The artillery of the Japanese people was advancing step by step, and Wu Daofu and their side had a larger number of artillery fire, but because the soldiers who operated the artillery position were not up to standard, they could not exert greater power, and they could not give more pressure to the Japanese people who were pressing in front of them, so that the Japanese artillery soon reached a favorable position and began to set up the artillery calmly.

Wu Daofu and the others could only watch as the Japanese gunners built the forts, aimed at the position, and began to test fire.

"Boom!"

The first shell grazed the edge of the walled city and entered the walled city, and then landed on an unfortunate house, opening a huge crack, and the whole house immediately became a dilapidated house, crumbling.

The second shell soon came out again, and every time they tried to fire, the shell landed closer and closer to the gate of the walled city, making Wu Daofu's face more and more ugly.

Although Wu Daofu had already ordered the artillery on the walled artillery position to focus on the three cannons two hundred zhang away from the bottom, there were very few shells that could finally shoot the cannonballs to the location of the three cannons of the Japanese people.

Moreover, in the case of the Ryukyu people, the 20 guns with the largest shell weight of no more than 10 catties, even if they were lucky enough to hit the position of the Japanese fort, the effect was not very obvious.

"Boom!"

Finally, after re-debugging several times, the shell of one of the three guns of the Japanese people just hit the gate of the walled city, and suddenly a depression the size of a basin was opened in the half-foot-thick walled gate.

Sure enough, before Wu Daofu could remind Xiao Xiurong and others who went down to block the door, the Japanese fired two rounds in a row, and another fired at the city gate, and the shells of the undead fell near the landing point of the previous shell, only to hear a loud "stab" sound, followed by the wailing of a group of people and the sound of earth and rocks jumping.

The city gate only blocked the shooting of two shells from the Japanese people, and it was shattered by the bombardment, and it was crumbling, if it weren't for Xiao Xiurong, they carried stones, sand and wood in advance and blocked behind the city gate, so that the city gate would have collapsed!

"Resist, don't let the city gate fall!!" Wu Daofu could only hope that Xiao Xiurong's soldiers under them were fast enough and their fighting spirit was brave enough, otherwise if they let the other party blast open the city gate, I am afraid that it would take less than a day to work hard, and the Amami Walled City would fall into the hands of the Japanese army.

Until now, most of the Ryukyu warriors have not come to their senses, even if there are Hongtang soldiers behind them with swords to force them to stand up and fight back, but in this battlefield in full swing, this group of recruits are still unwilling to resist.

"Whoa!"

Wu Daofu waved his long knife, bringing up a touch of blood, and the head of a Ryukyu warrior beside him who had been hiding behind the battlement fell to the ground on the spot, and on the neck of the missing head, blood gushed out like the fountain.

Without waiting for the head of this innocent warrior to hit the ground, Wu Daofu grabbed the head of the man and held it high in his hand, shouting: "If anyone dares to fight again, this is their fate!" ”

This was the first time since Wu Daofu stepped into the pirate industry that he pointed the knife at his own people, and when his whole body was soaked in the blood of the warriors he hacked to death, and roared with a hideous face, even the original Hongtang warriors felt chills.

Avoiding Wu Daofu's compelling gaze, the elite backbones of the original Hongtang who supervised the battle finally increased their strength a little, and the long knife in their hands turned around, and the back of the knife slapped vigorously on the eggs of this group of recruits, bringing a wail.

In the end, the threat posed by the non-commissioned officers who were currently standing in front of Danian was greater, and the Ryukyu recruits had to sneak out their heads, pick up their bows and crossbows, muskets, and begin to counterattack the approaching Japanese ranks.

However, at this time, the Japanese warriors had already rushed to the wall of Amami Castle with long ladders and swords, and climbed up along the wall with a scream.

As the Japanese warriors approached, the arquebuses of the Japanese did not have much effect, except for the fact that there were no Japanese soldiers near the city gate, and the east wall near the pier was full of people.

At this time, the advantage of the Amami Walled City was reflected, because there was Zhao Xingdou's Hongtang fleet overseas, and the Japanese commander Shimazu Hisao did not know how long Yuan Laoba and other pirates could withstand the attack of the Hongtang fleet, so he did not have time to make other siege tools from local materials, but used the long ladder made from Kagoshima to conduct the first wave of temptation.

At the same time, he also led his men to start building fortifications along the coast three or four miles away from the Amami Walled City, so that in the event that the pirates might lose, they could fight and defend against harassment attacks from the sea.

A condescending attack requires the Japanese warriors to climb up, and even if the Ryukyu warriors are novices, they can barely resist the first wave of siege battles of the Japanese people.

In addition, Shimazu Hisao could not let his group of tired troops launch a total as soon as they came up, and this offensive was just so that they could build a fortification on Amami Island as soon as possible to resist the attack from Amami Walled City and the sea, so the Japanese display racks that launched the offensive were actually not too many.

Even if it was just a tentative attack, the pressure on the Ryukyu warriors on Amami Island was so great that it almost made the Japanese warriors gain a foothold on the city walls several times!

If it weren't for Wu Daofu's foresight to place his elite in the team, as the backbone of the first line of fighting, I can't say that at this time, the main force of the Japanese people saw that the resistance in the walled city was so unbearable, and they would have already swarmed to kill the generals, where would they go to great lengths to dig fortifications and make plans for a two-sided battle.

It's just that Wu Daofu's side resisted hard, and the sound of the Japanese people's artillery bombardment was also rumbling continuously, although there were only three cannons, but the threat they brought to Wu Daofu and them was greater than the pressure on the Japanese people from the twenty cannons on the Amami Walled City.

The city gate was already dilapidated, and it was almost hung with its last breath, and it did not fall apart, thanks to the various large pieces of furniture, stones and wood, and even the collapsed courtyard wall that Xiao Xiurong and they struggled to collect behind the city gate, tied up with sacks, piled up behind the broken city gate, and filled in a hill to prevent the city gate from falling apart.

It's just that in this way, if the war is done effectively, everyone's plan to attack the Japanese army will be frustrated. In addition to the east gate, because of the conditions, the Amami Walled City only opened a back gate in the west city behind it, and if you want to send troops, you have to go around a big circle, I am afraid that it will delay the fighters.
