Chapter 437: The First Battle

The Ming army naturally would not stay in Penghu and wait for the Japanese to attack, facing the north and facing the south to fight against the Japanese invaders, and he would suffer a loss in the wind, he was hiding on a small island in the northeast of Penghu, and immediately waved his army to the west when he heard the attack of the Japanese invaders.

"Ahh The cold wind blew Ma Du sneezed again and again, and hurriedly wrapped the cloak on his body, "Lao Liao, you are a little sure!" ”

Liao Yongan glanced at Ma Du, "Eighteen ships against more than three hundred ships, you still ask me how sure I am." ”

"But we have firearms, the most powerful firearms...... Ahh ”

"Do you think the ship is a man? It has no life, it knows no pain, as long as it does not leak and the mast sails are still there, it will keep moving forward, it is the most fearless warrior on the ocean. If we are surrounded by the Japanese slave ships, we will have to engage in melee combat, and the good tigers will not be able to withstand the wolves, and we are afraid that we will suffer a great loss with our numbers. ”

"It seems to make some sense, Lao Liao, you are worthy of being a marshal of the navy, and you have a set of things to say."

Liao Yongan smiled proudly, "That's natural, my eyes widened for you to see my skills, and learn hard." ”

Ma Du pursed his lips disdainfully, "No matter how awesome the blowing is, it's not that I became Zhang Shicheng's prisoner on Taihu Lake." ”

Getting closer and closer to Penghu, the towering mast can already be clearly seen from the telescope, and the entire fleet of the Japanese invaders will appear in front of them a little closer, a piece of black and muddy, compared with them, these dozen ships of the Ming army are really thin, if it looks like a small snake rushing towards a fat wild boar.

The speed of this small sailing boat is naturally not as fast as that of a large boat, and it is so slow that it is knocked over in the sea by the big ship of the Ming army or used as a target.

The Ming army had also discovered the Ming army, and one by one the small sampans were lowered and swarmed towards the Ming army with the sentry boats, and the slower ships followed the formation.

In the face of the scarce number of Ming troops, the Japanese on the ship seemed very excited, holding their swords and shouting, and each small boat had a Japanese man with flying claws on the bow, so that you can see the way they attacked.

Liao Yongan put down the binoculars and smiled disdainfully: "The appearance of the widow is very similar to when Lao Tzu was a water thief in the past." ”

Madu quipped, "It seems that you look down on your former self." ”

Liao Yongan ignored Ma Du and ordered in a loud voice: "Order all ships to adjust their course, the direction is due south!" ”

When the sailors of the flagship heard this, they immediately adjusted the sails and rudders, and the heralds waved the flag and passed the order to the ships behind, and the whole fleet made a small turn and headed south, using the swarming Japanese fleet on one side of the ship.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than a mile, and it could be said that it was very small above the sea, and it was really surrounded by the ships of the Japanese invaders, and the Ming army had to suffer a loss.

Liao Yong'an, who had experienced a hundred battles, naturally couldn't allow the Japanese to get close, and immediately ordered: "Open the cannon!" ”

With Liao Yongan's order, more than 300 guns roared at the same time, and the bodies loaded with scattered bullets flew out, scattering dense projectiles at the boat.

If the dense projectiles are shot on a small boat, they will be splashed with sawdust and blood, and when they fall into the water, they will cause a splash of water, and the scene will be terrifying.

"Eight Grids!" Murakami Shiqing looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but roar angrily, he had already heard Jin Zilong say that the Ming army's firearms were sharp, but the scene in front of him was really beyond his expectations, he couldn't believe that such a momentum was artificial.

However, Murakami Shiqing did not feel timid because of this, but made his idea of destroying the Ming Navy even stronger, the current Ming Navy, although strong, is just a young dragon that has just gone to the sea, if he is not eliminated now, he will definitely grow into a colorful beast with the wealth in the ocean, as for his Murakami Navy, he is not even qualified to stand aside.

If this kind of shotshot hits the top of a large ship, it may not have a very good effect, and even a solid warehouse may not be able to penetrate it, and at most it will kill some more pirates.

But against these small boats, the effect is not ordinarily good, the thin board of the ship can not resist the attack of iron bullets at all, and it is a hole. There is nowhere to hide and there is no protection, as long as they are hit, their bones will be broken, their tendons will be broken, and they will die, and their death will be even more miserable and not human-like.

A rain of bullets passed, and the casualties of the Japanese on the small boat were as high as five or six out of ten, and all that remained was the frightened wah-wah-wah, and there was no will to fight.

Liao Yongan nodded with satisfaction, and ordered loudly: "Full sail to the south at full speed!" ”

"Huh...... I thought you had a good way to take advantage of it and leave, planning to kill the widows little by little. ”

"They have too many ships, otherwise you have a good idea."

"There's no good way, but your bite is too light, and it's not worth it to go now." Ma Du put his thumb in front of his eyes and gestured, and then looked at the binoculars, "Order: Use solid bullets, lift the muzzle of a gun, and hit Lao Tzu on the big boat with a blue banner in the middle!" ”

"Can you beat it?"

"There is no problem in the distance, as for the quasi-head, it's hard to say, I see that there is a Japanese dwarf on it who is so angry that he jumps to his feet, eighty percent is the flagship, if we can kill him with one shot, we will be relieved."

"Artillery reloaded, please instruct!"

"Call Lao Tzu!"

Madu gave the order, and the artillery roared again, and one after another solid iron bullets were fired at the Japanese ship with a whistling sound.

Whoa...... Solid iron shells stirred up huge waves on the surface of the sea, and most of the shells went into the sea, and less than 20% of the enemy ships actually hit them.

At such a distance, with the current artillery, it is already excellent to be able to achieve such a result, and it is thanks to the fact that the enemy ships are lined up closely enough. To Mado's delight, he said that the flagship of the Japanese was well wounded, and that through the binoculars, there were no less than three holes in the hull, and one of the masts had been broken.

Murakami Shiqing pushed away the gold that was pressing on him, looked at the hollow on the deck beside him incredulously, and then looked at the fallen mast, both angry and surprised. Seeing that the other ships around him did not seem to be seriously damaged, and there were not many casualties, he immediately got up and said in Japanese: "All ships immediately advance and charge!" ”

Jin Zilong said on the side: "Lord Murakami, why don't you withdraw first and avoid the edge for the time being." ”

"Baga, if we withdraw, we will only be dead, and we can only live by charging."

Ma Du saw through the telescope that the Japanese dwarf got up from the deck again and jumped to his feet angrily, "Old Liao, I think we should let them get closer and give them a little scattered bomb to taste." ”

"Don't die." Seeing the big boat on the opposite side coming diagonally, Liao Yongan sighed and smiled: "The leader of the Japanese still has two brushes, let's play with them slowly!" ”
