Compared with the Japanese people who have begun to scatter the salvo, the five-plate axes of the broken army are fierce and fierce, and the rumbling cannons shake all directions, and the ears of both the Ming people and the Japanese people on this battlefield are full of cannon roars, and they must even shout at the top of their voices to communicate.

After nearly eight rounds of shelling, five Japanese warships were disemboweled, in addition to the one that was directly blown up by Yue Fei, the other four also lost their combat power and became floating on the water.

Zhang Huan's Duan Zhixuan crossed a seriously injured patrol ship, only to see that the interior of the warship was emitting fire and smoke, in order to control the fire, the captain of the ship had ordered all the sails, and the speed of the ship was almost completely gone, just to reduce the sea breeze to fuel the fire.

Zhang Huan grinned, this unlucky fellow was estimated to have been drilled into the artillery deck by a projectile from a Japanese cannon, igniting the ******.

There was no kung fu to care about it, Zhang Huan commanded the ship to move forward as soon as possible.

Boom, boom, Duan Zhixuan erupted flames and projectiles at the Japanese warship opposite it, Zhang Huan could see with the naked eye that the main sail in the middle of the opponent was ignited by the projectile launched from Duan Zhixuan, and two large holes appeared on the side side, but the position of these two big holes was above the side side, not on the gun deck, which might bring casualties to the armor of the warship, but it had no effect on the gun deck of the warship.

Sure enough, the Japanese warship also erupted flames and began to fight back.

Bang, Duan Zhixuan was shot twice, one projectile hit a big dent, and a projectile from a twenty-four-pounder gun rushed into the artillery deck.

There was a loud bang on the side of the ship behind Qian Er, and a projectile rushed into the cabin. Destroy a 36-pounder gun wagon. The cannon was not damaged in the slightest. But lost the angle of hit, and then there was no replacement before the gun carriage, it was scrapped there.

But the rain of wood chips from the projectile shattering the ship's planks was coming at the crew.

Several screams were heard for a while, and a total of more than a dozen gunners were injured, but fortunately, most of them were lightly wounded, and only one was extremely seriously injured, his neck was pierced by a piece of wood half a foot long, and blood spurted out.

The soldiers on the side helped him stop the bleeding. But he couldn't stop it, and after a while, blood lay all over half of his body, and the soldier named Wang Yu immediately fell into a coma, and never woke up again.

The soldiers in the cabin were busy wrapping up the wounded soldiers, and many other gunners watched silently, after all, they had not seen such a terrifying scene in a few years, after all, the Broken Army and Naval Division were almost invincible in this sea area, and the two sides of the cannon had no chance of fighting the hammer scene at all, and now this bloody scene surprised them for a while.

"Fight back, fight back. Don't forget. When you stop, the Japanese people on the other side are constantly bombarding. You don't expect them to let me go. Qian Er took out the momentum of the first chief, and he shouted loudly,

"Fuck me out, don't forget what the adults said, hit hard."

At the sound of his wolf howl, many soldiers woke up like a dream and hurriedly began to get busy.

"Qian Er, you bastard, why did the artillery stop, tell you, the captain is angry, be careful of military law." First mate Shi Chong poked out a head and yelled.

Then, he saw the bloody scene on the deck, and he stopped shouting.

"First mate, don't worry, start firing a salvo right away." Qian Er wiped a handful of sweat that came out urgently.

Shi Chong nodded and didn't shout again, after all, there are some extenuating things in this situation, Shi Chong looked at Wang Yu lying on the ground and turned around to climb up the deck.

"Who, Wang Yu." When Shi Chong reported back to Zhang Huan, the artillery fire on the artillery deck began to roar again, so Zhang Huan couldn't hear very clearly.

"Yes, it's Wang Yu, I can't be mistaken." Shi Chong shouted, and the sound was about to break, no way, the noise here was too loud.

"It turned out to be him, his child was only three years old, a boy." Zhang Huan knows the soldiers under his command well, and in his opinion, they are all brothers who fight together, and they must remember all the soldiers and the situation at home, and now it seems that they are going to be used.

"Remind me to send five taels of silver to his house when I arrive." Zhang Huan nodded, he raised his telescope and looked at the Japanese warship opposite, very angry and breathless.

His own firepower is stronger than the opposite one, but it is to let the opponent win first, this anger in his heart has nowhere to vent for a while, he said in his heart, if Qian Er does not get back one percent, after this battle, he must make Qian Er look good, otherwise the fire in his heart has nowhere to vent.

Perhaps Qian Er heard his thoughts, and under Qian Er's coordination, the gunners united in sending out a second salvo.

In Zhang Huan's telescope, it can be clearly seen that three projectiles have penetrated into the hull of the opponent's ship, a 36-pound Thiago projectile flew up and injured more than 20 Japanese gunners, and the other two projectiles destroyed three cannons, and the guns of the Japanese warship on the opposite side immediately became weak.

This made Zhang Huan extremely satisfied, and he waved his hand vigorously.

Many sailors on deck saw this scene, and they let out constant cheers.

Zhang Huan was still angry, but the opponent's ship was heavily damaged, the speed of the ship dropped sharply, and it began to lag behind Duan Zhixuan, and the left side of Duan Zhixuan was temporarily empty, and there was no bombardment object, which made Zhang Huan feel aggrieved.

He looked back at the Japanese warship unwillingly, at this time Zhixuan's rear body of the single male signal came up, they did not meet the opponent for a while, after all, the warships of the Broken Army and the Navy Division were not all warships on the opposite side, therefore, unfortunately, the single male signal bye.

The captain, sailor, and gunner of the ship could only watch the brother warship with a blank eye, and now seeing how the fat that fell in front of them could be spared, before crossing the enemy ship, two salvos came fiercely, and the result was that three 36-pound projectiles fiercely drilled into the gun deck of the enemy ship, and immediately caused a big explosion.

The Japanese warship was paralyzed in the sea with fire and smoke, and the result was a small injury, and the follow-up warships of the Broken Army gave him a salvo when they passed by, and he was beaten to tatters, the only luck was that there was no shot hit the waterline, although the battleship was smoking and spitting fire, but it was stubbornly floating on the sea.

Of course, Zhang Huan and his Duan Zhixuan couldn't see all this, and they were ready to vent their anger on the next battleship.

The sound of the cannon, which had been resounding for more than an hour, began to disperse and stop, and both sides had to dissipate the heat and rest, otherwise the cannon would probably explode, which was fatal in the closed and piled ****** artillery deck, which was equivalent to a large bomb.

Li Hu looked at the evening sky, it seemed that there was no way to catch up, he immediately ordered the fleet to turn west, and fight at night, which was not very powerful against the broken army.

The fleet of the Broken Army turned to the west, and the Japanese naval division also began to turn to the east, and Xiang Jing Tadasheng had already estimated his own losses, about thirteen or fourteen warships did not keep up with the fleet, which meant that they were basically finished, and now he still had more than sixty warships in his hands, and this loss was acceptable to him.

Mukai Tadakatsu even thought that the exchange of a dozen warships for a one-day armistice was a victory for the shogunate's naval divisions.

After all, he was just stalling for time, waiting for the opportunity to come.

After Li Hu sailed for dozens of miles, he also gave the order to the fleet to lower the sails and rest, and at the same time asked the ships to quickly collect the wounded, repair the damage, and take advantage of the last ray of sunshine before it dissipated, these things are very important.

The men of the ships also began to make fires and make food, and the ships were fighting hungry from morning to now, so there was no way, and the people were nervous and excited, and they did not feel that when they stopped, all the people were hungry.

Several flying clippers around Yue Fei lit their lights, constantly coming and going to various warships, summing up the results of the fierce battle that day.

Today's fierce battle surprised Li Hu, the matter of the Japanese changing heavy artillery is really ignorant of the Broken Army and the Naval Army, which also brings great trouble to the Broken Army and Naval Division, and many casualties are caused by this.

Of course, Li Hu did not think that the Japanese people were already exhausted, and his opponent Mukai Tadashi was not a fool, on the contrary, in the decades of fighting for the Tokugawa family, Mukai Tadasheng and his father repeatedly made military exploits, and established a great reputation for the Tokugawa family's naval army.

Otherwise, Mukai Tadakatsu would not have secured the position of the commander-in-chief of the shogunate's naval forces, and the Tokugawa family would not have given him a prominent position in the shogunate ship.

So this general dares to go to sea for a decisive battle when he knows that he knows that the army and the navy are strong and the guns are strong, and he must have a winning blow, what is the key, of course, Li Hu is not without a follow-up move, it depends on the battle of wits and courage with this Japanese general.

After dinner, Li Hu received a summary of the battle situation, two patrol ships of the Broken Army did not keep up with the itinerary of the brigade, and there is no trace so far, it seems that there is more luck and less luck, and three of the remaining patrol ships have been seriously damaged, after all, the heavy artillery of the shogunate navy, the defense of the patrol ships focusing on patrol and sentry is worse.

The fleet has sent two clippers to search, there are 300 soldiers on it, even if the ship sinks, these soldiers must be found.

There are also eight Tang-class battleships with heavy damage to their cabins, but they are being repaired urgently, and it will not be a problem to catch up with tomorrow's decisive battle.

In addition to the two missing patrol ships, thirty-seven soldiers were killed and more than 300 wounded, some of them sailors on the upper deck who were wounded by projectiles or flying pieces of wood, and some of the soldiers on the lower deck who were wounded by projectiles or chips of wood.

Li Hu was very satisfied with such casualties, he estimated that the casualties of the Japanese were several times that of the broken army, everything depends on tomorrow's decisive battle, of course, it also depends on God's will, if it is his old man's madness, then no one should think about going down, they have to go back obediently to avoid the wind.

More than 100 miles to the southwest of the Broken Army, a miscellaneous and huge fleet was moving slowly, and the flags of each warship were also varied, each ship had at least ten pilot lights, and their goal was to go north and south. (To be continued.) )
