The attack was blocked, which made Tokugawa Ieyasu very angry. He immediately summoned his staff to discuss countermeasures. Faced with Shangshan Kagekatsu's approach, Tokugawa Ieyasu's staff proposed the same idea. They could dismantle the naval ballistae and use ballistae to attack it.
The crossbow can be dismantled by Shang Jingsheng. This is because there are few naval forces and there is little opposition. Tokugawa Ieyasu inherited most of the island country's naval forces. It is conceivable that the opposition will be heard. The staff member who put forward the opinion was almost killed.
Spray to death.
In fact, even if no one is correct, this suggestion will not work for the attacker. Shangshan Jingsheng can use it because the ballistae is arranged on the city wall, and the attacker has no place to fix it. A ship-borne ballistae is such a huge instrument.
It is also impossible to push it manually.
Although Tokugawa Ieyasu did not adopt this opinion, Tokugawa Ieyasu also thought of his navy. If he had the support of his navy, wouldn't he not have to worry about the crossbows of Kamikaze Kagekatsu! Of course, these ship-borne ballistae,
The range was limited, but Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately changed the attack route and ordered the army to attack along the coastline.
With the help of the powerful firepower of the navy, Tokugawa Ieyasu's army successively captured several port cities in Kagekatsu Kamikama. Kagekatsu Kamikachi knew very well that his naval strength could not compare with Tokugawa Ieyasu, so he gave up directly.
Most of the coastal cities were occupied, and only a few important ports were heavily defended. The army was mainly placed on Tokugawa Ieyasu and the cities outside the range of the naval fleet.
As the two sides came and went, Tokugawa Ieyasu's army continued along the coast and penetrated deeply into the territory of Shangshan scenery. At this time, Zeng Yi had secretly left the island country and returned to the Port of Busan in North Korea. He had already received a message from the Southern Navy fleet.
information.
Compared with the Northern Army, the Southern Fleet was very polite to Zeng Yi when they met for the first time. After all, although the Southern Fleet did not express its stance, it had no hatred towards Zeng Yi and the others, "Master Ni!"
"General!" Zeng Yi quickly said, looking at the naval commander of the Southern Fleet who was very polite to him.
"Master Ni, we received the order from the old prince. I wonder what the situation is like in the island country now?"
Zeng Yi quickly told the navy about the battle situation between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Shangshan Kagekatsu. After listening to Zeng Yi's words, the people in the southern navy nodded: "This is indeed an opportunity, but I don't know, Tokugawa Ieyasu's
Navy, what's your next move?"
Zeng Yi quickly pointed to the map and said: "We have also made certain guesses about Tokugawa Ieyasu's marching route. According to our deduction, the ultimate goal of Tokugawa Ieyasu's navy should be this port, which is 100 meters away from Shangshan scenery."
The nest is the closest in a straight line. Tokugawa Ieyasu's frontal attack is blocked. If the naval army can capture this place and send a large army from here to directly attack the mansion of Kamishiro Keishipan, then Kamishiro Keishei's nest will be in danger. If
If the old nest is breached, Shangshan Jingsheng is basically finished. If the navy wants to take action, our pro-military captain's office is of the opinion that the island country's navy should be intercepted and killed here!"
A group of officers came to the Southern Navy Fleet and studied the map for a while. The Navy Commander nodded and said: "Senior Ni is indeed a great talent. It is basically consistent with our deduction. Tokugawa Ieyasu's goal is most likely here!"
Most of the forces of the pro-military captain's office were placed on Tokugawa Ieyasu's offensive route. Two days later, the pro-military commander's office received news that Tokugawa Ieyasu had arrived and was near the deduced destination of Zeng Yi and others.
After receiving this information, whoever in the south could secretly leave the port that night and attack the island country overnight. As expected by Zeng Yi and others, Tokugawa Ieyasu's destination was there, and the next day Tokugawa Ieyasu's naval forces launched an attack on that island.
A port attack was launched.
Zeng Yi and others were able to deduce Tokugawa Ieyasu's plan, and Shangshan Kagekatsu, who knew Tokugawa Ieyasu very well, could also deduce it. Shangshan Kagekatsu made arrangements in advance and sent out an elite army to attack the port.
Key defenses were carried out. However, Kagekatsu Kamikachi had lost his naval power, and there was nothing he could do against Tokugawa Ieyasu's navy.
Zeng Yi and four others followed the Southern Navy fleet, which had several ironclad ships as the main force. After sailing all night, they had sneakily entered the island country's waters. When Tokugawa Ieyasu launched an attack on the port, the Southern Navy fleet actually
Already quietly, the surrounding layout of the port has been completed.
The port attack and defense battle was very brutal. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu's navy was strong, the occupation would eventually require landing operations. Kagekatsu Kamikami deployed ship-borne ballistae at the port, which could also provide fire support to Tokugawa Ieyasu's navy fleet.
With a certain amount of fire support and fighting on the road, both sides are actually evenly matched.
The Southern Navy Fleet did not rush to launch an attack. On the one hand, it was to make the island internally consume more of Tokugawa Ieyasu's strength. On the other hand, the Southern Navy Fleet also considered it for its own sake. In terms of the intensity of the war, Tokugawa Ieyasu
The supplies carried by the navy fleet cannot last long. Once their supplies are exhausted, the southern navy fleet launches an attack, which will be much easier.
However, Zeng Yi and others still underestimated the island nation's navy. The island nation's navy also knew that its supplies could not last long. During the attack, supply ships had already set off to deliver supplies, and these days
A rapidly approaching supply ship happened to meet Zeng Yi and the others dozens of nautical miles away from the port!
Those transport ships were stunned when they suddenly saw such a huge fleet. After a moment, several transport ships reacted and immediately rushed into the port at full speed. Zeng Yi and the others did not expect that the island country's navy would come in.
They appeared from behind and hurriedly launched an attack on several island nation transport ships. Unfortunately, after sinking several ships, they were still broken through by an injured transport plane.
"Made, you're careless! General, you can't wait any longer and give the order directly, get ready and get ready to take action!" The commander of the Southern Navy frowned and nodded, and ordered all ships to get ready.
In the port, the winner was almost decided at this time. Shangshan Jingsheng was still a little weak after all. After the crossbows fired at each other for more than ten rounds, the arrows were exhausted. Without the firepower of the crossbows to suppress them, the enemy faced
Facing the tens of thousands of troops that Tokugawa Ieyasu landed, Kage Shang was overwhelmed by the troops and finally couldn't stand it anymore.
The city gate was breached, and the morale of Tokugawa Ieyasu's army greatly increased. Just when they were about to enter the city, the seriously injured supply ship finally defeated Tokugawa Ieyasu's navy! "Quick, quick! Report to the general!"
Outside, a large navy fleet was spotted outside!"
"What! Could it be that Shangshan Jingsheng also has a navy army?"
"No, it's not Shangshan Jingsheng's navy. Its flagship is a first-class ironclad! It's very, very likely that it's the Central Plains navy!" (To be continued)
