Although the Shogunate Army was caught off guard by the Shogunate New Army, the Shogunate New Army only reacted after a few minutes of confusion and began a fierce counterattack, the rifled guns of the Shogunate New Army were accurate and ruthless, and the dense bullets continued to burrow into the grass, causing a thick blood mist to spray out of the grass.

The new shogunate fired a volley of bullets, followed by a grenade that blew up the grass and flesh.

After all, Kayama Kumori of the Shogunate Army was a famous general, and he knew that this was not the time to fight hard with the Shogunate New Army, but to destroy the four super heavy guns that looked particularly fierce in the Shogunate New Army. As long as the four fifteen-centimeter heavy guns of the shogunate army were destroyed, it would be difficult for the shogunate army to conquer the castle near Kyoto, where the shogunate army was entrenched.

"Rush up and destroy those four cannons!" Kayama Kumori shouted.

The ashigaru pikemen in the front row of the Shogunate immediately jumped up and slaughtered in the direction of the heavy artillery of the new shogunate, followed by a large group of well-armored samurai.

Tokugawa Ienobu, who was in charge of leading the command, saw through the attempt to bring down the shogunate at once, and he shouted, "Stop the rebels!" Don't let them get near our heavy artillery! ”

After all, Tokugawa Ienobu is the next generation of Tokugawa shoguns trained by Tokugawa Tsunyoshi, and he is still very capable of commanding. Seeing through the intentions of the Fallen Shogun, he immediately personally took five hundred light cavalry armed with rear-loading guns, and carried two mortars and two hand-cranked machine guns to reinforce the artillery attacked by the Fallen Shogun.

Five hundred light cavalry galloped away and slaughtered the fallen army.

Spotting the rushing cavalry, the spearmen of the Fallen Curtain Army immediately formed a formation in an attempt to block the cavalry onslaught.

Who knew that the cavalry of the new shogunate army did not rush forward, but stopped when it was still more than a hundred meters away from the pikemen formation of the fallen shogunate army, and the cavalry of the new shogunate army on horseback raised their guns one after another, shooting in a row, the tongue of fire spewed, the white smoke rose up, and the bullets knocked down a piece of the pikemen of the fallen shogunate.

After a round of bullets, the cavalry of the new shogunate army methodically loaded their horses with bullets, and after reloading the bullets, another volley was fired, which once again knocked over a large number of pikemen of the fallen shogunate.

"Quick! Rush over and kill all their infantry! Their cavalry was pinned down by us! Kayama Kumori drew his command knife and pointed forward, and more than 1,000 cavalry of the fallen shogunate army rushed out of formation and killed the infantry of the new shogunate army.

The 7.5 centimeter mountain cannon of the new shogunate army spit out tongues of fire, and the shells fell in the formation of the cavalry of the fallen shogunate, and the war horses made a mournful neighing sound, and they fell down one after another, and the cavalry of the fallen shogunate on horseback fell from their horses one after another, and then they were trampled into meat by the war horses behind.

The cavalry of the Shogunate continued to charge, and were fired by a volley of infantry platoons of the New Shogunate, and many people were killed in front of the battle. Just as the Fallen Shogunate cavalry was about to rush to the flank of the Shogunate New Army, four Shogunate New Army soldiers came out with a strange weapon and aimed it at the cavalry who was about to rush in front of them.

"What kind of cannon is that?" One of the fallen cavalrymen was horrified when he saw a "small cannon" aimed at him. But he thought to himself: As long as I rush over and block a cannonball for my companions, the companions behind me will be able to go up and kill them all!

The "small cannon" in front of him spat out tongues of fire, and the thoughts in the mind of the fallen cavalryman came to an abrupt end, and he only felt that he had been beaten into a hornet's nest, and his whole body was light, and he fell off the horse's back.

The two "small cannons" arranged on the flanks spat out tongues of fire one after another, and the cavalry of the fallen curtain army that was about to rush up was fired at by crossfire, and one by one they were thrown down in front of the formation.

The few remaining cavalry of the Fallen Curtain Army rushed to the front, but they were all planted and dismounted by a volley of guns.

The four mortars of the "Boom Boom" flew out shells in succession, and the dense shells fell like hail in the crowd of infantry of the Fallen Curtain Army, and the shells that landed immediately set up a ball of fireball, and the infantry of the Fallen Curtain Army was blown up in a pool of blood by piles of explosions.

The iron gunners of the fallen shogunate army, who followed behind the ashigaru pikemen, raised their arquebuses and fired at the cavalry of the new shogunate, but the arquebuses were almost lethal against targets more than 150 meters away.

The cavalry of the new shogunate army opened fire one after another, and the formation of the ashigaru pikemen of the fallen shogunate army in front collapsed, and they all turned and fled. The samurai in the back drew their swords and cut down many of the ashigaru pikemen, but they still couldn't stop their rout.

A row of gunshots rang out, and the bullets fired by the light cavalry of the new shogunate army burrowed into the crowd of samurai of the shogunate, and the bullets easily penetrated the fine armor of the samurai of the shogunate like a wire piercing tofu, and knocked them down one by one in a pool of blood.

Even the samurai, who were not afraid of death, could not resist such a one-sided slaughter.

The Fallen Curtain Army was defeated, the formation had completely collapsed, and everyone turned their heads and fled desperately.

In Kyoto Castle, Shimazu Tsunaki received news of the defeat of the Shogunate Army in the Toba area. Misfortune is not alone, someone has just reported the news of the fiasco, and another messenger from Kyushu Island has come to report: "Domain lord, something is wrong!" The Ming sent out a fleet, and our fleet was attacked by them in the Ryukyu Seas! ”

It turned out that after receiving Tokugawa Tsunyoshi's letter, Wang Yu immediately sent an ironclad fleet to the Ryukyu Sea to attack the sailors of the Satsuma Domain. Although this fleet was far less large than the Armada bound for the Americas, it also had two 4,000-ton ironclad cruisers, four 2,000-ton ironclad cruisers, and six 500-ton ironclad gunboats.

"Report to your lordship, we have spotted a fleet heading towards us!" A sailor of the Satsuma clan reported to Shinna Chungcheong.

Xinna Zhongqing walked up to the helm tower, picked up the binoculars, and saw a black fleet appear on the sea in the distance, and then look at the flag hoisted by the fleet, which was the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty.

Although I don't know what the purpose of the Ming fleet came at this time, Shinna Chungqing also knows that the Tokugawa shogunate and the Ming are allies! An ally of the enemy, of course, is also an enemy! So he didn't dare to slack off, and ordered the sailors to prepare to meet the enemy.

When the distance between the two sides was still three kilometers, the rapidly approaching Ming fleet had already opened fire, only to see gray-black Ming warships spit out balls of fireballs, and the shells roared and fell on the sea, raising columns of water that rushed to the sky. I also thought in Xinna Zhongqing's heart: Why did the people of the Ming Kingdom open fire so far away? How many quasi-heads are there? , he saw with his own eyes that a Satsuma Domain's warship had been hit by a cannonball.

With a flash of dazzling red light, the Satsuma Domain's warship burst into flames, and the broken planks flew into the air and fell into the water. The warship, which had been shot, was directly blown in two by the waist and slowly sank on the sea.

The Ming fleet continued to get closer, and smashed into the Satsuma Domain's naval division warship group, led by two 4,000-ton cruisers that opened their bows left and right, and every time a round of shells flew out, one of the Satsuma Domain's warships caught fire and sank.

"Boom" a Satsuma Domain warship was hit by a Ming cruiser and immediately smashed into two, and then the 4,000-ton cruiser directly ran over the wooden warship of the Satsuma Domain, crushing the unlucky warship to the bottom of the sea.
