"General General, the main force of the North Korean Naval Division has appeared ahead!"

In the Japanese naval fleet, the first to explore the way, after seeing the huge fleet of the Korean naval division, returned to his main formation as soon as possible and reported to the naval commander Akitomo Kato.

Although Akitomo Kato is the grandson of the famous general Kato Yoshiaki during the Warring States Period, his water battle command ability is actually not as good as Kato Yoshiaki, but in Japan, he can be regarded as the tallest among the shorts.

When he heard the news that the main force of the North Korean Navy Division appeared in front of him, Kato Akitomo couldn't believe his ears for a moment, and the information he received was that except for a small number of warships to defend the outside, the main force of the North Korean Navy Division was involved in the operation of escorting the Xia Army's ships.

But now, the main force of the North Korean Navy Division actually appeared in front of him, could it be that the information he got was a false news deliberately released by the Xia army and the North Koreans?

In any case, the main force of the Korean naval division was in front of him, and he immediately ordered the whole army to form an offensive formation - the Japanese army took the Ataka ship as the general as the core, and the rest of the Ataka ships were guarded around the general ship, and the ships were on the periphery, and the small morning ship was deployed in front.

He tried to take advantage of the maneuverability of the small hayaboat, and broke into the Korean warships in the face of the long-range fire of the Korean sailors, and used weapons such as fire arrows, iron cannons, and baked jade to get into close combat with the Korean sailors, so as to weaken the artillery advantage of the Korean warships.

"Attack!"

As the Japanese fleet launched an attack formation, the Korean naval division also began to change its military formation, with Lee Ang as the vanguard of the turtle ships covered with iron armor and spikes on the outer layer, and the Itaya ships were deployed in the rear, forming a long snake formation, while the sword ships and fierce ships as escorts were deployed between the Banya ships to prevent the Japanese Kozawa boats from breaking through.

Woo –

With the dull sound of the horn, the Korean sailors also took the initiative to attack the Japanese army, and the twelve turtle ships rode the wind and waves in front of them, galloping towards the Japanese warships.

Hearing the roar of artillery fire, columns of water rose around the twelve turtle ships, one of which hit the hull of the turtle boats, but did not break the defense of the turtle boats' hulls, this warship designed by Yi Sun-sin was originally used in the war against the invading Japanese army, and after a jiazi, in the hands of his grandson, it appeared again on the front line of the resistance against the Japanese army.

"Turtle ship, charge!"

In the face of the shelling of the Japanese boat, the turtle boat vaguely seemed to let out a roar full of majesty, and collided head-on with the speeding light small morning boat, the Japanese sailors on the small morning boat looked at the approaching turtle boat in horror and despair, they wanted to turn around and dodge, but it was obviously too late.

The turtle boat hit the small hayaboat head-on, and easily slapped the fragile small hayaboat into pieces, and the Japanese sailors on the boat all fell into the water, struggling desperately, a Japanese sailor watched in despair as the turtle boat continued to move forward after smashing the small hayaya boat, and hit a tall Seki ship, even the Sekibune belonging to the medium-sized warship could not resist the impact of the turtle ship, its bow was smashed, and the impact angle in front of the turtle boat was inserted into the Seki ship, crushing and squeezing the Japanese sailors in the cabin.

At the same time as the turtle ship attacked the Japanese warship, the Korean Itaya ship also turned its bow to meet the enemy with its hull, and in the roar of the officers on board, a heavy gun barrel was pushed out of the gun window, and as the colored flag fell, the lead was ignited, and the cannon made a deafening roar, pushing the dark solid cannonball into the air and whistling towards the Japanese warship!

Bang Bang Bang –

The fragile hull of the Japanese warship was smashed through one after another under the bombardment of cannonballs, the planks flew sideways, many small morning boats and closed ships were heavily damaged, the hull was blasted out of several large holes by the cannonballs, the seawater was frantically poured into the cabin after being inlet by the inlet, and the sailors on the ship screamed and wanted to splash out the seawater that had infiltrated into the ship, but their actions were fast in the inflow of seawater, and the ship gradually sank.

With the participation of the Itaya ship, the Ataka ship also aimed at the more threatening Itaya ship, and the two warships began to break out in an artillery battle, and the number of artillery guns that infiltrated the Ataka ship was not large, but the number of Ataku ships was more than that of the Itaya ship, so the two sides fought evenly for a while.

At the same time as the artillery battle, the Japanese ships Kohaya and Sekibune frantically rushed towards the Korean warships, and their greatest role in naval battles, which were not equipped with artillery, was to get close to the enemy ships and engage the enemy ships in a broadside battle

, using the Japanese sailors' best melee combat to defeat enemy sailors and eventually capture enemy ships.

The twelve turtle ships that broke into the enemy formation suddenly became the target of the fire, and the turtle ships were attacked by fire arrows, projectiles and baked jade from all directions, and the fire arrows did not ignite after hitting the surface of the turtle boat, but were spread out by the iron armor of the shell, not to mention the projectiles, the Japanese iron cannons could not even penetrate the wooden outer panels of the Korean warships, and how could they do the iron armor?

Only the roasted jade could pose a little threat, and the experienced Japanese sailors threw the roasted jade towards the firing ports on both sides of the turtle ship, hoping to throw the roasted jade into the turtle ship and kill and injure its occupants.

A besieged turtle boat became the first casualty, and several North Korean sailors were standing behind the firing port, shooting at the Japanese troops outside, but at this moment, a clay pot was thrown into the cabin along the firing port, and before the North Korean sailors could react, the clay pot began to emit fire and spew deadly poisonous smoke.

"Not good! The roasted jade of the Wako!"

A North Korean veteran found the clay pot, he screamed, and before he could make any move, the flames erupted more violently, and dozens of screams and curses of North Korean sailors rang out in the cabin of the turtle boat, and the sailors shrouded in poisonous smoke opened the exit in pain to escape, but they were killed by oncoming arrows as soon as they appeared.

On the other side, the Japanese warships also faced the Korean battlefield, and the sailors on the Seki ship took their bows and arrows and fired deadly arrows at the Koreans outside, and the Korean sailors on the sword ship shouted and raised their guns to shoot at the Sekikan ship, but were soon killed by the flying arrows.

A sword boat was preparing to start a broadside battle with the small morning boat, but the Japanese sailors in the morning did not speak of martial virtues, and before the battle, they actually lit the baked jade and threw it into the sword boat, the Korean sailors in the sword boat could not react, and were immediately killed and injured by the baked jade, and the sailors who were ignited ran back and forth screaming, jumped into the sea, and became a delicacy for the sharks attracted by the smell of blood.

At the same time that the Korean and Japanese sailors were in a scuffle, on both sides of the battlefield, eight tall warships were riding the wind and waves, galloping towards the battlefield, and the outermost Japanese warships were the first to discover the black spots in the distance, and the sailors like monkeys stood on the well tower of the closed ships and looked into the distance, until the black spots were getting closer and closer, he showed fear and shouted:

"Enemy ships! Enemy ships are coming!"

The speed of news transmission on the battlefield was very slow, especially in the chaotic naval battle, and it was not until the Xia fleet appeared on the periphery of the battlefield, and the outermost Japanese troops could clearly see the Xia army battle flag flying high, that Kato Akitomo finally learned the news.

"Yaga! Why did the warships of the Xia people appear on the periphery? We've definitely been tricked!"

He scolded loudly, scolding while racking his brains to think about how to deal with the sudden appearance of Xia Jun, but by the time he responded, it was already too late.

Unlike the warships of the Japanese and Korean naval divisions, the Xia battleships used sails as power to sail, so they were far faster than the first two, and just when Kato Akitomo was about to give the order to counterattack, the Xia warships had already taken the initiative to surround them.

The ships pointed their sides at the Japanese and North Korean warships in the melee, and the cold guns were pushed out of the gun window, aiming at the Japanese warships crowded together, and then, only listening to the orders of the captains of each ship, the bells in the cabin were sounded, and the gunners on each gun position pulled the ropes, shouted, and pulled the gun ropes violently.

Then, only a series of deafening artillery roars that almost made the sky fade were heard, and hundreds of solid shells whizzed through the air and flew towards the Japanese warships, which immediately seemed to have been hit by dimensionality reduction, and dozens of warships were destroyed by heavy shells, even the Ataka ships, which were heavy warships, could not withstand such terrible intensive shelling.

"Alawasu! What a terrible bombardment, and have we angered Amaterasu and made him punish us by the hand of the Natsu people?"

"Run! To continue fighting is to die, and we cannot die here!"

This round of intensive artillery bombardment by the Xia army directly broke the Japanese army's will to fight, and the outermost warships turned around one after another and retreated outside the battlefield without authorization, and the unauthorized escape of the Japanese warships on the periphery also triggered a series of chain reactions.

It's like

Dominoes are like dominoes, more and more Japanese warships are actively leaving the battlefield and fleeing in the direction of no enemy, Kato Akitomo watched those warships fleeing without permission jumping like thunder, he brandished the katana in his hand, slashed indiscriminately in the air, and cursed those cowards loudly.

However, scolding and scolding, Kato Akitomo still knew that his life was more important, so he decisively ordered the whole army to organize a retreat in an orderly manner, and to retain the strength of the naval army as much as possible to evacuate from the naval divisions of Xia and Korea.

But how could the Korean naval division allow the Japanese army to retreat safely, Li An personally drove the general's ship to pursue the Japanese army, seeing the general's ship rushing to the front, the morale of the Korean naval division was high, and they rushed forward after it, ramming and firing at each other, just to leave the Japanese warship in this sea area.

And the Xia army also approached the warship, they approached, while firing at the Japanese warship, many Japanese warships were heavily damaged by artillery fire when they were evacuated, slowly sinking downward, and more were injured, but they still held on and wanted to escape.

The pursuit did not last long, and both Chen Zhaojun and Li An remembered that their mission was to escort the warships to Kitakyushu, so after defeating the main Japanese army, they gathered the warships, salvaged the Japanese sailors who had fallen overboard, and counted the results and losses.
