Chapter 373: Iron Armor

"Quick! Fast! Fortify this place! Here, here, arrange the defense! "In Haibe Castle, Nagazong's army is stepping up the deployment of city defenses and preparing for a big battle with the Hosokawa army below.

Even the Yuan Qin of Changzong and my department put on armor and personally organized the army in the city, looking at his 8,000 army, he was confident that he would keep the Hosokawa army out.

"Newspaper... Lord! Hosokawa warship spotted on the sea! Master Chi has already led the naval army to meet it! A samurai hurried over.

"Got it, everyone, hurry up! I'm afraid the Hosokawa army will arrive soon! Hold on to the city! Fight them off! Yuan Qin shouted loudly to boost morale.

"Oh!" Changzong's army is in high spirits, they have just experienced a great victory, and it is the time when their morale is greatly boosted.

Boom! Boom! Knock knock! Suddenly, there was a deafening explosion, like rolling thunder from the sky.

Everyone followed the sound and saw that the battle on the sea had begun.

"Fire!"

"Fire!" The two ironclad ships roared with thunder cannons, and several huge cannonballs flew towards the Chi family's naval army, and their range far exceeded that of the other party.

Boom! Click! "Uhh Sawdust splashes, people fly! One shot hit a closed ship, directly broke the mainmast, smashed the deck, and passed through the side wall, and the huge opening was pouring water into it.

"It's... This..."Chi Laihe, the general of the navy, looked at this cannon blankly, and directly scrapped a closed ship!

"Ahh Boom! Whoa! Another high octave sounded came, and this time it hit a small morning boat, and it was directly smashed!

Knock knock! Boom! The bad news has just begun, the roar continues, and the stumps and broken arms are flying all over the sky with sawdust knives and guns!

"Rush! Rush over! Fast! Ji Laihe was frantically pulling his throat, their bows and arrows couldn't reach each other at all.

"Oh!" Wow... Wow... The Chi family's sailors are better than many boats, although there are constantly ships around that have been shot and sunk, but they have narrowed the distance between each other.

"Archery! Shoot arrows! Fast! Chi Lai roared hoarsely, looking at the distance not close, rushing over and losing a dozen warships, his heart dripping blood again.

Whoosh! The arrows were fired in unison, and Tosa was poor, so they naturally couldn't afford to use expensive iron cannons.

Jingle Bell! The arrow struck the hull of the ship, and was bounced off by the thick iron armor, leaving not even a trace behind.

"Hmph... It's our turn, shoot! The corners of the Nine Ghost Yuanlong's mouth turned up slightly, and he stood on the highest point of the ship, looking at the people below with contempt, just like a mouse.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The iron cannons fired in unison, and the heavy firepower of all the Hosokawa naval forces was condescending from the ship's tower, firing wildly.

Puff puff! Bang bang bang! "Ugh!" "Ahh The Chi family's naval army suffered a catastrophe when they landed, and the bullets were dense like rain, and countless people were shot.

"Damn! Archery! Shoot the enemy's iron gunners to death! Chi Laihe's eyelids were beating wildly, and his heart was also moving violently, he had never seen a naval battle with less fighting and more and a one-sided posture, but the other party only had two ships!

The Chi family's water army braved the rain of bullets and arrows to fight back, but... The ship was too high, and they were shooting from their backs, and the position was extremely unfavorable, and they had no lethality at all.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Hosokawa naval forces fired alternately at each other, and the three-stage strike method was also used, and the firing was uninterrupted, forming a complete suppression of firepower.

Poof! Poof! Gollum! The casualties of the Chi family's navy army skyrocketed, countless people fell into the water, and the blue sea was stained red with blood.

"Fire Bolt! Fire Bolt! Attack it! White-knuckle combat! Above! Above! Here you can only wait for death! ”

Whoosh, the sparse fire bolts shot at the ironclad ship, but they were still reflected by the ironclad, and the fire attack failed. As for white-knuckle battles... The boat on the opposite side is too high, and the footboard can't be caught on it! How can this be fought? A breath of despair began to spread.

"Hahaha! Beat! Hit hard! Hosokawa Shinyuki shouted excitedly, it's been a long time since I've been so happy, this is simply torture.

Knock knock! Bang bang bang! As if to echo Hosokawa Shinyuki, the firepower of the Hosokawa Navy was still unabated, shooting from a distance and at close range, and the ships of the Chi family's Navy were like broken straw mats, and they were beaten to pieces and full of holes.

"It's... This... Damn! A Chi family soldier wailed, turned his head and ran... But how can there be an escape from this sea? In the end, he chose to jump into the sea.

"Roasting!" Hosokawa sailors once again offered a killer weapon, and the ignited roast burned in a perfect arc in the air, and landed right at the feet of Chi Yoriwa.

Boom! Flash of fire! Chi Laihe blew up on the spot and fell into the sea with a thud. His ship was also doomed, and the flames were scattered, and the wind fueled the fire, and suddenly the whole sea was stretched.

"Onward! Crush them! Nine Ghost Yuanlong shouted, the ironclad ship started, and with the advantage of not being afraid of fire, all the boats on the way forward were smashed!

"My... The water army..."Changzong and my relatives looked at the sea blankly, the fire was red, and none of our own sailors were spared.

Changzong's army also had their eyes bulging out, their mouths slightly open, looking at the ironclad ship like a fire god from hell, standing out from this raging sea of fire, and the dark muzzle of the cannon was aimed at Haibe City!

Boom! Boom! Knock knock! The Western cannon was once again powerful, and the cannonballs flew towards Kaibe Castle like a congratulatory gift from hell.

Boom! Click! Boom! Splinters! Umibe Castle was wiped out!

"Damn! Damn it! Counterattack! "Yuan Qin was blinded by this series of artillery, and was about to command a counterattack, but suddenly discovered... You can't reach the enemy at all, and it's a situation where you're being beaten passively.

Boom! Boom! The cannon continued, and the guards in the city cried for their father and mother, and fled in a hurry.

"My lord! Lord! Let's go! It's a live target here! Kira ran over, covered in blood, with a intestine hanging from his shoulder, and I don't know whose it was.

"Damn! How could there be such a terrible warship! Hey? Where are they going? "As he was cursing, he suddenly discovered that Hosokawa's troop carrier, under the cover of the ironclad ship, was heading south along the coast.

"Difficult... Could it be that they want—" The two looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.

*************

Cape Muroto, a protruding mountain headland off the southern coast of Shikoku Island, is located at the eastern end of Tosa Bay. Outside of typhoon season, Cape Muroto is often visited by 15-meter-long sperm whales, making it a great spot for whaling and viewing in the future.

If you bypass it, you will be able to enter the Tosa Bay, an inland sea in the southern part of Shikoku Island, and because of the mountainous belly, Tosa Province's large and small castles are close to the sea.

At this time, the Hosokawa naval army had just passed through Cape Muroto and was preparing to go straight to the Ikeke family's naval base: the rock of the ten cities. And Gangfeng City, the home city of Changzong's family, is only thirty miles away. In addition, the water level of the Kunibun River in front of the gate of Okayotoyo Castle is deep enough to pass through the boat, and you only need to take the Urado Bay, which is not far west of the Rock of Ten Cities, to go straight to the river.

Smash the Dragon's Lair! It's Honda's tactic!
