Chapter 256: A Sudden Attack

The East China Sea, which flows directly into the Huangpu River, is much larger than the Bohai Sea, an inland sea of the East Asian continent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

The East China Sea covers an area of about 770,000 square kilometers, and the average depth of the continental shelf in the East China Sea is 72 meters, and the deepest point is close to the west side of Okinawa Island.

Therefore, if you want to reach the mainland of your country from Nanjing, you can reach Okinawa in less than ten days if the sea conditions are good.

At present, the East China Sea is completely owned by the Ming Dynasty, and if you want to reach Okinawa as soon as possible, you must pass through Lianyungang, which is Haizhou in Huai'an Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty.

On the vast sea, layers of waves rise and fall.

Today's weather on the sea can only be regarded as good, with a slight sea breeze, and the sun overhead is half-hidden by clouds, exuding a gray glow, which makes this March day a little warmer.

A convoy of six large ships was sailing on the sea, and the direction in which they were traveling was probably heading towards the island of Okinawa.

Gull!

The chirping of seagulls in the sky was heard as they picked up the fish from the sea, crossed an arc under the sky, and flew down to the mast of the big ship, tasting the fresh fish while watching curiously on the deck.

The crew members of the ship, all of them had their heads in the moon, dressed as samurai, and all of them had their right legs lame, and all of them had wounds on their faces, and there was a sense of grief on their bodies.

There were two men on the bow, the one on the left was a middle-aged man with a slightly chubby body and wounds on his face and body, and the other was a lean young man.

He knelt in front of the middle-aged man, his face also covered with scars.

If Zhu Song was on the ship, he would definitely be able to recognize these people as the people of the Saymoto Mission, and the two guys on the bow deck were the unlucky chief and deputy leaders of the Ashikaga Mission and Watanabe Kirito.

It turned out that after the sword competition that day, after Ashikaga Mitsukan returned to the pavilion, he followed the gambling agreement, and wrote the national letter after coming to the Ming Dynasty without the slightest omission, and sent it back to the moon home.

After waiting for more than 20 days, a thousand Japanese knives were sent to the Tang Dynasty, along with a thousand female slaves.

If you don't say that the book is cheap, if you beat him up, he will know what he can do and what he can't do.

After these things were delivered to the hands of the Ming Emperor, Ashikaga Mitsutsu and Watanabe Kirito and the people of the mission set out on the return journey naked.

At this moment, Ashikaga Mitsutsune, who had recovered a lot from his injuries, sat on a huge chair and looked at Watanabe Kirito kneeling in front of him, with a gloomy face.

"Watanabe, you have to take full responsibility for returning home this time!" Ashikaga Mitsutsumi looked at Watanabe Kirito fiercely, "Everything is what you promised, you, and your family, are all involved!" ”

"Hey!" Watanabe Kirito was already pale, "Your Excellency, Watanabe is willing to take all the responsibility, but ...... I beg you to keep my wife and children. ”

"Yaga!" Ashikaga Mitsutsune stepped forward and slapped Watanabe Kirito in the face fiercely, and said, "Whether I can survive this time is a question, you still want me to keep your wife and children, are you dreaming?" ”

Watanabe Kirito was slapped to the ground by Ashikaga Mankan, and his eyes began to be bloodshot: "Your Excellency, you are the younger brother of the shogun after all, you will be fine, if you ask the general......"

"Yaga, Yaga!"

It's good that Watanabe Kirito didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Ashikaga Mitsukan was even more furious: "Those four samurai are the most outstanding disciples of Aso-ryu, and their relatives have a very high status in the shogun's mansion. To appease them, do you think I'll still be alive? ”

"Your Excellency...... "Watanabe Kirito wanted to say something.

At this time......

Rumble!

What, what sound?

All the people on the ship were stunned, what was going on with this thunderous sound?

Before these little books could react, the entire sea began to sway, and then the boat on which Ashikaga Mitsukan and the others were sitting began to rise and fall.

"Quick, let's go see what's going on?" Ashikaga Mitsutsune's face was serious, and he quickly ordered his subordinates to see what was going on.

Boom Boom!

Three loud bangs were heard, and this time the ship was no longer violently up and down, but after a jolt, it first floated upward, and then suddenly sank.

"Your Excellency, it's not good, our ship is leaking!"

The samurai who was sent by Ashikaga Mankan to investigate the situation hurriedly ran over at this time and reported to Ashikaga Mankan, who was swaying left and right.

"Hurry up and repair the ship!" Ashikaga Mitsutsune's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly ordered his samurai to repair the ship.

Rumble!

Before the samurai could reply, there was another loud noise, and then a round, black and black thing the size of a baby's head flew over.

"Your Excellency, get out of the way!"

Watanabe Kirito was quick to see the opportunity, but he said it soundly, but he ran faster than anyone else.

Thundered!

The black ball fell, smashing out a large crater in the position they had occupied, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder.

Yes, this time the ship is really leaking, and there is no need to repair it!

"Run!"

"It can't be repaired anymore, Your Excellency, get off the ship!"

The ship was blown away, and all the soldiers on the ship screamed.

These warriors who had poured blood mold for eight lifetimes were so shocked that the chickens and dogs jumped up on the boat, and the sea surface seemed to explode, and everyone was stunned by a series of loud noises.

Ashikaga Mitsutsune, who fled to a lifeboat in a panic, was stunned as he looked at the ship that was slowly sinking into the sea with flames not far behind.

He didn't know what it was, especially the roar, which was like thunder.

"Your Excellency, ship, there's a ship over there!"

At this moment, one of the samurai of the lifeboat suddenly pointed in one direction and shouted.

Ashikaga Mitsutsumi and Watanabe Kirito followed the hand of the Samurai to look at the ocean in the distance.

There, there's a weird ship.

It is said to be weird, but in fact, Ashikaga Mantsu is no stranger to these ships, because those two ships are the ships of the Ming Dynasty, to be precise, they are war ships, lucky ships!

The blessed ship, the tower is threefold, the bottom is wide at the top, the head and tail are high, and it can accommodate 100 people.

It is not a Daifuku ship, because the Daifuku ship has poor maneuverability, and this kind of Fuku ship is slightly smaller, "commonly used".

It's just that what makes Ashikaga Mitsutsu and Watanabe Kiritsu care is that there are three swarthy pipes that seem to be made of iron sticking out of the hull of the Nafuku boat on the bottom layer.

Although he had not experienced the Yuan Dynasty and had never suffered from the iron hooves of the Yuan Dynasty, Ashikaga Mitsutsune still recognized the owners of these pipes at a glance: cannons, artillery!

At the time of the Yuan Dynasty, Möngke Khan formed the first professional artillery unit of the Yuan Dynasty and began the world's first artillery expedition, which shined in the western expedition.

The artillery has an extremely ferocious and terrifying attack power, how is it possible that these Ming people actually installed the cannon on the Fu ship? (To be continued.) )
