The tragic situation in the south was no longer for Mukai Tadakatsu, and now he led more than forty warships and began to flee to the north for his life. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The more than twenty behemoths that appeared behind scared Xiang Jing Zhongsheng's courage, if he had known that Ming had such a huge warship, he would never have taken the risk of fighting, it was not that he did not have the courage, but that going to sea to fight like this was the rhythm of death.

The most important thing is that this defeat will make the general even more shameless, and the following external daimyo will be ready to move, and even whether the three royal families have changed is unknown.

And his Xiangjing family is also related to the general's honor and disgrace for generations, if the general's rule is not guaranteed, as a genealogical retainer of the Tokugawa family, the Xiangjing family is also stormy.

In this way, he buried the shogunate sailors and most of the warships in the country, and he had to commit suicide even if he fled back to the well, but in order to drive the remaining Nanban warships back as much as possible, he had to escape.

Today's Mukai knows that the Nanban warships are the backbone of the naval division, as long as these dozens of warships run back, they will lose other warships, and the shogunate naval division is still the foundation.

Because the shogunate sailors were the first to turn, and they also took advantage of the southwesterly wind, which was gradually increasing the wind, the speed of the shogunate sailors increased greatly, from a few miles ahead to more than ten miles, and the speed of the ships was getting faster and faster.

But when the ships of the Shogunate began to turn their bows and take advantage of the wind, the Shogunate sailors were tragic.

The speed of the soft sail has a great relationship with the area of the sail, the larger the sail, the faster the speed, of course, the size of the sail has a great relationship with the weight of the hull, if the hull is limited, the sail can not be too large, otherwise the shake of the ship will be aggravated, which is not conducive to fast sailing, and may even capsize.

The Tang-class and Song-class warships of the Broken Army had an advantage in this regard. Their bulging sails drove the hull to accelerate, and with the help of the ever-expanding southwesterly wind, they attacked the shogunate sailors from the east and west wings, and the distance was reduced from a dozen miles to several miles in an instant.

Mukai Tadashi anxiously looked at the approaching Ming warships on both sides with a telescope, especially the ranks of the giant ships moving rapidly on the east side, these battleships were full of sails and flew like ancient beasts.

Mukai found that the hulls of these battleships were marked with huge kanji. Of course, the language of the native people was borrowed from Chinese characters, and he knew a few such as loyalty, beauty, karma, etc., and he found that this was the first time that the Ming people had written the name of a ship on the hull.

If Xiang Jing Zhongsheng knew all the Chinese characters, he would find that the names of these warships were Di Qing, Zong Ze, Chong Shiheng, Wu Jie, Wu Lu, Han Shizhong, Yang Jiye, Pan Mei, Zhang Xian, Cao Bin, Yang Yanzhao, Li Tingzhi, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Zhang Jun, Niu Gao, Yang Zaixing, Yao Xing, Wang Jian, Meng Hui, Li Jilong, Cao Wei, Chongshidao, Chongge, Bi Zaiyu, Chongshiheng and a series of warships.

Zhang Gusheng stood on the bow of the Di Qing and checked the route of the Japanese warship, these more than 20 Song-class warships are the most powerful warships of the Broken Army Naval Division, although they have canceled all the gorgeous decorations like the previous Broken Army warships, because Zhao Lie does not like it is also to save a large amount of money to build silver taels, but their huge bodies and more than 20 30 36-pound and 48-pound guns on the ship are still the main force of the artillery battle of the Broken Army.

Just to blind the enemy. Zhao Lie has always let him nest in Jeju, and this time Zhao Lie gave an order, let Zhang Gusheng, who had lived in Shidao for many years, take charge of this heavy artillery fleet, and the Song-class fleet had just set out for the first time.

The captains of the original Breaking Army were all on the boat, who had been trained for a long time and were in the prime of life, and this time Zhao Lie's order to open the gates, these cadres rushed to the fleeing shogunate sailors like tigers out of the cage.

Zhang Gusheng is not a military general who can calm down like Li Hu, as can be seen from the ranking of his ship. He was now second in the line of the pursuing fleet, and his flag flew high on the Diqing. Lead the whole fleet forward to charge.

The first three ships gradually approached the last three ships of the Japanese fleet, and they slowly went from backward to neck and neck.

The last three warships of the Wades were in their early 200 tons, and their round shape was not suitable for racing, and the Dutch Galen ships were known for their smoothness and capacity, so that even the ships shook from time to time even though they ventured into full sails in the midst of strong winds and waves. But they were still helplessly overtaken by Wu Jie, whose body size was several times that of them, but Wu Jiehao did not stop, but continued to move forward.

The Di Qing in the back also crossed the last enemy ship with the sound of drums.

Boom, boom, several Japanese warships opened fire on the Wu Jie, Di Qing, and Han Shizhong, which were more than two miles to their side.

The projectiles of thirty broadside guns mostly lost their crosshairs in the wind and waves, and only a few twelve-pounder guns and eighteen-pounder projectiles hit the broadside of three battleships. But after the thud, the three warships were safe and sound, and began to move closer to the three Japanese warships.

The thickness of the board of the Song-class battleship is not what these trots can blast away at such a long distance, and with such a large tonnage, a lot of it is used for protection.

What are they doing when they come closer, the Japanese naval army has a clear idea, and the Japanese soldiers who have fought several times with the broken army are very experienced, and the Ming people are the rhythm of heavy artillery roaring as soon as they do this, but they don't dare to dodge, they stay behind is a delay in blocking the fate, if they escape, there has always been no good end for the children of the family.

The only thing they can do is to bombard wildly, set up heat dissipation, and forget about any salvo, now it is important to open fire, if it shatters the other party's sails or ignites some medicine packets, what the Japanese sailors of the last three battleships hope for is to kill the master with random punches.

After two rounds of shelling, the three Song-class ships approached less than a mile away, and there were no major losses except for damage to the two upper sails of the Han Shizhong, and some bullet marks left on the side of the ship.

Under the desperate gaze of the Japanese naval army, the huge gun windows on the side of the three warships opened, and as long as you look at the gun windows of these three battleships, you can know that it must be a huge cannon, and the Japanese can only sit and wait for the hammer to strike.

Boom, boom, the fifteen 24-pounder guns, 12 36-pounder guns, and six 48-pounder guns on the side of the Di Qing, Wu Jie, and Han Shizhong roared one after another.

After the muffled sound of the cannons, the ****** fired the twenty-four, thirty-six, and forty-eight pound projectiles, and they swept away like lightning.

In the turbulence of the wind and waves, it is speechless when it comes to accuracy, but there are still some projectiles that have completed their mission.

The mainmast of the rearmost Japanese warship was shattered with a thud, and the entire mainmast with the mainsail was tilted to the side, and it could have fallen on the deck had it not been wrapped in a rope ladder.

The Japanese warship, which was fleeing with all its might, immediately tilted upside down and turned like a drunken man, and at the same time two holes were made in its east side, fortunately it was not the masterpiece of the forty-eight-pound Tiago, but it was also a catastrophe for two projectiles to burrow into the gun deck.

A twenty-four-pounder pellet knocked two twelve-pounder guns out of their emplacements and knocked six or seven gunners flying, while another thirty-six-pounder pellet did not hit the cannon, but brought hundreds of wood chips to greet them, wounding almost half of them.

Immediately, the smell of blood filled the entire gun deck, and almost all the wounded gunners were howling loudly, except for the unlucky few who had visited Yawata Okami.

It is true that these Japanese people are more fierce than the Ming people, after all, the Warring States Period is not far away, and they still bear the imprint of the Warring States Period, but no one has ever experienced such a bloody scene.

In the face of forty or fifty people falling to the ground and rolling and howling, as well as the bloody stumps splashing everywhere, the remaining Japanese gunners were already stunned.

The ship's guns stopped completely, and it was not until the widows on the deck rushed in and shouted that the trembling goose came back to their senses and opened fire again, but alas, only five or six guns were able to shoot back weakly.

Compared to this ship, the sailors in the middle of the Japanese warship were lucky, three forty-eight-pound projectiles of the Di Qing pierced its gun deck, and one projectile ghost Grim Reaper almost hit the gunpowder pack.

Then there was no such thing, a deafening crackling sound sounded, and the battleship almost broke off at the waist, and began to sink slowly in smoke and fire, and the Japanese gunners on the artillery deck lost their lives and consciousness almost instantly, and they did not have to suffer, so their fate was better than that of the Japanese battleship.

The warship at the front must have been protected by the god Hachiman, and there were no other external injuries except for two projectiles that hit the sails and slowed it down.

This made the captain and soldiers of the Wu Jie extremely embarrassed, Di Qing and Han Shizhong slashed and killed, the enemy ship was wiped out, and the enemy ship opposite the Wu Jie was driving lively, which made people embarrassed.

In fact, the Wu Jie, who was more wronged, was caught up with a big swell when the shelling was just now, and the ship was lifted, so almost all the projectiles were released, but the battlefield is not a place to talk about reasons, there are only success and failure here.

Now it was Di Qing who blew up his opponent, Han Shizhong who severely injured his opponent and paralyzed him at sea, and Wu Jie's opponent ran this Huanshi, and Lord Zhang was watching from Di Qing behind them.

The soldiers of the Wu Jie, holding their breath, reloaded and reset, and aimed at the Japanese warship that was still moving.

Boom, boom, more than 30 heavy guns fired a second salvo, this time four projectiles hit the enemy ship, two of which hit the gun deck, the projectiles of the two 48-pound Tiago guns, the gunwald of the gun deck hit two huge holes, and the rain of wood chips staged a bloody scene here, and most of the guns of this warship stopped ringing.

In the ensuing shelling, these three Song-class battleships completely paralyzed these three enemy ships and left them to fend for themselves at sea. (To be continued.) )
