Chapter 478 Battle of Sunset!

The next day.

Rest overnight.

Zhu Di left a sign in the arsenal to block reinforcements from the Japanese princes who might come from the north.

He personally led more than 20,000 cavalry troops and galloped towards the south.

Along the way.

The Mixed Cavalry Association, whose horses were covered with black canvas outer armor, took the lead. Under the leadership of Zhou Lang, the four mixed Cavalry Association signs attacked in all directions, rolling forward and crushing them.

The allied forces of the princes stayed behind to suppress the small army that had surrendered to the 'rebel sinners'. In the rolling black current, they fell one after another listening to the thunder of Yan Fan's military boots.

Hearing that the emperor was killed by Ohno Goro, he was shaken and stayed.

The Japanese people, who were reduced to "rebel sinners", wept with joy.

This is why Zhu Di chose to land in Hyogo.

The reason for fighting a war of annihilation against the coalition forces of the princes in the area that was once controlled by the Ono Goro Group and fell again.

Shogun, the daimyo of the Japanese princes headed by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

These people in the occupied areas who once accepted two ideas and two propositions and surrendered have always been treated as heretics.

When launching an attack on Goro Ohno's group, he promised to let bygones be bygones to these people.

It's just a ploy to make the war easier and end faster.

When the allied forces of the princes gradually retreated under the command of Kobayakawa, the army and the people achieved a decisive strategic victory.

The coalition of princes showed their despicable fangs.

Vow to use slavery.

Let this group of converts gradually die physically in the process of creating value.

In the eyes of the princes' names in the alliance of princes.

This group of people who once accepted two ideas and two propositions have become the devil released from Pandora's box.

They were concerned that this group of people would not be completely physically wiped out.

In the future, this seed will still sprout in the land they rule.

touching and threatening their rule and interests.

The Japanese princes' coalition forces have this kind of thinking of eradicating the roots.

On the contrary, they are no different from the conservatives of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also an inevitable rule.

Therefore, the Yan army and the coalition forces of the princes fought in the occupied areas and had a good public opinion foundation.

There is basically no need to worry about guerrilla attacks from the rear.

Of course, this is the condition created by the coalition of princes for the Yan army.

If it hadn't been for the allied forces of the princes to go back on their word and eradicate the Japanese people in the occupied areas, I am afraid that this long march would have been somewhat troublesome.

The border between Hyogo and Okayama.

The Mixed Cavalry Association has rushed into Hiroshima.

The two infantry troops were dissatisfied with the formation of the town and entered Okayama.

The army is marching.

Zhu Di was blocked by a group of Japanese people.

"Are you His Highness King Yan?"

A Japanese man wearing Yanfan style and new clothes, but the clothes were completely tattered, stood in front of Zhu Di, bowed at 90 degrees, choked and said sincerely: "Please take us with you, Your Majesty, we will follow His Majesty's army, Kill all the coalition forces of the princes!"

The army is still rolling forward.

The passing army officers, wearing steel helmets and carrying muskets, silently looked at this group of about several thousand people, mostly young men and women, no elderly or children, and ragged civilians in the Japanese-occupied areas.

Lan Yu, Zhu Xi and others stopped and dismounted.

Standing behind Zhu Di, he looked curiously at the man bowing in front of him.

And behind them, their eyes were filled with awe and a hint of expectation.

Staring at the army officers and soldiers, the Japanese people kept looking at them.

Zhu Di asked: "Are you a soldier in the rebel army? Or a local official?"

The Japanese leader, who was wearing the new clothes of Yan Fan, still bowed, shook his head and choked with sobs: "No, Your Majesty, Xiaomin is a teacher. He once studied Confucianism in the Central Plains. Later, the rebel army led by Ono Goro liberated and restored Okayama... …”

From the words of this teacher wearing Yanfan costumes.

Zhu Di learned that the other party's name was Hatoyama Shin.

He was a Japanese Confucian scholar who advocated the culture of the Central Plains.

After Ohno Goro liberated Okayama.

Following the example of Yan Fan, he promoted two concepts and two propositions in the early stage.

Hatoyama Shin is still quite resistant.

Until I saw the benefits brought by two ideas and two propositions to the people of Japan.

Gradually he became a true believer.

Moreover, he began to learn the new culture and new trends of Yan Fan.

Becoming obsessed.

However, Hatoyama Nobu did not become an official or join the army.

Hatoyama Nobu believes that if we want to change Japan, we must start with education.

Hatoyama Nobu also strongly opposed Ohno Goro's worship of the Japanese emperor.

He believed that the Japanese emperors represented the old forces.

As long as the Japanese emperor exists, it will be impossible to eradicate everything in the past.

Therefore, this Japanese Confucian scholar who used to wear Confucian clothes shaved his hair and changed his clothes, fully studied the Yan vassal, and then opened a private school in Gangshan.

Kobayakawa Nakaye admired Nobu Hatoyama very much.

During the retreat, Hatoyama Nobu was asked to evacuate together.

But Hatoyama Shin said: If I don’t go to hell, who will?

He believed at that time that the coalition of princes would never keep its promise.

He wanted to stay and protect the people and his students when the coalition of princes went back on their word.

…

Zhu Di looked at the figure in front of him, with his waist bent deeply and bowed.

You can see drops of water falling on the ground under your feet.

Of course, he couldn't believe what the other party said based solely on his own words.

However, if this person is really what he said.

So, he is quite a talent.

Zhu Di took the initiative to reach out and bend down to help Hatoyama Xin.

Lan Yu and others looked at it and couldn't help but raise their eyebrows slightly. These were Zhu Laosi's military boots. After setting foot on the land of Japan, he took the initiative to bend down and help a Japanese for the first time.

It can be seen from this that this Japanese man has fallen into the eyes of Zhu Lao's fourth dharma.

Zhu Di looked at Hatoyama Xin, whose face was covered with bloody scars left by whips. He looked back and asked, "Where are the children you protect?"

Hatoyama Nobu also got straight to the point: "After the prince's mixed cavalry association passed by, the common people knew that the prince's army of Yan Fan had set foot on this land, but the people were not sure what the prince's army would do to us people, so ...So when Xiaomin brought everyone to see the prince, he hid the children. "

Facts have proved that he is just a villain trying to judge a gentleman.

The first team to pass.

Not only did he not do anything wrong to them, he also did nothing to them.

Even seeing that they were so skinny and hungry, they even gave them some boxy pancakes wrapped in oil paper that were carried by the army, as if they had been deep-fried.

Now, he has several such small pancakes in his pocket.

And this prince asked about his children.

He also knows why.

I didn't believe what he said rashly.

Although suspected.

But it made him more convinced and at ease.

This suspicion just proves this prince and the Yan army under his rule.

As leader Kobayakawa said, he is a benevolent and righteous army.

Zhu Di nodded, he had no time to investigate now, and warned: "I will order the baggage team behind to leave you something to eat. If you have eaten enough and have strength, it will be up to you, Hatoyama, to lead this group of people and maintain it." Okayama order, you are a scholar, you should understand that in this situation, if order is lost, the hungry people will cause great turmoil. When people are extremely hungry, regardless of whether they have read books or not, they will bring out the bestiality in human nature. Wake up, you must lead the people of Gangshan to actively save themselves and maintain local stability and order.”

"Your Majesty, Xiaomin..."

Hatoyama Nobu spoke excitedly, but was stopped by Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked at Hatoyama Xin seriously, "During the war, when I appointed you as the top person in charge of Okayama, I already treated you as a soldier. You have read a book and you should know that the future is unstable and it is very difficult for us. The impact of a conquest army."

In fact, it has no impact.

After all, they are an army working together on land and sea.

If there is any risk, this Japanese country is surrounded by sea.

They can evacuate land from anywhere as quickly as possible.

He just didn't want these people to participate in the war.

reason?

He will not tell Hatoyama Nobu.

Hatoyama Xin hesitated for a moment, then imitated the salute gestures he had seen in the Yan army before, which was a bit unfamiliar, and he saluted Zhu Di non-standardly: "Yes!"

Lan Yu and others were immediately amused.

But with good intentions.

The reason for laughing.

It was because Hatoyama Xin learned Yan Fan's military etiquette, but he said he would obey orders.

According to Yan Fan’s military discourse, he should say ‘yes’!

As for why the Yan Fan Army completely abandoned the traditional terms of obeying orders and humble duties.

They, the soldiers, also discussed it privately.

Adapt to the new trend of Yan Fan.

Traditional military terms such as obeying orders and humble duty.

With too strong aura of nobility and humiliation.

There is a strict superior-subordinate mechanism in the Yanfan army, but no dignity and lowliness will be tolerated.

This is completely consistent with the social trend of Yan Fan.

Zhu Di smiled and raised his hand to help Hatoyama Shin correct his salute posture, then raised his hand and returned the standard military salute.

…

Hatoyama Nobu saw Zhu Di riding away on horseback and said with emotion: "He is indeed the benevolent and righteous teacher and ideal teacher that Mr. Kobayakawa longed for. Offering land to the Yan vassal and the people is the greatest luck for all the poor people in the Japanese country."

Front.

Lan Yu turned her head and looked back, then turned back and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, I have never understood why the generals in the Yan Army are saluting you when the generals below are saluting you, but the generals above are serious about returning the salute?"

They analyze it.

In the Yan vassal army, terms such as "obeying orders" and "humble duty" were gradually abandoned.

But I still don't understand this.

In the Ming army, the soldiers saluted the generals, and the most everyone could do was nod.

Only when it is necessary to boost morale, when it is important, will I beat my chest and return the favor.

Everyone on Daming's side pricked up their ears.

Zhu Di looked at Lan Yu and others, "Don't underestimate the details of the superior generals and the serious return of gifts to their subordinates. The military is a hierarchical place, and it is also the most likely to breed dignity and inferiority. But an army must not be without strictness." of hierarchy and discipline..."

"The serious salute given by superior generals to soldiers represents respect for soldiers. Through this etiquette, it also demonstrates the equality of personality among all people in the military."

"Such small details help improve the morale and cohesion of the army."

"It also helps to remind generals at all times that the difference between them and soldiers only exists in position level. Position level is only to better organize a group of people and exert greater combat effectiveness, but Personally, everyone is equal."

Lan Yu and others were silent.

Look, this is the advanced nature of Zhu Laosi Yan Fan.

Every detail has such a profound impact.

"Fourth, why don't you accept this group of Japanese people and join the fight? Even if the fighting power is not strong, it would be cost-effective to exchange ten for one, right?"

When Zhu Di heard this, he turned to look at Zhu Yu, dumbfounded: "Third brother, if I harbor such thoughts, I will inevitably lead the soldiers below, and the justice of our army will gradually be lost."

"Of course, this is not the main reason why I don't let them participate in the battle."

"I hope they will continue to hate the old and outdated forces of Japan."

...

If they participate in the battle, the Japanese people will vent their hatred, and the suffering they have suffered will be forgotten in a dozen years or even several years.

Humans are forgetful animals.

"I will not let the Japanese people in the occupied areas intervene in the battle now. They will never be able to spit out the breath they have held in the past."

Why, in later generations, the upper class never feared that various friendly groups set up by Japan would lead people astray.

They watched those so-called friendly groups coldly.

It is because they know that the vast majority of people have been holding back their emotions that have not been vented for a hundred years.

This emotion.

It can be awakened at any time when needed.

No matter how many so-called bullshit friendly groups there are, no matter how much public relations fees there are, it will be useless.

"If they don't spit out this breath, they will always hate the old Japan and will not miss the old Japan. This is crucial for the first thirty to fifty years of Yanfan's assimilation of Japan."

Lan Yu and others all laughed after hearing this.

Lan Yu smiled and looked at Mu Ying.

Although the two did not communicate, they both knew what was in each other's mind.

Zhu Laosi's excellence is incomparable to the prince.

Whether it is military or economic.

Or politics!

In the past, Zhu Laosi's excellence was more reflected in military and economic aspects.

But just based on what Zhu Laosi said just now, he did not allow the Japanese people in the occupied areas to participate in the war, so that the Japanese people in the occupied areas have been holding this breath and never venting it.

It can be seen how brilliant Zhu Laosi's political skills are!

Zhu Laosi did not allow the Japanese people in the occupied areas to participate in the war, and achieved the political goal that would affect the future for hundreds or thousands of years.

He also demonstrated the benevolence of Yan Fan to the people in the occupied areas of Japan!

Looking at the Ming Dynasty, how many people have such political means?

...

In the distance behind.

A group of merchants led by Hu Hansan surrounded Zhu Yunwen on horseback.

They did not want to follow the army.

But he was also worried that if he stayed in Hyogo, he would be harmed by those soldiers of the Yan clan.

Now, following His Highness Yunwen, at least, Hu Hansan thought it was the safest.

Hu Hansan looked at Zhu Yunwen, pricked up his ears, and tried to eavesdrop on the previous conversation. He couldn't help but laugh secretly. If he wanted to listen, he could just listen directly.

Even if his grandfather Lü Ben was a member of the anti-Yan alliance.

This grandson of the emperor, after all, is Zhu Silang's nephew.

You can't hear what was discussed here.

Hu Hansan secretly glanced at Zhu Di's back, gritted his teeth, and whispered: "Your Highness Yunwen, the navy of the King of Yan sank the boats of the common people in the sea without any reason. After returning to the court, can the prince persuade the court to let the King of Yan compensate us? Our requirements are not high. The sea ship and the cargo, as long as the King of Yan compensates us with a sailing animal-powered hybrid ship..."

Zhu Yunwen's lips twitched, turned his head, and looked at a group of merchants with sparkling eyes.

All businessmen are dishonest, and this group of people is what we are talking about!

Shameless!

Sail animal-powered hybrid ship.

This is a patent unique to the Yilan Shipyard and Jilongyu Shipyard of the Yan vassal state.

The shipyards on the court side have not yet mastered the manufacturing technology of the turntable mechanism of the animal-powered power compartment.

The gears used in it, the bearings after technological upgrades...

For the court, they are all technical obstacles.

Even if they are made by copying, the quality is very poor and not durable at all.

The power compartment mechanism of the court navy is purchased as a set from the Yan vassal state.

At the beginning, the Yan vassal state was willing to provide the power compartment mechanism for maritime merchants.

But later, as the court began to suppress the Yan vassal maritime merchants.

The Yilan Shipyard, a private cooperation between the two regimes, stopped selling the power compartment mechanism to the civilian sea vessels of the Ming Dynasty.

Now on the court side, only the navy can get the complete set of power compartment mechanism from the Jilongyu Shipyard.

However, Yu Tongyuan, the ruler of the navy, firmly disagreed and purchased the engine compartment machinery in the name of the navy and provided it to the court's civilian ships.

The reason was also very strong: he was worried that the navy's behavior would anger Yan Fan, and the navy would not be able to get a complete set of engine compartment machinery in the future.

Therefore, except for a small number of civilian hybrid merchant ships in the early days.

In recent years, the merchant ships built by the court are all sail-powered.

Sail power is greatly affected by ocean currents, monsoons, and weather.

It greatly affects the profitability of these sea merchants.

Therefore, these people are obsessed with getting a hybrid sea ship.

Unfortunately, the attitude of shareholders and unions of Yan Fan Yilan Shipyard is very tough.

Civilian shipbuilding orders from Daming will never accept hybrid power except for sail power.

No matter how high the price is, it's impossible!

It is said that the fourth uncle also talked about the shareholders of Yilan Shipyard for this.

But these shareholders, as well as the shipyard employee union, just didn't give in, and said to the sea merchants on the Daming side: Don't steam buns to fight for face! When will the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty cancel the discriminatory and unfair policy against Yan Fan, and they will accept orders for hybrid power ships for Ming Dynasty merchants.

I don’t know why these people are so united after going to Yan Fan.

They don’t even make money.

This kind of unity is very strange to my father.

Humph!

Zhu Yunwen put away his thoughts, snorted coldly, and sneered at Hu Hansan and others: "Do you still want Yan Fan to compensate you? I didn’t chop off your heads because you followed me. Don’t you have any contraband hidden on your ship?"

"If my fourth uncle tells the emperor about his behavior of siding with the enemy, even if he doesn't take action, I'm afraid the emperor will have to wipe out all nine of your clans!"

The expressions of Hu Hansan and others changed.

Hu Hansan lowered his voice and whispered: "Your Highness, all our goods followed the ship and sank to the bottom of the sea. Don't say we didn't bring any contraband. Even if we did, King Yan has no evidence..."

Zhu Yunwen sneered and interrupted Hu Hansan, "You yourself know whether you have any contraband. Besides, what do you think the fourth uncle did for leaving Yang Dongxu in Hyogo Bay? Is it possible that it was to salvage your goods? If you have any contraband, If you like it, then wash your neck in advance..."

Zhu Yunwen's words must be heard by all maritime merchants.

Everyone's faces turned pale.

His eyes were evasive and he was obviously scared.

Zhu Yunwen took all this in front of his eyes and continued to scare: "Besides, my fourth uncle saw that you were not happy, so he salvaged your goods and took out a little saltpeter and said it was salvaged from your ship, and you would be deprived of food." Let’s go!”

Listen to your father.

As his fourth uncle, he does whatever he wants to achieve his goals.

This kind of thing was done when he killed Feng Sheng!

However, this time the elder brother analyzed it.

It is unlikely that Fourth Uncle would do this.

The navy bombarded and destroyed these people's ships in advance. On the one hand, it was a warning to these people and other Ming merchants.

On the other hand, he left some room and did not want to irritate Daming.

He deliberately scares these people.

The purpose is simple.

Just to make Hu Hansan and others afraid, move closer to him, and be grateful to him.

Anyway, Fourth Uncle was not planning to kill these people.

He took advantage of the situation to earn a favor.

If the fourth uncle really wanted to kill these people, he would not start a conflict with the fourth uncle now because of these people.

He is too weak now.

Even if there was a conflict, it would only be after my father took over the throne from his imperial grandfather.

Hu Hansan wiped his forehead and begged: "Your Highness Yunwen, we are all righteous merchants who abide by our duties and pay taxes to the court. Now, with so many people here, only His Highness Yunwen can protect us..."

Zhu Yunwen smiled secretly.

He is no worse than his eldest brother.

The eldest brother never thought that he would take this opportunity to win over these maritime merchants!

…

Kyushu Island.

Fukuoka.

"Quick! Quick!"

…

There was chaos near Fukuoka Fortress.

One hundred thousand Japanese allied troops have received news that Zhu Di has landed in Hyogo.

In a panic.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu led the princes and daimyo from the alliance of princes and stood on horseback between the straits of Kyushu and Honshu.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the feudal lords around him were the same. Their weather-stained faces were slightly pale, and it was obvious that they were trying their best to suppress their fear and anxiety.

When they received the news that the Yan army had landed at Hyogo, they were still on the opposite side of the Kagoshima Strait, recuperating their strength.

Thinking of this, he gave a severe blow to the Yan army that landed on Kagoshima in the strait.

Never expected that.

The Yan Fan army actually landed directly behind them.

What a tactic!

In the thousands of years of Japanese history, Japan has never seen such tactics.

"This King Yan is worthy of being the prince of China, the origin of civilization, and worthy of being the strong man who pushed the civilization and culture of the Central Plains to another level!" Hosokawa Kiyoshi suddenly sighed with emotion.

Break the silence.

Some princes warned with a trembling voice: "Hosokawa-kun, now is not the time to lament the excellence of King Yan Zhu Di. If our 100,000-strong coalition army is defeated, we will really be doomed!"

The other minor princes all looked at Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.

Ashikaga Yoshimitsu noticed this, reined in his horse, turned around, pretended to be calm, and said with a smile: "Everyone, the Yan army is powerful, only 30,000 people, even if you include the Kobayakawa rebels in Kagoshima, it is only close to 40,000, and We have an army of 100,000!"

"And we have captured Fukuoka. Fukuoka is the strategic hub of Honshu and Kyushu. As long as we stay here, Yan Fan's army will be attacked by us if they land from the other side of the strait before they can stand firm!"

Kusunoki Zhengyi frowned and asked: "Defense is indeed possible, but how can we deal with our food, gunpowder, and projectiles?"

The little confidence the princes had just gained suddenly disappeared.

War, to some extent, is all about logistics.

And now, they can't get any supplies.

It will also suffer attacks from the north and the south.

Now, at the rear, the Kobayakawa rebels have crossed the Kagoshima Strait, and with strong hatred, they are attacking the soldiers and horses they left to block the rear.

A cold light flashed in Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's eyes, and he made a decision, "Now is the time for those rebel criminals who killed the emperor to atone for their sins. Collect every grain of food in Fukuoka, Saga and other places, and every piece of iron Collect all the farm tools and kitchen utensils, use whips and samurai swords to make these rebellious animals, without eating, make pellets for us to atone for the emperor’s sins!”

The princes nodded silently.

Just some cattle, and some rebellious cattle at that.

It would not be a pity to die.

Everyone knows what Ashikaga Yoshimitsu didn't say.

If there is really not enough food, these animals can also be used as rations for the brave soldiers below!

This kind of thing, in this narrow and barren land, let alone the war period.

Even in peacetime, it often happens.

Years of famine.

Elderly people in livestock families do not deserve to live.

And the young and tender ones are excellent food.

Of course, as noble nobles, you don’t need to eat this kind of rations, so just give them generously to the brave men in the army!

…

after one day.

The mixed cavalry association first appeared in Yamaguchi on the other side of Fukuoka.

Another day passed.

Zhu Di led two dissatisfied troops to the mountain pass.

When the army is resting.

Zhu Di led everyone on horseback to the north shore of the strait.

Sit on horseback and raise your binoculars.

The other side.

A hundred steps away from the seaside, a defense line built of stones and corpses across the coast came into view through the telescope.

Behind the defensive line.

The numerous coalition soldiers of the princes are clearly visible.

"There are not many long-barreled fire muskets. Most of them are short-barreled three-eyed muskets similar to the ones we used before the Ming Dynasty." Lan Yu held up the telescope to observe and concluded in a low voice: "Although the weapons are a bit backward, the opponent can take a hundred steps on the beach. This hidden line of defense established outside is not easy to break down.”

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Mr. Liang Guo, how about a bet? After a day of rest, our army will be able to conquer this line of defense tomorrow?"

Everyone, led by Lan Yu, couldn't help but look at Liu Sheng curiously.

Liu Sheng glanced at Zhu Di, and then said with a smile: "On this trip, not only our army, but also the navy is going south, and there are also some cruise ships transporting heavy baggage. Tonight, let the mixed cavalry association take advantage of the night to take the cruise ship to make a detour. The allied forces of the princes will land behind the scenes. Tomorrow morning, naval warships will enter the strait, shell the defense line on the opposite side, and at the same time, build a pontoon bridge..."

It’s sea and land cooperation again!

Lan Yu and Mu Ying looked at each other.

Their thinking still failed to keep up with Yan Fan.

I didn't expect to fight like this just now!

In this land of Japan surrounded by the sea.

As long as there are large ships, the army can land anywhere.

At the same time, as long as there are enough naval artillery, the so-called solid defense line on the opposite side will be like paper.

When Liu Sheng was in the Ming Dynasty, he was capable, but he was by no means the top military general.

But look, I have been to Yan Fan for several years.

This war mentality is obviously ahead of them.

Led by Lan Yu, a group of Ming generals felt a strong sense of urgency.

This is not Liu Sheng's talent.

It was Yan Fan who broadened Liu Sheng's horizons, and thus his war thinking was ahead of them.

This is exactly what those conservatives in the Central Plains call it a strange and obscene skill!

Rapid advances in technology.

Yan Fan soldiers, while possessing new equipment, are also quickly adapting to new equipment, researching new equipment, and forming a broad strategic thinking and vision!

Zhu Di put down the telescope, turned around and said with a smile: "Just fight like this, go make arrangements!"

"yes!"

After Liu Sheng saluted, he rode away.

…

That night, ten cruise ships unloaded their baggage with the help of accompanying Korean civilians.

In the darkness, they left quietly with two standard war horses and soldiers from the Mixed Cavalry Association.

The next day.

"Okay boat!"

"one two three……"

"Hiss! Fifteen hundred artillery pieces!"

"It's over, it's over..."

…

When Ashikaga Yoshimitsu led the feudal lords and came from the Fukuoka camp, they saw that behind the defense line, their soldiers were completely demoralized and dejected. They were frightened and stared at dozens of warships lined up in the strait. !

There are ships of different sizes.

They were all lined up on the sides, and the dark muzzles of the artillery poked out of the gun windows and were pointed this way.

A large warship has dozens of doors on one side, and even a small one has fifteen doors!

The strait, which is not too long, is densely packed with 1,500 artillery pieces!

All the princes' daimyo, including Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, looked extremely embarrassed.

This was the first time they saw Yan Fan's navy with their own eyes!

This is the first time in my life that I have seen so many ferocious artillery pieces!

When they came to Fukuoka and drove the rebel sinners to lay out this defensive line that they thought was naturally dangerous, they never expected that Yan Fan had so many artillery!

Unexpectedly, Yan Fan's naval warships entered the strait and cooperated with the army in combat!

They had never seen this tactic before.

Even in the military books of the Central Plains, there is no such tactic!

Just when the feudal lords headed by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked at the seventy or eighty ships and one thousand five hundred artillery pieces, they felt cold all over.

Behind the warships lined up in a row, the engineers used the warships to cover them and worked in full swing.

Each small boat is connected end to end through fixed iron and steel structures.

More than a dozen troop transportation channels are rapidly extending.

And inside each warship, the atmosphere was even more lively.

Lan Yu and others watched.

The artillery soldiers pressed bags filled with soil behind the gun carriage rails.

The track is installed on the deck of the warship and is a steel structure.

When the artillery fires, the reaction force pushes the gun carriage backward along the track.

Then it was blocked by the bag of dirt behind it.

When the artillery moves backward and the muzzle shrinks, the artilleryman will rush forward to load the gunpowder projectiles immediately.

After filling.

Move the gun along the track again and push it out of the gun window.

This is a new technology on the Yanfan naval warships.

The application of this new technology increases the speed of reloading, and at the same time, the orbital retreat of the guns also reduces the damage to the hull structure caused by the reaction force of simultaneous firing.

It is precisely due to the use of this technology and the lighter weight of the artillery made of steel that the number of warship artillery can be increased.

In the Yanfan Navy, this is the first actual combat after all warships have been upgraded. Every naval officer is very eager to see how the new warships perform in actual combat.

Although during training, it has been proven that warships using new technologies are very good.

But after all, it has never been carried out in actual combat!

Today, they will use 1,500 artillery pieces to fight a sunset battle!
