Chapter 790: Hit a fool

By the time Kayama Kumori arrived at the battlefield in the Miyako Sea, the battle was over.

Kayama Hisamori was taken aback, and couldn't understand how the more than forty warships of the Satsuma fleet were defeated so quickly?

Is this Tadaro Shimazu a pig? How is it directed?

Biryama Kumori used a monocular to observe the situation in the nearby seas, and saw the warships of the Ming Navy floating on the sea surface from a distance.

He didn't say a word, and directly ordered a surprise attack to catch them off guard!

The goal of Kayama Kumori this time is to destroy the Ming naval fleet, annihilate all the living forces sent to the Ryukyus by the Ming Kingdom, take control of the sea power, and make the Ryukyus the second naval base of the Satsuma Domain!

In this way, the Satsuma clan has the ability to compete with the shogunate!

The Japanese Navy marched forward in a straight column, which was the line tactic of the Ming Royal Navy.

Birch Mountain Jiushou did have a few brushes, and he carefully studied the naval battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Zheng family sailors in Dongao, and saw some doorways.

Shen Shouchong, chief officer of the Ming Royal Navy, stood on the deck, watching the Japanese warships put on a familiar array, and a smile appeared on his face: "It's a little interesting." ”

"Order, the fleet enters the first level of combat readiness, and the crews immediately enter the combat position, the artillery is loaded, and they are ready to meet the enemy at any time!" Shen Shouchong's tone was very serious and unquestionable.

The flag bearer gave the order with a small flag, and the whole fleet immediately went into action, and some of the crew members were still chatting lazily or taking a nap in the corner, as if they were fighting at this moment.

Crates of ammunition continued to be carried to the deck, and the gunners cleared the chambers, loaded the ammunition, and installed the fuses in one go.

The observer looked around intently on the mast to catch all the movements of the Japanese fleet on the sea.

Zanhua said, "My lord, order the fleet to adjust its formation!" ”

"Don't worry, wait for them to come up, you can't scare them away!"

Shen Shouchong took a sip of tea, stared at the Japanese fleet that was getting closer and closer on the sea, and suddenly ordered: "Order the Yunxiao, Zhangpu, and Zhao'an to break away from the fleet and detour from the left flank, and the Shishi, Dehua, and Yong'an to break away from the fleet and detour from the right side to intercept their retreat!" ”

Only then did the chief of the painting understand that the chief soldier was going to make dumplings and destroy people.

With Japan's ships and artillery, dare to sneak attack?

After receiving the order, the ships suddenly became murderous, like a devouring dragon sailing on the sea.

When the two sides were two miles apart, Kayama Hisamori did not give the order to open fire, because it was out of reach.

When the distance was one mile, the Japanese warships opened fire, and all kinds of shells greeted the Ming warships.

Only then did Shen Shouchong order: "The fleet is spread out into a horizontal formation!" ”

Under the fire of the Japanese warships, the Ming naval fleet slowly dispersed, the hull of the ship also turned sideways, and the black holes of the guns stretched out from the deck.

"A salvo, put!"

A roar that resounded across the universe erupted, and all the battleships retreated some distance, and the roar of hundreds of guns could be imagined.

The huge tremor made the entire sea level not calm, and one after another ran bombs fell on the warships of the Japanese Navy, and the warships at the forefront of the fleet were riddled with holes in an instant.

Fortunately, this was only a test launch, otherwise the ships would have been reduced to pieces of wood and floated on the sea under heavy shelling.

Hisamori Kayama was taken aback, what kind of battleship is this? What kind of cannon is this? It's so terrifying!

Not to mention that the number of their own navy is comparable, even if it is doubled, it will not be their opponent.

If it weren't for the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty flying on the opposite mast, Kayama Kumori would have thought that he had encountered the Dutch Navy.

I used to study the naval battle of Dongao by myself, and the Ming Navy was still a lucky ship, why did it only take ten years, and the whole thing has changed?

On the sea, when you see the warships on the opposite side from a distance, they are all the same, and the size difference between the warships of the Ming army is not large, and it is difficult to see the size of the warships from a distance without a reference.

This is also the reason why Shimazu Tadaro ran to the Kongo before, and he looked confused.

Birch Mountain Jiushou felt that he had been fooled, and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!" Retreat to Shuri! ”

When the bow of the Japanese Navy turned around and wanted to flee away, two few fleets appeared from behind them, and it was the six warships of the Ming fleet that shared the task of encirclement.

The Japanese Navy was sandwiched in the middle by a triangular formation, and the situation was somewhat awkward.

The Ming battleship did not drag mud and water, and all the battleships opened fire without hesitation, and one by one the shells accurately smashed on the warship of the Japanese Navy, making the genius general Kayama Hisamori stupid.

In the past, in the face of his old father's strategy test, Hisamori Kayama could always come up with some strange ideas and win by surprise.

Now that he is really in battle, in the face of a crisis, the only way he can think of is the most common and ordinary tactic, thirty-six strategies for the upper plan, run!

"Break out!"

Birch Hill Kumori just wants to break through and go back to read the military book for a few more years and come back for revenge.

Under the continuous shell attack, the fleet under the command of Kayama Hisamori fled rapidly, and the warships caught fire, decomposed, and sank one after another.

Only the flagship of Kayama Hisamori was not affected in the slightest, and he was on a tortoiseshell ship, an ironclad warship like a tortoise shell.

The tortoiseshell ship is the earliest ironclad ship, which was made by the craftsmen and soldiers led by the Korean general Yi Sunsin during the Korean War in Wanli to resist the invasion of Toyotomi Hideyoshi of Japan.

The tortoiseshell boat is not slow, can be propelled by both oars and sails, and its rather limited armor makes it relatively light.

Yi Sun-sin's original purpose in designing the tortoiseshell ship was to be both fast and light, so as to achieve the purpose of ramming the enemy ship.

After half a century, Japan has undergone many improvements, and the tortoiseshell ships equipped by the navy are no longer the same, and even iron armor is equipped in some important parts.

This was given by Kayama Hisamori's father after he defeated the Ryukyus, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, the general of the expedition.

Now, Kayama Kumori relies on him to run away.

The tortoiseshell boat can carry and run, and it was hit by several shells of the Ming Navy battleship, so it was not a big problem.

Birshan's running movements were like textbooks, and he avoided the artillery fire of the Ming Navy in various ways in a snakeskin posture, and finally let him run.

After chasing for more than ten miles, the Ming Navy sank several Japanese navies that had escaped, and the rest of the warships that were caught up also surrendered one after another, and were escorted by the warships of the Ming army.

In the Battle of Miyakojima, the navy of the Satsuma Domain was basically abolished, because the Japanese navy was mostly composed of the navy of the Satsuma Domain, which meant that the Japanese navy was basically scrapped.

Shen Shouchong ordered several warships to be sent to escort the captured Japanese soldiers back to Taiwan to be detained for labor reform.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Ming Royal Navy continued its voyage and landed twelve miles north of Shuri, the former capital of the Ryukyus.

This is one of the narrowest points on the Ryukyu Island, only about seven kilometers wide from east to west, and the fleet only needs to blockade the sea area from east to west, and Shuri Castle will become a turtle in an urn, and the Japanese army inside will either fight to the death or surrender.
