Mori Ryuzo, with more than 100 Japanese warships that had been mobilized, came to the vicinity of Osaka in a majestic manner, originally planning to kill these foreigners at once.

However, when the foreign warship appeared from the sea, the Mori Ryuzo's heart immediately went cold.

The oversized hull of the battleship, as well as the dense cannon ports on the side of the battleship, made it clear to Maori Ryuzo that he had encountered a difficult opponent to deal with.

Maori had come into contact with the Nanban, and as a general of the navy, he also knew very well how powerful the Nanbanian warships were, especially their artillery.

And these enemy warships look even more sophisticated and fierce than those of the Southern Barbarians. The artillery also seems to be more powerful, and it seems that it has encountered a hard bone.

However, this is an opportunity to change his fate, and he can't just give it up so easily.

Otherwise, the Maori family would have sunk and there would be no hope in sight.

Besides, their own warships are a little more than twice as many as the opponent's, and they have a great advantage in numbers.

Therefore, it is not that he has no strength to fight.

Whether it will work or not, it will take a fight to find out.

In the end, he didn't understand the warships of the Song Empire, and Mao Li Longzao gave the order to attack.

After receiving orders from Mori Ryuzo, the Japanese navy began to rush towards the Imperial fleet.

In this era, the tactics of the Japanese naval army were still very backward.

They also now use tactics such as broadside combat, where the battleship is close to the enemy ship and then locks onto the enemy's ship, and then places the deck for the soldiers to land in hand-to-hand combat.

I have to say that the naval tactics of the Japanese people, not to mention the Song Empire, are much backward even compared to the pirates on the eastern coast.

Know the way. Even Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong usually start artillery battles first and then use broadside battles.

However, it is not surprising to see what virtue the warships of the Japanese navy are, and why they use such backward tactics.

Although it seems that it is very large and has a lot of troops, this kind of sea ship is okay in the near sea, and it is completely impossible to sail in the open sea.

Moreover, such a battleship is basically built for the purpose of fighting and broadside battles, and the guns on the battleship are just the same thing. Nothing does much.

The hull of the ship was inlaid with some copper skin to increase the ship's defense and arrows.

This is the most famous 'ironclad ship' in the Wa Kingdom.

This kind of battleship, if Zhao Hongyu saw it, he would definitely laugh at it.

However, this kind of warship used by the Japanese navy can still scare many people.

At least, Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong did not dare to provoke the naval army of the Japanese State.

Although Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong learned the artillery tactics of the Westerners, this thing was too costly.

In particular, the acquisition of artillery. More silver is spent.

Every time a cannon is fired, it's all white silver.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong actually use backward tactics such as broadside battles most of the time.

Although this tactic is backward. But on the eastern side of the sea, it is actually very useful.

Who let the warships of the East, most of them not use artillery much.

And although the Westerners' warships are powerful, this is not their home field.

Then he kittens two or three battleships. When encountering the Oriental pirates who dispatched thousands of warships at one time, they could only rest their work.

Plus they are on the eastern side, and there is one less shell for one shot. After the last shells, they lost their combat effectiveness.

In such a situation, Westerners can only be honestly bullied in the East.

Mori Ryuzo also thinks that these foreigners will definitely encounter such a situation when they come.

Besides, didn't these foreigners also shell Osaka's commercial town?

They shelled the commercial town of Osaka, didn't they consume shells?

To be able to destroy Osaka Commercial Town, how many shells will it take?

Therefore, Maori Ryuzo judged that his enemy would definitely not have many shells in his artillery now.

In such a situation, in fact, you can still fight the other party.

Moreover, the ironclad ship under his command is about the same height as the opponent's battleship.

The soldiers can easily land on it, as long as the soldiers rush up, the only thing waiting for the other side is to fail.

But when he was still far away, he turned the ship sideways and opened fire on himself.

As you can imagine, more than 50 warships are lying across the sea, which is also very spectacular.

The Song Empire's revised Dutch commercial war dual-purpose warships had a total of more than 90 artillery pieces.

Removing the two guns in the bow and stern, there were more than forty guns on each side of the battleship.

More than 50 warships came sideways, and a salvo was more than 2,000 shells.

Besides, the casting skills of these cannons are ahead of the ages of this era.

In terms of range, the artillery on the European warships could not shoot such a long distance.

Therefore, before Maori Long could build their warship and rush to Zhao Hongyu and them, they were subjected to heavy shelling.

However, because the distance was too far, on the other hand, the Maori dragon built their battleship artillery, but they could not hit each other at all.

Although under the orders of Mori Ryuzo, the Japanese naval forces also fired back sporadically, but half of the distance of their shells fell into the sea.

You must know that these cannons were purchased from the Southern Barbarians, that is, the Westerners, and they are very sophisticated artillery.

But the firing distance of this kind of artillery is actually only half of the opponent's, or even less than that.

I'm going to go.

What the hell is going on, it's not scientific at all, is it?

In one salvo, more than 2,000 shells fell, which was simply a rain of bullets.

And the artillery accuracy of the Imperial Fleet was also very high, and under a single salvo, five or six warships of the Japanese Navy were destroyed.

It's just a salvo.

If you come a few more times, will the Japanese still have a water army?

This battle is a big fart!

After Maori Ryuzo found out that five or six battleships had been sunk, his heart immediately began to drip blood, and he couldn't do it anymore.

Alas, the battle has already begun. It's impossible to back down easily.

In particular, naval warfare is different from land warfare, where retreat often represents total annihilation.

It is impossible for the enemy to let go of such a good opportunity, they will completely pursue themselves and sink them one by one.

Therefore, it is easy to retreat in a naval battle, even if it is a complete destruction of the battleship.

Besides, this is just the beginning of the battle, and no one knows the final outcome.

Therefore, Mori Ryuzo ordered the warships to start moving at full speed. Strive to get close to the enemy and engage in broadside combat.

In his opinion, as long as he can get close to the enemy, then the victory or defeat is a matter of two things.

And the guns of the Imperial warships also left a deep impression on the Maori Dragon.

After such a salvo, he didn't know how powerful the artillery of the Imperial Fleet was.

Long range!

There are many types of shells.

This is incomparable to their own side.

Therefore, you can't fight with each other.

Strictly speaking, Maori Ryuzao is actually a very good naval general.

After an artillery bombardment by the Imperial fleet, he immediately analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both the enemy and the enemy.

Generals are actually very good at doing their part.

It's just that. What the Maori dragon made him unclear was that these enemies he encountered were not ordinary enemies at all.

Therefore, he was doomed to a tragic end.

No matter how hard he tries. Is it still possible to fight cheaters?

"Everyone work hard, the enemy can't have so many shells, everyone must not be afraid. They shelled the commercial town of Osaka, and certainly did not use less artillery. And they can't have supplies here, I imagine how many times they can't have been shelled like that just now. ”

Mori Ryuzo was afraid that the adults would be frightened by the enemy's shelling.

So. He wasted no time in cheering everyone on and analyzing the benefits and losses.

Made, very smart.

Moreover, in the sixteenth century, the people who were able to serve as sailors, whether they were soldiers or generals, were very brave and fierce people.

This is the same in Europe and in the East.

It is important to know that in the 16th century, the life of the naval soldiers at sea was not as easy as that of later generations.

Their living conditions are very harsh and the conditions are very poor.

If you are not an ordinary person with a strong heart and endurance, you will not be able to be a water army.

Moreover, if there is a battle in the navy, it basically takes place at sea.

And the battle at sea is not like a battle on land.

If you lose the battle on the road, you can run.

But in the battle at sea, you can't run.

For example, if you fall overboard, then it is basically equivalent to saying that you are dead.

Because the battle at sea is not as quick as the battle on the road.

Many times, battles at sea take several days at a time.

Who cares if you fall overboard.

And in battles at sea, injuries are also a big problem.

Because the supplies on the ship were limited, they were generally loaded with food and weapons.

Medicine is a luxury, and even if it does, it won't be used by ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, the soldiers of the navy army will never be able to do it if they still have super endurance.

If it was a land battle, not to mention anything else, the round of shelling just now was basically the army soldiers, and then there would be no morale.

However, on the other hand, the soldiers of the Navy Army, although their faces were a little pale, they still stood firmly at their posts and did not have much emotional fluctuations.

From this point of view alone, the naval army is much stronger than the soldiers of the army in terms of psychological quality.

With the order of the Maori Ryuzo, the herald waved two small Japanese gourd fans back and forth on the top of the ship, and many oars stretched out from the surrounding warships and under the flagship.

Dare to love, this kind of Japanese-style ironclad ship accelerates, and you still need to use oars...... (To be continued......)
