"General, the fleet of the Japanese is less than fifty miles away from us, and all the ships are ready, is it time to go to sea to meet the enemy?" On the huge handsome ship, Zhu Chong asked Lu Qing with an excited face. Behind them, there were rows of Datang warships that had already been prepared, and the mighty soldiers on the deck were full of spirit, ready to avoid the shame of war before the snow.

"What's the hurry, wait a little longer!" Lu Qing squinted his eyes and smiled, the fleet sent out to harass the Japanese people before has returned, and it has deliberately attracted the other party to this sea area, the reason why he chose to do the battlefield here is also exquisite, mainly because the sea here is wide, and the sea water is deep, there are not so many reefs, which is more conducive to the operation of these big warships, and the wind direction here today is blowing from behind, which is just conducive to the acceleration of their warships.

"General, it's thirty miles!" Nearly an hour later, Zhu Chong, who got the news, spoke again uncontrollably.

"Wait!" Lu Qing was still unmoved, but Zhu Chong was anxious and his head was full of sweat.

"General, it's been twenty miles, we can't wait any longer!" Zhu Chong, who was irritable, waited for a while, and jumped into self-motivation again when he received the news.

"The whole army obeys the order, hoist the sails and speed up!"

With Lu Qing's order, the flag-bearer on the handsome ship immediately conveyed the order, and in the blink of an eye, all the warships sounded a burst of slogans, and the heavy iron anchors and hard sails also slowly rose, with the sea breeze blowing behind them, the entire fleet began to slowly accelerate forward, and when the Japanese fleet in the distance appeared in the telescope of Lu Qing's siblings, the speed of the entire fleet also reached the highest value.

When the Japanese navy on the opposite side saw the oncoming Tang Navy, the whole country also burst into cheers. During this time, they were harassed by the small fleet of the Tang Army, and they were desperately looking for the main force of the Tang Army. In order to vent the anger in his heart, now the group of cowards of Tang Jun is finally no longer hiding. It's time to fight them.

It's just that the excitement of the Wa Kingdom did not last long, when the two huge fleets were only two or three hundred steps apart, the Wa suddenly found that the warship they were riding on was compared with the other party's warship, it was simply the gap between the giant and the dwarf, and the speed of this giant was still above them, and each ship was like an iceberg moving fast on the sea, splitting the waves and crashing towards them.

"Whoosh~" With a series of breaking winds, black lightning flew out from the Tang Army warship. It was the bed crossbow on the ship, and the crossbow arrows with thick arms were shot on the thin boat of the Japanese people, and almost one arrow could shoot out the two holes in the front and back, so just this round of arrow rain, dozens of small warships of the Japanese country were shot through, and the unlucky ones were shot below the waterline, and as a result, there was an immediate influx of seawater, which made the Japanese people on the ship shout for a while.

The power of the bed crossbow is good, but it has a drawback. That is, the upper arrow is too slow, and once the arrow is shot, it will take a while to shoot the second arrow, although Li Su has already made some improvements to the bed crossbow. For example, the oil tanker group is used to save the effort when winding, but the speed is still not fast, and it is generally possible to shoot one in a minute. The most skilled crossbowmen can maintain the speed of two arrows a minute.

But even so, the bed crossbow also made the Wa people on the opposite side suffer. Lightning-fast bolts of crossbow arrows came from above, but few of the ships that were hit by the arrows sank. But the damage is very great, and the speed is also greatly affected, if there is an unlucky soldier who is shot by this kind of crossbow arrow, it can only be blamed for his too many sins in his previous life, and he has not even been able to fall a whole corpse in this life.

As the two fleets approached, the small boats of the Japanese could finally fight back, their ships were too small, there were no weapons on them at all, only the bows and arrows in their hands and the small trebuchets on the ships were available, but it was a pity that whether it was bows and arrows or heavy objects thrown, at most they could only kill and injure a few unlucky Tang soldiers, and the damage to the hull was negligible.

However, there is another weapon that has a considerable deterrent to large ships, and that is rockets, but the range of this kind of arrow is very short, and it can only be shot when two ships are quite close together.

For the Japanese people's counterattack, Datang's warships are naturally not to be outdone, in addition to the bed crossbow on the ship, catapults, rockets and other weapons take turns to attack, Datang's rockets are not the kind of rockets fired with bows and arrows, but the gunpowder weapons made by Li Su, although the accuracy of this rocket is not good, but the black pressure in front of it is all Japanese warships, even if it is Meng, it can be covered.

When the boulder thrown by the Tang army fell on the Japanese fleet, it once again caused a piece of screaming, countless Japanese warships were smashed, and the soldiers who fell into the water were desperately swimming to the nearby warships, hoping to escape with their lives. However, if it was hit by a rocket, there was immediately a violent explosion, not only the ship was blown to pieces, but the soldiers on board could not escape, and the explosion would also cause a fire, so after a while, a cloud of black smoke rose from the fleet of the Japanese state.

"Boom~"

With a loud bang, the Tang warship that rushed to the front finally collided with the small warship of the Wa Kingdom, but unfortunately this kind of collision that is not in a heavyweight class has no suspense, the Datang warship is a lucky ship, and the high bow of the ship pressed the opponent's ship under him in the blink of an eye, and the whole ship was pressed by the hard keel.

The ship is big, the speed is fast, and the kinetic energy is naturally greater, and a small ship can't stop this huge warship at all, so after crashing a warship, it immediately rushed into the fleet of the Japanese people without slowing down, looking like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, as long as the warship in its way, all of them can't escape the fate of crashing.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

On the handsome ship, Zhu Chong commanded the archers around him, and kept shooting down a rain of arrows, their hull was tall, and there were four floors, standing on it and shooting arrows condescendingly, naturally taking advantage of it, in addition, there was a female wall around them, and it was not easy for the Japanese people below to shoot them.

"Whoosh~" Arrows with Mars also shot out from the Japanese boats, and Zhu Chong's handsome boats also hit some, but there were already prepared soldiers carrying sand, soil and sea water to extinguish the fire. Their hulls were tall, and the wood on the ships was of the kind of solid wood that was chosen to burn it, and it was not so easy to burn it.

Naval warfare is a technical job, the number does not have much advantage here, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, the competition is the performance of all aspects of the warship, only when the performance of the two ships is about the same, the most common gang jumping battle will occur, but it is a pity that the warships of the Wa Kingdom and the warships of the Tang Dynasty are too different, and it is not easy to climb up and fight with the Tang Army.

It is precisely because of this that the numerical advantage of the Japanese Kingdom cannot be brought into play here at all, and when they were rushed by Lu Qing's giant warship, the entire fleet immediately became scattered, and even many warships were completely sunk, and there were not a few injured. However, the speed of the sail battleship depends on the wind and animal power, and it is blocked by so many warships of the Japanese Kingdom in front, and when the strength is exhausted, Lu Qing and their warships are only half of the total, and the speed decreases.

However, the Tang soldiers did not panic in the slightest, and with the orders of the generals on each ship, some soldiers immediately carried out boxes of things from the heavily protected cabins, and opened the lids of the boxes, revealing boxes of grenades and mortar shells. These are the killer features of the Tang Army, which are suitable for this chaotic time.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~"

As the Tang army threw the ignited grenade onto the nearby Japanese warship, one after another explosions sounded again, and it was countless times denser than the rocket just now, although the lethality of the grenade was much smaller, but this thing was very flexible, and the soldiers also threw it on the deck where the Japanese soldiers gathered, and as a result, pieces of flesh and blood were blown up, and the scene was countless times bloodier than before.

Although the Japanese had seen the power of rockets just now, they were only a minority after all, and now they saw grenades raining down from the top of their heads, and the first explosion took several lives, and the injured were even more fearful.

The Japanese army, which had received the baptism of hot weapons for the first time, finally understood that although the number of their side was several times that of the other side, they did not have any advantage at all in the face of the well-equipped Tang army, and it could even be said that they were in a position of being slaughtered at all, and it was difficult to do even the strength to resist at all.

Seeing the companions around them being bombed beyond recognition, a chill surged in the hearts of all the Japanese people, and the movements in their hands slowed down, and at the same time there was a desire to escape from this battlefield immediately.

With the advantage of gunpowder weapon manufacturing, the naval warships of the Tang Dynasty were even more unscrupulous, and soon more than 1,000 warships of the Japanese people had already shown a kind of defeat. Seeing this situation, the experienced Lu Qing immediately ordered that a reserve team left in the rear was also transferred, and the addition of this new force became the last straw that crushed the camel, and the formation of the Japanese fleet could no longer be maintained, all the ships were like headless flies, and even some Japanese people saw that the situation was not good, and they were ready to escape.

Seeing that the defeat of the Japanese was decided, the Datang Navy was even more excited, and the offensive was more fierce, and the fleet chasing the Japanese was a fierce killing, the blood stained the entire sea area red, and the fire ignited by the wreckage of the ship illuminated the entire sky.

In the battle of the Tsushima Strait, the 50,000 Japanese naval army was almost wiped out, and those who escaped were also chased and killed by the Tang Navy, and in the end there were basically no ten who could return to the Japanese Kingdom, and the Tang Navy also paid the price of more than 30 warships being destroyed and thousands of soldiers killed, although the price was very heavy, but it was worth it to achieve such a perfect result.

When the news of the Battle of Tsushima reached the ears of Li Su in Jincheng, he was worried about the outcome of the naval battle, and he roared loudly with excitement: "The hands and feet of the Japanese country have been broken, and I will take it soon!" (To be continued.) )
