Chapter 683: Battle of the Guanmen Strait II

Under Liu Laodao's order, the fleet began to slowly retreat. But Liu Laodao found that he couldn't withdraw.

His ship was at the front, surrounded by ships from all sides.

For a while, there is no way to advance or retreat.

Liu Laodao was simply ruthless, and said secretly: "Lao Tzu doesn't kill your head, and you don't know if you are afraid of bloodshed." "All but a few men at the helm were all dressed in battle.

Even if the Fubune were surrounded, it would be like a castle floating on the sea, and it was not something that these Japanese boats could conquer.

Groups of Japanese jumped into the gang, and then under the side of the ship were killed by muskets, 10,000 enemies, and other gunpowder, and in the face of the much higher side of the ship, they could not borrow strength at all, so they could only draw their bows and shoot.

However, the power and range of the bow and arrow are comparable to that of the musket. It's just that the Japanese take advantage of the strength of the crowd, and the long jingling arrows are nailed to the side of the ship on the deck, as if the whole ship is covered with white thatch.

Of course, there are also many unlucky people who died under the rain of arrows.

"When." With a thud, a flying claw grabbed the side of the ship, and two or three people rushed onto the deck.

Before these people could gain a firm foothold, they were cross-cut in half by a few jumping helpers.

However, when the claw method worked, it seemed to inspire the people below at once, and one by one the claws were thrown upward, so that it seemed as if people had climbed the mast.

Although the side of the Fukubune is higher than that of the Japanese ship, it is not as tall as the mast of the Japanese ship. Several Japanese jumped on the mast and grabbed the rope as if they were swinging, and jumped from the mast onto the deck of the Fukubune.

This is the same as this, and the ship will inevitably fall into hand-to-hand combat.

Liu Laodao said darkly in his heart: "My old life, is it difficult to be sent here?" ”

He knows very well what is his greatest strength? Although Liu Laodao is sure that the sailors under his command are definitely not inferior to these Japanese, but now when it is their turn to compete bravely, the gains outweigh the losses.

But Liu Laodao secretly regretted it, what should have happened had already happened.

Liu Laodao simply didn't think about it, on the battlefield, it was useless to think too much. He pulled out the sword that had accompanied him for an unknown number of years, and his name came from his good knife skills.

I saw him rush over, pick up his big knife with both hands, and slash at the Japanese who rushed to the deck.

With the sound of "dang", Liu Laodao was brave and fierce, and cut the Japanese katana in two with one knife, and then took advantage of the situation to cut the future man in two.

The blood spurted out like a fountain, instantly staining Liu Laodao's whole body red.

He felt that his body was empty, and he secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, he is old, he has been pampered for a few years, and even his knife skills have regressed." ”

Perhaps due to the influence of the Japanese who rushed up, the artillery was ready to stop firing, and several of the musketeers also drew their bayonets. But Liu Laodao shouted angrily: "Everyone continues their tasks, don't affect others." ”

Relying on these firearms to suppress, the Japanese who rushed up were only in the single digits, and they were defeated by those who had been prepared for a long time like chopping vegetables and melons.

But if the first two lines of fire can't block it, there will be more than just a few people rushing up.

At this time, Liu Laodao suddenly felt a movement on the deck below him.

The whole ship moved westward.

Liu Laodao was overjoyed and said: "Pay attention, our ship is moving, we will soon break out of the encirclement, everyone cheers me up." ”

I have to say that the sailors of Liu Laodao's ship are all first-class elites of the Yongjun sailors, and even at this time, the big ship can still hold several small boats and slowly move westward.

"Boom. Rumble. Rumble. "Several violent cannon shots.

However, this cannon was not fired by the gunner on Liu Lao's knife ship. It's a ship in the back.

This ship had already withdrawn, but when it was discovered that Liu Laodao was actually trapped, Dajing was suddenly discolored.

So they immediately reversed course. It's time to save Liu Laodao.

These shellings were not fired elsewhere, but at the vicinity of Liu Laodao's boat, and a large number of ships were gathered near Liu's knife-seat ship, and there was no inaccurate situation, but Liu Laodao was worried that he would not be injured by mistake.

couldn't help but scold: "Dog's day." Don't hit Lao Tzu. ”、

Although he said so, Liu Laodao did not let go of the opportunity at all. Taking advantage of this time, desperately drive away the road when the ship is coming.

But Liu Laodao's ship, which was surrounded by heavy boats, was not easy to accomplish this task.

At this time, Liu Laodao also saw the flag on the ship behind, and the back road was quite smooth, at least the Ouchi clan did not expect that the front and rear attacks would trap them in the Guanmen Strait.

Seeing this, Yoshitaka Ouchi couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

From the beginning of this battle, until now, he has seen these tragic battles. He even counted how many ships he had lost.

But it was seen that not a single ship of the enemy was sunk. My heart was suddenly extremely anxious. "What should you do?" he asked. ”

The men sank for a while, and suddenly one of them said, "Your Highness, attack with fire." The sea channel is winding and narrow, and it is a good place for fire attack, and the opponent is already trapped. It should be burned with fire. ”

When Yoshitaka Ouchi heard this, he thought it was a good idea, and he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, set fire." ”

With the order of Yoshitaka Ouchi, all the archers who were shooting arrows at Liu Lao's sword ship changed to rockets, and countless rockets were like fire rain meteors, falling from the sky with fire heads.

Some of them were nailed to the side of the ship and then extinguished, while others were simply nailed to the deck and slowly burned. However, the personnel on the ship reacted quickly and immediately extinguished the fire with sand to prevent it from spreading.

But not everything is so lucky.

There was a "boom", which was far more than the sound of artillery, but it was a rocket nailed to the gunpowder bag above the gun position.

Ignite the gunpowder instantly.

And it was not one bag that was ignited, but many bags ignited together, and all the explosions were superimposed on each other, and they exploded with a bang, and the ship's side, which was as solid as the city wall, seemed to have been bitten by something fiercely, and a large piece was missing in an instant.

The cannon on the original gun position was thrown out by the force of the explosion, and smashed on the deck of a ship below the side of the ship, such a heavy cannon, like a huge cannonball, instantly smashed the deck of this ship, and smashed the bottom compartment together, leaving a hole under the cabin that could not be repaired.

In a few moments, the ship sank, and only the tall mast still floated on the surface of the river.

However, even so, countless Japanese people chanted to their heart's content.

It's been a long time since the war started, and just now, it was the biggest loss to the Yongjun Naval Division. They can't help but be upset. They almost went crazy and continued the attack.

Liu Laodao's face was extremely gloomy.

He said secretly: "I'm afraid I can't bring this ship back." ”

He made a sharp decision: "All artillery ceases fire, ignite the powder packets and throw them at the ship below." ”

He called all the people on the ship to his side, and said: "If you want to stay on the ship in the present situation, you must return to the next ship, and if you want to go back, you must kill the enemy alive." This road is extremely dangerous, but it is the only way to live. Who wants to kill with me. ”

"I do."

"I do."

But after a while, everyone agreed, in fact, the choice between life and death is still very easy to choose, because no one wants to die.

Liu Laodao immediately asked everyone to prepare against the rain of arrows.

The flames were lit everywhere on the ship, and even the canvas on the head, I don't know when, was also lit by the Japanese, and the raging fire attracted everyone's attention like a torch.

Even so, Japan's rockets have not been cut off. However, the frequency and number have decreased a lot, after all, archery also requires strength.

"Let's go," Liu Laodao took the lead and left the fortune boat along a rope, before again, many things were still arranged, and Liu Laodao's departure was just a lead.
