Chapter 445: The Fastest, the Strongest, This Is Naval Battle

"My lord, a pirate ship is rushing this way!" The sailors on the flagship screamed in horror. 【】

"Fight!" Min Shangdao was dressed roughly, and shouted with red eyes: "Prepare all the handles, prepare to extinguish the fire, let the sword boat surround it, and block the way of the boat!" Even if you engage in a broadside battle, you have to fight with them! ”

He really couldn't continue to calm down, the sailors of the ten ships that had been hit before had already begun to jump into the sea, and it was obvious that the fire was out of control.

He didn't have time to think about why those idiots would rather jump into the sea than put out the fire, he only knew that if he didn't make some achievements and go back, when he returned to Jeolla Province, his fate would only be doomed.

But to his disappointment, the sword ship did not effectively intercept the other party.

In fact, this is also a matter of course, although the so-called sword boat is called good, but in fact it is just a small boat slightly larger than a sampan with a ramming angle.

Its light size keeps it flexible, and compared to the flying flywheel battleship, the sword ship can only be screamed.

Although there are one or two heroic ones that block the direction of the other party's travel, the flywheel battleship is much larger than the small sampan, and it is congenitally limited if it can't hit the board house, and there is no pressure to knock over a few sampans.

"Bang!"

The opponent's target was not those sword ships, and when the two sides approached to a certain extent, the throwing weapons on the pirate ship were activated again, and a round thing drew a beautiful parabola in the air and smashed heavily on the North Korean flagship.

"Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire quickly, crossbowmen, firecrackers, counterattack, fight back!" Min Shangdao stood at the bow of the boat, stomping his feet desperately, shouting hoarsely.

This time when he was closer, he could see clearly that the thing had already begun to burn in mid-air, and after hitting the target, there was still a projectile trajectory composed of a wisp of green smoke in the air.

Despicable, too despicable, actually using firearms, isn't this bullying? Min Sang-do was very angry, North Korea followed the example of the Ming Dynasty everywhere, of course, there were firearms in the army, and the flagship Dahan was also equipped with some firearms.

However, the counterattack of the Daehan was weak, and neither the fire guns nor the bows and arrows caused any trouble to the other side.

The reason is very simple, although the distance between the two sides is relatively close, in fact, it is about 200 paces, far beyond the range of long-range weapons on the North Korean side. Not to mention killing, even if it is the farthest arrow, it loses its strength from a distance, and it is planted obliquely into the waves, and not even a single hair of the opponent is injured.

"Put out the fire, don't worry so much about it, everyone comes and puts out the fire." Disasters are not one-way, even if they don't hurt the other party, but the fire on the Dahan has not been alleviated, Min Shangdao is shocked and angry, and he is obviously ready to extinguish the fire, why is it still like this?

"Isn't it ready for a long time? How can the fire still expand! Waste, it's all waste! He roared angrily, like a wounded beast, "This is an ironclad ship, the strongest ironclad ship in the world, it should be invincible, how can this be?" How so? ”

"My lord, this fire is weird, and it's not afraid of water!" The firefighters shouted in despair.

They don't want to die, and those examples that have become big torches tell them that if they can't put out the fire, Bacheng will have to die, even if they don't have Min Shangdao's orders, they will do their best to put out the fire.

But this fire is indeed strange, and there is no sign of extinguishing it when the water is poured on it, and the flame will burst out from time to time with a few sparks, and the sparks glow with a faint light, which makes people feel creepy when they see it, and the effect is even more shocking.

No matter where the spark touched, whether it was a wet deck, a man, or even the iron armor that covered the hull, it would begin to burn, and like the original flames, it could not be extinguished by any means.

Not long after, the Daehan, known as the strongest ironclad ship in history, also fell into a raging fire.

"It's a ghost fire, they're a monster! Run for your life. ”

The sailors of the Korean fleet were all the private soldiers of the powerful people, and their will to fight far exceeded that of the imperial court's sailors, but in this situation, they quickly lost their will to fight.

At such a time, the prestige of the nephew of the leader of the council, Lord Min, was useless, and the sailors threw down their weapons and handles, jumped into the sea like dumplings, and fled desperately around. They had only one thought in their hearts, even if they died in the belly of the fish, they would not stay in the ship where the ghost fire was burning.

"This is a tortoiseshell ship, it's an ironclad ship, not even Daming!" knew that the general trend had gone, but Min Shangdao was still very unwilling, he screamed frantically, but in the end he couldn't cry, "Obviously...... It's the strongest ...... in the world."

"My lord, let's run away, if we don't escape, we will ......" After all, the golden temperance envoy is a military attachΓ©, and he is a little more courageous than ordinary people, even if he knows that the defeat is decided, he still does not abandon his companions.

"No, there are still people fighting, and as a commander, how can I abandon them?" Min Shangdao raised his head abruptly and said righteously.

However, my lord ...... "If it was in the past, the golden temperance envoy would definitely have to flatter a few words, but at this time...... First, the situation is urgent, and there is no room for much to say, and secondly, the pirates have already begun to shout for surrender, and the actions of the remaining ships are ...... One by one, they stopped paddling, lowered their sails, and even many sailors threw their weapons into the sea, so it didn't look like they were going to continue fighting.

"Offended, sir." Jin Youshan's heart was horizontal, he jumped into the sea with Min Shangdao, and before entering the water, he also vaguely heard Min Shangdao's desperate cry, "I ...... I don't know how to water, help! ”

...... "It turns out that the naval battle was fought like this, no wonder Brother Xie said that the technical content is very high." Jiang Bin touched the back of his head and exclaimed loudly.

After more than a month, the head of the scar face is no longer so bare, Xie Hong specially helped him get a small flat head, with the scar on the face, it looks more like the bad elements of later generations.

"Brother Xie, what is that thing you and Brother Zeng came up with? Why are you so evil? It can't be extinguished with water. Maang's face turned a little pale.

He didn't take the thunderbolt very seriously, the power of this thing was too small, especially when he saw the banya ship, his mood plummeted, and he used the thunderbolt to smash the kind of ship like a castle on the sea? Even if it takes a year and a half, it may not be able to sink one, is it possible that it is planning to smash people directly?

Unexpectedly, after a round of test firing, all ships were replaced with the so-called secret weapon, and the power of this weapon was beyond Maang's imagination, a fire that could not be extinguished with water, this thing was simply invincible at sea!

No wonder Brother Zeng repeatedly told him to take care of it before leaving.

Thinking that there were still a lot of such things in the cabin, Ma Ang's heart was very bottomless, even such a large board house ship turned into a big torch in a blink of an eye, and if his own small boat burned, I was afraid that it would be too late to escape.

"This is called an incendiary bomb, and there is something called 'phosphorus' added to it......" Xie Hong smiled and explained: "The thunderbolt cannon is completely for this thing, so it does not require power, only accuracy and range, as long as it hits the target, it can exert its power, and it is the only weapon in naval warfare." ”

"Actually, it's nothing, the incendiary bomb is red phosphorus, not the more powerful white phosphorus, if that...... Hehe, but that thing can't be made yet, and it's not easy to preserve, so that's enough for now. ”

Refining white phosphorus requires a high temperature of 1,600 degrees, and today's blast furnaces really can't refine it, in fact, it's not necessary, as long as the fire can be lit and the water can't be extinguished, far from the power of white phosphorus.

"I see...... However, isn't it a little too dangerous to keep this thing on the ship all the time? Maang asked again.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you take good care of it, our strategy for the East China Sea depends on this thing, and it is safest to put it on the ship." Maintaining maneuver at high speed and then using incendiary bombs as a weapon to attack fortified positions is the overall idea of Xie Hong to build a flywheel warship and conduct naval warfare.

In terms of the current battle situation, this strategy is successful, looking at the eleven torches that are burning, Xie Hong nodded with satisfaction, such a result is not in vain for him to think about it for a while.

"I thought it was going to be a good kill, but it didn't help anything, and the naval battle was really boring." Seeing that he had won a big victory, Scarface, who hadn't even swung the knife, felt a little bored.

"Brother Jiang, didn't you take someone to step on the flywheel? That's been a big help, and if it weren't for your speed, you wouldn't be that fast. "Bringing Jiang Bin and them is mainly for the landing battle, but they also have a role to play in the naval battle.

Ordinary sailors' water surnames are stronger than Jiang Bin, but when it comes to strength, especially explosiveness, it is not on the same level at all. Jiang Bin and others stepped on the flywheel to drive the boat, and the speed of the explosion was even faster than usual.

"Brother Ma, shout and surrender, let those big ships turn around, march towards Qingshan Island, save people in small boats, and then follow...... Let's divide into two teams to escort, and if anyone doesn't obey orders, those torches are an example. ”

At this time, the Korean naval army had completely collapsed, and the sailors on the Itaya boat were desperately paddling their oars, but the direction was reversed, and they changed from chasing pirates to fleeing from pirates.

It's just that the speed of the ship is really not complimentary, and the sailors are not so much fleeing for their lives, but venting the fear in their hearts, staring at the flywheel warship patrolling around with a pair of eyes, and they are all ready to plan in their hearts, once the other party uses the ghost fire again, they will immediately throw down the oars and jump into the sea.

The sword ships in the fleet were also shocked, scattered and fled in all directions, and no longer had the courage to swarm up.

The slab house, which is known as the strongest in history, and the tortoiseshell ship that has gone to the next level, are all finished, so what can you do with these small sampans that you can control? It's still important to run for your life.

Under such circumstances, Xie Hong issued an order to surrender, and everyone in the North Korean fleet breathed a sigh of relief, meticulously carrying out the enemy's orders, and even many sailors made some extra moves, such as throwing weapons into the sea or something.

After announcing the order to surrender, Ma Ang turned his head to Xie Hong and asked, "What are you going to do on Qingshan Island?" Shouldn't we go back to Jeju Island? And, what is the purpose of taking these captives? Is it possible to transport it back to Lushun? ”

"Human resources are the most valuable, even if they are North Koreans, Brother Ma, just look at it, haha." The corners of Xie Hong's mouth twitched, revealing a mysterious smile, and he said as if he was not answering.
