The fight on land is vigorous, and the sea is also very lively. In order to support Kato Kiyomasa, the Kumano Water Army of Kukiki Yoshitaka was dispatched. There are more than 200 warships, densely packed almost all over the sea outside Nagato.

I don't know how they got in touch, when Kato Kiyomasa attacked. Nine Ghost Jialong also started his attack!

Ten ships equipped with Franco's cannons, all of which were covered with iron sheets, rushed to the front. The protection against the firebolt is very strong, and as for the bow and arrow, there is no way to deal with this kind of ship.

After summarizing the last naval battle, the Nine Ghosts Jialong found that the fire of the Phi Island Navy was sharp. But there didn't seem to be any cannon on board, which made him retreat. This time, Kiyomasa Kato learned his lesson and let the warship equipped with the Franc cannon rush to the front. Although the speed of this so-called "ironclad ship" is very slow, it is better than the sharp artillery fire and the thick skin and meat. Ordinary firecrackers can't shoot through the iron-clad side of a ship.

Nine Ghost Jialong believes that this is the perfect restraint of the advantage of the Phi Dao sailors. As for the incident of blowing up the Emperor's Taiji Boat last time, Nine Ghost Jialong felt that his Franc cannon definitely had a longer range than that cannon.

The mighty fleet sailed into the Nagato Inland Sea, facing a pitifully small Combined Fleet.

There is one Phi Island naval warship, and the rest are converted cargo ships. Moreover, there were only trebuchets on the cargo ships, and there were no other naval weapons at all. Once someone jumps to fight, it's basically useless.

The Maori navy, which started with a water army, is very elite. It is a pity that the Maori family has been in short financial supply and has suffered serious staff loss in recent years. At present, there are only about fifty ships, armed with two Fran cannons.

However, the Maori navy looked extremely strong, with two ships with Franc cannons rushing to the front. The rest of the ships were full of naked men with only a crotch cloth on their bodies.

The guys were wielding knives in their hands and shouting like madmen. I saw Li Xiu roll his eyes!

There was not even a piece of armor on his body, and a row of firearms swept over, and he didn't know how many people would die. Only these heartless things will ponder how to send them to death.

Li Xiu ordered his warships to line up, and the trebuchets on board were ready to shoot at any time.

The warships of the Nine Ghost Jialong on the opposite side were also lined up, and ten "iron boats" rushed to the front.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom" ......! Relying on the sharp artillery fire, the Nine Ghosts Jialong fired first.

To say that the Fran cannon of this year is actually similar to a musket. A little farther away, you don't have an accurate score! The shells go out, and God knows if they will hit. Even the best gunners did not dare to say that the first hit hit on a bumpy sea. If you want to hit the rate, you can only shoot a salvo.

Columns of water soared around the fleet!

There was a big fart in the Nagato Inland Sea, and dozens of ships were crammed into a lump. Inevitably, there will be a few unlucky ones! This unlucky guy is the leader of the Maori family's water army, Ezo Shinyouemon.

The cargo was in command of a ship equipped with a Franco's cannon, and immediately returned fire when he saw the enemy's fire. His shells didn't even touch the enemy's hair, but the enemy found him. Ships equipped with Franc cannons will definitely be taken care of first.

I don't know if it's because Ezuo Shinyouemon has the physique to move cannonballs, or if it's particularly bad luck today. The other side fired nothing more than a salvo, and his boat was hit by three shells.

Screams and debris flew everywhere, and one of the shells hit the sail of the ship. The mast, which was thicker than an elephant's legs, broke off from it at once. The fallen mast threw three more panicked sailors into the sea.

Fortunately, the shells of this year are all solid large iron balls, otherwise the ship would be basically useless if it is unsinkable.

Seeing that the enemy's artillery fire was attracted by Jiangzuo Xinyouweimen, Li Xiu estimated the distance.

"The bronze cannon is aimed at the iron-clad warships!" Li Xiu knew that the greatest threat to himself from the Kumano Navy was the warships equipped with Franco's cannons. The first target of the bronze cannon was aimed at them.

In order to increase the hit rate, Li Xiu's ship was very slow. The hull is as smooth as possible!

It was very dangerous to do so, and the slow-moving ship was basically the target, but now the opponent's firepower was attracted by Ezo Shinyuemon.

"Boom!" The brass cannon roared, and the cannonball came out of the barrel like lightning.

"Bang!" The shells shattered the iron-clad side of the ship and fired directly into the ship's hold. Immediately after, there was a loud roar.

The Kumano Navy's tin boat exploded like a large firecracker, and the huge explosion lifted the superstructure more than ten meters high. Thick black smoke rose into the sky and looked very scary.

Li Xiu didn't expect that his luck was so good that he burst into a pulp. The first shell was fired into the enemy ship, and it appeared that it still went into the ammunition compartment. At the same time as the explosion of the flowering shell, it also ignited the enemy's ammunition.

The hapless ship didn't even start to burn out before the hull sank rapidly. Li Xiao saw many people with fire on their bodies jumping into the sea!

Nine Ghost Jialong felt a chill on his back, what kind of thing did the other party use. Actually killed a ship with a single shot? The Maori warship on the other side had been hit by six or seven cannons, and it had not been beaten to such virtue.

"Charge, charge the whole army." Nine Ghost Jialong immediately ordered.

Nine Ghost Jialong, who had experienced countless battle formations, knew that at this time, he should try to rush over and engage the enemy in close combat. When the two armies are in a mess, the enemy's superiority in firearms cannot be brought into play. If you fight for long-range weapons again, even if you are completely annihilated, you will not be able to defeat the opponent.

Countless clippers overtook the slow-moving tin ships and frantically rushed towards the Combined Fleet. At least ten ships were rushing towards Li Xiu, and the bronze cannons glittered in the sunlight, which was very conspicuous.

The tin boats were constantly firing cannons, covering the fleets of clippers that were close to the Maori house. As long as the two armies are mixed together, with a huge numerical advantage. Kumano Naval Army has almost won!

Li Xiu still maintained a slow speed, after the reloading. Again fired, this time without hitting the enemy ship. Just hit a near-miss bullet! Rao is like this, and the explosion disgusted the sky-high water column also scared the Nine Ghost Jialong enough. This thing can be exploded in water!

The gunners were nervously loading, but there were already Japanese clippers approaching a distance of about a hundred paces.

"Boom!" The first clipper exploded in a burst of fire, sending up large puffs of black smoke from the blazing flames.

Li Xiu's ship was surrounded by more than a dozen converted cargo ships. Each of these ships had two trebuchets on deck, both firing improved shells from Li Xiu.

The shells were covered in thorns, even if they were thrown onto the side of the ship. By inertia, those spikes also nailed shells to the ship's side. As soon as the fuse is gone, a huge explosion will tear the wooden boat gang apart. Fragments of the shattered hull can fly more than a hundred meters away, and even people will be blown up.

Ezo Shinyouemon looked at the Kumano naval warship that was constantly exploding in surprise, it turned out that the trebuchet could still be used like this. Although the Wa Kingdom was underdeveloped, its army was once equipped with trebuchets. But with the introduction of firearms, trebuchets have been phased out. The princes of the elite preferred the guns of the Francobot to the old trebuchets that looked old.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ……！ With the launch of the trebuchet, the Japanese clippers burst into flames and smoke. The sea was littered with the broken corpses of the Kumano Naval Army, as well as fragments of the wreckage of warships. No one would have imagined that the Kumano Water Army, which was not a good idea just now, would be so embarrassed now.

Although the Phi Dao Navy launched at the fastest speed, there were still many Kumano Navy clippers rushing up. They rushed into the Maori family's fleet, as long as the ships were close. Arquebusiers began to fire their guns, and nearer there were countless claws hooked onto the ship's side. A few sturdy guys actually stepped on the rope and threw themselves on the opposite boat.

By this time, the bow and crossbow also had a use. Although it is not as powerful as the musket, it is better to fire quickly.

People keep getting hit by arrows and falling off ropes and into the sea! Even after falling into the sea, these men still swam towards the enemy ship with knives in their mouths.

The Kumano Navy is indeed fierce, and it has only been half an hour since the battle. There were already no less than ten Maori warships, and they had been wiped out. The dead man was thrown into the sea, and the sharks, which had traditionally only swam in the open sea, immediately increased. The sea was even more noisy, and the sharks were making a very big splash to eat the carcasses.

More than a dozen ships formed a formation of iron barrels, and trebuchets kept throwing hedgehog bullets! Use 20 pounds of blasting bombs for long distances, and 50 pounds of blasting shells when the distance is close.

The power of a fifty-pound blasting bomb is so great that just one can blow up the opponent's ship. The fragments of the ship can even fly to Li Xiao's ship. A severed arm almost smashed into Li Xiu's face. This is the biggest threat Li Xiu has ever faced in this battle.

If the other side gets too close, some able-bodied guys will take advantage of the cover of the side of the ship and start throwing incendiary grenades. It's not much different from a grenade, except that it doesn't explode, it burns violently.

Wooden boats, the most afraid is fire. As soon as a few incendiary bombs burned, the opposing warship would immediately emit thick black smoke, and no one could stay in the cabin. As long as you stay in the cabin, you will either be burned or choked to death.

The incendiary bomb that Li Xiao researched was a mixture of potassium nitrate mixed with charred sugar. Not to mention wood, even steel can stick to it and burn. And this incendiary bomb has a characteristic, that is, it cannot be extinguished by water. The soldiers of the Japanese Kingdom in these years were generally superstitious, and generally speaking, the fire that could not be extinguished by water belonged to the category of divine fire.

Instead of putting out the fire, many soldiers bowed down to the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman on the sails and begged for mercy!

The most unfortunate thing is the guy who explodes at the foot of the incendiary bomb, and the flames burn the soul and bones like a soul hook. The people who were covered in flames let out a heart-rending howl. A man driven mad by the pain, like a madman, chops everything he can see with a knife in his hand. Including their own comrades-in-arms and loved ones!

The result of this is to be dismembered by a random blade, and the flesh is thrown into the water and still burning. Until the sea completely drowns out the flames!

Li Xiu's iron bucket array seems to be a gluttony. Ruthlessly devouring the lives of the Japanese soldiers, there were no less than a dozen burning warships around the iron barrel array. The trebuchet was busy working whenever an enemy ship approached. It will be hit by a bomb with iron spikes, and then it will turn into another pile of debris floating in the seawater.

The warships of the Maori family are quite eye-catching, and when they see the warships of Phi Island, they are powerful. Immediately retreat to the flanks and flanks of the Phi Dao warship, and pick out the half-blown ships.

The Nine Ghosts Jialong's eyes were red like plague-infected rats, and the sea was full of broken warships. Most of them were his warships, and there were sharks devouring human corpses in the sea. There have even been sharks that have begun to attack the living, watching their men being dragged to the bottom of the sea by sharks. A large area of blood surged on the sea, and the Nine Ghosts Jialong was eager to immediately tear apart the Ming warship on the opposite side.

But he couldn't help it, his ten ships with Franc cannons. Six of the brass cannons under the command of Li Xiu have been blown up, and the remaining four are likely to be destroyed if they continue to fire like this.

The Franc cannon was not completely without achievements, but the solid projectile on the Franc cannon hit the warship. It's just a hole in the boat and a few people inside. It's hard to inflict fatal damage on a warship!

Brass cannons are different, and his ship will be torn in half as soon as it goes down.

"Water! Hurry up and water! "The continuous firing makes the temperature of the brass cannon very alarming. Li Xiu had to order to pour water on the cannon barrel. Li Xiao told Li Xiu that seawater is corrosive. Now it is poured on the barrels of the guns, but all is fresh water. Anyone who runs the sea knows how scarce fresh water is. Luckily, it's relatively close to the shore. If it's an ocean-going vessel, no one wants to do that.

"Boom!" Another ship on Phi Island was hit by a Franc cannon, and two sailors were knocked flying by large solid iron balls. A hole the size of a bowl in his chest. Bai Huahua's ribs were exposed, and he kicked his legs without even saying a word.

"Reload! Launch! The brass cannon cooled down a little, and Li Xiu immediately ordered the cannon to be fired. There are too few such cannons, and more of these cannons will be cast in the future. It's so fucking easy to use, especially at sea. It's a nightmare for any warship!

The brass cannon roared again, and the shells drilled into a ship accurately.

"Retreat! Fall back! Nine Ghost Jialong ordered with red eyes.

I've lost enough today and can't afford to lose again. If you lose like this, the bones of the Kumano Navy will be broken. In just half a morning, he lost no less than fifty ships and thousands of fierce sailors.
