Chapter 579 Allied Forces
"There are a lot of boats!"

On the old-fashioned single-cannon deck shark ship with a stern tower, Long Junxiong is wearing a Nanyang breastplate and a hat, pretending to be the general flag of the Ming army. .

At this time, he was standing on the stern tower, holding a brass binoculars and watching the Oda water army waiting on the coast far away.

His car is an old ship in Nanyang, but in terms of the year it was launched, it is far from old. The thick ship plank material can stop lead feather arrows, and the ship type that pays attention to the artillery for the first time can also bear the ship's side The eight cannons launched a volley, although it was far from the so-called six Ding Liujia, but its [-]-material ship shape and [-] broadside guns were enough to deter all enemies in this sea area.

After the five old shark ships, there are more than [-] Japanese offshore and inland river warships. Among them, the small morning ships with a length of seven or eight steps are the least, and most of them are Guan ships with a length of ten to seventeen steps. This is the backbone of Japanese naval warfare. There will be a larger Anzhai boat, which has an invincible advantage in close-range gang fights.

But Long Junxiong did not have an house boat. The Japanese ships under his command were all warships captured by Chen Bazhi and the Saiguo daimyo after they expelled Maori.

Both belong to the East Asian ship system of this era. The difference between Dafu and Anzhai is very large. Fuchuan was developed on the basis of Song Dynasty sea ships; Xiaozao, Guanchuan, and Anzhai ship types basically did not develop except for their size. Xiaozaochuan expanded from canoes , Sekifune builds a small house on a small morning boat, and Ataka builds a big house on a larger small morning boat.

This kind of ship is in good shape, but the only disadvantage is that it has been used for too long. In the battle of Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty, Japan used this ship. It was the same ship that attacked Mongolia. Appeared.

The Ataka ship has more troops, but the sails together determine that it needs more helmsmen. Japanese warships are not good in water battles, but once the water battles turn into hand-to-hand combat with jumping boats and dancing knives, their advantages will appear.

The Dafu boat carried less troops, but the sailors only needed less than ten people, which was more worry-free. Moreover, Long Junxiong also added two light Francophones to the Fuchuan, which was already armed as best he could.

But although the shape is different, the purpose of the two kinds of ships is the same, both are sea jumping and fire fighting.

The distance between the two sides was seven or eight miles, Long Junxiong squinted his eyes and observed the coast and said: "There are only a hundred boats, and Oda will not be there. There are other ambush soldiers at the river mouth, and people and horses are gathered on the shore. They want to lure us to the shore. In the meantime, send the order!"

"The four naval forces fought on their own after the war started, each sealed off the Osaka Bay, and fought to the death with the enemy. Everyone claims to be a hero of the Western Navy. Let's see what we can do!"

Putting away the binoculars, Long Junxiong smiled with his lips crooked. He wanted to wipe out all the power of the Oda Clan in the sea in one battle. The enemy wanted to lure him, and he also wanted to lure the enemy... He was born as a Japanese pirate, but he didn't have any clever tactics, but He has plenty of manpower to lure, four fleets of [-] ships in size, although he doesn't have many ships in hand, his combat power is stronger than [-] to [-] ships.

Before he took over these naval forces, the four naval forces distributed under daimyo's command in various parts of the Western Kingdom were all similar to the Japanese pirates. The boat seemed to have a powerful force, but it was actually less than two thousand.

After all, it was the personal soldiers who followed Chen Mu, and he had been swayed by Chen Mu's arrangements for the Ming navy. Now his small boats have been divided into communication boats, and the main warships are all closed ships carrying dozens of troops. The military power has greatly enhanced the combat power of the navy composed of sailors.

Of course, the most fundamental purpose of this reorganization is to strengthen the ability to project power. Any general of the Ming army who has fought in Japan will understand that the navy cannot achieve decisive results in the battle on the island. The real victory or defeat depends on the army. Junxiong is no exception—the navy under his command has a full strength of [-] troops!
As the military order was issued, the small haya boats powered by oars shuttled between the battle lines. The Murakami navy recruited by the Mori family and the Matsuura Japanese pirates approached from the left flank, preparing to attack the enemy's heavily fortified Kizusaliva army.

Nizijia's Yinqi Navy and Otomo Navy's right wing, with more than [-] large and small ships, circled towards the side of the stone mountain and blocked the Osaka Bay from the periphery.

"Don't fire, we will slowly approach the left wing with the upper half of the sail, and if the enemy approaches, we will intercept it!"

Long Toshio guessed that the Oda navy should set up an ambush at the mouth of Kizugawa, but he was confident, and followed the Murakami navy and the Matsuura pirates to the left, and his central army composed of twelve gunboats also slowly approached.

He has binoculars, so he can observe more clearly, but the general of the Oda water army is not blind. Twelve huge ships, regardless of shark ships or lucky ships, are already huge ships with a length of more than [-] steps, and they are huge shadows. Moving towards the right-wing ambush circle poses a great threat.

The generals of the Oda Water Army are quite troublesome. They also have more than [-] ships, but there are only a dozen of them that can be called Oseki ships, and they are for the leaders of each team. But now in this situation... Numano Iga's garrison, which was fighting head-on, retreated without a fight, and Manabe Lord Mabei, who was responsible for blocking the Osaka Bay in the back, was blocked, and the circle of troops became smaller and smaller.

They have already suffered such a loss. Just last year, six Daming boats brought a group of grain boats to Shishan to transport grain. When they heard the news, the Oda Navy came here with only three big boats. I had no choice but to intercept the grain ship in the Awaji Country Strait, but was repelled by Daifuku as a grain ship, and two large ships were burned.

This time they received the news in time, and quickly assembled nearly [-] warships, but when they assembled the Ming army, they simply assembled more than [-] large and small ships. It seemed that the battle could no longer be decided at sea.

The sea area was continuously compressed by the huge shadow, which gave the teams of the Oda Water Army more room to communicate—it was almost face-to-face, just call if you have something to do!
The ministries shouted in a hurry, and the sea was in chaos. Seeing that the battle was about to be defeated before it even started, Numano Igamori and Numano Okumamori, who had returned to Tsuguchi, agreed on tactics: "Drag on, wait for Lord Nobunaga to gather troops and horses, and lead them to the Fight on land!"

The Murakami navy doesn't care about that much. Before the battle, Toshio Takashi gave them the power to conquer places in accordance with the tradition of the Warring States period. After imitating Oda, Takeda, Uesugi and other daimyos, he set up the power of "human hunting" and "random acquisition" on the spot. As long as the enemy is defeated, These poor sailors can fight against rich and powerful.

For a mere moment, with seven Ozeki ships as the vanguard, the Murakami navy with more than [-] large and small warships, led by Takekichi Murakami, faced the Numano team who could not retreat. Then they collided aggressively, and the Manabe team, who was Oda's rear line, had led the fleet to attack Murakami's flank.

When the first roasted fire arrow hit Oda's Numano Iga Mamoru on the Anzhai boat and burst into flames, the attack on Japan's Gyeonggi officially began by Chen Bazhi, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese King of Qin, Chen Bazhi, and the commander-in-chief of Sanyodo Mikai. !
