Escape? It was categorically impossible to escape, although Mu Chuan's order was also timely, and a group of Japanese sailors could be regarded as having the strength to eat, desperately raising the full sails, and rowing with all their might, in a vain attempt to escape, but in front of the Qing army fleet that was killing at high speed, all efforts were just in vain, unless the Japanese naval division ship could only grow wings, otherwise, the distance of more than 40 miles offshore was the last journey of the Japanese naval fleet.

"Encirclement and annihilation!"

In the face of the chaotic fleet of the Japanese Naval Division, the old thirteen did not say much, just spit out two words expressionlessly, and then handed over the specific command to the naval commander Sun Mingxu, no side, although the old thirteen also has some understanding of naval warfare, but in the specific tactical application, he knows that he is far less professional than Sun Mingxu, therefore, although he has thought about the addiction of annihilating the Japanese naval division, but in order to ensure that the victory is safe, the old thirteen still resisted the impulse and handed over the professional things to the professional people to do, as for himself, It was a relaxed expression standing on the tall bridge of the flagship "Zhenwu", watching this one-sided massacre with great interest.

"Order: The 1st and 2nd squadrons will turn to the left, the 3rd and 4th squadrons will outflank from the right, drive the thieves to the center, and the rest of the detachments will follow and pursue, and not a single thief ship shall be missed!"

Although Sun Mingxu has been in the Daqingshui Division for many years, and has personally built this powerful navy, he has also practiced various naval tactics on weekdays, but when it comes to going into battle, it is also the first time, to say that he is not nervous, it is definitely a lie, but he is nervous, and he gave the order, but he did not hesitate at all.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Sun Mingxu's battle order, the Qing army's main fleet of more than 20 warships immediately divided into three roads, the left two large warships equipped with four medium-sized warships, the right road is the same, the two fleets are full sails at full speed, like two arrows from the string of the rapid thrust forward, less than a stick of incense time, has blocked the two wings of the Japanese naval fleet, unceremoniously with naval guns to violently bombard the fleeing Japanese naval division, at the same time, Sun Mingxu's main force of the Chinese army unhurriedly hung behind the Japanese naval division, and did not fire, Just like that, he oppressed the Japanese sailors.

"Surrender, we surrender, don't fight anymore!"

In the face of the fierce shelling of the Qing fleet, the Japanese naval division that was squeezed into a ball was a group of good live targets, there was no room to dodge at all, the remaining nearly 100 warships had been sunk in just a moment, and most of the rest were injured, and there was no capital for the slightest resistance.

"Command: Don't take prisoners, sink them all!"

Seeing that the Japanese Navy Division had already surrendered with a white flag, the firepower of the Qing army detachments on the left and right immediately weakened, obviously planning to surrender, as soon as he saw this, the old thirteen's brows immediately furrowed, waved his hand unhappily, and gave the order coldly.

"Dashuai, this ......"

As the admiral of the navy, Sun Mingxu stood beside the old thirteen, and when he heard the old thirteen give such an order, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Execute the order!"

Lao Thirteen has never been a soft-hearted person, since he knows that in the case of a lone expedition, his own troops are insufficient, and it is impossible to waste his strength on the prisoners, and the almost dilapidated warships of the Japanese Navy Division are of no use to the Qing army, rather than wasting time to collect and surrender prisoners of war, it is better to clean up in one fell swoop, after all, the key thing in the battle of surprise attack is time, and the Qing army really has no reason to waste precious energy and time on such useless prisoners of war, there is no doubt Sun Mingxu's hesitant attitude was obviously not in line with the old thirteen, but the old thirteen did not get angry or explain, but just gave the order with an expressionless face.

"Wow!"

Seeing that the old thirteen was not good, Sun Mingxu didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly responded to the promise, and ordered the heralds around him to give orders to the ships, and then saw that the two wings of the fleet that had stopped fire began to bombard fiercely again, not only that, but there were also two sub-fleets in the main fleet that fought at high speed, skillfully drawing a semicircle on the sea, assuming the posture of the battle line, and greeting the Japanese naval division with a fierce artillery bombardment. In less than half an hour, they were all sent to the bottom of the sea by the Qing fleet as if they were targets.

"Order: The follow-up fleet will follow up immediately, leaving the fifth and sixth fleets to wait in place, and the rest of the fleets will immediately march at full speed to the port of Osaka!"

As soon as the fleet of the Japanese Navy Division was destroyed, Lao 13 immediately issued an order, except for the two detachments to wait for the troop transport fleet to follow up, he led the main fleet of more than 20 warships to rush straight to the port of Osaka, which had lost its covering power......

"Report, Lord Watanabe, the large fleet of the Shina people is here, and it is less than ten miles away from the port!"

In the past, at such times, Watanabe Ichiro was either a guest at a big banquet or was messing with the concubines, but today's Watanabe Ichiro is without such leisure and leisure, like an ant on a hot pot, in the lobby of the commission, just anxious, but saw a samurai with three small flags on his back hurriedly rushed in from the entrance of the hall, a few strides to the front of Watanabe Ichiro, knelt on the ground, and said in a panic.

"What, where is Mu Chuan Yuhe? Where is his fleet? Damn waste, let the people of China drive in so long, Lord Ben is going to kill that idiot! ”

As soon as he heard the samurai report like this, Watanabe Ichiro jumped up even though he jumped up, no side, just because this was the second bad news that Watanabe Ichiro received today, as for the first bad news, it was naturally an urgent report sent by Tokugawa Minglan, saying that the three-way coalition failed to attack the Wakayama Fort, and the reinforcements sent by Watanabe Ichiro were all broken, and even the power Matsudaira Maro, who was known as the first warrior in Osaka, was not spared, which had already made Watanabe Ichiro feel bad, and then I heard that the Qing army's large fleet was covered up, The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he jumped up regardless of the ground, grabbed the armor on the chest of the messenger samurai, and shouted in a rage.

"My lord, the little one didn't see Lord Muchuan's fleet, so he really didn't know where he was."

The samurai who came to report the news was obviously frightened by Watanabe Ichiro's madness, and his face turned pale in an instant, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only stammer.

"Waste, all of them are waste, come here, pass on the order of Lord Ben, all the samurai gather, go to the city to defend!"

Seeing that he couldn't ask what the name of the samurai was, although Watanabe Ichiro was very annoyed, he didn't have the slightest way to think about it, so he could only push the samurai to the ground in anger, picked up the katana that was resting on the side, and rushed out of the office with a roar......

Osaka City is built by the sea, but its city is not built on the seaside, but there is still a short distance from the wharf, its frontmost east gate is about 300 steps away from the wharf, there is a stone avenue connected with the wharf, on the east side of the wharf is a warehouse, there are more than a dozen warehouses, the "Eight Banners Firm" warehouse that was robbed at the beginning is the largest of the three, on the occasion of the Qing fleet, the wharf that should have been bustling has long been empty, as for the east gate of Osaka City is tightly closed, on the city wall, Hundreds of samurai swords in their hands, a group of heavily guarded.

When the main fleet of the Qing army rushed to the sea near the Osaka pier, it did not get close to the pier, nor did it rush to put down the boat and land on the beach, but just swam on the sea, and the huge hull rows of black holes of the guns were obliquely aimed at Osaka Castle, and the scene could be described as extremely terrifying, so that all the Osaka samurai on guard at the head of the city were terrified.

"General Sun, can our warship guns reach the city wall?"

On the tall bridge of the "Zhenwu", the old thirteen took a good time to observe the defense facilities of Osaka Castle, and after a long time, he asked without looking back.

"If you go back to Dashuai, it's enough, but it's a little farther away, and the hit rate may not be guaranteed."

Sun Mingxu silently calculated the distance, and then cautiously gave an answer.

"Don't pay attention to the hit rate, cover the bombardment, and give the Japanese slaves a sound first!"

At this time, it was already dusk, which was not suitable for landing on the beach, and the follow-up troop transport fleet had not yet arrived, so the old thirteen did not plan to launch a rapid attack overnight, but he did not intend to make the Japanese slaves feel better, so he waved his hand and gave the order in an unquestionable tone.

"Wow!"

Since the old thirteen had already given the order, Sun Mingxu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly responded, and then ordered one after another to divide the Qing fleet into three teams and equip them in battle lines.

"The commander has an order: all ships fire a salvo, give the Japanese slaves a sound!"

After the fleets were adjusted in place, Sun Mingxu did not hesitate to give the battle order, in an instant, the first row of seven battleships began to shoot at the same time, nearly two hundred naval guns fired in turn, with a loud bang, one after another huge cannonballs rose into the air, whistling towards the direction of Osaka City, at the same time, the battleships that had finished shooting a round of fire in order to exit the firing area, and the second fleet drove in to take over, and it was also a burst of artillery fire, and the thunderous shelling sound was always loud and non-stop......
