Chapter 626: The Naval Division's Decisive Battle

When the battle on the front line of Xuanda came to an end, Oda Nobunaga's movements were finally clarified.

In the encirclement and interception of the Ming army, Oda Nobunaga did go straight to the Hangzhou dock at first. But when he arrived in Hangzhou, he found that the dock had been prepared.

The ship did not dock, but in the middle of the dock, dozens of feet away from the shore. The craftsmen who work all eat and live on the treasure boat, and if they want to get on the treasure boat, they must take a small boat to ferry there.

Not only were there heavy troops stationed around the docks, but soldiers were also stationed on the treasure ships. Even if Oda Nobunaga could lead the Wako to defeat the defenders, they would definitely be attacked by the soldiers on the treasure ship if they wanted to destroy the treasure ship in a small boat.

There are cannons on the treasure ship, and those small boats can't carry it at all. What's more, there are other ships around the treasure ship that have been completed, and they all have cannons!

Oda Nobunaga decisively changed the route, and according to the time calculation, the Japanese naval division wing, which transported the second batch of Japanese pirates, was about to arrive!

In fact, the original plan was to wait for the arrival of the second batch of troops before launching a full-scale attack.

But the empty mirror monk was assassinated, disrupting his entire plan. The morale of both sides was declining, and the number of muskets of the Ming Dynasty was still increasing, forcing him to take risks and attack Nanjing.

If it can be won, then when the second batch of Japanese troops arrives, the two armies should be united inside and outside, and the entire land south of the Yangtze River will be at your fingertips.

But now that we haven't been able to win, everything has to be replanned. The Japanese army was defeated, but they would not die so cleanly, which Oda Nobunaga was quite confident in.

You must know that what the Japanese are best at is fighting guerrillas, and over the years in the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, large and small groups of Japanese have been chased by Yu Dayou and run all over the ground, and they have long since run out of experience.

Those who scattered and fled will definitely secretly move to the seashore, because that is where the Japanese have the most advantage.

The land by the sea is soft, the tidal flats are everywhere, the cavalry is useless, and the infantry fights the infantry, and the Japanese have always had the advantage.

Therefore, Oda Nobunaga secretly moved to the sea with the Japanese pirates, preparing to gather his subordinates, welcome a new team, and make a comeback.

However, most of the remnants of the Japanese led by Oda Nobunaga were musketeers of the Franco, and they were far less hard-working than the domestic Japanese ones.

Moreover, they did not trust Oda Nobunaga as much as the domestic Japanese pirates, and after this Nanjing fiasco, the Japanese mercenaries were very dissatisfied with Oda Nobunaga.

"Oh my God, it's ridiculous that the dwarf general claims to be a Japanese giant!"

"Oh my friend, it's not funny, although he is not very tall, he is indeed tall in the Wako!"

"Looking at the battle he led us to, it's too much of a bag, I think he's just a stupid groundhog!"

"I agree with you, my old fellow, and I want to kick him in the ass too, but we still have to run for our lives with him!"

Oda Nobunaga didn't understand the Franco-language system, but he instinctively sensed that the guys weren't complimenting him, but he couldn't refute it.

After all, he had just suffered his biggest fiasco ever. It seems that the generals and troops of the Ming Dynasty are indeed far from being comparable to the Warring States of Japan!

However, Oda Nobunaga firmly believes that he still has a chance to save his respect. The troops transported this time are the last combat strength of Japan, and I must lead them to victory!

I heard that the Rakshasas and the Mongols have finally made a move, and the fight is in full swing on the top of the head of the Great Ming. If his side is defeated, Daming will definitely transfer troops from the south to support.

If that's too cool, I'm going to change my style of play this time and stop storming the big city. He had to let the ships escort all the way along the coast, sweeping the entire coastal area.

Then he gained a firm foothold, established political power, and gradually encroached on the southern territories of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming army dares to come to battle, let the ships and cannons of the Combined Fleet bombard them into scum on the coast!

In the early hours of the morning, in the mist of the sea, the combined fleet of Japan and Franc was gradually approaching the Daming Sea, and the fleet was full of Japanese and Oda Nobunaga's hopes.

The commander of the combined army on land was Oda Nobunaga, and the commander of the combined fleet at sea was General Andrei Franco.

Because Francois is a well-deserved maritime hegemon in this era, the ship is strong and the guns are sharp, and there are many talents.

At this time, the empire of the sun never set was still in the era of dung and smearing the walls, and at the same time, its strength was still slightly weak, and it was deeply shrouded in the shadow of the Franco.

In the telescope, you can already see the coastline of Daming. At the current speed, the experienced General Andrei thought that in two hours at most, he would be able to reach the Daming coast.

He stretched hard, relieved.

"It's not a long journey, but it hasn't stopped. I don't know how much land those Japanese have laid. ”

The one-eyed first mate rushed in: "Captain, behind us there is a fleet, a lot of ships!" ”

The first mate originally had two eyes, but because the telescopes produced by Daming at that time were monocular, the first mate once looked at it during a naval battle, but was knocked down by a sailor and blinded in one eye.

Many captains and first mates of the Age of Discovery were one-eyed dragons, which is said to have had a great deal to do with the widespread use of monoculars at that time.

"What fleet? What is the flag to be hung? Could it be that the king's call for all the countries of Europa to send troops to help Japan worked? ”

As the first brother of the sea on the European continent at that time, Francois always hoped that other countries would follow him and do a great job.

It's a pity that European countries have their own thoughts, no profit can not afford to be early, people's hearts are very scattered, and the team is very difficult to lead.

Especially in the United Kingdom, this country is not big, the ambition is not small, and there is a backbone in the back of the head, and the Francois have always looked down on it.

The first mate shook his head desperately: "No, those ships don't look like pirate ships, the leader looks like the ships of the Ming Dynasty, and the ones behind are all kinds and uneven!" ”

AndrΓ© walked briskly to the bow of the flagship, picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance. Through the dissipating mist, he saw.

In the middle was the Ming Dynasty's treasure ship battle group, dozens of ships surrounded the treasure ship as tall as a sea fortress, and took the lead with great momentum.

There are two big flags flying high on the treasure ship, one is the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the four big characters of "Ming Zhiyuan".

The flotilla on both wings, on the two flagships, one is "Zhenhai" and the other is "Patrol". And behind them, there are all kinds of ships.

There are round boats that look like turtles, there are fake boats that look like several boats tied together to grow from small to large, and some are obviously converted from fishing boats.

This is the newly established Ming Federation, the coastal countries put together a ragtag fleet, the strength is different, the good and the bad are uneven.

Among them, the strongest combat effectiveness is the turtle boat from North Korea, like Annan's, which is directly equipped with a cannon on the fishing boat and pretended to be a battleship.

Although the quality is uneven, the quantity is very amazing, and it is also fierce behind the main fleet, like a temporary little brother standing behind for fifty yuan a day during a gang war.

Andre's face was solemn, he was not willing to have a decisive battle with the Great Ming Sailor now. Although he is confident that he is not false in terms of quality and quantity, the main task this time is to transport troops!

The ships were full of Japanese pirates, and in order to save space, even wooden planks were added to the sides of some boats to make temporary open-air sea view houses.

If this fights, no matter whether they win or lose, these widows in the sea-view houses are afraid that they will fall into the sea......

However, whether a war can be started or not will never be based on the side that does not want to fight, but on the side that wants to fight.

It's like multiplication, just mix in a negative number in a bunch of positive numbers, and the whole equation has to become negative.

In the boundless ocean, as long as one ton of nuclear wastewater is discharged, the entire ocean will slowly turn into a nuclear wastewater soup.

A bunch of Caucasians, Yellows, and Browns, as long as they mix in a black brother, will slowly become black.

In the end, there is no pejorative meaning, people's genes are so strong, no matter what race, as long as there is a black gene, the final result is the same.

So at this time, no matter what General Andrei thought, he had to turn around and face the Daming Naval Division, which had been dodging for half a year and suddenly rushed up to the decisive battle.

Naval warfare seems to be hand-to-hand combat without swords, and it seems to be more civilized than war on land. But in fact, the cruelty of naval warfare is not weaker than that of land warfare.

The feeling of naval warfare is a bit like fighting with people when you have a nightmare, obviously you have more than enough, but your movements are always slow and you can't use your energy.

And the naval battle seems to be full of roads, but in fact, if you are really defeated, there is no way to escape, it is completely a fight for speed. Even if your ship is a little slower than the others, it will definitely be caught up and killed.

Unlike on land, you can drill a ravine, drill a grove or something, and maybe escape a life. It's really not good, you can still blend into the crowd after throwing your weapon and taking off your clothes.

Where do you go at sea? Even if there is a group of mermaids, your legs are split!

Therefore, in large-scale naval battles, there are very few people who flee directly, and they come up to die.

The flagships of the two sides saluted each other, measured the distance between them, and then flew with fire.

Andrey, an experienced veteran sea wolf, ordered the fleet to move at full speed, approaching the opposing fleet at all costs, in an effort to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

In normal times, the Francobots rarely use this kind of hand-to-hand combat that pirates love. Because the most proud of the Francophone people is the strong guns of the ship and the long-range decisive battle.

But the current situation is different, Andrei's fleet is full of dense pirates, and it would be stupid to blindly fight from afar in this situation.

As it is written in some sections, it is clear that 100,000 people against 10,000 people, and the generals on both sides have to sign up for a heads-up, and then the defeated side of the general will flee, and the victorious side will begin to cover up the past, and the enemy army will suffer countless casualties.

Cover up and kill a hair, 100,000 people against 10,000 people are still fucking heads-up, this kind of general must be in the water no matter what the force value is!

Andrei's brain is definitely not in the water, although he sails at sea every day, he pays great attention to the protection of his brain, so he understands that it is most advantageous to be close to hand-to-hand combat at this time!

It's a pity that Tang Shunzhi's brain is also very dry, he has been dormant with the fleet for a long time, waiting for the opportunity to fight for a decisive battle for a long time, how can he not think about these things?

He ordered the fleet to disperse, firing as he retreated, always keeping a distance from Andrei's fleet and not giving the other side a chance to jump into the gang.

During this period, both sides of the ships were still driven by manpower and wind power, and neither used steam engines, so the speed of the ship depended entirely on how many people rowed in the power compartment at the bottom.

If the number of oars is fixed, it is necessary to test the biceps, triceps, trapezius, rectus abdominis, and even gluteus maximus of the oars.

Due to racial reasons, all aspects of the muscle groups of the Franc sailors are more developed than those of the Ming sailors, so at sea, the Franc fleet is always a little faster than the Asian fleet.

Don't underestimate this little bit of speed, there is no danger to defend at sea, there is no way to escape, as long as you are a little faster, the ends of the earth can catch up with you and kill you.

If you can't beat it, a little bit of speed is enough to escape. It's useless if you can fight better than me, I'm faster than you, and the farther I chase!

So why, before the advent of the steam engine, the supremacy of the seas came and went, and it was always European? The muscular level of an individual sailor determines the speed of the fleet, which may well be the key.

This is a piece of cold knowledge summarized by Xiao Feng, and experts may scoff at it. But at least this is a more reasonable speculation, rather than the pundits that the poor can get rich by renting out their idle houses.

But that was under normal circumstances, but at this time, the fleet led by Andre could never catch up with Daming's fleet, which made him anxious and depressed.

It wasn't that the muscles of the Fur sailors had atrophied suddenly, it was that the weight of each of their ships was too great.

There are more than 200,000 Japanese robbers, distributed on these ships, and even if the turning speed is fast, they can throw out a few of them, how can they be fast?

A Japanese who was thrown out fell from the side of the ship, and when it landed on the second floor of the gun, a cannonball just came out, and it was hit by the cannonball and landed on the deck of the Ming Dynasty

As the first person to successfully jump into the gang, he had no combat power, and the whole person was attached to the deck, and the Ming sailors running around didn't even bother to look at whether he was still alive.

Tang Shunzhi's style of play is more orthodox, and the treasure ship battle group faces the enemy head-on, and retreats and fights. Wang Zhi and Xu Hai's fleet play is more pirate-oriented, flickering far and near, interspersed with tactics.

The fleets of various countries put together by the Ming Federation are mainly a seam. None of them had a large fleet and did not conduct particularly formal naval battles.

But they cleverly took advantage of the small speed of their ships to find soft persimmons that were obviously mainly transport ships with few guns on board.

If you pick the right opponent, you will hit it hard, and if you find that you have picked the wrong opponent, you will turn around and run. Resolutely do not give the boats a chance to jump into the gang.

The combined fleet of Franco, Japan, and the fleet of the Ming Federation were less than two hours away from the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

The ships of both sides were hit by shells and sank, but the losses on the Japanese side were clearly heavier because they had too many people on their ships.

The same sinking ship, the sailors of the Ming Federation jumped into the sea no more than 100 people, while the Japanese side had to jump thousands of people.

On the vast sea, like dumplings, the people who fell into the water splashed everywhere, and Andrei suddenly realized at this time.

Although the strength of the Daming Water Division is slightly weaker, it is by no means impossible to fight, but they have always been hiding far away and refusing to fight.

They were just waiting for the Japanese to transport troops, and as soon as the ship was full of Japanese pirates, they rushed over and fought desperately. Even if it is a jade burn, it will not hesitate.

Even if the sailors on both sides are exhausted, the Japanese side will have to lose hundreds of thousands of additional troops! It's a fucking good game!

When the troops were transported in front, they had not yet come to fight, probably because the Ming Federation had just been established, and it would take time for the subject countries to coordinate the ship.

When this second wave of troops was transported, the Daming Water Division rushed over for a decisive battle, no matter what, this wave of salty ribbon fish was caught up!

After figuring out the thoughts of the Daming sailors, Andre made a quick decision and immediately ordered all the ships to turn around and charge towards the Daming coast at full speed.

Learn the fighting style of the Daming sailors, and retreat and fight, as long as you can reach the coast after two hours, you can successfully unload the cargo and unload more than 200,000 Japanese invaders.

At that time, the ship-to-empty ship, the muscles of the Francophone sailors will be able to exert their power again, and with the fast speed of the ship's strong guns, it is still certain to defeat the Daming sailors!

Even if the other party can't be defeated, whether to fight or go, the initiative is also on the faster side.

The worst result is that both sides will lose and lose, and they will not let the more than 200,000 Japanese robbers drown in the sea in vain!

Having received the order, the Franc-Japanese combined fleet, turned around and frantically rushed towards the distant coast. The combat power was weak, the ships with a large number of people ran first, and the most powerful battleships of the Francos were broken.

Tang Shunzhi noticed Andre's movement for the first time, and couldn't help but secretly praise his opponent, which was really extraordinary.

He immediately asked the sailors to raise the flag and ordered all to charge, making sure to hold off their opponents and prevent them from coming to shore.

Wang Zhi and Xu Hai's fleet ran faster than Tang Shunzhi's treasure ship battle group, and they advanced parallel to the Franco-Japanese combined fleet, flanking left and right.

Andrei ordered the Franc battleships to fire intensively at the flagships of the flanks on both sides, hoping to take advantage of the slight advantage in range to capture the thief and capture the king.

In naval warfare, the flagship of a fleet is equivalent to the leading commander on land, and if it can capture the flag, the fleet will fall into chaos and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

This gambling style of play actually won the jackpot unexpectedly, Xu Hai was so meritorious that he chased too closely, and the flagship was hit by the dense fire of the Andre battleship in the bottom position.

The bottom compartment is where the human engine composed of sailors is located, and this cannon not only killed many rowing sailors, but also directly caused the flagship to lose power.

The most terrifying thing was that because the big hole was too low, and without waiting for the sailors to repair it, the sea water quickly poured into the ship, and Xu Hai's flagship slowly fell and sank to the bottom of the sea slowly but irreversibly.

The ships that followed behind immediately rushed up to meet Xu Hai and the sailors on the deck. But having lost the flagship, the combat effectiveness of the fleet on this road suddenly declined.

Andrei was overjoyed, knowing that this side was not to be worried, and immediately ordered to concentrate fire on Wang Zhi's fleet.

As long as Wang Zhi's fleet is scattered, there will be no more obstacles between him and the Daming coast!

After another hour and a half, the fleet will be able to dock and unload!

"Comrades, keep urging the change!"
