Shimazu Tadashi's current mood, not to mention how hard it is. After their Satsuma Domain was destroyed, the daimyo and feudal lords from all over Japan had taken advantage of the fierce war between the Satsuma Domain and the Shogunate for a few months, and then everyone united under the leadership of the Tokugawa Shogunate to jointly exterminate the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain, which had destroyed the stability and unity of Japan.

These daimyo and feudal lords were all vested interests, and the Tokugawa shogunate was weakened, so it had to compromise with the daimyo and feudal lords in various regions to maintain the current balance. And several daimyo of the Satsuma domain and Kyushu, later...... There will be no future.

The samurai and ashigaru of the Satsuma clan who fled here were demoralized and exhausted. Almost half of them died on the road to cover them, but only now did they realize their current situation.

The Satsuma samurai, who had no will to fight, were instead aroused to fight. From Shimazu Tadashi to the ordinary spear Ashigaru, they all regarded this as their last battle. They surrounded Shimazu Tadashine's main formation on the shore, lined up in a neat formation, and made a decisive posture. The Satsuma sailors anchored on the shore also had the courage to fight to the death, and they drove the warships one after another, rushing towards the dense warships on the sea in the distance.

The elite of the shogunate, who had been killed from all directions, and the samurai of various daimyo and feudal lords, Ashigaru, slowly pressed on the Satsuma clan army on the shore. Everyone knows that the months-long war initiated by the Satsuma clan has finally come to an end.

Just as the tension was raging above, a dull roar suddenly sounded on the sea in the distance.

Hundreds of wooden warships rushed up from a distance, driving at great speed, firing artillery over and over again, and the warships of the shogunate exploded, and then ignited a raging fire. All of a sudden, the sea seemed to be boiling.

Shimazu Tadashi, who was already desperate. My heart instantly became excited. He stared at his red eyes and shouted loudly: "The Far Eastern Army has come to save us......"

"Ah...... Ah......h

Countless samurai and ashigaru of the Satsuma Army were also stunned by the surprise that suddenly came. They were stunned for a long time before they could recover from their sluggishness. Then he yelled excitedly.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Another violent roar sounded, and dozens of huge sail warships also sailed in the direction of the Kii Suido, and directly rushed into the fleet composed of the shogunate navy, Awaji and Awa sailors. First of all, the huge Ataka ships were hit, and the hull of the ship instantly disintegrated and burst, and then the flames soared into the sky.

Immediately after that, various warships were coming from the direction of Shodoshima and Kii Suido, each of which was very fast, and all of them were loaded with guns, and their firepower was extremely powerful. A cannon spewed flames, wantonly sweeping the shogunate sailors on the sea.

The Japanese warships, which mainly used iron artillery as their main means of attack, did not even have a chance to fight back. It was blown apart one after another, and the flames soared into the sky. The entire surface of the sea was littered with fragmented wreckage and flaming warships. The sea was full of the heads of the shogunate's navy, who jumped off the burning and disintegrating warship and swam desperately to the distant shore.

But the navy of the Far East ignored them, driving a speeding warship back and forth on the sea full of dense human heads, and in an instant the sea was full of floating corpses. This sea is like a sea of red.

He Wu stood on a dhow, holding a telescope and constantly observing the battle situation on the sea. Now he is a trainee captain. After two years of study, he was assigned to the Sangnathan Coast Guard of Tanegashima Coast Guard on a triangular schooner, where he spent another year of training before becoming a co-captain of an improved sailing ship.

He shouted all kinds of passwords loudly, and commanded the battleship to charge around. In the environment of complex sea conditions in such offshore areas. The diesel engine of the dhow is particularly important.

With two high-horsepower diesel engines produced by the Far Eastern Machinery Factory, as well as nimble spin-nails, the battleship was not only extremely fast, but also extremely agile in maneuvering. Shuttle flexibly between the shogunate warships that are densely packed on the sea. The officers and men of the shogunate were stunned as they watched the warships larger than their ships whizz through the gaps between their fleets.

The speed is not as fast as others, the firepower is not as strong as others, and the flexibility is not compared with others, even if it is a collision, it can't hit others. That's a fart, it's just bullying......

He Wu's Coast Guard Brigade has twelve schooners. This time they were the first to storm the battlefield. Faced with the dense shogunate naval warships on the sea, although each schooner was only equipped with a naval version of the extended 70 mm naval gun, the rate of fire of the naval guns was not slow at all.

The gunners on the ship trained hard every day, sitting over and over again with all kinds of boring movements, and the tactical movements of each gunner were almost done tens of thousands of times, and each tactical action has become a subconscious habit. Moreover, the gunners and gunners of each warship of the Navy did not miss the usual live ammunition, and many of them were carried out in harsh environments.

Therefore, today, all ships basically played well, and although the rate of fire did not reach the level of ordinary training, their performance in actual combat was also good. The ship's gun chief and two gun non-commissioned officers stood on both sides of the deck, holding binoculars, constantly directing the fire of the ship's guns.

In the face of the dense shogunate warships, the shooting rate of the naval guns was very high, almost every shot was hit. Because the opponents were the Japanese Ataka Ships, Sekifunes and Kozao, the gunners of the naval guns basically fired at a distance of more than 100 meters from them.

The shogunate navy used iron cannons and bows and arrows to carry out a futile counterattack, but they couldn't even get to the side of the people's ships, and the battle was fought as much as they were aggrieved, and they watched their warships being sunk and destroyed one by one, so they could only desperately flee into the distance.

As more offshore steam deck barges continued to arrive in the warring waters, a large number of Tokugawa shogunate naval forces, as well as Sanuki's Ikoma naval forces, and the Awa and Awaji Awa naval forces were sunk one after another. Even the fastest small morning boat could not escape the pursuit of the steam deck barges off the coast of the Far East.

The Far Eastern warships were speeding on the sea full of heads, and the heads of the shogunate sailors who fell into the water one by one were smashed alive. Even those who were lucky enough to escape the impact of the ship were blown out in the heads by the frantic fire of the water-cooled heavy machine guns on both sides of the Far Eastern warship.
