Chapter 809: The Battle of the Seto Inland Sea (6)
In the Seto Inland Sea, countless ships continued to flock to the Oda Navy, like hyenas that had seen their prey, but apparently, they seemed to have completely miscalculated the enemy in front of them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's going on?! Why is the enemy's ability to fight hand-to-hand so strong?! Don't they only have a small amount of knives?! Many of the leaders of the navy in the distance questioned angrily.
Their ships were far out of range of the Oda naval artillery, and naturally they could not see the glittering bayonets on the enemy's muskets. And after receiving the report from their subordinates, their expressions froze.
"Broadside, melee, and long-range battles have all been suppressed?" These trolls looked at their subordinates in disbelief, obviously unable to accept this fact. After all, it is okay to be suppressed in long-range battles and melee battles because the enemy has a large number of artillery and muskets, but now they are suppressed even in broadside battles?
"Poof!"
"It's really useless......" Da Zhu Tsuru casually pulled out the sword that was inserted into the enemy's enemy, and sneered as he looked at the piled up of enemy corpses on the deck.
"Hey, do you feel that the lord seems to be a little different from the past?" Not far away, a retainer under the command of Da Zhuhe asked a person beside him curiously.
"Yes, yes, in normal times, the lord is like gold. But since leaving Sumaowan, the lord seems to like to talk to himself. The man agreed. Both of them were the leaders of the naval forces of the former Shima Kingdom, and after being defeated by the Great Zhu Tsuru, they also became her retainers.
But obviously, even they can't understand Da Zhuhe's mood at this time.
In the past, as the daughter of the leader of the Dazhu Navy, she single-handedly shouldered the heavy responsibility of fighting against the Ouchi family at the moment of family crisis. But after that, she was abandoned by her family. Although there are two aspects, seizing power and threatening Ouchi, Da Zhuhe believes that if he is a man, the family will definitely not compromise with the Ouchi family so easily, and those people under him will not be able to follow only a few dozen people after she needs it. You must know that Da Zhu Tsuru led them to defeat the invincible Ouchi Navy twice in a row!
So, when Oda Yoshinobu offered to help her create a new Daizhu family and build a powerful navy in exchange for her submission, Daijutsuru agreed without much hesitation, even before that, she was already planning to become a nun.
And now, half of her dream has been realized, and a powerful navy has gradually taken shape under her training, and the difference is only in numbers. And the other half will soon be realized, as long as she defeats the Maori navy, she will not only be able to prove that she has indeed built the world's largest navy, but also help herself avenge by the way. Although the people who forced themselves to leave at the beginning have basically passed away.
The war continued, but as time went on, the Maori navy, which had been unable to gain a foothold on deck, began to slowly weaken. Although the leaders of the various armies are still boosting morale, they have not done much.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the west, and the leaders of those sailors followed the sound, and their faces immediately darkened. A fleet of 15 Nanban ships is appearing at the western entrance to the Seto Inland Sea.
"Are you coming?" Da Zhu He saw that fleet, and a victorious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it was the rear army led by Yi An.
Da Zhu He, who was very clear about the enemy's naval army, after seeing the number of naval troops in the intelligence, combined with the various rumors that Mao Li Yuan had been having, in order to be on the safe side, Da Zhu Crane divided the fleet into two groups before departure, and nearly half of the ships led by Yi An acted separately from it.
At the beginning, Da Zhuhe thought that Maori Yuan might be caught back and forth, so he prepared a hand in advance. It just seemed that she was being too careful. But it's no wonder that although Da Zhu Tsuru is very excited because her dream is about to come true, at the same time, she has also become more careful.
One wrong step, one wrong step, she didn't want to fall short at the last moment because of her own problems.
The new Oda Navy was undoubtedly the last straw that crushed the Maori navy, and in the continuous artillery fire, many of the naval leaders soon fled, but none of them wanted to continue fighting.
After all, they are just pirates, and even if they are called sailors, they can't change their essence as thieves. And the thief, will he fight for his life for other forces? Apparently impossible! Even the Maori family is the same.
"Victory?"
When the enemy all began to flee, Da Zhuhe couldn't help but be stunned, no matter how good she thought, no matter how smooth the war was just now, but when the enemy began to flee and the shouts of victory began to sound, she still couldn't help but be stunned.
But in an instant, her expression changed back to resoluteness, "It's not over yet!" Crane, calm down! Da Zhu Crane patted his cheek and thought to himself. With this look, the soldiers around him looked puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask more.
But it was still there, and Da Zhuhe soon began to give orders, "Pass the order, and the whole army will start marching towards Mishima!" She did not intend to send men to pursue the fleeing Maori sailors, for there were too many fleeing ships, and with their mere 33 search boats trying to pursue, they could easily be eaten by the enraged enemy sailors in the Seto Inland Sea. On the other hand, Ozuru knew very well that if the Mishima navy was defeated again, the Maori navy would be completely defeated, and the entire sea area between Kyushu, Shikoku, and China would be completely occupied by the Oda family.
"Yes!" No one objected to this, even if some preferred to pursue the fleeing enemy. Just like ordinary Oda Standing Order, in the navy, orders are everything, and if you disobey them, no matter how high your status and outstanding combat achievements, you will still be punished.
An hour later.
"What's going on?! Why is there a navy of the Oda family in the rear?! Could it be that all those naval armies in Kyushu have been defeated?! Murakami Takeshi roared angrily.
"Murakami-sama, let's fight!" Murakami Yoshimitsu shouted loudly.
"Fight? What to spell with? The enemy can sink all our naval forces with artillery alone......" Murakami Takeyoshi suddenly showed a helpless look when he heard this, as if he had given up resistance.
This can't be blamed on him, it's really that the blow to him from the Oda Navy during this time is too great, long-range battles, close combat, and broadside battles, Murakami Takeyoshi understands for the first time that it turns out that equipment can really play such a big role in the war, and it turns out that a large number of people does not necessarily lead to victory.
