Chapter 390: The Battle of Gwangyang Bay (6)
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
In front of the stagnant fleet, three small morning boats were lined up in a sagittal formation, with only the minimum crew remaining. Led by a few short Japanese pirates who were chirping at the empty sea, they
It uses the force of the wind to charge forward quickly.
"Boom!"
However, just after rushing out less than ten feet away, with a loud bang, the small morning boat traveling on the left side of the front arrow formation was thrown nearly ten feet away from the water by a huge explosion, and then turned into a pile of debris.
Planks crashed into the sea.
As for the chirping Japanese pirates on the boat, they had naturally turned into pieces of meat and scattered everywhere along with the little morning boat.
And that's not all. As this small morning boat triggered a mine and was blown up, the other two small morning boats were also affected. Not only were the exploded planks damaging the ship, but they were also driven away by the explosion air waves.
After returning to the original route, it hit the mine again, causing a second wave of explosions.
But this time, another small morning boat was directly hit by the exploding planks in the bilge, began to take in water, and sank.
"hiss!"
Within a moment of seeing them, the three small morning boats were within striking distance of each other and were destroyed by mines. Many of the Japanese on the warships in the rear suddenly couldn't help but gasp in cold air.
"continue!"
Ignoring the small morning boat that had turned into broken boards, Kato Yoshiaki just said the word "continue" coldly.
"Boom boom boom!"
This time, the distance explored was a little longer than before, but the total distance was only about ten feet. A safe waterway of five or six feet wide was enough for three small morning boats.
"Explore again!"
Kato Yoshiaki, who was sure of this method, remained unmoved, and gave the order with a calm expression to continue exploring the route with a small morning boat.
…
"Kill the chicken and give it to me, kill the chicken and give it to me!"
Just as Kato Yoshiaki launched a 'suicide' charge in a small morning boat and was struggling to move forward, on the other side, in the northern part of Guangyang Bay, watching his own warships being disintegrated and sunk by the Ming army's continuous artillery fire, Kugui
At this moment, Jialong could only uselessly wave the Japanese sword in his hand and keep making false strikes forward.
There was no way, in the face of the Ming army's new tactics and powerful artillery fire, Jiugui Garen, who originally relied on numbers and gang-hopping tactics to win, now sadly discovered that as time went by, the number of warships on both sides increased.
At this moment, everything has been adjusted.
In just over an hour, less than half of the more than 500 warships on our side were left at this moment. However, the number of warships of the Ming army on the opposite side did not seem to have any obvious changes.
"Lord, be careful!"
Just when Kuki Kanon was waving his sword high and howling in the air, the handsome young man Takesumaru next to him suddenly screamed, and then rushed towards him, knocking him
He threw himself on the deck.
"Boom!"
Just when Kuki Yoshitaka was knocked down by the young man named Takesumaru, there was a muffled sound, and a huge arrow about the thickness of an arm was nailed to the deck where he was standing.
Direct sound.
"Baga! Yi Sun-shin!"
With just one glance, Kuuki Yoshiro recognized that this was the giant arrow shot by the archery cannon of the turtle ship led by Yi Sun-shin. If Zhu Shengmaru hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, he would have been nailed here right now.
"Come here, use cannon to blast away those turtle ships!"
After turning over and getting up, the angry Jiuki Jialong immediately pointed at the group of turtle ships not far from his flagship and shouted sharply.
Although Japan's land forces and naval forces were short of artillery, as the commander-in-chief of the army, Kuuki Yoshiro's flagship was still equipped with several artillery pieces.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
After receiving the order from Jiuki Jialong, the Japanese did not dare to neglect, and immediately controlled the warship, waiting for the opportunity to bombard the nearest Korean turtle ship.
"Crack!"
Soon, amidst the roar of Japanese artillery, several huge holes were punched out in the side and roof of the turtle ship closest to Jiuki Jialong.
There is no way, although the turtle ship can resist the Japanese cannons, it cannot defend against the artillery. Even if the Japanese cannons are much less powerful than the Ming army's artillery, they are still cannons!
"Kill the chicken and give it to me!"
There was no need for anyone to direct the turtle ship. Seeing that the shell of the turtle ship was actually broken open, the nearby Japanese pirates immediately swarmed over in small morning boats and began their best battle of joining forces.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
As usual, before joining the gang, the Japanese fired a volley of fire cannons at several holes in the turtle ship to suppress the Korean army.
However, this time, what the Japanese did not expect was that their routine fire suppression would accidentally hit Yi Sun-shin, who had not even been hurt by the artillery before.
"General!"
Seeing that Li Shun was shot, the Korean troops on the ship panicked and hurriedly drove the scarred turtle boat to break out of the encirclement.
However, without the defense of the turtle shell, it is not easy to escape from these fierce Japanese pirates.
In addition, other turtle ships did not realize that their commander's warship was trapped at this time. Therefore, within a short time, the turtle ship where Yi Sun-shin was located was almost unable to support itself.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Just when the Korean troops on the turtle ship were about to give up their escape and prepare to fight to the death with these Japanese pirates, at some point, several Ming army Haicang ships broke in under the leadership of veteran Deng Zilong. Then Hu Hu
After a burst of crouching cannon fire, he was quickly relieved.
Then the three Haicang ships did not stop, but continued to move forward, aiming directly at the Anzhai ship where the Japanese flagship was, with the momentum of killing an enemy and seizing the flag among thousands of troops!
"Let everyone follow General Deng and capture the Nine Ghosts alive... Jia... Long!"
When the Ming warship passed the turtle ship where he was, Yi Sunchen, who was shot in the chest, did not order a retreat. Instead, he used his last strength to let his son Li Hui and nephew Li Wan follow the Ming warship.
…
"Boom boom boom boom..."
In naval battles, artillery comes first!
Just when Li Hui and Li Wan had placed Yi Sun-shin's body and led the turtle fleet to follow Deng Zilong and kill Jiugui Yilong's flagship, three Haicang ships with a total of fifteen thousand-pound Buddha aircraft had already begun to move towards the Japanese.
The flagships took turns firing.
Seeing that the Ming army actually wanted to carry out a 'decapitation' battle, the surrounding Japanese warships naturally refused to watch and came to kill them one after another.
"Tiger Crouching Cannon!"
Facing these Japanese warships that were outflanking them, following the orders given by the generals of each ship, in an instant, amidst a roar, a cloud of lead pellets and stones was heard roaring towards the Japanese warships with their teeth and claws open, and then
Turning them into wailing blood gourds.
Then, without any deliberate command at all, according to the distance, various types of fire guns, spray cannons, grenades, and fire bricks were used to greet the surrounding Japanese warships from the three Haicang ships, which were not much smaller than the Anzha ships.
"Kato Yoshiaki, you have harmed the army and the country, and I will kill you!"
