Chapter 1234: Fierce Soldiers Kagoshima (7)
Zheng Haotian, now Zheng Haotian has penetrated into Satsuma Bay, but he has never found the shadow of the Satsuma Domain's sailors.
However, when they were looking for it, suddenly, a dense cannon fire sounded in the east!
Now above the sea, the sky is clear, there is no cloud, there is not even a little wind, the waves are very small, and the sound of artillery in the distance can be heard very clearly.
Zheng Haotian's face changed!
Well? The sound of dense artillery, and it is certain that it is definitely the sound of naval guns, such a dense sound of artillery, there is only one possibility, that is, the fleet of the Satsuma Domain, which is now engaged in a fierce battle, and the entire naval division is full of firepower, so that there can be such a dense sound of artillery, I am afraid that hundreds of artillery pieces are not shelling at the same time, right?
If the Satsuma Domain can mobilize so many artillery pieces for artillery bombardment, there is only one possibility, the fort! It's the sailors of the Satsuma Domain who are attacking the fort that the Ming army has just captured!
"Damn, I've finally got you!"
Zheng Haotian was a little anxious, the amphibious battalion and the infantry battalion together were only about a thousand people, and now the Satsuma Domain had definitely mobilized heavy troops to attack the fort, and then there was the help of the Satsuma Domain's sailors, it was conceivable that now the Inspector Division was facing what a powerful offensive they were facing......
"Order, the fleet turns around, goes east with all its might, full sails, and full speed!"
Zheng Haotian roared angrily.
The fleet rushed in the direction of the battery.
The two are almost thirty miles apart, and it took more than half an hour for the imperial fleet to reach the vicinity of the Osumi Peninsula inland sea, and sure enough, the sailors of the Satsuma Domain are launching an artillery bombardment in the southeast direction, and one shell after another roared into the sky, directly hitting the battery, the battery in the distance is now in flames, and the smoke is filled, it is obvious that the bombardment of most of the hour, the battery has not known how many batteries have been destroyed!
Zheng Haotian's heart sank suddenly, such a ferocious attack firepower, and there was also artillery attacking on the shore and in the northwest direction of the battery, and the Inspector had no artillery support, only carrying ten rockets, where could he deal with it?
"Fuck, herald, line up, engage on the side side, cover the offense! Give Lao Tzu a hard beating! ”
The fleets of the Imperial fleet moved quickly, and one shell after another was stuffed into the chamber, and then the guns let out an angry roar, and the shells whistled out, heading straight for the Satsuma Domain's naval division!
Today's Satsuma Domain Sailor has also discovered Zheng Haotian Your fleet, Matsushita Yuanji felt a headache, this Imperial Sailor is too powerful, better than his own Satsuma Domain Sailor, their artillery power is too great, the first two days of the battle, their fleet has not been restored yet, many warships have been extinguished, and the wounds of the warships have not had time to repair, just simply repaired, and then put into a new round of battles, If it was just to assist the infantry in the battle at sea and shell the battery, it didn't matter, anyway, Matsushita Yuanji was very familiar with the artillery deployment of the battery, and he could find the dead corner of the battery's artillery to hide, and then attack with all his might.
But now it's different, the fleet of the Ming Empire actually rushed over when they heard the sound, how can the current strength of the Satsuma Domain Navy be the opponent of the Ming fleet? I'm afraid that it won't take two hours, and the Satsuma Domain's sailors will have to stop fighting!
But withdraw now? If you withdraw now, the unlucky one is the infantry of Shimazu Kurye, there is a Ming fleet at sea to carry out the front, Shimazu Kulie is impossible to take the battery, at least, it is impossible in a short time, dozens of warships, with the artillery strength of the Ming fleet, it is enough to cover the range of eight miles, even if Shimazu Kulie leads the troops to detour to the east, the artillery of the Ming fleet can be reached!
"Someone, immediately take a boat to send a letter to the Erfan lord with a flag, just say that the Ming fleet is coming, our Satsuma Domain's sailors are not people's opponents, I will be here for half an hour at most, if within half an hour, the battle can be resolved, then continue to storm the fort, if you can't take the fort, then be ready to retreat immediately, and then find a good strategy!" Ordered all warships, prepare for battle, don't fight hard, guerrilla warfare, and fight with the opponent, we can't help Shimazu Kure, then at least we can't let the Ming fleet provide support to the Ming army on the battery, and entangle the opponent to me! ”
Matsushita Yuanji ordered.
However, on the battlefield, the Ming fleet is not something that Panasonic Yuanji can be entangled, even if Panasonic Yuanji is a veteran in the ocean, in the face of absolute strength, it is not enough to see, especially on the sea, in four directions, there is no obstruction, what do you want to ambush, outflank, etc., many strategies are not feasible, the fleet meets and fights, all you see is hard power!
Zheng Haotian didn't have so many scruples, this time the expedition to Dongying, the emperor had only one request, that is, to completely beat the Japanese slaves of Dongying to the point of obedience, telling them to kneel, they didn't dare to lie on their stomachs, told them to nod, they didn't dare to bow down, as for what ammunition is insufficient, there is no ammunition, then transfer it from the country, anyway, Dongying must be completely subdued!
Zheng Haotian gave an order, and the imperial fleet shot one after another, and one cannon after another aimed at the ships of the Satsuma Domain on the opposite side and began to attack wave after wave!
Beat!
Dozens of warships, the side engagement, each battleship can put in more than twenty guns, together, close to a thousand, as soon as it comes up, a salvo, saturation attack!
Nearly a thousand shells flew to the warship of the Satsuma clan with the roar of the artillery, and in the distance, Panasonic Yuanji was shocked, wiped, so many shells, these are all flowering shells, once hit, then his own warship is definitely nine deaths!
"Circumvent, circumvent! Battleships dodge shells! Get ready for a change! ”
Panasonic Yuanji roared desperately, and the warships moved with all their might, dodging the overwhelming shells, but with so many shells, even if they wanted to dodge, how could they all dodge?
One shell after another smashed on the warship of the Satsuma Domain's naval division, and the big ship was directly injured, and the small boat, even hit by several shells, fell into a desperate situation!
Of course, the artillery of the Satsuma Domain was not idle, and they fired back one after another, but in this way, the defense of the fort was safe, after all, without the suppression and persecution of artillery, even if Shimazu Hisauri was strong, in the face of muskets and rockets, he could only sigh and sigh......
