Four cannonballs whizzed past the ship's building and landed on the sea behind it, causing four high splashes.

This first shot was missed.

But it doesn't matter, this is meant to be used for calibration.

The gunners pulled the ropes, and after the four gun carriages were reset, Chu Liuxiang ordered to put 1 cm sleepers on the tails of the two Dafa tribute guns and 1.5 cm on the two snake guns, and then brush the barrels, cool down, and reload the fuses of gunpowder shells.

Three minutes later, the four bow guns roared and fired again!

By this time, the two sides were already less than a kilometer apart.

Of the four shells of the second round, three hits. One of them tore a wide hole in the sails, and the other two blasted two large holes in the front of the ship.

The southeast wind sent the screams of surprise from the boat, and it was clear that the shells had also caused casualties after they had been fired into it.

"Yes, very energetic!" Wang Rulong nodded approvingly, this is not a fixed target, a target that can hit a fast driving target at this distance is worthy of being the artillery king of the Coast Guard!

At this time, the rest of the warships were not far behind and began to shoot one after another!

Not only the ten blacktail ships in the first row, but also the modified warships in the second row also opened fire, although their ships were a little worse, but the firepower was not bad, and the artillery configuration was exactly the same as that of the blacktail ships.

No way, who made Zhao Gongzi not bad money? The size of the ship is the biggest obstacle to limiting the firepower of the Coast Guard!

Eighty guns roared at the same time, and the sound of cannons was earth-shattering, and the rising white smoke enveloped the entire fleet.

Eighty shells roared and smashed into the fleet of the pirates, most of which fell on the surface of the sea, stirring up countless columns of water!

But there are also about 20 of them that hit the target, but if they hit, they will definitely cause tragic losses to the Japanese invaders!

Because the deck of each ship is densely packed with short stature and hairy widows.

There were almost no artillery on their ships, so they had only one method of warfare, which was broadside combat. And they didn't even have sails, they sailed by oars. So even the smallest 'Xiaozao' boat has between fourteen and thirty oarsmen. As for the largest number of ships, there are forty or fifty oarsmen. There are even nearly 100 oarsmen on the Ataka boat.

This leaves them to fight in the near seas, not to sail far. But in a short period of time, the oarsmen rowed together, and the speed of the explosion was amazing. In this way, we can catch up with the enemy ship as soon as possible, so that we can take the ship!

In order to reduce weight and make the side faster, the guards of the ship are made of very light wood, and even bamboo will be used instead. Not to mention the lightweight Xiaozao, the cannonball hit the soul and directly shattered the guard.

The splashing wood chips brought a lot of damage to the almost ** Japanese cowards. Those who are injured to the point of vital points directly lose their combat effectiveness.

A few shells pierced through the guard and landed directly on the deck, smashing several of the pirates to pieces on the spot, but they still had no strength left, and they jumped on the deck again. The Japanese who were densely packed together could not dodge, but anyone who hit the big iron ball would break his hands and feet, and his head would bloom at worst......

Almost a single cannonball can kill the rhythm of a dozen pirates......

There was also a shell that hit the waterline of a closed ship directly, tearing a large hole in it, and seawater poured into the hull without watertight compartments. The pirates tried desperately to scoop up the water to no avail, so they had to jump ship and flee for their lives.

The most eye-catching house ship was naturally taken care of by the artillery fire. However, the Ataka ship is a Japanese daimyo class ship, and the board is relatively thick, although it has been smashed into holes everywhere, but it has not lost its protection.

~~

Three minutes later, the second volley began.

The distance between the two sides was already within three hundred meters by this time, and this time the gunners did not use solid iron shells, but replaced them with another kind of grape shells.

The so-called grape bullet is an iron bullet the size of dozens of pigeon eggs, bundled into a bunch with a net, which looks like a bunch of grapes, hence the name.

As soon as the cannon was fired, dozens of iron bullets suddenly erupted!

Although the range of grape shells is not as good as that of solid bullets, at a distance of two or three hundred meters, a single shot can instantly knock down dozens of enemy soldiers. In naval battles, it can knock down large swaths of enemy officers and sailors, and achieve the purpose of paralyzing enemy ships. Therefore, at this time, the mainstream tactics of the European navy were to use solid bullets to destroy the hull at a distance, and to use grapeshot shells to cause damage at close range.

More than 2,000 iron bullets the size of pigeon's eggs rained down on the warships of the Japanese invaders. Whenever the ship was hit, the would-be robbers on deck fell to the water screaming as if wheat had been cut.

But even more terrifying firepower is yet to come!

At this time, the large Franc machine finally came into range, and the gunners also used a sweep of shotguns!

And the distance between the two sides is less than 200 meters, which basically means that there is no false shot!

In addition to the fact that the Franc machine can be steered, it also has the biggest advantage that it can replace the child and mother of the child!

The gunners had been waiting for the time to get into range and had reloaded all the guns. After a shot, I directly changed the gun and fought again, which was simply a continuous fire!

How can this be endured? Dense shotguns sprayed non-stop on the Japanese ship, and the deck, which was still full of people, was beaten into a sieve in the blink of an eye. Not only were the people on deck not spared, but even the oarsmen who rowed below deck died!

The screams shook the sky, and the severed limbs of countless widows fell into the water, and the blood stained the sea red in a blink of an eye.

The closer they got to the Ming ships, the more tragic the casualties became, but the pirates had no way to fight back except for rowing desperately.

Because all the ships and Kozao are not equipped with artillery, only a few things called 'big tubes' are installed on the Ataka ship. It was not so much a cannon as an oversized arquebus, and although it was bluffing, it was too small to fit a grapeshot, the size of a pigeon's egg.

It's amazing how many of them are there.

You know, just five years ago, it was the Hirado Domain, to which the Mishima Waiko belonged, who had just been taught to be human by the crossfire of two Portuguese warships. However, the Japanese really had no choice, probably thinking that installing bulky guns on the ship would affect their speed, and they would not be able to start the proud broadside battle as soon as possible, so they never made changes.

In addition, they only learned the forging method from Datang, and they didn't learn the casting method at all, so they even had to use Yongle Tongbao for copper coins, how could they master such a profound technology as casting cannons?

Therefore, in the face of the terrifying firepower of the Coast Guard, they could only grit their teeth and bear the huge casualties, desperately rowing closer, saying that they could kill all sides if they were connected to the side, and even the profits were recovered......

~~

More than ten miles away, on the surface of Gabo Island.

Park Sung-in took off the flag of 10 North Korean naval warships and lined up with their backs to Jeju Island to prevent the ships of both sides from escaping and harassing Jeju Island.

Xiao Pu was wearing a military general's robe similar to Da Ming, pacing back and forth on the deck. He was very worried in his heart, feeling that his eldest brother was playing with fire, and if he didn't get it, he would lose the Park family.

He was circling there when he heard a rumbling sound in the distance.

Standing behind him, he always heard the prestige of the sky and said: "Hey, why is it thundering on a sunny day?" ”

"What thunder? It's a cannon! Park Sung-in glanced at him, pointed to the south and said, "That's the Japanese that we have to guard against." ”

"How can a Japanese cannon?" The general manager was surprised: "Aren't they all rushing?" ”

"Xu is the one who was attacked by them, and is defending himself, right?" Park Sung-in said a little uneasy.

"What could it be?" The North Korean soldiers on the ship suddenly became nervous.

"Who knows, it's not the right way to come anyway, we just need to stay vigilant." Park Sung-in asked his subordinates to also prepare the artillery. The artillery of the Li Dynasty was imitated from the general cannon of the Yongle period, known as the 'Tianzi Gun', and the effective firing range could reach 50 meters!

Seeing that the gate 'Tianzi Gong' was ready for launch, Park Sung-in and his subordinates felt a lot more relieved.

At this time, there were bursts of dense artillery from the south, and the sound of artillery was endless. This distance sounds like firecrackers.

After listening to this, the general changed his face and said, "There are hundreds of cannons here, right?" It can't be a sailor of the Celestial Empire, right? ”

Park Sung-in was also frightened, and stammered: "How can the sailors of the Celestial Empire have so many cannons?" ”

The Celestial Empire sailors only have one large tribute, six big Buddha machines, and three bowls on one ship. The entire battleships of the Denglai Liaodong Guard Station did not add up to such fierce firepower.

What's more, they are all nested in the bay, and they can't come this far.

"It can't be the sea lords of the south, right?" I always thought of a possibility.

"What are they doing three thousand miles away?" Park Sung-in shook his head categorically.

"So where did it come from?" I completely lost my mind.

Park Sung-in had already thought that eighty percent of it was the fleet of the Naraushzi Gangnam Company.

In the information provided to Park Chengxing by the treasurer of Song, the fleet of Jiangnan Shipping is still equated with the fleet of the Sand Boat Gang. Tell them that although there are many ships in the Sand Boat Gang, there are no lucky boats, let alone blacktail boats. They are all sand boats that are not very suitable for going to sea.

In terms of armament, the Sand Boat Gang was even more restricted by the imperial court, and only had a few powerful earthen guns and artillery, mainly relying on bows and arrows and swords and guns for self-defense...... It's not that the shopkeeper of Song Da deliberately tricked them, it can only be said that the intelligence lag killed people.

Park Sung-in knew just by listening to the sound of the cannon that he had stabbed the hornet's nest, and he subconsciously wanted to escape with his subordinates. But when you think about it, what are you doing here? If he can't stand it anymore and flees to the island, his eldest brother will be as inarticulate as he is.

After thinking about it, he ordered the commander: "Hurry up to the island and light the beacon fire!" ”

The general immediately asked people to raise a red flag and fire a warning gun. After a while, the beacon on Gabo Island lit up wolf smoke.

Plumes of smoke rose into the air. Soon, the beacon fire of Mt. Songak, the southernmost point of Tamna Island, was also lit.

"Marquis Yu, can we go?" The general asked.

"Big brother let us nail here, how dare we disobey military orders?" Park Sung-in sighed, looking dutiful.

I can't help but secretly admire that although Xiao Pu is younger than Da Pu, he is more like a competent officer.

He thought that Park Sung-in let him light the beacon fire in order to inform the army, civilians and the main force of the fleet in Jeju City to take precautions as soon as possible.

As everyone knows, Park Sung-in is actually acting for the Celestial Empire fleet. The artillery not far away has been fired like this, and if the outpost of the North Korean naval army has not reacted, it will be too fake.

Doesn't that make it clear to tell people that they are in the same league as the Japanese Bandits?

ps. or two more. Almost every detail of this kind of naval battle has to be verified, and it is too laborious and difficult to write. Tomorrow it's over!
