Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 344

Huashan Kudaka probably never dreamed that the naval battle he commanded would fail so thoroughly.

He brought the Bushido spirit to the extreme, gave up life and death, and rushed forward recklessly.

Although he gave up the life and death of his subordinates, that is also a manifestation of martial courage!

Why is this the result?

They were unexpectedly surrounded by the Daming Navy, and they couldn't even escape!

More importantly, their suicide charge did not cause any casualties to the Ming army. They didn't even burn a single warship of the Ming Navy, let alone go to the board to snatch other people's ships.

They seem to have been beaten all the time, whether it was a long-distance charge, a desperate rush to close combat, or a reckless rush to seize the boat, the whole process has been beaten, and there is no way to fight back!
It was even worse now, the nearly [-] warships left by them were surrounded by the Daming Navy within a radius of less than ten miles, rushing left and right, and couldn't get out no matter what.

What's even more frightening is that the shells above their heads were like rain, and never stopped. Even the roof of his flagship was almost collapsed by the Ming army's artillery!
Huashan Kugao looked at his own warships that were constantly being sunk all around, with a look of despair on his face.

They really couldn't rush out, because the warships of the Daming Navy were full of iron shields.

No matter which direction they rushed, all they saw was a densely packed shield wall, and they couldn't see the enemy at all.

Whether they set fire at close range or rushed to seize the ship, it had no effect.

There are as many muskets and spears as there are terrifying!

If you want to throw a rocket at close range, throw a kerosene can or something, the musket bullets are like rain, and they will sieve you directly.

If you want to rush up to snatch the boat, their spears are like the spikes on a hedgehog, they are densely packed everywhere, and if you lean on them, you will be pierced with holes all over your body.

Cannonballs were still raining down, the Ming army's encirclement circle was getting tighter and tighter, and the number of warships under his command became less and less.

Even several ironclad ships were smashed by shells, the cabins collapsed, the decks were smashed, and they began to sink.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out!
Huashan Jiugao was really crushed. In despair, he ordered helplessly: "Pull up the white flag, surrender!"

Hey, these pirates are finally scared.

Are you not afraid of death?
come!

I'll do it until you're scared!
At this time, the thousands of warships of the Satsuma Navy Navy had been wiped out, and there were only a hundred left. The sea was full of broken planks, and there were desperately howling Japanese pirates everywhere.

On the side of the Daming Navy, not a single warship was sunk, nor was a single warship set on fire, and there were not even many wounded soldiers.

This is the crushing of absolute strength!

You must know that the Daming Navy has nearly [-] advanced rifled guns, and as many as [-] to [-] flintlock guns. Facing the Satsuma Navy Navy with few guns and guns, it is naturally overwhelming. .

At this time, although the battle on the sea is over, it will take a certain amount of time to receive and salvage the prisoners.

Taichang looked at the broken boards covering the entire sea surface and the wailing Japanese pirates lying on them, and ordered decisively: "Order, order Shen Yourong and Qi Jin to lead the Beiyang Navy Fleet and the Shenji Battalion to gather the prisoners here, clean the battlefield, and order Zhang Yuan Fang and Cao Wenzhao led the fleet of the Dongyang Navy and the soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion to advance northward immediately, heading straight for Tsurumaru City!"

Soon, the Daming Navy was divided into two.

The Beiyang navy stayed where it was, and kept gathering the captives of the Satsuma Navy navy, while the Dongyang navy spread out and headed straight for Tsurumaru Castle in Kagoshima Bay.

At this moment, Shimadzu Iehisa is anxiously waiting for the naval battle report in Tsurumaru Castle.

He really didn't expect that what was waiting was not Huashan's long-awaited clippers, but the fleet of the Daming Navy!
How can it be?

How long has it been since then? How could the Daming Navy have defeated the Satsuma Fan Navy and rushed to the vicinity of Tsurumaru Castle?

Even if the Daming navy defeated their navy, it should be Huashan Jiugao who led the fleet to retreat first!
What about Kawayama Kutaka, and the fleet of the Satsuma Navy Navy?

That's thousands of warships!
Why is none of them missing?
At this moment, Taichang was looking at Tsurumaru Castle on the top of the mountain with a face full of surprise.

He really didn't expect that the Dongying people would actually build a city fortress on the top of the mountain.

This Crane Maru Castle was actually built on the top of a mountain more than thirty feet high!

Fortunately, Dongying didn't build multi-layered bastions. Tsurumaru Castle also had a circle of walls on the top of the mountain, and there were no walls or forts on the mountainside and bottom of the mountain.

How to attack this kind of city?
He frowned and pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Don't go to the Dongyang Navy fleet yet, the flagship will go within two miles of the port to try."

Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Keli couldn't help being dumbfounded when they heard this.

None of them expected that the emperor would personally risk himself.

Yuan Keli couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, although there are no traces of Japanese pirates in the port at the moment, there are obviously artillery muzzles on the city wall of Tsurumaru City. Why don't we send a dragon-tooth warship to try it out?" Bar?"

Of course he knew that Taichang wanted to go up to test the range of Tsurumaru Castle's artillery.

The problem is that there is no coach who personally takes risks!
Not to mention that the coach is still the current emperor.

But Taichang shook his head again and again and said: "No, what if the artillery can bombard the vicinity of the port intensively, wouldn't it be death to send the dragon tooth warship aboard? The Aegis ship is different, and it has not yet been able to break through the Aegis. What about the artillery of the ship's defense, go up and try it."

Well, the [-]-jin Thor II artillery can't hurt the Aegis ship at all. At this moment, there is indeed no artillery that can break through the defense of the Aegis ship.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Keli could only helplessly wave his hand towards the cab, and ordered people to drive the flagship to the vicinity of the port.

As a result, there was naturally no movement. The walls of Tsurumaru Castle were also earthen cannons. Their range was only about two hundred steps, and it was impossible to shoot them into the sea two or three miles away.

The Shimadzu family on the city wall held up binoculars and looked at the unscrupulous Aegis ship approaching, with a look of horror on his face.

What warship is this?
How is it so huge?

And the outside is full of dense iron armor!

He has never seen such a terrifying warship, and the Dutch's building boats and gunboats are not so terrifying!

This is simply a steel monster!
Their iron-clad boats are incomparable to others' iron-clad boats!
Taichang ordered the flagship to wander around the port, but there was no movement in Tsurumaru Castle.

He couldn't help but smiled and said: "It seems that the Dongying people haven't bought the artillery of the Dutch, at least not in Tsurumaru Castle, and ordered all the dragon teeth warships of the Dongyang Navy to adjust their gun angles and come up to bombard the east side of Tsurumaru Castle in turn. the city wall, and flatten the arrow stacks and parapets above it!"

The reason why he came forward to test it himself was to see if the artillery on the wall of Tsurumaru Castle could blast to the sea two or three miles away.

Obviously, people can't.

Since it can't, then there is nothing polite to say, on the Longya battleship, directly blast the city wall!

Of course he wouldn't send his infantry to attack such a mountain city with a height of more than [-] meters, that would be too much loss.

Although the Tsurumaru Castle is high, the rifled guns can still hit it. As long as the distance is pulled in a little bit and the angle of the cannon is raised, it can blast to the east wall of the Tsurumaru Castle.

Directly use artillery to blast the east wall into a bald head, and there is nothing on it, so the pawns can easily rush up.

Soon, 25 dragon teeth warships from the Dongyang Navy came over.

Zhang Yuanfang gave an order, and there was an earth-shattering artillery roar on the sea.

"Boom boom boom boom", 25 dragon tooth warships unleashed their might, and [-] shells rained down on Tsurumaru Castle.

Seeing this, the Shimadzu family was so frightened that they almost fell to the ground.

He finally understood why his naval warships had disappeared.

The firepower of the Daming Navy is too terrifying!

With so many cannons, not to mention wooden warships, a city wall built of stones can't hold it!

More than 1000 shells hit, not only the arrow butts and parapets on the city wall were smashed to pieces, but many houses in the city were smashed with holes everywhere by the flying shells.

Shimadzu Jiajiu thought that the Ming army, like them, had to reload ammunition for a while before they could continue firing.

With lingering fear in his heart, he poked his head out, staring at the more than twenty giant ships on the sea with a face full of horror, and he didn't know how many messy thoughts popped up in his mind.

What is Ming Jun trying to do?
Demonstration?
What can they do?

Also fire a few shots to fight back?
The problem is that their artillery can't blast that far!

He was thinking wildly, "Boom, boom, boom", there was another terrible roar of artillery, and another pile of cannonballs smashed towards him.

How can this be?

Doesn't it take time for the Ming army to load ammunition?

The Shimadzu family was dumbfounded for a long time.

At this moment, the Ming army did not need much time to reload ammunition. The terrible roar of artillery was continuous, and the arrow buttresses and parapets on the city wall were peeling off layer by layer at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After ten rounds of shelling, many arrow butts were smashed, and the east wall of Tsurumaru Castle was like a dog chewing on it, with gaps everywhere.

The Shimadzu family thought for a long time that the Ming army had run out of shells.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army's building and gunboats just turned around, and then started again.

"Boom boom boom boom"!
"Boom boom boom boom"!
The terrible roar of artillery seemed to be endless, and it kept ringing. The arrow stacks on the city wall were flattened in a short time, and the parapet was also riddled with holes.

Hisashi Shimadzu was fucked to the point of collapse.

Before they launched the charge, there were already heavy casualties on the city wall.

If the Ming army continues to bombard like this, let alone the female wall, the city wall may be bombed down!

Their city wall is not as thick as Ming's city wall, and the top of the city wall is less than ten feet wide. With the continuous bombardment of their artillery, the city wall may really collapse.

There is no way to fight this battle!
He looked desperately at the battered city wall, and at his subordinates who were constantly being smashed to the ground, and could only order helplessly: "Quick, retreat, withdraw the artillery of the Ming army!" bombardment range!"
