Yu Rongguang put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the firelight in the distance, and gunfire sounds came from time to time in his ears. From the daytime, the enemy's attack never stopped. From the initial test to the final four-sided siege, based on Yu Rongguang's past combat experience, the opponent had almost two-thirds of all his combat power. But the war was still stalemate on the offense and defense of the outermost periphery. Faced with the defense of the Ming army, the army of the Tiger Dynasty had no choice but to do anything.

The initial worry was gone, Yu Rongguang turned his head and looked at the Ming Dynasty 1 style standing next to the desk. He felt that the possibility of participating in the battle was probably gone.

Yangang Port is very small. This small island was transformed by the Ming Dynasty into a fortress with steel and concrete buildings everywhere. Usually, they are houses and warehouses. The extremely solid buildings are used to resist the invasion of sea waves and storms. During the war, if slightly renovated, they are indestructible and impregnable fortresses.

For soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty, this defense is three-dimensional. The blow comes not only from the ground, but also from the high air. On those tall buildings, the Ming gunmen used the Ming Dynasty Style 1 to accurately harvest one life after another.

In Yangang, it is difficult to find equipment to attack such fortresses, because there are no trees on this island, and it is impossible for the enemy to find some wood to make a ladder.

The Tiger Dynasty wanted to fight in close combat, but I was afraid that they would not be able to connect with soldiers close to Ming Dynasty. And so far, Yu Rongguang has not heard the sound of cannons, which shows that the commanders on the front line still held the largest killing weapon in their hands and did not use it.

"Come!" he shouted.

A heroic woman in a uniform came in.

"Have you sent the midnight snack to the soldiers on the front line?" Yu Rongguang asked.

"A quarter of an hour ago, it was all sent to the front line." The woman said crisply.

"Very good, I'm going to take a nap. If you have anything to do, wake me up quickly." Yu Rongguang said with a smile.

"Yes." The female soldier nodded, turned around and left the house, and closed the door tightly.

As the commander of Yangang, Yu Rongguang went to bed very well, but Mattus, who had already arrived ashore, was furious in all the houses that were temporarily used as a command site.

Until now, his troops failed to move forward, and there were casualties and casualties. Three thousand soldiers were either dead or injured, completely withdrew from the battle sequence, which really hurt him. The first batch of troops that came ashore were the ones he valued the most. In the past, he also relied on these people to open up the situation for him regardless of the casualties. Now, casualties have been casualties, but the situation has not been opened for a long time.

So far, he has not even figured out how many people there are in the Ming army. He just feels that there are enemies from all directions.

"What weapon is that? How many enemies are there on this island?" He grabbed Qin Li, who was frowning on his side with his hands and roared, "Why didn't you say that the enemy has such terrible weapons before? What are those?"

"I don't know." Qin Li shook his head and said, "Duke, I have been away from this land for several years. My understanding of this place has remained a few years ago. I don't know what weapon this is."

Qin Li really didn't know that the first time gunpowder weapons appeared on the battlefield was in the Battle of Panlong Mountain, but Qin Li had already gone overseas at that time. He personally learned that the ghost shadow, another general, Jia Fangzhou, who had a powerful weapon, was also killed here. The few soldiers who survived by chance also disappeared after bringing back this information. The Qi people did not spread the news, but were just trying hard to develop this latest weapon in private.

Qin Li was as shocked as Mattus in his heart. When he left, the Ming army was not so powerful. The Ming army's cold weapons combat capabilities were of course quite powerful, but at most, that is, they were equal to the Tiger Dynasty. Qin Li confirmed this. The most elite army in the Great Qi would not lose to the Ming people, nor to these soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty. It was based on this understanding that he believed that when hundreds of thousands of troops of the Tiger Dynasty attacked, the Ming people would definitely be in a hurry, regardless of their butts, and thus completely defeated in this battle against the Qi Kingdom.

But reality slapped him hard.

The soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty, which he considered elite, were unable to make progress in the face of the Ming army's defense, which subverted his cognition. Of course, what subverted his cognition was the weapons used by the Ming people.

It is precisely because of this weapon that this result is the result.

He carefully examined the dead bodies and wounded soldiers who were transported down. The people who were killed by the Ming Dynasty Style 1 were particularly shocked. The armor of the soldiers of the Tiger Dynasty could not resist at all. The copper warhead embedded in the bones easily penetrated the armor and penetrated into the human body, causing fatal damage.

These Westerners could not resist, but the soldiers of Daqi could not resist. What's even more terrifying is that he went to the front line in person and saw those people falling down with his own eyes, but he had no way to see how those people fell, except for the crisp sound of slap in his ears.

"Dagong, these houses are built with steel bars and cement. The entire wall is formed into one. The enemy hides in it to strike our army. Now, we can only dismantle all the catapults and crossbows on the warships to form a cover blow to these areas. No matter whether they can be crushed or not, they can always play a certain role in covering our infantry. Advance along the streets and roads, the opponent obviously has heavy troops on both sides, so we have no shortcuts to find, so we can only fight like this one building and one building."

"I can't even find a ladder, how can we climb upstairs?"

"Of course there are." Qin Li said lightly: "There are springboards on the boat and iron anchors. The springboards can be paved into the avenue to the roof. Throwing the iron anchors can allow us to have ropes to climb. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to even dismantle some boat boards."

Mattus's eye holes contracted, "Is there no other way except pushing it over like this?"

"No, at least I don't." Qin Li looked at Mattus: "Isn't this how the Grand Duke pushed over when fighting in wars?"

Mattus said angrily: "In the past, we could see the enemy, and knew that if we pushed the enemy like this, victory would be ours, but now, we can't even see the shadow of the enemy. Everyone was worried and naturally slow to move."

"Only by moving forward can you win. Grand Duke, in this battle, you attack the smallest place and the smallest defense force. If His Majesty Dansi takes Manila and Grand Duke Stenson takes Pattaya, do you still have a status in the Tiger Dynasty?" Qin Li said lightly.

Mattus took a deep breath, his face became a little ferocious. He turned to look at some officers in the room, "Go, do as Mr. Qin said."

Looking at the officers running away, Mattus said fiercely: "When I take Yangang, I will cut all the living people into pieces."

"When you win, you will naturally do whatever you want. This is the right of the winner." Qin Li turned around and left the house with a smile. He also wanted to go to the front line to see what that kind of weapon was.

In the second half of the night, the battlefield suddenly became quiet. Gongsun Yue did not relax because of this, because there were indeed too many attackers compared to the defenders. For the defenders, the enemy could take turns to attack, but they had very little rest time. Such silence was actually not a good thing. Either the enemy was preparing to do a sneak attack, or they were holding up some big moves. No matter which one, they needed to deal with it seriously.

"Sneaking is impossible." Li Zhiqiang, who commanded the three thousand retired soldiers, had a much stronger combat experience than academies like Gongsun Yue. He pointed to the searchlights on the building that were modified from the car lights. These guys emitting a blazing light shone the enemy's side brightly, but hid his side in the darkness. "Under such conditions, any sneak attack would become a strong attack, and the outcome of a strong attack is no different from those fighting during the day."

"They will definitely not stop." Gongsun Yue said.

"That's natural." Li Zhiqiang said: "I think we will usher in a real battle after dawn. Captain Gongsun, we must prepare for casualties."

"You mean they are going to use long-range weapons in large quantities?"

"Of course, there are a large number of catapults and crossbows on the warships!" Li Zhiqiang said: "A large stone weighing dozens of kilograms will be smashed down. Even a house with a steel and concrete structure can't hold on for a few times, right?"

"The heavy trench aircraft that can weigh dozens of kilograms should not be equipped on the warship, right?"

"Not too many, but there must be more weapons that throw stone bullets of a few to ten kilograms." Li Zhiqiang said: "Compared with the catapult, the threat of strong crossbows is much smaller, and they cannot penetrate the thick walls."

"Then our mortars and artillery can finally come in handy." Gongsun Yue suddenly laughed, "I hope our artillery fire will be more accurate."

Mattus was really angry and dismantled hundreds of trenchers from the warship in one breath, of which there were as many as twenty giant trenchers. Only the largest warship in his fleet could be equipped with one, and there were only thirty large warships in the entire fleet that could install such trenchers.

When these catapults began to set up formations opposite the Ming army, Gongsun Yue's eyes lit up immediately. Behind him, a cannon was ready to fire at any time. Standing in his position, looking left and right, there was a cannon on each building.
