"Nothing nonsense, the Ming army is clearly attacking on land. How could there be an enemy ship in Osaka Bay? How could it be..."

The head of the Osaka Fort is the Shogunate Takaya Ono Saburo, who is an official position in the Shogunate, and his position is second only to that of the Laozhong.

Saburo Ono was stunned when he heard the report from his subordinates, but he quickly reacted:

"Quickly, please order all artillery soldiers to take their seats immediately to prepare for firing artillery, and the other soldiers immediately defend all the strongholds to prevent the Ming army from landing."

"Yu"

The messenger immediately conveyed Saburo Ono's orders.

The Osaka Fort is the most sturdy defense in Japan. The Red Barbarian cannons reached 60, and there are also infantry and cavalry protection for the turret.

"Sir, look..."

As soon as Saburo Ono's order was conveyed, one of his deputy pointed at Osaka Bay and screamed in panic.

Saburo Ono looked back at Osaka Bay, his eyes shrank and his whole body began to tremble.

His eyes were staring straight at the sea level outside the bunker.

A group of black dots appeared on the sea level, and the black dots became larger and clearer, showing tall masts and chimneys.

On the mast, a bright red dragon flag fluttered in the wind.

"That's the Ming Navy? How could they have each other's giant ships? No wonder the Japanese Navy was easily destroyed by them."

Saburo Ono hurriedly picked up the single-tube telescope, he wanted to see clearly what was happening on the Ming Dynasty warship.

But I saw countless huge muzzles exposed on the Ming Dynasty warships, aiming at the Osaka Fortress.

"It seems that the time has come for us to sacrifice bloodshed for the shogunate! Get ready for battle."

Saburo Ono said in a deep voice, then quickly walked out of the fortress and shouted loudly at the Japanese soldiers outside.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

"Boom..."

The sharp chirping pierced the sky of the fort, and the battleships of the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty fired!

On the sea, there were sixty Ming warships, and the ones in front were all iron-armored warships equipped with about eighty artillery pieces, with a capacity of 500 to 700 people.

Shortly after the Ming fleet fired, the Japanese Navy, which was docked near the Osaka Fort, was dispatched urgently.

Since the last naval battle, the Japanese navy has basically been in a state of disgrace. This so-called navy that was temporarily gathered together has no combat effectiveness, but only some patrol ships are left.

Except for three of the Ming warships, all of them were crossing the sea and opened fire at the Japanese Navy in the Osaka Fort and the Osaka Port.

The enemy and us launched a fierce artillery battle, with gunpowders spreading on the sea and surging waves.

In about half an hour, all the Japanese Navy's broken ships were sunk by the Ming Navy.

The armored warship was in front and the sail warship followed behind. After the Ming Navy destroyed the Japanese Navy, the warship approached the Osaka Fort and fired.

"Boom..."

There are only more than 60 large and small artillery guns on the Osaka Fort, which are the coastal defense guns purchased by the Tokugawa Shogunate for huge sums of money.

In terms of the number and caliber of artillery, the Ming army obviously had the advantage. Even if the Ming army used line-based combat to bombard, three or four hundred cannons took turns to fight.

On the Osaka Fort, thick smoke was rolling. Saburo Ono saw through a telescope that an artillery position in the southeast corner of the fort was hit.

The bodies under his command, together with the cannons of the Red Barbarian cannon, were blown into the air by violent explosions and rolled down from the cannon.

It is difficult for Japanese military artillery shells to hit targets in the sea, so it is much easier to fire the Ming warships on the shore.

The overwhelming artillery fire blacked the soil around the fort, and another Japanese artillery position was hit by the Ming army's artillery fire.

The artillery on the position, together with more than 30 gunners and auxiliary personnel, was bombed into the sky.

However, the resistance of the Osaka Fort defenders was very strong, and dozens of artillery still roared like thunder.

Saburo Ono squatted on the Red Cannon position on the north side of the turret and firmly issued orders.

At this time, there was a bandage wrapped around his forehead, covered in blood, and there were two corpses of his subordinates lying beside him.

The position where he was located was hit by a shell from the Ming army. It was his two subordinates who fell on him at the same time that allowed him to escape.

Japan's weakness formed a sharp contrast with the Ming Dynasty's strength. This contrast gave Saburo Ono an illusion.

He felt that Japan's weakness was completely imposed on Japan by the barbaric and unreasonable Ming people.

As long as the Japanese unite and drive away the Ming people, Japan can enter a peaceful and prosperous era!

"Boom..."

Another shell exploded not far away, and several Japanese artillery soldiers who were scared to incontinence were about to run away and were blown away without a trace.

The man was splattering blood and splattering all over the mountain village. The boy was so scared that he was trembling all over. This was the first time he saw an explosion of shells.

Yamano Murakami wiped the blood on his body and issued an order:

"The left bank cannon turns to the gun port and bombards the beach to prevent the Ming army from landing, and the other cannons are concentrated on attacking the Ming army's warships!"

Under the bombardment of Ming warships, in more than half an hour, only 70% of the dozens of coastal defense cannons on the Osaka Fort can be used now.

The 30% of the shore defense artillery was destroyed by the Ming army's warships, and nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers were injured or killed.

On the sea, several Ming army sail warships were already blasted and caught fire.

One of the Ming army sail warships had a tilt, and there were less than twenty of them on the ship's sixty artillery guns.

"All sail warships withdraw from the battle, all iron armored warships change to flowering bullets to bombard the Japanese turrets, and the Maokang magic bullets are fired together!"

Seeing that the Ming army's sail warship was injured, Zheng Chenggong was worried that the Ming army would suffer a large number of casualties, so he immediately ordered the Fengfan warship to withdraw from the range of Japanese artillery.

However, the captains of the sail warship were not cowards and they asked to bombard the Osaka Fort from other directions.

Zheng Chenggong nodded:

"Okay, you twenty of your ships bombarded from the left and right wings, be careful not to get too close to the turret."

"yes"

The armored warship quickly approached the Japanese turret, and the naval gun and the Makoto Kung Fu launched an attack on the Osaka turret together.

"yes"

"Swoosh swish swish..."

More than one hundred Maokang magic bullets flew quickly toward the Osaka Fortress.

"Look at the Ming army warships were repelled by us!"

Seeing a large number of sailing warships spread out from side to side, the Japanese soldiers on the Osaka Fort thought the Ming warships were retreating! They screamed excitedly.

Yamano Murama also discovered this problem and immediately picked up the single-tube telescope.

When the single-tube telescope lens was focused on the Ming Dynasty Iron Armored Battleship, it was found that the Iron Armored Battleship did not retreat.

And countless things dragging fires flew out from the Ming army deck.

"Quick, shell the Ming army warships..."

"Boom..."

"Boom..."

Before Yamano Murakami said, hundreds of Maokang magic bullets bombarded the Osaka Fortress one after another, and the Osaka Fortress instantly ignited a fire.

A small half of the Japanese artillery soldiers loading shells were immediately killed, and the rest were trapped in a fire.

"Boom..."

Then hundreds of flowering bullets exploded in the fire again...

The Japanese soldiers had never seen such a scene, crying their parents and shouting that they would run around. In order to extinguish the fire on their bodies, many of them jumped out of the fort from the sea.

Unfortunately, the water below was shallow and covered with reefs, so their final result could only turn into a pile of rotten meat.

"Boom..."

Suddenly, the Ming sail warship in the other two directions began to fire...
