Wow... Wow... The wind rose on the surface of the sea, and the waves rippled with gusts of wind, and scattered in all directions under the light of the sun that had just risen.

This is the military port of Akamari Port on the south coast of Sado Island, which is adjacent to the Sado Strait, and Miyata Mitsuji built a simple fortress next to it: Genko Castle, where both land and sea armies gathered, which was a military defense line. Fifteen kilometers southwest along the coastline is the commercial port of Kogi, which will be repatriated from the gold mined in the future.

The construction of Motoko Castle is still busy, and Miyata Mitsuji has successively relocated the townspeople on the north coast, after all, manpower is required for farming, construction, and development of mines.

There are large and small warships docked in the harbor, and the most striking ones are the three huge warships: ironclad ships, and there are many small morning ships cruising in the Sado Strait, and those are all peripheral guard ships.

"Huh? Look! What is that? "Suddenly, a crew member who was on guard on the small morning boat noticed an anomaly.

I saw that at the place of sunrise in the east, a black line appeared.

"Yes..."The companions next to him shielded their hands from the harsh sunlight, trying to see what it was.

"Oh my God! So fast! In a few moments, the black line was speeding towards them under the cover of the dazzling sunlight.

"It's a boat! It's an enemy ship! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Hurry up and warn the military port with a flag slogan! Yasuyuki Matsui, the general of the navy, shouted loudly, and there were really a lot of ships on the opposite side.

Whining... Whining... The sound of the conch in Yuanguang Castle was loud, and the ashigaru began to assemble under the leadership of their respective samurai, and the sailors also quickly boarded the ship and sailed out of the port, ready for battle.

"What kind of ship is this in front of the head!" Hi' Sasuke Motona looked in amazement, he was seeing it for the first time.

"This is a Nanban ship!" Nine Ghost Yuanlong used a monocular to see clearly, the enemy took the lead of these five warships, its huge bow and stern, forming a U-shaped hull, the power of the ship using a mixture of crosssail and spinnaker three-masted galleon. The ship was equipped with six Western cannons, three on each side, two fewer than the ironclad ship, but its size was about the same as that of the ironclad ship, and it was also a three-story deck, and if you added the huge bow mast in the bow, the length was longer than that of the ironclad ship.

It was a standard Portuguese carrack, now known as the Nanban ship, which was a long-distance trading ship used for both business and war.

"They're coming! So fast! The Tango Navy looked at the enemy ship in amazement, and the sails were blown out by the wind.

A graceful arc passed by the vigilant little morning boat.

Boom! Boom! This is the familiar voice of the Hosokawa naval army: Western cannons!

Click! "Uhh Tango Kozawa was hit hard by a huge buckshot, and several small boats were torn apart in an instant!

"Damn! Catch up! Catch up! And they are booming! Nine Ghost Yuanlong hurriedly commanded three ironclad ships to chase after them, preparing the battleships to bombard.

"My lord! The power of our military aircraft is inferior to that of enemy ships! Can't catch up! "After chasing for a while, they all sailed into the Japanese 'Benhai, looked at the enemy ships chasing farther and farther away, and reported loudly.

"Damn!" Nine Ghost Yuanlong slammed his fist the boat gang.

It is impossible for a single-sailed ironclad ship to catch up with a three-sail Clark sailboat, a bulky cargo that sacrifices most of its speed and performance, and has no long-distance sailing ability, in exchange for superior defense. Whether in the history of ship development or from a military point of view, in fact, it is a dead branch with no future, and it can even be said to be a kind of regression.

But this is Hosokawa Nobumoto's intention, this kind of ironclad ship is enough to dominate the inland sea, he doesn't want the Japanese to have the ability to sail, and now the trade with the Ming Dynasty is all Ming merchant ships to trade, and the Japanese have long abolished their own survey trade ships. But a Portuguese galleon suddenly appeared in front of him, and it must have been purchased by the Tsugaru family from a Portuguese merchant.

Nowadays, the rapid development of Daming Naval Airlines, the expansion of the colonies in Southeast Asia, almost cleared Portugal out of the Southeast Asian market, the remaining Luzon Island (Philippines) is still in the hands of Portugal, but it is already in danger.

The most profitable goods of Portugal in Asia were Luzon spices, Ming ceramics, and Japanese gold and silver. And since Hosokawa Nobumoto had his own self-developed cannonballs, he got rid of Portugal and supplied the most profitable Japanese gold and silver to Daming.

Naturally, Portugal would not give up, cut off the supply of Western artillery, and began to look for new partners, and soon found the Okuhatsu Karega, which was rich in gold and silver, and reached a strategic partnership. It was intended that the Tsugaru family would replace the Hosokawa family, complete the unification of Japan, and monopolize the entire gold and silver market.

"Kill!" Sasuke Motona shouted frantically, he had entered the white-knuckle battle here, and his ironclad ship was surrounded by enemy ships four times his size after being led away by enemy galleons.

"Drink!" Yasuchi Matsui slashed an enemy to death, then leaped backwards, dodging the incoming slash, and looked around to see that there were still enemies boarding his ship.

Boom! Click! The artillery rang out, and it was the ironclad ships that rushed back to reinforce it.

"Fire! Shoot! Hit me hard! Nine Ghost Yuanlong shouted loudly with red eyes, in the time he left, his own Dango Navy was completely pressed and beaten, and several warships were sunk.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! The iron cannons on the ironclad ships fired in unison, along with the heavy artillery, and fired at the enemy.

Poof! "Uhh Many of the enemy were shot several times and fell into the sea with a wail, and streams of blood bubbled up.

"Artillery is coming!" The lookout on the ironclad ship suddenly shouted frantically.

Boom! Boom! Click! "Ahh "Ugh!"

Nine Ghost Yuanlong only felt the hull tremble violently, and a lead bullet hit the deck of the second floor, and suddenly sawdust splashed, and a high-pitched scream came from the cabin.

"Fight back! Fight back! A Hosokawa samurai shouted in horror that this was the first time an ironclad ship had been breached in its defenses.

Boom! Boom! The ironclad ship was shelling in an orderly manner, but suddenly it began to be chaotic, and the entire hull began to shake sharply.

"Orderly fire! Orderly fire! Give me a roundshot! Otherwise, the ship will sink! "Nine Ghost Yuanlong clung to the boat gang tightly and did not throw himself into the sea.

Unlike ordinary warships, a warship equipped with Western cannons requires a lot of skillful articulation to be equipped with multiple cannons, and the command to fire a salvo from a single port requires the men of each gun position to fire sequentially at an appropriate pace.

If two or three doors are fired at the same time, or if the rhythm is not right, and the ship continues to fire while it is still in place, the strong recoil will increase the tilt of the ship, and eventually cause it to lose its balance until it capsizes. Therefore, the more cannons on board, the more troublesome it is, restoring the gun position, cleaning the chamber, loading ammunition, igniting and firing, everything must be done step by step, and the slightest carelessness may cause the cannon to be destroyed and killed.

"Hey, hey... Keep firing! Sink them! "Motoyama Tadanobu showed his murderous fangs, he was the general of the Tsugaru family's navy, and led the Nanban ship to chase back. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
