"Nobuhiro Takeda, tell me what we should do."
As one of Emperor Ōmononobu's advisors, Ōmononobu had great trust in Takeda Nobuhiro's abilities.
"Your Majesty, we need to know the exact extent of the losses suffered by the Great Xia Dynasty's army. We must inform Honda Suekatsu and Oda Nobunaga to lead their armies and be ready to march south at any time."
The big boss nodded: "Whether they need to go south to fight or not, they must be prepared."
After discussing for more than an hour, the group finally decided to send Oda Nobunaga with an army of 100,000 to support the south.
No one knew how effective this army of 100,000 could be.
...
Kyoto Bay waters.
The sea was calm and peaceful.
Blue sky, white clouds, and bright sunshine.
On the white sand beach, many fishermen are weaving fishing nets.
On the azure sea, only a few dozen small fishing boats shuttled back and forth on the surface.
Everything looked so peaceful and serene.
Soon, the tranquility of the surrounding area was shattered by the sound of a ship's horn.
Four or five hundred large ships rushed toward the shore at high speed.
Han Xin stood on the deck, holding his sword and looking at Kyoto Bay through binoculars.
"Our lord said that as long as we land in this area of the sea, we can capture their capital in less than two days."
"All soldiers, listen to my command! Line up all the gunboats and bombard all the nearby fortresses to the ground!"
"promise……"
At that very moment, Japanese samurai in more than a dozen fortresses near Kyoto also discovered the situation on the sea.
"What's going on with all that? Why are there so many big ships all of a sudden?"
"Whose ships are these?"
"Sound the horns immediately, everyone take up arms and prepare for battle!"
From the dozen or so fortresses near Kyoto Bay, horns blared, their sound shaking the heavens.
More than 20,000 Japanese samurai rushed out of the fortress, each armed with a weapon.
"Baka yarou, where did all these ships come from?"
"No matter where these ships come from, and all the people are getting ready to board, let's rob them."
"Their ships are so big, there must be hundreds of them, and they must be loaded with all sorts of good things."
“These ships should belong to the Great Xia Dynasty. How did they end up in our Kyoto Bay?”
"Never mind that, get ready to board."
To these Japanese samurai, the 500-plus ships led by Han Xin were easy prey.
What they never expected was that of Han Xin's more than 500 ships, more than 40 were warships.
These warships were loaded with all sorts of cannons.
Seeing these Japanese samurai rushing towards the sea.
Han Xin gave a cold smile.
"A bunch of ignorant bastards. Since you want to die, I'll send you to meet the King of Hell."
In Han Xin's view, these 20,000-plus Japanese warriors were not even enough to satisfy his hunger.
These people are just rushing in to their deaths.
More than 50 warships were lined up in a row.
The portholes on the sides of the warships opened one after another, and thousands of cannons were pushed out of the ships.
These Napoleonic cannons, François cannons... all had their muzzles aimed at the Japanese samurai on the shore.
All the Japanese samurai rushed toward the shore without regard for their own safety.
They shouted as they charged.
These guys only had one thing on their minds: rush onto these big ships and rob everything on them.
"All gunners, listen up!"
"Load the exploding shells."
"All the cannons were aimed at the Japanese samurai on the shore."
They watched as these barefoot Japanese samurai charged forward, brandishing their katana.
The centurions on each ship quickly gave orders.
With each command given...
All the artillery pieces that had been adjusted were loaded with exploding bombs.
"Fire..." The centurions on each ship swung their hands downwards, and the booming sound of cannons rang out continuously.
Puffs of blue smoke billowed from the muzzle of the cannon.
The cannon's enormous recoil pushed it back more than two feet.
The shell left the barrel and hurtled back towards the coast.
These Japanese samurai, who were desperately preparing to board the ship, only heard a series of deafening cannon shots.
These guys were all stunned; they had no idea what was going on.
The shells whistled as they came crashing down.
Many Japanese samurai were unable to dodge in time and were hit on the head by the cannonballs, bleeding profusely.
Some people were even smashed, with their limbs and fragments flying everywhere.
The scene on the coast was horrific.
Blood stained the beach.
These Japanese samurai screamed in agony.
The fuse was burning continuously inside these exploding shells.
However, the nightmare was yet to come.
The booming explosions rang out once again.
The exploding bombs that landed in the crowd exploded violently.
Each exploding bomb was filled with iron nails, sharp stones, and round iron beads.
Each exploding bomb contains hundreds of iron nails.
A series of loud explosions rang out.
Hot shrapnel, mixed with iron nails and iron beads, flew through the crowd like a shower of flowers.
These Japanese samurai, who weren't even wearing the most basic armor, had no way to dodge.
With a series of explosions, flying nails and iron beads easily pierced through their bodies.
Many people were blown to bits.
The shockwave from the explosion blew them into the air, and before they could land, another explosion rang out.
