Osaka Bay, in the words of the Warring States period, was a sea battle that could influence the situation in the world.

Gathering the capable soldiers of the pirates under the Daimyo of the Western Province, the troops were divided into four routes and launched an attack on the Oda Naval Army defending the Kizu River at the same time.

In Takatoshio's eyes, it was obvious that this was a land battle at sea.

When the ships collided, the ships fought with swords and a huge number of spears, mixed with a small number of iron cannons and large bows, and quickly reaped the lives of the enemy, and at the same time were killed and wounded by the enemy.

The huge size of the shark ship floated slowly on the sea, seemingly incompatible with the adjacent battlefield that had become a sea of fire, and Takashi looked at the battlefield situation like a real general, and his mind was extremely calm - that is, under the classical feudal system of Japan's Warring States, he could take stock of the situation so calmly, after all, outsiders are always calmer than insiders.

The Oda Naval Army had good military discipline, and even though it was inferior in terms of military strength, it had more courage than the Four-Route Naval Army in the battle, and the number of iron cannons far exceeded that of the Four-Route Naval Army.

In the past, the Murakami navy, which was attached to the Mori clan, was known as the best in the world, and they played a vital role in water warfare like the roasted jade of the clay pot palm thunder, facing the ship's planks that resembled wooden walls, and a few clay pots could be thrown into the ship so that the enemy had nowhere to escape, but because of this, the momentum of the Murakami's attack was too fierce, and it went straight into the encirclement arranged by the Oda naval army along the coast.

On the Kizu Kawaguchi position, the longbow iron artillery team that had been in ambush for a long time launched an attack on the sea at the same time after they entered the firing range, and the longbow team waited for an opportunity, and the independent iron artillery team shone at this moment, and even attracted the attention of Taka Toshio in the rear.

The Oda naval army on the sea was not equipped with many iron cannons, and a small ship carrying twenty pirates may have eight archers, but there will only be one or two iron gunners, and none of them are independent formations, but the iron gunners on the shore are different, more than 300 iron cannons form a formation, and fire a salvo to the sea according to the trenches and wooden barriers dug out.

At the same time there was only one hundred-man team shooting, and when the shooting was over, the iron cannon in his hand was handed behind him, and another one was taken and continued to shoot, each of them with two chargers.

Moreover, they also had several large iron cannons called large barrels in their formation, which fired more slowly, but the shells weighed a tael, and each time they fired, they brought a loud thunderbolt like a thunderbolt, and the small boat could penetrate the ship's plank.

Seeing that Murakami's naval army was attacked by land and sea and entered a disadvantage, the Matsuura Japanese Kou on the other side broke out of the gap in the ship formation, outflanked the Oda Army from the other direction, and divided the fleet to return fire with longbow and iron cannon to the shore iron artillery team - Matsuura Japanese Kou was the most firearms and equipment in the Four Route Naval Army, as the Matsuura clan in Nagasaki, which was next to the dumping place of the Nanyang Military Government, they were the first to trade with the Portuguese and Wang Zhi, and a large number of firearms flowed from the Ming Dynasty.

Catching up with the replacement of weapons in Guangdong, the past arquebus guns and old-style firecrackers also have a batch of high-priced exports, and the quality is naturally far inferior to the iron cannons built by Kyushu Island itself, but it is better than the quantity, and these former Japanese robbers can get a firearm before the three people go out, although they don't expect to hold anything good in their hands, at least they have the ability to fight back.

During the long period of learning to handle inferior firearms, Matsuura Wako created a special way of using firearms, that is, to stretch out his arms as much as possible to keep the iron cannon and fire gun away from his face and body, which is called Matsuura Ryu Iron Bombardment.

Through the prismatic shooting holes in the wall of the ship, a pole of length and short guns was erected, and it fired indiscriminately at the shore from a distance of more than 100 paces, although the accuracy was extremely low, but it relied on a large number of firearms to fire volleys to suppress the guns on the case for a time.

Relying on this moment of respite, Murakami's naval forces gathered their forces to fight with the outflanked Oda naval army, and before the fleets of Takashi Yuo's Chinese army reached the edge of the battlefield, the two sides burned each other's more than a dozen large and small warships.

Commanding the defense on the shore was the Oda clan general Sakuma Nobumori, seeing that the defense of the naval army under his command was not good, his eyes kept looking at the twelve large ships floating on the sea in the distance, he knew very well that they were their real enemies, compared to the twelve great ships, their warships were vulnerable in the naval battle.

Even though he still had more than 200 warships ambushed in various estuaries as ambushes, there were no huge houses among the more than 200 warships, and Xiao Hayafune was afraid that he would be smashed before the battle was even engaged in the face of the huge ships, and no matter how many ships wanted to win the naval battle, it was also wishful thinking.

"Let the teams get off the ship, set up a formation at the mouth of the Imjin River, and order the sailors to retreat to the land, our opponent is a water thief, and if we get the momentum, we will inevitably land and take them indiscriminately, lead them into the inland river, arrange a siege fleet between the two estuaries, and defeat them by land!"

The so-called indiscriminate taking, which refers to the plundering and burning of places after victory, is a difficult part of war in any country and any era, in addition to human hunting, that is, the slave market for buying and selling people.

In contrast, the so-called brutal Oda Nobunaga had an extraordinary humanity in both aspects, and before Joraku, he had also taken it wantonly, but after Kamiraku, he strictly imposed military discipline on the Gyeonggi region, and he usually only sold it for money, of course, his brutality was not in this regard at all.

Other daimyo are different, for example, Takeda Shingen, who is known as the god of war, because there is a mine at home, and other people's people hunt a common person and sell it for twenty or thirty yuan, in order to prevent the slave from redeeming himself, he priced the slave for one or two dollars, and if he can't redeem himself, he will put it into the mine, and the man will take it to mine, and the woman will take it to make people sleep.

Another military god, Uesugi Kenshin, is much better, the permanent slave market in Kasuga Mountain Castle has never been like Shingen, and it is sold at a flat price of twenty or thirty yuan, and the occasional slaughter of the city or something is not a big deal.

In the era of life-and-death military warfare, brutality is the common nature of human beings, of course, there is true benevolence and righteousness in the world, but those who really pay attention to benevolence and righteousness will die before others know their benevolence, and the benevolence that remains is only great righteousness, and even if there is, it is different from the benevolence and righteousness of later generations.

And the righteousness of the era of military struggle, often loyal to the king and diligent king is the righteousness, and the monarch is a hero when he is in battle.

Four thousand Oda Ashigaru were divided into three routes and fourteen teams led by their respective samurai, and the formations were concealed according to the river, and the warships of each team on the sea also slowly shrank towards the inland river under the order of the land, and gradually closed the formation to the land, Takatoshio's plan fell through, and the pirates under his command did not hesitate to pursue to the land without Sakuma Nobumori's expectations.

However, unlike Sakuma Nobumori's prediction, he underestimated the pirates' enthusiasm for victory, burning, and looting—one after another, the small ships rushed up to the shallows, with a worrying loud noise of the boats rubbing against the gravel, and a group of poorly armored pirates rushed to land, and the captains shouted military orders, and the soldiers hurriedly assembled, and some jumped off the warships and rushed straight to the hundreds of Oda troops stationed at the Kizu Kawaguchi.

There were even others, often Matsuura Wakos, who stood on the inclined boats, regardless of the distance, and spread out their arms and fired indiscriminately with iron cannons.

On the sea, Long Junxiong knocked his head in distress: "Oops, it's messy!" ”
