Chapter 708: The Black Ship Incident
"Well played! Ha ha! β
Seeing the shogunate boat, which was directly shattered by the flowering bomb, Chongzhen couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
In another world, the Chinese people are fed up with the humiliation and even slaughter of the Japanese slaves, and Chongzhen, as a descendant of the Chinese, does not mention how angry he is in his heart.
So now, seeing the Japanese slaves suffering, Chongzhen didn't mention how cool it was in his heart.
For small days, you should fight like this, and you will doubt life until you are small.
Zheng Zhilong, Shi Tianfu and other admirals were also excited, the power of the flowering bomb was so great, which they never expected.
"Holy Lord, our flowering bullet is simply a naval battle artifact!"
"In the Battle of Liuluo Bay back then, if the Daming Naval Division could have such a flowering bomb, it could wipe out Liu Xiang and the Dutch army, haha!"
"It's too late to fight later."
Chongzhen laughed, and said: "Spread the order, continue to fire cannons, and all the shogunate ships surrounding the island will be sunk, and no one will be left, haha!" β
"Yes!" Zheng Zhilong saluted the military salute.
The heralds were immediately instructed to give orders through the microphones that connected the upper and lower decks.
As a result, the 32 naval guns on the starboard side continued to fire, hitting rows of 4-inch and 6-inch caliber flowering shells onto the shogunate's ships.
β¦β¦
At this time, Zheng Wangcai and Xu Sanguan also knew that it was the Daming Water Master.
"Haha, it's the sailor of Daming who has arrived, and he is saved! Haha, we're saved! β
Zheng Wangcai, Xu Sanguan, and more than 300 Ming righteous people who had survived their lives cheered.
Then, these more than 300 Ming righteous people saw an even more exciting picture for them.
I saw that the shogunate navy warships that had just tried to attack Kankong Island were shattered one by one by cannonballs under the attack of the naval guns of the Daming sailors, and both the ship itself and the shogunate samurai on board were all torn to pieces.
That's really broken, almost 200 mm large-caliber grenades, shattering small boats without pressure.
Zheng Wangcai was amazed by the sharpness of the Daming Sailor, and on the other hand, he felt extremely proud.
After living humiliatingly in Osaka for decades, he finally waited for the powerful and mighty Daming Water Master.
β¦β¦
Zheng Wangcai was excited and proud, but Tokugawa Yoshinao, Inaba Masato, and other daimyo who came to help were in a solemn mood, like being crushed on a boulder.
The artillery of the Daming Sailor Division is so sharp, and the sailors and samurai who attack are only afraid that they will be more than lucky.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Tokugawa Yoshinao and others, and under the noses of the 100,000 shogunate army, the Daming Sailor began the brutal slaughter of the shogunate sailor samurai.
First, with artillery bombardment, one warship after another was torn to pieces.
The samurai on each ship were torn to shreds.
Then he collided with a ramming angle, and where the huge collision angle passed, the shogunate's boat was cut in two in an instant, and the samurai on board fell into the sea one after another.
Even so, the black ships of the Ming army still did not let go of these warriors.
Rows of Ming samurai immediately appeared on the side of the ship, holding "iron cannons" aimed at the shogunate samurai who were fluttering in the sea, and opened fire fiercely, and the shogunate samurai were hunted one after another.
In less than a moment, Osaka Bay was stained red with the blood of the samurai.
This was not over, and the big black ship of the Ming Army's naval division immediately sailed towards Osaka Castle.
Until this time, the 100,000 shogunate troops standing on the shore and watching the battle at the head of Osaka Castle had not yet realized the danger, and the big black ships of the Ming army's sailors had already approached to 2,000 paces, and they did not think to avoid it.
β¦β¦
"Closer, closer!"
Seeing this scene, Chongzhen's eyes lit up with excitement, and his heart was full of anticipation, he was eager to see the beautiful scenery of the Japanese slaves on the shore being blown up by flowering bombs.
The reality is that Chongzhen has brought the Japanese slaves in front of him into another world.
Therefore, the slave in front of him also inherited Chongzhen's bitter hatred for the little day.
Although Zheng Zhilong does not have the same hatred as Chongzhen, he is also full of expectations for the upcoming scene, although his wife is a widow, but this does not mean that he has any good feelings for the widow.
The naval officers and soldiers on the Zhou Yu and the army officers and men also did not have a good impression of the Japanese slaves.
Because the Ming Dynasty was harassed and slaughtered by the Japanese invaders, it has lasted for four hundred years.
Although the Japanese slaves of the other world tried to whitewash the Japanese invaders, saying that the Japanese were basically Ming fishermen along the coast, and the number of real Japanese was actually very small, but the Ming soldiers of this world obviously did not think so.
Therefore, for the upcoming massacre, the Ming soldiers were full of expectations in their hearts.
Under the expectations of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong, and all the soldiers of the Ming army, the Zhou Yu became closer and closer to the coast, and soon there were only a thousand steps left, and then eight hundred steps......
A number of Franc cannons installed at the head of Osaka Castle began to fire one after another.
Columns of water splashed from time to time in front of the Zhou Yu and on the left and right sides.
Occasionally, a shell hit the bow of the ship, but at best it could only make a hole.
Finally, the Navy non-commissioned officer in charge of ranging reported that there were only five hundred steps left from the shoreline.
Chongzhen immediately turned his head to Zheng Zhilong and said, "Min Guogong, it's almost over, let's shoot!" β
At this time, Zheng Zhilong didn't want to use the herald, so he rushed directly to the microphone and roared at the horn: "There are all of them, the target is the Japanese slaves on the shore, shoot freely!" Full speed shot! β
The Zhou Yu immediately turned sideways, and the 32 naval guns on the starboard side fired one after another.
Accompanied by the muffled sound of "all passes", a 4-inch or 6-inch caliber flowering bullet, carrying a piercing scream, smashed into the shogunate troops watching on the shore with an almost straight trajectory.
About two seconds later, the shells landed on the shore.
"Boom! Boom Boom! Then there was a fierce explosion.
A 6-inch flowering bullet landed in the ranks of the shogunate army, and instantly exploded a large pit with a diameter of nearly twenty steps, and dozens of samurai in the pit were directly shattered, as well as samurai, retainers and ashigaru within fifty paces around, and hundreds of people were killed and injured by this cannon alone!
There was also a 6-inch flowering bullet that landed on the roof of a house.
The next moment, the whole house was blown to pieces in an instant.
There was also a 6-inch flowering bullet that landed on the walls of Osaka Castle.
Hearing a bang, a large part of the bricks of the city wall collapsed.
More shells fell on the city walls, on the roofs of the houses outside the city, on the heads of the shogunates, and the same picture was repeated over and over again, but this round of shelling inflicted heavy losses on the shogunate troops.
At least a dozen houses were blown up, and thousands of shogunate soldiers were killed and wounded.
β¦β¦
Seeing the shogunate army being killed piece by piece, and the house being blown up piece by piece, Chongzhen smiled even more.
It's comfortable, it's really comfortable, and this can be regarded as revenge for the Battle of Songhu in another world, in the Battle of Songhu in that world, the officers and soldiers of the national army were bombed by the large-caliber naval guns of the small days.
Today in this world, Daming finally got this field back.
Amid Chongzhen's laughter, Zhou Yu's naval guns began the second round of shelling.
After improving the cannon from front to rear reloading, the rate of fire was greatly increased.
One shot per minute, which used to be the limit, can now reach two shots per minute.
In the future, the problem of passivation of nitrocellulose fibers will be solved, and the rate of fire of the cannon can be further improved, and five or even ten rounds per minute will no longer be a luxury.
β¦β¦
"My lord, get out of here, danger!"
The samurai retainers at the head of Osaka Castle finally realized the great danger, and hurriedly escorted Tokugawa Yoshinao and Inaba Masato, and hurriedly left the castle tower.
As a result, as soon as the group left the city, they heard a rumbling sound behind them.
When I turned my head in surprise, I was surprised to see that the Osaka Water Gate Tower had collapsed.
"Eight grids!" Tokugawa Yoshizhi said with a dark face, "Why are the firearms of the Ming Army's sailors so sharp? β
"Yes, Hongyi's firearms can't be compared to the Great Ming Fire Weapon at all." Inaba Masato's face was also incredulous, he originally thought that Hongyi's firearms were sharp enough, but he didn't expect Daming's firearms to be ten times sharper, or even a hundred times! Daming's firearms are so sharp, can Japan still survive?
Surprised to surprised, Inaba Masato's is not stupid.
The shogunate army was immediately ordered to withdraw into Osaka Castle.
β¦β¦
Seeing the shogunate army retreating into Osaka Castle, Chongzhen and Zheng Zhilong both laughed.
Retreating into Osaka Castle will ensure safety? The Japanese slaves are also too naΓ―ve.
At that moment, Chongzhen instructed Zheng Zhilong: "Min Guogong, let all the naval guns be replaced with solid shells, and bombard the water gate of Osaka City, and strive to blast open the Osaka water gate within one day!" β
"Yes!" Zheng Zhilong agreed.
At this time, in order to protect the naval guns on the starboard side, Zheng Zhilong ordered Zhou Yu to turn his head and aim the 32 naval guns on the port side at the water gate of Osaka City, and then began a fierce artillery bombardment.
Osaka Castle may have been considered strong in the Wa Kingdom.
But it is nothing compared to Xiongguan Jiancheng in the territory of Daming.
However, even the Xiongguan Jiancheng of the Ming Dynasty could not withstand the bombardment of the old-fashioned Hongyi cannons, so how could the Osaka City built by the Japanese slaves withstand the bombardment of Zhou Yu's large-caliber naval guns?
It only took half a day for the Osaka water gate to collapse.
After the collapse of the Water Gate, the buildings in the city were exposed to the guns of the Zhou Yu.
Zheng Zhilong ordered Zhou Yu to turn around again, and then launched an indiscriminate bombardment of the buildings in Osaka Castle, and for a while, the entire Osaka Castle was shrouded in smoke and dust from the explosion.
The shogunate army was no longer safe in Osaka Castle and had to retreat to the north of the castle.
Just after the shogunate retreated to a safe distance northeast of Osaka Castle, the Ming Navy's 2,000 Junk ships, 1,000 Wuwei ships, and 400 bird ships began to dock.
Immediately the officers and men of the 2nd Division on board began to land.
Since the Navy had complete control of the coastline of Osaka Bay, the landing of the 2nd Division became extremely easy, and there was no need to grab the beach at all, and it could go ashore directly from the pier.
The Osaka pier was not shelled, and all facilities remained intact.
On December 13, 22 years of Chongzhen, the 2nd Division of the Ming Army landed in Osaka under the cover of the navy, and then a fierce battle broke out with the shogunate army, which is known as the Osaka Bay Incident or the Black Ship Incident.
