"Murakami-sama! Enemy ships rushed over! Quantity! Four! "The lookout is always ready to report on the battlefield.

"Stop the boat!" Murakami Motoyoshi stood at the bow of the boat, silently counting the distance with a telescope.

"Stop the boat!" The leading samurai in the bottom warehouse shouted.

"Hey!" The boatmen grabbed the oars and made them stand in the water, and the speed of the boat gradually stopped. The ironclad boat is also the power of the paddle boat.

"Hmph, let them see how the naval battles of the Age of Sails were fought!" Murakami Motoyoshi looked left and right, and the fleet cooperated very well to maintain the formation of the "battle line".

"Left full rudder! Artillery ready! Murakami Motoyoshi ordered loudly.

"Left full rudder! Artillery ready! "It's not just the ship that delivers orders, but the flag bearer also gives orders to other ships.

"All the port oars stopped! Starboard oars speed up! ”

"Hey! Hey! The boatmen on the starboard side began rowing hard.

"Reload the shells! Preparation! ”

Bang Dang! Bang Dang! The shells were filled from the muzzle and then compacted, protruding the muzzle out of the ship's side.

Wow... Wow... Seven ironclad ships began to shoot horizontally, revealing the muzzles of the black holes on the starboard side.

"Huh? Why? "It's the first time that Tadanobu Motoyama has seen this tactic, isn't this the belly of the warship shining to the enemy? His current naval warfare thinking is still stuck in the old-fashioned tactics such as ramming, broadside warfare, bow and arrow shooting, and even if he now has a sailing warship, it is only an S route forward artillery bombardment, but this hit rate is very poor, after all, the warship is always swaying from side to side.

"Artillery in position!" The four guns on the starboard side were aimed at the Nanban warships that were rushing over, and the seven ironclad ships were twenty-eight guns!

"Fire!" Murakami Motoyoshi waved his hand and pointed at the enemy ship.

"Fire!" "Fire!" The leading samurai also shouted loudly.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A full twenty-eight shells whistled and rushed towards the Nanban warship.

"Artillery is coming! Lie down! Tsugawa looked at the hand and shouted a warning.

Boom! Click! "Ahh The cannonball came straight in from the bow of the ship, and in its path there was a crackling splash of wood chips, flying several people, and at the same time flying a cannon into a devastating artillery line.

"Uhh Benshan Tadanobu was also shocked by this sudden blow, and fell to the ground, his ears roaring.

"Lord Motoyama! Motoyama-sama! A samurai lifted Motoyama to his feet and shouted, "We have suffered a heavy blow!" Order, please! ”

"Please... You... Fast... Under... But listening to the ears of Benshan's faithful, this is how the sound of prolonging the voice is.

"Quick! Expose the port side! Get ready to fire! Benshan Zhongxin shook his head, still ringing in his ears.

"Port ready!" Just after the shelling, many people were injured, everything that had been prepared was interrupted, and the adjustment of the gun positions began again.

"Turn the ship's bow! Expose the port side! The ironclad ship began to turn in an orderly manner.

"Fire!" The Nanban warship was an S-shape, with half of the port side exposed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The artillery fired in unison, one after another.

"Artillery is coming! Take cover! The ironclad lookout saw the flying cannonballs and shouted a warning.

Boom! Wow! Wow! Most of the shells missed, and only a few hit the ship's bar.

"Uhh The ironclad ship that was shot shook and seven or eight ashigaru were injured.

"Artillery in position!" At this time, the ironclad ship completed a 180-degree turn, revealing the port side intact.

"Fire!" The lead samurai roared.

Boom! Boom! Boom! A neat row of cannonballs fanned out and pounced on the Nanban warships that were still rushing over, and the two sides formed a standard T-shape.

"Artillery is coming!" The watchman's voice was hoarse, and his voice was full of horror.

Boom! Boom! Cracking sound! "Wow!" "Ahh Like a blow to the head, the cannonballs hit the deck, the ship's bar, and there were all kinds of debris flying everywhere, and there were many people.

Crunch crunch... The mast made a clicking sound, and with a bang, it broke in half. It can be seen that the damage on both sides is not at the same level at all.

"Uh... Cough... Cough... Dew... Exposed starboard side... Get ready... Prepare for shelling! "Motoyama's forehead was also scratched by the flying sawdust, and he was shocked again just now, and he fell heavily on the deck, and he still has some dizzy tinnitus.

"Fire!" The samurai led by Tsugawa tried his best to shout the order, and he was also bombarded.

Boom! As a result, only one of the three guns fired, and those two were either missing or damaged. The situation was similar for the other three Nanban warships, and as the casualty rate continued to rise, the artillery counterattack was becoming more and more weak.

"Fire!" On the other hand, on the side of the ironclad ship, it turned to the starboard side again, and it was already adjusted at this time.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The power of the artillery is undiminished, and the hit rate is also high, and it is right on the opposite side of the Nanban warship.

Bang Bang Bang! "Oh wow!" The Tsugawa Navy was completely in a situation of being beaten passively, the fighters were seriously damaged, and the frequency of counterattacks became less and less. The sails of the ship were punched with a few holes, and even the bottom compartment had several holes, and the boatmen inside were wailing, and the power of the sailors was getting weaker and weaker.

This is the remarkable effect of the T-word strategy!

In the era of sail warships, the guns of battleships were arranged on the sides of the ship, so a kind of "T-shaped warfare" combat idea should be born. In order to make full use of the broadside shelling, it is common to sail in a line head to tail, which is the origin of the name "linear battleship", that is, the battleship.

However, because the Hosokawa ironclad ship had no sails, Hosokawa Nobumoto improved the battle columns to sail in parallel in a row at the same time, and when encountering the enemy, the steering adjustment was carried out, and the side side was exposed for artillery bombardment, which actually turned the mobile battle into an encounter or a blocking battle, so that the two warships on the battlefield formed a letter T.

Hosokawa ironclad ships are in a T-shaped horizontal line, and because the side side is facing the enemy, the power of artillery fire can be maximized, and this state is called "T-shaped advantage".

In contrast, the Nanban warship on the T-shaped vertical can only be passively beaten, even if it adopts the S-shaped way to advance, its muzzle hit will be very poor, and finally form a "gourd baby to save grandpa" type of sending people to the head state, called "T-shaped unfavorable".

"Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" After another three rounds of shelling, the Nanban warship had been beaten to the ground and had no power to fight back, but none of them sank.

This is because these days are solid bullets, not flowering shells, and a small boat like Kohaya may be able to shoot two shots, but this kind of large ship of the Nanban warship will only explode and burn the ship unless it happens to hit the ammunition bin.

Moreover, the ammunition compartment is basically at the back of the cargo hold, and the cargo compartment is below the waterline, and in naval battles, artillery shells cannot hit there at all.

Even if the other party takes shit luck and hits one or two shots, because of the resistance of the water, it will not be powerful, unless you can directly hit the ammunition compartment of that ship!

That's why Hosokawa sailors would use arsonists, and that kind of gunpowder arsonists, because only this kind of weapon with huge explosive power could blow up the Nanban warship.
