"Boom, boom, boom!"

As a dull crashing sound came, Todo Takatora and Wakisaka Anji, who had always wanted to engage in close combat with Ji Jinwan, led more than two hundred warships to rush out of the Luliang Strait. This wish finally came true.

.

But the opponent he wanted was changed from the Ming army's warships to Yi Sun-shin's turtle fleet.

It has to be said that although the Ming army looked down upon this turtle ship, as a warship specially designed by Yi Sun-sin in view of the fact that the Japanese warships had almost no artillery, it was very suitable for use in close combat with the Japanese.

No, when faced with this turtle ship covered with iron spines, the side-to-side close combat that the Japanese were so proud of could not be used at all. It really fulfilled the old saying, "A dog cannot bite a hedgehog"!

Not only that, as soon as the leading Japanese fleet broke out of the Noryang Strait, Yi Sun-shin, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed out with a dozen turtle ships and instantly knocked over a dozen small morning boats and several customs ships.

And after overturning these small boats, Yi Sun-shin even commanded the turtle ship to take the initiative to attack the Japanese Anzhai ship.

It's just that although the Japanese Anzhai ship has no cannon, the size is there after all. So even if the Japanese cannon can't do anything to the turtle ship, the turtle ship, which also only has small cannons, still can't do anything to the Anzhai ship in a short period of time.

.

Therefore, after just a few rounds of attacks, Yi Sun-shin saw that he could not take any big advantage for a while, so he led a dozen turtle ships to break out of the Japanese fleet and chased Ji Jin's fleet.

"Not to mention, although the speed and firepower of this turtle ship are not very good, it is still quite good for bullying warships without artillery like the Wozi and engaging them in board battles."

Seeing the turtle ship that "arrogantly" broke out from the Japanese fleet, some Ming Navy officers and soldiers couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Hey, why do we have to fight them when we can use artillery and firearms?"

Even though Bangzi's turtle ship seemed to be in a deserted place among the Japanese fleet, in the eyes of most Ming soldiers, it was just a toy that they didn't like at all.

In fact, in the eyes of the Ming army, which had a large number of artillery and firearms, this turtle ship was just a matter of two extra guns.

"Huh? What do these Japanese people want to do? Do they still want to stick to Jieshui Village here?"

Seeing that those Japanese warships stopped and stopped shortly after leaving the strait, Ji Jin couldn't help but become a little confused.

"General, wouldn't it be better if they really set up a water fortress here? Our artillery doesn't need to be aimed at, we can just shoot over there, hahahaha!"

Of course, it is impossible to defend Jieshuizhai. Knowing that the Ming army has a large number of artillery, how could the Japanese choose such a stupid method.

What's more, the Japanese were prepared to take advantage of the numerical advantage of the warships to destroy the Ming Navy in one fell swoop.

…

Wanli 20th year, November 11th

In the Gwangyang Bay in the southeast of Jeolla Province on the peninsula, on the undulating sea surface, it was like a land military formation dueling. They were separated by a distance of more than ten miles. The military formations composed of warships on the two sides also rose and fell with the waves.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

As the thundering war drums sounded, a seemingly "gentlemanly" naval battle officially kicked off at Gwangyang Bay in the southeastern waters of Jeolla Province.

Compared with the ambush battle in the original history, this time, the newly established Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty chose to use more than 400 large and small warships to "uprightly" attack the Japanese navy head-on.

Of course, the reason why he chose this strategy was not because Chen Lin was too conceited. It was because he wanted to use this battle to destroy all the confidence of the entire Japanese nation in the sea, thus completing the promise he made in front of Wang Bing to let the Japanese film.

A promise that the board dare not enter the water.

"kill!!!"

Amidst the thunderous sound of war drums, military orders were issued in the form of flags from Chen Lin's flagship. In just a moment, various warships of the Royal Navy used the wind and oars to attack the Japanese on the opposite side.

go.

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"

At the same time that the Royal Navy began to launch its attack, Kuki Yoshitaka also waved the gorgeous military fan in his hand on his Anzha ship flagship.

Then, also under the command of the flag language, almost the entire army of more than 500 Japanese warships was dispatched to attack the Ming army's warships.

However, unlike the large ships of the Ming Dynasty, which were at the forefront, the Japanese navy's fleet was led by the most flexible small morning ships, followed by medium and large warships such as the Kanfune and Anzha ships.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

Soon, as the ships from both sides gradually approached, the red cannon on the bow of the Ming army's Fu ship spoke first.

Not long after, the French cannons on the bows of each ship began to roar one after another.

In an instant, the originally loud sound of war drums was quickly drowned in the roar of artillery.

Along with the deafening roar of artillery, what followed was the continuous collapse and disintegration of Japanese warships.

As for the Ming army's warships, I'm sorry to say that they were unscathed for the time being. Because the warships of the Japanese navy were extremely short of artillery, the closest ones to the Ming army's warships were still one or two miles away at this time.

"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"

Seeing that our own warships were continuously hit and damaged by Ming army artillery, all Jiuki Jialong on the Chinese flagship could do at this time was to keep waving his military fan, urging the Japanese warships to speed up, speed up and speed up again!

"If we have so many artillery, not only the country of China, but also the whole world will tremble under the feet of our nation!"

Looking at the flames on the opposite side that were constantly spitting out flames and projectiles, Jiuki Jialong had a look of envy and jealousy.

Don't look at the Japanese who keep clamoring that approaching the side is the so-called "bushido" spirit, but in fact, it is just because the Japanese are short of iron, and they have no choice but to choose between firecrackers and artillery.

It's not that they don't know the benefits of artillery.

"My lord, after you defeat the Ming Dynasty's navy, these artillery pieces will be yours. You will become the most dazzling general of the Yamato nation!"

Just when Jiugui Jialong was envious of the number of artillery of the Ming army, the handsome young man named Xiao with a beautiful face and a gorgeous Japanese sword in his hand took his arm with a warm look on his face.

"According to Zhu Shengmaru's words, these Ming army artillery pieces will definitely become my trophies!"

He reached out and patted the fair and tender palm of the handsome young man. Jiuki Jialong seemed to be less aggressive.

"Eh? What is the Ming army doing? Are they trying to escape? They shouldn't!"

Just when Jiugui Jialong patted the young boy's white and tender palm, his eyes that were originally filled with a little warmth were suddenly filled with doubts.

It turned out that just a moment later, when the two armies were about to enter a hand-to-hand boarding battle, the Ming army, led by the charging ships, suddenly took a break, and then turned into two fleets and fought.

Zhu Heng made a U-turn from about a mile in front of the Japanese warship to the left, right and rear.

"What kind of strategy is this?"

Faced with this unusual behavior of the Ming navy, the suspicion in Jiugui Jialong's eyes became even more intense.

In his opinion, given the size of the Ming army's fuchuan, it was wise to directly collide and crush it. After all, one of the characteristics of naval battles is that big ships bully small ships!

But now, the Ming army's behavior clearly gave up the advantage of "bullying the small with the big", and instead started to "escape", which made Jiuki Jialong a little confused.
