The next day, the weather was good, the red sun rose early, dispelling the fog of the night, bringing the warmth of winter, but Mukai Tadashi felt that the morning sun was like blood, indicating the ups and downs of today's return journey. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He thought about it all night and there was no good means of counterattack, and the rocket oil was useless at a distance of nearly a mile, only the big cylinder could be attacked, but the power of the large cylinder of the shogunate sailor was too small, and there was no big result in hitting it, and the premise of the fireboat was close, and the Ming people would leave with a blow, to put it bluntly, they would not give you the opportunity to attack with a rocket fireboat.

I couldn't sleep well this night, so that Xiang Jing Zhongsheng's face was pale, his eyes were fierce, and he had to hit back as soon as possible.

The pain and humiliation of defeat tore Mukai's heart, because he became the first person in Japan to be defeated by the ancient empire of the West since the Tang Dynasty, humiliation.

Even when the fleet of the Yuan Dynasty went on a vigorous expedition to Japan, it did not get a bargain, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and it was not defeated by Japan, but the most powerful fleet he commanded in Japan today was defeated here, and he really had no shame.

Of course, the fact that the hurricane was the main cause of the destruction of the Yuan fleet was automatically omitted by him, and the Japanese people only remembered what they needed to remember, and ignored everything else.

Mukai did not delay, the shogunate navy and the general daimyo's navy immediately withdrew, Mukai Tadakatsu embodied the blood and dignity of a Japanese samurai, he personally led five ironclad ships mainly more than 20 Ataka ships to the back, the other warships have no longer care about the formation, are all sailing with the wind to the east, no one wants to stay behind and wait for death.

At this time, there were really thousands of battles near Iki Island, and the sea was covered with warships for dozens of miles, all of which were rushing to the east. The glory of a samurai and the wrath of a general are all floating clouds. It's true that I was able to escape back to Japan.

When Zhao Lie led the fleet to cut in from the north. Seeing this situation, even when the Galen battleship attacked, many of the ships and Xiaozao did not resist, but just buried their heads to the east. The Breaker Army's naval division swept away all enemy ships in front of it.

The cannons of the ships of the Broken Army roared constantly, bombarding the enemy ships as if they were practicing target shooting, and it was easy and risk-free.

In the morning, dozens of warships were sunk in the strait, and the sea was full of broken planks and debris and the corpses of the Japanese navy. As the waves drift, a large number of sharks are attracted to enjoy this rare feast, a scene of the end of the world.

Xiang Jing Zhongsheng, who was in the rear formation, heard the constant roar of artillery in front, and knew that the slippery Ming army was sneaking in front again, but he had no choice, the speed of the house ship just couldn't be increased, and the speed of a few knots was really fatal.

Originally, the boats were heavy and large, usually forty paces long. Three or four decks, the mainsail is smaller than the hull. The duration of human paddling is too short, in short, it is not a ship suitable for long-distance voyages, just as the carthaginian oaring ocean-going ships are suitable for the large bathtub of the Mediterranean, and the Ataka and Seki ships are suitable for small baths such as the Seto Inland Sea.

When the dense formation of more than 20 Ataka ships arrived, they saw the miserable scene of the end again, and Mukai Tadashi was already numb.

He sat on the upper deck and watched as a closed ship slowly sank into the sea, all the crew on board jumped into the sea and swam to other ships, and some of the injured crew members cried and sank with the ship, and the blood slowly drifted away.

All this happened less than 100 meters in front of Xiangjing's eyes. However, Mukai's ship could no longer save people, and the sailors who had been rescued in the morning had filled the cabin deck of the ship, and more than 20 Ataku ships could only sail east regardless of it.

In the middle of the afternoon, the huge sails behind them began to appear, and all the sailors in the fleet fell silent, and Mukai Tadashi saw one after another gray-black devil ships appear in the camera with a telescope, and the fleet of the Akito came.

It's time to think about it, the largest fleet left in Japan in this sea area is under his own command, at this time, the Ataka ships are no longer escorted by the fireboat fleet, and they have long since escaped.

Xiangjing Zhongsheng had no idea of escaping at this time, the speed of the ship was too far apart, and now the north wind was blowing, and the Ming fleet in the rear was full of sails and pursued at twice the speed of the Xiangjing fleet, and it was impossible to escape.

Hou Junji rode the wind and waves to the shogunate sailors in the south, Gao Shuicheng held the side of the ship and visually measured the distance between the two sides, well, it took a stick of incense to engage in the battle.

Gao Shui Castle turned his head to look at the various wrecks of the Japanese Invaders that covered the sea, and the bloodthirsty pleasure welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of his father's death without a place to bury, and the family was in a difficult situation because of it.

The pension silver of a few taels of silver issued by the imperial court can't withstand a few months at all, after all, a family of six or seven people has to eat, and life is hard at that time, only two or three months a year can eat serious food, and the rest is bran to deal with wild vegetables and weeds.

finally survived to adulthood, entered the military, and was favored by Lord Zhao and became a confidant, which gradually improved the family situation, but the youngest sister still starved to death in the most difficult days.

When I think of this, Gaoshui City is a big fire.

The corpses floating everywhere in front of him may frighten others, but he has only infinite pleasure.

"Lord Gao, the battle is about to begin, do you want to enter the lower deck." The Elder Sailor immediately asked.

After all, the lower deck is much safer, needless to say, the Broken Army Naval Division also stipulates that during artillery battles, the captain goes down to the lower deck and observes the command with the porthole, so as to prevent the captain from being killed and the dragons without a leader, and the deck is handed over to the boatswain.

"No need, old horse, the deck will be handed over to you, Ben will not care, but today Ben will be here watching how the ship's cannon crushes Jiannu. I will receive my sins in the future. Gao Shuicheng shook his head, and he straightened his waist firmly.

Lao Ma didn't persuade again, as the old man of Weihai Master, he knew the origin of Gaoshui City, and it was useless to persuade him.

After the meal, the opponent's fleet approached two miles, and ordered the well to open a large barrel, dozens of twelve-pounder guns and eighteen-pounder cannons, as well as Japanese-made large cannons, and the projectiles fired flew towards the Ming fleet.

The first three smaller warships, the Peng Yue, were each shot in a few places. The projectile hit the ship's board with a thumping sound. One of the mainmasts of the Feng Yi was shattered. The ladder and mast sailed tilted, the ship's speed immediately dropped, and the course turned at an angle of ninety degrees, and Feng Yi took advantage of this to withdraw from the battle.

Before approaching within a mile, the shogunate sailors fired another salvo, and the sails on the Peng Yue and Zhou Yafu were damaged, and the side of the Zhou Yafu was broken by a projectile from an eighteen-pounder gun, and one gun crew was killed or wounded.

Then. The shelling of the two warships began, a total of 20 cannons on the side of the two ships opened fire, and most of the nearly 10 Thiago guns hit, except for one ironclad house ship that was hit with a big dent, the middle deck of the other two ships was immediately shattered, and three projectiles each raged through, opening up three bloody paths.

Then the Ataka ship and the subsequent Galen ship began to bombard each other with heavy artillery, and the sound of cannon shook the strait for a while. Smoke rises one after another.

Qian Er lit the arquebus, and the forty-eight-pound Tiago cannon in front of him trembled and spewed projectiles and smoke. The sports car retreated and unloaded, and Qian Er did not see the huge damage caused by Tiago's cannon on the enemy ship more than 300 meters away.

missed, just as he was about to retract his gaze, a huge hole appeared on the opponent's upper deck, and other artillery crews hit, and the crowd of people on the upper deck was thrown into the air in a strange shape, and a large cylinder was knocked out of the deck, the mainmast was crooked, and the sunflower family pattern was flying.

At this time, Qian Er heard the sound of banging on the cabin, fortunately, the five-hundred-ton battleship was used for the decisive battle with the Dutch and Franco-man's fleet in the future, the ship's board was heavy, and the eighteen-pound projectile did not cause major damage except for leaving deep marks on the outside and puffs of smoke and dust in the cabin.

The twenty left gun crews on the deck were all reloading their guns in order, and then another roar rang out.

Zhang Huan and two other sailors climbed the net ladder to sort out the sail that was broken by the Japanese cannon, Zhang Huan cursed the Japanese while climbing, but the sail was broken, the sail was the farthest from the deck, and the repair was the most troublesome, after reaching the top, Zhang Huan found that the upper mast of the upper sail was broken and needed to be replaced.

Zhang Huan ordered the other two sailors to go down and bring a part of the upper mast to be replaced, and he waited on the net ladder to disassemble the upper mast, and removed the upper mast, the upper mast fell to the deck in a careful sound, and Zhang Huan looked around at his leisure.

I saw that the Wei Qing continued to walk in the middle of the queue, the lower gun deck continued to spew smoke, the ships continued to shake due to the bombardment of the artillery, and several Ataka ships on the east side broke apart when they boarded.

Zhang Huan looked at the scenery very much, Zhang Huan felt that he was very adaptable to the current life, the excitement was intense, sometimes the heart was beating, especially when repairing the damage during the war, and sometimes he saw that he was very relieved and enjoyable when he hit the enemy.

At this time, the two sailors climbed the net ladder with the upper mast that was not too long and too heavy, Zhang Huan took a look at it, and a few meters would be sent up, and suddenly, a sailor was instantly knocked away by a projectile, and the flesh and blood sprayed were splashed everywhere, and even splashed on Zhang Huan's legs.

The sailor fell a few meters, reached out and grabbed the ladder next to him, and his body stopped falling, and he found that his face was sticky, and he wiped it with his hand to see that it was the blood of the sailor who was knocked away, which made him almost vomit at a height of twenty meters.

Zhang Huan watched as the body of the sailor who had been smashed and fell into the sea slowly fell behind the ship, this was not the only death he had ever seen, but this was the most tragic one.

With a whoosh, a scorching projectile flew in front of Gao Shuicheng less than two steps, blowing on his face with a hot pain, Gao Shuicheng didn't blink his eyes, he didn't move at all.

"Tell the artillery deck that the firing is neat, it's already a little scattered." He turned to one of the guards.

The guards hurried off the deck and went.

Wei Qing was also hit many times, and Zhao Lie's guards were nervously wearing armor and shields under the leadership of Zhao Da and Yu Dabao to protect Zhao Lie's side.

Zhao Lie is full body armor at this time is mainly to prevent the killing of wooden plank fragments, as for the intrusion of heavy artillery projectiles is resigned to fate, if the projectiles hit directly, the iron shields and armor of the surrounding guards are floating clouds, which will not play a role at all.

Of course, Zhao Lie was not born with thick nerves, and he was also tied up in the first naval battle, but after a long time, he also figured it out, and it was useless to be frightened and frightened.

Besides, the Japanese did not have more than 24-pound guns, and the reinforced bow compartment of the Weiqing should be fine.

After nearly an hour of firefighting, the Galen fleet could only stop dissipating heat for more than half an hour in the face of the hot guns on the side of the Ataka ship, and the Galen fleet began to turn the bow of the ship, intending to meet the enemy with the guns on the other side.

At this time, there were only about ten complete Ataka ships on the sea, and the other dozen or so Ataka ships either began to sink or were damaged and paralyzed on the sea.

The five ironclad houses were damaged in many places, and there was even a projectile embedded in the ironclad oar, but there was no major incident, but half of the heavy guns on the upper deck were destroyed.

Xiang Jing Zhongsheng looked at the Ming fleet with a gloomy face, he knew that he would definitely not be able to withstand the next attack, and the ironclad oars were also penetrated in many places when they encountered the enemy's heavy artillery, but it was not like other Ataku ships were demolished, but it was only a matter of time sooner or later.

The sea was covered with corpses and sailors who were still swimming, and they would die of hypothermia after hundreds of breaths at this low temperature, but this time no one really cared about them, so they had to fend for themselves.

Xiang Jing has been in battle for a long time and is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die so aggrieved, but it seems that there is no way.

Mukai Tadakatsu sorted out the black feet on his body, and ordered the entire ship to fight to the death, planning to enter the Hirapo as a whole.

The shogunate sailors watched the black fleet of the Ming army move their sails from afar, and their hearts were full of fear, and the corpses on the sea were the next ending, but the pride established by the shogunate for more than 20 years made them not surrender, but just silently waited for their end.

At the end of the meal, the black shadow of the ship turned around and came back at full speed in the wind, with the fearlessness and pride of the victor.

At this moment, the wind was blowing and the rain was pouring down, which really made the situation worse, and the uncovered artillery of the shogunate could not be used.

The Ming army's forward battleships fired their cannons, and the naval guns of several battleships instantly demolished the two Ataku ships, and the shogunate's naval forces counterattacked very little, and most of the artillery was silent.

Next, the two ironclad Anzhai ships were broken, and the power of the forty-eight-pound Tiago guns was not something that could be stopped by a thin iron plate, and more than ten Tiago guns of several Tang-class battleships in advance were powerful.

The flotilla moved forward, and the ship to the well was hit by two projectiles, one of which shattered in, causing heavy casualties on the middle deck.

Then a cannonball swept across the upper deck and hit the edge of the cabin, scattering fragments of wood into his left arm and right leg, each with a piece of wood inserted into it.

Just as Mukai closed his eyes and waited for death, the heavy rain turned into rain and fog, and there was no trace within a hundred steps, the battle between the two sides stopped, and the Galen fleet immediately lowered its sails, and it was no joke if two giant ships collided.

On the contrary, the few remaining Ataka ships of the shogunate navy rode eastward regardless of the strong wind, and any collision and collision were floating clouds, and it was true that they escaped from the ascension genius.

Mukai Tadakatsu trembled and knelt down to thank the true god of Hachiman, and he swore hoarsely that he would avenge this if he survived. (To be continued.) )
