Chapter 40 Allied Forces

There are many boats!"

On the old single artillery deck shark boat with a stern tower, Long Junxiong was wearing a Nanyang breastplate, a hat-ridden helmet, and was dressed like the Ming army general flag. In fact, he had been sealed with the commander of the General of the Sea of ​​Shanyang Road and controlled the coastal soldiers.

At this time, he stood in the stern building, holding a brass telescope, looking at the Oda navy, who was waiting for the distant coast.

His car was an old ship in Nanyang, but in terms of the launch year, it was far from old. The thick material of the ship board can block lead-sized feather arrows. The ship type that was used for the first time was also allowed to carry out the volley of eight cannons on the side of the ship. Although it was far less than the so-called Six Dings and Sixteen cannons, its 500-material shape and sixteen cannons were enough to shock all enemies in this sea area.

Behind the five old shark boats, there are more than 200 Japanese offshore and inland warships, of which the small early ships with a length of seven or eight steps are the least, most of which are the Guan Shi ships with a length of ten to seventeen steps. This is the backbone of the Japanese naval battle. They usually have larger sizes of Anzaka ships, which have an invincible advantage in close-range jumping.

But Long Junxiong did not have an Anzhai ship. These Japanese ships under his command were all warships seized by Chen Bazhi after leading Western Daming to expel Maori. In order to make up for the disadvantage of jumping battles, he still had eight three-massed Dafu in his formation, which was originally a grain ship.

The East Asian ship system belongs to this era, and Dafu and Anzhai are very different. The Fu ship was developed based on sea ships in the Song Dynasty; the shape of ships such as Xiaozao, Shuo and Anzhai basically did not develop except for large size. The small early ship was expanded from canoes, Guanzhai built a small house on Xiaozao boat, and Anzhai built a large house on a larger small early ship.

This kind of ship has a good shape, and its only disadvantage is that it has been used for too long. In the Battle of Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty, Japan used this ship, and it was still this ship to attack Mongolia, and the trade with the Ming Dynasty's Kanhe trade was still this ship. Now... old friends have appeared again.

The Anzhai ship has more troops to carry, but the integrated sailing determines that it needs more helmsman. Japanese warships do not benefit from the water battle, but once the water battle turns from water battle to hand-to-hand combat with jumping ships and swords, the advantage appears.

The Dafu ship carried a few soldiers, but the sailboat car needed less than ten people, which was even more worry-free. Moreover, Long Junxiong also added two light Franc aircraft to the Fu ship, which was already doing his best to arm it.

However, although the shapes are different, the purpose of the two ships is the same, both for jumping and fire fighting at sea.

Seven or eight miles apart, Long Junxiong narrowed his eyes and observed the coast and said, "Oda will not have only a hundred ships, and there will be other ambushers in the mouth of the river. People gathered on the shore. They want to lure us into it, so send orders!"

"The four naval forces fought on their own after the war, blocking Osaka Bay and fighting to the death with the enemy. Everyone claims to be the strong generals of the Western Navy. Let us see our abilities!"

Putting away the telescope, Long Junxiong smiled tilted his lips. He wanted to annihilate all the forces of the Oda clan on the sea in one battle. The enemy wanted to seduce him, and he also wanted to seduce the enemy... He was born as a Japanese pirate and had no clever battle strategies, but he had some people to seduce him. Four fleets of 200 ships of size, although he didn't have many ships on his hands, but his combat power was stronger than four or five hundred ships.

Before he took over these naval armies, the four naval armies distributed in Daming in various parts of the Western country were similar to Japanese pirates. The main ships were all small morning ships. More than ten war soldiers on the ship could cause trouble and attack hundreds of ships at any time. The troops seemed to be in a magnificent manner, but in fact they were less than two thousand.

After all, it was the personal soldiers who followed Chen Mu and were influenced by Chen Mu's arrangement of the Ming Navy. Now his small boats have been divided into communication boats. The main warships are all gate ships carrying dozens of troops, reorganizing their military strength, greatly enhancing the combat power of the navy composed of naval troops.

Of course, the most fundamental purpose of this reorganization is to strengthen the ability to deliver troops. Any Ming general who has fought in Japan will understand that the navy cannot achieve decisive results when fighting in the island area. The real victory or defeat depends on the army, and Long Junxiong is no exception - his navy has a total of 6,000 troops!

Following the military order, a small morning ship powered by oars and oars shuttled between the battle formations. The Murakami Navy, who was surrendered by the Maori family, moved closer to the left wing and prepared to attack the enemy's strong garrison of the Kitsuguchi River.

The Nizi family Yinqi Navy and Otomo Navy Army soldier company the right wing, and went around the side of Ishiyama toward more than 80 ships of all sizes and sizes, blocking Osaka Bay from the outside.

"Don't fire the cannon. Let's slowly move towards the left wing with the upper half of the sail. When the enemy approaches, Dafu will intercept it!"

Takatsuo speculated that the Oda naval army should have ambush at Kizukawaguchi, but he was fearless and followed the Murakami naval army and the Matsuura Japanese pirates to the left. The central army composed of his twelve gunboats also slowly approached.

He had a telescope, which could make the observation clearer, but the generals of the Oda navy were not blind. There were twelve giant ships, regardless of the shark ship or the blessed ship. The length of more than twenty steps was already huge ships here. The huge shadows advanced to the right-wing ambush circle, which pose a great threat to people.

The generals of the Oda Navy Army had a headache. They also had more than 200 ships, but only more than ten ships could be called Daguan. They were on board for the leaders of each team. There were countless other small ships and Xiaoguan ships, but in this situation... the front-line Iga guards retreated without fighting. The Maguma Master, who was responsible for blocking Osaka Bay, was blocked, and the circle of troops was getting smaller and smaller.

They had already suffered such a loss once. Just last year, six Ming ships brought a team of grain ships to Ishiyama to transport grain. The Oda navy that arrived at the beginning had only three large ships. They led a group of small dawn ships to attack the shark ships, so they had to intercept the grain ships in the Awaji Strait. As a result, they were repelled by Dafuku, who was a grain ship, and two large ships were burned.

This time, I received the news in a timely manner and quickly assembled nearly 300 warships. But when they assembled the Ming army, they simply assembled more than 200 large and small ships. It seemed that this battle could no longer be decided at sea.

The sea area was constantly compressed by huge shadows, giving the Oda Navy team a greater contact space - they were almost face-to-face, just shout it out if you have something to do!

The troops shouted in a hurry, and the sea was in chaos. Seeing that the war was about to be defeated before it even started, Igamoto and Okumamoto, who had returned to Tsuguchi, agreed on tactics: "Drag on, wait for Nobunaga to gather troops and lead them to land and fight!"

The Murakami navy didn't care about that. Before the battle, Takatoshi Tsubaki gave them the guide to the local area according to the Warring States tradition and imitated the daimyo such as Oda, Takeda, Uesugi and others to establish the power of "hunting" and "random capture". As long as the enemy is defeated, their poor navy can fight for wealth.

In just a moment, the Murakami navy, with seven Daguan ships as the vanguard, and more than 40 large and large warships, led by Murakami Bukit, faced the unavoidable Nuno team. The ships of both sides first shot at each other with fierce bows and iron cannons, and then they collided fiercely. The Makuro team, as the back of Oda, had led the fleet to attack Murakami's flank.
