Matsudaira Nobutsuna thought that all the warships of the Ming Navy had been assembled here, but he didn't expect that there were still Ming warships in the northwest!

The two fleets in front of them alone are enough for the Dongying fleet, and now there is still a fleet rushing over!

The dense cannonballs kept smashing towards the battleships of the Dongying fleet, and for a while, the Dongying fleet was in a hurry!

The artillery battle between the two sides lasted until dusk, and then gradually stopped, and in just half a day of naval battle, nearly half of the ammunition carried by the Ming Navy was consumed, which made Zha Xuan and Zheng Haotian unaware of some cold air.

In a naval battle, the consumption of artillery shells is as high as 20,000 or 30,000 rounds, as well as tens of thousands of rockets, which is more than 100,000 taels of silver thrown in, not counting the damage of the warship and the casualties of the personnel, no wonder the ministers are unwilling to fight!

However, now Zheng Cai and Matsudaira Nobutsuna's hearts are even more bitter, the ammunition consumption of the Zheng family fleet and the Dongying fleet is not as terrifying as the Ming fleet, but it can't stand the two fleets and the losses are huge, from the beginning of the war to the present, the two fleet warships have been sunk more than 30 ships, more than 20 ships have been severely damaged, and there have been heavy casualties.

Especially Matsudaira Nobutsuna, the distressed and trembling, the disaster of no reason, what is the disaster of no reason, what is the matter with yourself? rushed in recklessly, now it's okay, the loss is heavy, how to explain to the great palace?

However, it is useless to regret it now, and everyone has reached the doorstep, and if you don't fight, you will also face the criticism of your colleagues......

It was getting late, the two sides called off the battle, Zheng Cai and Matsudaira Nobutsuna retreated to Nagasaki, and the Ming fleet retreated to the coast of Fukushima.

The division is unfavorable, Cha Xuan and Zheng Haotian, Qin Mufeng's face is not good-looking, although he took Fukushima, but the attack on the Hirado Domain was met with huge resistance, but the Zheng army blocked it with all his might, and later, even the army of the Nagasaki Domain joined the battle group, adding up, the strength exceeded 20,000 people, and it was not so easy to take the entire Hirado Island into the bag, but it was not so easy.

The Zheng army and the Daimyo's army relied on the favorable terrain to block the attack, which formed a huge trouble for the Tianxiong army, after all, it was a battle far from the homeland, an unfamiliar battlefield, and the Ming army suffered a great loss.

"Damn it, what a shit! Lao Cha, Lao Zheng, how did you do it, you didn't defeat this rabble in a day? So much silver, smashed into it in vain! ”

Qin Mufeng said angrily.

"Shut up!"

Cha Zhu was already angry, but now Qin Mufeng couldn't stop complaining, and Cha Shu naturally couldn't bear it, and shouted angrily.

"You think it's a playhouse! There are two fleets, and there are two small warships alone, and they have a lot of experience, so why don't you take the fleet to battle tomorrow? ”

Qin Mufeng's face stiffened, and he wiped it, if Lao Tzu knew how to fight naval battles, where would it be your turn?

"Okay, the two Governors, when is it, and you still have the heart to quarrel?"

Zheng Haotian looked helpless, and said with a wry smile, "Fortunately, we still have a slight advantage, but the difficulties encountered are greater than expected, as long as we fight, it will definitely be them who can't support it!" ”

Qin Mufeng said ruthlessly: "Dog, this group of foreign devils is really dead, since they are sent to death, no wonder we are ruthless!" ”

Cha Zhu nodded: "Not bad! Grandma's, you have to give them some color! Mufeng, tomorrow, to give you a day, you must take down the entire Hirado Island! Haotian, you led the warships of the front, middle, and rear armies to contain the warships of the Zheng family and Dongying, and assisted the Tianxiong army in attacking Hirado; I rushed to Edo overnight with the left and right flank camps, and Lao Tzu must pay the price of blood in Dongying! ”

The grievances of Cha Shu and others, Matsudaira Nobutsuna and Zheng Cai, Tagawa Nanazaemon are also annoyed!

In particular, Matsudaira Nobutsuna scolded even more.

"Tian Chuan, Zheng Cai, you must give General Ben an explanation, because you, the Ming Empire, have mobilized tens of thousands of elites to attack Dongying! Now that Fukushima is lost, and half of Hirado Island has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, you must know that Hirado and Nagasaki are the most prosperous trading towns in Toei, and once it is invaded by war, Toei will suffer an unbearable heavy blow, you, you just wait for the Great Imperial Palace to ask for guilt! ”

However, Tagawa Nanazaemon is very calm, in the face of Matsudaira Nobutsuna's angry rebuke, not angry but happy, hehe, let's fight, the more lively the fight, the more you Dongying can't stay out of the matter, if you don't drag you into the water, how can we stop the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army?

"Matsudaira-kun, what's the use of talking about this now? Now we are also the courtiers of His Majesty the Emperor, the subordinates of the Tokugawa Shogun, and if the Ming Empire is just encircling us, there is no need to use sixty or seventy thousand troops, right? Obviously, they are not only here for us, but also to take down the whole of Dongying! For today's plan, we can only work together, and the key is to repel the Ming army first, otherwise none of us will be better! Moreover, now that the fight has been fought, even if you want to stop, you can't do it, right? Da Ming won't let me go, will he let you go? Hey hey ......"

I'll go!

Matsudaira Nobutsuna is like taking a bite of stool, disgusting, disgusting, this Tagawa Nanazaemon is sticking to us, we can't shake it off!

However, Tagawa Nanazaemon is right, now that the fight is fought, the Ming Empire will still let Dongying go, and it will not be a one-day battle, although the Dongying fleet has suffered heavy losses, and the Ming Navy has also suffered a lot of losses, and the Ming Empire will definitely not be able to swallow this breath!

Matsudaira Nobutsuna looked at Matsuura and asked, "Matsuura-kun, what do you think?" ”

Matsuura Zhenxin snorted coldly: "No matter what happens to the Tagawa clan, this daimyo only has one sentence, no matter who fights Nagasaki and Hirado Mishima, they are the sworn enemies of my Matsuura family, even the Ming Empire!" Our Matsuura family will fight to the end! ”

"Okay, since Matsuura-kun has spoken, then we will go all out to prepare for war and immediately send a letter to the Tokugawa general, asking for the support of the shogunate army, this time we must let the army of the Ming Empire come and go!"

The next day, as soon as the sky was brightened, Qin Mufeng couldn't wait to command the Tianxiong Army to launch a fierce attack on Hirado Island!

This time, Qin Mufeng pressed the entire land battalion, leaving only the cavalry and amphibious battalion to guard Fukushima.

The 40,000-strong army was densely packed, divided into three divisions, and launched an attack in the north, northwest, and northeast directions at the same time, and threw in three artillery battalions and fifty artillery pieces in one go, and stormed the Zheng army and the Japanese army.

The army of 40,000 was crushed like Mount Tai crushed! At this time, Matsuura Zhenxin and Matsudaira Nobutsuna realized how strong and ferocious the invading Ming army was!
