I'll complete yesterday's chapter.,Let's take a look at it first.,I'm going to try to write more tonight.,Now I'm only free at night)

Although the sea was covered with fog, Won Gyun could still see that the Japanese navy was gathering not far away, and this time, the number of warships and troops of both sides was roughly equal, and if you dig deeper, the Korean navy may have a numerical advantage, which is not the case in Yi Sunsin's time.

"All ships obey my orders and move forward at full speed!" This was the first naval battle led by Yuan Jun, and in the face of the excellent situation of being outnumbered by the enemy, of course, it was necessary to use the powerful firepower of the tortoiseshell ship to teach the Japanese a good lesson.

According to the previous tactics, the tortoiseshell ship first quickly rushed into the enemy formation, disrupting the enemy formation, and then used the firepower advantage to attack the neighboring ships, causing chaos and then the rest of the ships joined the battle. Normally, the time it takes to go from charge to chaos is very short, and other ships can almost always pick up the bargain when they reach the combat zone at regular speed.

Although Yuan Jun said that he can't fight a war, he still has the ability to imitate, isn't it just to draw a scoop according to the gourd, besides, this time he has an advantage, how can there be a reason to fail? Therefore, this general of Yuan dared to give the order for the whole army to attack.

But he is not the only one who knows "painting a scoop according to the gourd", Xiaogao also knows, it is precisely because he knows this that he thinks of "planning the plan" and "luring the enemy to go deeper", you see, this grade and knowledge immediately went up. The reason why the North Korean naval army has a numerical advantage this time is not because there are not enough ships in the port of Busan, but Hyogao deliberately did it with a clear purpose, that is, to let Won Jun relax his vigilance and obediently enter the trap he dug in advance.

The speed of the tortoiseshell ship was really amazing, and after a while, it sailed to the sea about a mile away from Kato Yoshiaki's vanguard, this is a line, and entering this line is to enter the range of the tortoiseshell ship, according to past experience, in this case, not to say certainly, at least eighty percent sure of hitting the Japanese ship.

Due to the structural defects of Japanese ships (compared to the flat-bottomed ships of the Ming Dynasty and Korea, most of the Japanese sea ships had pointed bottoms, and the stability and sturdiness of such ships were difficult to guarantee with the manufacturing technology of the time), once the guns on the tortoiseshell ships hit the bow or pierced the deck, they would sink to the bottom of the sea instantly, and at least they would lose their combat ability and withdraw from the battle.

"Prepare to fire." Yuan Jun commanded proudly, and he didn't take the Japanese naval army on the opposite side seriously at all.

"Wait, sir." An old gunner asked: "Wait until the distance is closer before firing, so that the accuracy is greater." ”

"Oh, yes," Yuan Jun didn't know anything about artillery, and before setting off, he only checked the information left by Li Sunsin, and only knew that the firing range of the "Ye Gong Shen Gong" on the tortoiseshell ship was one mile, so he felt that the distance was almost the same, so he ordered the cannon to fire, without considering the accuracy at all.

At this moment, he lost face in front of the soldiers, Yuan Jun's old face immediately turned red like a monkey's buttocks, if it was according to the past, he would have arrested this artilleryman and beaten him badly, but now is the critical juncture of the battle, in order to avoid the army's heart being shaken, he had to swallow this breath, and pretended to be calm: "Ah, I forgot, yes, yes, wait until you get closer and then fight, and then fight when you get closer." ”

Although everyone didn't say anything, they looked down on Yuan Jun in their hearts, and even the old gunner, who had been silent, couldn't help but mutter: "How can the imperial court let this kind of person command the navy?" ”

There are contradictions, but after all, they are internal, and at the moment of the great enemy, the question of the commander's ability will be put aside first, and it is the urgent task to destroy the Japanese naval army according to the predetermined plan. Under the command of Vice Admiral Li Yiqi, the forward tortoiseshell ship continued to approach the Japanese ship, and seeing that there were still 800 meters left, all gunners were ready to open fire, and the scene of the Battle of Wenlu was about to be staged again.

"General, the Japanese ship suddenly headed northwest, and it was already out of our attack range." Just as Won Jun was triumphant, the sentry hurried to the cabin to report to him.

"The pirates must be scared and want to flee before our troops open fire." Yuan Jun tried his best to show that he was in control of the victory, and firmly ordered: "The whole army is chasing after it, and it must be annihilated!" ”

At normal speed, it would have been easy to catch up with the Japanese ships, but now that the sea is stormy and the waves are high, and the Korean navy has come from afar (equivalent to crossing the Taiwan Strait), the officers and men are exhausted, and the maneuverability of the tortoiseshell ships is naturally greatly reduced.

However, the seaworthiness of the Japanese ships was not much better, and it was not long before they were included in the range of the North Korean naval forces. "Hit me hard!" Yuan Jun's voice was still high-pitched, but it was obviously less excited and more impatient and irritable.

"General, the Japanese ship has quickly turned into the Cape of Shadow Island." As soon as the shells were issued, a sentry ran to the cabin in a panic and reported in a pant voice: "Their course changed too suddenly, and our bow did not have time to turn around, and most of the shells were fired on Shadow Island, and according to the observation of his subordinates, only two or three shots hit the enemy ship." ”

"Bastard!" Yuan Jun finally couldn't help it, slammed his fists on the table hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn guy, are you playing me like a monkey?" ”

It is reasonable for Yuan Jun to be angry, this is like a prey that is about to arrive, and it slips away from his mouth again and again, which makes everyone angry. Especially on the battlefield, being dragged by the enemy's nose is definitely not pleasant.

"Okay, if he wants to play, I'll play with him," Yuan Jun was still angry, and his hands were propped on the table and ordered angrily: "All ships turn the rudder to the left and go around the cape to pursue the Japanese invaders!" ”

"General Li, our army is not very familiar with the southeast headland, should you send a sentinel ship to investigate first?" After receiving the rudder signal, the forward lieutenant general and the right water envoy of Gyeongsang Province Pei Wedge suggested to Li Yiqi.

Indeed, the end point of the Japanese army's sea grain route was the main battlefield of the Battle of Munroku, located in the port of Busan between Yeongdo and Gadeokdo, and the sea area east of Yeongdo Island was far away from Xiansan Island and sheltered by Ulsan, so it lacked strategic space, and was a forbidden place for Korean naval forces for generations.

"It's midnight, the weather is unfavorable, if you follow up rashly, I'm afraid there will be accidents." Li Yiqi has followed Li Sunsin to the south and north for more than ten years, and this clue can still be seen, but when he thought of Yuan Jun's temper, he hesitated a little: "If you send a sentry ship to investigate first, it will definitely waste a lot of time back and forth, if you really find something, then it's okay to say, if it is confirmed that it is me and others who are worried about the sky, General Yuan may be difficult to explain." ”

"What do you think?" Although Pei Wedge knew Li Yiqi's thoughts, he still hoped that he could come up with another way.

"We will lead four tortoiseshell ships first, and if there is no trap, we will call other ships to follow, if we really succeed, we will be able to retreat calmly with our firepower." Li Yiqi frowned, thinking that there was only this way now.
