Not long after, Huang Han led seven old lock-boat-type warships to catch up with the Japanese armed merchant ships, and the flagship flag waved to convey the order to stop the manpower drive and maintain a speed of about six knots and sail in the same direction as the enemy ships.

It was obvious that the enemy ships were sailing at full speed with the intention of getting rid of the pursuit, and their speed should have been more than five knots, and the "Red Banner Army" warships stopped manpower driving and maintained a certain degree of inertia after approaching at a speed of eight or nine knots.

Soon, the seven old lock ships approached the Zhuyin ship and the No. 2 Fu ship and went in the opposite direction, and at this time, the distance between the port side of the two ships to the starboard side was only more than 100 steps, and the three guns on this side of the Japanese ship could completely beat the old lock boat.

However, the sailors and gunners of the Japanese ships were all intimidated, and they clearly saw that more than 20 guns on the enemy ships were aimed at them, and the caliber was probably more than double that of their own guns.

No Japanese dared to start a war with artillery first, and they were still lucky.

Because they found that the incoming ship was also flying the Daming flag, in their subconscious, the Daming Sailor was Zheng Zhilong's team, because the Japanese had not heard of any other Daming Sailor who could conduct ocean-going operations.

It stands to reason that these big warships equipped with terrible artillery should be the guerrilla general Zheng Zhilong of the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense.

Although the Japanese were loaded with artillery, they were hesitant to fire, and there were still sailors waving their flags trying to make contact.

Huang Han is the most energetic in fighting devils, so he doesn't care whether it is a blatant provocation, and he doesn't care if it is the first shot, why not strike first?

Huang Han did not hesitate to give the order for the whole army to attack, and the remaining six warships were already ready, and when they saw the flag raised by the flagship, all the Franc machine guns opened fire one after another.

"Boom, boom, boom......" was covered by a round of artillery fire, all of which were shotgun attacks, and about 20 shots per ship were enough to shoot out iron projectiles weighing more than 6,340 yuan, and they really attacked the Japanese ships like a storm.

There was no need to fight the second round, because the ships were full of ghosts and wolves, as long as it was a sailor or gunner on the deck, basically no one could survive, and the disparity in force was huge, and the first robbery of the "Red Banner Army" basically did not encounter an effective counterattack.

The next step was to approach the enemy ship and shoot a bed crossbow, which was also a weapon unique to the warships of the "Red Banner Army".

The improved bed crossbow made extensive use of steel, making it much smaller and more powerful, with an effective range of 200 paces, and a steel spear capable of carrying a rope deep into enemy ships.

With a few barbed steel spears fired, the sailors can easily hold the enemy ship, and then they can get the enemy ship close to their own ship, making it easier for the sailors to jump into the ship.

There was an advantage to pinning the enemy ship in this way, because the enemy sailors could not cut the ropes outside the ship because the enemy had nowhere to hide due to the scattered shells of our guns and the fire from the Minnie guns.

This means that the nailed armed merchant ships can no longer escape the control of the "Red Banner Army", and if they are ready to temporarily give up on letting the captured enemy ships approach, they can relax the ropes and not pull.

Easily knocked out the defense of the Japanese ship, and under the vigilance of the Minnie gunners and the self-generated guns, the sword and shield men and the marines calmly boarded the enemy ship, and then the uniform shout sounded: "The Daming Navy Division captures the pirates and surrenders to avoid death!" ”

There were still more than half of the survivors on the ship of the Japanese Kingdom who had been defeated, and these people were able to survive because they did not appear on the deck, the number was about one hundred and fifty or sixty people, and basically no one dared to resist, and they came to the deck one by one to raise their hands and surrender.

The first battle was won and there were zero casualties, which was entirely due to the fact that the ships were not only different in rank, but also in the next generation.

The warships of the "Red Banner Army" had already adopted the model of the 16th and 17th centuries in which the West completely competed in firepower to fight on the battle line, and this method of warfare was originally pioneered by the British more than ten years later.

Asian warships are still stuck in hand-to-hand combat. Or one sentence can cover everything, and if you fall behind, you will have to be beaten!

In just one hour, five armed merchant ships were captured, each of which should be worth nearly 30,000 taels of silver with its cargo.

At this time, all the warships slowed down, first, waiting for the merchant fleet behind to catch up and join the captured formation, and second, the speed of the captured armed merchant ships was worrying, and it was difficult for Wang Yuqi to send people to rush to repair the speed of five knots.

Who knew that after sailing for less than half an hour, a fleet came from the direction of the Wa Kingdom, and the bow of the ship was waving the big flag with the wind.

It was evident that the flotilla of a dozen warships had spotted a group of seven warships carrying five merchant ships, and they were approaching at full speed, and when they were close to a nautical mile or so, the other side raised a flag and demanded dialogue.

These flags are very standardized, and they are simple contact agreements of the Ming Navy, which Shen Xianyi and many former Ming army sailors and gunners know each other.

Captain Shen Xianyi is not reckless, he is not ready to negotiate with the Eighteen Zhi fleet, because General Pingliao is on this ship, and there must be no accidents.

He waved the flag and instructed Captain Huang Chunsheng to let him drive the warship forward to talk to the Zheng family's sailors.

Huang Chunsheng is a native of Jiulitai Village, Yongping Prefecture, the first batch of family warriors of the Huang family, and the nephew of Huang Han, although Huang Chunsheng is five or six years older than Huang Han.

In the early stage, Huang Han led the cavalry to fight, and Huang Chunsheng belonged to the cavalry who drove ducks to the shelves.

At that time, Huang Chunsheng, who had been promoted to the chief flag officer of the trial hundred households, how could he be willing to be resigned, and then changed to the chief flag officer of the heavy infantry sword and shield bearer, but because he broke his leg when he practiced horseback riding, even if he had been practicing guns and sticks in Huang Yizhou since he was a child, he also felt physically weak.

When Huang Yong formed the naval division, in order to strengthen the control of the sea power, Huang Han sent several brothers who started to serve as officers, including Huang Chunsheng.

The heavy infantry sword and shield hand with the top helmet and armor carried a weight of seventy or eighty pounds, and Huang Chunsheng had an old wound on his leg that was difficult to hold onto, so there was no such problem when he changed his career to join the sailor, because it was not the captain's turn to participate in hand-to-hand combat.

Huang Chunsheng has military merits and therefore has a false title from the fourth rank, but the battle sequence number of the warship he brought is after Shen Xianyi's warship, according to the combat regulations, when the "Red Banner Army" warship is formed, the number of the first is the flagship, and so on if there is a battle loss.

Therefore, Shen Xianyi, the captain of the sixth rank, can give orders to Captain Huang Chunsheng, who is from the fourth rank.

Huang Han asked Shen Xianyi to display a flag to inform Huang Chunsheng to order Zheng's fleet to be inspected by the Pingliao general's dispatch of his family members to board the ship, because the Pingliao general had heard that the guerrilla general Zheng Zhilong had broken the law and openly used the imperial court sailors to conduct smuggling trade.

Hearing this order, Shen Xianyi couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, it was obvious that General Pingliao was preparing to start a war with Zheng Zhilong's fleet.
