Chapter 276: Keep an eye on it! It's a big fish!

After learning that Jeju Island had been captured by a group of pirates, the Joseon Dynasty immediately mobilized sailors to exterminate the pirates, and almost all of the Korean warships were sent to Jeju Island, except for the sailors who confronted Geoje and the Wa Kingdom. In five days, all kinds of sea ships have arrived on Jeju Island.

Park Young-hwan, as the commander of the largest naval division in North Korea, is not as optimistic as the ministers in the imperial court.

According to the war report, it was the Seiyi pirates who invaded Jeju Island. There were as many as ten large splints alone, and the turtle ships under his command were by no means the opponents of these Xiyi ships.

The only thing that can do damage to these big guys is the fireship, and what makes Park Young-hwan a headache is the pirates and other ships of all sizes.

These ships can stop the fireships they send out, how can they fight to win and force off the pirates?

Zhang Dou has boarded the flagship of the Sea Shark No. 1, and the Navy of Changsheng Island has been fully dispatched to meet the North Korean naval division.

The North Koreans must be beaten so that they can obediently recognize the ownership of Jeju Island. Otherwise, he will face endless harassment from the North Koreans in the future, and Zhang Dou will not have the time to confront the North Koreans for a long time.

The Jangheung army sailed out of Jeju Island for half a day before encountering the North Korean naval division, and after discovering the other side, Allen immediately discharged the battle formation.

The Sea Shark battleship cut to the enemy's flank in a battle line, the Exocet clipper protected the Sea Shark battleship from the fireship, and the remaining large and small warships surrounded the Korean sailors and opened fire on their own.

As soon as the battle began, Park Young-hwan was caught off guard, and the pirate's tactics annoyed him for a while. The battleship of the tall Xiyi pirates did not go straight to their own fleet, but roamed around the outside of their fleet, and kept firing guns to sink their own ships.

The fireships he sent were intercepted by those extremely fast warships before they could get close, and they were completely lost before they could rush to the Xiyi splint.

It was those large and small lucky ships that made his fleet suffer, although there were not many guns on these lucky ships, and the power was not great, but they were numerous.

There was a fierce bombardment of the sea ships surrounding him, and even the turtle ships could not withstand such a blow. Seeing that his fleet was constantly being sunk by pirates, Park Young-hwan decided to take a gamble.

If he didn't make a decision, he didn't even have a chance to gamble, so he immediately ordered: "All the warships are scattered to attack, and the turtle ships and fifty fireboats will attack the Xiyi Great Splint Battleship!" ”

This was a desperate way of playing, and once the Xiyi battleship was not repulsed, the scattered Korean sailors would never be a match for the pirates. Nothing but surrender awaited them, only one-sided slaughter remained.

The key to this battle depends on whether he can sink the Xiyi splint battleship, as long as he can sink one, he can shake the confidence of the pirates.

Until now, he still thought that he was fighting with a group of pirates, and as long as the pirates paid the price, they would naturally retreat.

Seeing that the North Korean sailors actually divided eleven turtle boats to lead dozens of small boats to rush up, Allen immediately ordered the Sea Shark battleship to retreat backwards.

As soon as they retreated, Park Young-hwan immediately fell into a state of collapse, and his turtle boat was so slow that he couldn't catch up with the Xiyi splint at all.

The fireboat had to be rowed by oarsmen to move, and if it was pursued for a long time, the oarsmen on the boat would be exhausted.

Listening to the rumbling cannons all around, Park Young-hwan knew that the North Korean sailors were finished. Once completely annihilated here, the North Korean sailors will go back ten years and lose control of Jeju Island.

"Rush forward! Rush up! Park Young-hwan decided to make a desperate gamble and let the fireboat entangle the pirate's warship, and then lead the turtle ship to the side to take overboard.

More than 50 fireboats, which had been hiding behind the turtle boat, rushed at full speed towards the Sea Shark warship after receiving the order, and the oarsmen on the fireboat rowed desperately, and their task was to crash into the enemy's large ship and then set fire to the ship.

It's a one-time consumable, and it's not afraid of sacrifice at all. Just as they were paddling desperately, the Xiyi plywood boat in front of them also stopped shelling.

I saw that the sails were hung up, and the huge hull began to slowly accelerate. The distance that had been being shortened was widened little by little, and when the sails of the pirate warship were full, the oarsmen on the fireship could only look at the ship and sigh.

They just chased for less than five miles and stopped, no matter how good a person's physical strength is, there is a certain limit. The pursuit had exhausted them just now, and just as the fireboat oarsmen wanted to rest for a while to conserve their strength, a Flying Fish clipper appeared beside them.

The muzzle of the black hole was aimed at these fireships paralyzed on the sea, and the target that could not be bombarded was safe for the Changsheng Island Navy.

More than a dozen fireships were sunk in just one round of shelling, and the remaining fireboats immediately scattered in all directions. But the physical strength they have exhausted determines the speed of the fireship, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.

Zhang Huan stood on the stern of the Exocet clipper with a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, constantly directing the ship to turn, and the Exocet 9 must be able to bite a fireboat every time it turned, and a few shells immediately turned these consumables into pieces.

First mate Ma Le walked up to Zhang Huan and said, "Captain! We're all shooting small shrimp like this, when can we eat meat like a sea shark battleship? ”

Zhang Huan didn't turn his head and said, "It's almost there!" Clean up these little shrimps, let's go find those turtle boat troubles! MMD, even called a turtle boat, is a real turtle shell, and we can also smash it! ”

The two 24-pounder Chuyang cannons on the ship gave Zhang Huan a great boost in confidence, and the last time he dealt with the Japanese ships, he tasted the sweetness.

As long as such shells are hit, they basically lose their combat effectiveness. In this naval battle, Zhang Huan, like his sailors, held back his strength and wanted to do a big job.

These fireships in front of you are an appetizer, as long as you destroy the fireboats, you can attack the slow turtle ships behind.

Park Young-hwan kept urging the oarsmen to speed up in the back, and the fireship in front of him was suffering a devastating blow. Without these fireships, the pirates would have attacked with impunity, which was the nightmare of the Korean sailors.

But the turtle boat was designed with a focus on defense, and the poor sails on the boat provided limited power. Although the rowing of the oarsman can increase the speed of the turtle boat, it is about the same as that of a normal warship.

Seeing that the last fireship was also hit and sunk by the pirate's clipper, Park Young-hwan ordered painfully: "Let all the sea ships disperse and break through, and count as many as you can!" The North Korean sailors can't be wiped out here, they must leave seeds for the North Korean sailors! ”

As soon as his order was given, the eleven turtle boats of the Korean sailors immediately scattered and fled. Those North Korean sailors who saw the flag on the flagship also turned around and ran away, except for the Korean warships that were fighting and could not escape, the remaining sea ships immediately scattered and fled for their lives.

The scene of the original battle suddenly became chaotic, and Alan was also very troubled by such a situation. There were North Korean warships everywhere, and he didn't know which one to chase.

"Keep an eye on it! It's a big fish! Zhang Huan ordered.
