Chapter 397: Naval Battle

Both fleets are looking for each other, and in addition, it is only in the Korean Strait, so naturally there will be no situation where they miss each other. Standing at the bow of the flagship, Qi Jin put down the telescope in his hand.

"The strength of the Sailor is very strong!" Qi Jin said to Yu Dayou beside him.

"The size of the fleet is huge!"

Yu Dayou pursed his lips disdainfully: "What's the use?" You sit in the flagship, I will go to the front to command, this time I will let the Japanese know that they know that they are powerful, I will lead the First Fleet to break forward head-on, and you will lead the Second Fleet to outflank from the flank. ”

According to the establishment of the Daming Naval Division, the Royal Naval Division had a total of two fleets, and one fleet had a total of 49 warships, including seven large ships, equipped with 100 guns.

Fourteen medium ships, armed with sixty to eighty guns, and twenty-eight small ships, armed with thirty to forty guns. In addition to these warships, there are also supply ships and troop carriers.

The scale of the entire naval division has reached more than 200 ships and 100 warships, which is all Zhu Yijun's belongings over the years.

There is still a long way to go from Zhu Yijun's thousand-sail race, but this is all the money that Zhu Yijun can take out, and a large part of Zhu Yijun's money is smashed on this.

However, it has also accumulated a large number of shipbuilders and shipbuilding techniques.

After this war between the Korean and Japanese states, the Ming Dynasty will open the sea ban and organize the trade fleet, and then the shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty will definitely usher in great development, and Zhu Yijun will be able to make a lot of money by relying on shipbuilding.

Yu Dayou left the flagship and soon came to the main ship of the First Fleet in front.

Qi Jin did not slack off, and directly ordered the Second Fleet to deploy quickly, and then went diagonally to both sides, and the gun port baffles below the deck were also removed, and the gun ports of the black hole were also exposed from the inside.

The Nine Ghosts Jialong also saw the Daming fleet at this time, and the moment he saw the Daming fleet, the Nine Ghosts Jialong's face became ugly.

Obviously, the size of the Ming fleet was beyond his expectations, the ships were very large, especially after the baffle was lowered, the black hole hole muzzle was really terrifying. Although the Japanese have also developed sailors over the years and obtained some technology from the Portuguese, they are really far behind compared to the Ming fleet.

Compared with the warships of the Ming Dynasty, his own ship is like a small sampan.

Fujido Gaohu naturally saw this scene, his face was also very ugly, his ominous premonition really came true, turned his head to look at the Nine Ghosts Jialong, Fujido Gaohu opened his mouth and asked, "Osumi Shou, what should we do?" ”

"At this time, we can only fight to the death!" Nine Ghost Jialong gritted his teeth and said.

Now it is impossible to turn the bow of the ship and retreat, if it really does, his own fleet can only become the target of the Ming Naval Division. More importantly, where can you retreat? Did you retreat to Tsushima?

In that case, he will be blocked and beaten by the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, and Tsushima Island must not be lost.

"Pass the order, get ready for battle!" Nine Ghost Jialong said loudly.

The two sides approached quickly, and the warship on the side of the Daming Royal Sailor came sideways, revealing the side gun, and in the disbelief of the Nine Ghosts Jialong and Fujitang Gaohu, the Daming Sailor opened fire.

The cannonball pierced the sky and smashed directly at the Japanese fleet.

The shell fell into the water and exploded directly, splashing countless splashes in an instant, and after falling on the ship, there was also an earth-shattering explosion. The small boat was directly blown to pieces, and the larger ship was also directly blown into a big hole.

The sea water poured into the big hole, and the Japanese on the warship were instantly shocked.

Nine Ghost Longjia looked at this scene in disbelief, his face was full of frightened looks, so far, Nine Ghost Longjia only had two ways to choose, rush up and fight close to the Daming Water Division, or turn around and run.

But how can it be so easy for the warship to turn around, once it starts to turn around, it is estimated that it will be bombed off by the Ming warship before it can be adjusted.

The Nine Ghosts Longjia was also very decisive, shouting with red eyes: "Rush up, rush up!" ”

On the warship of the Ming Dynasty, Yu Dayou looked at the splash of the cannonballs on the sea, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he wanted this effect: "Pass the order and keep a distance from the warships of the Japanese Invaders." ”

"Prioritize attacking ships that are approaching, and don't let them come close."

Each of the warships of the Royal Sailors is a treasure, Yu Dayou doesn't want to be blown up and sunk by the Japanese invaders, his own artillery hits farther and is more powerful, just hang the Japanese and fight them.

Now Yu Dayou has a deeper understanding of a sentence in the Royal Sailor Drill Codex.

That is, longer range, greater power, higher speed, thicker armor, Yu Dayou also knew that this was right before, but the experience was not deep, this time he really realized what was contained in these four sentences.

These four sentences exhaust the key elements of the naval division's operations.

Faster speed, you can't catch up with me, longer range, you can't hit me, I can only hit you, more power, one shot can sink you, as for thicker armor is also very understandable, in the artillery bombardment, thick armor can resist for a while.

Among these four elements, the armor is ranked last, and it is clear in the Royal Sailor Code that you should not take a confrontational combat method with the opponent unless you have to, because that will increase the battle damage.

The pirates rushed forward frantically, but it was all in vain.

When the Ming warship on the side also fired, the sailors of the Japanese invaders entered the countdown to destruction, this is the gap between the times, and the Ming warship is definitely the most advanced existence in this era.

The perfect design concept from later generations, coupled with the artillery that poured all the strength of Zhu Yijun, the warship that fought the Japanese invaders did not waste any strength at all.

Although Daming has cast a lot of artillery, where is the most powerful and cutting-edge artillery? There is only one answer, that is, the Ming Royal Sailor, and the heavy artillery can only exert its greatest power in the Sailor.

The transport capacity of this era largely limited the use of heavy artillery in land warfare.

Naval warfare does not have to worry about this at all, and the power of heavy artillery can be unleashed to the fullest.

Qi Jin looked at the bombed and sunken warships, and said to the heralds beside him: "Go down and give the order, if you can capture the warships, capture the warships of the Japanese." ”

It's all money!

Although the royal sailors did not look down on the warships of the Japanese Invaders, some people saw that these ships would definitely sell for a lot of money.

Nine Ghost Jialong and Fujitang Gaohu looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, none of the warships on their side rushed to the side of the Daming Naval Division, and all of them were blown up and sunk in the sea.

When the warships of the Ming army surrounded them, the two people knew that the general trend had gone, and the two people hurriedly ordered a retreat, and the warships behind hurriedly turned their bows, and they still had hope of escaping.
