For some unknown reason, the temporary transfer of the Invincible Armada did not attract enough attention from the Japanese troops, and they wholeheartedly continued to fight the Invincible Armada according to the old deployment, perhaps they hoped to gain the upper hand in the struggle with the Invincible Armada.

However, one thing that has to be admitted is that under the harassment of the Armada, the Japanese army could not even be distracted to pay attention to the movement of the Armada.

Therefore, it was not until the Armada launched an attack on the location of the Japanese transport ships that the Japanese figured out the true intention of the Armada to carry out the transfer, but it was a little too late for them to know.

At the same time, they also found themselves being tricked by the Taipings, but they seemed very powerless.

This hand of the Invincible Armada was fatal to the Japanese army, and if the Japanese transport ship was damaged, it would not only affect the safety of the 100,000 Japanese troops on the transport ship, but also have a far-reaching impact on the final trend of the Inchon Campaign.

Therefore, the Japanese army must immediately take corresponding action to deal with the current crisis.

And their first reaction was to free the Japanese ships that had been entangled with the huge gunboats of the Invincible Armada, completely abandon this pointless struggle, and rush to support the battle in the direction of the transport ships as much as possible.

After all, for the Japanese Navy, the most important task now is to protect those transport ships and the Japanese troops on them to ensure their safety.

But will the Armada let them get their way? The answer is no, definitely not, and the Armada will certainly not let the Japanese do what they want to do as they wish.

Moreover, the Armada will also try to hinder the next move of the Japanese as much as possible, so as to ensure that the Japanese do not have any chance to support the battle in the direction of the transport.

So. In this way, the task of the Armada became simple, they only had to pester these dozens of Japanese ships to the death and not let them go.

It was precisely under the desperate resistance of the Invincible Armada that this part of the Japanese ships that were towed could neither advance nor retreat, and could only watch as the Invincible Flota launched a fierce attack on the Japanese transport ships and the gunboats protecting the transport ships.

In the direction of the Japanese transports, the Armada was launching a saturation attack on the Japanese transports with the firepower of forty gunboats and ten frigates.

Of course, although it was passively beaten, the Japanese gunboats guarding the transports also began to return fire against the Armada.

However, no matter what you say, no matter what you do, the Japanese ships are on the weak side after all. They could only resist the attack of the Armada with great difficulty.

And compared to giant gunboats. These gunboats, equipped with conventional guns, were very easy to operate, and the sailors of the Taiping Army were very skillful, and most of the shells that passed through their hands were almost within the target range, and a few even hit the target.

The war has once again baptized newcomers.

And although the Japanese gunboats also have thirty stationed here, after all, there are too many distractions for them, they can't be like the gunboats of the Invincible Armada, they just need to attack, and the defense will naturally be responsible for the frigates, they will not only attack, but also defend. Under inhuman pressure. But. They have to persevere, because if they don't persevere, they die.

Except, of course, on these above. The Invincible Armada also far surpassed the Japanese in terms of the number of ships.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for the Japanese army to be in a situation of passive beating.

As the attack deepened, the shells of the Invincible Armada began to damage the Japanese warships, and they directly sank two gunboats and seriously injured one transport ship, however, this transport ship only temporarily lost its combat and operational capabilities, and it was not sunk, so the Japanese troops on the ship were also safe for the time being, but if the Taiping Army continued to attack, no one could guarantee whether the transport ship would sink immediately.

On the side of the Armada, one frigate was damaged and two gunboats were slightly damaged, however, none of these three ships had lost their combat effectiveness and could continue to fight.

Although there were injuries to each other, the two sides did not mean to stop, and still used artillery to carry out fierce attacks.

In the current situation, perhaps the battle will not stop until one side falls.

And as the war progressed, another Japanese gunboat was hit and withdrew from the battle sequence.

As the day went on, more and more Japanese ships began to be hit, but the Japanese were helpless, and there was only a limit to what they could do other than to fight back.

The battle between the two sides in the direction of the transport ship lasted almost an hour, and the final victory was still undecided on the basis of heavy costs paid by the two warring sides.

And from the list of damage, you can see the tragedy of the war.

Of the Japanese troops, four gunboats were sunk, four were out of battle due to damage to Yan zhòng, and seven were moderately damaged and had partially lost their combat capability.

That is, Japan lost almost half of its combat power.

And the Invincible Armada also suffered a lot of losses, but compared to the Japanese army, it was much better.

In the battle that is still ongoing, the Armada already has 1 frigate damaged and can no longer fight, 5 frigates are moderately damaged, losing half of their combat effectiveness, and 3 gunboats are slightly damaged, on the whole, although the cost is not small, but it is smaller than that of the Japanese.

Of course, this is only the number of damage in one place, and if the losses of the Japanese and Taiping troops who fought are taken into account, the losses will be even more severe.

Therefore, judging from the current situation, the overall combat power of the Armada is showing an upward trend, while the Japanese army has begun to go down, and the Taiping army has an increasingly obvious upper hand.

If Japan could not change this, I am afraid that its 30 gunboats, 50 transports, and 100,000 Japanese troops would sink to the bottom of the sea.

This is definitely not alarmist, but it is a burden that Japan cannot bear.

Of course, the Japanese army also knew the importance of this, so they have been working hard, but with little success.

And the forty gunboats towed by the huge gunboats of the Taiping Army have been trying to drag the Invincible Armada into a struggle, so as to go to the battle in the direction of reinforcements in the direction of the Japanese transport ships, so as to help the Japanese navy in the direction of the transport ships to solve the crisis today.

However, contrary to their wishes, the Armada also went-for-tat with them, and dragged them to the death to prevent them from going to their aid.

In the end, the Japanese ships were entangled in anger, and they opened fire and fired again, intending to spill this full anger on the Armada and fight with the Armadada.

However, the giant gunboats of the Invincible Armada took advantage of their own advantages and tried to keep a certain distance from the Japanese ships, so that they could hit the Japanese ships, but the Japanese ships could not grind their own sides.

In such an almost humiliating battle, the Japanese ships were bitter and could not be said.

The success of Armada tactics can also be seen from this.

This is called the novice suppressing the veteran, and the latecomer prevailing.

It has to be said that it is a tactic that makes people shine.

And the naval battle is still going on, the number of damaged ships is also increasing, and the number of ships that have lost their combat effectiveness is increasing, and there are already several sunken ships.

The two sides fought almost from noon to the west, but the final victory was still not decided, but according to the current situation, the Taiping armada was getting closer and closer to victory.

And the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on this battlefield, dyeing the sea surface golden, and the roaring artillery fire seemed to be plated with a layer of gold under the illumination of the setting sun, and at a glance, there was a little shining feeling.

If this is not a battlefield, the scene presented in front of people's eyes must be indescribably spectacular.

It's a pity, this is the battlefield, the battlefield of life and death, there is life and death, there is blood and tears, I'm afraid the only thing that you don't have is feelings.

Feelings are superfluous here, for both parties, except, of course, negative feelings.

And these negative emotions are mainly the hatred brought by those bones, and it is a hatred that is difficult to dissolve with anything, and the only thing that can be resolved is probably blood.

The Armada is still attacking fiercely, and the Japanese army can't think of a way to break the game except to go crazy, and it seems that this has become a dead game for the Japanese army.

An unsolvable dead move.

However, the truth is so unpredictable.

Just when the Invincible Armada was winning and the Japanese navy was gradually dying, Tiangong helped the Japanese army a lot at this time.

For the Invincible Armada, it can only be described as a god who is not beautiful.

At this time, it suddenly rained heavily in the sky, and with the rain came a violent sea breeze, which blew huge waves and pushed the warships of both sides to the ground.

Bad weather has put a halt to the ongoing battle, and both sides are scrambling to find a haven from the wind.

The battle came to an abrupt halt.

A qiē is so sudden.

And this storm came and went quickly, when a touch of red glow after the rain came into view, the invincible armada of the Taiping Army found that the Japanese navy had withdrawn, and the evacuation was clean, leaving no trace.

As far as the eye can see, there is only a piece of blue left between the sea and the sky, and nothing else.

As a result, the Armada continued to blockade the sea, preparing to cooperate with the Taiping army to launch an attack on the Japanese army at Incheon City.

However, the reinforcements that the Japanese army was looking forward to could only reluctantly retreat into the distance, and they were still nowhere to be found at this moment. (To be continued......)
