Hisataka Kayama was standing in the bow of the ship before the cannon fired, but as soon as the cannon sounded, he was thrown to the ground, and he had absolutely no struggle, not at all like a samurai!

Just as he fell to the ground, the crackling of buckshot embedded in the plank, and the screams of the soldiers rang out almost simultaneously! Lying on the ground, Birch Mountain Jiugao turned his head vigorously to look, only to see more than half of the more than 20 soldiers on the open deck falling, half of them were motionless and should have died, and the rest were still squirming and struggling in a pool of blood!

Then he heard the sound of cannon not far away, and then he felt the hull of the ship shake suddenly! He knew that it was the opposing ship bombarding the building at his feet. And he was lying on the ground, and he could clearly hear the faint screams and cries of the soldiers in the ship building below him!

Hearing this series of screams, Birch Mountain Hisataka was like a knife! Because this time he brought all the elite soldiers, especially the elite power of the Huashan family loaded in his own ship! Such a large-scale death and injury will greatly damage the vitality of one's own family, and it may even collapse at once!

However, the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and just when he heard that the enemy's shelling had stopped, and wanted to struggle to get up, the person who pressed on his back said loudly: "Your Excellency, General, you must not get up now! The second warship of the Ming people has come over!"

However, Hisakama still felt that lying on the ground was really detrimental to the dignity of the general, so he still struggled to sit up, leaning against the side of the ship and peeking out!

I saw a huge warship on my right side cutting towards my starboard side! He knew that the right side of the ship, which had not been hit, was about to be shelled! Then he saw a third cruiser approaching not far away, cutting to the left of his ship.

Fortunately, he was still conscious, and with the help of the samurai, he leaned over to the right side of the ship. If he still stays on the left, there is a good chance that he will be hit by a shotgun from the right sweeping deck! And predictably, after the other side has finished shooting at him, he will have to climb back to the left to avoid the third blow!

After such a toss, Hidaka Kayama felt that his dignity as a samurai was gone! And worse than the loss of samurai dignity, he had already foreseen the defeat of this naval battle!

He knew that as long as these three big ships cut back and forth in his own fleet a few times, they could cut their own formation into a mess, and at the same time, the dense artillery would bring great damage to the personnel on board! Later, when they fight other Ming ships, they will be outclassed!

And it doesn't matter if he fails, but he buried the elite of all the sailors of the Shimazu family, which is an unforgivable mistake, and probably only seppuku can be compensated!

While he was thinking, the second cruiser had already approached and began shelling at his seated ship! In the same order, first sweep the open deck with shotguns, and then move on to strike at the others that come out!

The soldiers who were still alive on the open deck had already obediently hid behind the side of the ship, so this round of shotguns did not cause any damage, but only killed all the dying soldiers on the deck!

It's a different story in the shipyard! After Liu Haojia's flagship left, the soldiers who came out were busy rescuing the wounded, and some of the brave soldiers were still trying to find the enemy to fight back, so when the second cruiser cut over from the other side, most of the soldiers who came out didn't know that death was approaching!

It wasn't until the shells hit the hull and crashed through the planks into the crowd that they knew that another ship was approaching!

This round of shelling caused great damage to the soldiers in the shipyard and plunged the soldiers into complete chaos! The samurai who commanded inside had his right arm, which had been knocked off by the shells during the first round of shelling, was already dying, unable to give any commands, and could only watch the soldiers being beaten into meat sauce by the shells one after another in the chaos!

Then the third round of shelling came as scheduled, and once again swept the ship of Biryama from beginning to end! Now the inside of the shipbuilding can be described as a flesh slaughterhouse!

Because there are few artillery pieces in the Wa Kingdom, it is considered a powerful and wealthy man to be able to use a bowl-mouth gun, so the Ataka ship equipped with wooden planks is considered to be thick armor and difficult to break in the Wa Kingdom, but it can't stop the attack of close-range artillery at all! So the attack of the three cruisers alone severely damaged three Shimazu family's main Ataka ships, and slightly damaged two!

Although there are still several Ataka ships on the sea that are undamaged, the blow to their morale is truly incomparable! In the minds of the warriors, the fortress-like Ataka ship was beaten like a toy by the other party, and there were holes all over the body, and there was no power to fight back, no matter how you look at it, there will be no hope of winning this battle!

At this time, Kayama Hisaka had already gotten up from the deck, and he shouted loudly to the people who were still alive around him, "Hurry up and order the people behind to be sure to entangle those three ships!" The other side only has three such large ships, as long as they are entangled, several times the other enemies will not be a problem!"

Hearing his order, the terrified soldiers calmed down a lot and immediately passed the order through the drum and trumpet. Moreover, this order is the same as the task assigned in advance, and no one resists it.

At this time, Liu Haojia's flagship had already rushed out far away, and was about to pass through the opponent's battle line. At this time, seven or eight Guan boats with the same number of small morning boats had already pounced!

Don't look at this new type of warship has an absolute advantage over the Ataku ship, but it doesn't have that much effect on the fast-moving Sekibune and Kohayafri, because their speed is really fast! Coupled with the touching hit rate of the current smoothbore gun, it really can't cause any damage! However, two rounds of fire from the cruiser drove the rushing ships away.

At this time, the detachment following him was already lined up, and following their tracks, they rushed in, cutting the Shimazu fleet in half in one fell swoop! At the same time, the fleet rolled to the left, intending to compress the maneuver space of the Japanese people. The evil widows fought back, and the whole battlefield quickly entered a white-hot stage!

Bows, crossbows, cannons, and firebolts fired at each other, and artillery roared, spitting lead bullets and fire! Gunsmoke began to spread across the battlefield!

After the exchange of fire, the Shimazu fleet struggled to spread out to both flanks without giving the Ming fleet a chance to encircle them, so the battle lines of the two sides soon formed an overlapping U-shape. Moreover, the tactics of the fleets of both sides are very close, that is, to attack the opponent from a distance as much as possible, and strive to inflict heavy damage on the opponent before getting closer, and then fight to the end, I am afraid that it will be a broadside battle!
