Chapter 452: The Battle of Sado (2)
The sailors on the deck were busy going back and forth, clearing the chambers and carrying the ammunition.
"Reload!" Each emplacement is commanded by a squad leader.
Bang Dang! The sailors fed lead bullets from the muzzle into the chamber, and then compacted the shells and gunpowder with a rifling rod.
"Number one is in place!"
"Number three is in place!"
"Number Four is in place!"
"Gunpowder No. 2 is wet! Re-disemboweling! Each squad leader roared loudly and reported the situation of his own gun position.
"Port ready!" A lower-ranking Hosokawa samurai stood in the middle of the four gun emplacements, centering to direct the guns on the port side.
"No. 2 abandons the cannon! One, three, four! Fire! ”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Three shells flew towards the Nanban ship in turn.
Wow! Wow! Wow! All three shells fell into the water.
"The enemy ship has changed its ship! Out of the range of our army! "The lookout is responsible for observing the surrounding battle situation, focusing on the direction of the Nanban ship.
"Starboard ready! Fire! "There was also an order to fire a gun from the starboard side.
Boom! Click! Four shells whizzed towards the enemy's sailors.
"Sink two small ships! Hit a ship! One miss! "The lookout kept reporting the situation, and the gun emplacements on the deck began to clear the chambers and replace them with new shells.
"Shoot!" The naval iron cannon was not idle, divided into three rows, and stepped forward in turn, firing non-stop at the enemy below.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! Poof! People kept being shot and planted in the sea, flooding with pools of blood.
"Quick! Embark on board the ship for a hand-to-head battle! They won't dare to shoot again! "Shiro Iwafune led the Tsugaru Naval Army, jumped onto the enemy ship, and got into a melee with the Tango Naval Army, causing great difficulty for Hosokawa's iron cannon firing.
"Damn! Kill! Drive them into the sea and feed the fish! "Hi' Sasuke Wielded a knife and slashed one enemy to death, followed by another kick that threw another enemy into the sea.
"Artillery is coming!" The lookout shouted frantically at the top of his voice.
Click! "Uhh Two shells landed on an ironclad ship and a sequester, smashing a large hole when they landed. Although the ironclad ship has a layer of three-millimeter iron plates, it can only be fireproof, anti-arrow, and anti-iron cannon baking, but it can't stop Western cannons of the same level.
"Damn! It's out of range again! "Nine Ghost Yuanlong understood this tactic, the Nanban ship took advantage of the wind speed and the advantage of flexible mobility, and left with one blow.
"Lord Nine Ghosts, it's not okay to go on like this, this plus and one subtraction, sooner or later it will be sunk after a long time! Since falling out with the Southern Barbarian merchants, there are only these Western cannons in our family! Takashi Toriya also saw the seriousness of the situation, the ship could be rebuilt if it sank, but if the Western cannon is gone, it will really be gone, after all, there is no such technology in China.
"But... But... Noto is still on the island, and Miyata-sama and Sasa-sama haven't evacuated! "The Nine Ghosts Yuanlong was a little annoyed, he originally thought that it would be a war of annihilation, but he didn't want to fight in this situation, so he didn't prepare to evacuate at all. Now that the battlefield has been mixed up, there is no way to deal with the army.
"My lord! I can't hesitate any longer! Let Zozo-sama turn to guerrilla warfare and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from my family! As a military commissioner, Takayo Toriya had to advise to abandon the pawn and protect the car.
"Damn! Good! Wave the flag to the shore! Tell them to quickly evacuate the shore! Enter the mountains for guerrilla warfare! Hold on to help! "Nine Ghost Yuanlong also made a quick decision, and now the preservation of the ironclad ship is the most important thing.
"Yes!" One of his men took the order, quickly ascended to the top of the ship's building, and began to wave the flag towards the shore.
The personnel on the shore received the order and soon began to move.
"Check your respective weapons! Ready to go into the mountains to fight guerrillas! Remember! Weapons are your life! Don't drop your weapons during the retreat! Otherwise, it will be done according to military law! "Sasa Chengzheng will be able to assemble on board, and this will be the main force of combat in the future.
"Hurry! Bring everything you can eat! Fast! Miyata Mitsuji shouted loudly, leading the newly recruited five hundred ashigaru and began to prepare for the evacuation of supplies. These are all locals, who have been in the army for a short time and are not yet able to fight fiercely, and now can only serve as auxiliaries.
"My lord! Lord Nine Ghosts, they're ready to evacuate! Let's get out of the entanglement with the enemy as soon as possible! Evacuate together! "The Tango Navy also received an order to evacuate.
"Good! Pass the order! The moving boat comes with me! Fall back! "Hi' Sasuke Wipes the blood from his face, and after a fierce battle, all the enemies on his ship are driven back.
"Retreat! Fall back! Yasuyuki Matsui led the ship away and began to evacuate with the army.
"Kill! Drive them down! Kick them down! "But more ships simply could not afford to escape, there were too many enemies.
"Chase! Don't let them run! "Tadanobu Motoyama led the Nanban ships in hot pursuit, and with the advantage of fast speed, he always chased the back of the Hosokawa Navy's buttocks.
Boom! Boom! Occasionally, the chase was closer, and a graceful arc, revealing the gun emplacements on the side side, came with a few rounds. At this time, sailing ships rarely had bow guns, after all, the Clark sailing ship was originally a merchant ship, and there was no room for a forward gun.
Boom! Click! Unfortunately, because the ironclad ship was too slow and was always at the back of the line, a cannonball broke the only mast of an ironclad ship.
"Quick! Swing! Swing! "This ironclad ship has to be rowed entirely by manpower, and the speed is even slower, so it is easy to be surrounded and captured by enemy ships.
"Turn! Go back! Matsui Yasuyuki immediately led half of the navy back to rescue the fallen ironclad ship.
The wounded ironclad ship was quickly protected in it, and it slowly returned to the sea.
"Fire!" The Nanban ship was another round of shelling, like a long snake, meandering in pursuit.
"Protect the ironclad ship! Protect the ironclad ship with a boat! "Matsui Yasuyuki took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the temple army, and commanded large and small ships to block the pursuit route of the Nanban ships.
"Hahaha! Delivered to your door! Bite them! Don't let them run anymore! "Shiro Iwafune led the Tsugaru Navy and rushed directly to the broken Tango Navy.
Soon, the severed Tango naval army was surrounded by enemies several times its size, and there was no longer a chance to escape.
"Brethren! It's death! Nor can they be cheapened! Die with them! With the lit roast in his arms, Yasuyuki Matsui jumped directly onto the enemy ship next to him.
"Ahh Ahh Crazy! When the surrounding enemies saw the smoking roast in Matsui's hand, they were so frightened that they hid far away, for fear of being harmed themselves.
"Ah!!h Yasuyuki Matsui ignored the little soldiers and rushed straight into the bilge.
Boom! A thunderous explosion, accompanied by billowing smoke, poured out of the cabin.
Click! The whole ship made a mournful noise, and the keel cracked overwhelmed, and gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.
"Uhhhhh Let's all die together! "More and more Tango sailors turned into this suicide bomb, and suddenly brilliant sparks exploded on the sea... Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
