In this regard, Sun Chuanting was willing to trust Qi Yuanbi. He nodded and said trustingly, "However you think is appropriate, please arrange it. You don't need to ask me about this."

"Thank you, Marshal." Qi Yuanbi said hurriedly.

Qi Yuanbi, who came from a military family, knew very well that being able to gain the commander-in-chief's unreserved trust was a reflection of a general's ability and also meant that the commander-in-chief was willing to sincerely cultivate him.

Sun Chuanting nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let's get started."

The Ming army had breakfast and everything was almost ready. Everyone was doing their own work in an orderly manner, as they had practiced countless times.

The artillery positions had already been prepared, and because there was no need to worry about surprise attacks, they could be arranged very calmly; the heavy machine gun positions had also been set up, and the rockets were also ready.

Everything can be carried out very safely and step by step, and the opponent does not have long-range firepower that can hit so far. In the current situation, the Ming Dynasty's ground equipment is simply bullying.

At the front of the position, Sun Chuanting got a chair and sat on it. There was someone behind him holding an umbrella, looking very confident.

No one laughed, and no one thought it was inappropriate. This kind of calmness is what a coach needs.

After yawning and looking around, Sun Chuanting straightened his face and said, "Since it's almost time, let's get started."

"Yes, Marshal." Qi Yuanbi agreed and went to give the order.

Soon, the Ming army pushed forward in an orderly manner, still firing rockets and artillery.

"Swish swish!"

“Boom boom boom!”

Thousands of cannons fired at the same time like thunder. Immediately, shells rained down on Edo Castle without any distinction between front, back, left, or right. The castle exploded into a blazing fire, with flames rising into the sky and billowing smoke and dust covering the sky.

The explosion sent rubble from the city walls flying miles away. Edo Castle was engulfed in flames, with many houses and trees scorched.

This time there was plenty of ammunition and Sun Chuanting never called for a stop.

This time, the purpose of this battle is to destroy Edo in one go. Sun Chuanting wants to use this battle to thoroughly establish the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in Japan and kill all the Japanese pirates to report to the Yanhuang!

The battlefield was filled with smoke and nothing could be seen clearly.

After bombing for nearly half an hour, Sun Chuanting raised his hand to signal that it was time to stop.

Turning his head to look at Qi Yuanbi beside him, Sun Chuanting said, "Let them go up."

"Yes, Marshal." Qi Yuanbi quickly agreed and waved to the side.

The sound of war drums suddenly rang out, which was the order to attack.

On both sides of the army, two groups of soldiers suddenly rushed out, "Kill!"

They carried the ladders, shouted and rushed forward into the fog. They ran very fast, as if afraid of being left behind, and rushed straight towards Edo Castle.

"Let our secret sentry follow." Sun Chuanting said again.

"They have been sent out." Qi Yuanbi nodded and said.

The two troops that rushed out were naturally not from the Ming Dynasty. The one on the left was the Korean army, and the one on the right was the army that the Ming Dynasty surrendered from Japan.

I had heard Qi Yuanbi say before that Yu Zigao seemed to have put a lot of effort into subduing these Japanese people. Facts have proven that this decision was the right one and the results were very good.

Since the war began, all the Japanese who surrendered have been assigned to these people. They have done very well and have been able to help with the war in recent times.

Sun Chuanting had become increasingly fond of this tactic: the Ming army would fire a round of artillery fire, and then they would advance. If there were any remaining enemies, they would be allowed to destroy them; if they could not be destroyed, the Ming army would advance from behind.

At this time, the fog on the battlefield had dissipated, and these Korean troops and the surrendered Japanese soldiers also rushed into the city, and shouts of killing rang out instantly.

It turned out that the Japanese pirates, seeing the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army, hid in bunkers to preserve their strength, waiting for the infantry to attack and then organize a resistance.

There was a melee and a scuffle. The streets were filled with the sounds of gunfire and killing. The whole city seemed to come alive.

Soon, a rider in front brought back news from the front line.

Qi Yuanbi walked over with a stern expression.

"Marshal, they've been prepared for a long time." Qi Yuanbi looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "It seems they built fortifications and dug tunnels inside the city. They came out after our people entered the city, and now they are fighting fiercely with the Koreans. Moreover, these people are fearless and unafraid of death. It seems that we are in trouble."

"I guessed it." Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "They've been dealing with us for so long, they should have figured it out. But they're thinking well. It seems the commander is also a capable person."

The other party's plan seemed simple and insignificant. But these days, the simplicity of a plan wasn't important; what mattered was whether it worked.

Judging from the current situation, it is useful. As long as they hold out for a wave in the city, effectively kill the Koreans and the surrendered Japanese, and annihilate them in the city, then the subsequent battles will be difficult to fight.

The Ming Dynasty now basically has a routine for fighting wars: attack the city with artillery fire, and then the Korean army will attack.

If these Korean troops were gone, the Ming army would have to go up on its own. At that time, it would be the time for a decisive battle. So if you want to annihilate the Ming army, you can annihilate the Korean army first.

This is the method adopted by the other side, hoping to involve the Ming army. After all, the Ming army is small in number, and if it is involved, there will definitely be casualties. Even if the weapons and equipment are advanced, it will not work, as they can launch a sneak attack in the city.
