The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

With an earth-shattering roar of artillery, the Ming fleet began to attack.

The next moment, hundreds of shells smashed into the group of Japanese army sampans.

The fire of the explosion and the water column rising into the sky simultaneously.

Amidst the mix of water and fire, human body parts and broken pieces of wood from the ship's hull were washed up into the sky.

Fortunately, Shimazu Yoshikawa's Tachakumaru was not hit by the shells, but the rising waves still drenched him.

He wiped the seawater from his face and looked at the Ming fleet one kilometer away in disbelief.

He didn't expect that the Ming army had so many artillery pieces!I didn't even expect that Lin Jun's artillery range was so far!

And the artillery shells fired by the Ming army actually exploded!

However, it is impossible to retreat. Even if the Ming army has many artillery, even if the Ming army's artillery shells will explode, so what?He has 6 armored ships!There are hundreds of other warships!

"Blow the trumpet! Order all warships to charge at full speed. These stupid Ming people dare to come here to die. Then we will give them another ride!" Shimazu Yoshikawa ordered.

"Woooooo~"

A heavy charge horn sounded, and hundreds of Satsuma navy warships heard the horn sound. The sailors rowed their oars vigorously and rushed towards the Ming army fleet.

Although they had just been sunk by the Ming army's artillery fire, most of the Japanese sailors believed that their side would win just like Shimazu Yoshikawa!

……

How does it feel to watch a swarm of ants rushing towards you?

You may feel a numbness in your scalp for a short period of time, and then... you will raise your foot and trample it to death.

At this time, the Japanese sampan rushing towards the Ming fleet was the group of ants.

"Have these Japanese people always been so brave?"

Looking at the swarming Satsuma domain sampan fleet, Iebumi Nobu said to himself.

It seems that the brain circuits of these Japanese people are always different from normal people. When did the tradition of suicide charges begin?

The propaganda here was wrong. After all, the Japanese thought they could win.

The Satsuma domain sampan group charged, and the ships of the Ming army began to fire with all their strength.

The black rain of shells smashed into the Satsuma clan warships, setting off a storm of death, and the sea surface surged like boiling water.

Satsuma's small morning boat suffered the greatest losses in these rounds of shooting.

Although the small morning boat has a small hull and a small bomb-receiving area, there are simply too many of them.

There are more than 600 Japanese warships in total, and there are more than 500 such small morning ships, accounting for [-]-[-]% of the number of Satsuma feudal warships.

With the support of such a large base, his losses were naturally the largest.

After several rounds of shelling, dozens of small morning boats were wiped out by the Ming army.

There is no such thing as damage here, because these boats are too small. If placed in the Ming Dynasty, they would be just ordinary fishermen's small fishing boats, with just two more wooden baffles on both sides.

But can the baffle stop cannonballs?

Any small morning boat hit by a cannonball would not even have a chance to struggle, and the people and the boat would disappear into the sea.

Even if some unlucky ones were not hit, their boats were overturned by the water waves caused by the near-missile bombs.

The heavy casualties made Shimazu Yoshikawa frightened, but he still did not flinch.

They are just some small morning boats. You can build as many of these boats as you want, and you can afford to lose them!

However, the next moment, a violent explosion occurred on a large Anzha ship in the distance.

A cannonball hit the Anzha ship's keep.

These wooden lofts containing gunpowder had zero defense against Ming army artillery fire.

The explosive bomb easily penetrated the wooden partition and exploded inside. The expanding high-temperature gas carried the hot explosive fragments and instantly tore the gunpowder barrel stored inside to pieces and ignited the gunpowder.

Although the Japanese Anzhai ships were small and had few cannons, their gunpowder storage was not as exaggerated as that of the Ming army or Europeans.

But this is not what the Japanese garbage ships can withstand.

The violent air waves broke through the upper deck and tore the hull apart.

If it were a Galen ship, it would still be able to withstand such damage, but what about the Japanese Anzha ship?

I saw that the hull of the exploded Anzha ship began to disintegrate beneath the castle.

Without a keel and supported by ribs, the Anzai boat is irreparable once it disintegrates.

In the horrified eyes of all the Satsuma clan sailors on board, the overlapping hulls were pulled down one by one like dominoes, quickly spreading to the surrounding area.

In just two to three minutes, the Anzhai ship had broken into pieces of wood on the sea.

The remaining soldiers held the driftwood and shouted for help, but naturally no one had time to pay attention to them at this time.

The strange way of death of the Anzabune shocked the Japanese people. The Satsuma Domain had not fought a naval battle for a long time, and a large ship like the Anzabune stayed in the port most of the time, so this spectacular scene of disintegration Of course no one has ever seen it.

The sinking of this Anzha ship was just the beginning. As the distance got closer, more and more "medium and large" warships such as Anzha ships and Guan ships were hit by Ming army artillery fire.

Similar to the Anzhai ship that disintegrated before, the death methods of these ships were also similar.

The unluckier ones, the smaller warships, fell apart with just one cannonball.

The larger one can withstand two more rounds, but it still cannot escape the fate of disintegrating.

The Satsuma navy's charge left behind a floating belt of dead bodies and driftwood.

But Shimazu Yoshikawa still did not choose to retreat.

Because during the beating just now, his six armored ships were hit by Ming army artillery fire several times, but they withstood them all!

The Ming army's artillery can't do anything to him!

Such a result instantly boosted his confidence!

Although other ships may suffer heavy losses, as long as there is no problem with his six ironclad ships, the final victory will definitely belong to him.

Iya Bunsen also saw the situation where the Satsuma Domain warship blocked the cannonballs.

He frowned as he looked at the six Japanese warships whose colors were obviously different from the other Anzha ships.

But soon Jia Wenxuan thought of something.

"Huh, tin boat?"

Jia Wenxuan sneered.

"Order, the Ranger and the four Dongfeng-class ships are equipped with solid ammunition, and aim at the six iron-clad ships for me to blast!"

Against wooden warships, the effect of explosive shells is outstanding, but when dealing with iron-covered warships like the Japanese, the effect of Ming army's explosive shells is not good.

Due to technical limitations, the explosive bombs currently equipped by the Ming Army are still early-stage explosive bombs with a thin iron shell, explosives inside, a delayed fuze, and a wooden base at the bottom.

When these shells hit the Japanese warships, the outer thin iron shell was too thin and too soft. The moment they hit the iron outer plates of the Japanese warships, most of them were directly smashed into pieces. This would not have happened. explode.

Some of them were blown up, but they were not powerful enough to cause serious damage.

At this time, solid bullets that rely on kinetic energy to kill will have to come back.

Japanese iron boats are covered with 3 mm iron sheets and connected by iron nails.

This kind of defensive power is enough to deal with the famous names in the Japanese country.

After all, everyone's guns and artillery are not very powerful.

But the artillery of the Ming army was not those earthen cannons with a range of only a few hundred meters.

When a naval gun with an extended steel barrel fires a solid projectile, the muzzle velocity of the projectile reaches more than 600 meters per second.

3mm iron sheet?

That's actually not much different from paper...
