The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 456 The Desperate Wang Zhi

But it was obviously too late at this time, the shouts of killing from the top of the mountain suddenly became intense, and the sound of muskets suddenly became dense, like a storm.

Those muskets were extremely sharp, and the Japanese pirates under Wang Zhi's men, who rushed forward, quickly fell down a large number.

Immediately afterwards, there was another strange whistling sound from the top of the head, and then black spots fell into the team, and with bursts of roaring explosions, blood rained from the sky, and countless limbs were broken. The stump began to fly.
How could Wang not know that he had been tricked until now, he shouted angrily, and took the lead to run towards the pier.He thought that if he could escape to the big ship, he would have a glimmer of hope of escape.If you are trapped on the island, there is only one dead end.

But it was obviously too late at this time, a large number of men and horses in short red military uniforms rushed down from the top of the mountain, shouting angrily, accompanied by dense bullets, and splashed towards Wang Zhi's men.

The Japanese pirates under Wang Zhi fell one by one like cutting leeks, Wang Zhi was horrified,

He knew that this group of people must not be Aoki Jiro's subordinates, they definitely did not have such strength.

He didn't know exactly who ambushed him, but he knew that if he didn't run away, he probably wouldn't have a chance to escape from the island.

Wang Zhi took a few of his cronies and ran towards the pier desperately. He believed that as long as he ran to the pier and boarded his big ship, he could hope to escape.

But when Wang Zhi was less than a few hundred steps away from the pier, two waves of people wearing the same red uniform rushed out from the east and west at the same time, and rushed towards them to surround and kill them.

Wang Zhi was shocked.He knew that he was completely trapped in the encirclement circle set up by others.

Just when Wang Zhi was surrounded by the Qin army on the island, Wang Zhi's fleet on the sea also discovered the Qin army's naval warships surrounded from all sides.

But they had never seen the Qin Army navy warship, so they thought it was another Japanese pirate who took the opportunity to attack.

It's just that Wang Zhi is deeply trapped on the island now, so it is impossible to get in touch with them.

The Japanese pirates who stayed on the boat had no idea for a while, and after a hasty discussion, they made a stupid decision.

They decided to move all ships closer to the pier.

In their view, as long as they can protect the pier from being occupied by the enemy, they can meet Wang Zhi and escape.

Moreover, although they saw the chaos on the island at this time, they still thought it was an ambush set by Jiro Aoki.In their view, although Aoki Erlang was cunning and set up an ambush, he was not Wang Zhi's opponent.Even if Wang Zhi couldn't annihilate Aoki Erlang, it was enough to escape.

After making a decision, these Japanese pirates communicated with each other with semaphore, and then drove their boats towards the pier.
At this time, the encirclement circle of the Qin Army's navy had shrunk to less than ten nautical miles from the island.

On the flagship of the Navy, Deng Shichang saw the movement of these Japanese pirates through the telescope, and couldn't help laughing
Originally, he was afraid that the Japanese pirates would flee in all directions after finding out that the navy was encircling them, so he would send ships to pursue them.But I didn't expect these Japanese pirates to gather together, which just gave the navy a chance to catch them all.

More than 100 warships surrounded the island from all sides. Except for a few ships on guard on the other three sides, the main fleet all surrounded the pier.

Under the command of Deng Shichang's flagship, the main fleet divided into three directions and launched an attack on the Japanese pirate ships gathered near the pier.

At this time, the two sides have already shown their swords and guns, and there is no need to hide their strength at all.

Although there are many ships under Wang Zhi's command, they seem to be powerful.But in fact, it doesn't have too much fighting power.

Although some of his ships were equipped with cannons, these cannons were also good and bad, with different ranges and different powers.

The most important thing is that the number is too small, and most of the ships do not have any weapons that can attack remotely.

Because these Japanese pirates mainly deal with passing merchant ships and landing to plunder the coastal people, there is no need to load too many artillery pieces.

Besides, artillery is a military weapon.A country can't have too many, not to mention a group of Japanese pirates, they can have some muskets, which is already considered invincible.

The navy is very different.

All the navy dispatched this time are real warships. Even the lightest armed transport ships have the powerful firepower of 20 cannons each. The firepower of the battleship was gone.

The artillery on these warships has added rifling, although the caliber has become smaller, but the accuracy and power have become stronger, and the range has also increased a lot.

Often the artillery on the Japanese pirate ship could not hit the naval warship at all, and the shells exhausted all their strength and fell into the sea, still far away from the naval warship.

And the navy warship can hit the enemy warship with any shot, and even some shells flew over the head.

Once the navy attacked with all its strength, Wang Zhi's fleet had little power to fight back. After firing a few cannonballs in a hurry, some ships were hit by the navy's artillery, quickly ignited a fire, and began to sink not long after.

Next, more ships were hit by the navy's artillery and caught fire, and the surviving Japanese pirates jumped into the water to escape.

At this time, Wang Zhi, who was on the island, was also caught in a bitter battle. Although he landed on the island with more than 2000 Japanese pirates and saw that there were a lot of people, but facing the pincer attack of [-] Qin army infantry, it was like a storm. The overnight flat boat under the turbulent waves may be overturned by big waves at any time.

Moreover, the firearms of the soldiers of the Qin army were so advanced, and there were artillery to help them out, as well as close-combat artifacts such as grenades. In less than half an hour, there were less than 2000 Japanese pirates under Wang Zhi's more than 400 men.And many of these people who are alive are wounded.

Wang Zhi's heart was already filled with gloom over this matter, knowing that he might have no hope of escaping today.

And at this time, even if he didn't need a telescope, he could clearly see that his own fleet was also suffering heavy losses.

And it was obvious that the opponent's warships had very strong firepower, and his ships had no resistance at all. They were hit and set on fire one after another, and fell silent one after another, which filled him with despair.

He couldn't understand, how did all this happen today?
He confidently led a large group of people to annex Aoki Jiro, but he didn't expect that he would become the prey in someone else's trap.

What frustrates him the most is that until now, he has no idea where the powerful army surrounding him came from.
Wang Zhi has been at sea for many years, and he doesn't think this is the strength that a Japanese pirate can possess.

In his opinion, this is the strength that only the official army possesses.

But he knows that the court is already in turmoil, and there is only half of the country left, so it is impossible to send navy to deal with him.

Moreover, the navy of the imperial court was completely lost more than ten years ago, even if they wanted to deal with themselves, they did not have the strength.

The muskets and artillery in the hands of this unknown enemy were so sharp that he had never seen in his life, even surpassing the breech-loading rifles he bought from the English merchants.

He is now full of despair, but before he dies, his greatest wish is to know who the other party is, why should he have a hard time with him?Why do you know that he will come here today to attack Aoki Jiro?

There are too many questions in his mind that he wants to know the answer to.
