Volume 2 Gang Crush Chapter 66 Naval Battle
Three days later, the Black Shark Gang arrived near the waters of Osumi Castle and was immediately discovered by the opposing team's spies. More than an hour later, hundreds of Anzhai ships and Guan ships rushed towards the fleet, and the bluffing Chen Zuyi and the others jumped, they had never seen such a fast warship!
"Japanese trolls?" Meng Chengbi looked strange and asked uncertainly.
"It should be, right?!" Chen Mancang was also not quite sure about the interface.
"The warships of the Japanese are the same size as them?!" Hu Sanwa asked suspiciously.
"The boat is very flexible! Why don't you even have a cannon? "Datu's review is very professional.
"So nimble, their ship will be light, and the light will be thin! Prepare artillery and stone throwers, try it out! "The professional reasoning of the battalion commander of Haja made everyone worship!
"Command the enemy with arrows! Protect the merchant ship bag in the middle. Artillery and trebuchet ready! Chen Zuyi's series of orders were issued to the flag officer.
Then the ships quickly adjusted their formation, and when the opponent was five miles away, they had already adjusted their formation. With Chen Zuyi's ship No. 1 as the arrow, he rushed straight towards the scattered group of warships on the other side! The observer begins to tell the distance aloud.
"Four miles!"
"Sanli!"
"Two miles!"
"One mile!"
"Eight hundred steps!"
"Five hundred steps!"
"Three hundred steps!"
When the Japanese navy saw the opponent's giant warship rushing over like this, they were so frightened that they immediately ordered to flee sideways and open up the distance. There are ships that can't escape, and they are directly smashed by the collision.
Feathered arrows were also rained down on the fleet, and there were casualties on every ship. Seeing that it was already about to cut through the opponent's warship battle array.
"Fire!" At the sound of an order, the No. 1 battalion of the B word took the lead in firing the cannon, and the stone thrower also threw waves of fireballs.
The subsequent ships received the signal, and the guns on both sides fired in unison, and the Japanese warships on both sides were smashed with sawdust, and several warships were directly pierced by the projectiles, and poured into the sea water from the side of the ship, and quickly sank into the sea.
When they cut through the opposing warships, the two merchant ships broke away from the warring group and headed for the southern sea. The Black Shark warship made another big arc and rushed towards the group of Japanese warships that were full of mourning.
"Yaga! The pirates are back! Get ready for battle! Get ready for battle! "The Japanese navy didn't expect that the pirates, who only had fourteen warships, would dare to turn back! Immediately order the ships to stop rescuing people and start attacking each other.
This time, the Black Shark warship no longer used arrows to form a formation, but a one-word battle formation, rushing alongside, while beginning to slide out of a small arc, and when it was only two hundred paces away from the Japanese warship group, fourteen warships had already lined up.
"Free Fire!"
Fourteen ships roared again!
The Japanese warship, with its small skin and thin skin, and huddled together, was simply a natural target. The first round of shelling killed more than a dozen warships.
"This battle is a bit easy!" Hu Sanwa smiled cheaply and came to Chen Zuyi's side.
"Isn't it okay to be relaxed?" Chen Zuyi glanced at this very second guy, his hands were a little itchy, and he wanted to pat someone's head!
"It's so easy, the reader doesn't have a point to watch!" Hu Sanwa said as a matter of course.
"Smack!" Chen Zuyi finally couldn't hold back, and slapped the top of this guy's head, "The Japanese warship is like this bear, I can't do it if it's difficult, how can I make it interesting!" ”
As he spoke, the ship's catapult threw another fireball and whizzed away. Accidentally struck a few more warships, and those warships immediately burst into flames. The Japanese samurai on board howled and jumped into the sea.
Seeing that the Japanese warships came from hundreds of them with great momentum, to forty or fifty still barely supporting. Their bushido spirit is really powerful, and they can only be beaten, and they still stand up over there and don't retreat.
It's not that they're stupid, it's that they've never experienced such a naval battle. They have the impression that attacking each other always gets closer to the archery first, and then jumps to fight. The pirates on the opposite side didn't even talk about martial virtues, and they didn't even give a chance to get closer, so they killed half of their own warships!
After three rounds of strikes, the Japanese samurai finally reacted and rushed forward on their own initiative in battleships. The distance is already very close, and the half-pillar incense has been close in time.
"Fill the bulk!"
"Bow and arrow attack!"
"The herald will send five Meng Chong to sink the enemy's ships for me!"
After a series of orders, the two sides have begun to engage in ultra-short-range bow and arrow battles!
Bow and arrow warfare is that whoever has the most people and who takes advantage of it is difficult to take advantage of it. The Japanese suffered from the lack of artillery, just as the samurai on the top deck of the Japanese Ataka and Seki ships were smiling. Puffs of smoke rose from the artillery around the besieged enemy ships, followed by scattered pieces denser than arrows.
Poor Japanese samurai, even hiding behind the side of the ship, were beaten into a sieve, because the armor of their ship was too thin! The dozens of Japanese warships participating in the siege in the vicinity were all swept away by a hurricane, and there was only the groan of falling to the ground on board, and there was not a single person standing!
Behind them, five Mengchong warships rampaged like mad bulls, sinking the warships that had not yet besieged the opponent.
In the end, some Japanese warships began to flee in the desert, they were scared, they only felt very powerless, no matter how they attacked, they were killed!
Sink the Japanese warships that are still entangled one by one, and even if two of them succeed in jumping, they were killed on the deck by the prepared Black Shark Army.
In just one hour, the entire naval battle was completely over, and only the floating broken wood and the Japanese samurai soaked in the water wailed. After patiently killing these people with bows and arrows and slapsticks, Chen Zuyi waved his hand, and the fleet sailed with him in the direction of Osumi Port.
Chen Zuyi was not crazy enough to attack Osumi Castle, he just wanted to shell a demonstration of Osumi Harbor!
An hour later, the port of Osumi was bombarded by pirate artillery and ignited by a fireball thrown by a catapult, and the port of Osumi, which Spogangsuke had just spent a lot of money to repair urgently, was burned down again! Hearing the news, he rarely didn't smack anything, because he was too poor and had nothing for him to smack! Fortunately, the grain and raw silk had been transferred to the Hyuga City warehouse, otherwise it would be really difficult to keep it safe!
When the Black Shark Gang's fleet finished venting, they felt that they still didn't understand their hatred, although this naval battle took advantage of it, but it killed and injured hundreds of people. This made Chen Zuyi very distressed!
"Yuan Liang, when we came, I seemed to see that there were many islands inhabited?" Chen Zuyi asked Li Yuanliang.
"Back to the helper, there are indeed many islands, and those that should live on them should be the southern princes who did not submit to the rule of the Ashikaga shogunate!"
"Oh?! So, are we getting our goal wrong? ”
"Hehehe~, it's all the same, there's no difference! Otherwise, let's grab these guys again, they're not good birds anyway! ”
"That's fine! Let's grab them one by one! We only need gold, silver, copper and iron, and forget the rest, the fleet is afraid that it will not be able to fit! ”
In this way, the poor southern princes have all fled to the island, and they are still to be robbed by the Black Shark Gang!
Before dark the next day, we arrived at a large island closest to Kyushu, about 300 miles opposite Osumi Castle. If you get closer, you will find that this place is unusually prosperous, without saying a word, first greet with artillery!
Half of the battalion was then left to guard the warships, and all the others landed. As soon as the formation was formed, seven or eight hundred samurai rushed straight forward, and there were no extra words, so they collided together.
The Japanese samurai regiment, which was already inferior in numbers, could not take advantage of the Black Shark Army, and only killed half of the opponent's men and horses in two quarters of an hour. In the end, more than 300 warriors were surrounded, and just as Haja ordered his men to raise their bows and arrows and prepare to shoot them all, they surrendered.
It was a sergeant who took the lead in surrendering, and in the Japanese samurai group, the sergeants included the general, the daimyo, the banner, and the warrior, and they all had fiefs, but the size of the fiefs was different. This sergeant's name is Matsumoto Tsukage, and he was originally a subordinate of the daimyo who was the guardian of Hyuga Castle, but later the daimyo died of illness after escaping here, and he was the only one to manage the place.
Chen Zuyi thought for a while, this group of warriors has very good combat power, go back and practice, it should be a very good soldier!
"Just show your loyalty, and I will allow you to follow!"
The samurai were overjoyed, they had no hope of staying on the island since they lost their fiefdoms, and sooner or later they would be beaten by the new daimyo on the other side. For the former samurai, the new daimyo would not hire him, so the only way that awaited them was to become a Japanese ko. Now it's best to follow a powerful pirate!
The samurai of Japan have never been the protectors of the low-level peasants, but the ones who rule and oppress them, so these samurai, under the leadership of Matsumoto Tsukikage, took the initiative to help the Black Shark Gang loot the island's property, and the looting was even more ruthless than the Black Shark Gang! After a night, the Black Shark gang took the looted belongings, a good group of Japanese women, and the families of the samurai and began to board the ship.
Led by Matsumoto Tsukage, the fleet sailed to a large island called Yakushima, which was not the same as here, where the guardian daimyo was from the main island. It is said that it has been passed down for dozens of generations, so there should be a lot of possessions!
Yakushima is half the size of Kagoshima, where Matsumoto is located, and the population is smaller, and there are only more than 200 samurai under the Daimyo Yakuda Watar, and when Matsumoto Tsukikage disembarks with the samurai and the Black Shark Gang, they are already cowardly!
Yakuda Wo took out all the family property very neatly, and accumulated ten generations, only 800,000 taels of silver, and some porcelain calligraphy and paintings. robbed some of the young women, and spat Yakuda Wo a few times before it was over.
At the moment before boarding the ship, it is estimated that the samurai of Yakuda could not stand this insult, and about a hundred of them simply joined the Black Shark Gang. After leaving Yakushima, the Black Shark Gang magically had more than a hundred people.
Chen Zuyi divided the looted property according to the rules, and the samurai led by Matsubara Moonshadow could each receive a hundred taels of silver, which made them very excited, and they kowtowed excitedly one by one. They had been low-level warriors for so long, and they had never seen so much silver! This time alone, the silver split made these Japanese samurai desperate to do all the crazy things!
Further south, there are smaller islands, although inhabited, there is no oil and water, and the only thing that attracts the Black Shark Gang is women. The Black Shark Gang must be stable, in addition to being a strong soldier, it is also necessary to reconcile yin and yang. Grab a group of women back and distribute them to meritorious people, they have families, and they are more down-to-earth in the Black Shark Gang.
