The Li Jing was just one mile behind the twenty avant-garde patrol ships, and the reason why Li Hu was so close to the front line was for the convenience of commanding the fleet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Nowadays, the command of the fleet depends on the drum, trumpet, and flag, but if the commander of the fleet does not know the situation in front of the battle, what kind of command can he talk about.

Li Hu saw the enemy's formation in the telescope, and couldn't help sighing, this North Korean naval division can be regarded as a kind, and it really puts on a decisive battle posture, and the big ship is in front of it.

Li Hu did not interfere in the operation of the fleet, and the fleet continued to move forward.

He just stood on the deck and looked at this huge fleet of more than 100 warships, and a sense of pride and ambition came to his heart.

How did he Li Hu go from a small escort to the commander of more than 100 warships and nearly 20,000 sailors?

Without him, just with the right person, it is precisely because of the heroic figure who dares to think and dare to do such a second son that he and the captains are today, and now that Lord Zhao Lie is not in Jeju, he Li Hu is going to show the adults with a big victory that he has not and will not live up to the expectations of the adults.

The two fleets were getting closer and closer, and now they were within three miles.

At this time, Li Hong on the right wing completely saw this Ming force, good guy, what forty or fifty Xiyi warships, how did the special investigation report be carried out, I won't check the number, there are dozens of special ships that are only twice the size of his ship, and there are dozens of warships about the same size as his ship, Li Hong was cold at this time, and he had a premonition that it was going to be over.

Not only Li Hong alone, but other Korean generals were also shocked by the huge Jeju naval division, but it was impossible to retreat from the battle at this time, and the only way to fight was to fight in front of the battle to see if the fireships in the rear had a chance to defeat the enemy. As for the defeat of the ships ahead. That's a joke.

Sun Zhengzai, who was in the middle of the battle, blushed. He didn't expect that the situation was not only as dangerous as Wen Quantai said, but also extremely dangerous, only to see dozens of large Xiyi warships towering like hills, this battle would undoubtedly be defeated, he suspected that the warships in front of him might be defeated in a battle.

He eagerly used drums and trumpets to urge the fireboat fleet behind him to advance, and it didn't take any clever mind to figure out that the key to the defeat of the Korean sailors in this battle was the sudden insertion of the fireboat fleet.

And the only hope of success is that before the ships in front of them are defeated, the fireships join the battle. Taking advantage of the chaos and arson, the fireboat fleet is as slow as it is now, and it will be too late for anything.

When he was busy, the drums and trumpets of the Ming army in the distance sounded in unison, and he saw that the fleet of the Ming army began to change formations.

The patrol fleet in front of the Ming army was divided into two and outflanked the left and right of the Korean naval division, while the huge warships behind followed and marched separately.

The generals of the North Korean army are already confused, this is how to fight, and water warfare has always been a big ship eating a small boat. The confrontation between the two armies was nothing more than mutual shelling, engaging in broadside battles, and fire attacks, but how to get close to the front and shell and attack. What kind of tactics is this?

Sun Zhengzai had forgotten to command the fleet, he just watched stupidly, besides, he couldn't change the formation, could it be divided into two parts like the Ming army.

The calm was soon broken, as the Ming warships approached within two miles.

At this moment, both sides began shelling almost simultaneously.

The porthole on one side of the warship of the Broken Army Navy Division opened, and the cannon spewed out a large puff of smoke and projectiles, and the projectiles rushed towards the Korean warship with a whistling sound in the rumbling sound.

Almost at the same time, the artillery on the Korean warships roared, although each of their ships could only be bombarded by four or five cannons at this distance, and only a few in front, but they also had to be bombarded, and no one wanted to just be beaten.

Several North Korean warships raised large puffs of smoke, their planks cracked in many places, and some mainmasts were torn apart and left in disarray.

The shelling of the Korean warships also achieved results, and some of the warships of the Broken Army Sailors were also hit by projectiles and sent smoke and dust, but the destructive power of the thousand-pound Franc machine to the thick planks of the Galen ship was really limited, except for the broken sails and sails that made the Jeju sailors embarrassed, the rest was to leave some deep bullet marks on the side of the ship.

As the two fleets continued to approach, the captain of the Li Jing issued a warning and asked the commander Li Hu to enter the lower deck to hide, Li Hu could only reluctantly obey his orders, which was stipulated by the Navy Division of the Broken Army, and he could only obey this command.

Blue Three's Xipu had just finished a bombardment, and the ship's side and rear Shi Wansui came up, opening all the portholes, and then let out a full roar, and the ten long-barreled cannons and ten Tiago guns on the side of the ship spewed a large puff of smoke.

In Lan San's opinion, it was a small volcanic eruption, violent and awe-inspiring.

At this time, more than 40 Sui-class and Tang-class warships in the east and west directions had reached the shelling position, and suddenly more than 20 small volcanoes in front erupted, and four or five hundred artillery pieces rang out one after another within a few dozen breaths.

The smoke from the burning of the propellant temporarily covered the entire sea surface, and many projectiles that did not hit hit the sea surface knocked out a large column of water, which was quite spectacular.

Some of the projectiles plunged headlong into the side of the North Korean warship with a whistling sound, making a huge cracking sound, and the broken planks drifted away like flowers, bringing death to the North Korean soldiers, many soldiers were hit by the rain of wood chips, howling for their lives, and the scene was bloody.

Moon Quantai looked at the several warships on the two wings of Gyeongsang Road as if they had been dismantled, there were holes everywhere, and even some human bodies were hit and fell into the sea.

His boat was in the middle and survived, and Moon Quantai did not rejoice, because it was a matter of time or time.

The two sailors gritted their teeth and persevered, waiting for the fireboat fleet to enter the battle.

The Jeju Naval Division continued along the left and right flanks of the Korean Naval Division, and the twenty battleships behind came up and opened fire, almost completely destroying several Korean warships on the outer edge, and the side of each ship was full of holes, the mainmast and mainsail were shattered, and they almost stopped at sea and drifted with the current, and seawater began to seep into the ship from the rupture.

And almost all the artillery on the Korean warships was destroyed, and there was no way to talk about a counterattack.

The left and right sides of the North Korean fleet formation were cut in large pieces.

The Jeju fleet continued fearlessly to the north.

Li Hong is already about not to be scared of peeing, when did the Weihai Navy Division experience such a bloody and cruel battle formation, the Jiannu Water Division is simply a decoration, and the Liaodong Water Division in the Dongjiang River is the transport brigade, transporting soldiers with grain and grass, and then fighting pirates.

Today, the scene of thousands of cannons firing in unison shook the universe and completely shattered their fighting spirit.

When the Jeju Naval Division's forward arrived close, more than a dozen Weihai Division warships on the side couldn't wait to open fire, and the roar of more than a dozen Hongyi cannons and fifty or sixty jack furlong machines was also spectacular.

As for the effect, only God knows, a quarter of the guns hit the target at a distance of one mile, but the projectiles of the thousand-pound Franc machine were more like tickles, and the nine-pound and twelve-pound Hongyi cannons only left deep bullet marks on the side of the opposing ship.

Only a few broken sail rigging indicate their success.

At this time, the warships of the Jeju Navy Division continued to fire, and the results of this battle were the same as those of the Fangcai, and the warships of the Weihai Division proved to be only made of wooden planks, and under the bombardment of hundreds of guns, half of the projectiles hit these dozen warships, opening countless holes like open cans, and the armor and personnel suffered heavy losses.

Li Hong watched all this in horror on the inside, how to fight this battle, the rocket oil on the ship was not enough at all, and the cannon was not enough to tickle.

Is this what he is doing, all his hopes now are pinned on the body of the fireship that will catch up immediately.

The bombardment on the left flank of the Jeju Navy encountered some problems, as they encountered tortoiseshell boats, which were bulky ships wrapped in thin pieces of iron that blocked the impact of many projectiles, and although some of the projectiles still broke through the armor, most of them were deformed by the blow, or embedded between the iron plates and the planks underneath.

This also made Sun Zhengzai, who was pressing the formation here, breathe a sigh of relief, so that the tortoiseshell ship was not damaged much.

At this time, the fireship was already on par with the tortoiseshell ship, and it was about to stand out and attack the enemy.

Sun Zhengzai gritted his teeth and looked at the enemy ship on the opposite side, and he ordered the fire ship to attack the enemy ship together with the warship, and the success or failure was in one fell swoop.

At this moment, the enemy's fleet of warships also beat their drums and trumpets, and the enemy warships began to turn their bows one after another.

Of course, there was a process in this turn, when the oarsmen of the North Korean fleet rushed towards the enemy ship with all their milking strength.

Four hundred paces, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, and here it is, the enemy's ships have turned their bows and left.

Although the nearest fireship even fired rockets to ignite some sails and rigging, but that was it, and there was no possibility of getting closer.

The Jeju fleet departed.

Wen Quantai, Sun Zhengzai, Luo Tiehu and others looked like they wanted to cry without tears, how did they leave, this, what should they be, what should they be.

Li Hong is like falling into an ice cave, he has always had a very active head, he can see at a glance that the enemy is planning to use artillery to destroy the entire fleet, and he does not plan to engage in hand-to-hand combat at all.

Li Hong's guess was completely correct, what Zhao Lie said most to the naval division generals was that on this sea, whether it was the Japanese or the Korean naval division, the only thing that could threaten the naval division of the captive army was the fireboat, so against these two countries, it was a blow and a walk, never close combat, and did not give the opponent a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Li Hu's tactics were completely arranged in accordance with Zhao Lie's words, that is, one blow and then go, destroy some of your warships, several times and three times, eat the enemy in a few bites, and never be greedy for merit.

Sun Zhengzai watched the enemy ship leave far away, he also knew the enemy's tactics, knew how, and there was no move at all to meet the enemy, what to do.

At this time, the drums and trumpets of the Weihai Division of the Western Ming Army sounded in unison, and under the command of the drum and trumpet flag, the Ming warships began to turn to the northwest and move forward, even the several warships that were broken and seriously injured were no exception.

Sun Zhengzai was somewhat moved in his heart at this time, by the way, the soldiers of Shangguo are brave warriors, this is to find a decisive battle with the Ming people of Jeju, and it is not a loss to the demeanor of a great country in Shangbang.

However, the Weihai division sailed in the wrong direction, and even abandoned the enemy due west and sailed straight to the northwest.

Damn, this is to escape, peat, do you still want to go to the face of the suzerain, Sun Zhengzai's eyes were split. (To be continued.) )
