Yuto Mikami hasn't moved yet, and there has already been action on the port side. As one of the more important ports in Toei, there are some shogunate sailors stationed here all year round. However, the current shogunate's manufacturing capacity is not very strong. This is also due to the previous civil war, and Dongying's manpower has regressed a lot. There was not enough manpower, and in this era it was naturally impossible to replace the equipment of the battleship. So, there are only thirty small boats here, and there are five real anchor ships.

There was only one small-caliber six-pounder gun on the boat, but the Ataka had three twelve-pounder guns and seven six-pounder guns. Some were obtained from the Dutch, Portuguese, and Spaniards, and some were copied by themselves. Of course, it is possible to open fire, but this hit rate is really not guaranteed. The shogunate also failed to train qualified sailors, and these ship-driving Toei people learned more skills from the pirate group.

The naval battles of pirates and the naval battles of regular navies are completely different things, one for the purpose of looting property and the other for the purpose of defeating the enemy. The different objectives resulted in different ways of fighting, and the pirates also had to worry about damaging the target ship and causing their belongings to fall into the sea. The regular army is the first to be set on fire to which ship is the most threatening. There are five Ataku ships, which are among the thirty large and small offshore ships. So, they were first discovered by Cameron and Adam.

Together, the two commanders ordered, and all thirty battleships turned their guns to them. Slowly approaching the firing range, at a distance of eight hundred meters, concentrated fire began. Casting a wide net to catch more fish, the first wave of attacks on the three Ataka ships took one or two shells each. This is not too bad, especially for a sail fleet that is not equipped with fire control equipment and the crew is mostly new recruits. Even with only one or two shells, the five Ataka ships were inflicted only slightly worse than fatal injuries.

With the firelight flying wooden blocks and wailing sailors, the speed of the three Ataka ships suddenly slowed down. The speed of the target has decreased, the difficulty of aiming has been reduced by half, and the recruits of the fleet are extremely excited, this is the first regular naval battle they have fought in the navy, and they have to work hard. Within three minutes, the second shelling came again, and the same means of casting a wide net to catch more fish were used, and two more explosions occurred on the five Ataka boats, which began to sink slowly.

This tactic is only suitable when the difference in strength between the two sides is obvious. These ships of the Dongying people, except for these three Ataka ships that may pose a threat to the clippers, the other small boats are completely ignored by Cameron and them. Even if they were to be put in close range to shoot, they would not pose much of a threat to the armor of the clippers. Because the boat was low, it was difficult for them to even break the sails of the ship. This is also the norm here, and it is also the bad head brought by Huaxia.

Huaxia has always mainly developed inland river warships, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was supposed to get rid of this restriction, but it was pushed back by a paper ban on the sea. Later, the Qing Dynasty also imposed a ban on the sea, and there was no breakthrough in warship technology. On the one hand, without such a big brother as Huaxia, there was no place for other Goryeo Dongying to acquire advanced ship technology. In the future, without the strong naval oppression of China, these countries would not pay so much attention to the research of naval warships, and the investment would not be enough.

There were thirty small boats left, and they were also stunned at this time. Their main battleship was sent to the bottom of the sea by the enemy in less than ten minutes after the start of the battle, and these ships were only used to fight auxiliary ships, and there was no way to take the enemy's fleet at all. Stunned for a moment, watching Cameron and their rapid approach, the sailors on these ships screamed and immediately drove the ships away from here. They would rather be deserters than stay here to face the mighty fleet that Cameron had brought with them.

Similarly, Yuto Mikami, who saw the entire process of the naval battle at the watchtower at the head of the city, was directly frightened and stopped the troops below who were preparing to go out of the city to support. The enemy's artillery exploded everywhere, and he could not imagine the terrible situation that such a weapon would cause on their flesh. Fortunately, they were in the city, and as expected, they would not be attacked by the guns of the battleships. Yuto Mikami immediately commanded his subordinates and began to set up defenses on the city walls. One by one, the iron cannons came to the head of the city and chose their own firing position.

And the long ashigaru also put down their spears, picked up the bows and arrows in stock, and went to the castle as a supplement to the firing power of the iron cannon ashigaru. Yuto Mikami didn't see any armor on the soldiers of the fleet, but rather blue or black clothes, so he had a batch of bows and arrows come out. Cameron and the others were not attacked by the Dongying until they landed, and two converted cruisers escorted the transports of the Xinghanhui and began to enter the port.

The transport ship lowered its pedals, and the soldiers of the Xinghan Society landed in an orderly manner under the leadership of Lin Xin's second-in-command, Wei Ming. Slowly, more pedals were lowered, and the artillery began to disembark. The other ship, with their cannon pull down, was a sturdy mule. Half an hour later, the 2,000 soldiers of the Xinghan Society completed the formation in the already empty port. It was also the first time that they had carried out a landing operation, and it was good that they did not drop their artillery into the sea, and they really couldn't have too high requirements in terms of speed.

Mikami Yuto also wanted to take advantage of this time to eliminate cavalry attacks on them, but in front of two converted cruisers that were more than twice the size of the Ataka ship, he decisively coerced. Mikami Yuto watched as the people of the Xinghan Society brought down a terrible cannon, and his heart slowly sank to the bottom. So many artillery, still glowing black, look better than the garbage in their city. Yuto Mikami was a little unsure, so he sent cavalry to the nearby Sado gold mine to deliver a message, wanting to let the 1,000 elite troops come over and defend together.

Without Aikawa Castle, they wouldn't have had a good time above. At least one, there is no place for nearby supplies, and they have nothing to eat or drink. There was no gold, no food or water, and they all had to die on it. Instead of being trapped and dying and being easily cleaned up by others, it is better to fight hard with them in Aikawa Castle. He believed that where the leader, his friend Hayato Watanabe, would definitely be able to think of this.

The soldiers of the Xinghan Society were not in a hurry to attack, but Wei Ming followed Lin Xin before he was captured and sent to North America. In North America, he received the company's systematic education, and has already changed from an ordinary fisherman's child to a qualified commander. He knew that at this time, Aikawa Castle was heavily defended, and the enemy was hiding at the head of the city and waiting for them to arrive. The so-called one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. By this time, the morale of the enemy was at exactly the highest level.

When they are grinding for a few hours, and the hearts of these people are all worn out, it will be easy to fight. As for the enemy's reinforcements, they must only have a thousand men in the gold mines. Wei Ming also wished that they would enter Xiangchuan City with people. In this way, he will be able to wipe out all the enemies on Sado Island. There will be no situation where they will flee into the gold mines, hurt the miners and fight guerrilla warfare. It just so happened that some of the 2,000 people were still in a state of seasickness.

The conditions of the Xinghan Society are not very good, and it is impossible to train everyone to be proficient in water. It is quite normal for some recruits to have this reaction, Wei Ming asked people to prepare hot water for them, as long as they recover for a few hours, there will be nothing to do. The bullets and shells were also brought down by the people who did not suffer from seasickness, and the wagons found from the harbor and the wagons assembled by themselves became the equipment for transporting them. The soldiers began to check the condition of their guns, artillery and gunpowder to make sure that there were no surprises after the battle began.

Four hours later, Yuto Mikami was already waiting very impatiently. It was summer, and it wasn't very cool, and after three hours in the city under the sun, he felt like his strength was going to run out. Not only him, but the three thousand warriors under his command were in a similar state at this time. Some people have already pulled out their rice balls and started to replenish their lost energy. The only good news is that Watanabe Hayato has entered Aikawa Castle with his army, and he will be able to come over and cooperate with them in defense in ten minutes.

At this time, the Xinghan Society completed the repair, and the warriors were restored to good condition. Wei Ming gave the order and began to attack. Two thousand men and dozens of mules began to advance towards Xiangchuan Castle in an orderly but speedy manner. A thousand meters away, everyone stopped. The batch of artillery sold to Lin Xin are all artillery that the company has improved to the most perfect state. At this distance, it is enough to exert their power. The lack of artillery can only give the infantry a little more help.

As soon as the gun was fixed, the angle of fire began to be adjusted. Inherited from Xiao Lin's technique of determining firing parameters, the landing point of these front-loading rifled guns can be concentrated into a circular area with a diameter of 50 meters, which is enough to open an entrance to Kagawa Castle for the soldiers. The front-loading rifled gun is worthy of being the most powerful artillery except for the rear-loading gun, and when it fires, it is also earth-shattering. Thirty large and small solid steel cannonballs hit the city wall, and there was a loud bang, and Ashigaru could easily see the cracks on the city wall.

The ashigaru fled in horror from the area where the rift was located, and even crawled out on the corpses of their comrades who had been killed in the shelling. The scene alarmed the samurai who were in command, and Yuto Mikami received the news in a short time. He realized that the enemy was going to open a gap with artillery. Before he could command, the second round of shelling had arrived, the walls began to crumble, and Ashigaru, who had not had time to escape, was suddenly shaken to death. Yuto Mikami hurriedly asked Watanabe Hayato's troops to go behind the gap to set up defenses, but fortunately they didn't come up.
