Ise Bay is the largest bay in Japan, located between Owari Province, Ise Province, and Mikawa Province. In the past, there were countless ships passing through the bay all day long. Most of them were merchants from Ise Jingu and Tsushima towns, and they traded a variety of things by boat.

Only today, the bay ushered in a rare quiet, and as far as the eye could see, there was hardly any ship traffic in the entire sea. The reason why this is so is only because the merchants on both sides have been notified that a big war will break out in this sea area in the next two days!

Da Zhu Crane stood on the deck, feeling the oncoming sea breeze, and his excitement could not be calmed down for a long time. It has been 11 years since she left Dazhu's house, and she has finally regained command of the fleet and roamed on this vast sea. After 11 years of hibernation, who can understand her longing for the sea?

For the sake of Oda Yoshinobu's words, Ozuru gave everything he had. Although Oda Yoshinobu is no different from other women, for the Great Zhu Crane who has a dream of the sea in her heart, at this moment, she really let go of her past.

"Lord, don't worry, your subordinates will definitely help you build the most powerful navy in the world!" Da Zhu Crane secretly swore an oath in his heart.

Oda Yoshinobu never told anyone about his ambitions buried deep in his heart, but with his love for the sea, Ozuru was very sensitive to Oda Yoshinobu's ambitions outside of Japan from a series of actions. And the words before leaving also made Ozuru completely confirm Oda Yoshinobu's ambitions.

After all, if only Japan needs to be unified, there is no need for a navy that is too powerful.

"Great wishes, sir! Spot the enemy fleet! Fernand's voice woke up the Great Tsuru.

"Really? The order goes down, and the whole army stops the ship! The big ship faces the enemy sideways! The little early is responsible for the protection around the big ship! Hearing this, Da Zhuhe looked at it, and although he didn't see anything, he didn't doubt Fernand's words. Because before leaving, Oda Yoshinobu also handed her the telescope he got from Louis.

"Yes!" Fernande took the order and left.

"Lord, look at it, after this battle, no one in the world will dare to underestimate the navy of this family anymore!" Looking at the drunkard sailors who gradually appeared on the horizon, Da Zhuhe thought to himself.

With the order of the Great Zhu Tsuru, soon the Oda Navy turned the hull of the ship and turned to the side in the direction that the Nine Ghost Navy was coming from. And those little mornings were around the big ship, like guards. And after the Oda Navy was all completed, everyone finally saw the whole picture of the Nine Ghost Water Army.

Dozens of Kozao and Seki ships surrounded an Ataka ship and continued to sail towards the Oda family navy in a circular phalanx. Just looking at the scale, that's quite domineering.

"Hehe, the Nine Ghosts Jialong did a good job." Seeing this, Da Zhu Crane sneered and whispered. Hawkers, it's not that she's sarcastic, because this water army of Nine Ghost Jialong, in terms of scale alone, is indeed quite good.

You must know that the Nine Ghost Water Army at this time is actually the whole of the Kumano Water Army. The Nanashima people, who originally belonged to the Kumano Water Army, have been driven out of Shima Province by the Nine Demons Yoshitaka. Thinking about it this way, it is not easy for Nine Ghost Jialong to form such a powerful water army.

You must know that even the Mishima Navy that dominates the Seto Inland Sea is only a few Ataka ships. Hawkers, in this era, the Ataka ship is basically equivalent to the aircraft carrier of later generations, and only with the Ataku ship can it be called a powerful naval army. Although it is somewhat arbitrary to say this, the Ataka ship is at sea in this era, uh...... Well, in the seas of Japan's Warring States period, it was the absolute hegemon of the sea, and it was not until the appearance of ironclad ships in the later period that this law was broken.

Therefore, the Nine Ghosts Jialong does have the qualifications to be proud, and he also has the ability to look down on the Oda family. However, obviously, although the Nine Demons Yoshitaka was very familiar with naval battles, when he saw the formation laid out by the Oda family's navy, he was directly stunned.

Hawkers, in this era, although there are many tactics in naval warfare, but in general, the mainstream is still rushing to hit the ship first and then hand-to-hand combat. It's not for any other reason, it's mainly because the range of weapons in this era is too short, and even if you want to play long-range attacks, you don't have that ability.

In this way, it can explain why the Nine Demons Yoshitaka can't understand the intentions of the Oda Navy. How can there be any reason to put the ship sideways to face the enemy? Isn't this looking for a collision? You must know that whether it is Xiaozao, Guanchuan or Anzhai ship, they are all equipped with very hard ramming angles, according to the estimation of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, at the current speed, the only fate of the 5 Nanban ships is to be knocked out of several holes by the fleet of the Nine Ghosts Jialong on the spot, and then buried in the sea.

But if there is any conspiracy of the Oda Navy, the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka can't guess it. For these Nanban ships, Nine Ghost Jialong also knew about it. How so? Good ship indeed! Strong endurance, large transportation capacity, and ocean-going strength are not comparable to the ship or the house.

It's just that if you want to fight in turns, or more specifically in the near sea, then the paddle boat is enough to kill the sailboat in an instant. The reason is also very simple, speed! Human-powered oarboats do not have the extreme weather dependence of sailboats, and they are extremely fast in both tailwinds and disadvantages.

And, most importantly, the flexibility of a paddleboat is not comparable to that of a sailboat. Because after the galley boat turns, it only needs manpower to control it and it can be completed in an instant. And what about sailboats? then know to rely on the rudder to steer slowly. By the way, the so-called rudder is the oar-like thing on the stern of the ship, not the steering wheel-like thing seen in the captain's cabin in many movies.

"Lord, it's about 500 meters away from the enemy!" The voice of a retainer woke up the Nine Demons Yoshitaka who was still thinking, and looked intently at the Oda Navy, who was still facing him sideways, staying on the surface of the sea as if waiting for death, and the Nine Demons Yoshitaka gritted his teeth and shouted, "Full speed ahead!" No matter what tricks the other party has on the other side, we have to let them know that the Nine Ghost Water Army is the overlord of Ise Bay! ”

"Yes!"

"Great wishes, my lord, the enemy army is starting to accelerate!" The actions of the Nine Ghost Water Army were quickly reported to Da Zhuhe by his subordinates, but in fact, even if no one reported it, it was obviously impossible for Da Zhuhe not to see it.

"Give the order to go down, reload the artillery, and shoot at the Ataka ship as soon as it reaches range! All the iron gunners are ready to shoot as soon as the enemy enters the maximum firing range! "Da Zhu Crane kept giving orders.

"Yes!"

With Da Zhu He's order, the 4 guns were immediately filled with ammunition, and all of them were aimed at the only house ship of the Nine Ghost Water Army. Speaking of which, this time, in order to attack the country of Shima, Oda Yoshinobu asked for two cannons that were given to Oda Nobunaga again. Before leaving, Oda Nobunaga's reluctant and warning eyes really made Oda Yoshinobu's hairs stand upside down.

At the same time, the iron cannon, the roasted jade, and the fire arrows were all prepared. After acquiring the Europa sailing ship, Oda Yoshinobu has been working hard to develop a fleet dominated by sailing ships. Although Ozuru didn't understand why Oda Yoshinobu chose this kind of ship that was completely inferior to the oarboat, she didn't have much doubt about it.

In her heart, since she is a retainer, she only needs to obey the orders of the lord and work hard to carry them out. So she quickly developed a tactic to be used on a sailboat, or rather, the only tactic that was suitable for this kind of sailboat, a long-range attack. However, Oda Yoshinobu's step-by-step actions made Ozuru understand why Oda Yoshinobu loved this kind of sailboat, and he trained harder.

Now, looking at the quick and unified actions of these sailors, you can see how much thought Da Zhu Crane has put into them.

400 m ...... 300 m ...... 200 m ...... 100 m ...... The distance between the Nine Ghost Water Army and the Oda Navy is getting closer and closer, and in fact, Dazhu Tsuru has long been able to give the order to run away. It's just that, after all, it is the first time to officially fire artillery in the war, and Da Zhuhe still chose the most secure distance.

50 meters! When the Nine Ghost Water Army came to this distance, Da Zhu He immediately shouted, "Fire!" ”

With the wave of the flag, the sea area suddenly resounded with the earth-shattering cannon sound, "Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! "Four consecutive cannon shots, even on this vast ocean, still shocked everyone.

"What's that?!" Nine Ghost Jialong looked stupidly at the opposite side not far away, where on the Nanban ship, a black cylinder was emitting thick smoke.

"Iron cannon? Big iron cannon?! Nine Ghost Jialong thought in shock, the shape and sound of the cannon seemed to be very similar to the iron cannon...... Uh, hey, man, shouldn't you be concerned about those flying shells first?

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! "There were four loud bangs in a row, and all four cannonballs hit the Anzhai ship where Nine Ghost Jialong was located, and in an instant, four big holes were smashed open. There was even one that landed next to Nine Ghost Jialong, and Nine Ghost Jialong did not react to this.

"How...... How so? Nine Ghost Jialong trembled as he looked at the deck that had been smashed out of four large holes, and from below, countless screams continued to come up from the mouth of the cave, and some people shouted in horror, "It's leaking!" ”
