Just as the five warships of the Satsuma Domain were taken aback, the five guns on the side of the Exocet Clipper opened fire in turn, firing the first salvo.

The distance of two miles was still on the bumpy sea, and the artillery did not have any accuracy at all. The first salvo did not hit a single shot, but only stirred up columns of water near the Japanese ships.

Takeuchi Xiaoxiong on the Japanese ship was frightened into a cold sweat, and it was much to his surprise that Akito opened fire so far away.

He had only three large cylinders installed on his ship, and the caliber was only about the same as that of a large firecracker. The projectile fired was not even a pound, and the range was only 200 steps.

The Ming people fired the cannon so far away, and they also shot such a high column of water. Is this battle really as easy as adults say?

Although he is very confident in his own force, it is only useful when he can jump to fight, and if he is so far away from Mingren, he will open fire, will he still have a chance to get close to Mingren?

Despite the heavy artillery fire of the Akito, Takeuchi commanded several ships to approach the Exocet 9 quickly.

Zhang Huan was very dissatisfied with the gunners on his ship, and he was greatly annoyed that he missed the first round.

"The second round has not yet hit, and everyone in the artillery crew has to wash the deck for a month!" The immature voice shook the hearts of all the gunners.

Although he is not a young captain, this captain is the number one in the naval platoon of Changsheng Island, whether it is his qualifications in the Changxing Army or the major battles he participated in.

At first, everyone thought that a baby captain would definitely suffer, but who would have thought that they would always be at the top every time they trained.

And this little captain's methods of rectifying people are also first-class, and a few months of training will make this group of soldiers want to die. Although they always liked to joke with Zhang Huan, the captain's fire cheered up the gunners.

After a tense rush, the second salvo of Exocet 9 was fired again. Five guns opened fire at once, firing hot projectiles at the Japanese warship.

Before Takeuchi had gone far to command the five small boats, the second shelling of the Akito arrived. Takeuchi's first thought was that this was too fast, how long has it been? It's only a dozen breaths of time, doesn't the Mingren's artillery need to be cleared and charged?

The Flying Fish clipper's shell didn't give him much time to think at all, and a small morning was hit by a cannonball in the bow.

The destructive power of the 9-pounder cannon was undoubtedly fatal for a small ship like Kohaya, and it only took one shot to shatter Kozai's bow.

The entire ship was shattered by the shock, and splinters of wood swept through the oarsmen on board. These unarmoured Japanese fell on the ship covered in blood.

But that's not all, a lot of seawater poured in from the bow. The stern of the small hayabune began to leave the surface of the sea, and then disintegrated into countless pieces in the air.

A boatload of Japanese fell into the sea, and they struggled desperately in the water. He stretched out his hands to Takeuchi as he passed by, but Takeuchi did not stop the boat to rescue the Japanese who had fallen overboard.

The artillery of the Ming people is very powerful, and if you stay for a moment, it will be more dangerous. Only by constantly moving forward, forward, and forward can he get close to the Ming warship and fight for the opportunity to engage in broadside battles.

The second round hit finally made Zhang Huan's face smile, as long as he fought like this, he was not afraid of more Japanese ships.

Takeuchi kept approaching the Exocet clipper under fire, and by the time he reached a mile away, there were only two small hayafunes left by his side.

The stern of one of the small early ships has been broken, and it is unknown whether it can hold out until it gets close to the Ming warship.

He knew that he couldn't wait any longer, if he didn't fight back, the morale of himself and the others would be destroyed by the Akito, and he wouldn't win even if he waited for the broadside battle.

"Push the big tube out and shoot back!" Takeuchi shouted hoarsely, only in this way can the other two small hayafunes hear, and give these Japanese people a little confidence,

His shouts were very effective, and the widows in the three boats erupted in cheers. The sound came from afar, and even Zhang Huan on the Flying Fish 9 could hear it vividly.

Zhang Huan looked around suspiciously, took a look at the warship of the Japanese people, and said, "Did the Japanese fire their guns?" ”

Ma Le shook his head.

"Did the Japanese hit us?" Zhang Huan asked again.

Ma Le still shook his head.

Zhang Huan then said: "The Japanese are crazy! Leave them alone, get ready! Let this group of Japanese people see what heavy artillery is! ”

As soon as the first mate agreed, he gave an order to the artillery crew, and the fast-haired Chuyang artillery group who was idle on the side quickly loaded the Chuyang cannon with shells and aimed at the official ship of the Japanese people.

The sixth gun that had been silent on the side of Exocet 9 was the 24-pounder Sungun, which had too short a range and could only be used at a distance of one mile.

They finally waited for the opportunity to fight, and everyone adjusted and adjusted the first sun cannon, and just as they were about to fire the cannon after repeated aiming, a puff of white smoke rose from the Takeuchi ship.

The cannon fired from the ship of Takeuchi Seki startled Zhang Huan, although he had always looked down on the artillery of the Japanese people, and if the gutter capsized the boat, he could not afford to lose this person.

Takeuchi was lucky enough to hit the Exocet Clipper with the first shot, and less than 1 pound of shells hit the board of the Exocet 9 on the side of the ship, just "Boom!" It was over. Zhang Huan leaned out to look at the place where he was hit, and there was no damage except for a shallow crater on the wooden board.

Is this artillery? Te Mu's isn't to amuse yourself! Compared to the power of the firearm on Changsheng Island, it is not much stronger, at most it is about the same as the power of the Ming army's spear.

After seeing the power of the Japanese artillery, Zhang Huan became more confident. For the first time, the First Sun Cannon also participated in a real naval battle, and the first shell came out of its chamber, and the entire Exocet Clipper moved backwards by two feet.

Zhang Huan hurriedly asked the sailors in the bottom warehouse to check the condition of the ship, and his two early yang cannons were forced to come from the artillery workshop by virtue of his young age. It is also called the actual combat test, although he has tested a few shots before, but the actual combat still makes him a little more careful.

Shortly after, the soldiers in the bottom compartment reported that the ship did not appear to be unharmed. The Exocet uses a rib at one-and-a-half-foot intervals, and the dense ribs add to the sturdiness of the ship. Although the recoil of the early sun cannon is huge, it has not caused damage to the Exocet clipper.

Zhang Huan, who was relieved, began to look at the Japanese people's Guan Ship, and he also wanted to know what the destructive power of the 24-pounder Chuyang Cannon was.

Takeuchi's starting hit greatly boosted the morale of the samurai of the Satsuma Domain, and although he didn't do any damage to the Exocet clipper, it was already blessed by Amaterasu to be able to hit the penalty shot.

Takeuchi believed that as long as they could get close to the Akito warship, they would definitely go to the final victory.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the Ming warship not far away, and this time the cannon sound was much louder than the previous ones.

The sound of the cannonballs fired was also very strange, and the whistling sound like someone dropping a heavy object from a high altitude made Takeuchi involuntarily look up.
