Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

463. Expedition to Japan

epydz (Although Tokugawa Ieyasu purged Koga's ninja group during his lifetime, there are still ninja troops of Hattori clan in the shogunate army, and thanks to Holland's many years of selling Thai and Western goods in Japan, telescopes are also available in Japan It's quite common, so the shogunate soon knew that Xia Jun's navy had split up. In this way, the war is inevitable

On the 21th day of July of that year, that is, in the early morning of the third day after Xia Fang’s ultimatum expired, the shogunate army led 22 medium-sized ships collected from the people to another [-] large Anzhai ships and more than [-] small morning ships. The large fishing boats are the backbone, heading towards the Xia Fang Fleet moored in central Edo Bay""

According to Xia Fang's prior knowledge, in Japan, a Guan boat can carry about 200 or [-] members including sailors, and a large Anzhai ship can carry nearly [-] people at full load. Therefore, the shogunate dispatched a total of more than [-] troops. This is already the largest military operation in Japan after the Shimabara Battle.

Although the strength of the Japanese army is huge, the watermen on the cao boat are neither soldiers nor regular water troops, not to mention that the shogunate still lacks generals who can coordinate and command. It took a lot of time to get the ships out and gather them together, which exposed the intention of the shogunate army

What's even more sad is that those samurai ronin who didn't have much experience in boating were seasick and vomited during the two or three hours of bumping and shaking.

Even so, the shogunate army Huanxia carried out the gang-jumping operation and overwhelmed Xia Fang with its manpower advantage, but how could this be possible?

At the end of the day, seeing that the Japanese army had finally assembled, the Xia Army Navy finally made a move. Six military transport ships, under the escort of two third-class cruise ships, slowly retreated towards the Uraga Waterway and observed Xia Army's movements. The morale of the Japanese army was greatly boosted, amidst the hysterical cheers, all the ships accelerated one after another, only to disrupt their own formation

Of course, the speed of the shogunate's leading ships was relatively fast. Within half an hour, not only did they leave the chaotic team early, but they also pulled the rest of their ships down a considerable distance.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the Xia Army fleet, the samurai ronin with weak feet on the Guan ship tried their best to pull out their swords and guns one by one, and some of them even fired out the old iron cannons.

At this time, the remaining fleet of the Xia Army began to slowly adjust its formation, with the flagship and another cruiser as the center, two first-class cruise ships and four third-class cruise ships lined up, and four notification ships at both ends Roaming, to screen the unarmed bows and sterns of capital battleships

Visually, when the distance between the two sides was about fifty feet away, there was a muffled thunderous roar, and then the whole ship opened fire one by one, shooting out endless light and heat like a volcanic eruption. They fired one after another, and immediately set off a storm on the sea.

The follow-up Japanese army's main team was dumbfounded to observe the soaring water columns on the sea surface and the Guan fleet that creaked and disintegrated amidst the thunder. I couldn't help slowing down, but because the general in command of the battle didn't issue an order, there was no turning around and running away

The sea breeze quickly dispelled the nitrous clouds covering Xia Fang's fleet, and what appeared in front of Gong Tian and the others was an extremely miserable scene. Among the 21 closed ships, eight of them had been broken into two pieces, and one was completely broken. Turn it over, I don't know if it was overturned by the waves caused by the shells

There are still twelve ships, this result does not seem to satisfy Gong Tian, ​​so the bombardment started again, this time, no matter whether it is a famous ronin swordsman or a famous shogunate general, they will no longer be able to escape the scourge of heaven, only the extremely lucky can embrace Struggling to survive on the sea with a few wooden structures

what to do?The leading ship fleet has been cleaned up cleanly by the opponent, now it's my turn to face the enemy's terrifying big tube, how should I deal with it?Before the terrified shogunate could figure it out, the Huaxia Navy had already set sail, and eight of the smaller third-class cruise ships and notification ships rushed up at an outrageously fast speed. Four large and astonishing warships also approached at a speed far exceeding that of the Guan Ship

"Go up!" There are still some brave ronin urging the sailors who are driving the boat, but unexpectedly, the Huaxia Navy who rushed up from both sides did not go straight to the Japanese fleet, but left and right. Going right to the back of the Japanese army, "This is? Bastard, Xia Kou wants to surround and annihilate us." A warrior ronin who knows the art of war shouted, "Come up, we will have a way out, Zheng Zhi, I am Zheng Kezang!"

However, the Ataka ships that the shogunate hastily collected turned out to be offshore cargo ships for transportation. Although they had a large load, their maneuverability was poor. In addition, some U-turns and some rushed forward, so the formation was confused again, and there was even a single Anzai ship. During the U-turn, the boat accidentally overturned the small boat next to it, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

At this time, the outflanking Huaxia Navy once again showed its fangs, and the sound of cannons one after another announced the prelude to the complete destruction of the water power of the shogunate army. Although it is impossible to accurately destroy an enemy ship with every shot, the shogunate
