I don't know who shouted it, but I heard a rolling sound, and many people on the boat were shouting after it.

Dozens of huge kites were branded with new flags, and dozens of super delphiniums on the periphery sped away in all directions.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the general of the Wa Kingdom, did not know about the war.

The most typical case of the Wa Kingdom is the following, and this time is no exception.

Yu Qian was drawing circles on the chart, he didn't understand, he didn't understand. Why are there so many small boats that the Japanese have come to surround them, and can this little broken ship stop the huge Great White Shark? Even if they don't use weapons, they just watch. But in any case, the Japanese still attacked.

Shira-Ming Crane stood on the roof deck of the highest floor of the Daifuku ship, and the tip of Zhan Lu's sword stood downwards in front of Shira-Ming Crane.

"I can't understand the naval battles of the Japanese people." Bai Minghe turned around and asked Chen Ada, who was behind him: "What do you think, why did they send a hundred and ten single-sailing boats over, they should use superior forces to attack, and it is the best policy to defeat my ship." ”

Chen Adaa shook his head, he was also a little incomprehensible.

The Japanese navy was not able to produce so many ships in one family, thousands of ships came from the thirteen daimyos, as well as the fleet of the shogun's palace, they had a unified command staff, but there was no unified command.

Some of the ships wanted to pick up the ingots and the silver, and some of them thought they had won and that the Ming had fled.

Only the people of the General's Mansion understood that only the killing of the white crane could be regarded as the end of this naval battle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ming people have thrown down only iron and silver. The big boat had such a deep draft that it pulled a boatload of gold. For the sake of gold, kill and go forward. "The captain of the General's Mansion kept passing on such orders everywhere.

Finally, the fleet of the Japanese began to formally assemble and quickly chased after the white crane.

It was getting dark, and it was impossible to fight a naval battle at night, because it was easy to lose sight of the other party's ship and injure one's own people by mistake. Therefore, the battle plan of the Japanese people was to surround the fleet of Shirana Crane before dark.

If you look down from above, the fleet of the Japanese seems to have open arms. In the nearly 100 square kilometers of the sea area of Fangyuan, the ships of the white crane were surrounded layer by layer.

"Games. Here we go! The white crane took Zhan Lu back from the scabbard and turned to walk towards the ship's cabin.

Chen Ah shouted: "Circle formation, resist the enemy!" ”

The ships guarding the white cranes were ten warships of 2,000 materials, and at this time they began to form a circle around the Great White Shark. Outer armor began to be mounted on the outside. Push all the artillery fire to the outside. For the convenience of counterweights. The steel ingots brought on the ship were transferred to the inside, and the whole ship was anchored, and there was no intention of moving it again.

The Nanking sailors at the port of Naha began to rush north. Once the signal was received, their mission was to blockade the eastern side of the sea area on the later Okinerabu Island.

"Guogong, the flagship is coming, Zhan Lu is out of the sheath!"

Xu Chengzong, who personally led the team, was stunned for a moment, this order was a little strange, but after thinking about it, he could understand that it was the young man Bai Minghe who pulled out his sword and shouted excitedly to start a war, and then the following passed became like this. Although the white crane is arrogant, it is not so out of tune.

"Pass the word, Zhan Lu out of the sheath!" Xu Chengzong repeated a sentence and continued to order: "It is estimated that tomorrow dawn will be a decisive battle, let all the gunners clean up the cannon boring, count the gunpowder, and polish the shells." ”

Why should the shells be polished, this kind of pig iron balls should also be oiled, so as to reduce the friction on the gun chamber.

To the east of the sea, about a hundred miles away from the white crane, Lei Jingtian from the Guangdong Navy was sharpening his sword, naked in the moonlight, sitting on the deck and sharpening his war knife again and again.

The adjutant really couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said: "Tomorrow morning, according to the orders from above, let us fire in turns with artillery, and we are not allowed to fight closely." As Lord Xiaobai said, the future naval battle will be a war of cannons, and there is almost no possibility for the two ships to fight with knives by broadside. ”

"Lao Tzu, I like to sharpen knives!" Lei shook the sky and cursed.

Looking at the war knife in his hand, Lei Jingtian thought about it and stuffed the knife to the adjutant, kicked aside a soldier on the deck who was wiping the chamber of the gun, grabbed the chamber and brushed it again and again, and brushed the chamber very powerfully.

The adjutant signaled that the soldiers could flash people, and the cannon belonged to the general.

"It's been a long time since there's been a war." Thunder suddenly stopped and sighed.

Fighting! Many people are sighing that Blue Ocean is also sitting on his flagship, playing with a string of shells in one hand and an unlit cigar in the other.

"General, the order given above is not accurate. It only said that it was encircled and started a war, but it did not say who fired the first shot. Do we wait for the big ship to start fighting before we start, or do we fire first according to tactics? ”

Good question, Blue Ocean didn't realize this either, who fired the first shot is definitely particular.

"It stands to reason that it should be the main flagship at the beginning. Tactically speaking, we have completed the work of copying the tail, and firing the cannon is to tell everyone that they can go to war. Therefore, the team that arranged to be responsible for the raid was once behind the opponent, and there was no first shot, and all of them fired three rounds in a salvo. ”

"That's ...... up there"

"Xiaobai is not a person who cares about such trivial things, if he can't teach the Japanese people a hard lesson, it is estimated that he will scold people."

Daming's ship sharpened its knives, and both up and down were looking forward to the moment when the sun rose.

But the Japanese people were singing, and they all saw that the big ship of the white crane was surrounded by them, and they only thought that they would rush up to kill it in the morning, and rob the silver and the women.

The sky finally dawned, and a touch of white appeared in the east.

"Kill, give!" The real main force of the Japanese fleet, the Da'an house, is fifteen zhang long. With only a huge sail and nearly a hundred oars, the speed is much slower than the real speed of the great white shark, and the white crane really doubts that this thing dares to come into the sea, it is purely a flat-bottomed boat.

Forty Da'an house boats, the warehouse doors are open.

Bai Minghe's heart suddenly lifted, and they were thinking about whether the layer of steel armor they had temporarily attached to those warships could withstand the enemy's shelling, and it would not be good to hurt themselves.

The soldiers on this side of the ship were not afraid at all, and began to skillfully charge and reload, waiting for the order to open the cannon.

Suddenly, countless thin ...... stretched out from the Da'an Mansion ship Musket barrels!

The white crane almost fell from the top floor of the ship: "What is that?" Is it a fucking musket? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, it's a musket, but it's a very old musket. It should have been smuggled from our Ming Dynasty before, and now we don't use the musket anymore. A guard said.

"What kind of battle is this, let a group of kittens come and besiege the tiger. Command the ships, artillery control zhì. Each ship was allowed fifteen shots in total, which would give the forty slow snail-like boats an allocation to see who sank the most. "The white crane gave a strange order.

But an order is an order, and the order soon spreads to the ten warships surrounding the Great White Shark.

A 2,000-gauge battleship has a full number of 16 guns on one side, plus the bow and stern guns, and a maximum salvo of 18 guns on one side can be fired.

The Japanese opened fire first, and the salvo of hundreds of muskets from forty boats was also very spectacular.

The men on this side of the ship were hiding behind their armor, and they heard the occasional sound of lead bullets hitting the steel plates.

"Ready, gun emplacements!" As a red flag waved down vigorously, the Ming warship opened fire. A salvo of 150 shells made the sawdust fly all over the Wajima Ataka ship, but only two of them began to sink because the shells fell on the waterline, and the rest only heard screams, but there was no fire.

Daming's cannonballs are really pig iron bullets, which can be broken and injured, but there is no way to make them burn.

The Japanese were a little flustered, they couldn't imagine what a weapon with such a huge impact was, they only heard a loud noise, saw the smoke of gunpowder, and then the Sea Overlord class Da'an Mansion they were proud of was seriously injured, and any attack could completely penetrate their ship.

Although there were no fires, dozens of casualties were lost to each boat, and at least a third of the boats were destroyed above the water.

The musketeers were frightened, the oarsmen lost their command, and they let the ship spin in place with only the thought of fleeing for their lives. The two Ataka boats were about to sink and many people jumped into the sea to escape for their lives.

And many twenty-meter-sized ships on the periphery that were preparing to attack stopped and were in disarray.

After seeing this ruining power, they felt afraid.

"Your Excellency, please give the order!" Chen Adaa asked Bai Minghe on the side.

Bai Minghe stared at the sea in a daze, this situation is too different from the big battle he imagined, a round of shelling of the other party will be chaotic, according to the documentary he has seen, at this time it should be to rush to the bombardment, and then occupy the upper hand, with the advantage of numbers for swimming.

"Wait!" It took Bai Minghe half a day to spit out such a word.

Wait! This is an order, and stopping casually during a big war will affect morale.

Seeing that Chen Adaa didn't understand, Bai Minghe explained:

"Don't rush, just delay the time. To see if they would come to the rescue of these people, order the gun emplacements to reload. Trebuchet ready, incendiary bomb ready, bed crossbow ready, bow ready ready! Shirana continued to order, he had no intention of getting his people into a hard fight, especially hand-to-hand combat.

As he spoke, the artillery in all directions rose and fell, but there was only one salvo on the side of the white crane.

Nearly 500 warships of the regular army of the Daming Navy Division surrounded and suppressed the 1,000 ships that were messily put together on the Wa Island, and the most surprising thing for Bai Minghe was that the entire Wa fleet did not have a single artillery.

"They, why don't they have artillery?" A hundred white-named cranes do not understand.

"My lord, how can there be artillery ...... the Japanese people?" Chen Ada's rhetorical question seemed to be a fool. (To be continued......)
