Chapter Forty-Eight: Oda City Rocket

Usukiyama Castle, on the castle tower.

Master Zonglin who saw the fireworks in the day was stupid, why did the Ming Dynasty people still have such a terrifying secret weapon?

That's too bullying, isn't it? How can this battle be fought?

"Lord, forget it, the gap is too big." Zong Huan was frightened and persuaded bitterly: "The Fenghou Water Army that you have worked so hard to cultivate can't be destroyed like this!" ”

"Hit it, hit it and you'll be golden." Zong Lin's fingers slid the rosary quickly, and he said with sweat on his forehead: "My navy poured out, and even an enemy ship could not be captured, so it was defeated, how can I negotiate with the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Alas......" The ominous feeling in Zong Huan's heart became heavier and heavier. The Bungo Navy is afraid that it will be harmed by the Lord......

~~

On the 101 ship, in view of the tragedy of turning back and injuring his own people with an arrow before, as soon as the swishing sound sounded, the guards hurriedly put Zhao Gongzi into the cabin.

"You let go of me, this time the rocket won't fly upside down again." Zhao Hao struggled unhappily: "The eldest nephew has already improved!" ”

In fact, today's northwest wind is a bit strong, and according to the regulations, you can't release rockets when fighting against the wind. However, Zhao Shizhen used wood chips to install a simple three-tail wing for the Lei Gong rocket, and finally solved the problem that the rocket would flee back when the wind was headwind.

Don't look at this small tail, but it contains a lot of knowledge. If the rocket is not corrected in time, under the combined action of inertia and resistance, the small disturbance will be rapidly amplified, so that it will fly randomly or even fly upside down.

When the rocket deviates slightly from its path, the tail will use the air resistance generated by the reverse to return it to its original orbit, which can greatly improve the stability of the rocket.

Even the number of rear wings is particular. If there are only two, then the disturbance of the plane parallel to the tail will not be corrected, and the rocket will deviate from the course. Four will create more air resistance, which will slow down the flight. Therefore, for this rocket, the triple tail is the best choice.

That's science, the result of countless experiments. If Zhao Gongzi didn't mention it, Zhao Shizhen really couldn't do it in a short time.

Watching the rockets whizz away from the porthole, it was a different matter, but it really didn't happen anymore. Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but happily slapped Zhao Shizhen's thigh.

"Wait until you make that 'rocket slip', this Oda City rocket will be completely formed!"

"Oda City rocket, good name......" Zhao Shizhen grinned, and he didn't know if it was painful or beautiful.

Rockets fall on the Ataka ship, powerful enough to pierce an armored samurai, but the most terrifying thing about it is that even if it loses power and falls to the ground, it can still continue to burn for more than five minutes - first the long tail flame continues to breathe fire, and then ignites the grease-coated shell, and the rocket becomes a flare.

In addition, the Ataka ship is made of wood such as pine and cedar, which is low in density and oily, and is quite easy to ignite. That's why Western galleons must use century-old oak - oak is not flammable. Hundred-year-old oak is extremely dense, but it is not oily, and it is extremely non-flammable! Without enough accelerant and high-temperature heat source, it simply can't be lit.

Otherwise, in the First Battle of Futianura, thousands of rockets occurred in the punishment fleet, and the Karak galleon would have been set on fire a long time ago. However, through the effective damage management and the flame resistance of the century-old oak itself, the Duke of Goa, which had been hit by nearly 100 arrows, was all intact - so the saying that you get what you pay for, is not wrong at any time!

On the Ataka ship, despite the desperate efforts of the sailors, they threw the incoming rockets into the sea. But the sails and hull of the ship soon caught fire one after another, and under the action of the northwest wind, the fire raged, and after a while it was uncontrollable.

Seeing that the two Ataka ships were on fire, Ruolin Zhenxing's heart was like a knife, he held the knife in both hands, gritted his teeth and shouted:

"There is still less than the distance of three towns, the naval army, hold on!"

Who knew that the next moment, he couldn't help but be stunned, and found that something was wrong - he saw the Ming Dynasty sailing ships lined up in a line, firing guns while heading south.

The first few battleships had already left the battlefield and stopped firing.

If you force them back, you can also give an explanation to the lord.

He was secretly lucky, and suddenly his eyes froze, only to see that behind the row of Ming Dynasty warships, there was actually a row of warships waiting for him. Two rows of warships were separated by two towns...... That's a distance of about 220 meters.

The battleships in the front row gave way to position, and the artillery fire of the battleships in the back row immediately shot up. The intensity of the artillery bombardment and rockets was maintained in this way, and as the ships in the first row withdrew from the battlefield one after another, the distance between the two sides widened again......

How else can we say that the army grows the fastest in actual combat? A month ago, most of the coast guard members would have played this kind of complicated tactic. But now a series of operations are basically qualified.

~~

The Bungo Navy was also dumbfounded, they paid great sacrifices and desperately tried to get close to the enemy. Unexpectedly, the other party actually used this double-line tactic to easily disintegrate their own attempts.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was widening again, the samurai commanding the ship, the sound of the trumpet of 'rabbit give', suddenly became sporadic and sporadic.

"This, how can it be like this......" Zong Lin on the mountain city in the distance couldn't understand the despair in Zhenxing's heart at this time.

Facing an enemy army with overwhelming superiority in equipment, overwhelming superiority in tactics, and even overwhelming superiority in training, Ruolin Zhenxing's eyes completely lost light, and he had no confidence at all, only endless despair.

This made him lose his cool in an instant, and he made another mistake that the Japanese ancestors were easy to get to.

Everyone saw Wakabayashi Zhenxing close his eyes in pain. Immediately, he stared at the red eyes, took out a long sword, pointed at the second row of enemy ships in front of him, and said hoarsely: "Give it to the rabbit!" ”

"Rabbit give!" Encouraged by the commander, the samurai became very energetic again, urging the oarsmen to continue rowing!

"Fuck, it's not a fucking iron, it's a death!" Ma Rulong was dumbfounded, and at the pre-war meeting, they agreed that as long as they used the kite flying style to make the other party's attempt to close the distance bankrupt, the Japanese would be desperate and defeated.

What's more, it made it clear that they were here to demonstrate this time, not to demolish the house.

I didn't expect the enemy to be so desperate that he was mad.

Ma Rulong couldn't eat it anymore, so he hurriedly ran into the cabin and asked Zhao Hao for instructions: "Son, are you still fighting?" ”

"Hit? Why don't you fight? Zhao Hao glanced at him strangely.

"If they continue to fight, they will be wiped out, will they have a mortal enmity with the Otomo family?" Ma Rulong worried: "It won't affect the son's plans?" ”

"Haha, don't worry, Brother Wang!" Zhao Gongzi laughed loudly and said: "The little devil is doing this, his neck is very hard, and he doesn't bow his head easily." ”

"yes." Ma Rulong nodded approvingly, looking at the enemy ships charging with shells and rockets on the opposite side, he felt the horror of this nation.

This Oita Bay is going to be dyed red, why don't they care?!

"So I have to work harder. When you completely crush it and carve fear into their bones, it's time for them to call you Daddy. Zhao Hao waved his hand indifferently and said, "What I'm more concerned about is how many times can you retreat without messing around?" ”

"Hey, hey." Seeing that Zhao Gongzi didn't care, Ma Rulong's heart was put back in his stomach, he wiped his red beard, and grinned: "Gongzi thinks too highly of them, and it will be messy if he retreats again." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded and smiled. "That's pretty much what I thought."

~~

Wang Rulong is really self-aware.

According to the tactics, when the second platoon retreats, it should face the first platoon, so as not to have the first platoon not finished withdrawing, in case of a collision with the ship.

But today's wind direction is northwesterly, so the speed of the second row to the north is obviously not as fast as the speed of the first row to the south.

As a result, the last few warships in the second row were finally bitten.

Half an hour after the start of the war, the barrels and bows and arrows of the Japanese ships finally came into use.

Seeing that the two sides had reached a distance of 100 paces, the Fenghou Navy screamed excitedly, and hurriedly lit the fire rope and prepared to aim and shoot!

Unexpectedly, for them, the real hell has come!

Whether it's the previous shelling or the rockets, it's not human......

The Hongxi cannon and the Franc cannon on the Daming ship are specially designed for close defense! Especially the Hongxi cannon that fires grapeshot, it is really a big troll of a boatload of people when it is sprayed!

And at such a close distance, it's almost like a face-to-face shot, how can there be a pinnacle?

More than a dozen Hongxi cannons with three rounds a minute, and dozens of big Buddha machines with seven rounds a minute, composed of crossfire and death barrage, made every enemy ship that was close to a distance of 100 paces stop abruptly.

Seeing a boatload of comrades jumping around, in the blink of an eye, all of them were made into a sieve, and not a single one was left alive! The impact on the hearts and minds of the sailors and the destruction of their will are completely incomparable before!

At this time, the row of warships that had retreated before was finally lined up again three hundred meters away, and the artillery fire of the Ming Dynasty fleet suddenly became fierce again.

The speed of the advance of the Bungo Navy finally slowed down.

On the Ataka ship, which was the flagship, a cannonball landed in front of Wakabayashi Jinxing, and the flying wood chips instantly shot him in the face, and he fell to the ground on his back screaming.

"Lord!"

"Lord Commander!" The subordinates hurriedly gathered up and helped Wakabayashi Zhenxing, whose face was covered with blood.

Although he was wearing a helmet, he was not of sufficient grade after all, and there was no face guard installed on the helmet, so he was stabbed in the right eye by a sharp piece of wood, and the appearance of blood gushing was shocking.

His subordinates hurriedly wanted to treat his wounds, but they heard him hiss: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly......

With that, he fainted.

"Quick, Mingjin!" The subordinates hurriedly gave the order.

The gong sounded, and the Fenghou sailors woke up like a dream, as if they had been amnesty, and hurriedly turned the bow of the ship and rowed towards the way they came.
