"What? A large number of ships are coming towards us? Aren't they the food transport team? "
Hearing his subordinate's report, the officer in charge was very uneasy. He was already suspicious that the food transport team had not returned on time. Now, there was a large number of ships that did not seem to be the food transport team coming towards them. This made him feel very alarmed.
??
"It doesn't look like our ships. There are indeed a lot of them, a little more than the food transport team. However, we have never received any news that any fleet would attack us. It is probably not an enemy fleet. I don't know which fleet it is."
"Take me to see it immediately! No matter what fleet it is, be on your guard immediately. An unfamiliar fleet suddenly appeared without any notice. Are you all a bunch of stupid pigs?! Don't you know how to be on your guard?! "
The orderly quickly apologized, but the officer in charge had no interest in scolding him. He quickly rushed to the observation deck and looked at the sea. The officer was stunned.
"This is a little more than the food transport team?"
The orderly looked and was instantly petrified.
"This is definitely an enemy ship! This is definitely an enemy ship!! Can't you see that they are all scattered? This is an attack, you bunch of stupid pigs! Ring the bell immediately! Inform the city immediately! Tell Taige immediately! Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! Hurry up and go … Ah … "
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a loud explosion, Chen Lin's flagship was the first to open fire. No matter how loud the alarm bell was, it was not as loud as the sound of the cannonball. Therefore, it was meaningless to ring the alarm bell at this time. After that, all the main battleships of the Ming Army opened fire. The first round of firing was completed in an instant. Then, they uniformly turned around and bombarded the Ming Huya City in front of them.
The first target to be attacked was the conspicuous observation tower. It was covered with flags, which made anyone who looked at it unhappy. Chen Lin used the telescope to see that there were quite a few people on the observation tower. She thought that they must be the Wokou's lookout team, so she immediately ordered the cannons to fire at the observation tower. She wanted to destroy the lookout team first and blind the Japanese.
The arrival of the Great Ming Dynasty's fleet came without warning, leaving the Japanese unprepared. Under the guidance of Xuan Su, the Great Ming Dynasty's fleet successfully sank the remaining ships in Nagoya Harbor. Then, under the cover of the warships, the Southern Army's Generals Luo Shangzhi and Qian Shizhen led a group of Southern Army soldiers and a group of Wolf Soldiers to once again carry out the tactic of attacking the beach and boarding the ship.
Chen Lin knew that there were a large number of Japanese pirates guarding Nagoya City. There were no less than 100,000 soldiers. But even if there were 100,000 soldiers, so what? The Ming army had ships and cannons, which the Japanese did not have. Even if they could not fight on the ground, they could retreat to the ships and continue to fire around Nagoya Castle. In Chen Lin's eyes, the Japanese navy was like a paper tiger, easily broken with one poke, without any deterrence.
The naval cannons could also provide cover for the sixth army.
If they wanted to fight, they had to fight like a storm. They had to be merciless. They had to destroy all the defenses of the Japanese as quickly as possible. They had no preparation and the courage to resist. They would collapse directly. At that time, they might be able to create a miracle!
The movement of the Ming Army was a little too big. Even the central area of Nagoya City, which was not within the range of the Ming Army's cannons, was covered by the rumbling sound of cannons. What followed was a frenzy of fear.
People were always prone to fear the unknown. This was indisputable. For example, at this time, they heard the rumbling sound of cannons and a large amount of smoke rising. Although the Japanese in Nagoya City did not know what was going on, their instinctive fear of war still made them fall into chaos at the fastest speed.
They didn't know what was going on, and they didn't even know if it was the Ming army attacking or some bandits attacking, but this didn't stop them from being afraid. Some people shouted things like "the enemy is attacking", and this intensified the people's fear. The originally orderly living environment instantly collapsed, and everyone scrambled to escape to the place they thought was safe. People pushed and shoved, and it was as chaotic as if the end of the world had arrived.
The mainland of Japan had never been attacked by foreign enemies. In history, only Tsushima Island had been attacked. It was attacked twice by the Mongolians and once by the Koreans. However, no matter who it was, they had never attacked the mainland of Japan.
In the past, the two great expeditions of the Mongolians brought the fear of subjugation to the Japanese people. However, these two expeditions were destroyed by a sudden sea storm. The Japanese regarded it as a divine wind and further believed that there was a god protecting Japan. They thought that their mainland was absolutely safe.
Civil war was civil war. Except for civil war, no other enemy had ignited the flames of war in this land. But this time was different.
The chaotic crowd had not yet figured out the reason, but they still knew what kind of place Nagoya City was. What did it mean that Nagoya City was attacked?
Not only the ordinary people fell into panic, but the soldiers and officials in the city also fell into panic. Compared to the ignorant people, they obviously thought more. Who attacked Nagoya City? Where did the attack come from? Why did they attack Nagoya City? Why didn't the alarm sound? Why was there no warning in advance? What the hell was going on?
From top to bottom, from Toyotomi Hideyoshi to the ordinary soldiers, they were all shocked by the sudden artillery attack and could not speak.
"What the hell is going on?! Who dares to attack me?! Who dares to rebel?! Are they tired of living?! "
Toyotomi Hideyoshi quickly transitioned from the initial shock to extreme anger. He stood up shakily and waved the cane in his hand, desperately venting the anger and uneasiness in his heart. He kicked the guards around him one by one and asked them to go out and gather information. When his strength was exhausted, he collapsed to the ground and panted like an exhausted old dog.
Not only Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but Tokugawa Ieyasu also heard the sound of the artillery fire. Kuroda Rusui also heard the sound of the artillery fire. The daimyo of Dongguo and the 100,000 eastern troops also heard the sound of the artillery fire, which made them extremely surprised and puzzled.
The news that they were going to attack was only known to some of the insiders, but it was not the time to attack yet. They had not done it yet!
Who had the guts to attack Nagoya and Toyotomi Hideyoshi before they did? Wasn't it too bold? Other than the eastern coalition army, was there a second force in Japan that could resist Toyotomi Hideyoshi's hegemony?
Tokugawa Ieyasu and Kuroda Rusui, who were discussing the details of the mutiny, recovered from the initial shock. They looked at each other and saw the shock and puzzlement in each other's eyes. Who was attacking Nagoya?
"What the hell is going on? Why is there the sound of artillery?! What happened to Nagoya? "
Tokugawa Ieyasu stood up abruptly and roared.
He had never been good at adapting to situations. What he was best at was hiding in an absolutely safe place and planning carefully. Then, little by little, he would turn his plan into reality. This process could take years or even decades. However, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not seem to take his lifespan into account and was still planning carefully.
He was the worst at dealing with sudden changes. Things that were out of his control made him feel at a loss and extremely unhappy.
