epydz (although Tokugawa Ieyasu purged the ninja group of Koga before his death, there are still ninja troops of the Hattori clan in the shogunate army, and the fortune of selling Tessie goods in the Holland for many years, the telescope telescope is also common in RIBEN, so the shogunate quickly knew that the Xia army division was divided Although RI himself did most of his things without deep thought, but after all, there are still some smart people, and besides, this matter can also be thought out of the movements of the Xia army with his ass, since this is the case, a big war is inevitable

On the 15th day of July of that year, that is, in the early morning of the third day after the expiration of the Natsu ultimatum, the shogunate army took 21 medium-sized customs ships collected from the private sector as the lead, and another 22 large Ataka ships and more than 200 small early fishing boats as the backbone, and vigorously attacked the Natsu fleet anchored in Zhongyang, Edo Bay."

According to Natsukata's prior understanding, in Rihon, a Sekibun ship can carry about fifty or sixty members, including sailors, an Ataka ship can carry nearly 200 people at full capacity, and as for Kohayafune, each ship has a maximum of three or five people, so it is a service, and the shogunate has sent a total of more than 6,000 troops, which is already the largest military operation in Rihonmoto after the Battle of Shimabara

Although the strength of the RI army was huge, the sailors of the cao ships were not soldiers, nor were they regular sailors, not to mention the lack of generals who could coordinate and command the shogunate, so it took a great deal of time to drive the ships out and assemble them from the Edogawa, Tama River, Tsurumi River, Arakawa and other rivers, and the shogunate army's intentions were exposed

What is even more tragic is that those samurai ronin, who did not have much experience in boating, were seasick and vomited in the bumps and shaking for two or three hours, and before the battle began, the combat effectiveness of the RI army had been weakened to an extremely sad Cheng DΓΉ

Despite this, the shogunate army also carried out a gang jumping operation and pressed Xia Fang with a manpower advantage, but how could this be

At the end of the day, the Xia Army's naval division, which saw that the Ri army had finally assembled, finally made a move, and the six military transport ships slowly retreated in the direction of the Uraga waterway under the escort of two third-class cruise ships, and the morale of the Ri army who observed the movement of the Xia army was greatly boosted, and in the hysterical cheers, the boats added one after another, and as a result, the disciples disrupted their own formation

Of course, the shogunate army was still relatively quick to lead the ships, and within half an hour, not only broke away from the chaotic main team early, but also pulled the rest of their ships down a considerable distance

Seeing that the Xia army fleet was getting closer and closer, the weak-footed warrior ronins on the ship fought hard, drew their swords and spears one by one, and some even drew out the old iron cannons

At this time, the remaining fleet of the Xia army began to slowly adjust its formation, with the flagship and another cruiser as the center, two first-class cruisers and four third-class cruisers lined up, and four notification ships swam at both ends, so as to screen the unarmed bow and stern of the main battleship

When the distance between the two sides was still about fifty feet, there was a muffled thunderous roar, and then the whole ship opened fire in turn, like a volcanic eruption, and before the shogunate troops on the ship could react, the ships also opened fire one after another, and immediately set off a raging wave on the sea

The follow-up RI army team was dumbfounded to observe the columns of water on the sea and the squeaky collapse of the Guan fleet, the former frenzied atmosphere suddenly disappeared, the original discomfort once again came to everyone's hearts, and the ship couldn't help but slow down, only in view of the fact that the general in command of the battle did not give an order, there was no phenomenon of turning around and escaping

The sea breeze quickly dispersed the gunpowder clouds that shrouded the Xia Fang fleet, and what appeared in front of Gong Tian and the others was an extremely miserable scene: eight of the twenty-one ships had been broken into two sections, and one of them had been turned over entirely, and I don't know if it was overturned by the waves stirred up by the cannonballs

There were still twelve ships, and this result did not seem to satisfy Gong Tian, so the bombardment began again, this time, neither the famous ronin swordsman nor the famous shogunate could escape the curse of heaven after that, and only the extremely lucky could hold a few wooden structures and struggle to survive on the sea

What to do? The leading fleet has been cleanly cleaned up by the opponent, and now it is their turn to face the enemy's terrifying moment, how should they deal with it? Before the frightened and paralyzed shogunate could figure it out, they saw that the Huaxia sailors had already set sail and moved, and eight of the smaller third-class cruisers and notification ships pounced on them with incredible speed, and the remaining four large and astonishing warships also came to meet them with the speed of the Yuanguan ships

"Catch up!" There were also some brave ronins urging the sailors who drove the boats, but unexpectedly, the Huaxia sailors who pounced on both sides did not rush straight to the RI army ship group, but went around the back of the RI army on the left and right, "This is?" Bastard, Xia Kou wants to encircle and annihilate us" There are warriors who know the art of war, and the ronin shouts "Lean up, we have a way to live, Zheng Zhi, I am Zheng Kezang!" ”

However, the Ataka ship that the shogunate hastily collected turned out to be just an offshore cargo ship for transportation, and although the load was large, the maneuverability was very poor, and some turned around and some rushed forward, so the formation was confused again, and even a small morning boat on the side was accidentally overturned in a U-turn, and the scene was chaotic for a while

At this time, the outflanked Huaxia sailors showed their fangs again, and the sound of cannons announced the overture to the complete destruction of the shogunate's water forces, although it was impossible to accurately destroy an enemy ship with each cannon, but the shogunate
