Fuso is not too far away from Yan Kingdom. After Emperor Akihito ordered to send more troops to Yan Kingdom, the soldiers and horses gathered took a warship and embarked on the road to Yan Kingdom.

This time, there were dozens of ships on this trip, and each ship was full of soldiers.

Knowing that the war was imminent, they started working day and night from the day they set out to sea. The mighty ships rode the wind and waves, heading westward, and finally arrived at Shawan Port in a few days.

This is the route given by Huang Tianwei before. Compared with other ports, this port is the most suitable for landing.

The coastal defenses here were old and the troops were weak. In the first landing operation, they had already wiped out all the troops here. Therefore, just like the previous times, this time they still chose to land here.

On the deck, the 22-year-old Saigo Ryo, the son of the three leading figures of the reformist group, held a telescope in his hand and was looking at the coast in the distance.

When he saw the flag flying high on the tower, he raised the corner of his mouth and showed a smile.

"The port of Yan Kingdom is quite decent. It's not as dilapidated as I imagined."

This was his first time coming to Yan Country, so he was very excited at the moment. However, as soon as he finished speaking, Si Dao in the mountains frowned.

Unlike Saigo, who had only joined the army for a few years, Terashima Yamanaka, the son of the conservative Yamanaka Takuma, was already in his thirties. Two and a half years ago, he and his father participated in a naval battle with the Red Flame Army.

At this moment, he also held a telescope in his hand and said in a deep voice:

"In the previous landing operations, it stands to reason that most of the coastal defenses here were destroyed. Why are there signs of repairs now?"

"There are so many holes in this row of walls. These are the mouths of cannons."

After the words fell, Xixiang smiled and said:

"Does this need to be said? It must have been repaired by General Ito."

"It won't be long before this is our territory. No... it's already our territory. Is there any problem with repairing the coastal defense of our territory?"

"General Ito is so thoughtful. Haha."

Yamanaka Terajima was still looking at the coastline, and he said coldly: "Impossible!"

"The war is not over yet, why do you need to do such a thing at this time? If you have this time, you might as well devote your troops to the next battle!"

"At least we have to wait until Yan Kingdom is completely captured! How stupid!"

After the words fell, Xixiang Liao became furious and immediately shouted:

"Baga! How dare you slander General Ito behind his back!"

"You are guilty of the following! Watch your words!"

Yamanaka Terajima snorted coldly: "I said it's possible that General Ito didn't do this!"

"Maybe the people in the port at this moment are not our people! The port has been controlled by Yan State!"

"Nonsense!" Xixiang Liao retorted immediately. He picked up the telescope again and continued:

"Did you see that! Did you see that semaphore! Only our people can display such a semaphore!"

"They're greeting us!"

After saying these two sentences, Saigo put down his telescope and glared at Yamanaka Terajima: "You should understand the situation!"

"If Murata and the others hadn't been wiped out, how could General Ito and us rush over in such a hurry? General Ito is leading the new army, and Miura's musketeers are far more powerful than Murata's soldiers and horses!"

"This is nothing you can compare to!"

"Ha! What you said seems to be saying that General Ito and the others have been defeated, and even the port has been taken away. Don't you think this is ridiculous?!"

Yamanaka Terajima put down his looking glass and looked at Saigo coldly:

"How many battles have you fought?"

"You think you will be invincible with new weapons?"

"Wars are started by people, wars are fought by people, and weapons are used by people. On the battlefield, anything can happen. You look so confident and confident, but you would have died eight hundred times on the battlefield."

Xixiang blushed and became furious:

"Shut up! In this battle, are you the commander-in-chief or the commander-in-chief! His Majesty the Emperor appointed me as the commander-in-chief!"

Yamanaka Terajima was silent.

After Murata and his troops were wiped out, the old-school generals headed by his father could not be reused in the country. If it were before, he would definitely appoint himself, who had more battlefield experience, as the commander-in-chief.

But now, everything has changed.

"Land ashore!!" Xixiang shouted loudly.

Yamanaka Terajima still couldn't help but said:

"It would be more appropriate to send a ship to take a look first."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

Xixiang Ryo looked at the port with a telescope, but a smile appeared on his face.

He threw the telescope into Terashima's hand and sneered, "See for yourself."

"Miura is standing at the port with our people."

"If I guess correctly, it seems that after General Ito landed, the situation on the battlefield changed."

When he said this, Xixiang became more and more disdainful and continued:

"The Yan State army that defeated Murata seems to have been defeated by General Ito. This is the combat power of our new army. Murata and the others cannot match it."

Yamanaka Terajima picked up the looking glass and saw Miura standing on the port with many soldiers behind him.

After seeing these people, Yamazaka put down his looking glass and walked towards the cabin with a cold face.

Seeing him leave, Xixiang became more and more proud and laughed: "In the mountains! This time we land, we are about to come down!"

"You are my lieutenant, you can't hide in the cabin and dare not come out to see people!"

Shanzhong remained silent and walked into the cabin.

Xixiang on the deck waved his hand and shouted: "Get ready for landing!"

"Yes! General!" the soldiers shouted.

Xixiang took a deep breath and smiled on his face.

"Okay, it is indeed a good place."

"When we get here, even the air seems to be sweet!"

-

Shawan Port.

Behind the city wall, Dian Wei touched his chin and said:

"The little Japanese is here, should I fight him?"

Qin Ze stood on the side with his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "Wait, get closer."

"Enter the range, hit more, destroy their ships, and destroy their ships and people. It will save some effort."

Dian Wei expressed his approval. He walked to the fort and took the fire certificate from the soldier on the side.

"Lord, I want to fire the first shot!"

Qin Ze nodded slightly.

There are two types of artillery installed on the repaired fortifications, one is the Crouching Tiger Cannon, and the other is called the General Cannon.

Among them, the Crouching Tiger Cannon is extremely suitable for both close combat and long-distance combat, but its power is not as powerful as the General Cannon.

The barrel length and muzzle caliber of the general cannon are second to none among artillery. The barrel has strong extended firepower and can withstand greater shell pressure.

And this means that they not only have a longer range, but also have a larger gunpowder capacity.

In addition, general cannons can fire different ammunition. Round lead bullets are mainly responsible for blasting city fortresses and defending plain areas, while smaller shotguns are responsible for clearing enemy troops in the field of view, thereby realizing the alternate use of primary and secondary artillery shells. .

According to different calibers, general cannons are divided into large general cannons, second general cannons, third general cannons, etc.

At this moment, as the Fuso fleet approached, the soldiers began to push the artillery and extend the barrels from the muzzles of the city wall. Some other artillery were also raised to high points.

This coastal fortification is now beginning to show its fangs.
