The morale of the army can indeed influence and determine the outcome of the battle in many cases, but that also has its prerequisites, and the strength of the two belligerents is evenly matched, and at the very least, there should not be too much difference, otherwise, no matter how high the morale is, you will not be able to win at all if they beat you out of ten! If this were not the case, there have been countless battles of all sizes from ancient times to the present, and why are only those classic examples of winning more with less being remembered and sung by the people, because that is a very difficult thing to do!

This is just like the war in front of us, the strength of the military and people of Haijing City is not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of Cao Ke's army, if Cao Ke's army is compared to a mighty lion, then the military and people of Haijing City are a rabbit! There is no condition for the two to be compared at all, and even if the morale of the military and people of Haijing City is mobilized to a considerable height by their prime minister, it cannot change this contrast of strength between the two sides!

The soldiers and civilians of Haijing City, who were stubborn and planned to fight to the end, completely provoked Cao Ke! The three young people were angry, and the consequences were very serious!

With Cao Ke's order, all the warships fired 10,000 guns in unison! Just like the vast clear sky, a muffled thunder exploded continuously, bringing people infinite shock and deterrence!

In the next moment, clusters of ceremonial flowers were placed on the walls of Haijing City! Clusters of mushroom clouds rose into the sky, and soil and gravel were scattered and splashed in all directions, and the sound of howling and screaming became a ......

After the first round of bombardment alone, the height of the walls of Haijing City dropped by more than five meters...... Five meters, although at first glance, such a number is not very shocking, but if you think about it carefully, you should have a different understanding!

As the capital of the Sunset Kingdom, the strongest country on the sea, the city wall of Haijing City can naturally be regarded as the strongest fortress in the entire East China Sea of the Lingtian Continent, but even so, it was bombarded by Cao Ke's fleet by as much as five meters with a round of artillery fire, which was not just a five-meter gap, but the entire city wall was bombarded down by five meters! You must know that the length of the city wall of Haijing City from left to right is more than two hundred meters, and it can be used to bombard the two-hundred-meter city wall by five meters with only one round of attacks, which shows the strength of Cao Ke's military strength at this time!

Cao Ke also used this most direct means to remind the hot-headed soldiers and civilians in Haijing City that it is useless to resist stubbornly, and disarming and surrendering is their only way to survive now!

However, Cao Ke obviously thought too much about the soldiers and civilians of Haijing City, or the soldiers and civilians of the Sunset Kingdom, and the kind of warrior spirit that the Sunset Kingdom advocated, so that they would not have any fear at all at this time! Looking at the dilapidated city wall that was already full of holes, and looking at the piles of incomplete, bloody corpses on the city wall, all the people in charge of Haijing City's defense, including the ordinary people who were helpless before, were furious!

"Haijing City is our homeland! Whoever dares to destroy our homeland, we will fight with them!"

"The enemy killed our compatriots like this, and we must avenge the tragic deaths of our compatriots!"

"Even if we fight to the last man, our Sunset Kingdom will not give in!"

"Yes, there are only heroes who die in battle in the Sunset Kingdom! There are no bears who surrender!"

"There's no point in defending the walls anymore! Rush into the sea, rush into the enemy's warship, kill an enemy, it's an enemy!"

"Kill, Rush, Defend Haijing City, Defend the Last Dignity of the Sunset Kingdom!"

......

Under the prodding of people with hearts, the soldiers and civilians of Haijing City finally lost all their senses, shouted loudly, waved the blades in their hands, opened the gate of Haijing City, and rushed out of Haijing City like a tide, rushing towards Cao Ke's fleet on the coast.

Cao Ke, who was standing on the bow of the flagship, was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, and then shook his head helplessly: "I didn't want to go on a killing spree, I always wanted to leave a line in my heart, but now it seems that I, the commander, are obviously too merciful......

"This is the samurai spirit of the Sunset Kingdom!" said Ryusi, who was standing behind, taking a step forward.

"Samurai spirit?" Cao Ke twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and he sneered: "This reminds me of a nasty country near my hometown...... Since the warrior spirit of your Sunset Kingdom is so similar to that of the country near my hometown, then I will never feel ashamed again when I kill your people!"

After speaking, Cao Ke raised his right hand high, and said coldly to the ant-like crowd in the direction of Wanghai City: "The battleships in the front row turn their guns and shoot these stupid people who are not afraid of death who rush up, and the other battleships continue to target the walls of Haijing City, and give me another round of bombardment!"

As Cao Ke's order was given again, the guns on all the warships of the entire fleet once again roared with a roar of urgency! This time, not only the walls of Haijing City, but even the large open space leading to the sea in front of Haijing City was completely covered by artillery fire!

Some of the soldiers and civilians of Haijing City who rushed out to board the enemy's warship were blown up into the sky by artillery fire, and some were directly bombed into countless parts...... Even if some of them survived Cao Ke's round of artillery attacks, they were all more or less injured, and for a while, the entire battlefield was filled with gunsmoke and blood, as if it was a hellish scene!

Looking at the city wall of Haijing City again, after the second round of bombardment by Cao Ke's fleet, the height of the city wall of Haijing City dropped by more than 10 meters! This is not that this round of bombardment is more powerful than the previous round of bombardment, but that the previous round of attacks has fundamentally shaken the foundation of Haijing City wall, and when this second round of bombardment comes, the hardness of Haijing City Wall is far from being compared with the past, so it is reasonable that the second round of bombardment has achieved more brilliant results than the first round......

Looking at the situation of the entire battlefield, Cao Hong, who was standing beside Cao Ke, finally nodded and said affirmatively: "Okay, Haijing City has completely lost the ability to resist, our troops can land and capture Haijing City and capture the palace of the Sunset Kingdom!"

Cao Ke naturally had no objection to Cao Hong's judgment, and it didn't take long for all the warships to start lowering their assault boats into the sea and carrying soldiers to the shore!

Originally, in such battles, the landing battle was the most arduous, and many battles in history were dominated by the sea, but when the landing was carried out, due to the heavy casualties, it had to give up the landing and give up the victory that was almost in hand.

However, this landing battle of Cao Ke's army was obviously different from the previous landing battles, because the resistance to the landing of Cao Ke's army was almost equal to zero!

The soldiers and civilians of Haijing City, who had rushed out earlier and were ready to fight hard with Cao Ke's army, were left with nothing left after Cao Ke's second round of artillery attacks, and the walls of Haijing City, which had some defensive tools, were also blown away by more than one-third of Cao Ke's two rounds of bombardment! By the time Cao Hong ordered the army to begin landing, Haijing City was already in a state of dead silence, and in the face of the overwhelming assault boats, the faces of all the people in charge of Haijing City's defense turned to ashes.

Everyone knows that today, there is no point in resisting, and our country is really defeated......

But when a country with a samurai spirit truly realizes its failure, the people of that country, or those who are loyal to the samurai spirit among the people of this country, will express their feelings in another almost extreme way, that is, ----seppuku!"

Many people, especially the military, looked at the enemy's army that had already resisted the coastline, drew their sabers one after another, and knelt down on the walls of Haijing City! These people shouted passionate slogans, and then stared at their red eyes, and resolutely plunged their sabers into their abdomen, and stirred them twice again until they died of breath......

There are many people who are willing to "sacrifice their lives for the country" in this way, and this is an extremely interesting scene, the enemy's army has not yet rushed over, and they themselves actually took the first step to play collective suicide...... I have to say that the samurai spirit, in some ways, is really strange enough!

After Cao Ke took the lead and rushed into the gate of Haijing City, the scene that could be seen as far as the eye could see was already bleak and cringe, and everyone in Haijing City looked at Cao Ke's team with an almost frightened look, and no one even dared to make a little extra sound!

Cao Ke thought for a moment, turned his head to Cao Hong beside him and said, "Big brother, you go and make arrangements, bring some soldiers, gather all the people in Haijing City to the open area outside the city, and at the same time, surrender the weapons of the enemy soldiers to prevent them from mutiniing......"

Before Cao Ke could finish speaking, Cao Hong was extremely shocked and asked: "Third brother, aren't you going to kill all the people in the entire Haijing City? You can't do this! Third brother, although the relationship between us and his Sunset Kingdom is hostile, but it will not hurt the civilians, and there is nothing to lose on our side, can you see if you let these ordinary people go?"

Cao Ke said with black lines on his head: "Big brother, what are you talking about? Who do you think of your third brother? Is I, Cao Ke, the kind of devil who kills people without blinking? I am not one of those little days...... Oh no, I'm not one of those Sunset Kingdom people, I won't kill innocent people!"

Cao Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said lightly: "It's best if you don't kill the people...... Then what do you want me to bring people together?"

After all, the palace of the Sunset Kingdom has not yet been defeated, and there are people moving around the city, which is not conducive to the battle of our army!"

"Okay! I know!" Cao Hong nodded clearly, no longer procrastinating, turned around, and went down to arrange.

Cao Ke raised his head, looked in the direction of the palace in the distance, then waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "All the rest of the people, follow me, rush!"
