Chapter 842: The Battle of the Strait
"What do we do now?" Spooy will stop the angry general, now is not the time to get angry.
"What can I do?" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu pointed to the strait and said: "I have just crossed the sea with 10,000 people, and there are still 30,000 people at sea. You tell me what to do?! ”
"If you don't get on the boat first, you can't get on the boat again." General Spooyi had already regained his composure and said, "At least these 60,000 people will not be in any danger." ”
"Of course," Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also regained his composure, "but the question is, what about the 30,000 people at sea?" ”
"Since they can't retreat back when they are huddled together, let's simply let them meet the enemy on the spot." General Si Boyi sighed and said in a deep voice: "It's also good to be huddled together, the warships of the Ming army will be blocked inside." When the time comes, the naval battle will turn into a land battle, and won't the 30,000 men play a role?! ”
"Well, you really can't panic." Ashikaga Yoshimitsu nodded, plus there were already 50,000 sailors on 3,000 ships, how could 80,000 people be enough!
"If the ants bite the elephant to death, I don't believe that our 3,000 warships can't help the Ming army!" He gritted his teeth.
At this time, the nearest Japanese troops from the shore could actually be withdrawn, but that would inevitably shake the morale of the army, so the two decided that they could not let them stay at sea because of a small loss.
In order to strengthen the determination of the Japanese army at sea to fight to the death, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu also ordered to send a warlord to the shore, and anyone who dared to return to the sea would be killed!
The Japanese soldiers on the sea cursed when they heard the order, but they could only wind their bows and arrows and prepare for battle.
The mood of the navy is relatively stable, anyway, in this era, they are all fighting broadside battles, and the ships are crowded next to each other, which is not a bad thing, and it is convenient to support each other.
~~
At this time, on the sea to the west of the strait, a huge sail shadow appeared. Immediately after that, a jaw-dropping ship showed its majestic form.
The beacon tower built on the side was dwarfed in front of it, and the scout was right, it was as tall as a castle tower.
Immediately after the second and third, more and more Ming giant ships came riding the wind and waves.
The shogunate's sailors did not give up the attack, they drove the small morning boat to follow the Ming army, and kept shooting arrows at the Ming army, but it was like ants tickling an elephant, to no avail.
A samurai commanded the ship and rushed to the front of the Ming warship, trying to block it, but was directly smashed in two by the Ming ship...... It perfectly interprets what it means to be a mantis arm as a car.
Obviously, it's not that they don't work hard, it's really unstoppable.
The Japanese army's blocking was useless, and the Ming warships lined up in a horizontal line, hung sails along the current, and killed the Japanese army at full speed.
"One hundred and seventy ......" was shocked, General Si Boyi did not forget to count, and it took a long time to count, he muttered: "It is said that the Ming army has a total of 200 warships this time, why are almost all here?" Could it be that they have already eliminated the Kyushu Naval Army? ”
"It's almost ......" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu looked at the warships of the two armies that were a hundred times different in size, and for the first time understood the disparity in the strength of the two naval armies, which could no longer be compared with numbers.
But now, there is no way to change the order, and can only hope that the soldiers will be brave and fearless, and they will resist the strong enemy together.
~~
On the side of the Ming army, after the conquest fleet annihilated the Kyushu naval army, it immediately went north to block the shogunate reinforcements.
Hurry up and hurry, and finally catch up with this feast. Moreover, the sky is beautiful, and it also blows the west wind that the Kyushu naval army can't ask for.
Yu Tongyuan ordered all the sails to be hung to the full, and the sail surface was adjusted to the front to receive the wind.
The strong wind blew the five to seven sails on the Ming army's ship, and the sails all turned into arcs. Coupled with the help of the ocean currents, the huge battleship is getting faster and faster, and the cleaved waves are getting higher and higher, even flush with the deck!
The soldiers were all excited, because the previous battle had made them deeply understand why their highness insisted on building a treasure ship. Ordinary ships run into them, and they are really like paper paste.
Just now, they directly broke through the two defensive lines of the Japanese army without even having time to fire a single shot on a rampage.
This made the morale of the soldiers of the Ming army rise to the extreme, and they rushed into it at full speed without hesitation, in front of them in this dense formation full of straits!
Because the speed was too fast, the Ming army didn't see it, and the scene in front of them was actually caused by the blockage of the ship, and they thought that this was what kind of combined attack they came up with in order to deal with their own giant ship.
Of course, the potential energy of the Ming army's advance was too great, and it couldn't stop the car at all, and if you wanted to stop and take a closer look, there was no such possibility.
As a result, amid the stunned exclamations of the Japanese troops on both sides of the strait, a violent collision occurred.
I saw that those huge Ming warships were like a row of giant elephants rushing into the flock, rampage, unstoppable!
The outermost Japanese ship shattered, and before the sailors and soldiers on board could react, they were thrown into the air by the tremendous momentum, and then screamed and fell into the water with the wreckage.
However, the 'giant elephant herd' is still unabated, continuing to move forward rapidly, ruthlessly trampling the 'flock'.
At every moment, countless Japanese warships were smashed, smashed, and overturned, and countless Japanese soldiers fell into the water screaming.
Let's just put it this way, three thousand Japanese ships blocked the sea surface for nearly ten miles, and the Ming army directly crashed into it for five or six miles, and all the potential energy was absorbed by the Japanese ships, and then they slowly stopped.
Looking at the naval army of the Northern Dynasties, it was rampage by the Ming army, and at least a thousand ships were lost......
Looking at the scene of the super-large ship accident in front of him, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and his pen head Spo Yoshimi numb people.
Spoi will remember the Great Kanto Earthquake when he was a child, and the scene in front of him is similar to that of the time.
Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was too young to encounter a similar scene, and his jaw was about to fall to the ground in shock.
"Fortunately, they were finally stopped...... General Spoy endured the heartache and cheered up the general, "Our remaining two thousand ships are enough to bury them!" ”
"All the people of the Ming Kingdom must be put to death!" Ashikaga Yoshimitsu gritted his teeth and said, "Of course the ship has to stay." ”
In the eyes of the two monarchs and ministers, as long as the Ming warship was stopped, the threat would be much smaller. Then it was time to enter the stage of the Japanese offensive.
The Japanese sailors on the sea also roared excitedly, and pounced on those stationary Ming giant ships from all directions......
But they were too happy, the advantage of the Ming army was only half used, and after the giant ship was launched, the heavy artillery had not yet fired!
With the flagship's trumpet cannon, the Ming gunners, who had already been loaded, lit the lead of the cannon with a fire rope.
In the earth-shattering sound of artillery, the Japanese sailors who frantically pounced on the Ming army were torn to pieces before they could react.
In the distance, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu could clearly see that it was those giant ships that spewed out countless projectiles, like a hailstorm, and wiped out the surrounding Japanese troops......
"It's over...... the monarchs and ministers wailed in unison, this is still a fart.
