Chapter 430: Siege Below the City
Ye Qingyun gazed solemnly at the troops outside Dengzhou city.
At the front were the Wokou soldiers; behind them stood the tall, red-haired, blue-eyed, high-nosed Dutch soldiers.
Seeing the muskets carried by the Wokou and Dutch soldiers, Ye Qingyun felt a heavy pressure. Ever since Qingzhou equipped its troops with muskets, the power of this devastating weapon was known to the local commanders.
Having fought alongside Qingzhou’s troops, they had firsthand experience of muskets’ power and still harbored fear.
Now, with 4,000 musketeers outside Dengzhou city, he naturally felt tense—especially since the force included six cannons.
However, there was some relief. Dengzhou’s city walls now had artillery. After choosing this location for the shipyard, 36 cannons had been transported from Qingzhou in succession.
These cannons were their only firearms, though compared to the many li-long city walls, they seemed insignificant.
Below the city, Rhodes laughed mockingly at the soldiers on the walls, but his expression soon changed as they spotted the cannons.
“It seems the Chu King did not lie; this Qi King is truly different,” Rod’s expression gradually shifted.
Compared to Rhodes , Sakai’s attitude was reckless. He said to him , “Ambassador, now is the time to show these Great Yu soldiers some real power.”
