The sound of cannons rumbled on the sea in Edo Bay, and the entire Edo was panicked.

The battlefield of Heido is not far from Edo, but only more than ten miles away. The dense and violent sound of cannons like thunder can be clearly heard from the entire Edo up and down.

The merchants and the people were all panicked. Before, they had only heard rumors. Now the clear sound of cannons made them urgently feel that the war was approaching step by step. They could not imagine what kind of disaster such a fierce and dense sound of cannons would bring. The large-scale invasion of foreign enemies made them who had never experienced wars full of fear. They were like headless flies, not knowing where to go.

Rich merchants began to flee to the Edo, but most small vendors and ordinary people had never seen the cruelty of war and were unwilling to give up their families and flee. They rushed to various temples to pray, praying that the "Kamikaze" that had saved Japan's fate twice came again and sent all the hateful invaders to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

Those who went to the temple to pray were not only ordinary people, but also in Edo Castle, Oo (the harem of the shogunate), the biological mother of the seventh generation general of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and Yu Hi-sei, who was called "Moonlight House" after becoming a monk, also led a group of female relatives to pray devoutly, to eliminate the "Kamikaze Wind" to protect Edo and escape this disaster.

Shitani Saka-cho - the garrison of the Tokugawa Shogunate directly under the jurisdiction of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The Tokugawa Shogunate directly under the jurisdiction of the Tokugawa Shogunate is called the "residents" and the "samurai advance team". They focus on the qimoto and the Imperial family whose salary is less than 10,000 stones (stones are units that calculate salary in the Edo period, and also show the status of the recipient).

The Tokugawa Shogunate's personal army was known as 80,000 cavalry, but in fact there were only more than 20,000 people, and they were organized into groups. The main ones were the Dafan, the Academian, the Xiaoxian Group and the New Ones, among which the Dafan was responsible for the guards Edo Castle, the Academian was responsible for the doorman, and the Xiaoxian Group was responsible for the various meetings, ceremonies and the generals patrols.

Each series is called the "Stoppers Group". As the retainer groups, they are actually responsible for the guardian guards of the shogunate and Edo Castle. When they are truly capable of combat and perform mobile combat missions, they charge into battle. The "Samurai Advance Team" composed of bow and arrow groups and iron cannons.

The actual ruler of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Mabe Junfang hurried to Shitani Sakamachi and ordered the retainers to keep the Dafan. After the Academy guarded Edo Castle Motomaru, he took the "Samurai Advance Team" composed of 20,000 cavalry and infantry and the remaining members of the sects directly to Edo Port.

The vassal lords living in Edo faced this sudden foreign invasion. Facing the chaotic Edo and the empty defense of Edo Castle, no one dared to take the opportunity to attack, because they knew very well that if anyone dared to advocate chaos at this time, their fate would definitely die ugly. On the contrary, all the vassal lords united unprecedentedly at this time, and they followed the samurai advance team in the general's mansion to Edo Port.

After leaving Edo, the sound of cannons became particularly clear. Now, the dense sound of cannons has gradually become sparse. Mabu Quanfang had a gloomy face and began to feel a little uneasy in his heart. He knew very well what the sparse sound meant. He really could not have imagined that only one cup of tea was less than a cup of tea. The 4,000 navy, and more than one hundred warships were all finished?

How powerful was the Qing people's fleet? Why did it have such a fierce sound of cannons? Mabu Quanfang was on the horse while rushing on his way, thinking that the navy was completely destroyed and there was not much time left for him to set up defense. He ordered in a deep voice: "Order the troops to speed up."

After Yoshio Otani issued an order to evacuate the battlefield in the Edo Bay sea, the remaining Japanese naval warships began to turn one after another, but the turning under the muzzle of the Nanyang Fleet made them pay a heavy price. After several rounds of rapid artillery attacks, there were only fifteen warships that were able to evacuate the battlefield smoothly.

After the third-level battleship number Jiang 015 turned into a full sail, it immediately became a good-wind state, and the huge soft sails on three sides immediately bulged up. The ship speed also instantly increased.

Captain Zhang Changan stood up with a telescope on his bow and locked a slightly unique warship. Although he was not sure that it was the enemy's flagship, he had no extra choice at this time. Therefore, he immediately ordered to bite the ship tightly.

Escape from death, more than ten Japanese warships with the artillery range of the Nanyang Fleet were sailing all the way, fleeing in a hurry to the southwest. More than ten fast armed sail warships acting as auxiliary ships also followed closely, frequently shooting at a distance of 800 to 1,000 yards. Although the accuracy was poor, the shells that kept landing near the warships still forced them to change directions to avoid being locked by the artillery. In this way, the speed naturally slowed down.

With the wind, the five battleships quickly chased after them from behind and fought each other. One by one, one by one, and were constantly hit by Japanese warships attacked on both sides.

However, Zhang Changan tightly bit the special warship and rushed forward, ignoring the Japanese warships hit by them. Only when he approached, he ordered nine-pound and twelve-pound guns to shoot. The gunners of the nine-pound and twelve-pound guns on the ship were already very depressed. They naturally had a good time to catch such an opportunity.

Only after approaching the somewhat special ship, Zhang Changan ordered in a deep voice, "The left rudder is full, and the starboard gunner is more than 18 pounds ready."

Yoonao Otani was always staring at the battleship behind nervously. Seeing that the battleships were much faster than they were in the wind, he knew that they could no longer delay the time. When he saw a huge warship crossing his warship, he knew that everything was over.

Seeing that the black muzzle on the enemy's warship had already pointed at his warship, Yoonao Otani suddenly pulled open his clothes, pulled out the exquisite waist knife inserted between his waist quickly, inserted it into his abdomen with force, and then pushed it forward. Even if he died, he would take the most glorious way of death.

The deafening sound of the cannon sounded at this time. Under the precise strike of dozens of artillery, the warship where Yoshiba Otani was located was instantly beaten to pieces. Yoshiba Otani himself was also taken special care and was directly hit by a twenty-four-pound shell, and it was instantly broken. It was a pity that good waist knife.

The main force of the Nanyang Fleet did not participate in the pursuit, nor did they pay attention to the many unsinkable Japanese warships on the battlefield. Under Shi Shipiao's command, the fleet quickly sailed to the entrance of the Edo Port.

The warships slowly passed by the battlefield, and many warships were slowly sinking. Some warships were rushing into the sky, and ammunition was detonated from time to time, making violent explosions, and countless naval officers and soldiers on the sea were struggling in the water.

Cheng Kezheng and Cai Wen from Ryukyu County witnessed this slaughter on their flagship, which could only be called a massacre, and the three thousand soldiers of Ryukyu County who went on the battle with him were also the first time they saw the power of the Qing navy. They were both frightened and happy, mixed with inexplicable excitement. This was the navy of their sect leader country, and they would no longer have to be bullied by the Japanese again.

The Nanyang Fleet arrived at the entrance of the Edo Port, and the entire Edo Bay had quieted down. The warships attacked began to return.

The ships heading to Edo Port for observation and investigation have returned. Captain Wu Zhang quickly climbed up the flagship and trotted to Shi Shipiao. After standing attentively saluted, he reported loudly: "Report to the General, the waterway in Edo Port is deep and wide, and the Neri Port is open, and the entire fleet is enough to spread inside. The port terminal should have good facilities and can be parked in the second-class battleships. At present, no enemy warships have been found in the harbor. There are only countless fishing boats and merchant ships."

Hearing that Edo Port was exactly the same as Cheng Kezheng said, Shi Shipiao was overjoyed and immediately ordered: "Order the fleet to enter the port immediately, and all fishing boats and merchant ships in the port will be cleared out."

Fu Anding said at this time: "General, after the Marines landed, they should light bonfires at night to prevent sneak attacks. They did not ask the general to order all fishing boats and merchant ships to fish ashore and chop them up to make bonfire wood."

"Good proposal." Shi Shi said first: "Add."

Yinxiang glanced at Fu Anding with great appreciation, but he couldn't tell that the boy was not only brave, but also very clever. The Fourteenth Old Promotion was not a mistake.

Edo Port is less than six miles away from Edo, so it is naturally the primary part of the defense of the Mabu Quanfang. When he led a 20,000 samurai team to Edo Port first, Wu Zhangshun led the reconnaissance fleet and left shortly after he learned the news, he immediately concluded that the Qing Navy wanted to land in Edo Port. After a brief discussion with the old middle school (equivalent to the Minister of the Upper Study) Kyusai Shigezhi, he immediately began to deploy defensive positions at Edo Port.

After issuing a series of instructions, Mabu Quanfang relaxed a little. No matter how powerful the Qing naval warships were, they could only show their might and could not drive on land. How many people could there be only sixty warships? Two or three thousand people wanted to attack Edo, but they really didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was strong. More than half of the residents of Edo were from samurai. With a command, they could recruit hundreds of thousands of samurai at any time. Even if they were tofu, they could survive the 20,000 Qing navy.

Just as he was thinking, the new actor of the new anime outside, Inoue Hachiro came in to report: "Master, the Edo Bay battle report I just sent." He said that, bowed his hands to present the battle report.

Mabu Quanfang took it and glanced at it, then cursed angrily: "Baga." Then he angrily slapped the battle report on the table, "What cannons can accurately hit the target outside twenty minutes? A group of rice buckets!"

"Hi." Inoue Hachiro bowed and said, "Master, not a few people who observed Hang. Their battle reports were similar. Yoshisaki Otani and the entire navy were all broken. Although Yoshisaki Otani led his team to escape in the end, I think he should have wanted to delay time for the Masteri."

Hearing this, Mabe Quanfang scooped up the battle report again and took a closer look. After reading it, he handed the battle report to Jushi Chongzhi. After pondering for a while, he looked at Inoue Hachiro and said, "What do you think?"

Inoue Hachiro bowed and said, "Master, the artillery of the Qing Navy is indeed beyond our imagination. The reason why they were able to defeat the Spanish fleet should be because of the advantages of artillery. The defense of the Edo Port on the main should be guarding against their artillery. The subordinates think that thirty minutes away is the safe distance."

The old and middle-aged man, Jiu Shizhong, was the most superstitious about the iron cannon blocking. After reading the battle report, he said: "The war report mentioned that there were only 32 large and small warships participating in the battle in the Qing Navy, all of which were Western sail warships, while the remaining 30 ships were all Tang ships. I think they should be supply ships. In this way, the number of Qing Navy personnel was less than 20,000, and the number of people they could land and fight was not more than 10,000."
