Wow... Wow... The wind rose, and the sea that was still calm just now began to rise and fall, as if as soon as it was past noon, the wind changed direction, the north wind!

At this time, in the area of the Naruto Strait, a major battle was brewing, and the Tsugawa Navy held the Naruto Strait against the Hosokawa Navy, and the number of warships on the two sides was almost the same.

Among them, the Tsugawa Navy had 10 Nanban warships, 60 artillery pieces, 30 Guanship, and 200 Kohaya ships. The Hosokawa Navy had seven ironclad ships, 56 artillery pieces, two Ataka ships, 25 Seki ships, and 180 Kozawa ships.

This is the decisive battle sea area set by Murakami Motoyoshi, and those who came from the northeast to participate in the war were half of the Gyeonggi naval forces who stayed at home, led by Murakami Keikin, Murakami Tokiyoshi, and Murakami Ryoyasu, all of whom were originally in the Seto Inland Sea, and the Murakami naval forces of Nojima, Kurijima, and Ininjima were originally in the Seto Inland Sea, and Japan'Mohona Sasuke still needed to be stationed in the Tango Sea area to prevent foreign enemies from invading from the sea from the north.

"Lord Motoyama! Lord Jinping sent back the news, everything is normal there, no enemy troops have been found, and the road back is worry-free, please rest assured! On the eve of the decisive battle, Tadanobu Motoyama reconfirmed his family's back road, and there was still nothing abnormal.

"Very well, it seems that the enemy does not have the strength to completely encircle us, and can only use the form of semi-encirclement to contain the mobility of our army. Hmph, it's a pity, the Nanban ship not only has extremely strong mobility, but also has the same attack power! And... Our army has an advantageous position in terms of strength and artillery fire! Motoyama Tadanobu narrowed his eyes and made up his mind, and came to the bow of the ship to look at the approaching Hosokawa naval army.

"Prepare for battle!" At the command of Tadanobu Motoyama, the whole army turned the bow of the ship and faced the Hosokawa naval army, and his ten Nanban warships were guarded in it, ready to fight or evacuate at any time.

"Murakami-sama! Our army is in place! Please instruct! ”

"Order, the Murakami Army is on standby, the First Army, advance!" Murakami Motoyoshi looked at the Nanban warships that were protected layer by layer, and only by breaking through the enemy ships in front of him first, his target was also the enemy's large warship.

"Stand by the spot..."The standard-bearer began to wave the flag to the Murakami Navy in the distance.

"First Army! Advance! The herald shouted loudly, and the horn of the attack sounded.

"Forward!" Toju Tongxing received an order, and the sailors who led his team began to break away from their own formation.

"Oh!" The sailors of the First Army shouted loudly, rowing straight towards the enemy position.

"Bow and arrow ready!" The sailors in front of Tsugawa bent their bows and arrows one after another, and got ready.

"Iron cannon ready!" The Hosokawa navy was good at using iron cannons and concentrated them all in the bow of the ship.

"Fire!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

Whoosh... Bang bang bang ... Arrows and lead bullets met in the air, and then galloped past, whistling across the sea, shooting at the opposing ships.

Wow... The arrows pierced the planks and decks, popping twice, and also hit several Hosokawa sailors who couldn't dodge.

Cracking sound... Buckshot smashed like beans on the planks and decks. "Ugh! Yes! "There were also several Tsukawa sailors who were shot and fell to the ground.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Fire!"

Whoosh... Bang bang bang ... The two sides are constantly striking from a distance, killing and wounding as many enemy troops as possible.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! "The boatmen in the cabin of the First Army rocked desperately to make the ship move faster.

"Goal! Enemy ships! Strike! Toju shouted frantically, a lose-lose style.

"Uhhhhh Do! What do they want to do? A Tsugawa sailor looked in horror at the approaching enemy ship and crashed headlong into his own ship.

duang！ "Uhh The huge impact force immediately lifted many people away and fell into the sea.

"Board the ship and fight with the white knuckle!" Toju jumped directly onto the enemy ship and slashed an enemy to death with a swing of his sword.

"Oh!" Hosokawa naval troops boarded the enemy ships one after another, and as soon as they came up, they fought with white knives, and there was no kind of shooting like the previous naval battles, in fact, they did not let the Nanban warships be useful.

"Damn! The enemy is cunning! Motoyama Tadanobu slapped his hand on the ship's pole fiercely, and the front army was completely mixed up, and his side did not dare to fire at all.

"Command! Flank the enemy ship! The Nanban warships will attack this ambush army with me! "Since this is already the case, simply use superior forces to eat this Hosokawa army first, and their ironclad ships will definitely not dare to open fire rashly.

Woo... Woo... The horn sounded, the Tsugawa naval army launched a counterattack, the two-wing ships began to support the front army, and the Nanban warships sailed to the north in a fish-scale formation. The Fish Scale Formation is a formation that breaks through the enemy's central formation, and when this formation attacks, it spreads left and right, and attacks from three directions at the same time.

"The enemy army is moving! The flanks move towards the front army! The Nanban warship moves north! ”

"Command! Murakami unleashed the arson boat! The First Army is out of battle! Ironclad ship forward! Defeat them! Murakami Motoyoshi ordered calmly.

"Ironclad ship! Advance! ”

Woo... Woo... Seven ironclad ships lined up in battle lines and headed for the front.

"Quick! Ignition! Unleash the arsonist boat! Murakami Keijin gave an order, and at once set fire to more than 30 small boats covered with weeds.

Taking advantage of the north wind, these arsonist ships went down the river and swooped down the river towards the approaching Nanban warships.

"Huh? Fast! Fast! Collect the sails! Turn right rudder! Prepare the artillery! "Motoyama Tadanobu was so shocked that his eyes were protruding, and the enemy actually used arson boats. But what he didn't notice was that behind the thirty or so fireboats, there were several straw boats that were not on fire, and there were people on them who commanded the rocking, which was obviously directional.

The Clark was a standard wooden sail warship with no fire extinguishing system at all, and it was also the first fully documented sail-ready ship of the Age of Sail.

"Artillery ready to fire!" The deck immediately became busy, and the Western cannons were loaded, and the muzzles of the guns protruded from the ship's bar.

Whew... Whew... Immediately, a special boatman began to run to the front and rear schooners, because they were headwind, so the sails had been closed.

Standing in the middle was a samurai, who was the sail bearer who commanded the sails, and he could only be heard shouting, "Put away the sails!" Put away the shangboon! ”

"Hey! Hey! The boatmen quickly drew their sails, and the ship lost power, but began to roll sideways under the power of the rudder.

"The ship is in place!" The warship exposed its port side facing the arsonist ship.

"Artillery in position!" A platoon of three guns is ready.

"Goal! Enemy arson ships! Fire! Benshan Tadanobu gave the order without hesitation, and his scalp was numb when he saw the burning straw boats.

An arsonist ship is a self-destructing weapon that is fought by spontaneously igniting in the vicinity of an enemy ship, thereby setting it on fire. Nowadays, there are two main types, one is a straw boat and the other is a powder boat.

Under normal circumstances, arson ships need to be driven by death squads to hook the enemy ship with a grappling hook, and only ignite the ignition on the ship at the last moment. However, an arson ship like the Hosokawa Army, which had already been ignited, was completely uncontrollable, and could only play the role of disrupting the array. If you want to burn enemy ships, you can only use such complex steps.

Therefore, the burning arson ships of the Hosokawa family are just cannon fodder to attract artillery fire, and the real killer weapon is the arson boats that are hidden behind and are manned, which are full of gunpowder and ignition materials. This kind of arsonist ship is completely unable to withstand the shelling of the warship, and can only engage the enemy from the blind spot of the artillery in the melee, or give the final blow at a timed time in the overall situation of the artillery battle.
