Fortunately, the Kira Navy's iron artillery team was always suppressing the sides of the Awaji Anzai ship. The counterattacks aimed at the ship's side quickly silenced the firing ports of both iron cannons. General Oda quickly directed the remaining archery teams to quickly approach both sides.
He felt that these ships were likely to bring great danger to them.
"Quick! Let the iron artillery team attack! Don't stop the archery team! Shoot those people!" General Oda stood on the top of the deck and shouted, which soon attracted the attention of the Kira Navy iron artillery team. A team of iron cannons
The Ashigaru discussed it and locked the muzzle of the gun on the guy who looked like a high-ranking samurai.
"Bang!" The rumbling sound caused the lead bullets in the barrel to eject at high speed, and the flames of the gunpowder brought up the smoke. In addition to the disadvantage of choking, the whole body was filled with smoke and felt like being in a fairyland. The iron cannon was very good.
Young people are happy to enjoy this short-lived special feeling every time they fire a gun.
"Puff!" Oda General suddenly trembled all over and fell to the ground like a puppet with broken strings. Several samurai rushed towards him in a hail of bullets and yelled: "Oda-don!" Oda General raised his head with his remaining consciousness.
He touched the wet spot on his chest with his hand, and when he saw the bright red on his hand, he seemed to want to say something, and finally his head tilted and he breathed out.
"Avenge Oda-don! Crash into that ship!" The Awaji samurai rushed down the cabin frantically, swung their swords to drive away the Awaji sailors, and shook the oars desperately. At this time, a deafening roar came from the outer deck of the Anzha ship.
, several decks were completely blown to pieces, huge air waves set off wooden plank fragments and exploded in all directions, and nearby sailors and samurai were killed on the spot.
"Asshole! Here's the baked jade! Take it out and fight back!" someone reminded. The samurai who were dizzy by the shock wave of the explosion thought of their weapons again, and quickly took out the baked jade and lit it. They threw it out regardless of the situation.
One of the unlucky ships was bombed. Then the Kira Navy ship was blown up into the sky by a huge explosion. Naturally, all the members of the ship were dead.
"Shingoro! Damn the Miyoshi family! I will fight with you!" The Kira Marines on the other ship saw the Sekifune next to them suddenly being blown up into a huge fireball soaring into the sky, and everyone's eyes were splitting when they saw this.
, cursing angrily, he picked up the baked jade, lit it, and threw it into the gap. Huge explosions and rising flames continued to devour the lives in the boat.
This time they would not make the same mistake again. Baked jade was thrown into the gap one after another. The constant explosions gradually suppressed the screams, but after a while, a series of explosions suddenly occurred in the cabin. It seemed to be the baked jade of the Awaji Navy.
Yu also suffered an explosion. The huge explosion exploded the entire cabin of the ship, and the hull tilted to one side and gradually sank into the water.
Slowly, the cabin of the boat was swallowed up by the river water, and bright red blood emerged in the water. The murderous roasting team could no longer stop. When they saw the fire of iron cannons coming from the oncoming Awajiguan ship, they immediately changed direction and pounced on it.
But a moment later a violent explosion and screams sounded again, and a more brutal fight gradually began.
"The Baolao team acted without authorization and has left the formation!"
"Asshole! This guy Takeuchi Kuroemon is really unreliable!" Kuuki Shigetaka hammered the flagpole hard and immediately ordered: "Follow us and we must not let the Awaji Marines eat our roasting team!"
"yes!"
Two Anzha ships and dozens of ships, large and small, began to move slowly. Soon eight fire ships were still burning. At this time, the Baolao team was fighting against seven or eight Guan ships surrounded by fire ships. Iron guns sounded from time to time.
The sound of artillery and the explosion of baked jade made the scene even more chaotic. The iron artillery team of the Kira Navy immediately loaded up the ammunition to counterattack, gradually bringing the situation back. The Kanfune of the Awaji Navy fell into a situation where they could not advance or retreat, and their firepower was restricted and could only be passive.
Get beaten.
The ships of the Awaji Navy were bombed and sunk one by one, and Xiaozao of the Awaji Navy swarmed up. It was not worth the gain to use the roasted jade to deal with Xiaozao, so the roasting team gradually could not withstand Xiaozao's siege and suffered heavy casualties. Kuuki
Chonglong immediately waved the command flag and ordered the Baolao team to retreat. Fortunately, after the fierce battle just now, the enthusiasm of the Baolao team gradually cooled down and they quickly followed the order and retreated.
The Awaji Navy seized the opportunity and wanted to attack. Kira Navy's Kohaya fleet immediately drove their own boats to block it. Kohaya didn't have much of a problem with Kohaya, especially with the suppression of bows and arrows and iron cannons. Soon they were
Let the Kira Navy take advantage, but the Kanfune behind it is different. Kohaya and Kanfune are completely on the same level. Dealing with the Kanfune is as eye-catching as the Kanfune. It is used constantly by the Awaji Navy's Kanfune.
The shooting and impact of iron cannons soon brought a devastating blow to Xiaozao's team, and those who fell into the water in Xiaozao had almost no chance of survival.
This kind of sacrifice is not meaningless. In this kind of fight without fear of death, the Kanfune in the back row is finally in place. This is the continuation of the situation that Kozaya team sacrificed their own lives to maintain, but Awaji Sui
The army's attack was still fierce, with iron cannons and bows and arrows firing back and forth, and even some ships directly rammed into each other and boarded the ship for hand-to-hand combat. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for the iron artillery team on the Anzha ship to play its role.
They can only shoot at the back row of ships to gain a more favorable combat space for themselves. Even if there is iron cannon fire suppression, this rotation tactic still faces a huge threat, especially when the barrel of the iron cannon is fired until it is hot.
It can be poured with river water to force cooling, which is a waste of time and also puts huge pressure on the ships ahead.
Soon, four Kansai ships could not withstand the attack of the Awaji Navy and were completely annihilated. Before the Awaji Navy could be happy for a long time, they soon became the target of rocket attacks. The rockets poured down, including those that were destroyed.
Several ships, including the Kira Iseki ship, were all set on fire, and the ships of the Awaji Navy were so crowded together that they could not turn around.
Because there were burning fire ships on both sides, they could only be ignited by rockets and turned into a sea of fire. The sailors on the ship could only jump into the river to avoid the fierce fire, but they became live targets in the water and were slowed down by the archery team.
Slowly aim and shoot one by one. Even if the Awaji Marines behind clearly saw their companions calling for help on the water, they could not rush to rescue them, which made them very angry.
Kuuki Shigetaka sent several more Kansai ships to block the waterway, which led to a situation that the Awaji Navy was least afraid of. The Awaji Navy often needed several Kansai ships to be bombed and sunk, in exchange for a few Kansai ships and a half from the Kira Navy.
However, the Anzhahuan hidden in the rear can shoot calmly from a high position, which is simply target practice.
The fighting lasted for an hour and a half and had already caused heavy losses to nearly half of the Awaji navy. Seeing such a bad battle situation, even Anzai Fuyayasu could not sit still.
"What a cunning plan! What a vicious heart! Is this the power of the Kira navy? I, Anzhai Fuyakasu, have seen it!" Anzhai Fuyangyasu roared angrily. This good-tempered general treats people kindly and cherishes his soldiers. He has always been good at it.
He has a good reputation as a kind general, but he can no longer sit still in the face of such heavy losses.
The Awaji samurai also had a bad temper now. This water battle is definitely lost now, and there will be no better if it continues: "Lord! What should we do?"
Anzai Toyasu was silent for a long time, gritting his teeth several times and trying to wave his arms, but finally he turned into a sigh and said: "Retreat immediately! Leave the seeds for our Awaji Navy!"
…
The smoke filled the air on Amanaseura and the raging flames roasted the ashigaru. The corners of their mouths were cracked and bleeding. They were sweating profusely and kept pulling the bow strings. Their fingers were worn and scratched and they didn't feel it. They just kept pulling the bows mechanically.
The archery cycle was repeated until the bows and arrows they put on were all used up. At this time, the fire on the river gradually disappeared, and they realized that the Awaji navy had retreated at some point, leaving only the remains of a ship on the river, and the remains of the sunken ship were still exposed on the river.
A corner.
"We are victorious! Victory!" The ashigaru of the Kira Navy immediately burst into cheers. The Awaji Navy was finally defeated. After a hard battle, five Kanfune ships disappeared forever, and twelve Kanfune ships were severely damaged.
In addition, at the cost of the destruction of twenty-three Kohaya ships, the Awaji navy was finally defeated.
In the Battle of Amanaseura, the Awaji Navy was burned and lost more than 60 large and small ships. Among them, one Anzha ship was lost and 32 Seki ships were lost. In the morning, few ships escaped and the Awaji Navy quietly escaped.
Retreating would mean that the Miyoshi family's water warfare offensive strategy was completely bankrupt, and the Yodogawa blockade could no longer be maintained.
Because Anzai Fuyasu did not have the confidence to continue fighting guerrillas against the Kizugawa navy with half-disabled defeated troops, not to mention the fact that everyone was pushing for the wall to fall, the Awaji navy was breaking the rules and was in front, and there were many people on the Yodo River who were adding insult to injury.
If the Kira Marines need to come forward, the Awaji Marines will pay a heavier price.
On the evening of July 14th, Anzai Fuyayasu and several followers left the navy fleet that was gradually withdrawing from Awaji, and came to the camp outside Shengryuji Castle in person to plead guilty. The tent was brightly lit, and the Miyoshi family present
The samurai looked grim, because the bad news that came one after another put Miyoshi Changqing in a very bad mood. He lost his temper from the afternoon until Anzhai Dongkang came. If the lord loses his temper, the life of the ministers will certainly be difficult.
Anzai Toyasu bowed his head respectfully, and said in a self-blaming tone: "I, Toyasu, have failed the lord's trust! I really have no words to continue to serve as the leader of the Awaji Navy. I ask the lord to allow me to resign from my post and become a wealthy man, so that I can serve those who died in the war."
Awajijiro prays for blessings!”
Sanhao Changqing said calmly: "Why did Dong Kang say this? You and I are brothers of the same flesh and blood. Since Yicun left, there are only three of us brothers left. Don't say such depressing words as soon as you open your mouth.
! I don’t have any other requests. Don’t the Awaji navy still have navy? Just transfer them over and continue the blockade!”
"Lord! You must not do it!" Fuyoshi Anzhai almost jumped up and said hurriedly: "Absolutely not! The Awaji navy left behind is the foundation for maintaining my Miyoshi family in the eastern part of the Seto Inland Sea, Osaka Bay, and Kumano Sea! It is also my Miyoshi!
If we send out the maritime maintainers who dominate the Kinai region, we will be unable to maintain the advantage of the Awaji navy with a thousand remnants of troops that have returned!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
