafening cannon broke the tranquility of the rainy night, and long flames began to emerge from the sea. Countless two dots broke through the night sky and accepted it in front. Then, fireballs rose into the air in the distance.

At the same time, transport ships leaned towards the coast one after another. Now they need to put their troops on the shore in the shortest time. The transport ships are all flat. Although the stability is relatively poor, the draft is very shallow, so they can send soldiers to the places closest to the sea, and some simply rushed to the shore.

The soldiers on the transport ship immediately rushed forward as soon as the transport ship landed. The huge explosion just now had blown a large hole in the city gate, and now they have to continue the hole in.

The previous soldiers had already rushed in at this time. Once they entered, some of them immediately rushed towards the city wall, with the purpose of occupying favorable terrain, while another group of people quickly established defense lines in front of the city gate. They must now withstand the counterattack of the strong men and buy time for the soldiers in front of the army. As for the artillery fired by the Ming Dynasty, barrage was opened in front of them.

The huge explosion also woke up the soldiers who were still sleeping. Even if they didn't need any reminders, they knew they had encountered an attack, so they picked up their weapons and rushed out.

As for those people, after waking up in fear, some people first reported that they were escaping, while others could only curl themselves tightly behind the wall and listened to the huge explosions outside in fear. Of course, there were also accidental injuries. Some shells fell directly into the homes of those people, causing considerable casualties, but because of the rain, there was no fire.

This is the beginning of a tough battle.

The main task of the Ming soldiers who rushed into the city is to closely guard the captured city gate and the wall at the city gate. In this way, the troops behind can follow up and expand the results of the battle. For the strong men, the most important thing they now have to drive out the Ming people and then guard the city gate tightly to prevent them from being captured, which is a glimmer of hope.

However, the opening of the barrage of the Ming soldiers caused them a lot of trouble. Even with armor, there was no way to completely block the bullets of the Ming soldiers. Although in recent years, in order to deal with the Ming rifles, Jinazawa Jung has racked his brains and trained a heavy armored infantry, but the number is very limited, so it was not deployed in a small city like Zhixili. Now the powerful soldiers are completely charging in the rain of Ming soldiers' guns and bullets, and then countless people fall in the charge. This war seems to be a battle between barbarism and civilization. The result seems to be self-evident.
