Before the Mikami Yuren moved, the port had already taken action. As one of Japan's more important ports, some shogunate naval troops stationed here all year round. However, the current shogunate manufacturing capabilities are not very powerful. Thanks to the previous civil war, Japan's manpower has retreated a lot. Without enough manpower, it is naturally impossible to replace warship equipment in this era. Therefore, there are only thirty small boats here, and there are only five real main ships.

There is only a small-caliber six-pound cannon on the boat, and there are three twelve-pound cannons and seven six-pound cannons on the boat. Some were obtained from the Dutch Portuguese Spaniards, and some were copied by themselves. Of course, it is OK to shoot, but the hit rate is really impossible. The shogunate cannot train qualified naval forces, and these Japanese people riding the boat have more skills learned from the pirate group.

The naval battle of pirates and the naval battle of regular naval battle are completely different. One is for the purpose of robbing property, and the other is for the purpose of defeating the enemy. Different purposes lead to different ways of fighting between the two. Pirates also have to worry about damaging the target ships and causing the property to fall into the sea. Which ship is a major threat to the regular army, which ship will be concentrated first. The five houseboats stand out among the thirty large and small offshore ships. Therefore, they were first discovered by Cameron and Adam.

The two commanders ordered together that thirty warships turned their muzzles towards them. They slowly approached the range and began to gather fire at 800 meters away. After scattering a wide net and fishing more, the first wave of attacks on the three Anzhai ships were each hit one or two shells. The result was not too bad, especially for a sailing fleet with no fire control equipment installed and mostly new crew members. Even if there were only one or two shells, it caused serious injuries to the five Anzhai ships that were only slightly worse than the fatal injury.

With the firelight flying, wooden blocks and wailing Japanese sailors, the speed of the three Anzhai ships suddenly dropped sharply. The target speed weakened, and the difficulty of aiming was reduced by half. The new recruits in the fleet were extremely excited. This was the first regular naval battle they had to fight to the navy, and they had to work hard. In less than three minutes, the second shelling came again, and they also used the method of casting wide nets and fishing more. Two explosions occurred on the five Anzhai ships and began to slowly sink.

This tactic is only applicable when the power gap between the two sides is obvious. Except for these three Anzhai ships that may pose a threat to the scissors, the other small boats are not taken seriously by Cameron and others. Even if they are let go to close and shoot, they cannot pose much threat to the scissors' armor. Because the ship is low, it is difficult for them to even break the sails of the ship. This is also the norm here and the bad news caused by China.

China has always mainly developed inland warships. In the Ming Dynasty, it was necessary to escape this restriction, but it was pushed back by a ban on sea. Later, the Qing Dynasty also implemented a ban on sea, which made warship technology not have any breakthroughs. On the one hand, without the big brother of China, other Korean and Japanese had no place to obtain advanced ship technology. And without the powerful naval oppression of China, these countries would not pay much attention to the research on naval warships and would not invest enough.

The remaining thirty small boats were also shocked at this time. Their main warships were sent to the bottom of the sea by the enemy less than ten minutes after the war started. These ships that were just used to fight auxiliary were completely useless to the enemy's fleet. They were stunned for a moment and watched Cameron and his friends approach quickly. The sailors on the ship screamed and immediately drove the ship away from here. They would rather be deserters than stay here to face the powerful fleet led by Cameron.

Similarly, when he saw the entire naval battle at the watchtower on the city, Yuren Sankan, who was frightened, shouted at the troops below who were preparing to leave the city to support him. When the enemy's artillery was fired, it would explode when he arrived at the place. He could not imagine what a terrible situation would cause such a weapon to attack their **. Fortunately, they were in the city, as expected, and would not be attacked by warship artillery. Yuren Sankan immediately began to set up defenses on the city walls. One by one, one iron cannon came to the city and chose their shooting positions.

The long-range young men also put down their long spears, picked up the inventory of bows and arrows, and went to the city to supplement the shooting power of the iron cannon foot. Yuren Sankan did not see any armor on the warriors on their bodies, but instead had them go blue or black clothes, so he asked someone to take out a batch of bows and arrows. Until Cameron and the others arrived, they were not attacked by Japanese people. Two modified cruisers guarded the Xinghanhui transport ships and began to enter the port.

The transport ship lowered its pedals, and the soldiers of the Xinghan Association landed in an orderly manner under the leadership of Lin Xin's second-in-commander Wei Ming. Slowly, they put down more pedals and the cannons began to get off the ship. Another ship pulled their cannons down, and they were all strong mules. Half an hour later, two thousand soldiers of the Xinghan Association completed their queues in the empty port. It was also the first time they were engaged in landing operations. It was good that they did not drop the cannons into the sea, and they really couldn't have too high speed requirements.

Yuto Mikami also wanted to take advantage of this time to rule out the cavalry attacking them, but in front of two modified cruisers that were more than twice the size of Anzhai Ship, he decisively cowarded. Yuto Mikami watched the people from Xinghanhui bring down a terrible artillery, and his heart slowly sank to the bottom of the valley. So many artillery were still shining with black light, and it looked better than the garbage on their city. Yuto Mikami was a little unsure and sent cavalry to the nearby Sado gold mine to send messages, hoping to get the thousand elite troops to come and defend together.

Without Aikawa Castle, they would not be able to live up to them. At least one place is gone, so they will have no food and drink. With only gold and no food and water sources, they will have to die on them. Instead of being trapped and dying and being easily cleaned up by others, it would be better to work hard in Aikawa Castle with them. He believed that no matter where the leader, his friend Hayato Watanabe, would definitely think of this.

The soldiers of the Xinghan Association were not in a hurry to attack. Wei Ming followed Lin Xin before he was captured and went to North America. He received the company's systematic education in North America and had long since changed from an ordinary fisherman's son to a qualified commander. He knew that at this time, Aikawa Castle was very cautious, and the enemy hid at the top of the city waiting for them to arrive. The so-called one-stop effort, then declined, and exhausted three times. At this time, the enemy's morale happened to be at the highest level.

After a few hours of hardening them, the spirit of these people was polished, and it would be easy to fight. As for the enemy with reinforcements, they must have only one thousand people from the gold mine. Wei Ming hoped that they would bring their people to Aikawa Castle. In this way, he could kill all the enemies of Sado Island in one go. There would be no situation where they fled into the gold mine, hurting the miners and fighting guerrilla warfare. Just so, some of the two thousand people were still seasick.

The conditions of Xinghan Association were not very good, and it was impossible to train everyone to be proficient in water. It was normal for some new recruits to have this reaction. Wei Ming asked them to prepare hot water for them. As long as they recovered for a few hours, nothing would happen. Bullets and shells were transported by people who were not seasick. The carriages found from the port and the carriages they assembled themselves became equipment for transporting these. The soldiers began to check the status of guns, artillery and gunpowder to ensure that there would be no unexpected situations after the battle began.

Four hours later, Yuto Mikami was already very impatient. This season was summer, and it was not very cool. He stayed at the city wall for three hours under the sun, and he felt that his strength was about to be exhausted. Not only him, but the three thousand warriors under his command were in similar condition at this time. Some of them had already taken out their rice balls and started to replenish their lost physical strength. The only good news was that Hayato Watanabe had already brought his army into Aikawa Castle, and he could come over to work with them to defend together.

At this time, Xinghanhui completed the renovation and the soldiers were all restored to good condition. Wei Ming ordered to start attacking. Two thousand people and dozens of mules began to advance towards Aichuan Castle in an orderly manner but without losing speed. A thousand meters away, everyone stopped. The batch of artillery sold to Lin Xin were all artillery that the company had improved to the most perfect state. At this distance, they were already enough to exert their strength. In the absence of artillery numbers, only the infantry could help more.

After the artillery is fixed, the firing angle is immediately adjusted. The shooting parameter determination technology inherited from Xiao Lin can concentrate the drop points of these front-loaded rifled guns into a circular area with a diameter of 50 meters, which is enough to open an entrance for the soldiers to enter Kagawa Castle. The front-loaded rifled gun is worthy of being the most powerful artillery besides the rear-loaded gun. When it fires, it is also earth-shaking. Thirty solid steel shells of all sizes hit the city wall, and a loud bang. You can easily see cracks on the foot on the city wall.

The Foots fled in horror from the area where the crack was located, and even stepped on the body of the comrade who was shocked by the shelling and rolled out. The scene alarmed the samurai who was commanding. Yuto Mikami received the news soon after. He realized that the enemy was going to use cannons to open a gap. Before he could command, the second round of artillery had arrived and the city wall began to collapse. Yuto Mikami, who had not had time to escape, was shocked to death. Yuto Mikami quickly asked Hayato Watanabe's troops to set up defenses behind the gap, but fortunately they did not come up.
