Chapter Twenty-Three: The East Coast is Worry-Free

Beat?

To put it lightly, I have to ask the lords on the east bank of Fuso if they are willing! Deep in the Seto Inland Sea in your Tosa territory, the three-masted battleships that attacked in the narrow sea area did not dare to enter, and the garrison fleet of twenty brigs in the Owari Territory was stubbornly defending, and the three-masted battleship fleet did not fight.

The lords of all sides are also the bosses of all parties, and they all have ships under their hands to follow the seven three-masted warships. Looking at the route, it is obvious that Ben Songping territory has gone.

The lord of the Matsudaira territory did not do it first: "It's okay to ask my fleet to attack the Northern Fleet, but you must ensure that my Matsudaira Town can't be attacked, if they plan to give up my Matsudaira Town, then they will also give up other territories on the east coast of Honshu Island, I hope that all the lords whose territories are on the east coast can stand up and ask Kondo Mijin, your twenty brigs are parked in their own harbors and watch their friendly forces being attacked, and at the same time want to call our fleet on the east coast to fight hard?" Have you been kicked in the head? ”

Before the attack of the Fuso fleet began, there were signs of mutiny inside, and the lords of the east coast condemned Kondo Mijin for his behavior of pitting allies, and if Kondo Mijin did not take the blame and resigned, their lords on the east coast would leave with the fleet to protect their territory.

Sanchihonryo Sakura called Kondo Mijin over: "Even if twenty brigs can't defeat seven three-masted battleships, but as a containment and deterrence at sea, your behavior has seriously angered our allies, and according to your past behavior, you have completely lost the trust of your allies in you, I hope you can temporarily step down from your position as deputy commander-in-chief of the fleet and rush to the eastern garrison fleet to take charge of the defense of the east coast." ”

Kondo retorted: "My Owari Prefecture has grown to the scale of a first-class county, and if it is upgraded to a real city, it can build high-end shipyards, and in terms of value, all the territories on the east coast combined are not comparable to my territory, if we want to go further on the ocean." I must ensure that my territory is not under attack. ”

Sanchihonryu Sakura was furious: "Enough! This is not your game alone, and the whole Fuso will not revolve around you alone, if we lose the hearts of the people this time, even if you are strong in the future, you are only one person, and you cannot be stronger than the people of a country. Go and lead the Eastern Garrison Fleet out of the port, the Black Pearl does not appear in the East, then the Northern Fleet will definitely put it into the main battlefield. Without the Black Pearl in the east, you can use the speed advantage of the brigs to fight the fleet of trimas, depleting as much of their ammo as possible, even if Matsudaira is destroyed. The other territories can still be saved, and I will personally explain to the lords of the eastern coast, believing that with the quality of our Great Fuso players, we will make sacrifices to approve our decision, provided that we use our best efforts to protect their interests and not make them chill. ”

Due to Kondo Mijin's behavior of pitting friendly forces in the past, and continuing to pit friendly forces this time, the Fuso fleet was filled with the voice of Kondo Mijin. In desperation, Kondo Okami had no choice but to go to the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the Fuso fleet. Teleported Owari Prefecture under the command of the Eastern Garrison Fleet.

The unstable factor Kondo Mijin left the command position of the Fuso fleet, and under the persuasion of Sanchihonryusa, the Fuso fleet reunited its mind. Lord Matsubune decided to sacrifice his own interests for the sake of Fuso's future, "Kondo Gojinkai led the East Coast Garrison Fleet to attack. It is believed that under the entanglement of the East Coast Garrison Fleet and the Matsumoto Garrison Fleet, the three-masted battleship fleet will not calmly attack the Matsuken Territory, and they want to beat the Matsuben Territory until it disappears, not to mention whether their ammunition is enough or not. It will take at least ten days, and we will use these ten days to defeat the Northern Fleet and attack Jimo Port! ”

Sanzen Honryusura used his unique personality charm to reunite the Fuso fleet. The entire fleet launched an attack on the Northern Fleet.

The Northern Fleet had long been prepared for a long time and immediately attacked with an attack.

The sea within a radius of 100 miles is full of warships, and the smoke of gunpowder that is constantly sprayed rises a dark cloud in the sky above the battlefield, a ball is not dispersed, and a group rises again, even if the sea breeze hunts, it is impossible to call the high-altitude shooting camera to capture the panorama of the battlefield, and can only see from the blurred gaps that there are two kinds of battleships fighting with the dragon flag and the rising sun flag, red flame like snakes, cannonballs like stars, water surface like boiling, and momentum like rainbows.

Soon debris and shipwrecks spread all over the sea.

And in the sea area on the east coast of Fuso, Gangzi led the hob fleet with countless surveillance ships behind him and went straight to the Matsudaira territory. At this time, Kondo Okami had already taken over the command of the East Coast Garrison Fleet, and twenty brigs left Owari Port and headed south, heading straight for the Hob Fleet.

The transfer of the East Coast Fleet did not hide from the intelligence system of the Northern Fleet, and after receiving the news, Gangzi did not order the Hob Fleet to turn to meet the enemy, but continued to advance towards Matsudaira.

The speed of the two-masted battleship was significantly faster than that of the three-masted battleship, and Kondo Mijin took the route along the ocean current, which was faster.

So after a day of catching up, the East Coast Fleet finally caught up with the Hob Fleet off the coast of Matsudaira.

"Attention to the divisions, our mission is not to fight to the death with the other side, but to spread out in groups of two and two, attack from the periphery, and use your speed to threaten the head and tail of the enemy ships, forcing them to fight us on the spot. There is information that proves that the commander of the enemy fleet is likely to be Gangzi, who has fierce firepower and respects the supremacy of firepower, so our task is to consume as much ammunition as possible on the premise of preserving ourselves, and as long as they run out of ammunition, the three-masted battleship has nothing to fear. ”

"Attack!"

"Onboard!"

In the face of the attack launched by the East Coast Fleet, the Hob Fleet ignored them and continued to march towards the port of Matsudaira not far away.

Kondo Mijin was puzzled: What does this gang want to do? It's rare to want to use the cramped environment of the port to limit my speed? Joke! In the harbor, you will face the Matsudaira town battery, the temporary artillery position, the garrison of the four brigs of Matsudaira, and the two-sided attack of our east coast fleet. The harbor environment is cramped, the speed of the ship has decreased, and the hit rate has increased, even if you can finally destroy us and capture the port of Matsudaira with the defense power of the three-masted battleship, but the condition of your ship will definitely be extremely bad, so how should you deal with the large number of merchant ships that take over the ship?

In the face of harassment by fast brigs, it is indeed a good way to enter the port, but Gangzi is too confident in the strength of the three-masted battleship. Perhaps my assignment to the East Coast Garrison is my chance to re-emerge.

When Kondo saw the Hob fleet heading straight for Matsudaira Harbor, he gathered up the detached fleet and told his dhow to drive away the player ships that were not affiliated with the Owari Legion.

Gangzi broke into the port of Matsudaira with a fleet of hobs, and the seven three-masted battleships turned to the right and turned their heads counterclockwise. All the guns on the battleship launched a fierce attack on the Matsudaira town battery, the Matsudaira garrison flotilla, and the makeshift artillery positions. The Matsudaira defenders immediately returned fire with artillery fire, and the battle of Matsudaira port began.

With only a limited brig, the Matsudaira shore-based artillery could not be moved and could not be suppressed by the fire of the hob fleet, especially the temporary artillery positions that did not have too strong defensive measures, and in the face of the pouring shells, one by one were overturned to the ground. However, the fine iron smoothbore guns equipped by the Matsudaira defenders could not do quick and effective damage to the thick hull of the three-masted battleship.

The Matsudaira garrison had to press forward in order to buy time for the replacement of artillery in the makeshift artillery positions. The hob fleet immediately attacked it with concentrated fire.

"Inspire!" "Chain bounce!" "Incendiary cannonballs!" "Fire Dragon!"

A brig was sunk.

One more time!

"Inspire!" "Chain bounce!" "Incendiary cannonballs!" "Fire Dragon!"

Another brig has been sunk!

There were still two brigs left in the Matsudaira garrison fleet, trembling under the threat of the continuous bursts of the Hob fleet.

Kondo Mikami, who was slowly grinding outside Matsudaira Port, couldn't sit still, he didn't expect that the Matsudaira defenders would be so vulnerable in the face of the attack of the three-masted battleship group. Of course, it is no wonder that the defenders of Matsudaira behaved like this, and you can guess from the skills used by the enemy fleet that the captains of these three-masted battleships were Gangzi, Li Youtai, Sugar Candy, Angry Sea Battle, Long Xiang, Fat Sheep King, and an unknown captain.

This is the champion lineup of the "One Piece" competition, their three basic captain skills are at least two intermediate, as well as a variety of extended skills, extremely rich in combat experience, and with the strength of the three-masted battleship, the Matsudaira defenders have no capital to resist.

If Kondo Okami wants to fight the Hob Fleet, land-based artillery is indispensable, and since the Matsudaira defenders are unable to resist the attack, the Tokai garrison must participate in the battle as soon as possible. Only by inflicting a lot of damage on the Hob fleet could the Owari Legion, which had gathered outside the harbor, be able to capture ships in the later stages of the battle.

After Tsuyoko commanded the Hob Fleet to once again concentrate fire and destroy a Matsudaira brig, the Fuso East Coast Garrison Fleet led by Kondo Mijin sailed into Matsudaira Port. In the same way, they first turned to the right and then turned counterclockwise, and the line with the hob fleet in Matsudaira Harbor was divided, and the naval guns fired at each other.

The addition of twenty brigs to the East Coast Garrison Fleet greatly reduced the pressure on the Matsudaira defenders, who took advantage of the sparse shells overhead to quickly replace the damaged guns and strengthen the fortifications, and then threw one artillery gun at a time to attack the Hob fleet.

In terms of firepower, the hob fleet was already at a disadvantage, and the close-range artillery bombardment caused the hull of the three-masted battleship to be constantly shot. Although the Hob Fleet still maintains a strong firepower output with excellent defense, it will definitely be damaged over time.

The two fleets swirled around the port of Matsudaira, and after a circle, the hob fleet reached the exit of the port and then left the port in full view.

Kondo gritted his teeth angrily, it was obvious that Gangzi had seen that fighting in the harbor, they could certainly destroy themselves, but they would also be on the verge of destruction, so he drove the fleet out of the harbor away from the attack of land-based artillery, preparing to destroy himself at sea.

"Would I be so stupid to sail the fleet out? The speed of the voyage is mine, and I will follow you wherever you attack, and as soon as you enter the port, I will attack you with the power of shore defense. With me, the east coast of Fuso is worry-free. (To be continued.) )
