Here, Liu Tong led his troops to the east gate of Humao City without rest, and a few sea wolf warships over there had already arrived in the river channel outside Humao City.

Without saying a word, the sea wolf's ships immediately began to bombard Humao City, and the cannonballs whizzed into the walls of Humao City and the city.

Humao City was built on the shore of the middle road of the Kowloon River, although these warships were not heavy gunboats, and the firepower of each ship was not too strong, but the worst on board were also equipped with twelve-pounder mountain howitzers, some of which were not reloaded, and some six-pounder light guns, and one of the ships was also equipped with a 32-pounder Caron gun.

This kind of Caron cannon doesn't look at the short range, but the power is quite powerful, when the shelling at close range, the thirty catties of cannonballs smashed over, even if it is a city wall made of bricks and stones, it is a little unbearable.

For a while, the sound of cannons on the river surface became one, and the smoke and flames filled the entire riverway, and the hot cannonballs fell one after another in the Humao City, and the bricks and stones that smashed inside and outside the Humao City were flying sideways.

What's even more terrifying is that when the sea wolf was shelling Humao City, the gunboat loaded with the thirty-two-pounder Caron cannon actually used grenades that were not very commonly used.

Now because of the gunpowder and shell casting, the power of the grenade is not very large, the huge shell, can only be filled with a small amount of gunpowder, after the shell lands, it is generally a few petals, the lethality is not very large, but because the shell can explode, the psychological pressure on the enemy is very great.

When a grenade fell into Humao City and exploded violently, an unlucky soldier flew up on the spot, and his internal organs were also blown up in all directions.

When Cao Qian was busy suppressing his soldiers everywhere, directing them to fire back with artillery, and preparing to resist the attack of the sea wolf foot soldiers, Liu Tong's side also began to act.

First, the two twelve-pounder mountain howitzers they carried were aimed at the city, and this time they ventured directly to the city walls, using shotgun fire, and each time the cannon passed, it was like a torrential rain on the city walls, and the slightest mistake would be beaten into a sieve on the spot.

Some of the officers and soldiers who were the first to resist here were caught off guard and were beaten to minced meat, so frightened that the officers and soldiers who were alive could only hide behind the women's wall, shouting in panic, and even indiscriminately setting fire guns and bows and arrows, which were unruly and did not pose any threat to the sea wolves at all.

Liu Tong immediately ordered half a company of musketeers to shoot accurately at the city wall, and shot anyone as soon as they found activity, even those who hid behind the female wall and shot outwards from the holes.

At first, the officers and men dared to hide in the holes of the battlements of the women's wall and look out, and from time to time they would put a fire gun or a few arrows down, but when the sea wolf's bird gun fired, they found that it was not safe to do so.

Several officers and men were lying on their stomachs and looking out of the perforation, when suddenly their heads were opened, and some officers and men, who showed their bodies at the battlement, were also immediately shot and fell.

Only then did the officers and men discover that the sea wolf's bird gun could actually shoot very accurately from a long distance, and it could even directly pass through the narrow perforation, shoot the pistol into the perforation, and shoot the person hiding behind.

At this time, the officers and soldiers completely collapsed, one by one on the city wall, they were short on the city wall, just lying on the city wall, crawling everywhere, and some people simply lost their guys and fled into the city.

The rest of the sea wolf tribes, instead of storming the city wall, carried a few powder kegs, and under the strong cover of the musketeers, they directly held their shields and rushed into the door hole of the east gate, and stacked them at the city gate.

After a few soldiers rushed out of the city gate, they suddenly heard an earth-shattering roar from the city gate.

A large cloud of dust and smoke, mixed with a large number of masonry and stones, rose into the sky, and the city gate, which was not very strong, was suddenly blown apart, and flew towards the inside of the city gate cave, and even the small city tower above the city gate cave also collapsed at the same time.

Some officers and soldiers hiding in the cave of the city gate were blown to pieces on the spot, and the fragments of the corpses flew far and wide, and some of the pieces of meat were simply pasted on the wall.

"Brethren, get on bayonets! Rush! Seeing that the city gate was blown open, Liu Tong raised his sharp waist knife high, and slammed it towards Humao City, roaring loudly.

Bayonets clicked to the muzzles of the soldiers, and a tsunami-like shout of killing rang out outside the east gate at the same time.

Hundreds of sea wolf infantrymen, armed with bayonets and led by their respective company platoon commanders and squad leaders, roared like a tide and poured into Humao City.

Under the strong attack of the sea wolf tribes, the original seemingly strong Humao City only lasted for an hour under the attack of the sea wolf tribes, and then announced that it was broken, and the sea wolf tribes who attacked the city were shot with muskets in the distance and stabbed with bayonets in the near distance, and it took less than an hour to control the entire Humao City in their hands.

The Cao Qian in the city was loyal, seeing that the city gate was broken, he still led more than 20 of his own soldiers without hesitation, and launched a counterattack on the city gate, but in front of the sharp muskets of the sea wolf troops, their counterattack was just a flash in the pan, and they were quickly drowned by the sea wolf people.

Cao Qian always died, the city is a group of dragons without a leader, the defenders saw that the situation was not good, immediately opened the west gate and rushed out, fled to the shore one after another, some people with good water nature simply took off their clothes, jumped directly into the river, and swam towards the opposite bank, but most of them because they did not know the nature of the water, under the pursuit of the sea wolf, finally kneel and surrender.

Humao City was broken, and it was announced that Yuegang had lost its last barrier, and the entire Yuegang was like a woman who had been stripped naked, and then the sea wolf could go on as much as he wanted.

Although there was still a fort on the eastern shore of Yuegang, there was still a fort for the officers and soldiers, leaving about one or two hundred officers and soldiers to guard it, and a few cannons were also arranged, but before the sea wolf's fleet arrived, the officers and soldiers guarding here had already fled, and even the cannons were directly thrown on the fort.

The funny thing is that the officers and soldiers ran so fast that even the cannon's cannon barrels and other accessories were simply thrown on the fort, if it were someone else, the cannon could be directly turned to the muzzle and aimed at Yuegang to start shelling.

Fortunately, the sea wolf didn't like to use the cannons cast by these officers and soldiers, because the safety of this thing was really questionable, but what made Yu Xiaotian happy was that among these cannons, three of them were 500 catties of copper hair, which was a good thing, so after the infantry captured the fort, he ordered all the cannons here to be dismantled, loaded on the ship and transported back to Tamsui City to be rebuilt.

At this time, the area around Yuegang was full of merchant ships, there were hundreds of them, and the owners of these merchant ships were all like mourners, although they were in a hurry, but there was nothing they could do, they could only stare dryly and watch the fleet of sea wolves slowly sail away.

At this time, the officers and soldiers guarding Yuegang just saw the fleet of sea wolves appear in their sight, so they scattered on the spot, scattered one by one, and fled in the wilderness, making Yuegang suddenly lose its last protection.

However, after the sea wolf's fleet arrived here, they did not attack the merchant ships here, and Yu Xiaotian immediately sent a number of sampans, and the sailors rowed to the merchant ships docked at the riverside docks.

At this time, the owners of the merchant ships had already been frightened, seeing that the cargo was about to be finished, but there was no way, and they did not dare to resist, because at this time resistance could only be said to be looking for death, so they could only watch the sea wolf control the moon port.

Among the merchant ships, there were several big shipowners, each of whom had more than a dozen ships of various kinds, and when he saw that the sea wolves did not immediately attack them, as a shrewd businessman, he immediately realized that there might be a glimmer of opportunity in the matter.

So they hurriedly got together to discuss it, and sent stewards or stewards one after another, and each of the big guys made up a few hundred taels of silver, and some of the shipowners had more ships, so they simply took out one or two thousand taels of silver, and made up about ten thousand taels of silver in total, and hurriedly bought dozens of pigs, dozens of sheep, and hundreds of chickens and ducks, and more than a hundred jars of good wine.

These people who were sent out, trembling, drove a dozen small boats, waving white flags, and cautiously headed towards the fleet of sea wolves.

Halfway down the road, they were stopped by the sea wolf's long boat, and after asking them what they wanted to do, they were escorted to the convoy.

Yu Xiaotian let them get on his temporary boat, and met them on the boat, and he naturally unceremoniously accepted all the things that these people had put together.

And the people sent by these shipowners took the opportunity to put forward the hope that the sea wolves would let their cargo go, to which Yu Xiaotian nodded and agreed.

But Yu Xiaotian also put forward his request, ordering these shipowners to immediately sail their ships out of the Jiulong River, first stop at Zhongzuosuo and Kinmen Island, and wait for the next step, but Yu Xiaotian also gave them a reassurance, that is, the sea wolf will not forcibly confiscate their ships and goods, but the premise is that they must first do what he tells them, if anyone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to slip away, then I'm sorry, the ship and the cargo are the sea wolf's, but as long as they obey the arrangement, then they will ensure the safety of their ship.

Yu Xiaotian's promise suddenly made these shipowners breathe a sigh of relief, now the sea wolf is the boss, of course they have the final say, now the escape is definitely impossible, can they outrun those clippers of the sea wolf? Since you can't run, you can only listen to other people's orders.

As long as they can keep their cargo, then they still have a chance to turn over, if the cargo is gone, then they will be completely bankrupt, you must know that these maritime merchants do sea trade, not only with their own money, many of their ships are used in the way of joint shares, and a lot of people's silver can do such a big deal.

Often when each ship goes to sea, it has to purchase a lot of goods, and these goods need to use a lot of money, and it is difficult to do this with only the liquidity they have on hand, so these maritime merchants will use the method of IPO to solve the problem of capital gap.

Many wealthy people had spare money on hand, but they did not dare to risk such a sea trade themselves, but the silver could not be put in the cellar to make money, so they had to find a way to make money, and there happened to be a lack of liquidity for the maritime merchants, so they were happy to give this spare money to these merchants.

Even many officials themselves secretly put the silver in the hands of the maritime merchants, to eat dividends, or to get interest, once these ships on the sea are gone, they will not care about these things, they will definitely block the door to the maritime merchants to collect debts.

When many maritime merchants went to sea, they were robbed by pirates, and after losing both their cargo, they ended up bankrupt, and many of them were even forced to die by creditors, and even their family members were taken away to pay off their debts and serve as slaves.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian promised them that he would not forcibly seize their cargo, which had already made these shipowners very grateful, and now they were asked to temporarily go to Zhongzuo and Kinmen Island to wait for the next step of disposal, and they naturally did not dare not listen.
