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

Hundreds of small boats swarmed towards the Ming fleet, and the entire sea outside the port was filled with oars and oars breaking the waves and the beast-like roars of Japanese sailors.

To them, the Ming army warships ahead were just bigger prey.

When the Ming warship's first round of 130mm artillery shells passed over their heads with a whistling sound that ripped the air and hit the "large warship" behind them, they did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

But when a very rhythmic banging sound sounded, and with this banging sound, several small morning boats rushing at the front were torn into pieces in an instant, including people and boats, only then did someone realize Something is wrong.

"Xiaolin-kun, have you seen it?"

A Japanese sailor on a small morning boat leaned on an iron cannon and pointed at a tattered ship with minced meat hanging in front of him, calling out to his companions in horror.

"That's Jiesuke's boat! They're all dead! Mingren killed them!"

Kobayashi responded loudly.

Although Jiezhu was from the same town as the two of them, there was no trace of sadness or anger in Kobayashi's tone at the moment, only deep fear.

Because after they saw with their own eyes the continuous fire on the Ming army ship, the small morning boat where the assistant was located jumped into countless pieces.

Almost in an instant, the Xiaozaochuan became what it was in front of it.

The Ming army's artillery was actually able to fire continuously!

The 37mm rotating barrel gun equipped by the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty is similar to the Hotchkiss rotating barrel gun of later generations. It has the same 5 barrels, the same 10-round magazine that feeds ammunition diagonally above, and the same rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute.

The only difference is that the range is worse, the effective range is only 800 meters.

Historically, the Hotchkiss was quickly expelled from the Army because its range was overrun by contemporaneous artillery. However, in terms of the Navy, because it was positioned for close combat defense, this cultural relic could still be seen on some ships until World War II. (standard equipment for Beiyang Navy ships)

Although the range of the Ming Army's 37mm rotary gun is worse than that of the Hotchkiss rotary gun, but what kind of opponents are there in this era?

To say bullying is putting it mildly.

"You prodigal son! You destroyed a small fishing boat for me with just 10 rounds of artillery shells! Are you still happy! Why don't you pay for artillery shells? After this battle, write me a [-]-word review! If the review is not profound enough, give it to me. I rewrite!”

The gunner on the Huashan who had just smashed a small morning boat was immersed in the excitement of killing a boat of Japanese pirates when he suddenly received a slap on the head.

He turned around and saw the gunnery commander staring at him with a fierce look on his face.

At this time, he also realized that the pirate's small fishing boat was worthless at all, let alone the two-legged animals on it, but he had used 10 high-explosive bombs!

Thanks to grandma's house!

"Sir, can it be less?" the gunner begged with a grimace.

"You think I'm talking about business with you? 1000 words!"

The gunnery commander did not bargain with him and left after doubling the number of words in the review, leaving the gunner with a bitter-melon-colored face stunned on the spot.

In fact, the Ming army had no shortage of artillery shells. When Emperor Zhu Da became more generous, he always emphasized that problems that could be solved with cannonballs would never be solved with bullets, and problems that could be solved with bullets would never be solved with bayonets.

But I must emphasize that some officers who were selected from the civilian population were used to living in poverty, so they saved as much as they could.

Of course, the main reason was that they wanted to save Emperor Zhu Da some money.

Today's Ming Dynasty is many times better than the previous late Ming Dynasty, but there are still large areas of land occupied by the Qing Dynasty.

The war is still going on, and wars cost money!With every saving now, His Majesty's vision of regaining all the land and restoring the splendor of the Ming Dynasty will be one step closer.

The Japanese pirate navy didn't know that there was an unlucky man on the Ming army's warship who was punished for using a few more shells to kill them, and they didn't have the time to think about that.

"Bang bang bang..."

"Puff~puff~..."

The whizzing shells splashed on the Japanese pirates' small morning boat, causing a bloody storm.

The Japanese pirate sailors wanted to hide, but the wooden baffles installed to defend against arrows and muskets surrounded the small early boats into wooden boxes. The wooden boards blocked the Japanese pirates and they didn't even have a chance to fall into the sea. Torn to shreds.

At this moment, these small morning boats were like the Allied landing ships that hit the muzzle of the mg42 general-purpose machine gun head-on on Omaha Beach. Everyone inside was killed.

The difference is that the German army's mg42 caliber is 7.92 mm, while the Ming army's rotary gun is 37 mm.

The Allied troops who died under the muzzle of the mg42 at least still had their whole corpses, but the Japanese pirates who were under the muzzle of the 37mm gun were exploded into minced meat without even letting out a scream.

The Kohayafune rushing forward was shrouded in death under the rain of shells, and the main battleship of the Tokugawa family in the rear was not much better.

Especially the most beautiful Aberdeen Tenji Maru in the port.

Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, who had just boarded the ship, hadn't even had the habit of slamming Fang Qiong, and several shells had already hit him.

As mentioned before, the shipbuilding technology of Japan was backward. Anzhahu and Guanship were both lap-structured hulls without keels and ribs.

Therefore, the anti-gun and anti-collision capability is approximately zero.After these few rounds of shells, the Tenchi Maru, the Shogun's throne ship, was blown to pieces.

The unlucky Tokugawa Tsunayoshi was overturned into the sea by the blast.

The gorgeous and heavy-duty armor directly made the general sink to the bottom without taking a second thought.

Fortunately, the port was not deep, and some loyal samurai hurriedly fished Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. Although he drank a stomach full of water, his life was still alive.

"General! Are you okay?" an officer said anxiously.

"Cough cough..."

The pale Tokugawa Tsunakichi finally recovered after coughing again and again. With the support of several samurai, he stood up and looked towards the sea.

Blood, flames, smoke, screams.

The sea surface of the entire Edo Bay port has been rendered into a scene of purgatory.

His water army had no ability to resist under the attack of Ming army warships!

This cannot be called a battle at all!

"Withdraw! Withdraw!"

He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.

The Japanese navy was completely defeated.

Nearly a thousand large and small ships did not cause any damage to the Ming Royal Navy, but the price they paid made the Tokugawa family gasp in pain.

More than half of the nearly a thousand ships were torn to pieces by gunfire in this massacre, and the blood and flesh scattered into the sea even dyed the sea water crimson.

Jia Wenxuan frowned when he saw the changed color of the sea.

"It seems that the fish caught in Edo Bay cannot be eaten."

"Order! Let the Japanese and Korean troops land, and tell them to pay attention. You can kill the men as you like, but don't set fire to them. This Edo Castle is different from Tsurumaru Castle. Don't burn it down!"

"Yes, sir!"

The main city of Satsuma Domain, Tsurumaru Castle, except for the Shimazu family's mansion, is like a small run-down village. If it burns down, it will be burned down. There is no pity.

But this Edo Castle is different.

Although the city buildings are mainly made of wooden structures, Tsurumaru Castle is a bunch of low shacks. Although there are also a large number of shacks in Edo Castle, there are also many pavilions in the central area.

Moreover, as the home of the Tokugawa family, and as one of the three most prosperous cities in the Wa Kingdom, the population of Edo Castle alone has exceeded the population of the entire Satsuma Domain, a full 30!

Such a big city will be named Zhu in the future. If it burns down, how much will it cost to rebuild?

Moreover, the population is large, there are many merchants, there are many nobles, and there are naturally many good things. If they are all burned, wouldn't it be a loss?

This is also the reason why Iabun Xuanyi did not order the bombardment of the city as usual after he crushed the Japanese navy, but ordered the Ming Xie army to land and fight.

In his eyes, this Edo City already belongs to His Majesty. How can there be any reason to bombard his own things now?

As for the Ming Xie army that might suffer heavy losses?

Well, I will report back to His Majesty later, and then I will carve a monument to commemorate it.
