Chapter 1158: Complete Victory
"Obedience." Gan Ziqi hurriedly received the order.
"My lord, Yasui Ichiro's boat has already boarded the big ship of the Wakoku, but their fleet has not stopped." Wei Chi Jingde has been looking at the Japanese fleet with a fierce look in his eyes, and said at this time.
"Since you're looking for death, you're welcome." The cold light flickered in Wang Junlin's eyes, looking at the fleet of the Japanese people, and sneered.
The fleet of the Japanese kingdom is getting closer and clearer............
"The fleet of the Japanese entered the giant crossbow. The range of guns and trebuchets! ”
Gan Ziqi's pupils suddenly shrank, staring fiercely at the fleet in front of him, gritting his teeth, pulling out his knife fiercely, and shouting: "Triangle Wing Formation, attack!" ”
"Knock knock!" The drums of the attack broke the silence of the sea, and dozens of stone throwers shot the gunpowder bags overwhelmingly at the fleet of the Japanese state, but the sea surface shook left and right, and the operation of the officers and men of Gan Ziqi's sailors could not be compared with the officers and men of the sailors under the command of Luo Chunlai and Liu Yidong, and the accuracy of operating the stone throwing machine on the ship was much worse, only about two-fifths of them fell on the ships of the Japanese state, and in the explosion, the flames soared into the sky, and seventeen or eighteen Japanese ships were blown up, and the ships gradually sank in the screams of the sailors above.
After the stone thrower, the giant crossbow. The guns immediately flew muskets into the sky and shot at the fleet of the Japanese people, and immediately a raging fire broke out on more than a dozen Japanese ships!
This is also the first time in their lives that they have encountered an enemy in a naval battle with a column lined up on the sea, and the Japanese general, who finally decided to attack because he secretly laughed at the stupidity of the opponent's formation, was dumbfounded by this firepower that he had never "enjoyed", and he did not remember how to command and deal with it.
Some of the warships of the Wa Kingdom rushed towards the sailors of Wang Junlin's side more bravely, some hurriedly retreated, and some stopped in place, not knowing what to do.
Such a result would have been expected, and the trebuchet and the giant gun . The accuracy of the crossbow made Wang Junlin's brows furrow slightly, but this was a calm face, silently observing the situation on the battlefield, but the sailor soldiers under Gan Ziqi's command who were transformed from pirates saw that the first wave of attacks worked, and their morale suddenly rose, and they shouted loudly, and the cry shook the sky.
"Stay in formation, don't leave the group to attack, use the side of the ship to aim at the protruding enemy ships and attack them!" Gan Ziqi's order was accurately conveyed to the ships by the flag, and the fifty battleships began to concentrate their fire on the fifteen walkers that rushed out, and the fifteen walkers were under the attack of such dense firepower, and a raging fire broke out in an instant. The soldiers screamed and jumped to escape, and any sailors who came close were mercilessly shot in the water by the crossbowmen.
The sacrifice of these fifteen ships was not meaningless, and the lord of the Wa Kingdom finally came to his senses, and in addition to striking at the seriously injured ships in the first wave, the rest of the ships regrouped and divided into two teams to attack the two flanks on Wang Junlin's side, and the other fifteen fighting ships bypassed the flanks from the flanks, as if trying to attack from the flanks.
It has to be said that the Japanese sailors have been fighting at sea for many years, although they were surprised by the long-range attack ability of Wang Junlin's side, especially the explosive gunpowder pack, but they were not deterred, they just wanted to avoid the sea area with the most dense firepower in the middle. The oarsmen rowed desperately with their wooden oars and rushed towards the king's side. Because they found that only fifty of them were warships, and the other ships were carrying goods and men.
"Do you think you still have a numerical advantage? My fleet is so much stronger than yours! Gan Ziqi sneered in his heart, and calmly issued an order: "One team becomes two teams, keep the column unchanged, and attack the enemy separately." Keep an eye out for enemy ships! ”
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to divide the troops!" Wang Junlin frowned slightly, secretly worried in his heart, but didn't say anything.
Moreover, the fifty warships under Gan Ziqi's command have serious problems in one team to two teams.
They were originally pirates, and they were all sailors who were proficient in water warfare, and Gan Ziqi's own talent, especially his ability to master water warfare, was undoubted, and he created the tactic of the triangular winged column to give full play to the long-range firepower advantage of his sailing ships, which was a remarkable achievement.
However, the time for them to operate these big ships was still a little too short, especially for the first time in a big battle with an enemy of the same size, and the soldiers were also a little nervous, so in the process of turning the fleet into two teams to seize the upper hand, four or five ships made the mistake of the lowest paper, and they turned in the wrong direction! There were also minor collisions between two ships.
Wang Junlin's first casualties occurred in his own accidental injury, and a soldier happened to be in the corner of the collision ship and was killed on the spot.
Taking advantage of the chaos of Gan Ziqi's sailors, the boats of the Wa Kingdom rushed up frantically, and the sharp horns of the ships slammed into the hulls of several sailors, and the ships immediately cracked, and the sea water poured in! If it weren't for the fact that all the warships produced by Wang Junlin at the Fanyang County Shipyard were designed with watertight compartments, I am afraid that they would have sunk long ago.
However, the attack of the Japanese navy did not stop there, they threw small wooden barrels filled with fire oil on the Song ships, fired rockets, and immediately two of them burst into flames.
But these ships were not spared, the captain under the command of Gan Ziqi who was hit by this pulled out his scimitar, and a few crow-beaked planks hooked the Japanese country's boats, and the sailors under Gan Ziqi swarmed up, fiercely slashing every enemy he could see.
The fate of the rest of the runners is even more bleak!
Several warships that had just approached Gan Ziqi's side were attacked by giant crossbows. The gun shot directly through the cabin, the sea water entered the hold, and the ship sank into the sea. Escape the crossbow. On the boat of the deadly attack of the gun, the Japanese soldiers gathered together, lined up and waited for the next hand-to-hand combat, but the first thing they were given was a continuous rain of arrows with a chain of crossbow arrows, how could the Japanese soldiers have ever seen such a dense number of arrows, the ghosts cried wolves, the casualties were heavy, and they had not come back to their senses, the soldiers of the sailors under Gan Ziqi had rushed to the boat, and all the Japanese soldiers with weapons could not help but become ghosts under the sword.
The general of the Wa Kingdom watched his boats all burned, sunk, and captured, and felt incredulous, wondering when the sailors of the Sui army were so powerful, no wonder they subdued all the pirates in just half a month, and even dominated this sea area.
Yasui Ichiro, who took the initiative to ask Yingdang to be the envoy, originally thought that he would die, but at this time, standing on the ship of the main general of the Japanese National Naval Division, his eyes were very good, and he was quite witty on the spot, his eyes rolled, and he sneered: "General, you still have a way, now order surrender." ”
