Chapter 58: The Battle of Mingliang
Just after the Korean official army and the Ming official army won a certain victory at Jishan, the latest situation of the war about the Japanese invaders came from Busan, North Korea.
Hundreds of warships from Tsushima will soon be carrying tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers to fight in Korea.
After getting this military information in Busan, it was instantly passed on to Yi Sunsin, and after learning the news, Yi Sunsin decided to lead only twelve warships.
Prepare to meet the challenge of hundreds of Japanese ships, and Yi Sunsin, the god of the Korean navy, is about to lead the Korean navy to victory.
At this moment, Yi Sunsin also planned to attack the invading naval forces from the country of the Japanese in the Mingliang area.
At this moment, Yi Sunsin not only has 12 warships fighting, but those Japanese will also face challenges from the natural environment of the Mingliang Strait.
At this moment, Marshal Kwon Li believed that Yi Sunsin should incorporate all his naval forces into the jurisdiction of the army in accordance with the order.
However, at this moment, Yi Sunsin wanted to take the initiative to attack the Japanese warships with twelve warships.
At this moment, because the naval army under the command of General Yi Sunsin had only twelve warships, it was facing at least 300 warships of the former enemy Japanese army.
Yi Sunsin's barracks had already fled quite a few soldiers, but it was time to catch the fleeing officers.
Yi Sunsin carried out a merciless execution of the defectors in time, and the fate of being executed or killed by the Japanese army was the same.
And after defecting, there may still be a chance to live, so at this time, some of the sailors and soldiers fled.
And Yi Sunsin also hated this kind of person, how could the people who were facing a national disaster defect at this time.
Under the guidance of the local people, General Yi Sun-sin also carefully studied the topography of the Myeongliang Strait.
Yi Sunsin also discovered the uniqueness of the Mingliang Strait at this moment, so he chose to meet the challenge of the more than 300 Japanese ships in the Mingliang Strait.
After the defeat of the naval battle of Qichuanliang, the Korean naval army was in a state of collapse.
Because the impact of that naval battle on the Korean court was also very great, the Korean naval army, which had lost almost all its warships, had almost lost its combat effectiveness.
In the eyes of Yi Sunsin, who cleaned up the mess, the North Korean naval army was not completely ineffective.
Because the twelve warships that escaped back could still give the North Korean naval army a battle in the area of the Mingliang Strait.
And the turtle boat built by Yi Sunsin at this moment was also ruthlessly burned by the spies at night.
And Yi Sunsin, who was heartbroken to see the turtle ship he had painstakingly built, was burned to ashes by the fire.
At this moment, Yi Sunsin received information from the Japanese military camp, showing that more than 300 Japanese military ships had set off from Tsushima Island and were preparing to land in Korea.
At this moment, Yi Sunsin had already made up his mind to die, and ordered the sergeants to burn down the naval barracks.
He was going to lead the remaining sailors and soldiers to the Mingliang Strait with the twelve warships to prepare for a big battle.
Therefore, as soon as General Yi Sunsin's order to go out was issued, all the officers and men of the navy gathered up their energy and set off their ships to prepare for the battle.
In the large-scale naval battle in the history of Korea, all the officers and men of the navy have already participated in this battle with the determination to die.
There was no longer a single naval officer and soldier who defected at this moment, and at this moment, Yi Sunsin looked at the strait in the distance and constantly changed his battle formation.
At this moment, Yi Sunsin and all the officers and soldiers of the navy led by Yi Sunsin saw more than 300 Japanese warships from afar.
And when the other ships had not yet caught up, Yi Sunsin ordered his ships to drop anchor and prepare for battle.
As a result, the first batch of ships of the Japanese Navy rushed in the direction of Yi Sunsin's ships after giving an order.
At this moment, after entering the firing range, the Japanese army first launched a full-scale attack with advanced bird guns.
At this moment, the Japanese military ships collided with each other under the action of the tide, and at this moment, Yi Sunsin ordered to immediately fire on the first batch of Japanese military ships.
As a result, under the orders of Yi Sunsin, many of the first Japanese ships were destroyed under artillery fire.
Furthermore, due to the effect of the tides, Yi Sunsin ordered the Korean naval army to attack with magic arrows.
As a result, many Japanese ships exploded instantly after being hit, which also contributed to the complete failure of the first batch of Japanese naval forces.
As a result, the generals of the Japanese Navy had no choice but to send a second group of ships to the war, and the Korean ships could not stabilize the ships due to the action of the tides.
So at this moment, Yi Sunsin ordered the cable to be cut, and Yi Sunsin's military ship drifted with the current.
At this moment, Yi Sunsin also prepared the soldiers for close combat, so just as the Japanese were about to board the ship after the Japanese were approaching.
I saw a large number of Japanese soldiers rushing towards Yi Sunsin's ships, and Yi Sunsin ordered to open fire immediately, and directly destroyed several Japanese ships.
And with the close hand-to-hand battle with the Japanese Invaders, the Japanese soldiers continued to fall into the sea and die.
And in the constant white-knuckle battle with the Japanese Invaders, the Japanese Invaders used fire and thunder to blow up Yi Sunsin's general ship.
At this moment, Yi Sunsin also purged all the Japanese soldiers who boarded the ship with the help of the deputy general.
And with the help of artillery, after blowing up all the warships next to the general's ship, he engaged in a white-knuckle battle with the Japanese on board.
At this moment, the eleven warships that had been observing the battle situation in the rear also gathered and prepared to meet the ships of the Japanese Invaders.
So at this moment, the main ships of the Japanese army rushed towards the ship of General Yi Sun-sin.
The Japanese even came up with a plan to use straw boats to carry out an explosion raid, but the Korean military ship of Yi Sunsin sank the straw boat with artillery fire.
However, Yi Sunsin's general ship was still unharmed, so at this moment, the Japanese ships rushed like a tide.
At this moment, however, the tide completely helped General Yi Sun-sin, and the ships of the Japanese army and the general ships of the Korean Yi Sun-sin were in the center of the tide.
So in the ensuing white-knuckle battle, Yi Sunsin commanded the officers and soldiers of the Korean navy and fought with the coming Japanese navy.
Other North Korean naval vessels bypassed the tide and carried out a full-scale artillery bombardment of the Japanese ships.
Seeing that all the warships of the Japanese invaders were ruthlessly destroyed, the Japanese soldiers appeared in the Korean Sea as sacrifices to the god of the sea.
When the Japanese general rushed towards Yi Sunsin, he was shot by Yi Sunsin's soldiers with bows and arrows, and the Japanese general was killed.
At this moment, the Japanese military ships that continued to watch the battle in the back carried out a sortie on all lines under the command of the Japanese general.
However, although Yi Sunsin defeated the attacking Japanese in the Battle of Mingliang.
However, the North Korean warships also suffered all the unprecedented losses, and with the help of the North Korean people, the North Korean warships gradually gathered together.
And according to the order of General Yi Sunsin, he rushed directly to the cluster of Japanese warships at this moment, and the Korean warships at this moment were like divine help directly impacting the Japanese warships.
It was as if entering a no-man's land and directly washed away the Japanese warships, and under the order of Yi Sunsin, a single charge basically destroyed the Japanese warship cluster.
In the face of the rampaging North Korean warships, the Japanese generals finally decided to abandon the attack.
An order was given to the entire army to retreat, and then all the Japanese ships retreated according to the order.
This naval battle also made the Korean naval army famous in the history of world naval warfare, and it also showed that there was a god general Yi Sunsin.
While Korea's maritime frontiers will remain safe forever, Korea has also won a major victory since the Imjin Great Patriotic War.
After this victory, Korea regained control of the Korean Sea and for a period of time blocked the sea supply lines for the Japanese invaders.
And after the Battle of Myeongyang, Yi Sunsin, the god of the Korean navy, with his twelve Korean warships in the Myeongyang Strait.
The Japanese navy, known for its 300 ships, was completely defeated, and the battle was also the sole defense of the Korean army against the attack from the Japanese navy.
It also showed the determination of the DPRK to defend its homeland and the country, and its intention to resolutely annihilate the invading enemy.
And shortly after the Battle of Naruyo, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Wako Kingdom, also fell ill with a strange illness.
And after suffering from a strange disease, it is difficult to command behind the scenes, so what military operations can the soldiers of the Japanese Invaders have.
It depends on what the bandit leaders of the Japanese army think of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's illness.
And after Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the lord of the Wako Kingdom, became ill, it is still unknown how long he will be able to survive.
