Chapter 310: Scattered Like Birds and Beasts

"Your Excellency, you see, the Weihai Sea Master has fled north. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" shouted the captain of the Li Jing.

Li Hu was looking around at the reorganization of the entire fleet, and the fleet not only turned around and left, but also had to make a big circle within ten miles, turning the bow of the ship to attack again, so it was not so easy to regroup.

Li Hu heard the captain's shout, hurriedly turned around, raised the telescope and looked into the distance.

I saw that whether it was intact or tattered, the Weihai Division warship fled to the north desperately, running this neatly and unfettered, showing the demeanor of the Ming Army, how the Ming Army was defeated and escaped on the road, and it was repeated on the sea today.

Behind them were dozens of North Korean fireships, the North Korean soldiers watched in amazement as the Ming masters patted their butts and left, they were now naked and left on the sea, without the escort of the big warships, they had no force to defend themselves.

"My lord, don't chase them." The captain was also the old man of the Weihai Seaman, and asked on the side.

"What do you say?" Li Hu still carefully observed the enemy situation on the sea.

"Ahem, no matter what you say, it's also a Weihai Division," the captain didn't dare to say anything next, and many of the captains of the Broken Army Navy Division used to be Weihai Divisions, and there was always some incense.

"I can't chase them, it's not what you say, but if you deal with them, the North Korean sailors will run away. Ordered to attack the Korean naval division with all its might. Li Hu shook his head, the Zhao family he was loyal to had nothing to do with Weihai Master Mao.

What's more, he already knows about the old man returning to Shidao after he is sick, and how he will be merciful.

It's just that only by basically eliminating the North Korean sailors can the North Korean Lee's idea of recovering Jeju be completely extinguished. The main enemy at the moment is the North Koreans.

As for the Weihai Sea Master. It's just running back. Without the cooperation of the North Korean Naval Division, is it possible to help the war, impossible, the Ming Dynasty has already taken care of itself, otherwise at least it will be the Tianjin Naval Division, the Denglai Naval Division, and the Yangtze River Naval Division's tens of thousands of naval divisions and hundreds of warships.

"The drum and horn know all the ships, withdraw, and withdraw to the Lishui camp as soon as possible." Sun Zhengzai, who came to his senses, knew that this battle would definitely be lost. Because the escape of the Ming army crushed the fighting spirit, and the fireboat could not get close at all, and now it is a victory to be able to escape back to Lishui Dazhai, and the others will do what he does.

Sun Zhengzai's flagship issued a series of drums and trumpets and flags, and immediately began to turn the bow of the ship, really charging behind and retreating in front.

Sun Zhengjae's retreat order and the example he made made the North Korean sailors chaotic, and most of the warships began to turn around, flee, do not flee at this time. When the Mingren fleet turned the bow of the ship and returned, I don't know whose ship will suffer again.

The battlefield within a radius of ten miles was chaotic, and the Jeju sailors had just turned the bow of the ship and began to return. And the Korean sailors also began to turn around and rush north, and nothing else could be cared about, now it was a race, and those who stayed behind must be the first to suffer the first blow from the Akito.

Therefore, all the Korean warships used all their strength not to be left behind.

Of course, the dilapidated warship that had been attacked in the first round could only be dying, and slowly followed behind.

The saddest thing is the fire boat, these ships generally have small sails, they mainly rely on the sailors to paddle quickly close to the enemy ships, and then ignite the ship after impact, and the sailors jump into the water to escape, this is the meaning of their existence.

Now they are all running away, what should they do, they can paddle a few hundred steps, no matter how long it is, can it compare to the wind power of the sails, after the manpower is exhausted, they can only float on the water, so hundreds of fireboats are dragged by the dense sea behind them, which is spectacular.

Not all the Korean warships fled, and two ships rushed up against the current to the Breaker Naval Division.

Wen Quantai stood at the bow of the ship, his white hair fluttering in the wind, and he looked at the Ming warship in front of him without moving.

"My lord, let's go back to Lishui, Mrs. and Son-in-law are still able to go back." A middle-aged man on the side persuaded with tears.

"It is my duty to defend the land, I am the Lishui Sailor Temperance Envoy, the Sailor is defeated, what face do I have to go to see the monarch's father, Cui Dao, you don't need to persuade you, there is a small boat behind the boat, you jump into the water, go back and bring a letter to the lady and son, just say that the lord has made an oath before this trip, and he will not return, can he bring it." Moon Quantai looked at Cui Dao.

"Don't worry, sir, the little one will definitely bring the letter back." Cui Dao knelt down and bowed.

"Let's go." Moon Quantai waved his hand.

Cui Dao kowtowed, turned away, and jumped into the sea from the side side, which is not a matter as an old sailor.

Moon Quantai unsheathed his sword and held it in his hand.

He sighed in his heart, he said that he couldn't go back, if he guessed correctly, this defeat would definitely be blamed by Sun Jung-jae on him and the other Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province sailors, and the Seoul Navy Division was just a painless reprimand.

And as these two sailors were not clear before the war, the battle was not won, and the charges of fleeing from defeat would not be less, and if he went back, he would die and the clan would be wiped out, if he died in battle, the light would be extinguished, and the king would not pursue the Wen family, and he would also leave a way back for his descendants, so he could be regarded as a well-deserved death.

With a pop, Wen Quantai pulled out his long sword, "Brothers, you are all Wen's old subordinates, this time I will be defeated and retreat is a dead end, what is the crime of fleeing in battle, you also know that we would rather die in battle than let the family be disgraced, and dare not fight to the death with the enemy." ”

"Dare to fight." There were uneven responses all around, since ancient times, it was difficult to die, people are like this, they have reached this situation, and they also know that their most literate and Tai descendants are not good to go back, the best result is to go to the bitter cold north of the border, it is good to live for a few years, and the family is even demoted to official slaves.

Therefore, he shouted and did not make a sound, but the work in his hands was not relaxed, and the warship continued to face the Ming army and sailors, all of which were fighting.

Lan San was actually very depressed, the patrol ship was mainly to protect the role of the Sui, Tang and Han classes, the cannons were slightly smaller during the shelling, the number was also small, and the effect was poor, and the enemy was defeated and fled in a battle, and Lan San basically had nothing to do.

Just as the Xipu was pursuing at full speed, two North Korean warships rushed straight up, which made Lan San ecstatic, and his heart finally had some military merits in hand.

Lan San ordered the boatswain to be on the side of the ship, and the greatest power of the Jeju warship was artillery, and Lan San would of course make good use of it.

The two ships staggered, and the two sides began to bombard each other, and only three guns on Wen Quantai's side could bombard the Xipu, and the projectile was pitiful.

The XJTLU had ten guns that could be shelled, and in the roar, six of the cannons hit the other side, and the board of Wen Quantai's ship was shattered, and several large holes appeared on the side of the ship, but fortunately, there were not many people inside, and there were not many casualties.

The guns on Wen Quantai's ship only hit one shot, and there was nothing else except a muffled bang on the side of the ship.

However, Moon Quantai's ship did not have any love to fight, and continued to rush forward, driving straight to the Jeju warship behind.

Lan Sanyi's soul was scattered, and there was Li Jing behind him, which was the ship commanded by Li, he didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly ordered to turn around.

Wen Quantai didn't care about any shelling and mutual bombardment at this time, he had no chance of winning the shelling, only the life of being sunk, his plan was to resist the past, directly crash into the big ship behind, and then take over the gang to fight, and then kill the enemy more until he died.

Li Hu watched these two enemy ships attack against the current in a tide of defeat, and secretly praised in his heart, North Korea is not uninhabited, there was Yi Sunsin in the past, and today he is another general.

But there is no reason to be merciful to the enemy, otherwise it would be the turn of your own soldiers to suffer heavy casualties.

Li Hu ordered to kill the incoming enemy.

The Ma Yuan and Wei Yan beside Li Jing met the enemy in advance, and bombarded them with artillery at a distance of one mile, and there were more than 20 guns on the sides of these two ships, and nearly 10 of them were 36-pound Tiago guns.

These more than a dozen Tiago guns can be regarded as disemboweling Wen Quantai's ship, and the already tattered side side is basically not intact, and the three large holes in the side waterline began to enter a large amount of water.

Wen Quantai's ship tilted and stubbornly moved forward, but the mainsail was basically broken, the power was lost, and it was only inertia.

Half of Wen Quantai's body was stained red with blood, and his left rib was hit by a piece of wood.

Boom, the second bombardment came, and at this time even the XJTLU caught up with the bombardment with ten cannons on the side of the side, and most of the sixty guns hit, too close, and several large holes were opened in the waterline.

The ship could no longer hold any longer, and began to tilt and sink, and the ship full of sailors began to jump into the sea with all the movement of the sailors.

Moon Quantai locked the side of the ship with his belt and sank with the ship, disappearing into the sea.

Although Li Hu lamented that the North Korean sailors also had people who dared to fight, it was now the right thing to chase and kill the fleeing enemy.

The Jeju Navy Division divided into several routes and pursued the fleeing enemy.

Along the way, they first let go of the fireboat and went straight to the big war ship in pursuit.

After sinking several ships, they caught up with the tortoiseshell ship, which was due to its small sails and its heavy iron hull, which was too normal for them to fall behind.

Dozens of warships began to encircle and suppress these ten ironclad ships.

In the roar of the artillery, the tortoiseshell boat held on and fought back, he not only had iron armor to protect himself, but also the deck gun emplacements also had iron sheet protection, so his jack cannon was also constantly firing back.

But the Tang-class warship caught up, and after the thirty-six-pound and forty-eight-pounder Tiago cannon began to roar, the tortoiseshell ship could no longer withstand it, and the iron armor that had been deformed and broken by the blow had long been shattered.

An hour later, three tortoiseshell boats were sunk, and the rest of the tortoiseshell boats were forced to surrender.

However, the struggle of the tortoiseshell ships still bought time, and many Korean warships took the opportunity to scatter and flee north, and some fireships also scattered and fled.

The Battle of Montenegro ended, and more than 100 of the 20,000 Ming Korean coalition troops and 300 large and small warships returned to the Yeosu camp.

Sun Zhengzai fled back, Wen Quantai and Luo Tiehu were killed in battle, and more than 6,000 sailor soldiers were missing and killed in battle.

Jin Zidian, who was waiting for good news in the Lishui camp, saw the defeated army fleeing back in embarrassment, he was like falling into an ice cave, his heart was finished, such a big defeat, he must be the life of the superintendent, of course, the family is the family of the family, the king may not delve into it, but his reputation is ruined.

When he heard Sun Zhengzai crying that the Ming people took the lead in fleeing, causing the sailors to be furious after the rout, he was also secretly happy in his heart, he was finally saved, not the crime of war, this is the first flight of the soldiers and horses of the Celestial Empire to have this defeat, Jin Zidian is sure that he must have passed.
