Iron warship?

Yoshiji Ashikaga was a little puzzled. Why did the steel-built warships float on the sea? But whether he could understand or not, the Ming Dynasty's steel warships had arrived in Japan. This is a fact.

It's useless to think about more.

What we need to understand now is how attack power and defense capabilities of this steel warship are.

Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshika tends to test and attack first.

However, the generals and other military forces disagree. Everyone agreed that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, the enemy only had five warships, and even if they were made of steel, there were only five.

On the flagships of these five warships, there are four people who most admire the power among the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty.

If these four people were wiped out, and the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi has always been kind-hearted, he probably wouldn't think about expeditioning to Japan anymore - but don't underestimate the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi. Those who can defend hundreds of thousands of people's attack on Peiping and dare to go out of the city to counterattack are definitely not as simple as Renhou, and they have some tricks in military affairs.

But Zhu Gaochi shouldn't have thought that Zhu Di was so powerful and powerful.

No matter how many years it will take to come to the expedition.

Then Japan will usher in the golden development period, use this time to defeat the Ming Dynasty Steel Fleet, acquire their technology, and develop the Japanese navy fleet, not only can it cope with the expedition after the Ming Dynasty, but also have the opportunity to go to China at a certain appropriate time in the future!

And if there is a tentative attack, what if Zhu Di sees that he is going to lose and run away?

Can you catch up?

Even if we can catch up with other people's steel warships, if we are determined to run away and don't fight, what can we do to stop them? Therefore, we must take advantage of Zhu Di's intention to escape now, and use the ant colony tactic to swallow the five warships.

In fact, Yoshihisa Ashikaga was also very moved by this strategy.

After all, the other party only has five warships.

And more than 100 ships on our side, dozens of times the number of enemy troops, basically no chance of losing.

Yoshita Ashikaga stood on the top of the hill, looking at the sea surface, and then looked at the infantry defense lines along the coast. Although the Ming Dynasty had firearms, his soldiers dug several deep pits along the coast and piled up a line with stones, which could effectively block the Ming Dynasty's firearms' shooting, and his firearms could also effectively counterattack.

If both sides enter hand-to-hand combat, Ashikaga Yoshika does not believe that the Japanese army, which is waiting for work, will lose.

So I was not afraid of the landing of the Ming Dynasty.

I believe that the Ming Dynasty will give up landing once or twice, and will only engage in naval battles. However, regardless of the naval battles, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to conquer Japan. In other words, Japan has become invincible this time with the real Ming Dynasty.

After all, we have 200,000 infantry troops, which can defend against the Mingxiong Army from any place to land.

As long as the login is not successful, the Ming Dynasty will definitely withdraw.

He could not float in the Japanese Strait forever. Even with North Korea's logistics support, the fleet could not float in the Strait for a year or two - could Zhu Di do it, and those soldiers do it?

Impossible.

Thinking of this, Ashikaga Yoshika became more and more moved. Otherwise, I would try it, could he overturn Zhu Di’s five warships?

Many ants chew on the elephant to death.

Just when Ashikaga Yoshikaga wanted to take the initiative to attack, a navy general rushed over and said to Ashikaga Yoshikaga: "General, Zhu Di's five warships seem to be preparing for an attack, and the formation has changed."

Ashikaga Yoshika sneered.

The five warships dared to attack actively - that's right, after all, they are coming to an expedition. If they don't attack actively, would they run over and be beaten passively?

Proactive attack is in line with Zhu Di's personality.

Ask the general, "Have you ever observed any weaknesses of those five warships?"

The general thought about it, "At present, it was just a distance contact. The enemy and us did not fight. I don't know. But it was very strange. There were no artillery on both sides of the five steel warships. Instead, there were two extremely huge cannons on the flagship, so it was strange. Could it be that the five steel warships were only equipped with two super huge cannons? Does the Ming Dynasty want to rely on these two cannons to fight us?"

Ashikaga Yoshiji was stunned for a moment, "Only two cannons?"

This is impossible.

If there were only two artillery pieces, would it mean that the five warships had all the navy soldiers? Zhu Di had no intention of naval battle at all, but had landed directly?

If this is the case, it will be understandable.

Steel warships are not equipped with artillery, but rely on the strong defense of steel to resist the biting and siege of their own warships. Their navy soldiers landed without fear of sacrifice. Once they landed, they could occupy favorable terrain for defense and attack.

But there is another situation, that is, the steel warship is actually equipped with artillery, but it is hidden in the hull and cannot be seen. When waiting for the war to begin, windows on both sides of the ship can reveal the cannon shooting hole.

Ashikaga Yoshihisa asked: "How many troops are there in the five warships?"

General Avenue: "The coarse cloth is estimated to be only 5,000, but the problem is that all of these 5,000 people seem to be holding three-eyed muskets, and there seems to be machine guns that have appeared in Yiliba."

Ashikaga Yoshiji suddenly realized.

I understand!

Zhu Di really doesn't want to fight at sea.

The Five Thousand Shenji Camp also carried machine guns. It was obvious that they wanted to log in, then occupy the terrain, control an area, and wait for the subsequent army to continue to log in.

To be honest, if it weren't for the recent research on firearms, without digging the trenches in advance and building defense lines with stones, the Five Thousand Shenji Camp would have really been able to land unstoppable.

Because the firearms on our side are not as powerful as those on the open firearms.

Moreover, the two extremely huge cannons on Zhu Di's flagship should be prepared for landing. Maybe those two cannons are the ace power of landing warfare.

Yoshiji Ashikaga made up his mind almost instantly.

Let Zhu Di approach the sea.

When they land, they will use one hundred warships to siege and harass them, so that the two artillery can have the opportunity to attack easily. Even if the Ming Dynasty's heroes want to land, the fleet can still harass the landing of the Ming Navy soldiers. Then, with the counterattack of the infantry on the land, it may defeat Zhu Di.

There is no need to wait for Zhu Di to land at all, and his fleet can launch a full siege. After all, it is near the sea, and it is too late for Zhu Di to withdraw at that time. The most important point is that there are many reefs in the near the sea, and Zhu Di's fleet is unclear about the sea conditions, so they may be able to run into the reefs and cause trouble in it.

Yoshichi Ashikaga immediately made up his mind.

Let Zhu Di go to the near sea and fight again!

Didn’t Zhu Di want to fight a naval battle? I just want to fight a naval battle with you and don’t give you a chance to log in!

Yoshikashi Ashikaga quickly rushed back to the command tent and gave the situation to the generals under his command and the leaders of those military forces. After a detailed analysis, the agreement was quickly reached.
