Chapter 1280: Decisive Battle of Osaka Bay (1)

Although Matsudaira Nobutsuna's idea is not a good idea, where can I find it now?

Tokugawa Iemitsu now regrets his toothache, why did he listen to the advice of Inada Nanji and Hojo Ichi, and deploy all the dozens of artillery pieces to the south? With an army of twenty or thirty thousand, now the Ming fleet has easily broken through, but most of their artillery is concentrated in the south, this infantry is full of strength, and can return to Osaka in a short time to participate in the battle, but the artillery is not good, once the mountain road in Osaka Bay is rugged and difficult, even if it is only more than a hundred miles away, it is enough for the artillery to walk for seven or eight days, and after seven or eight days, the daylily is afraid that it has been cooled, and the most important thing is that the artillery of the stone mountain can still be used, But the artillery on Awaji Island is completely abolished, and the entire Osaka Bay is under the control of the Ming fleet, and the ships transport the artillery back, which is the act of playing with fire and self-immolation!

"Immediately sent an order to Hojo Ichito and Inada Nanji in Kobe, ordering them to lead a large army to retreat in the direction of Osaka, withdraw their forces to the west side of the Tenkayama Fort, and prepare for defense; Order, mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized in Osaka to concentrate near the Tenkayama Fort, and give an order to the Matsudaira messenger in the direction of Mt. Tsugashi, ordering him to go north at full speed at all costs! This damn bastard, the position of the Lord of Fan has been in place for a long time, and he doesn't even have the least vigilance, and he actually let the Ming army cross the Awaji Island Isthmus with such fanfare, damn it, damn it! ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu gave the order again, and the entire army of Osaka Bay was all in action, this Kansai Plain was originally the direct territory of the Tokugawa family, and all the daimyo were retainers of the Tokugawa family, and they have been loyal to the Tokugawa family for more than one or two hundred years.

Kobe Bay, it took a whole night, 50,000 cavalry elites, together with artillery all landed in Kobe Bay, Cha Bolt long breathed a sigh of relief, now the army has all landed, artillery alone has concentrated four artillery battalions, more than sixty heavy guns, this time, enough to make Tokugawa Iemitsu defeated!

"Herald!"

Just as he was about to convey the order, Qin Mufeng hurriedly walked over.

"Lao Cha, the situation is a little wrong, all the garrisons in Kobe Bay have retreated, and now the entire Kobe Bay is empty, it is completely empty!"

Qin Mufeng wondered.

Cha Zhu sneered: "What's so strange? The main forces of our fleet are all concentrated in Kobe Bay, and if we want to stop our advance by relying on just one battery and 20,000 troops, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg! They want to maintain a glimmer of hope of victory, and only by gathering heavy forces can they confront us! I'm afraid that these troops have all withdrawn to Osaka, and in Osaka, they have an even more powerful battery! The order went down, ordering Su Yutao to lead the left wing battalion to patrol Osaka Bay, prohibiting all ships from marching north, and those who did not listen to the command would be sunk immediately, and the Dongying army in the south would never be allowed to rush through Osaka Bay to help Osaka! The rest of the ships are all moving towards the east, heading straight for the Osaka battery, launching an attack on the Osaka battery, and we will completely kill Tokugawa Iemitsu's only reliance in the shortest possible time! Mu Feng, the affairs on the land will be left to you! ”

"Haha,"

Qin Mufeng laughed and said, "Okay, Lao Cha, when did Lao Tzu disappoint you?" No matter how many troops the Dongying army has, it will definitely not be able to stop the pace of our attack! Send an order to Tan Guilin and Xia Wanchun, raise the army, and go straight to Osaka! ”

The 50,000 infantry cavalry and the artillery battalion all moved and pounced in the direction of Osaka.

The distance between the two places was only more than a hundred miles, and the Ming army advanced at full speed, which was a matter of two days.

However, it was not the Tianxiong Army that took the lead in attacking, but the Ming fleet!

The Ming fleet rushed from Kobe to Osaka, that is, it took only two hours, and came to the vicinity of the Osaka Fort, and the Ming fleet took the lead and launched a fierce attack on the Osaka Fort!

This time, the Osaka Fort had already prepared, and also opened its firepower to the maximum, launching a counterattack against the Ming fleet, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in Osaka Bay!

In the sky, the cannonballs whistled back and forth, like flying locusts, but not only that, Matsudaira Nobutsuna pulled all his few remaining battleships to the vicinity of the fort to help in the battle, in an attempt to create the most powerful pressure on the Ming fleet.

It's just that the fort and the Dongying fleet, the two work together, and the strength is still far inferior to the Ming fleet, the gap between the two sides is too huge, where is it so easy to erase?

However, Dongying's battleships still caused some trouble to the Ming fleet, with the entanglement of Dongying battleships, the Ming fleet had no way to hit the batteries on the shore with all its might, Matsudaira Nobutsuna commanded six or seven battleships, constantly harassing the Ming warships, and even two battleships began to leak towards the cabin because they were hit by shells.

Cha Xuanqi's face was pale, and he roared angrily: "Order, tell Shi Lang, give him half an hour, lead the right-wing battalion to block those small shrimps in Dongying for me, and sink them all for me, Lao Tzu and them are all for sharks!" ”

With an order, Shi Lang led the fleet and began to surround Matsudaira Nobutsuna's warships, even if it was just a right-wing battalion, it was not something that the current Matsudaira Nobutsuna could contend with, even in the heyday of the Toei fleet, it was only able to barely suppress the right-wing battalion, and now the strength of the Toei fleet is seven or eight, with only six or seven warships, how can it be the opponent of the right-wing battalion?

Shi Lang commanded the battleship to pounce on the Dongying fleet, blocking the Dongying fleet in a corner on the east side of Osaka Bay, and there was nowhere to run if he wanted to!

Offensive!

Dozens of warships opened fire and launched a fierce attack on the Dongying battleship!

Now that Dongying's warships have no room for maneuver at sea, they can only respond passively, where can they withstand the onslaught of the right-wing battalion?

One shell after another, accompanied by rockets, all opened fire, head-on towards the Dongying battleship, and with the sound of explosions, the Dongying battleship was already blazing.

However, at this time, Matsudaira Nobutsuna also had no way to retreat, and could only resist desperately on the battleship, once he gave up the battleship, it meant that the battery was fighting alone, fight! Even if there is the last battleship left, it will be held to the end!

Matsudaira Nobutsuna constantly commanded the battleship to resist, desperately dodging the cannonballs flying like locusts!

In half an hour, Shi Lang used all the artillery that could be used, and finally before he arrived in half an hour, he severely damaged all the Dongying battleships, and one by one the battleships sank to the bottom of the sea.

This time, Matsudaira Nobutsuna has no way, and if he doesn't run, he will have to die with the battleship!
