The Seto Inland Sea, which means narrow strait. www.biquge.info This is the most prosperous sea route in Japan, because almost all merchant ships from the Ming Kingdom, Korea, and Kyushu regions want to go to through the Seto Inland Sea. And this is also the reason why the Maori Navy or the Mishima Navy dare to claim the first place in the world, because they occupy the most critical sea areas. It was not until the continuous development of the Argotic Chamber of Commerce in these years that the monopoly of the Seto Inland Sea was broken.

The reason for this is also very simple, in ancient times, because of the ability of ships to go to the sea, except for those who died specially, all ships sailed along the coastal waters. The Seto Inland Sea covers an area of 9,500 square kilometers, but it is home to 525 islands.

For all those who go to sea, islands mean fresh water, food, medicine, and are their lifeline. Therefore, it is natural that it has become the preferred place for many fleets to travel and travel.

"Oh, Lord Daiju, passing through the Iyo Beach ahead, you will enter the Seto Inland Sea." A sailor reported respectfully.

"Hmm." Da Zhuhe frowned and looked ahead, as far as his eyes could see, countless islands were scattered in the sea area in front of him, some of them were more than a dozen nautical miles between them, while others were only a few nautical miles or even less than 1 nautical mile. These islands divide the entire Kyushu gateway to the Seto Inland Sea into countless passages. It's just that these kaido, which seemed to the merchants to be the road of life, seemed like a man-eating beast to the eyes of the Great Zhu Crane.

"Alas, although I know it, if I really want to order to enter this kind of place, I can't help but hesitate......" Da Zhuhe muttered to himself helplessly.

Ever since he was appointed Admiral by Yoshinobu Oda, Otsuru has never stopped studying the naval forces around Japan. It can be said with certainty that Da Zhuhe definitely knows more about these water armies than the forces to which those water armies belong.

Therefore, after seeing the number of other parties' ships, Da Zhuhe guessed what the other party was paying attention to. The Seto Inland Sea, a place where sailing ships and artillery can lose most of their advantage. Fighting far away will be a luxury here, because there are so many islands around that you can barely see an empty sea.

In this way, the Maori navy can easily hide in the surrounding islands, or swagger and disappear from the sight of the islands like the Maori navy that came to stop them. Here, simple paddle boats can exert their maximum power, with fast steering, fast speed, and a large number of people.

And this is also the reason why Saeki Yuumi has been playing in front of the Mishima Navy for so long, but he has never tried to sail into the Seto Inland Sea. Because Saeki Yukai knew that as long as he entered the Seto Inland Sea, with his ten small Galen ships, it was completely to deliver food to the enemy.

This is a righteous strategy, if the navy of Ojuzuru does not enter the Seto Inland Sea, then the Maori naval army that goes to reinforce will attack Shodoshima with absolute numerical superiority. And once Shodoshima is lost, then the whole of Sanuki will fall into the range of the Maori army. Like the Seto Inland Sea, there were countless islands between Shodoshima and Sanuki, and Saeki's navy would not be able to resist the attack of the Maori navy.

"It's worthy of Maori Yuan~" Da Zhu He pondered for a moment, then suddenly stretched his brows and smiled, "But there is still a big difference between naval warfare and land warfare!" With that, Dazhu Tsuru did not hesitate to give the order to march, and the fleet of 18 warships began to march towards the Seto Inland Sea.

"It's coming......" The leader of the Bungo Navy whispered to himself as he looked at the approaching Oda Navy, his eyes shining with greed. As long as this fleet is defeated, not only can you get these Nanban ships and a large number of artillery, but you can also completely become a real sea overlord. When the time comes, even the Maori family will have to look at my face and act! ”

The leader of the Bungo Navy thought excitedly in his heart, they had never fought against the Oda Navy, although Mori Moto had warned them, but they had not really seen terror, how could they know what terror was?

Finally, as if he didn't know anything, the Oda Navy sailed directly into the Seto Inland Sea, apparently preparing to sail directly to the territory of the Mishima Navy and engage in front and rear with another Oda Navy.

It's just, "Knock knock!" The rapid bell rang again, and countless warships rushed towards the Oda Navy from all directions.

"Cloth Circle! Free Fire! Seeing this, Da Zhu Crane chuckled.

Immediately, I saw that the fleet, which was originally a snake formation, turned around in an instant, and in a short time, a large circle was drawn on the sea, and it was connected with the last ship in the formation.

In a circle, all ships face the enemy sideways, with their heads and tails connected in a circle. This formation is most suitable for facing enemies from all sides.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Dozens of artillery pieces were constantly shelling in all directions, and there was no need to aim at all, because even if they missed the enemy, the huge splash could knock over the nearest morning.

"Musketeers! Fire Arrow Team! Get ready! "Countless sailors aimed their muskets and bows at the enemy, and when the enemy came into range, they knew what a barrage was.

Speaking of which, although bows and arrows disappeared completely in the army under Oda Yoshinobu, they still retained the vast majority of the navy, after all, for wooden ships, fire arrows were sometimes even more powerful than artillery.

"Rush! Rush up! Kill all your enemies and rob their ships! Countless leaders of the navy shouted to encourage their subordinates, and like the leader of the Bungo navy, the leaders of the other navy had similar ideas.

Soon, countless Kohaya and Seki ships rushed under the Oda Navy under the barrage, countless flying hooks hooked the side of the ship, along the ropes, facing the enemy's muskets and arrows, and countless pirates began to climb towards the ship.

Countless pirates fell into the sea or on ships, but then many more climbed up, and their leaders had already told them that the enemy was all bows and arrows or muskets, and that if they got close, they were just a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

It's just that...... When they actually climbed onto the side of the ship and stepped onto the deck, they found that the enemies with muskets were rushing directly with muskets, and at the same time, they also saw the shining blade of the musket in their hands. As for the archers, they simply threw away their longbows and drew their swords to meet them.

"Unless there is a god-like martial arts like the lord, otherwise, the war still depends on powerful equipment and hard training~" Looking at the melee on the deck, Da Zhuhe chuckled to himself.
