Chapter 162: Ironclad Battle

In the naval battle of Naha Bay, Shimazu Nobuyoshi was defeated, losing 20 or 30 warships, and his strength was greatly reduced, because the strength of the Japanese navy in this era was not good, and the loss of 20 or 30 warships was a huge loss. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Obviously, Shimazu Nobuyoshi was unwilling to lose, and after fleeing back to the Satsuma Domain, he accumulated strength, and what he thought about most was revenge.

Build new ships, recruit samurai, and train until your strength is restored, and then go to Naha Bay to avenge the defeat.

Shimazu Nobuyoshi held his breath and kept working hard to develop, since the Battle of Naha Bay, he hadn't been to Naha for so long, and the whole Naha was safe.

Today, Shimazu Nobuyoshi personally led the team to conduct sea training, standing on the flagship deck, Shimazu Nobuyoshi thought fiercely, I must take revenge, kill all the Ming troops in Naha Bay, definitely, must take revenge.

Shimazu Nobuyoshi is full of revenge, and his brain is filled with hatred, Shimazu Nobuyoshi didn't think about it, the "big enemy" Zhang Feng that he thinks about day and night is not far from him, the distance between the two sides is only dozens of nautical miles, and the distance between the two is still getting closer.

………

The ironclad ship Shanghai.

Zhang Feng stood on the bow deck of the ship, looking at the endless and calm sea, and thought in his heart, this place is not far from Japan, and it is not possible to encounter the Japanese fleet.

Princess Kunxing also walked over and stood next to Zhang Feng, "Brother Feng, what are you thinking, we deviated from the route, will there be a problem?" ā€

Zhang Feng smiled and said, "There will be no problem, we have enough coal on the ship, and there is no shortage of fresh water and food for the time being, we will just return to Songjiang Mansion one or two days late." ā€

"Hmm." Princess Kunxing nodded, her heart was light, and she said happily: "Brother Feng, the scenery is so beautiful, accompany me on the deck to see this beautiful scenery, okay." ā€

Princess Kunxing hugged Zhang Feng's arm and shook it coquettishly, Zhang Feng smiled slightly, nodded, leaned on the bow guardrail, and looked at the sea in the distance.

As far as the eye can see, the wind is calm.

Is there really nothing, no, because Zhang Feng and Shimazu Nobuyoshi's fleets are both sailing oppositely, and the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the lookout post on the Shanghai is the first to notice the abnormality.

"Lord Chief, a large fleet has been spotted in the southeast." Zhou Weixing, the captain of the Shanghai, personally came to report.

Hearing this, Zhang Feng nodded, and without even asking, Zhang Feng knew that he had found a large fleet in this position, it must be a Japanese fleet, but he didn't know if it was a merchant ship or a warship.

Zhang Feng gently patted Princess Kunxing's little hand and said, "Ru'er, you go into the cabin first." ā€

Without thinking about it, Princess Kunxing was not a little afraid, but became excited and happy, clapping her hands and saying: "Okay, okay, it's going to be a war, I want to see you shoot, I want to watch you fight." ā€

Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile and shook his head, took Princess Kunxing's little hand and said, "Good, go to the cabin." ā€

Princess Kunxing crossed her mouth and said coquettishly: "No, I want to watch you fight." ā€

Zhang Feng thought for a while and said, "Okay, go to the command room, but there is one thing I have to declare in advance, I can't be scared and cry when I wait." ā€

Princess Kunxing said: "I won't cry my nose, oh, I'm going to fight." ā€

Princess Kunxing clapped her hands and jumped happily at the same time, and came to the Shanghai command room with Zhang Feng and the others.

As the distance approached, it was clear through the telescope that the other side was a Japanese fleet, and all of them were warships, of various sizes and about a dozen in number.

"Japanese fleet!" Zhang Feng groaned, thinking in his heart, this must be fought, by the way, also to test the actual combat ability of these two ironclad ships, "012A" ironclad ship Zhang Feng personally designed, the main gun caliber is 150 mm, and there is thick armor.

The other side is a wooden ship, although the warships are generally relatively large, and most of them seem to exceed the displacement of 1,000 materials, and a few warships are estimated to be 2,000 materials in size.

Zhang Feng took the binoculars, looked at the Japanese fleet in the distance, and slowly said to Zhou Weixing, the captain of the Shanghai next to him: "This place is close to the Satsuma Domain, it's not good, this is the fleet of the Satsuma Domain, maybe Shimazu Nobuyoshi is on the ship." ā€

Zhou Weixing said: "We only have three ships, the other side has more than a dozen ships, and the number of ships on the other side is several times that of us. ā€

Zhang Feng said: "See, the other party has already puffed up its sails and is heading towards us, we can't do it if we don't fight, pass my order, prepare for battle, as soon as the other party enters the range of our cannon, open fire, remember, we must keep a distance, don't let the other party get close to us and board our ship." ā€

To prevent the other party from getting close to boarding his own ship, this is something that needs to be guarded against, if the other party boards the ship, it will be a close encounter, which will definitely be very unfavorable to Zhang Feng and others.

Zhou Weixing said loudly: "Lord General Soldier, the other party will definitely not be able to rely on you, you can rest assured." ā€

Zhang Feng nodded and added: "In this naval battle, our two ironclad ships are the main force, and the three thousand warships are supplemented. ā€

"Yes!"

Zhou Weixing replied loudly, and then immediately conveyed a series of orders, and the sailors quickly entered the combat positions and prepared for battle.

In the firing position, the sailors took the new rear-loading guns and quickly prepared, and on the gun positions one by one, the artillerymen were also preparing, loading ammunition, aiming far away, and preparing to open fire.

Two ironclad ships were in front and greeted them, and the 3,000-material warship was originally damaged a little because of yesterday's storm, and for safety reasons, it was not the main force in this naval battle, and this ship was in the back.

The three ships formed an inverted triangle, the two ironclad ships were side by side in front, and the three thousand warships were in the back, forming to meet the enemy, and the naval battle began immediately.

After Zhang Feng finished conveying the order, he inadvertently glanced at Princess Kunxing next to him, only to see the little girl looking at him with bright eyes, Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile, touched his chin, and thought in his heart, this little girl won't worship her brother.

Zhang Feng really guessed right, Princess Kunxing saw Zhang Feng conveying a series of orders with a serious face, Princess Kunxing said in her heart, this is so manly, if it is said in later generations, it will be cool.

Afar.

Shimazu Nobuyoshi has naturally discovered Zhang Feng's three ships, and Shimazu Nobuyoshi can see at a glance that this is exactly the enemy he has been thinking about day and night, because the kind of big ship without sails and emitting black smoke is too unique and can be seen at a glance.

"The Ming Dynasty sailor, dead and dead!"

Shimazu Nobuyoshi held his katana and looked at Zhang Feng's fleet in the distance, his eyes were red, and he shouted with all his might.

A Japanese samurai next to him reminded, "Your Excellency Shimazu, you see, their ship is very strange, and it is different from the kind of ship we encountered last time in Naha Bay. ā€

Naturally it's different, this is an ironclad ship, however, Shimazu Nobuyoshi doesn't care about these, according to Shimazu Nobuyoshi's logic, what if it's different, no matter how powerful this kind of ship is, there are only two or three.

Shimazu Nobuyoshi said: "They are dead and dead, we have fourteen large and small warships, several times as many as them, rush over and sink them!" ā€

With a large number of ships and an absolute advantage in numbers, Shimazu Nobuyoshi believed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so the Japanese warships formed and rushed over with full sails.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, from a few nautical miles away to only a few hundred meters now.

Shanghai Command Room.

Zhang Feng held the binoculars, he could see clearly, and even could see the figures on the other party's ships, and it could be seen that the other party was still that kind of old-fashioned warship, equipped with old-fashioned artillery, and each ship had rows of neat cannon holes on the side, and behind each cannon hole was a cast cannon.

"Fire the gun, give me a hard shot!"

Seeing that the other party had already entered the range of his cannons, Zhang Feng personally shouted loudly and gave the order to open the cannon.

As the order was given, the two 150-millimeter cannons on the bow deck of the ironclad ship Shanghai were the first to fire.

"Boom, boom!"

There were two loud bangs, and even the ironclad ship of Shanghai was trembling slightly, and two flowering bullets roared out of the barrel and flew towards the target.

It was a large Japanese warship, close to the standard of 2,000 yuan, and two shells hit the target, one hitting the bow of the Japanese warship, and the other hitting the side of the ship.

"Boom, boom!!"

The flowering shell hit the target and exploded violently, even if this was black powder, but it was sufficient, this was not a 70-mm gun, but a 150-mm gun, and the power was at least several times greater than the previous 70-mm gun.

Sawdust flies, gunsmoke fills the air, and the fire soars into the sky!

This is the power of a 150-millimeter flowering projectile, Zhang Feng can see clearly through the telescope, seeing this scene, Zhang Feng shouted: "Good, good fight, good fight!" ā€

As the Shanghai opened fire, the ironclad ship of Suzhou not far away also let out a roar, and one by one the shells flew towards the target, and then exploded violently.

The 150-mm main guns, coupled with the supplementary shelling of the 70-mm guns, almost in a few breaths, several Japanese warships were heavily damaged.

What is exaggerated is that a Japanese warship was hit by multiple 150-millimeter shells, and after the violent explosion, it was actually blown out of several large holes, the ship entered the water and tilted slowly, and many Japanese sailors on the warship jumped into the water in a panic.

"Okay, good, it's wonderful!"

Princess Kunxing was not afraid of the deafening cannon sound, shouting and screaming happily, while holding a monocular to look around.

"Hit, kill them, blow them up."

Princess Kunxing shouted, her face was happy and excited, her beautiful little face was even slightly red with excitement, Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile lightly when she saw this, and said in her heart, girl, this is a war.

"Boom!"

The Japanese warship finally had a chance to open fire, a shell hit the side of the Shanghai, it was very scary, obviously it was a flowering shell, but unfortunately, except for the louder sound, there was no bird use, after the explosion, the side of the Shanghai did not even leave much mark.
