The five-masted flagship of the Japanese First Fleet, escorted by numerous Japanese warships, was destroyed by a round of heavy artillery fire from ten Chinese warships. Shocked by all the Japanese warships within a few miles of the surrounding area, they were so shocked that they almost suffocated on the spot, unable to believe what was happening in front of them.

And the thousands of Japanese warships farther away only heard the sound of heavy shelling from the center of the flotilla, and at this time they did not know at all what was happening, let alone that the flagship had sunk.

Flagship, that is the core soul of the entire First Fleet. The important player generals who presided over this sneak attack were all on it, the flagship sank, and a large number of important generals were killed, which immediately disrupted the entire operation.

Especially Junichiro Watanabe, the commander of the First Fleet.

Many Japanese players vaguely know that this sneak attack is going to Taiwan, but what specific military targets are to be attacked? How does it work? What is the best military effect to achieve? What kind of deployment is needed before and after the war? These are not things that ordinary warship commanders can know, and even high-ranking generals can't grasp whether they are correct or not, and only the commander Junichiro Watanabe has the ability to command the overall situation.

Important generals, including Junichiro Watanabe, set their rebirth and resurrection points on the flagship, but the flagship sank and could not be reborn. ^^^^ could only be reborn and return to the Japanese archipelago, and it took them nearly a day to rush back to the First Fleet by ship from the Japanese island, which wasted a day in vain, giving Taiwan's new Pacific Fleet more time to prepare for the war.

All of a sudden, the original deployment was completely messed up, and the Japanese players were at a loss. Suddenly, a Japanese shouted, "Chinese warships, those ten Chinese warships, kill them!" ”。 As soon as he shouted, the Japanese players on the surrounding warships suddenly came to their senses. Know what to do now.

Without the restraint of the flagship and the supreme commander, they had no scruples.

Twenty four-masted escort warships and more than thirty three-masted warships broke away from the large force and rushed towards the ten Chinese warships, angrily trying to tear them to shreds in revenge for the sinking of the flagship. In addition, there were the first batch of 100 Japanese warships that had been chasing the Chinese warships, and the second batch of 50 Japanese warships. They have already caught up from behind.

In total, nearly 200 large and small Japanese warships rushed towards ten Chinese warships at the same time. ^^ Chinese battleship landed players who saw the huge Japanese flagship gradually sinking, shouted excitedly as they stepped up to reload gunpowder. Under the operation of well-trained non-commissioned officers, the Bronze Cannon's firing rate is 1 shell/2 minutes. The firing degree of standard arquebus infantry is 1/1 minute.

This degree is not fast.

However, the Japanese ships did not sail fast. Depending on the boat, you can walk about 0.7 kilometers in 1 minute. The maximum distance of the ten Chinese warships was 1.2 kilometers in 1 minute.

The distance between the two sides was already 1 km.

Bloody Sun ordered the Chinese warships to slowly retreat to the north while reloading gunpowder and shells. After the gunpowder was loaded, the Chinese battleship stopped and carried out a second round of shelling.

This time, instead of concentrating a salvo on a certain Japanese warship, they carried out a wide range of scattered artillery fire.

One hundred and twenty cannons on ten Chinese battleships, which fired solid shells in turn. Forty or fifty Japanese warships that rushed to the front were shelled separately ^^ because the shells were scattered. Each Japanese warship was only allocated two or three solid shells at most, and the Japanese warships had water compartments, so it was impossible to sink an enemy ship with one shot.

However, there is another very good effect that can be achieved by doing so, and that is to slow down enemy ships. A water compartment will enter the water, and although the ship will not sink, it will slow down quickly, and it will no longer be able to pursue. Even if you don't penetrate the water trap. It can also cause serious injuries to the non-commissioned officers and sailors on the enemy ship, and plunge the ship into chaos.

Thundered.

The second heavy shelling shook the sea around the Ryukyu Islands.

Forty or fifty Japanese warships that were chasing at the front, almost every one of them suffered two or three shells, and they were full of wailing and wailing. More than 20 of them were knocked through the water barrier and stopped directly. The other twenty or thirty didn't get much better. The taste of flowers on the face is not pleasant, even if you catch up with the Chinese battleship. It can't swing a few percent of the combat effectiveness.

The first vanguard ships in pursuit were hit head-on and suffered severe setbacks, and the more than a hundred Japanese ships behind were terrified. ^^ but they looked at the tens of thousands of Japanese warships behind them, and with the courage of these tens of thousands of warships, they finally mustered up the courage and continued to pursue. They did not believe that these ten Chinese warships could still defeat all the tens of thousands of warships of their Japanese First Fleet.

The Chinese battleship finished a round and continued to go north. Repeat the previous ground shelling action.

After about half an hour of pursuit, the sea calmed down.

More than 200 Japanese warships, the mast is crooked, the deck is dilapidated, the arms and legs are missing, and the corpses are floating all over the sea, three in the east and five in the west, burning with black smoke, drifting on the vast sea for dozens of miles, looking weak, more than a dozen ships are seriously damaged and even about to sink, and the players and soldiers on the ship desperately swim to other Japanese warships and wait for rescue.

The warships that did not sink were also ruined.

Continue the pursuit? There is no degree, even if it is only two or three hundred meters apart, it will never be able to catch up.

On the battlefield of the sea, these crippled warships were even more pitiful than the dead warships. Not to mention dragging down other warships, even if you want to return to the base, it is very difficult. ^^^^ their mobility is too slow, and it takes ten days and half a month to return to the port for repairs. The question is, will the supplies they bring last for more than ten days? If you can't hold on, you will have to get supplies from other ships, which will naturally seriously drag down other ships.

Ten Chinese warships swaggered through the group of crippled Japanese warships, from time to time using arquebuses and infantry to ravage the immobile Japanese warships, and then looked at the Japanese First Fleet more than ten miles away. They simply scrapped more than 200 Japanese warships, large and small, under the noses of tens of thousands of Japanese warships. Not to mention the scrapping, but dare to continue to wander around here and show off their strength.

This was a great shame for the Japanese First Fleet.

However, the huge Japanese First Fleet did not seem to have made any more movements.

The list of the dead of Japan's flagship senior generals does not include Shuichi Tokugawa. He was looking through a telescope on the deck when he suddenly saw a flash of artillery fire from a Chinese battleship. He was a good observer, and at a glance he saw six flashes of light, that is, six cannonballs fired at his flagship. This was just the shelling of one Chinese battleship, and nine more were not fired.

He secretly complained in his heart, and had a premonition that something was wrong, so he immediately did one thing - he jumped into the sea with a wooden plank. By the time the flagship was hit by sixty shells and slowly sank, he had swam hundreds of meters away and got into a small boat that had come to save his life.

Many of the high-ranking Japanese generals who were in the flagship cabin did not escape in time and were drowned in the sea. But he escaped.

His position was that of the lieutenant of the head coach Junichiro Watanabe, a senior general. If no other senior vice admiral had escaped, he would have been the supreme commander of the existing Japanese First Fleet. There was some sadness in his heart, and there was a vague excitement in his heart. This is an opportunity to take over the First Fleet and a great opportunity to show yourself. If he can lead the First Fleet to attack Keelung, Taiwan, then he will no longer be a small vice admiral, but will become a superstar of the generation of powerful Japanese games. No one dares to underestimate his existence anymore Shuichi Tokugawa.

He took a small ship, got on a spare flagship, summoned the middle generals of the fleet, and reorganized the command center of the First Fleet. The original command center has been finished with the flagship, and a new command center has taken over the command of the First Fleet.

But soon, in addition to him, many middle and high-ranking generals also escaped from the flagship. Although their positions are not as high as those of Tokugawa Shuichi, they are also high-ranking generals and are qualified to participate in the highest decision-making power. There were also mid-level commanders scattered across the fleets, who also strongly demanded more power.

The high-ranking Japanese generals were busy fighting for power, and for a time they didn't care about the ten Chinese warships that sank the flagship.

By the time the more than 100 Japanese generals had reassigned their duties, the 10 Chinese warships had already divided the victory from the 200 Japanese warships -- the 10 Chinese warships ravaged the more than 200 half-dead Japanese warships in a victorious manner, and they did not forget to continue to provoke the Japanese First Fleet more than 10 miles away.

All the senior generals, including the new coach Shuichi Tokugawa, were dumbfounded. The formidable combat effectiveness of those ten Chinese warships was beyond their expectations. An impulsive Japanese general was furious, "Yaga, shame, kill them, kill them all!" Otherwise what face do we have when the Japanese vanguard fleet. ”

"Fight, fight! Kill them all, I don't believe they can still kill our First Fleet! ”

More than a dozen Japanese player generals shouted angrily.
