The fleet continued to advance on the strong southerly wind, and about 8 miles from Hiwa Sagaura, the Shogunate pirates saw the huge ship formation of the shogunate navy. In front of the formation, countless small ships were chasing each other, some of them burning, and thick smoke filled the sea.

A few horseshoe crabs were speeding towards the boatman, and dozens of small early boats were chasing after them. The horseshoe crab screw's excellent headwind performance played a role, and the boat was so fast that Xiao Zao couldn't catch up at all.

Chongwen visually measured that the main formation of the shogunate navy was about 5 li wide and 2 li thick, and it was a horizontal matrix of 10 li square, densely packed like a big beehive. The right wing of this huge matrix is about 7 or 8 miles from the coast, and the left wing is the open sea, which is coming against the wind, and countless long oars are rowing vigorously, like a thousand centipedes of all sizes wriggling on the sea.

There are more than 10 large and slow Ataku ships in front of the shogunate's naval array, and there are iron-clad ship castles, which look very sturdy. The dhow sails on the terrace were small, the main power was the dense oars on both sides, and the hull was too fragile to withstand the ramming.

The boat formation of the boat division is a longitudinal matrix, with only 7 boats on the front, 30 steps between the two adjacent ships, and only more than 200 steps on the front, and the distance is too far, which is very thin. According to normal naval warfare, this kind of formation is very stupid, and the front will scatter as soon as it rushes, and the two wings will be outflanked in a roundabout way.

However, Chongwen believed that a sharp cannon would turn a thin ship formation into a sharp blade, cutting the enemy formation into several sections.

The first horizontal team of the bureau matrix is all sentry and leading sentry, all equipped with 4-5 bronze guns, of which the bow is a 500-pound big hair, and each ship has at least 30 turtledove horns, and the firepower is the fiercest. At this time, the small morning boat pursued the cannon, and it was already approaching the 3 or 40 steps distance of the matrix.

Chongwen waved his hand, and the war drums on the Anointed Blood Bird boat rumbled, and the guns of the boat division fired in unison, the sound shook the sea, and the thick white smoke instantly covered a large area of the sea.

The small hayaboat was immediately baptized by the steel rainstorm, especially the 4 catties of iron bullets, which shattered the side and deck of the small haya, and the shield wall was torn to pieces like pieces of paper.

The distance was too close, the wind was very strong and the smoke was dispersed, and the gunners of the boat division were frightened when they saw the servants being beaten into pulp. Most of these gunners were fierce fishermen recruited from the coast of Dakang by the second voyage, and after the whole training on Fukue Island, they learned to handle guns and guns, but the tragic situation of iron smashing people was the first time they saw it, and they themselves were frightened.

A round of artillery fire knocked the shogunate's naval advance to pieces, and the rest of the small hayafune scurried around like frightened rats. Even the gunners of the boat division were frightened by the fierce artillery fire, and these pirates of the same country were even more frightened, only hating their father and mother for missing a pair of wings, and just wanted to escape from these terrifying iron rain.

Li Qiqian, the cannon, climbed onto the Blood-Anointing Bird ship and reported loudly to Chongwen: "The enemy ships have left the port to engage in battle, and they have not left a single boat in Japan and Saura. I saw the Awaji Water Army, the Shio Satsu Water Army, the Kurushima Murakami, the Innoshima Village Army, the Hosokawa Water Army, the Kono Water Army, the Manabe Water Army, the Otomo Water Army, the Shimotsui Water Army, and the Kasennuma Water Army.

In addition to the Awa Navy that was annihilated by us, there are also 10 naval flags, 1,000 large and small ships, including 12 Ataku ships, more than 400 Guan ships, and nearly 30,000 sailors. The enemy is lined with large ships in front, small ships in the rear, and Ataka ships in the center, all of which are closed in the front, and Kohaya ships on both wings and in the rear.

Remind the big to go to sea, the ship on the deck of their house ship is covered with iron sheets, which is very strong, although it is difficult to resist iron bullets, but it seems to be able to block the turtledove horn gun. ”

Haili Qinglin Yanghao laughed and said: "Mother, so what, he has no chance to fight us head-on, he will only be beaten by us, no matter how strong the armor is, it is useless." However, this Hosokawa Lai Feng is stronger than Anzhai Dongkang, he didn't shrink back, this is to work hard with us head-on. ”

Chongwen frowned and said, "Maybe it's because he got the information that his small boat can't withstand my boatmaster's cannons." He wanted to use the big armored ship against our front, and quickly close the ship to outflank us, and jump from our side. He thought that our weakness was on the side of the ship, but he did not know that our big guns had artillery carriages, and firing on both sides was our normal method of warfare. ”

Hai Liqing smiled: "Then he is very wrong, we never wanted to face them face to face, we want to cut them into several pieces, and today we will open up foreign meat for these barbarians." ”

Chongwen laughed and said: "Exactly! Yizheng, drumming, drumming, Ah Shun, prepare to turn the rudder, the big drama is about to begin! Ah Gan, don't stay here, take your people to join the guerrillas on the East Road, and protect your war horses!"

"Whoa!"

The drums of the flagship's second pass were raised, and the guerrillas of the Boat Division, consisting of Danzaemon, Shihisa Kayama, and the baggage fleet, turned east and sailed to the open sea, trying to avoid the onslaught of the left flank of the Kaifu naval army. Because the shogunate's naval forces were fighting against the wind and the speed of the ships was not fast, the guerrillas' maneuvers to the Koin position would quickly avoid the enemy position, which would give the enemy the illusion that a boat division had fled.

The three drums sounded, and the main formation of the boat division began to slow down, and only the two sentinel fleets on the left and right flanks accelerated forward and attacked the two wings of the main formation of the shogunate naval army diagonally. The rest of the sentinels fluttered their battle flags, followed by the tail of these two sentinels, and gradually formed a diagonal two-way column, like a flock of geese flying high in the sky in autumn.

It was a figure-of-eight queue that would split the huge shogunate ship formation into three parts once the wind swept into the shogunate's navy. Of course, the shogunate's navy would also surround the thin front of the Shogunate from three sides, and if they didn't break through this net, the Shogunate would become an insect entangled in cobwebs and unable to move.

Chongwen believed in the strength of the Anointing Blood Bird Ship, believed in the advantage of attacking with the wind, believed in the experience of the Fire Head General Shun, and he believed that the third woman would bless him to open a bloody road.

Everything depends on speed, and for the sake of speed, Chongwen is determined to sacrifice everything.

Chongwen's pre-war agitation was very successful, and the boatmaster pirates suddenly felt that what they were doing was not only a few Australian deals, but a great cause like the son of Shenwu. This is too exciting, don't work hard at this time, when will you stay?

Haili Qinglin Yanghao pointed to the enemy formation and said: "Hosokawa Laifeng wants to oppress us with a dense ship formation, and his Da'an house ships can't turn around at all, and according to the strategy of going to sea, break through their ship formation, and our boat division will win!"

Chongwen stood on the balcony of the stern tower, and said without looking back: "Yizheng, immediately send people to give orders to all sentinels, the enemy is outnumbered, and the success or failure lies in the success of our division through the enemy formation, and we must not fall in love." If any of our ships are surrounded by the enemy, the rest of the ships are not to be rescued, and the rear team is to spare the battle and move on. Breaking through the enemy line and rushing behind the enemy line is the greatest support for friendly forces. ”

Kayama Yoshimasa replied, "Yes!"

The Hosokawa naval army also slowly pressed over, 200 paces away from the enemy ship, and the Bloodbird ship opened fire first. A 4-pound iron bullet broke through the sail canopy of an enemy ship, brushed a closed ship behind it and fell diagonally into the sea, cutting off the upturned timber on the bow of the ship, and the sail rope tied to the timber tore a piece of sail canopy, and several sailors were taken into the sea screaming.

Lin Yanghao stood on the terrace and rushed to the deck and scolded: "Such a dense ship formation can't hit, a group of pickled and spine-beating talents, blind and blind, reloading into the mother, listen to my password to aim and fight again!"

After running to the two doors of the terrace, he personally corrected the angle of the shot, and shouted the order to fire.

At a distance of 160 paces, an iron bullet struck the oarsman's cabin of a closed ship, crossed the entire cabin, and slanted out of the waterline on the other side of the ship, making a hole the size of a basin, and the sea rushed in. More than 10 oarsmen were killed and wounded, flesh and blood were flying, and the seriously injured and dying oarsmen rolled in the cabin with a miserable cry, like hell on earth. The ship immediately stalled, struggling against the headwind.

Another 2 and a half pounds of iron bullets shattered a piece of the city, and the iron bullets raged among the servants behind the wooden wall, and the broken wood flew everywhere, accompanied by broken flesh and broken bones, and the screams of the servants even sounded a hundred steps away from the bloody bird boat.

The Bloodbird ship was flying as if it were on the sea, and the chief soldier roared loudly in the compass cabin, not avoiding a possible collision at all, and Hai Liqing shouted loudly to change the shotgun and prepare for the next round of shooting.

60 paces away from the enemy ship, from the sides of the canopy on both sides of the Anointed Bird ship, you can see the main mast of the damaged enemy ship. Chongwen took the bow from the back in his hand, put on a carved arrow, opened the bow and released the arrow, and the arrow hit the flag on the main mast, and the flag with the words on the word of the Murakami Navy Pill fell in response.

The Bloodbird Boat erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and the morale of the boatmen was greatly shaken.

Chongwen shouted loudly: "Brothers, you are about to crash into an enemy ship, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Chongwen laughed and shouted: "Okay! Hold it tight, the servants are already scared, let's go it! Thousands of troops, in front of us is the local chicken tile dog, hahahaha, today you are the hell judge of the mother, kill it, take those trembling little devils on the other side, come on, the guys who steal chickens and touch dogs, hahahaha... ”

The frenzied shouts echoed over the Bloodbird ship, calming the Dakang fishermen who had participated in the Great War for the first time. The cry has infinite power, it comes from the depths of the ocean, it is conceived from the storms and strange rocks, and it carries with it a magic that sweeps all things.

More than half of the wounded ship on the opposite side was killed or wounded, the hull was damaged, a large amount of water was flooded, tilted to one side, and most of the sail canopy collapsed. The helmsman was already frightened, and he just wanted to escape from the frantically rushing Bloodbird ship on the opposite side, and he slammed the rudder lever, and the bow turned violently to one side, crashing into another gate.

The servants who witnessed the scene screamed hysterically.
