Text Chapter 697 Naval Battle Off Osaka (2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Mori Ryuzo, with more than a hundred Japanese warships mobilized, arrived near the sea off Osaka in a majestic manner, originally planning to kill these foreigners at once.

    However, when the foreign warships appeared from the sea, Maori Ryuzao's heart immediately went cold.

    The oversized battleship hull and the densely packed gun muzzles on the side of the battleship made it clear to Maori Ryuzo that he had encountered an opponent that was difficult to deal with.

    Maoli has had contact with those Nanman people, and as a general of the navy, he also knows very well how powerful the Nanman warships are, especially the power of their artillery.

    And these enemy warships seem to be more sophisticated and more fierce than those of the Southern Barbarians.  The artillery seemed to be more powerful. It seemed that I had encountered a tough opponent.

    However, this is an opportunity to change your destiny, and you can't give it up so easily.

    "Otherwise, the Maori family may sink and there will no longer be any hope.

    Besides, one's own warships have slightly more than twice as many locations as the opponent's, giving them a huge numerical advantage.

    Therefore, it is not that I am incapable of fighting.

    Whether it works or not, you have to try it before you know.

    After all, it was because he didn¡¯t understand the Song Empire¡¯s warships that Mao Lilongzao issued the order to attack.

    After receiving the order from Mori Ryuzo, the Japanese navy began to rush towards the imperial fleet.

    The tactics of the Japanese navy in this era were still very backward.

    They now also use boarding warfare, a tactic in which warships approach the enemy ship and then lock onto the enemy warship, then place the deck for soldiers to land for close combat to defeat the enemy.

    It has to be said that the naval warfare tactics of the Japanese were far behind those of the pirates on the eastern coast, not to mention those of the Song Empire.

    You must know that even Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong usually start the artillery battle first and then use the side battle.

    However, looking at the virtues of Japanese navy warships, it is not surprising why they used such backward tactics.

    The Japanese warships still use the building-type construction technology. Although they look very large and have many troops stationed in them, this kind of sea-going ship can only be used in offshore waters, and it is completely impossible to sail in distant seas.

    ??And such a warship is basically built for the purpose of engaging in boarding battles. The artillery on the warship is just a look-alike and has no great effect.

    Its hull is inlaid with some copper skin to improve the warship's defense and arrows.

    This is the most famous ¡®iron-armored ship¡¯ in Japan.

    If Zhao Hongyu saw this kind of warship, he would definitely laugh at it.

    However, the warships used by the Japanese navy can still scare many people.

    At least, Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong did not dare to provoke the Japanese navy.

    Although Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong learned Western artillery tactics, this thing cost too much money.

    Especially the purchase of artillery costs more money.

    " Then every cannon fired is nothing but money."

    It is precisely because of this that Li Xiang and Zheng Zhilong actually use the backward tactic of boarding battle most of the time.

    Although this tactic is backward, it is actually very useful in the Eastern Sea.

    ???????????????????????? Most of the warships in the East don¡¯t use artillery very much.

    Although the Western warships are powerful, this is not their home field.

    " Then if his battleship with two or three kittens encounters the Eastern pirates who dispatch thousands of battleships at once, he can only rest and work.

    "In addition, since they are in the east, every time they fire a shell, there will be one less shell. In the end, when all the shells are used up, they lose their combat effectiveness."

    Under such a situation, Westerners in the East can only be bullied.

    Maori Ryuzo also considered that these foreigners would definitely encounter such a situation.

    ¡°Besides, didn¡¯t these foreigners bombard Osaka Commercial Town?

    When they bombarded Osaka Commercial Town, didn¡¯t they consume artillery shells?

    How many shells would it take to destroy Osaka Commercial Town?

    Therefore, Maori Ryuzao judged that his enemies must not have many artillery shells now.

    Under such circumstances, you can actually still fight the opponent.

    And the height of the armored ships under his command is not much different from that of the opponent's warships.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?They can easily land on it. As long as the soldiers rush up, the only thing waiting for the other party is failure.

    But unexpectedly, when they were still far away, the opponent turned the ship sideways and pointed the muzzle at him and fired.

    As you can imagine, more than fifty warships lying across the sea are very spectacular.

    The Song Empire¡¯s modified version of the Dutch commercial warship had a total of more than ninety artillery pieces.

    Remove the two cannons at the bow and stern, and there are more than forty cannons on each side of the battleship.

    More than fifty warships came across and fired more than 2,000 shells in one salvo.

    ??Besides, the casting technology of these artillery pieces is far ahead of this era.

    In terms of range, even the artillery on European battleships cannot shoot such a long distance.

    Therefore, before Mao Lilong could build their warship and rush to Zhao Hongyu and the others, they were violently bombarded.

    However, because the distance was too far, the warship cannons built by Maorilong could not hit the opponent at all.

    Although under the orders of Mori Ryuzo, the Japanese navy also fired back sporadically, their shells fell into the sea after hitting half the distance.

    You must know that these artillery were purchased from the Southern Barbarians, that is, Westerners, and they are very sophisticated artillery.

    But the shooting distance of this kind of artillery is actually only half or even less than that of the opponent.

    I'm going to go.

    ¡°What the hell is going on? It¡¯s not scientific at all, is it?

    In one salvo, more than 2,000 artillery shells fell. It was like a rain of bullets.

    And the artillery shooting accuracy of the imperial fleet was also very high. In one salvo, five or six Japanese warships were destroyed.

    This is just a volley.

    If we come here a few more times, will the Japanese still have naval forces?

    This battle is a big deal!

    After Ryuzo Maori discovered that five or six battleships had been sunk, his heart immediately began to bleed, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't help it.

    "It's a pity that the battle has begun and it is impossible to retreat easily.

    Especially since naval battles are different from land battles, retreat often means total annihilation.

    It is impossible for the enemy to miss such a good opportunity. They will definitely pursue themselves and sink them one by one.

    Therefore, it is impossible to retreat easily in a naval battle, even if all the battleships are destroyed.

    ¡°Besides, the battle has just begun, and no one knows the final outcome yet.

    Therefore, Maori Ryuzo ordered all warships to start moving forward at full speed, striving to get close to the enemy and start a boarding battle.

    In his opinion, as long as he can get close to the enemy, the outcome will be decided.

    And the artillery of the imperial battleship also left a deep impression on Ryuzo Mori.

    After experiencing such a salvo, he still didn't know how powerful the artillery of the imperial fleet was.

    Long range!

    There are many types of artillery shells.

    This is unmatched by our own side.

    Therefore, I cannot compete with the other party.

    Strictly speaking, Ryuzo Mori is actually a very good navy general.

    After a shelling by the Imperial Fleet, he immediately analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of both the enemy and ourselves.

    The general is actually very good at doing this.

    However, what Mao Lilongzao didn¡¯t know was that the enemies he encountered were not ordinary enemies at all.

    Therefore, he is destined to end in tragedy.

    No matter how hard he tries, can he still fight against cheaters?

    "Everyone works hard. The enemy's artillery shells cannot be that many. Don't be afraid. They bombarded Osaka Commercial Town. They must have used artillery. And they can't have supplies here. I imagine it was the shelling just now.  There¡¯s no way they could have been more times.¡±

    Mao Lilongzao was afraid that the adults would be frightened by the enemy's shelling.

    Therefore, he lost no time in encouraging everyone and analyzing the pros and cons.

    Maori Longzao is very smart.

    ????????????????????? People who could serve as navy soldiers in the 16th century were basically both soldiers and generals, they were very courageous and fierce people.

    This is the same in Europe and the East.

    You must know that the life of naval soldiers in the sixteenth century was not as easy as that of later generations.

    Their living environment?It's very bad and the conditions are very poor.

    "If you are not an ordinary person with a strong will and strong endurance, you will not be able to become a sailor.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????If the navy has a battle, it will basically take place at sea.

    "The battle at sea is not like the battle on land.

    If you fail the battle on the road, you can still run.

    But in a battle at sea, you can¡¯t even run away.

    For example, if you fall into the water, it basically means that you are dead.

    Because the battle at sea is not as quick as the battle on the road.

    ?????????????? Many times, battles at sea last for several days.

    Who cares if you fall into the water or not?

    And in maritime battles, injuries are also a big problem.

    Because the supplies on the ship are limited, they are usually loaded with food and weapons.

    Medicines are a luxury item, and even if they are available, they will not be used by ordinary soldiers.

    Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the soldiers of the Navy to have super endurance.

    If it was a land battle, if nothing else, the round of shelling just now basically killed the army soldiers, so there would be no morale.

    However, looking back at the navy soldiers, although their faces were a little pale, they still stood firmly at their posts and did not have much emotional fluctuations.

    From this point of view alone, the navy soldiers have a much stronger psychological quality than the soldiers of the army.

    With Maori Ryuzo¡¯s order, the orderly waved two small Japanese gourd fans back and forth on the top of the ship. Many oars were stretched out from the surrounding warships and from under the flagship.
