Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Attacking Golden Mountain and Niujiao Mountain is actually relatively simple.

The main reason was that Lin Yi had the squadron enter the port, and then used the battleship's main guns to bombard Golden Mountain and Niujiao Mountain.

As the saying goes, caliber is justice and range is truth.

Under the attack of the 305mm main gun, there is no fortress that cannot be destroyed.

You see, many fortresses that they thought were extremely strong were destroyed by people using huge cannons.

What's more, the fortresses of Golden Mountain and Niujiao Mountain are both near the port, and the fortresses can be attacked directly with naval guns.

In addition, the eleven fortresses in West Jiguan Mountain are the coastal defense artillery facing the sea. The Golden Mountain and Niujiao Mountain are only fortresses targeting the ground.

Now that the squadron has even overturned the coastal defense artillery fortress, how can it be possible to resist those forts targeting the army?

Besides, since these turrets are mainly aimed at shore attacks, only a small part of their firing range can reach the squadron.

This also caused the forts in these two places to be beaten passively.

Although Lin Yi and the others are advancing so easily now, it is mainly due to the battleship.

Without the cover of the battleship, Lin Yi and the others could only take the trail between Golden Mountain and Niujiao Mountain.

And that trail has long been covered by the fortress artillery on the hillside.

If there are no battleships to pull out these turrets first, and only the army is allowed to attack, the result will be a repeat of the tragedy of Sakura here.

It took the squadron more than a day to remove the fortresses at Golden Mountain and Niujiao Mountain before the ground troops began to attack.

With the Second Division of the Koryo National Salvation Army as the forerunner, the First Division used heavy firepower to clear the way for the Koryo National Salvation Army, and it took only one day to break through the five lines of defense of the Rakshasa people.

Afterwards, the Second Division and the First Division of the Korea National Salvation Army rested, and the entire ground attack was taken over by the Second Division.

At this time, tens of thousands of Rakshasa troops were forced to retreat into Liaozhou City.

At this time, in Liaozhou City, it was already known that no Daxia people could see it, and all the people in this small city were Rakshasa people.

In this case, Lin Yi was not polite and directly asked Qian Hongtao to attack Liaozhou City.

Street fighting has always been the biggest headache for the attacking side, but this theorem is not appropriate here.

The main thing is that there are no Daxia people in the city, so there is no need to worry about accidental injury, that being the case. Then send people into this fart city?

Wouldn't it be enough to just use cannonballs to make the Rakshasa people inside surrender?

Thinking of this, Qian Hongtao directly concentrated all the artillery of the second division and bombed the city.

Within a day, the remaining soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom who hid in Liaozhou City surrendered to Daxia.

As for the subsequent arrangements for prisoners of war, Lin Yi left all these matters to Xue Dingshan and Qian Hongtao.

He still has something very important to do now. Today Wang Hongchang and the others are going to bombard the mainland of Sakura Country.

Lin Yi wants to eat melon.

As for the arrangements for the prisoners of war in the Rakshasa Kingdom, Lin Yi only told Qian Hongtao and the others that the four provinces outside the customs were severely damaged and many places needed to be rebuilt.

Moreover, the mineral content outside the customs is rich, so arrangements need to be made as soon as possible.

Xue Dingshan and Qian Hongtao immediately understood what Lin Yi meant.

It is conceivable that the final destination for these prisoners is either a mine or a construction site.

Still the kind who don’t have enough to eat and do heavy work.

After Lin Yi made the arrangements, he took Zhao He on a destroyer and prepared to catch up with Wang Hongchang and go to Sakura Country to eat melon.

From Liaozhou to the northwest of Kyushu Island, it only took a day to take the destroyer, and Lin Yi joined Wang Hongchang.

When Lin Yi and Zhao He boarded the Qinhuang, he and Zhao He came to the bridge.

"You're welcome, tell me about the situation." Lin Yi directly pressed Wang Hongchang's hand that wanted to salute, and asked Wang Hongchang.

"Back to my lord, the city opposite us now is Hirado City on Kyushu Island in the Sakura Country."

"It is the northwestmost city on Kyushu Island, with a permanent population of 20..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I'm not interested in this. Just tell me how the little cherry blossoms on the shore reacted." Lin Yi interrupted Wang Hongchang and asked.

"Reaction? No reaction." Wang Hongchang shook his head, and then continued: "The battleships of the Sakura people have been almost wiped out by us."

"Now they only have four or five capital ships left, and they are all undergoing major repairs. They have no way of affecting us."

"Their army has been assembled and seems to be preparing to defend against our landing."

"But the strange thing is that the senior officials of Sakura Kingdom did not seem to evacuate the people in the city. Some Sakura Kingdom people who wanted to leave the city were blocked by their soldiers."

"Your Majesty, there are at least [-] people in the city now. Do we really want to launch a bombardment?" Wang Hongchang looked at Lin Yi and asked with some uncertainty.

"Why not?" Lin Yi glanced at Wang Hongchang, and then asked: "Have you forgotten what Sakura Country did to us before?"

"Besides, did you do what I asked you to notify?"

Wang Hongchang knew that what Lin Yi was talking about was whether he had issued a notice to Hirado City after arriving in Hirado yesterday, informing them of the upcoming bombardment of Hirado City.

Wang Hongchang nodded and said to Lin Yi: "I had someone broadcast a two-hour announcement yesterday."

"Those Sakura citizens who wanted to leave the city also wanted to leave the city after listening to our announcement."

"That's alright, you've already announced it, and it's not you who refuses to leave the city. Why do you feel guilty?"

"We did everything we could before launching the bombardment. Is it because your people don't leave the city that you won't launch the bombardment?"

"If this is the case, then let me ask you, wherever you go from now on, if those Sakura countrymen do not allow people to leave the city, will you fight or not?"

"You have to remember that you are my officer in Daxia, and you only need to be responsible to Daxia."

"It's not your problem that those Sakura people can't leave the city."

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are not worried about themselves, but are worried that the Sakura Congress will take this matter to the League of Nations, which will have a bad impact on the empire." Wang Hongchang said with some worry.

"Then don't worry, you just need to keep the evidence. Naturally, professional people will be responsible for diplomatic matters."

"You and I are both soldiers, and soldiers shouldn't think too much about political matters." Lin Yi looked at Wang Hongchang and said slowly.

He felt that Wang Hongchang sometimes thought too much.

In Lin Yi's opinion, soldiers should be more pure.

Seeing what Lin Yi said, Wang Hongchang did not dare to say anything more.

He quickly ordered Liu Yuxi to prepare for battle.

After receiving the order, the Daxia fleet immediately tore off the main gun coats and loaded ammunition onto the deck in a steady stream.

As the shells entered the chamber, the gunnery commander raised his command flag high and waved it down suddenly.

The Qinhuang's main gun roared.
