797, the terrible weapon Smecta
Yi Yun took the Nine Ghost Jialong girls in his boat and sailed north along the Goryeo Peninsula, where the Maosan Iron Mine was in the northernmost mountains of North Korea, and Yi Yun estimated the voyage, considering how much time it would take him to transport ore from here to Shanghai, and how much capacity he would have. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of gunfire in front of him, and it seemed that a fierce battle was taking place on the sea in front of him.
The destroyer sailed forward for a while, and the situation on the sea in front finally fell into view, and sure enough, there was a naval battle going on here, about two dozen Fuso ironclad ships were fighting with eighteen Goryeo turtle ships, and the shadows of the ships on the sea were staggered, and the rumbling cannons kept ringing.
Although the Fuso ironclad ship is very awesome, it is actually a very small broken ship, which can only hold three guns on it, and the power is extremely low, but the turtle ship is a large and medium-sized warship that can hold 22 guns.
The two sides went back and forth, banging happily, and Fusang's side was almost completely beaten, and he was beaten all over his head. Yi Yun saw that those turtle ships not only had an advantage in firepower, but also had an advantage in speed, advancing and retreating, like an arm command, and Fusang's ironclad ships really had no way at all except to be beaten passively.
The Nine Ghosts shouted, "Ah, that's Murakami-sama's fleet! ”
"Murakami Takeshi?" Yi Yun felt that the name was very familiar, and finally remembered that this was a small samurai he had subdued (see chapter 504), which belonged to the leader of the Fusang Murakami Water Army, and it seemed that this time he went to Fuso, of course, as a person who guarded Kyushu, he also had to come to join the tiger, but he was beaten by Li Sunsin here, full of pity.
Fuso is a nasty country though. But the country of sticks is even more annoying, because Fusang has the strength no matter how much he hates it, but the stick is the type that doesn't have the strength to roar, today say that your Dragon Boat Festival is mine, tomorrow say that Qu Yuan is Korean, and the day after tomorrow even Confucius will become a Korean, why be polite to this kind of clown?
Yi Yun snorted and ordered, "Let's go to war too!"
"Yes!" In the command room, the person in charge of operating this destroyer was the long-lost leader of the bandits, Luo Legmao, after many years. The hair on his legs, which had been shaved off by Iyun, had regained his youth. It's dark and thick, full of two legs. The guy deliberately wore shorts, exposed his leg hair, and put one foot on the table, shouting, "Lori." Full speed ahead!"
"Lori?" Yi Yun was furious: "Why did you give Lao Tzu's destroyer such a name?"
Luo Leg Mao laughed and said: "Li Huamei's big Meng is tens of thousands of tons. I'm a thousand-ton ship compared to her big ship. Isn't it just a little Lori? It's just right to call it Lori. ”
Yi Yun thought about it and felt reasonable: "Okay, it's called Lori." ”
Luo Leg Hair laughed and said, "There is my Luo Leg Hair on the Lori." Abbreviation: Lori has leg hair. ”
"I'll wipe it!" Yi Yun flew up and kicked Luo Leg Mao to the ground: "Don't insult a cute creature like Lori." ”
At this time, the Lori had already rushed to the battlefield, and the Goryeo Turtle Ship and the Fuso Ironclad Ship were both startled by this sudden attack of the behemoth, and in the eyes of Yi Yun, a thousand-ton destroyer could only be regarded as Lori, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this was a super ship.
Because the total length of the Lori is 96 meters, the width is 8.96 meters, and the draft is more than 3 meters deep. The Goryeo turtle ship is only about 35 meters, and the Fuso ironclad ship is even smaller, only about 21 meters, which is several times different from Yiyun's destroyer, and the turtle ship and the ironclad ship are made of wood, but they are just covered with a layer of iron on the outside. But the Lori is a pure steel structure, and just looking at it is enough to scare a group of hillbillies to death.
The Goryeo sticks shouted in fright, and the Fuso Navy cheered after seeing the flag hanging on the Lori: "It's Lord Kyushu Shou, wow, Lord Kyushu Shou came to help in person." ”
Hearing the cheers of the Fusang people, the Koreans understood that this was the enemy's reinforcements......
On the flagship of this ironclad fleet, a middle-aged man with a goatee is looking at the Lori with a heavy face, he is the last hope of the Goryeo people, the Jeolla Left Provincial Naval Envoy, Yi Sunsin. Unlike the successive defeats on land, the Goryeo naval army has always suppressed the Fusang naval army, and the reason for this is that this man named Yi Sunsin invented the turtle boat, and with his excellent command ability in water warfare, defeated the Fusang fleet one after another, seriously interfering with the logistics and supply of the Fusang army. But even so, Goryeo was still a dead country...... Now he is fighting alone, and he just wants to fight hard to kill a few more enemies and die enough.
Seeing the big iron ship coming, Li Sunsin was secretly shocked in his heart, but there was no panic on his face, and he ordered loudly: "That big iron ship looks like it is difficult to penetrate, let's ignore him for now, just kill the Fusang people with all our might, kill all the Fusang people, the big iron ship is lonely, so we can only surrender Smecta." ”
"General, what if this big iron ship hits us?" asked one of the stick soldiers.
"If he hits us, he will avoid Smecta with high speed. Yi Sunsin said.
"Yes!"
Li Sunsin snorted coldly, and released his profession, he was actually a fifth-order "fleet commander", one order higher than Li Huamei's fourth-order "admiral", which was quite powerful.
The dark golden light enveloped all the turtle boats, and I saw that the speed of these turtle ships increased dramatically in an instant, and the wooden warships of the Sail Age could generally only reach a speed of more than a dozen knots, but at this time, the turtle ships all reached twenty knots, and even some of them reached twenty-five knots.
"While avoiding the enemy's big iron ships, bombard the Fuso ironclad ship Smecta!" Yi Sunsin ordered in a loud voice, his men waved their flags, and eighteen turtle boats scattered in all directions, maneuvering and nimble to give the Fuso naval army a head-on attack.
At this time, the Lori was already close, and I saw a sudden muffled noise next to the Lori, and then a strange, blackfish-like thing was launched from the Lori, breaking through the waves, bringing up yellow sand and dust, and crashing into a turtle boat.
"What's that?" cried the Goryeo stick soldiers.
"Looks like a fish?"
"Is there a fish that swims so fast?"
Yi Sunsin had never seen such a strange thing, but when he saw it crashing into his flagship at a rapid speed in the sea of sand, he couldn't help but shout, "Don't care what it is, don't let it touch us, or something might happen to Smecta." ”
The flagship hurriedly disguised, but it was too late to turn around, and even with his commanding skills, the speed of the ship in the sail era was not enough to avoid the torpedo, and this 530-mm torpedo accurately hit the belly of Yi Sunsin's turtle ship......
Only a click of broken wood was heard, and the torpedo pierced through the belly of the ship, passed through, and then pierced through the belly of the ship on the other side, and with another click, pierced directly......
"I'm dizzy!" Yi Yun on the Lori jumped up: "My torpedo obviously hit the enemy ship, why didn't it explode?
"What a cheat, is the result of the cannon hitting the mosquitoes so tragic?" Yi Yun screamed in the sky.
At the same time as he was screaming, Yi Sunsin was also screaming: "When the enemy saw that our turtle ship was wearing iron armor, he fired a cannonball that could swim in the sea, piercing the belly of our ship, what a terrible weapon Smecta." "If he had known that this cannonball would actually explode, and that one shot would have blown his turtle boat to smithereum, he would have been glad that he had saved his life.
At this time, Yiyun found that the torpedo was ineffective, and had begun to change to other weapons, the Sampson-class destroyer had a total of four 102 mm caliber main guns, as well as two 6.5 mm single machine guns, the armament was very simple, in the naval battle, it mainly relied on torpedoes to attack enemy warships, but when the torpedo was ineffective, it had to be replaced with a 102 mm tattered main gun, fortunately, such a main gun was more than enough to deal with the Goryeo sticks, and the group of sticks were still using smoothbore guns.
"Boom!" The four 102-mm guns spit out angry flames at the same time, and because the Goryeo turtle ships were all maneuvering at a speed of more than 20 knots under the influence of Yi Sunsin's "fleet commander" skill, two of the four guns missed, and only two of the guns successfully hit, and only two explosions were heard, and the two turtle ships turned into flames and went deep into the sea of sand in an instant.
"What a powerful cannon Smecta. Yi Sunsin was taken aback.
"General, what are we going to do?" said one of the stickmen, frightened.
Yi Sunsin said loudly: "Retreat, we are originally fighting guerrillas, we don't have to fight to the death with the enemy, since we have encountered the enemy's powerful warships, we should quickly retreat for Miaosmecta." ”
"Yes, the general is wise. The stick soldier hurriedly gave the order in the language of the flag.
The remaining sixteen turtle boats began to desperately escape, and although Yi Sunsin's flagship was torpedoed, it was still able to sail with a huge cork plug in the pierced belly. In this world, because cork stoppers have created oases and formed cultures, there are strong cork beliefs all over the world, and they like to make many things into the shape of cork stoppers, such as this kind of thing that temporarily plugs the bottom of a boat, which is how it was invented.
Yi Yun didn't know that the ship was the flagship, if he knew, he would have killed Li Sunsin with one shot, he commanded the Lori to chase around, and turned the slow escape stick turtle boats into fireballs one after another, fortunately Li Sunsin escaped quickly and took away ten turtle ships, if he had to resist desperately like the original Red Beard, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave one.
