In fact, it was a bit risky to check the bolt, and only an hour after the soldiers of the amphibious battalion set off, the fleet began to sail in the direction of Okishima. If the assault of the amphibious battalion fails, the Ming fleet will be greeted by an overwhelming array of shells near Okishima.

Fortunately, He Bingfeng did not disappoint him, the two lighthouses on Oki Island and Jidao were all successfully solved, and an artillery position was also successfully dismantled at the same time, and now this isthmus only leaves the Dongying garrison of Awaji Island and Jishi Mountain on both sides, as long as they are not alarmed, they can pass through the isthmus smoothly.

When the Ming fleet came to Okishima, it was almost an hour before it was light, enough for a large army to cross this strait, and now the sky was still dark, and it was a full twenty miles away from the army on Awaji Island, so it was completely possible to avoid the surveillance of the Toei army and rush into Osaka Bay.

One after another, the battleships rushed forward at full speed, rushing forward quickly, and when the east was just showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, the fleet had already rushed through the isthmus and entered Osaka Bay.

Cha Zhu let out a long breath, and finally killed in, now, it's time for Tokugawa Iemitsu to be scared, haha!

"Order, the fleet is all moving in the direction of Kobe, let's take Kobe first, and then march to Osaka!"

The main force of the Daming fleet rushed down in the direction of Kobe, as the color has been brightened today, Osaka Bay began to be lively, and the merchant ships continued to swim back and forth, seeing the momentum of the Daming fleet, one by one as if they had met the plague god, panicked to dodge, and rushed towards the outside of Osaka Bay.

It's going to be a war, it's going to be a war again, and they have already received the news that the Ming army may attack Osaka, but with a little luck, they still stay in Osaka Bay and carry out trade, and now they are all panicking, isn't it that the Tokugawa shogun has deployed heavy troops on Awaji Island and Ishiyama? Dozens of artillery pieces alone were deployed to prevent the Ming fleet from entering, why did they rush over without the slightest movement?

Yes, in order to block the enemy, Tokugawa Iemitsu concentrated all the artillery that could be used in each feudal town on Awaji Island and Mt. Ishishi, there were sixty or seventy guns, although most of them were general cannons and Franky cannons, but they couldn't stand up to the many cannons, and the Ming fleet was lucky enough to hide from the sky and sea, first cleaned up the eyes of the Tokugawa deployed on Oki Island and Jijima, and then swaggered across the isthmus and directly entered it!

As soon as it entered the afternoon, the Ming fleet had already rushed to Kobe Bay, and immediately launched an attack on Kobe Bay!

More than 100 warships spread out in the waters of Kobe Bay, using their side guns to launch a fierce attack on the Kobe Bay battery!

In an instant, more than 500 shells were fired towards the Kobe Bay Battery! In an instant, the fort fell into a sea of fire, and the power of the flowering shell was too great, blasting the fort into rubble and flying wildly, and one by one the Dongying artillery was directly swept into the sky!

On the fort, the three artillery battalions had already received the news that the Ming fleet was coming, and the Japanese general Nanji Inada got the news, and he was shocked and angry, the Ming fleet had come in? How can it be? Osaka Bay Haikou, where fifty or sixty artillery pieces were deployed, this idea was a joint offer to the Tokugawa shogun with the Daimyo Hojo of the Sayama Domain, as long as the Ming fleet appeared on the south side of Okishima, it would be discovered by the sentries on the lighthouse, and only one cannon was needed, and the Dongying army of Awaji Island, Oki Island, and even the Dongying army of Mt. Ishiyama would get the news and completely block the entire isthmus, even if the Ming fleet was powerful, with the narrowness of the isthmus, the Ming warships would not be able to rush over!

Now that there is not the slightest movement ahead, how can it be possible for the Ming fleet to rush in? It's impossible! Did these warships fly in with wings?

However, this is true, one person said he didn't believe it, two people said he didn't believe it, and now at least six or seven people on merchant ships ran up to the fort to report to themselves the movements of the Ming fleet, how can there be a fake?

Inada Nanji was directly stunned, and immediately ordered someone to send a message to the Tokugawa shogun quickly, and the entire battery entered the rhythm of emergency combat preparation, and more than 20 artillery pieces were all set up, ready to enter the battle.

In the view of Inada Langji, at least, his own battery can also support one to two days, after all, there are more than 20 artillery pieces, the strength of the three artillery battalions is more than 1,500 people, and under the battery, there are still 10,000 troops stationed, and there are 20,000 troops who can support the Kobe battery at any time, and 30,000 troops plus the battery, at least three or five days, the Ming army cannot complete the landing.

To the surprise of Daotian Langer, only two waves of offensives, the Ming fleet's flowering artillery stunned the artillery battalion on the battery, and the first shot was more than 500 shells, and the artillery on the battery had just been sent into the chamber to prepare for return fire, and the second wave of attack of the Ming fleet arrived, and it was another five or six hundred shells! Two waves of saturation attacks have almost paralyzed the fort!

Thousands of shells, a battery, a radius of only a few tens of zhang, subjected to thousands of shells bombardment, the artillery on the battery is not too damaged, but the artillery can not withstand it, two waves of attacks, at least hundreds of artillery casualties, and even some of the shells are directly destroyed!

"Yaga! Fight back, fight back, fight back with all your might! Be sure to stop the Ming fleet from approaching! ”

Inada Langji was frightened and angry, frantically preventing the Dongying artillery on the fort from firing back, however, more than 20 artillery pieces were besieged by more than 100 warships, it seemed too small, even if it was a day and a night, the battery could only fire thousands of shells, with the current hit rate of the battery's artillery, I am afraid that it is not enough for one battleship to shoot a shot, how can it hit the Ming fleet hard?

The shells of the Ming fleet are still bombarding the batteries frantically, and now the power of Tagawa Nanazaemon has been destroyed, and the sea channel leading to the East Ocean has been completely opened, and the Ming fleet no longer has the risk of ammunition shortage, so what are you afraid of? Naturally, there is no need to feel sorry for the shells.

Cha's strategy is very clear, that is, to use the most powerful firepower to destroy the Kobe Fort in the shortest possible time, destroy the morale and will of all the soldiers in Kobe, and let them understand that the great Ming Huang Huang Tianwei is inviolable!

In half a day, the Ming fleet carried out dozens of waves of shooting, and the entire Kobe battery was directly wiped out in the midst of the explosions in turns, and twenty artillery pieces were destroyed by the Ming army! Of the three artillery battalions, there are now less than 500 artillery men who can stand, and more than two-thirds of the casualties are inflicted!

The fall of Kobe is inevitable!
