Chapter 413: Japanese Strategy (10)

"Rush forward! Just rush up and you're safe! The Japanese navy roared wildly in front of such a rain of stones and cannons.

At this time, they can only cheer themselves up with shouting.

The Japanese navy has always been a convoy and a fighter against pirates, and the long-range weapons on the ships are the ones and bows, and only the Ataka ships and the very few ships have large ordnance such as bed crossbows.

In the face of the attack of the Liangshan Water Division, even if it is only a partial division here, it is not something that the Japanese Water Master can humiliate.

"Huang Da, be careful not to be bitten by them! Keep your distance! In the Liangshan Water Division, Jiang De stood on the lookout with a telescope and shouted loudly, and Huang Daying, who was below, shouted, "Don't worry, commander, the brothers are stepping on the wheels below!" I don't have any other skills, and there are few people who can chase after me! ”

Jiang De, who was standing on it, listened to this, and for a while he didn't know whether to praise Huang Da or cover his face and feel ashamed.

If it was a year ago, Liang Shui Shi really didn't necessarily outrun the Wa Guo Sailor on the sea, because Liang Shui didn't have much experience in sea navigation at that time, but at this time, Liang Shui was already a frequent visitor to the sea, and there was not much wind and waves in the Seto Inland Sea, which made Liang Shui feel more suitable.

Under the acceleration of the dark wheel, the Wa Guo sailor was surprised to find that the speed of his fleet could not catch up with the Song Guo sailor in front of him, and even if it was a small early boat, it was difficult to approach the last one or two miles.

Huang Da was not wrong, he probably didn't dare to fight hand-to-hand, but he was really good at "escaping" like this, and in a quarter of an hour, the Liangshan fleet sank no less than twenty or thirty ships of the Japanese Naval Division, whether it was Muto Jinyi who was still chasing or the Iyo National Naval Division who had been beaten and bruised, looking at the Song fleet that seemed to be invincible in the world, morale was declining rapidly.

"My lord, we can't let them sink us slowly, we must surround them quickly! As long as they can't keep their distance from us, when it comes to broadside battles, we have an advantage. Yuan Li didn't expect Liang Shanshui to be so powerful, and hurriedly made a move.

"Divide the troops! Surround them! Muto Jinyi nodded and ordered.

"Commander! They're changing formations! Huang Da saw that the Japanese sailors were showing an arc-shaped formation, and he knew what the Japanese were thinking, and shouted loudly.

Jiang De kept looking at it with a telescope, he looked at the dense Japanese sailors, and suddenly felt less terrifying.

The nearest of the Wa State Navy Division is less than five or six hundred meters away from the Liang Shan Water Division, but so far the Wa State has not yet counterattacked, and among the hundreds of warships of the Wa State, the largest Anzhai ship is only four or five, and the closed ship is less than forty, and the rest are unobstructed small morning boats.

Water warfare is actually very simple, but the big ship beats the small ship, and the long attack beats the close attack.

The largest ship in the Japanese naval division is less than 40 meters long, and Jiang De's fleet, although there are only more than 20 ships, but the smallest is almost 30 meters, Jiang De's main ship, is nearly 50 meters long, there are 20 guns on both sides of the cannon alone, there are more than 20 ballistas on the deck, and the artillery of the entire fleet exceeds 200 guns, so many cannons, thanks to the efforts of Goryeo craftsmen, with the Goryeo Liangshan army, the military industry capacity is also growing rapidly.

Of course, this is still inferior to real artillery battleships, and the British battleships of the seventies of the seventeenth century had hundreds of guns on one piece.

But it is also enough to deal with the Japanese sailors.

Although Huang Da has tried his best, the Seto Inland Sea is still too small, and the Liangshan fleet can't get rid of the Japanese Naval Division, Jiang De looked at the slowly shrinking space and felt that it couldn't be like this anymore.

"Huang Da, the place is too small, so we will be trapped, rush to the Chinese army with all our strength, and hit the biggest ship!" Jiang De yelled at Huang Da.

Huang Da swallowed his saliva and rushed to the Chinese army? If you get entangled, it's not going to be easy.

But the commander's order still had to be carried out, Huang Da ordered the fleet to turn around and look for opportunities, and the sailor fleets of the Japanese Kingdom were sunk one by one, but there were still more than 500 ships.

Finally, under a salvo, the ships of the Japanese naval division from the rear began to retreat, and Huang Da immediately ordered "Turn the rudder right, line up in an array, quickly!" ”

Under a burst of flags, the Liangshan Shui Division began to turn again, and after about a quarter of an hour, Muto's main force was less than two miles away from the Liang Shan Division, and the rear army had been defeated by the Liang Shan Water Division, leaving less than ten ships to hide far away, not daring to approach.

The Ryosui Landscape Division, which used artillery, was much more effective than Muto had imagined.

"Rush to the middle army! Shoot on both sides!! ”

The Liangshan fleet turned into a long sword and stabbed at the front of the Japanese naval division, Muto Jinyi looked at the fierce Liangshan water division, first his heart was happy, he was also afraid that the Liangshan water division would retreat in the direction of Setjin, but slowly his face was not right.

"What's going on? Are they trying to assault? Muto Jinyi asked with a slight stammer.

The gardener came back to his senses and shouted, "Quick! Stop them quickly, they are all big ships, once they rush in, our army in the middle army will become the weaker side, hurry up!! ”

After all, Muto Jinyi and the others were daimyo of the peaceful Japanese country, and they had no actual combat experience at all, and they were okay to arrange troops from a distance, but once they saw the enemy troops charging into battle, they immediately became timid.

But this is an ancient water war, there is no radio and no telephone, and you can only rely on the command flag and gongs and drums to transmit orders.

Huang Da was overjoyed when he saw that the Japanese sailors were in chaos without a fight, and shouted, "Beat the drum quickly!" Shoot! Come on!! ”

The sailors of Liangshan rushed towards the Wa Shui Division quickly, the cannons were bursting, the drums were rumbling, and the Wa Sailors who wanted to rush over to intercept around were torn apart by the artillery fire before they approached, looking at the Liangshan Shui Shi who was like a demon god, Muto Jinyi was really panicked.

"Quick! Back off! Back off!! Let them rush up and stop them!! Muto Kanyoshi shouted as he pushed the samurai next to him.

As soon as Sonori heard that Muto Jinyi was going to retreat, he hurriedly said, "My lord, you can't retreat, once you retreat, our army will be defeated!" ”

"This..."Muto Jinyi's eyes rolled, a little hesitant, what a big battle he moved, just wanted to show the people of Heiyin Marquis and Heiankyo that this trade matter must rely on him Dazaifu.

If this is defeated, not only Heiankyo will no longer value him, but even the powerful people of Saikaido will abandon him.

"Rush up! Rushed up!! At this time, a burst of cheers came, Muto Jinyi stepped forward to take a look, and saw a customs ship rushing up with one or twenty small morning boats, and when he saw the flag, it was a pirate he had originally surrendered, and he was also energetic when he looked at such a brave subordinate.

"Drumming!! Quick, beat the drums and let the others rush too! ”

The firepower of Liangshan's ships was all on the flanks, and the front was really the place with the least firepower, and twenty or thirty small early ships quickly approached Liangshan's fleet, Jiang De looked at the Japanese soldiers who were shooting with bows, and shouted to the below, "Huang Da!" Don't let them hold you back! Rush over! ”

Huang Da sighed and said, "Commander, be careful, give orders, go full speed and sink them!" ”

After losing seven or eight of these twenty or thirty small early ships, they finally approached the Liangshan Water Division, and the Japanese army generals led by them bit small knives in their mouths and held flying claws in their hands, and said to the Japanese army next to them, "Brothers, this is the time for us to make meritorious contributions, as long as this battle is won, we can also seal the land as officials and live a happy life!" ”

The other Japanese soldiers nodded redly, and they rushed here at the risk of being killed by the giant arrows and stones, wasn't that what they were doing?

"Rush forward!" The general shouted, and with a flick of his flying claws, he grabbed a Liangshan battleship four or five meters away.

"Kill!!" The general roared and rushed to the ship, but before he could see the situation on the deck, a burst of arrows flew over, and he hurriedly rolled over, dodged, and stood up again to look, which almost frightened his soul.

I saw hundreds of samurai wearing battle armor, or holding bows and arrows or spears and swords looking at him coldly, and the most terrible thing was that these people were all wearing ghost masks, and they couldn't even see their expressions, even if he was born as a pirate, he felt panicked.

But he didn't have to panic, seeing him get up, dozens of feather arrows flew in, and he couldn't resist it at all with a small knife, just shot an arrow away, and was shot into a hedgehog, and was driven back by the momentum of the arrow feathers, and finally simply fell into the sea.

The Japanese army who had not yet come up looked at a group of Liangshan troops wearing iron armor to come to both sides, and stabbed them with spears, bows and arrows, and these spears were all special spears, six or seven meters long, made of hollow bamboo, and the Japanese army's katana was cut off, and it could still stab people to death, and the Japanese army that killed these ants fell into the sea countless times.

They were actually quite good, but they still touched the boat, and there were many small early boats that were knocked to the bottom of the sea by the huge Liangshan warship without even touching the side of the boat.

The sequelae of the Japanese ships without keels appeared, because there was no keel, which made the Japanese ships extremely vulnerable, in front of the huge Liangshan warship, it was to come one, hit one, come two, turn two, and even a little resistance was not counted.

"These Song people... How can these Song people wear iron armor, are they all crazy? Muto Jinyi saw that the Japanese army that went up was beaten like a group of monkeys, and he was anxious to scratch his face and cheeks, in his heart, the navy army wore leather armor at most, how could he wear iron armor? If this falls into the water, those who have not yet died cannot die again.

This is actually because Muto Jinyi's imagination is too thin, and the Liangshan Water Army is indeed not wearing iron armor, but paper armor.

Paper armor can be said to be a great invention of ancient Chinese military industry, many people think that paper armor is very weak, in fact, the defense of paper armor is very good, because of the weight, the thickness of iron armor is generally a few millimeters, but paper armor is at least three centimeters, the choice is very flexible paper, fixed with iron nails, if you encounter water, the defense will be doubled, the weight is far lower than iron armor, the cost is low.

But paper armor is not without weaknesses, the biggest weakness of paper armor is that the durability is very low, iron armor can be used for several years in wind and rain, but it will not take long for paper armor to be damaged.

Liangshan's navy has gradually changed into paper armor, which looks no different from iron armor from a distance because of the paint.

"Not good! They're coming! Muto Jinyi shouted, dozens of small ships did not stop the Liangshan fleet at all, the fleet still rushed over, Muto Jinyi looked at the ships of his own army that were sunk one after another by that strange weapon, looked at the wreckage that was smashed and broken in two, especially when he saw the red sea, he couldn't hold on any longer, he shouted, "Retreat!" Evacuate!! ”

"My lord, you can't withdraw! There are many of us, and we win by fighting! ”

"What do you win? How many people have died in so many of our boats, and have they injured a boat? This kingdom is kingdom, we can't win, withdraw quickly!! ”

"My lord! This... This won't work! ”

"I said yes! Remove!!! ”

Jiang De, who was on the boat, looked at the big ship he had been staring at and actually retreated, and secretly sighed, if the other party was a fierce man in the Warring States period of Japan like Oda Nobunaga, he was really worried, but now he saw that the magnates of the Japanese Kingdom at this time were all a group of anointed children, and they didn't have any great ability at all, he was determined, and he no longer controlled the overall situation on the lookout, and came down and said to Huang Da, who kept giving orders, "Huang Da, the thief will have no guts, rush over, and capture him alive for me!" ”

"Yes, Commander!" Huang Da also saw that the Japanese army was retreating, and he was about to jump up with great joy, this battle was won, and the Ruan family brothers dared to look down on him Uncle Huang.

"Kill! Kill me! ”

"Boom! Rumble!! Rumble!!! ”

With Huang Da's shout, the Liangshan fleet finally rushed to the Chinese army of the Japanese army, more than a dozen Guan ships were originally guarding in front of Muto Jinyi's Anzhai ship, which should have been safe, but because of Muto Jinyi's unauthorized retreat, the Liangshan fleet took the opportunity to frantically bombard the surrounding from the Guan boats, those Guan ships were shattered by the cannonballs and stone bullets flying around, and the morale of the Guan ships plummeted.

In the final analysis, Muto Jinyi never thought that he would fight to the death, he thought that as long as he showed the fleet, the Song fleet would naturally surrender, who would have thought that the rear army was torn to pieces by the Song fleet and killed his own prestige, and then the Chinese army was assaulted, where would he dare to fight again.

It is said that the wolves led by sheep are not terrible, not to mention that these widows are at most a pack of dogs.

"Commander, the thief army has retreated, do you want to pursue?" Huang Da said with a red face.

"Do you want to run when you hit it? Not so good thing, catch up! I'm going to see who has the audacity to kill us! ”

"Yes!"
