0323 Battle of Tsushima under the Battle of Tsushima

"Boom, boom, boom......" A thunderous roar rang out.

A distance of 500 meters is a trench for a bow and arrow and even most crossbows, and for a gun with a range of 1,500 meters, it is almost equivalent to stuffing a cannon barrel into the mouth.

The outermost six ships of the Baekje Army were smashed like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and two of the more unlucky ones were directly hit by the waterline and sank on the spot.

The rest of the ships, although not yet sunk, were also beaten and destroyed. The mast of a ship was broken by a cannonball, and when it fell, it hit an adjacent ship.

Wailing, screaming, and crying came and went, and the ship was littered with mutilated corpses, like a living purgatory.

And that's not all, a lot of shells crossed the first row and hit the ships in the second and even the third row.

In just one round of shelling, more than a dozen warships were maimed and wounded.

Mu Lie's mouth opened wide, and he looked at this scene in a daze, in fact, he had doubts about the words of Zhenxiongli and Jie Longyun before.

It's not that I doubt that the Tang Army has such exaggerated weapons, but the power may not be so terrifying.

It's all too common for the two to deliberately tell lies to justify their failures.

So he still had a hint of fantasy in his heart, he still had two hundred warships, four times the number of the Tang army, and it was not that he had no chance to win.

This round of shelling completely shattered all his illusions.

In the face of such an unknown weapon of terror, what numerical superiority is a complete joke.

There were many people who saw this scene, and even if they didn't see it far away, they heard the rumbling.

The rumors of the previous came flooding back into their hearts, and the hearts of the Baekje soldiers began to feel uneasy, and a wave of panic quickly spread.

Especially those who saw the power of the cannon with their own eyes, their hearts and galls were broken, and not running away directly was already a sign of good training.

Mu Lie also showed the qualities of a good general, and quickly came back to his senses and shouted: "Order, let the speedboats drive those four boats, quickly." ”

But as soon as his words fell, the "boom" sounded again.

Mu Lie's expression was stunned, his eyes showed a look of despair, and the time of a few words was a round of attacks, and this interval was too short.

Originally, he thought that it would take at least a cup of tea or a quarter of an hour to launch a second attack, but now the interval was not even a fifteenth of a quarter.

Such a powerful weapon with such a short attack interval...... He couldn't think of any way to deal with it.

Because of the use of anti-recoil gun mounts, the artillery of the Don Army could do two rounds per minute.

This is still Wang An's consideration of the life of the artillery and slowing down the firing frequency, otherwise the real power will make him more desperate.

In fact, it's enough to be desperate right now.

After four rounds of shelling, the Baekje army was completely demoralized, and the ships close to the side of the gunboats fled as if they were dead.

A boat is not like a car that can turn and go backwards at will.

At such times, the only way for them to escape was to turn to the left, but on the left side was the main side of the army.

When these ships crossed into the camp, the consequences were comparable to a series of major car accidents.

Seeing this scene, Mu Lie closed his eyes in pain, it's over, it's all over.

This battle was a complete joke, and the Tang army was wiped out without even touching the edge.

Tang Guo, how many terrifying weapons does he have? Why do you have so many weapons? Why is God so unjust?

"General, what should I do?"

"General, give the order to run."

"Back to Tsushima Island, we can still defend the island, and the Tang Army's ships will not be able to go ashore."

"Yes, yes, give the order to retreat, General."

Mu Lie laughed miserably: "Back to Tsushima Island? And then what? Without supplies, only enough food to eat for seven days, go to the island and wait for death? ”

The adjutant general said anxiously: "That's better than waiting for death here." ”

Mu Lie shook his head and said, "Order, let everyone run separately, run as much as you can." Don't go to Tsushima Island, you are looking for death if you go there. If you have the chance, run to Baekje and tell the king about the situation here. ”

The adjutant general's face was happy, it didn't matter where he fled, as long as he was willing to flee, he would immediately give the order to escape.

He even personally ran to urge the shipwright of the flagship to run to the left, away from the mysterious battleship of the Tang Army.

However, for the sake of safety, Mu Lie and others unanimously decided to put the flagship in the center of the fleet.

In this way, the mysterious weapon of the Tang army could not attack them at the first time.

It was originally made for safety, but now it has become a shackle, and there are boats all around that can't run away at all.

The lieutenant general listened to the rumbling cannon, and said fiercely: "Crash, knock all the boats that are blocking in front of you." ”

The flagship he was treading on was Baekje's largest warship, fifty meters long, and anyone in front of him could knock it out.

Sure enough, as he thought, the twenty-meter-long boat on the side was easily knocked away.

It's just that in places he didn't see, there was a 'creaking, crunching' sound from the violent operation of the ship.

In normal times, the sailors in the cabin would report the situation, but now everyone is in a state of panic, and no one notices the anomaly.

Or if you find out and ignore it, what could be more important than running away.

Wang An found that the enemy's entire army had collapsed, how could he be polite, and the four gunboats took turns firing and sank the enemy ships one by one.

"Send a message to the main force and ask them to send a detachment to Tsushima Island to watch and prevent the Baekje army above from escaping on a small sampan."

"The rest of the warships are surrounding the enemy ships on the perimeter, remember that this time it is mainly to surrender. These are all young and strong, good labor, it's a pity to kill them. ”

Shi Qin tried to say: "Brigade Commander Lin and the reinforcements from Lanzhou Island are estimated to be nearby, why don't you let them come over too?" ”

Wang An patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't eat alone, this consciousness plus military merits, your hope for the next election of the regiment commander is very great." ”

Shi Qin said in surprise: "It's all taught by the brigade commander." ”

Wang An smiled: "Okay, go and give the order, let Brigade Commander Lin and them come over to hunt." ”

Others have come from thousands of miles to support, and you have taken the credit yourself, who will deal with you in the future? Eating meat yourself also allows others to drink some soup, so that it can be mixed for a long time.

In the sea area that everyone can't see, hundreds of warships are silently sailing on the sea, and they are the Tang State Support Naval Division.

The gunboat is very powerful, but it has never been used in actual combat, how could Wen Yi and the Privy Council be so relieved to let Wang An fight alone.

Two brigades were temporarily dispatched to support, counting Lin Xingzhu's brigade stationed on Treasure Island, in fact, the Tang Army dispatched 20,000 troops and more than 200 warships.

The reason why they did not directly participate in the battle was to test the real combat effectiveness of the gunboats.

Lin Xingzhu said enviously: "Wang An's luck is too good, after this battle, he will surpass all of us in the ranking." ”

Lu Yan said: "Yes, who makes the family lucky, let's rotate every year, and this year it is his turn, and the credit for sending it to the door." ”

Liu Meng smiled: "As far as I know, the ranking of the two of you is originally the first and second from the bottom, what does the rise of Wang Arrange's name have to do with the two of you." ”

The two of them were immediately choked.

The so-called ranking is a comprehensive ranking such as military merit and seniority, and the higher the top, the greater the probability of the next round of promotion. Although it is not 100% accurate, it has great reference value.

Lin Xingzhu said sneeringly: "It doesn't matter if the two of us are the brigade commander, the main thing is you, the brigade commander, we are fighting for you, you are the first brigade commander of our army......"

Liu Meng laughed and scolded: "You pull it down, you have a bad stomach." ”

Then Zhengse said: "Brigade Commander Wang is not a person who eats alone, if the war goes well, he should notify us to enter." ”

As soon as the words fell, a fast boat came from afar: "Brigade Commander Wang asks the generals to assist in the battle. ”

Liu Meng smiled: "How about it, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived." Don't leave me alone, go back to your own boat. ”
