The real naval battle lasted less than an hour since the two sides encountered the Nine Ghosts' Navy's Army's collapse and fleeing, but the pursuit of the Chinese army continued until dark.

On this day, Li Feihuang's fleet blocked Sakai Port, while Li Feihu blocked Osaka.

A cruise ship of Li Feihuang's fleet even chased into the port of Sakai Port, and sank several ships. After a few small bombardments were carried out on the port area, triggering a considerable fire in Sakai Port, which is mainly made of wooden buildings.

In the afternoon of the same day, the transport fleet transported the Marines to Awaji Island, and the Oda army on the island resisted desperately and powerlessly.

After dark, the guard of Awaji Island tried to break through to Honshu and was shot by the Marines at the beach.

At this point, the Battle of Seto Inland Sea was completely over, and the Chinese army occupied most of the islands in Seto Inland Sea, cut off the connection between the Honshu and the Shiguo, and at the same time wiped out the Nine Ghosts Navy Army.

After the war, Luo Haitao's report to the General Staff of the Empire claimed that nearly 500 ships of all sizes were sunk, but in fact, there was no accurate statistics on how many Fusang ships the Chinese army sank on this day.

Because the Nine Ghosts Navy had too many small early ships, some of which were not even noticed, and they were already sunk.

The only thing that can be roughly accurate is that the Chinese army sunk 5 iron-armored Da'an Houses, all ordinary An'an Houses and more than 90% of the pass.

Captured the flagship of the Nine Ghosts Navy Army and the Iron Armored Da'an House "Fusang Wan".

Conservatively estimated that the Oda army was killed and disappeared from more than 5,000 people below Jiugui Jialong, and about 600 were captured (most of them were fished out from the sea).

The wounded were not counted because the Chinese army would not retain the injured prisoners, and it was almost impossible for the wounded to swim on the shore.

A transport ship of the Chinese army suffered a light injury (had been shot several times in a row with a gun), 175 people were killed and 430 were injured.

The strategic significance of the Seto Inland Sea Battle is that the Fuso local daimyo, who organized the Nobunaga siege three times and were defeated three times, realized for the first time that China, an outsider, was a powerful existence beyond imagination.

So these already-defunct forces jumped out again, some people clamored for Nobunaga's encirclement again, while others were directly prepared to completely kill Oda Nobunaga.

The Nagatomoto-represent of the Shiguo Naozo, Uesugi Keikaku, Echigo's Echigo, and even the Hojo family who had been friends with Nobunaga, agreed to send troops to oppose Nobunaga.

However, Feng Sanhu didn't care whether the local daimyo of Fusang was willing to participate in the battle. In his opinion, Oda Nobunaga himself was a guy who "no tiger in the mountains and monkeys called kings". What the weak chickens who were overwhelmed by monkeys did not matter at all.

Two days after the naval battle, Feng Sanhu personally led the troops to attack and prepare.

In this battle, he led only 1,500 Field Army and 30,000 soldiers pieced together by local Fuso allies such as Maori and Ryuzaoji.

His opponent is Hideyoshi Hashiba who was promoted between Oda Nobunaga and Weimo.

Before the war, Feng Sanhu formulated a plan to use the Fusang people as the vanguard and the Chinese army provided firepower support to minimize casualties on its own.

In order to allow Maori, the Ryuzaoji army showed its due combat effectiveness, Feng Sanhu ordered the Maolong coalition to build a 200-two shield chariot, and the militia pushed the shield chariot to attack the Oda army formation.

There is a step behind the shield car of the Maolong coalition, and there are two design ports on the shield car baffle. The coalition's melee gunmen can stand on the steps and shoot while advancing.

The shield car itself proved to be enough to withstand the shooting of small-caliber mesh guns (vibrators and iron cannons produced in Fuso), but it could not stop the large-caliber muskets (the standard Type 1 of the Chinese army and the lifting guns called by the Fuso people).

Fortunately, the Oda Army did not have so many large-caliber muskets, and the Maolong coalition would not even be able to bear the casualties.

Like Luo Haitao, Feng Sanhu's shield chariot tactics chose were also very old tactics. In the past, the Jurgent genuine gold especially liked to use this thing to resist the Zhou army's crossbows. In essence, this is to bully the enemy without effective firepower, increase protection by sacrificing mobility, and pull the opponent closer to a more fair hand-to-hand combat.

Feng Sanhu believes that the Fusang people in the coalition are undoubtedly old-style troops, so using old-style tactics should be more appropriate.

This is indeed the case.

On the morning of October 17, a war broke out between the coalition forces and the Oda army under the preparatory city of Takamatsu. At the beginning of the battle, the coalition forces dispatched 220 shield vehicles and slowly and firmly advanced towards the Oda army.

Oda Army General Hideyoshi Hashiba ordered the iron cannon to block the attack lightly, and at the same time, the small number of Guokong cannons (large-sized magic cannons) were concentrated to catch up.

If the Chinese army is in accordance with the standard tactics, elite cavalry should be sent to roam in front of the enemy formation, harass and shoot the enemy with cavalry, restrain the enemy's firepower, and cover the advance of the original formation.

But Feng Sanhu did not intend to use his own lives to protect the Fusang friendly forces, so he just ordered his only two field artillery companies (one of 6 jin and one of 10 jin) to provide long-range cover to suppress the Oda army.

Fortunately, the Oda Army did not have powerful cavalry, so naturally it could not pose a threat to the Chinese army's positions.

Although the Chinese artillery was powerful, it was too small after all, and it was difficult to pose a fatal threat to the Oda Army of tens of thousands of people. Therefore, the Oda Army was able to continuously attack the vehicle array under the suppression of the Chinese artillery.

Soon, several shield cars were hit by shells, and the Fusang soldiers behind the shield cars were almost completely swept down by the collapsed debris. Several survivors escaped from the back of the shield cars and were immediately killed by dense combs.

Such losses are a drop in the bucket for more than 200 shield cars. After approaching the effective distance, the iron gunners behind the shield cars began to fight back. The bamboo bundles that the Oda Army had set up as a protection in front of the position were splashed with broken pieces, but the coalition's small-caliber muskets could not penetrate. Both sides fought back and forth, but there were no major casualties.

"This is really... what did Dashen say?"

Feng Sanhu shook his head when he saw the "fever" battle scene:

"Green chickens peck at each other?"

In front, the flag-born warriors waved their samurai swords and shouted loudly to keep the shield chariot array as straight as possible. Occasionally, the shield chariot was hit by the national collapse or the large iron cannon, and a group of people would immediately fall down screaming.

The samurai ignored this. After getting closer, someone began to use his bow to surprise and shoot at the opposite side. The Oda army immediately responded with color, feather arrows and lead bullets intertwined between the two armies, and the casualties finally began to grow.

The Fusang soldiers showed good resilience, and more and more shield cars were hit, but other vehicles were still very firm.

Finally, the critical point came. The national collapse of the Oda Army had to stop shooting for heat dissipation due to excessive firing times, which suddenly reduced the losses of the coalition forces. The Chinese artillery in the rear still threw the shells into the stationary Oda Army array again and again.

"It's our turn."

Feng Sanhu smiled with satisfaction:

"assault!"

The sound of drums and hooves sounded. The only two hundred muslan cavalry in the expeditionary army rode out, trotting around their shield chariot formation, and attacked the Oda army's flanks.
Chapter completed!
