Chapter 130: Storm Evil II

Today's weather is very good, the sun is shining, the sea breeze is blowing, and it is noon, between the sun and the sea, the performance is extraordinarily charming, making people have a kind of laziness that can't help but lie on the beach and fall asleep.

The shadows of the islands on the west side and the shadows of the mainland on the east side confronted each other, and nearly a hundred ships lined up in several queues, and the middle row was a transport ship. On both sides were warships.

Ruan Jin raised his vigilance, and he stood on the lookout when the Qing army's sailors were the first to appear. Ruan Jin immediately found out. Ruan Jin raised his eyebrows at first, and said secretly in his heart: "It's really here." He immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert. And prepare to send a fleet to meet it.

It's just that when he saw it clearly, his mind sank suddenly.

The types of ships he had seen were all Western-style, and there were some in the Xia army. But concentrated in Nanjing, Fujian, and Ruan Jin's department, there is also one, but it is not in Ruan Jin's hands, but Zhou Fuchen's ship.

Nguyen Jin has never dealt with such a ship type. But he had heard that although he had heard that the Dutch had helped the Qing army build ships, he never thought that the Qing army's sailors would be like this.

"Careless." A thought flashed through Ruan Jin's heart, but this was not the time to think about it.

There was a roar. The war has officially begun.

Huang Wu knew that this battle was about his own and many people's lives, and if he didn't win, he would die, and the plan was not an empty word.

Therefore, Huang Wu fought very resolutely, he took the lead, and rushed to the front with his own ship.

Although the Qing army put a lot of effort into the ship, the financial resources of the Qing court and the skilled shipbuilders were also quite limited. Therefore, the ships of the Qing army, in terms of number, are much less, but only twenty or thirty ships, among which some ships of the Liaodong Naval Division of the Ming Army were taken over, and there were only a dozen ships, which were the latest big ships.

Among them, the largest one with the most artillery is Huang Wu's ship.

There are nearly 100 cannons in the Yellow Plane ship, and all the sides of the ship are shaped according to what the Dutch call large wood, and there is no place for splicing. Extremely sturdy.

As soon as Huang Wu appeared, he rushed out at a speed that almost hit the ship, and the cannon roared, and dozens of shells shot out in one breath.

In this confrontation, Ruan Jin immediately felt that something was wrong.

Because among the Xia Army's naval divisions, many artillery pieces were moved to Ganghwa Island. In addition, the Fubune is naturally lacking in firepower. The structure of the Fubune simply did not have room to withstand artillery. At the moment, even the original gun emplacements are not full.

Not to mention anything else.

The two sides confront, and the superior and the inferior stand out.

Huang Wu prepared carefully, regarded death as home, and led the team to rush to the front, and the artillery was extremely sharp.

And although Ruan Jin had a premonition before this, he also raised his vigilance. But many things, not what he wanted, he raised his vigilance and gave orders, but the army below has been loose for several days, how can it be Ruan Jin said to be vigilant, just be vigilant.

It is impossible to reverse this relaxed state of mind all at once.

Therefore, when the Qing army rushed over, the Xia army and sailors were inevitably in a hurry. On the battlefield, opportunities are always fleeting, and as soon as his reaction was a little slow, he gave up the opportunity to the other side.

Huang Wu is like a mad dog, he won't let go if he bites it, and his teeth are none other than cannons.

A ship of the Xia army was attacked by the Qing army's sailors, and almost all the cannons were aimed at this ship, and for a time countless water columns rose into the sky, as if in the sea, they stretched out an unknown number of hands at once.

In the midst of the waves rushing into the sky, there were even more cannonballs hitting this ship.

Almost between breaths, this ship did not know how many sawdust flew, the mast broke, countless people and sailors flew flesh and blood, almost in an instant, the only few remaining cannons on this ship were immediately in a state of dumb fire, some of the cannons were hit squarely, and the barrels were a little deformed.

But the more reason is that the people on board did not expect that the blow would be so dense and terrifying. Speaking of which, Zhejiang Sailor has not fought a hard battle before. The Yangtze River Naval Division has fought viciously with the Ming Army Naval Division, the Qing Army Naval Division, not to mention the Fujian Zheng Naval Division. It is even more experienced in a hundred battles.

However, the Zhejiang Navy Division Ruan Jin was established for a long time, but it was not a descendant of the imperial court, and it had not fought any major wars.

This lack of experience in dealing with artillery has been fully manifested in this wave of contact.

There are not many spare personnel on the gun position, and when the personnel on the gun position are killed or wounded in the aftermath of the shells, the people behind cannot be replaced at all, which creates a gap in firepower.

There is a lack of firepower, coupled with the current firepower gap. Let the Qing army sailors be like entering a no-man's land. But I saw Huang Wu turn the side of the ship, almost within a few zhang distance, against this ship, another round of shelling.

In an instant, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.

Both ships were engulfed in smoke, and both sides blurred their vision, waiting for a gust of sea breeze to blow the smoke away. But I saw that the ships of the Xia army were almost sunk, and nearly half of the ship's side was shattered. Seawater is poured into it as if it were not fatal.

In a matter of moments, the sea rushed onto the deck, crushing the ship down. In the blink of an eye, only a few masts remained above the water.

Huang Wu didn't wait for the ship to sink completely, and he had already let the ship press over the mast and rushed into the queue of Xia Jun's sailors.

Although the Zhejiang Navy Division has such and such defects, it is the regular army of Great Xia after all, and there are those who should be trained, except for the gap made by Huang Wushen's pioneers, the rest of the places are still fighting.

Huang Wu advanced so suddenly, almost on three sides, close to the ships of the Xia army, breathing and smelling each other.

At such a distance, the power of the cannon can be fully exerted, but it must also withstand the fire of the opponent to the fullest. In the almost flesh-and-knife fight, the quality of the ships on both sides could not be concealed at all, and all of them leaked out.

Huang Wu stood at the bow of the ship and looked desperate, the sailors on his ship were all Fujianese, and they were all Zheng's pawns. All of them were pirates and had quite rich combat experience, so at this time, they did not panic at all, stabilized their positions, and continued to fire artillery bombardment one after another.

And Huang Wu's side fearlessly continued to attack, but something happened on Xia Jun's side.

Confusion spread among the Xia fleet.

The reason for this is that first of all, it has something to do with the lack of preparation of Sergeant Xia, of course, another important reason is Ruan Jin's own command ability.

Commanding a fleet at sea is quite an easy task. Everyone has their own ability limit, at least Ruan Jin has not yet controlled hundreds of ships to the realm of fingers, as soon as something happens, there is panic up and down, some are advancing bravely, and some want to avoid the Qing army's sailors.

Nature is a mess, colliding with each other.

Of course, another important reason is the transport ship in the middle.

These ships used to transport North Korean personnel are all North Korean local ships, fishing boats, or cargo ships, but neither fishing boats nor cargo ships have ever thought of going to war one day, and most of the sailors on board are North Korean fishermen.

In order to keep some people in hand, the ship was densely packed.

And at this time, what kind of situation will it be when it encounters the shelling of the Qing army.

A "miserable" word can be described.

A cannonball hit the side of the ship, directly smashed the thin plank, with a scorching temperature, smashed on a soldier, how can the flesh and blood body resist, only to see this hot iron bullet, breaking through a flesh and blood body. The temperature of the iron bullet evaporated the blood.

Then, with unstoppable might, he smashed through the other side of the ship and smashed into the sea, stirring up a column of water.

So stubbornly made a tragic flesh and blood alley on the bed, with stumps and broken arms, dripping with blood, it looked like it was better than eighteen layers of hell, and people didn't dare to look at it directly. Such a tragic scene directly frightened all North Koreans.

The last bit of courage of the North Koreans was also scattered, and they did not think about the overall situation at all, and almost all the North Korean ships thought of one word: "Escape." ”
