The ten warships sailed quickly, especially at full speed. In a short time, they were close to the dock. The warships moved forward one by one. This situation was quickly discovered by the sentries at the dock.
"Woo! Woo! "
The soldier who was keeping watch sounded the horn.
After the bugle sounded, the soldiers guarding the cannons at the dock immediately began to observe the situation at sea. When they saw the warships approaching, the cannons began to turn and adjust the angle, preparing to fire.
However, at this moment, the cannons on the ten warships suddenly sounded.
Boom!!!
The dense sound of cannons rang out.
One by one, the mortars aimed at the dock and fired.
In fact, all the warships under Du Qi's command were equipped with cannons and binoculars. Because of the binoculars, they could observe the situation from afar.
Coincidentally, the position of the cannons at the dock was very obvious.
With the help of the binoculars, they could directly see the situation at the dock. Therefore, there was no need for the Wo Nation's army to support them. The warships fired directly.
The dense barrage of cannonballs landed near Great Qin's Cannon Forts.
There were cannons in this area.
There were also some cannonballs.
As the cannonballs fell and exploded, not only did they kill the soldiers responsible for firing the cannons, but they also detonated some bombs, causing the rumbling sound of explosions to rise and fall.
The entire area around the cannons was turned into a sea of fire.
Smoke and dust rose one after another.
Cries of agony could be heard continuously as the Qin soldiers were killed by the explosions one after another. It was not that they did not want to fight back, but because the mortars on the ten warships aimed at the cannons, the Qin soldiers could not fire at all.
After the continuous bombardment, the ten warships finally stopped firing.
The smoke and dust dissipated.
The warships had approached the dock and were ready to disembark. At this time, the cannons were useless. After all, once the distance was reduced, the cannons could not fire.
There were not many Qin soldiers left. Only 30 or so were still alive. They were ready to retreat, but just as they were about to leave, they were intercepted by the Wo Nation soldiers lying in ambush nearby.
Even if the Qin soldiers were armed with advanced weapons and even had muskets, it was useless.
After all, muskets were slow to fire.
Furthermore, it was troublesome to reignite the gun after it was fired. The true combat power of a flintlock was the ability to shoot continuously. Especially with the emergence of machine guns, firearms became the best weapon on the battlefield.
Therefore, the thirty odd Qin soldiers had no way of escaping.
All of them were taken down.
Not long after, Du Qi and the soldiers had already disembarked from the dock. After the ships docked, Du Qi, Uesugi Yilong, and the others quickly met up with the Japanese soldiers.
Du Qi saw Great Qin's soldiers, who were all North American natives. After all, North America had not been invaded by Europeans and had been developed by Great Qin.
After Du Qi sized it up, he no longer paid any attention to it.
Instead, he paid attention to the gun.
At present, Xia Xia did not have any firearms. But in reality, with Xia Xia's current strength, he had the ability to research and develop firearms. It was even possible for him to research and develop firearms.
It seemed that the research and development of firearms had to be put on the agenda.
Du Qi had an idea in his heart. If he wanted to conquer Great Qin, firearms would be a great weapon. However, in the current situation, there was no need to rush.
Du Qi captured the Qin soldiers and took their weapons. Then, he arranged for people to guard the dock and take control of the warships. In particular, he had to take control of all the warships on Great Qin's side.
Why did the Qin army have people guarding the dock?
It was not only because the dock was important, but also because there were many Great Qin warships docked there. Now that Du Qi had taken control of the dock, all of Great Qin's warships were under Du Qi's control.
Du Qi was not in a hurry to set off, but Uesugi Ichirou and Abe Boya were a little anxious.
They were all looking forward to sweeping through the Qin army.
Abe Boya took the initiative and said, "Ping Xiwang, now that we have taken control of the dock, we have taken down the Qin soldiers here. They had even seized the warships of the Qin army. Can we go to the capital now? "
Uesugi Ichirou said, "Ping Xiwang, the sooner we go to the capital and destroy the Qin army's Ping Xiwang, the sooner we can restore peace to the west."
The rest of the people from the big families also spoke.
They were all looking forward to it.
To them, Du Qi was just their tool, their leverage to weaken the Qin army. Now that Du Qi had come ashore, they could not wait to persuade him to attack.
Du Qi looked around at everyone and said, "The army under my command has just come ashore, and they are all exhausted. It is not worth it to attack now. My army needs to rest and reorganize for a while before attacking Great Qin's army. "
Abe Boya frowned and said, "Ping Xiwang, once time passes, Great Qin will definitely make a response. At that time, the Qin army will gather the Suwo family's forces and give us a lot of pressure. Furthermore, you will not be able to take down the Qin army. Ping Xiwang, speed is important in war, and the best way is to take down the Qin army in one go. "
Uesugi Ichirou also persuaded, "Ping Xiwang, please make the best use of your time. Once you miss this chance, it will be difficult to catch them off guard again."
Du Qi waved his sleeves and said, "Attacking now is the most disadvantageous. On the contrary, resting for a while is the most suitable. "
"Firstly, we have taken down their warships, causing them to have no resources and tools to go out to sea. Without this batch of warships, the Qin army's resources will be a problem. Even their weapons and ammunition will not be able to be replenished. "
"The one who should be anxious is the Qin army."
"I only need to stay at the dock, and the Qin army will come."
Du Qi continued, "Secondly, the strength of the Suwo family, including the strength of the Qin army, seems strong. But in reality, it is not a problem. Especially the cannons of the Qin army, which are mainly concentrated at the fort. Many of the weapons are still on the warships, so we do not need to be afraid of them. "
"If they attack together, we will be able to destroy them."
"This is the best chance."
Du Qi said, "Only then can we make sufficient preparations and wait for them to come. This is my judgment. Abe Boya, Uesugi Ichirou, what do you think of my analysis? "
Abe Boya's face twitched, and he said embarrassedly, "Your highness is wise!"
In truth, he was so eager to rush because he had two thoughts. The first was to destroy the Qin army as soon as possible. The second was to take advantage of the fact that Xia Xia's army had not returned. If they fought, both sides would suffer heavy losses, and the Japanese would be able to take advantage of it.
Who knew that Du Qi would not be willing to send out troops.
The plan was broken.
