Chapter 050: Madness
(Thank you Lily Shan, not the memory of memory, the reward of the two classmates!) Keep asking for tickets! )
The sudden shelling destroyed two warships in the blink of an eye, and the Japanese were stunned at once. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
They had already spotted the boat on the other side, but they could not have imagined that the artillery fire on that boat would be so fierce and the range would be so far.
Sasuke Aso, a retainer of the Tokugawa family who led the team, was standing on the flagship, looking at the Black Wind Island in the distance, and was shocked when he saw this.
"What's going on?"
An attendant replied: "My lord, it seems that the bandits are shelling our fleet!" ”
"Shelling!"
Sasuke Aso pulled out the long knife at his waist and slashed forward: "Eight squares!" Advance! Burn the wind! ”
The information is wrong!
Didn't those who fled back say that the artillery on the enemy ships was only a few miles? However, it is still more than ten miles away from the enemy ship!
Only by approaching the enemy ship as soon as possible will they be able to carry out the predetermined plan, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
More than 20 warships of the Japanese Kingdom, riding the wind and waves, swept mighty on the sea, and the momentum was like a rainbow, rushing towards Black Wind Island.
Zhuo Shijie stood on the Cherry, and when he saw the Japanese people rushing straight over without fear of death, he couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, there is a bushido spirit that is not afraid of death, well, very brave and idiotic!" Since you are bent on death, I certainly don't mind fulfilling you. ”
"Keep attacking! I want to see if you are really not afraid of death, or if you are not afraid of death! ”
The 100-mm guns on the Cherry, and the 130-mm guns on the Black Wind Island, again began shelling.
One shell after another, accurately fell into the group of Japanese ships.
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"
A series of cannons rang out, and several warships in the front of the Japanese state were hit by shells one after another, and the Japanese crew on board suffered countless casualties and wailed again and again.
In this round of shelling, at least four Japanese warships were completely damaged, and two of them were almost completely scattered, and their hulls were crooked and sinking rapidly.
"Damn it! Hell in the day! How can this gang of pirates have such powerful artillery! Before his fleet even touched the other party's hair, it had already lost several warships, how could this battle be fought?
Sasuke Aso felt a wave of weakness.
Their original tactics were specially formulated on the basis of existing intelligence, and they aimed at the enemy's artillery with a range of only a few miles, but now, the enemy's artillery range has reached a terrifying ten miles!
"Rush! Rush forward! Keep going full speed ahead! Aso's roar at this time was already a little lacking in confidence.
In fact, the dozen or so warships that served as the vanguard of the fleet were responsible for consuming the enemy's ammunition, that is, the so-called cannon fodder that first resisted the first round of shelling.
In this battle, the Tokugawa shogun was bound to win, and even if he lost some of his ships, he would take back the lost gold and silver.
That's why they formulated a crushing victory with a broken tail.
The most combat-effective part of their fleet was Aso Sasuke's Chinese army, and several warships behind His Palace, and those warships also carried fifty of their most lethal samurai.
In the naval battles of this era, sometimes artillery does not necessarily play a decisive role in a war, and most of the time, it is necessary to fight broadside battles to determine the winner.
As long as their fleet can get close to the opposing ships, then the battle is basically over.
The warriors of the Japanese kingdom are invincible in the world, looking at the four seas, who can have the strength to fight with them?
At this time, Aso Sasuke only hoped that the opponent's shells would be exhausted as soon as possible, in his opinion, the opponent's intensive shelling would not last, even if they had endless shells, I was afraid that their artillery would not be able to withstand such a high frequency of shelling.
"But why are their shells so powerful?" Aso wanted to break his head, but he couldn't think of a reason.
The Japanese were not frogs at the bottom of a well, they had done business with the Spaniards in recent years, they had seen powerful Spanish warships, and they had also purchased many artillery pieces from the Spaniards, so they thought they knew a lot about artillery.
Whether it was the Spaniards or the Dutch, the guns on their battleships could fight two or three miles at best, and the hit rate was not high.
However, it was clear that the pirates on the other side had more artillery than the two military powers, Spain and the Netherlands.
The situation was too critical for Aso to think too much, and he only wanted to get his fleet close to the enemy ships as soon as possible, and then implement their battle plan.
Zhuo Shijie on the Cherry saw that the Japanese people were still rushing forward, knowing that these Japanese people had not been really scared, which was exactly what he wanted.
"Keep beating them up!"
One shell after another flew towards the Japanese fleet, and in the Japanese fleet, several warships were beaten to the point of flying with wood and flesh, and the smoke was the same color as the sea and the sky.
The Japanese fleet, which came with the belief of victory, has lost nearly half of its warships in just a snap of a finger!
At this time, Lord Aso has been shaken, not to mention shaken, he is already frightened.
"Eight squares! Hachiga......" Aso Sasuke cursed uncontrollably.
The attendant next to him craned his neck and asked, "My lord, look, should we ......?"
Sasuke Aso flicked his arm and slapped the attendant in the face.
"Eight squares! You coward! What are you doing with your neck curled? Afraid of a cannonball smashing your head! ”
The entourage was beaten to the point of foaming at the mouth, but he didn't even dare to snort.
Sasuke Aso yelled, "Forward!" Advance! Advance!!! ”
He really didn't believe it, the artillery on the opposite side could really keep fighting, they had to have a time to stop!
At that point, he's going to lead the rest of his ships and level the Isle of Blackwind and kill all the damned pirates, and he's going to skin them all, and he's going to chop them all into sauce and feed them to the dogs!
Just as he was being ruthless in his heart, suddenly, two more shells struck, and a warship not far from his flagship was shot and caught fire again, and the crew of the ship shouted and scrambled for their lives on the deck, and jumped into the sea.
Aso Sasuke looked at this desperate sight and felt a tingling in his scalp.
At this time, almost all the warships in front of his flagship were hit, then, next, it will soon be his turn to be the flagship.
With a trembling hand, Aso wiped his big fat face with sweat, clenched his teeth, his face turned blue and white, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Directly ahead, the enemy ship, still intact, was rapidly approaching his fleet.
Sasuke Aso was about to be mad, and he roared at the sky: "It's not fair! I hate! I hate it! It's so unfair! What I need is a fair fight! Fair fight! ”
At this time, Aso, like a man with a big knife in his hand, faced with the archers on the city wall several feet high, with brute force, but he could only shout weakly, and he couldn't do anything.
