But the more heavy the casualties, the more the Japanese wanted to flee quickly, and they simply did not have the courage to resist.

At the mouth of the relatively narrow bay, hundreds of large ships rushed out at the same time, and could only escape through the gaps in the battle line of the Ming ships, and there was only one result - congestion.

The Japanese ships had lost their unified command, and they wanted to cross between the two Ming warships like headless flies, and the adjacent ships were getting closer and closer, and they would inevitably come together.

It is said that the small hull of the Japanese ship is not a big problem to get too close, but with the addition of two rows of long oars like centipede feet, the problem is even bigger.

So before the boat could touch, the oars clicked and entangled. In order to save effort, their oars are fixed on the oars frame, which can only be turned back and forth, and cannot be moved at will. Therefore, once several oars on both sides are entangled, it is difficult to separate them at once.

As a result, both boats got stuck and couldn't go......

This was not just a problem for the two ships, as many Japanese ships were entangled, and the oars were fighting with each other, and no one could move. Seeing that the ship in front stopped, the boat behind couldn't stop at all, so it could only crash into it.

So the linear congestion turned into a large-scale congestion, dozens of Japanese ships were crowded with each other, entangled with each other, and the sailors on the ship cursed and rowed desperately to row the oars, who knew that the more force, the tighter the jam, and no one could get out.

It wasn't until the Ming artillery fired again, reducing most of the warships to pieces, that they solved the congestion problem.

After rushing through the blockade line, the artillery on the other side of the Ming battleship rang out again......

It's still two-faced, it's too wasteful! ’

"It's ...... endless" The Japanese officers and soldiers were already numb, and these strange thoughts came to their minds when the ship was wrecked and the people died:

'I hope to be reborn in the Ming ...... in the next life'

~~

In the end, only four or five hundred Japanese ships escaped back to the anchorage in the waters of Iki Island, and they were all wounded......

This tragic scene stunned the long-awaited Utsunomiya Sadahisa. When I set off, there were more than 2,000 boats, and I only took one night, and I lost three-quarters of them.

He couldn't imagine how this battle was fought, how could it be so badly lost? He immediately ordered the three commanders to be called in for questioning.

But after waiting for a long time, only Otomo's name came to see him.

"What about the other two?" Utsunomiya asked with a dark face.

"Your Excellency Shimazu died heroically, and Your Excellency Matsuura was also seriously injured and fell into a coma." Otomo's name is furious. In the final retreat, the one who suffered the most losses was the Otomo family navy that rushed ahead.

Stealing chickens and making rice make him angry, and vent his anger on Utsunomiya. "Your Excellency is satisfied with this result, right?! This is all caused by your insistence on going our own way and resolutely forcing us to fight! ”

Since they never mentioned that after they saw the red lantern, they temporarily changed their plans and desperately tried to fight for that stubble......

Utsunomiya bowed his proud head in despair. Whatever the experience, this result was indeed caused by his orders. After the war, he could only apologize for his crimes.

He didn't bother to worry about the rest of the matter. After this battle, Utsunomiya has completely lost its leadership over the remnants of the navy, and instead of wasting his time trying to figure out where to go, it makes sense to think about who is the wrong person for him.

The remaining Kyushu naval army has completely lost its fighting spirit. The scene was too tragic to linger in their minds. For several days or even years after the war, the Japanese officers and soldiers who participated in the war often returned to the Asura purgatory-like Hakata Bay in nightmares......

When they were sober, they didn't dare to get close to the Ming army anymore, and it was useless for the Heavenly King Lao Tzu to give orders.

~~

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same, and sometimes the joy of one group of people is still based on the pain of another group of people.

The defeat of the Japanese army was a great victory for the Ming army, and the conquest fleet was full of joy.

Even Yu Tongyuan was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut. The enemy and our warships were 200 against 2,000, and as a result, more than 70% of the enemy was destroyed, and not a single battleship of our own side was lost. There were only 100 dead soldiers, but nearly 30,000 enemies were killed.

This wild victory was enough to make him one of the world's leading players, and it is bound to go down in history. From then on, he was no longer just Yu Tonghai's younger brother, but Yu Tongyuan, a famous general who broke the Japanese army!

The sixth child was very calm about this result. Because in the long river of history, this is not a result worth boasting about.

Later, Yi Sunsin was able to use thirteen banya ships to beat 333 Japanese warships. And it was the Japanese navy that had made great progress through the Warring States period.

Now with 200 heavy artillery ships, he is facing a Japanese naval army that is equivalent to the level of China's Wei and Jin dynasties, and what is so strange about achieving such a result?

"Your Highness, it's a little too much...... Calm down, right? Yu Tongyuan didn't dare to say that he was too pretending, so he couldn't keep his mouth shut and said: "Anyway, this is a complete victory." And we're destroying the Wokos! ”

"Yes, even if it ends here, all aspects can be explained." Han Yike, who accompanied him, also said happily. He was under a lot of pressure before, lest this battle be fought badly and ruin the future of the Prime Minister's Haizheng Yamen.

Now he is not panicked at all, and with this victory, no one can deny the role of the maritime government yamen anymore.

"It's not time to be happy, where is this?" How could the sixth child let them bring the rhythm, and said lightly: "There are bigger battles waiting for us." ”

"Do you dare to come?" Yang Shiqi blurted out in disbelief. After speaking, he hurriedly explained: "What the student means is that after this battle, the Japanese naval army has lost more than seventy percent, and the morale has fallen to the bottom, and I am afraid that there is no courage to fight again." ”

"Hahashiqi, correct you a little," His Royal Highness the King of Chu shook his head and smiled: "Japan doesn't just have a navy in Kyushu." ”

"What Your Highness said is that we are only facing the Kyushu Naval Army, and Kyushu is only a rural part of Japan, and their most powerful Honshu Island Army has not yet been dispatched." Yu Tongyuan hurriedly echoed:

"Your Highness is right, intelligence shows that the land and water army of the Northern Dynasty has long been assembled on the opposite side of the Guanmen Strait, but it has not crossed the sea. Now is indeed not the time to relax. Victory is not arrogant and defeat is not discouraged, and the end will be far behind. ”

"This string can't be loosened yet, so postpone the celebration for the time being, and wait until the next victory to celebrate together." His Royal Highness the King of Chu nodded and said, "Bo Rabbit must also use all his strength, which should become the creed of our Daming Water Master." ”

"Yes!" Yu Tongyuan and other generals hurriedly received the order, remembering His Highness's teachings.

"May I ask the prince, will the army of the Northern Dynasty support the Southern Dynasty?" Han Yike asked. This is unimaginable in Chinese history.

"Definitely." Zhu Zhen nodded categorically and said: "Not to mention that their emperor is actually a family, just say that if the generals of the Northern Dynasty have the ambition to unify, they must not lose their righteousness, and they must help the Southern Dynasty and defend against foreign enemies." ”
