The treasure ship retracted the Eight Bull Crossbow, closed the porthole, and then there was no movement.

The Sakai Port navy searched for hundreds of ships, and thirty of them were directly sunk. More than four hundred Japanese soldiers were splashing in the cold water. A wave hit them, and more than half of their heads that were originally floating on the sea were missing.

Although the remaining seventy sailors were frightened, they rushed under the treasure ship and then fell into despair.

One by one, the sergeants took out their hooks and wanted to climb up and join forces to fight. But they looked at the hooks in their hands, and then looked at the Ming Dynasty's ship. If I go, I can't reach it...

Use a knife to chop the ship and smash it!

The weapon went down with a clang, and the weapon was curled up. If you look closely, you can see that it is an iron sheet. Even though I am exhausted, I can't break through the defense of iron sheet and iron wood.

Climb, can’t climb up, fight, can’t move...

This put the Sakai Port navy into a desperate situation. They were shouting one by one, but they didn't know how to fight or where to start. Some soldiers fired with bows and arrows, but to no avail. There was not even a scream from the ship.

Wang Sui was very helpless at Chen Hui's bullying methods, and he also despised the performance of the Japanese navy. I stand here and let you fight. If you don't fight back, you can't fight. Why do you think you are here...

Chen Hui decided not to play anymore, and ordered the sergeant to pull the anchor, and then the treasure ship hung a sail. The treasure ship went south, directly crushing the dozen or so Japanese ships blocking the treasure ship to the bottom of the sea, and then controlled the rudder, and the treasure ship began to turn around on the sea. , some ships escaped along the waves, and some ships were directly hit and fell apart.

The difference in size is really huge. The displacement of the Japanese ship was only a dozen sergeants, less than two thousand kilograms, while the treasure ship only weighed six hundred thousand kilograms with ballast stones! To put it bluntly, if you move a few stones, you can crush all the naval forces in Sakai Port!

The window on the side of the ship was opened again, and the Eight Bull Crossbow was stretched out again. The thick crossbow arrow was shot out. With strong force, it penetrated the two people, pierced the wooden boat, and penetrated into the sea water!

Some crossbow arrows simply did not aim at the ship, but stared directly at the Japanese army. One arrow shot out and passed through three of them! It is really a waste to use this kind of siege-level equipment to kill people, but compared to the divine machine cannon and gunpowder ammunition, the cost of the Eight Ox Crossbow is obviously much cheaper...

Tian Shangzhen finally realized his fear, and ordered people to retreat at the top of his lungs, but retreat was so easy. You must know that when you go there, you have a smooth sailing, but if you want to retreat, you will have to go against the wind and the current. If you want to row back, you must have a boat. …

Chen Hui used the point-kill Eight-Niu Crossbow method to its extreme. One Eight-Niu Crossbow fired. If it missed, the other one would take aim until the ship was killed or all the Japanese on board were destroyed. The ship sank. , the next Eight Oxen Crossbow continues to search for the target, while the previous Eight Oxen Crossbow can be loaded with ease.

Japanese ships were being sunk one after another. In less than two-quarters of an hour, there was no complete Japanese ship near the chartered ship. Instead, there were more broken wood, floating corpses, and the Sakai Port navy struggling to escape.

Chen Hui rubbed his cold hands and ordered the fire gun soldiers to take action.

Clusters of lead shot out from the fire gun tube, cutting through the north wind, and shot directly to the back of the Japanese's head. The water splashed up in chaos, and the blood slowly dyed...

Tian Shang's hand was really shaking, and he held it down with his other hand, but his whole body began to tremble again.

The main force of the Sakai Port naval force, one hundred ships and one thousand five hundred naval forces, actually did not defeat even a single ship of the Ming Dynasty. No, they did not even fight much, they only suffered a beating!

Is this the power of the Ming Navy?

My many years of hard work and the shogunate’s many years of investment have all been lost here! After Ashikaga Yoshimitsu finds out, he will definitely kill himself!

Matsunaga Hide sighed. These people could have survived and not gone to war, but no one listened to him. No one wanted to believe in the power of the Ming Navy. They didn't even ask, "Iki Island's navy has gone." where!

Well now, you have proved the power and invincibility of the Ming Dynasty Navy with your bloody defeat!

General Si Bo Yi looked solemnly, stared at the Ming Dynasty treasure ship, and said grimly: "It can be seen that our navy is far inferior to the Ming Dynasty navy."

At this moment, General Shiba realized that Ashikaga Yoshimitsu had discussed cooperation with Chen Zuyi several times and asked for shipbuilding several times.

Technology, and even directly sent people to support Chen Zuyi in plundering the craftsmen of Daming Yangjiang Shipyard, for the future of the navy!

The navy under the shogunate was not at the same level as the navy of the Ming Dynasty, and it was even inferior to Chen Zuyi's pirate ship! If we don't invigorate the navy, if we attack North Korea in the future, our retreat will be easily blocked by the Ming Dynasty Navy!

General Shiba was a little anxious and wanted to return to Kyoto to tell Ashikaga Yoshimitsu that the navy must be developed and a higher, bigger, and stronger navy must be created! Only in this way can the shogunate be qualified to compete with the Ming Dynasty!

Akamatsu Zehong was also dumbfounded. He originally thought that the Ming Dynasty Navy was just ordinary, but who would have thought that it would be so ferocious that there would be no way for anyone to survive.

"No, get out of the beach quickly!"

Matsunaga Hide watched the Ming Dynasty's treasure ship gradually approaching, and suddenly became nervous.

This time, General Shiba, Akamatsu Zehiro, and Tanami Shin did not hesitate and returned to the island with a group of sergeants.

Chen Hui picked up the telescope and looked at the escaped Si Boyi and other people. They did not go back directly to the depths of the island, but only stayed three miles away, as if they were still there to discuss something.

"How about sending them all away?"

Chen Hui looked at Wang Sui.

Wang Sui took the telescope and looked at it. Well, five or six of these people are in the portraits provided by Li Congmao, and there are even Kyogoku highlights. Since you don't go home to sleep, don't blame us for sending you away. It’s a journey.

Wang Sui was not prepared to let go of such an opportunity to annihilate the enemy leader. Chen Hui also understood that by killing this group of people, Iqi Island would no longer have much power to stop the Ming Navy, and there would no longer be a need to use the starvation strategy.

Wang Sui put down the telescope and said to Chen Hui: "Then let's end it as soon as possible. Regardless of whether King Yan has sent a good news or not, we should rush to give the emperor a gift before New Year's Day."

Chen Hui handed the telescope to the lookout hand on the side, pointed at the island three miles away, and said seriously: "Cover it all at once, leaving no one alive!"

The lookout hand watched carefully, raised his thumbs to calculate, and then shouted: "Three miles and two due north, angle forty, forty-eight rounds, full coverage, ready!"

There was a sergeant standing above the entrance to the cabin, shouting commands into the cabin. The sergeants in the cabin moved the eight-niu crossbows away, turned to launch the divine machine cannon, put in the shells, opened the side of the ship, and the black muzzle stretched out. .

"The divine machine gun is in position!"

shouted the sergeant.

Chen Hui did not hesitate and ordered sternly: "Fire!"

boom!

The treasure ship suddenly trembled, and the entire ship moved slightly backward.

A dull sound spread.

When Matsunaga Hide heard the sound, gunpowder bombs appeared in his eyes, and the coldness shot straight from his feet into his brain, and he was so horrified that he couldn't say a word.

"Run!"

Kyogoku Gaoguang was the first to react and ran away. At this time, a gunpowder bomb exploded on the side, and the air wave directly blew Kyogoku Gaoguang away, causing him to fall heavily.

Before Tagami really knew what happened, he felt his ears go deaf, and then he couldn't hear anything anymore. Only the sergeants fell to the ground screaming, and Akamatsu Zehiro not far away was shouting something!

Smoke and dust flew.

Tagami raised his hand to block the flying soil, then looked at Akamatsu Zehiro, only to find that he had lost his arms and fell headfirst into the pit.

General Si Boyi was experienced in the battlefield. He took two people and used them as human shields for himself. Then he hid behind a stone on the side, curled up, and heard a huge explosion and the trembling earth.

A sentry arrow flew into the sky from the chartered ship and suddenly exploded. After seeing it, another treasure ship fired another sentry arrow and passed it to the Dafu Ship. The Dafu Ship continued to send messages, and the Daming Navy surrounding Iki Island received a joint message. Military order:

Cover the bombardment and land on the island for combat!

Whether it is a large fortune ship or a treasure ship, they are constantly approaching Iki Island. The sergeant who climbed to the height of the mast used a telescope to constantly detect the movements of the troops on the island, directing the divine machine cannon to strike from a long distance, even the reinforcement barracks brought by General Shibao It was also covered by gunpowder bombs.

The battle started suddenly, to everyone's surprise.

Zheng Huaihuan

They thought that Chen Hui would besiege Iqi Island for ten days and a half, but who knew that he would launch a battle on the first day, and it would be a general attack. Xu An, Zhao Chun and others were also a little stunned. This battle came suddenly.

But on the battlefield, the situation at one moment is different from the situation at the next moment, and the initial calculations and plans may not always be applicable.

Fixed plans cannot directly cover changing situations.

The battlefield is dynamic, a life-and-death situation that changes randomly.

Zheng Huai ordered the sergeants to bombard with the divine machine cannon, and he directly led eight hundred sergeants ashore from the west. Before the roar of the divine machine cannon stopped, he took the lead and rushed into the island.

Xu An led 800 sergeants ashore from the east, Zhao Chun led 800 sergeants ashore from the north, and Chen Hui, Zhou Ya and others brought a thousand sergeants ashore.

Surrounded on all sides, attack and fight!

General Sibo shook his head and shook off the dirt. Seeing that there was no sound of explosion, he stood up carefully and looked around. He walked by the big pits and looked at the wailing sergeants everywhere. Few of them could stand up.

Akamatsu Sawahiro is dead.

Tiangami is really dead.

Where are the Kyogoku Highlighters?

Shibaoyi searched for the Kyogoku highlighter and finally found it. Fortunately, it was just a scratch, nothing serious.

Jingji Gaoguang woke up leisurely, sat and watched the hellish scene, and said sadly to Shiba Yishang: "You must return to the capital alive, tell the minister of Taizheng that you must make a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, surrender to the Ming Dynasty at all costs, and send people to the Ming Dynasty. Learn and get back the secrets of these powerful firearms. Only in this way can the shogunate survive."

General Sibo was in great pain and gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know that Zhu Yunwen, Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, sent back all our envoys and supervisors as soon as he came to power. He even issued an order not to allow us to enter the sea area of ​​​​the Ming Dynasty! Zhu Yunwen, he If he doesn’t like us, he will be on guard against us.”

"Then give him what he wants. People always have weaknesses. If it doesn't work, then find someone to kill Emperor Jianwen. I believe that the Ming Dynasty cannot be monolithic! General Sibo, you should know about the Black Temple to the south Well, there is a secret room down there, I hid my family there, you go, you must get out of here alive and take them to Kyoto!"

Kyogoku Gaoguang took out a blueprint and handed it to General Shiba.

Listening to the approaching killing cries, Shiba Yishou pulled Kyogoku and said, "Let's go together!"

Kyogoku Gaoguang pushed away General Shiba, shook his head, and looked at the blue sky: "Iki Island is the root of the Kyogoku clan, and I am the daimyo of Iki Island. How can I leave when the enemy is coming? If I want to die, I will die. Here! General Shiba, take care!"

Shiba Yi general gritted his teeth, picked up a knife and handed it to Kyogoku Gaoguang, and said solemnly: "I promise you, Iki Island will return to Kyogoku's hands!"

Kyogoku Kōkō held the knife and looked at the charging Ming sergeant. He stepped forward and shouted loudly: "I am Kyogoku Clan Kōgoku Kōkō, the daimyo of Iki Island. Who is coming..."

Puff puff!

Kyogoku Gaoguang looked down at a dozen arrows piercing his body. He raised his head slightly, gritted his teeth and opened his mouth. He was about to speak, but at this moment, an arrow shot straight into the center of his eyebrow...
