A rapid whistle sounded immediately in the Edo Port Marine Corps camp, and a team of soldiers in charge of guarding immediately rushed to the fence of the barracks and set up muskets to wait for orders.

Hearing the whistle, the soldiers lying in the clothes jumped up and rushed out of the tent. The urgent and short remarks immediately echoed one after another. Yinxiang, Shi Shipiao, Longkodo were all sleeping on the warships, and only Lin Wei, Fu Anding and Fu Han were the three of them in the camp. When they heard the whistle, Fu Anding got up, grabbed his coat and rushed out, and then rushed directly to the fence and looked out. As soon as he looked, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

I saw a large black figure holding a short sword and spear rushing through the first fire like a tide. He didn't care about commanding the musketeers and immediately turned around and rushed towards the artillery position arranged in the camp. Behind him, there was immediately a "bang" sound of muskete shooting.

Mabu Quanyan and his group stood quietly on the side of the battlefield. Seeing the rogues rushing past the first fire, there were at least two Dings away from the camp. The other party's camp heard a dense gunshot. He couldn't help but frowned, and immediately he saw the row of rogues rushing in the front falling down.

He couldn't help but open his mouth wide. How could it be possible? How could the Qing Dynasty's muskets hurt people at such a long distance? Japanese artillery is not as good as humans, but in terms of muskets, they are arrogant. Their iron cannons are far superior to the Ming army in terms of range, but now even the Qing Dynasty's muskets are stronger than them.

He immediately thought of gunpowder. It must have been the Qing people who invented better gunpowder, otherwise it would be impossible for such amazing progress in muskets and cannons.

After the gunfire sounded, the roars rushed in rhythm and rolled down like cutting straw, but the continuous figures were still rushing forward one after another. While rushing, they kicked the fire apart, and the fire outside the field suddenly became dark.

At this moment, a "boom" sound came from the cannon, followed by several consecutive roars of cannons. Several shells fell side by side on the first line of defense very accurately. The burst shrapnel splashed, and the dense stormtroopers fell down immediately.

Flowering bullet! Mabu Quanyan was shocked. The other party was a navy, and he actually came ashore with a cannon? And there was a flowering bullet! A bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Before he could react, the sound of "boom boom boom boom boom" shells started to sound in batches, and the whistling shells instantly fell into the people, and the violent explosions rang out in pieces. In the dark night, countless fireballs flashed in the air or on the ground, and immediately cleared out an empty area among the dense crowd.

Mabu Quanyan's face turned pale. What kind of artillery is this? It can be bombarded at such a close distance? He stood fifty steps away and still heard the sound of countless shrapnel flying everywhere. The guards beside him immediately guarded him tightly.

All the ronin who charged were stunned by the violent explosions. They looked at the large crowd in front of them, which suddenly became empty, with corpses and rolling and wailing wounded people all over the ground, and they could not help but stop quickly. They looked at the situation in front of them and were stunned, not knowing what to do.

The ronin who had already rushed to the front, he couldn't help but hesitate to stop and look back when he heard such a violent explosion from behind. He was also stunned when he saw this situation. This was a situation that they could not imagine or imagine. Can the artillery have such great power?

After only a moment of hesitation, the ronin that continued to flow in succession was like a rushing river to push the crowd forward. Although the ronin in the flow was frightened, he was surrounded by a storm.

The crowd had just filled the range that was cleared by artillery fire, and the dense roar of artillery sounded again, and it was obvious that the roar of this round was more dense than the previous round and lasted for a longer time.

Mabu Quanyan couldn't help but close his eyes in pain. How many artillery guns did the Qing Navy have? Since it can be fired in turn like muskets?

The whistling group of shells not only landed in the old place, but also began to extend backwards. The dense explosion sounded again in the crowd, and the surging crowd was immediately blown out countless gaps. Even the ronin with good obedience could not withstand this rapid, high-density and high-intensity bombing, and immediately ran away like ants that exploded.

The Marine Corps did not stop at all. With the sound of commands, teams of soldiers joined the shooting ranks. The gunshots became denser round by round. The fire outside the military camp gradually faded, and only people were seen in the darkness.

At this moment, a huge firework suddenly burst out from the sky, illuminating the entire battlefield. All the ronin couldn't help but look up at the sky, fearing that it was a powerful artillery. The Marine Corps' musketeers seized this short opportunity and carried out two rounds of fire in a row. The artillery was not to be outdone and fired a round of volleys.

With the moment of light, Mabu Quanyan also saw the situation on the entire battlefield clearly. The first batch of 7,000 people had become a mess, and had no formation, and were rushing to escape. The empty space in front of the entire military camp was already full of corpses. Could the first wave of attack end like this? Should we launch another second wave of attacks? The question is, do those ronin dare to charge now?

Mabe Quanyan couldn't help but dare to make things difficult. What should I do? What should I do now? His three waves of attacks are related to it, and it directly affects the attack on the water and the subsequent general attack. It cannot be over just like this!

Such a huge movement on the shore had already alarmed all the warships anchored in the port. The rapid and sharp whistle echoed throughout the port, and all the soldiers stood up and gathered as fast as possible.

On the flagship, Yinxiang, Shi Shipiao and Longkodo all rushed to the deck early in the morning to look out. They couldn't drive in the dark, and there were only dense gunfire and roars of artillery.

Yinxiang said in a deep voice: "If you don't hear the sound of artillery and muskets in Japan, the camp will not be in danger."

"So many artillery bombardment, Japan must have dispatched a large number of troops." Longkodo sighed lightly: "This is not a night attack, this is purely a night battle and strong attack."

"This is just a prelude." Shi Shipiao said in a deep voice.

Prelude? There is such a fierce prelude? Yinxiang and Longkodo were both stunned when they heard it. Yinxiang hurriedly asked, "Why did General Shi say this?"

Shi Shipiao did not answer, but said in a deep voice: "Send an order to all warships stick to their respective posts and do not move rashly."

When Yinxiang and the others heard this order, they were even more confused. Since they judged that there were larger attacks on the land, why not order the warships to prepare for artillery fire support?

Shi Shipiao looked at the flashing flames on the shore motionlessly and said in a deep voice: "There are cavalry and musketeers in Japan. Knowing that we are very strict in defense, but we have not dispatched elite troops. This only means that the people attacking now are cannon fodder. Either the drunkard's intention is not to drink, or they want to fight on a rotating battle." (To be continued)
