Chapter 464 Chapter 460 Six Bombardment of Osaka
escape?It is absolutely impossible to escape, even though Mu Chuanyouhe's order was given in time, a group of Japanese sailors showed the strength of breastfeeding, desperately raised the full sail, and rowed hard oars, trying to escape from birth, but in front of the large fleet of the Qing army that was killing at high speed, all efforts were in vain. Unless the ships of the Japanese Navy can only grow wings, otherwise, the distance from the shore of more than forty miles It is the last journey of the Japanese navy fleet.

"Siege!"

Facing the chaotic Japanese Navy Fleet, Old Shisan didn't say much, just spit out two words expressionlessly, and then handed over the specific command to Sun Mingxu, the Admiral of the Navy, nothing else, Although the old thirteen has some understanding of naval warfare, he knows that he is far less professional than Sun Mingxu in the application of specific tactics. Thirteen still resisted the urge to leave the professional work to professional people. As for himself, he stood on the tall bridge of the flagship "Zhenwu" with a relaxed expression, watching with great interest. With this one-sided massacre.

"Order: The first and second squadrons turn to the left, the third and fourth squadrons outflank from the right, drive the pirates to the center, and the rest of the squadrons follow and pursue, without missing a single pirate ship!"

Although Sun Mingxu has been in the Qingshui Division for many years, and has built this powerful navy with his own hands, he has practiced various naval tactics on weekdays, but when it comes to going into battle, it is also the first time. If he is not nervous, That was definitely a lie, but he was nervous, but he gave the order without any hesitation.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

With Sun Mingxu's battle order, the Qing army's main fleet of more than [-] warships immediately divided into three groups. The two large warships on the left were equipped with four medium-sized warships, and the same was true on the right. Both fleets were at full sail and at full speed. Like an off-string arrow, it shot forward as fast as an arrow, and within less than a stick of incense, it blocked the two wings of the Japanese navy fleet, and unceremoniously bombarded the fleeing Japanese navy with naval guns. At the same time, the main force of Sun Mingxu's Chinese army hung behind the Japanese navy without any haste, without firing artillery, and just oppressed the Japanese navy without leaving.

"Surrender, we surrender, don't fight any more!"

In the face of the fierce shelling of the Qing fleet, the Japanese navy who was squeezed into a ball was a group of good living targets, and there was no room for dodge at all. Nearly half of it was sunk, and most of the rest were wounded, and there was no capital to resist at all. In such a field where there was no way to fight and nowhere to escape, Mu Chuanyouhe no longer had the heroic spirit before the expedition. In a panic, he ordered the ships to wave the white flag.

"Order: Don't take any prisoners, sink them all!"

Seeing that the Japanese naval division had already raised the white flag to surrender, the firepower of the two Qing army squadrons on the left and right immediately weakened, obviously planning to surrender. Seeing this, Lao Shisan immediately frowned He got up, waved his hand in displeasure, and gave the order coldly.

"Master, this..."

As the admiral of the navy, Sun Mingxu was standing beside the old thirteen. Hearing the old thirteen's order at this moment, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Excuting an order!"

The old thirteen has never been a soft-hearted person. He knows that in the case of a lonely expedition, his own troops are insufficient, and it is impossible to allocate strength to waste on the captives. Warships are useless to the Qing army. Instead of wasting time taking prisoners, it is better to wipe them out in one fell swoop. After all, the most important thing in a surprise attack is time, and the Qing army really has no reason to waste precious energy and time. Wasted on so many useless prisoners of war, there is no doubt that Sun Mingxu's hesitant attitude is obviously not to the liking of the old thirteen, but the old thirteen didn't get angry or explain, just gave the order blankly.

"twitter!"

Seeing that the old thirteen's voice was not good, Sun Mingxu didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly agreed, and ordered the messengers around him to send the order to all ships. Bombardment, not only that, two squadrons in the main fleet also rushed out at high speed, skillfully drew a semicircle on the sea surface, put on a battle line posture, and greeted the Japanese navy with fierce bombardment. Under the cover of the powerful artillery fire of the three-sided attack, the Japanese navy, which had only about [-] large and small ships left, was no longer lucky. In less than half an hour, it was captured by the Qing fleet. They were all sent to the bottom of the sea like a target, and there were crowds of people on the surface, full of drowned Japanese sailors struggling to survive.

"Order: The follow-up fleet will follow up immediately, leave the fifth and sixth squadrons to wait in place, and the rest of the squadrons will immediately head to the port of Osaka at full speed!"

As soon as the Japanese naval fleet was destroyed, the old thirteen immediately issued an order. In addition to leaving two squadrons to wait for the follow-up troop fleet, he led the main fleet with more than [-] warships to move forward like a rainbow. Pounce on the port of Osaka, which has no cover power...

"Report, Mr. Watanabe, the big Chinese fleet has arrived, and it is less than ten miles away from the port!"

Shen Shi is approaching, and it is almost dusk. In the past, at this time, Ichiro Watanabe was either at a banquet with guests or hanging out with concubines, but today Ichiro Watanabe did not have such a leisurely mood. Like ants on a pot, they were circling around in the lobby of the enforcement office. They were extremely anxious, but they saw a warrior with three small flags on his back rushing in from the entrance of the hall, and rushed to the ferry in a few strides. In front of Bian Yilang, he knelt down on the ground and reported a word in a panic.

"What, where is Mu Chuanyouhe? Where is his fleet? Damn waste, let the Chinese people drive in so long, my lord must kill that idiot!"

Hearing the report from the samurai, Watanabe Ichiro suddenly jumped up, nothing else, because this is the second bad news Watanabe Ichiro received today, as for the first bad news? Naturally, it was an urgent report from Tokugawa Minglan, saying that the three-way coalition failed to attack the Wakayama Fort, and the reinforcements sent by Ichiro Watanabe were all broken. Ichiro Watanabe was already in a bad mood, and when he heard that the large fleet of the Qing army came to cover up and kill him, the hostility in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he did not care about it. Jumping up, he grabbed the armor on the chest of the messenger warrior, and yelled furiously.

"My lord, I haven't seen Lord Mu Chuan's fleet, so I really don't know where it is."

The samurai who came to report the letter was obviously frightened by Watanabe Ichiro's madness, his complexion turned pale in an instant, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only stammered a reply.

"Trash, everything is trash, come here, pass on the orders of my lord, all the warriors gather, and go up to the city to defend!"

Seeing that he couldn't find anything out of the samurai's mouth, Watanabe Ichiro was furious, but he had no choice but to push the samurai to the ground angrily, and put it on the The samurai swords on the side snarled and rushed out of the enforcing office. A group of Japanese warriors who had already gathered at the entrance of the hall for a long time, did not dare to procrastinate, and rushed to follow Watanabe Behind Ichiro...

Osaka Castle is built frequently on the sea, but its city is not built on the seashore, but is still a short distance away from the pier. The frontmost east gate is about [-] steps away from the pier, and there is a stone road connected to the pier , on the east side of the wharf is a warehouse with more than a dozen warehouses. The "Eight Banners Company" warehouse that was robbed at the beginning was the largest three of them. The pier was already empty, and the east gate of Osaka Castle was tightly closed. On the city wall, hundreds of samurai were holding swords in their hands, and they were heavily guarded.

When the main fleet of the Qing army arrived at the sea near the Osaka pier, it did not dock at the pier, nor was it in a hurry to put down the small boat to land on the beach. Instead, it just swam on the sea. The muzzle of the cannon was aiming obliquely at Osaka Castle. The scene was so terrifying that all the Osaka samurai on guard above the city were horrified.

"General Sun, can our naval guns reach the city wall?"

On the tall bridge of the "Zhenwu", the old Shisan took the time to observe the defense facilities of Osaka Castle. After a long time, he asked a question without looking back.

"If you go back to the commander-in-chief, it is enough, but the distance is a little farther, and the hit rate may not be guaranteed."

After Sun Mingxu calculated the distance, he gave the answer cautiously.

"Don't care about the hit rate, cover the bombardment, let the Japanese slaves hear it first!"

It was already dusk, it was not suitable for landing on the beach, and the follow-up troop transport fleet had not yet arrived, so the old thirteen did not intend to launch a sudden attack overnight, but he did not intend to make the Japanese slaves feel better, so this was a He waved his hand and gave the order in an unquestionable tone.

"twitter!"

Now that the old thirteenth had given the order, Sun Mingxu didn't dare to neglect it, and hurriedly responded, and then ordered one after another to divide the Qing fleet into three teams and prepare them for battle.

"The commander-in-chief has an order: All ships shoot salvo, let the Japanese slaves hear it!"

After the fleets were adjusted in place, Sun Mingxu issued the battle order without hesitation. In an instant, the seven warships in the first row started their shooting performance at the same time. Nearly two hundred naval guns opened fire one by one. At the same time, the warships that finished firing a round exited the shooting area in order, and the second fleet moved in to take over, and there was another burst of artillery fire. The sound of thunderous shelling has been ringing non-stop...
