Although the Black Armor Army received the news two days in advance, it took time for the army to move, replenish weapons and ammunition, and prepare logistics materials, and in fact, the Black Armor Army was ready to cross the sea on August 15.

In order to preserve the combat capability of the soldiers to the maximum, instead of boarding the ships at the existing piers such as Sapporo and Fukuyama Castle, several wooden piers were planned to be built on the side of the Kamatsu Strait, the southernmost point of Ezo Island.

Of course, the supplies of the logistics department of the army were already loaded at the commercial dock in the town of Fukuyama Castle, where the soldiers were lightly armed, with several wooden trestle bridges, and it was believed that the boarding speed was fast.

……

But when the large army arrived at the edge of the Qingjin Strait, the plan could not catch up with the rapid changes, but the navy that had been agreed with was nowhere to be seen, Yang Rentian was very annoyed in his heart, he picked up the telescope and observed.

"Shhh Yang Rentian couldn't help but gasp when he saw this, it turned out that the navy was not not coming, but saw that the Japanese army on the other side had gathered a large number of warships, the scale could be said to cover the sky and the earth, a large area of black pressure on the sea, at least thousands of warships, they rushed to the middle of the strait to guard or prepare to attack.

In fact, he still looked at the navy less, and he didn't have the option of guarding against it at all, but directly prepared to attack.

Regardless of the fact that the size of the other side's ships is several times larger, the confident navy simply treats the Japanese army as nothing.

Why is the Navy so confident? Is it hubris? You must know that the navy is different from the army, and there is not much advantage in individual combat power, unless it comes to the final gang jump.

The navy is a purely technical branch of the armed forces, and it pays attention to the annihilation of the enemy before the gang jumping, that is, the emphasis is on long-range strike capabilities.

The Far Eastern Kingdom's weapons and equipment have been greatly upgraded this time, and the combat power has increased the fastest, and the most obvious effect is not the army, but the navy that was previously reduced to a marginal service, which is equivalent to a transport fleet.

This is to blame only Yang Wenli, as soon as he was happy that day, he opened his mouth to equip each warship with two cannons, one on the front and one on the front and rear decks.

My goodness, he said casually, do you know what the concept of two field cannons is? It's the enemy!

The reason why the cannon is called a cannon is because its trajectory is straight, and it is also called a direct-fire gun, which can hit wherever it is aimed.

Of course, there is a premise that the two ships should not be too far apart, and if they are too far away, a direct-fire cannon will become a curved gun.

But this can't be too far, and the score is in the opposite direction, like the cannon in Europe at this time, it is to shoot within 500 meters, and the rise of the Japanese Empire Britain in the future is even more extreme, they are only allowed to reach nearly 300 meters before the artillery bombardment, before that they can only be beaten passively.

I can't help but say that the British robbers are really ruthless characters, Cheng Biting Jin has three axes, and they relied on this axe to defeat the old empire Spain, where the sun never sets, and instead become the world hegemon, ruling the world for hundreds of years, which is a much more powerful role than today's American imperialism.

What is the level of this light cannon developed by Yang Wenli? It is a guy who can be compared with the same level of cannon in the 21st century, the long and slender barrel not only ensures the accuracy of the shell, but also significantly increases the muzzle velocity of the cannonball, and the corresponding direct firing distance is also significantly increased.

Don't look at the cannon is too small, the total weight is only 150 kilograms, the barrel of the cannon is like a toothpick, two soldiers can carry it, but the power is really not covered.

Its direct firing distance is two kilometers, that is, its shells are as straight as a straight line within two kilometers, which really means where to hit.

Two kilometers and 500 meters, that is, no matter how many cannons the gunboats in the West are equipped with, they will definitely be sunk by the navy of the Far Eastern Kingdom before they reach the range of their attacks.

That's talking about the Western powers, it's the work of giant ships and cannons, Japan should forget it! Although there are also cannons, they are also high-quality bronze cannons bought from the West, but the warships alone are several levels apart, one is a giant ship with a displacement of thousands of tons, and the other has a pitiful displacement of less than 100 tons.

The configuration of the cannons is too far apart, and they are ashamed to say that due to the small size of the ship, the Japanese warships can be equipped with a large-caliber cannon in the bow of the ship, and the other two sides can only be equipped with Francophone cannons, which are iron sand, and have no lethality to the ship, which is purely murderous, and the distance is very close, and can only shoot at a distance of 150 meters to more than 200 meters, which is a large musket.

If I compare it like this, everyone will know why the navy has so much confidence and treats thousands of Japanese warships as if they were nothing.

Not to mention, the fight has already begun, the navy did not say a word of nonsense, lined up in formation, drove to a distance of one to two kilometers from the Japanese fleet, and set up artillery and prepared to bombard.

It has to be said that sometimes the war is also very comedic, and the distance chosen by the navy, which was only a distance to observe and prepare before, could not hit the other side, so the major names on the Japanese side and the shogunate elder Nakamatugaira Nobutsuna all calmly raised their binoculars to observe the opponent's military situation.

In the telescope, Matsudaira Nobutsuna saw that the soldiers on the other side were busy erecting a very small object, and there was only one bow of the ship.

Matsudaira Nobu estimated that it was just an iron cannon, (note: it was a bowl mouth) because the barrel was too thin, like a toothpick, the iron cannon could only attack at close range, and it was loud and powerful, and it took a lot of effort to kill an enemy, because the barrel was too long, and it would be a dumb cannon if it was not filled properly, and he had seen a lot of this kind of thing.

Seeing the situation on the other side, Matsudaira Nobutsuna couldn't help but smile, he put down his binoculars and said to the general Ashigaru next to him: "There is nothing to be afraid of thieves, they don't have big guns (cannons), only iron cannons, and the threat to our army is limited. ”

"Hahahaha!" The generals all laughed along, and it seemed that the battle would not be strenuous anymore.

One of the generals proposed: "In this case, my army might as well take advantage of the situation to attack and blow them all into the sea to feed the fish." ”

"Good! Pass my orders......"

Matsudaira Nobutsuna accepted his suggestion, and just as he wanted to give the order to attack, he heard a series of explosions, which were simply deafening, and his order was naturally unspeakable.

Matsudaira Nobutsuna was the commander-in-chief of this crusade against the rebellion on Ezo Island, and there was an observation and command post on the high ground on the side of the Kamatsu Strait, and they were condescending, and this time they didn't need binoculars, because they could see with the naked eye that their own fleet was being blown up, and it was obvious that the other side had launched an attack.

But the other party obviously doesn't have a big gun? What he just said is still there! Matsudaira Nobutsuna couldn't help but blush, I don't know if he was angry or embarrassed.

He raised his binoculars again and looked at the other party, and this time he saw clearly, only to see a foot of flame erupting from the small cannon in the shape of a toothpick rod, followed by a series of deafening sounds, and his own fleet was shot one after another.

"Can you hit it so far? And the power is so huge, it's miserable, this battle can't be fought, don't think about crossing the sea and landing, it's the best policy to defend the ground. ”

Matsudaira Nobutsuna's heart was racing, and he immediately made a decision, and he immediately ordered loudly: "Someone, give me an order, order all fleets to dock immediately, and abandon the sea crossing and landing." ”
