The reason why Xu Jin ordered the Ming army to take down Osumi Island within two hours was not because he was too blind and arrogant, but because he made a decision after carefully measuring the combat power of both sides.

As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. The family background of Wang Zhi and his son was originally left to them by Xu Jin, and Xu Jin naturally knew their strength. In just one year, the troops under Wang Zhi and his son could increase sharply, but the number and level of firearms could not be greatly improved.

You should know that making firearms requires not only raw materials, but also craftsmen with excellent attainments and a lot of time and money. For example, the Military Weapon Bureau of the Ming Dynasty took nearly two years to develop the Red Cannon with drawings as reference. With the resources mastered by Wang Zhi and his son, it is difficult to imitate the flintlock rifle and the Flang machine cannon in less than a year, let alone innovation.

Although the navy led by Xu Jin this time had only 20,000 combat troops, the weapons were so exquisite that it was really shocking. There were only tens of thousands of flintlock guns, 500 Folang machine cannons, more than a thousand traditional bowl-mouth cannons, 5,000 firearms of various types, and ten red cannons.

It can be said that the strength of the Ming Navy is completely crushing. It is ridiculous that Mao Haifeng thought that the firearm equipment of the Ming Navy was similar to that before. With his 50,000 troops and the advantage of occupying the terrain, he could fight with the Ming Navy, or even win it in battle.

However, as soon as we met, the rebel navy was dizzy and was defeated by the Ming army's storm-like artillery fire and was defeated!

"Retreat!" Mao Haifeng saw that the defeat had been achieved and was powerless to turn the situation back, so he had to order a retreat. Under the escort of his personal soldiers, he quickly retreated to the island and headed straight for the Hui Prince's Mansion.

Although Mao Haifeng was just Wang Zhi's adopted son, he was still loyal and filial. He did not forget to bring his adopted father before retreating.

However, just as Mao Haifeng led all his personal guards into the Hui Prince's Mansion, a sharp roar suddenly came from the air, and the personal guards hurriedly threw Mao Haifeng down.

boom--!

A shell landed on the hall in the middle of the Huiwang Mansion, and the building collapsed on the spot. With a loud bang, broken stones and tiles flew everywhere, and dust filled the sky.

It took a long time before Mao Haifeng got up from the crowd, covered in dust, and all he heard were crying, screams and moans of pain.

"Entertainment Father, Entertainment Father!" Mao Haifeng looked at the completely collapsed hall in front of him, opened his throat and shouted, and was immediately coughed violently by choking.

The guards were covered in dust and looked at the ruins in front of them. When they exploded like this, King Hui was probably robbing and running away, right?

"What are you doing when you stand there? Save people!" Mao Haifeng rushed forward and struggled to move away the bricks and stones and wood. The guards rushed forward and persuaded him: "General, it's too late. The Ming army is about to attack the island, let alone the bombing is like this. The prince is unlikely to be alive. So hurry up and leave, keep the green mountains there, and don't be afraid of no firewood."

At this time, gunfire near the port became increasingly dense, and the Ming army was obviously already landing.

Although Mao Haifeng was in love with Wang Zhi, he had not yet sacrificed his life. Seeing that he was a cheap man, he gave up decisively and fled to the west of the island with his own guards.

"Rare, kill!"

At the southern port of Osumi Island, the Shenji Battalion led by Wang Liner took the lead in launching a landing battle. Hundreds of fast ships rushed to the shore. The rebels did not know that Mao Haifeng had escaped and were still fighting stubbornly. They used flintlock rifles and bows to attack the Ming army trying to land, which caused a lot of casualties to the Shenji Battalion.

A small team of soldiers from Shenji Camp who had already landed ashore were suppressed by the rebels' firepower on the mudflats, and they could not advance or retreat, and were in full swing. At this time, the second echelon led by Xie Sanliang arrived in time to support, and the firepower of the Ming army increased greatly.

By the way, the three thousand men led by Xie Sanliang were selected from the Beijing camp. The combat power can only be said to be average, but half of them were equipped with flintlock rifles.

Bang bang bang bang...

With the support of powerful firepower, the soldiers of the Shenji Camp successively boarded Osumi Island. Pi Yi, the boy, took out an oval thing from his backpack, pulled out the rope on it, and then threw it into the rebels' fortifications.

Then there was a loud bang, and the wall made of stones collapsed on the spot. Several rebels inside also went to report to King Yama.

"Wow, this thing works so well. Grandma's, let me eat melons!" Pi Shiyi took out another grenade made of pig iron, pulled off the leads and threw them out, and the other soldiers from the Shenji Camp followed suit.

In an instant, the rebels' fortifications bloomed on all sides, with countless casualties and wounded. The Shenji Battalion took the opportunity to advance and controlled the first fortification. In this way, thousands of people from the Shenji Battalion quickly boarded Osumi Island. Then Xie Sanqin also led the second echelon to successfully land and completely controlled the port to the south.

At the same time, Shaoxing Guard Commander Feng Guoqing also led his army to launch a fierce attack on the northern port of Osumi Island.

Although Feng Guoqing's combat power was not as good as the Shenji Camp, they were all old soldiers who participated in the battle to combat the Japanese. They were experienced and successfully landed one after another under the cover of fierce artillery and finally controlled the port in the north.

As the second echelon in charge of the support, Hou Qiuluan of Xianning did not spend much effort to land behind Feng Guoqing. After easily obtaining the credit, Qiuluan was naturally very excited. Taking advantage of the gap when Feng Guoqing's troops cleared the port, they led people to jump into the island.

Feng Guoqing was shocked and angry. It was obvious that Qiu Luan was going to take credit for the sake of merit, but the other party was from the old Wuxun Group, and behind him was Xu Pengju, the military supervisor of Wei, so Feng Guoqing dared not speak out.

However, Qiu Luan wanted to take the credit, but unfortunately the rebels on the island were not vegetarians. Before Qiu Luan could kill near the Hui Palace, he encountered a rebel army. Although this rebel army had only a few hundred people, everyone was equipped with flintlock rifles, which was Wang Zhi's guards.

Bang bang bang bang...

A round of guns swept over, and dozens of people under Qiu Luan were fucked on the spot, scaring them to avoid it quickly. Fortunately, although Qiu Luan is a brother of the noble son [Biquge www.bequge.xyz], he is not like Guo Shouqian, and he is still a little real skill, otherwise he would not be able to win the third place in the martial arts ranking.

Qiu Luan called and shouted, finally stabilized her position, and then ordered her subordinates to launch a counterattack against the rebels on the opposite side. During the fierce battle, a Ming army arrived and attacked from the flank, which immediately beat the rebels to pieces.

Qiu Luan looked at it and found that Xie Sanqian was leading the team. His face suddenly turned dark and he cursed grandma, this guy is so cheap!

Xie Sangu eliminated Wang Zhi's guard, seized hundreds of flintlock rifles, walked over and bowed to Qiu Luan and smiled, "General Qiu, I'll give in!"

Qiu Luan naturally did not dare to offend Xie Sanqian, and said with a smile: "General Xie Shen is so serious, say goodbye!" After saying that, he waved his hand and quickly rushed to the Hui Prince's Mansion with his people.

Seeing this, Xie Sanliang couldn't help but shrugged and said, "Does Qiu Luan still want to compete with Shenji Camp for the achievements?"

Sure enough, when Qiu Luan led his men to the Huiwang Mansion, the scene had been blocked by the Shenji Camp. At this time, the soldiers of the Shenji Camp were carrying bricks and stones. It is said that Wang Zhi was pressed against the collapsed His Highness.
