Chapter 724
Although Japan is deeply influenced by Chinese culture, due to its own limitations, it does not have many things.
Take city walls for example. In the Ming Dynasty, most cities had city walls, which were not only complete but also technologically mature.
But on the Japanese pirate side, only a very small number of cities have city walls, such as Osaka.
Because earthquakes are common due to geographical conditions, they usually rely on natural terrain for protection.
For example, mountains, rivers, etc., just like the current Hidaka Castle, although it has no city walls, it is surrounded by mountains on two sides and faces the sea.
The only direction that was not blocked by the environment was the direction where Lan Yu was stationed, and this was also the key reason why Lan Yu was worried.
Given the geographical environment here, it would be useless even if Lan Yu wanted to divide his troops and take a detour. He could only attack from this route.
The key point is that the Japanese pirates have set up artillery here. Unless you sacrifice human lives, there is no way you can easily take over Hidaka Castle.
According to Wei Wu's observation, the Japanese pirates' forty cannons were set up one after another, and there were dozens of people guarding each cannon.
"Look! These bastards are practically treating these artillery pieces like their ancestors. There are always people watching them."
"It was still okay during the day, but at night, they could even light hundreds of bonfires and defend these artillery pieces with all their might."
"I originally wanted to send out scouts at night to try to blow up these artillery pieces, but in this situation, the scouts can't even get close."
Wei Wu, who was observing Hidaka City, immediately put down the telescope in his hand and turned to look at Lan Yu when he heard Lan Yu's words.
"They have massive bonfires every night?"
In response to Wei Wu's question, Lan Yu shrugged helplessly and continued:
"Yes! The surrounding environment is illuminated as if it were daytime. Even standing here at night, you can see clearly what's happening over there."
After hearing Lan Yu's answer, Wei Wu was not worried, but laughed on the spot.
"That's great! Isn't this turning yourself into a sitting duck at night?"
"what?"
Lan Yu looked at Wei Wu in confusion, not understanding why he said that, but Wei Wu did not explain much.
After Lan Yu finished speaking, he simply responded.
"Alright, that's it. Let's go back first. I'll start tonight. I should be able to finish half of it!"
After saying that, Wei Wu turned around and walked back towards the military camp. Judging from his light steps, he was obviously confident.
In fact, Wei Wu originally thought that it might take some time to deal with these artillery pieces, but now it seems that the time will be shortened a lot.
Lan Yu didn't know what Wei Wu was thinking, but he didn't ask much and just followed him.
Although Wei Wu did not elaborate, since he said he could handle a small part of it, Lan Yu believed that he could definitely do it.
After returning to the military camp, as soon as the two of them sat down in the tent, Wei Wu looked at Lan Yu and said:
"We don't have much food, so we need to get those artillery pieces as soon as possible. I'll get at least ten tonight, and maybe even twenty if I'm lucky."
"Tomorrow morning you will lead the troops to launch a general attack. Just focus on the fighting, and I will handle the remaining artillery."
Although Lan Yu trusted Wei Wu very much, he was still a little unsure about launching a general attack suddenly.
So after Wei Wu finished speaking, Lan Yu asked tentatively.
"Brother Wei Wu, how are you going to deal with those artillery pieces tonight?"
Hearing this, Wei Wu took out the telescope and handed it to Lan Yu, then said with a smile:
"You'll see when you see it tonight."
Seeing that Wei Wu was keeping him in suspense, Lan Yu didn't want to ask any more questions. He would know the answer by evening anyway.
It would be best if Wei Wu could get those artillery pieces in order, but if something went wrong, he would not be able to get the artillery pieces in order.
When the war starts tomorrow, he will also be able to decide how to fight.
Time passed slowly. More than ten hours had passed since Wei Wu and Lan Yu had their discussion, and it was already completely dark.
