Chapter 271: Yi Sunsin

The night was like water, and dozens of warships docked next to an unknown island in North Korean waters. A burly middle-aged man in armor stood on a board house.

The man's facial features are distinct, his sideburns are like knives, and the most eye-catching thing is a pair of tiger eyes, and no one dares to look at him between the tiger's eyes. This person was none other than Yi Sunsin, the general of the Korean navy.

He was originally a Korean royal family, but unlike other royal families, he did not choose to enjoy comfort in Seoul, but chose to join the army, starting as a small officer, and now he has become the commander of the entire Korean naval army.

It is said that it is a naval army, but in fact, there are less than a hundred warships, and most of them are old and dilapidated, and they cannot be compared with the ironclad battleships of the Japanese army. That's it, they have to be scattered all over the waters of North Korea. Now, there are dozens of broken ships around him,

At this moment, he was looking at his people with a worried expression. He received news that tomorrow the Japanese naval commander Fujido Takatora would lead the warship through the Yupu Sea.

It is roughly estimated that there will be a hundred warships, and there are only a few dozen broken ships on his own. In addition, North Korea has lost seven of the country's eight provinces in less than a year, and he has just received news that Pyongyang has been broken.

This was a great blow to the morale of the entire North Korean army.

Fortunately, though, he wasn't completely unprepared. I saw Li Sunsin shouting to the side: "Li Xuan, you Xuan!" ”

A capable young man immediately ran over with a smile: "Uncle, you called me?" ”

Li Sunsin's face showed a hint of displeasure: "I said it all, you must be called a position in the army." ”

The young man who was called Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then spoke again: "Li Shuai, are you looking for me?" ”

Yi Sunsin nodded, and then asked, "How are the new warships prepared?" ”

Li Xuan patted his chest and said, "Li Shuai, rest assured, everything is ready." Tomorrow I will personally board the ship and go to fight for my life. ”

After hearing this, the corners of Li Sunsin's eyes moistened slightly. This nephew is the most like himself in the royal family, he voluntarily chose to serve in the army, and Yi Sunsin has always cultivated him as an heir.

"That's... Then you should be more careful, remember, don't lose the face of the royal family. Yi Sunsin originally wanted to keep him by his side, but now that the country is shattered, it is precisely the need for them, the children of the royal family, to stand up and let more Korean soldiers and civilians see hope.

Li Xuan smiled at Li Sunsin and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Yi Sunsin stopped Li Xuan.

"What's wrong? Li Shuai? Li Xuan stopped and turned around with a smile.

Yi Sunsin walked up to him, straightened out his somewhat crooked armor, and touched his head. "If we survive, we will still watch the Japanese invaders driven out of North Korean territory."

"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded and ran towards his subordinates.

The next morning, the entire sea was covered with fog, and Yi Sunsin ordered his soldiers to board the warship and head to the Yupu Sea. On that day, the sea was calm and calm, and Yi Sunsin came to an ambush behind a reef.

From a distance, he saw Fujido Takatora leading hundreds of ironclad warships towards their encirclement. A six-foot-tall, armoured man stood atop the main ship and looked out into the ocean ahead. The sea was empty and eerily quiet.

The man had a small mustache under his nose, his hair stood on end, and a katana pinned to his waist, which looked a little funny. The man was none other than Fujido Takatora, one of the commanders of the Japanese navy.

At this moment, he was looking proudly at the open sea in front of him, where even the shadow of the North Korean army could not be seen. They took the whole of Korea in less than a year, and it is estimated that the North Korean sailors have long been frightened.

As soon as he thought of this, the corners of Fujido Gaohu's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, and a smile appeared on his face. Seeing this, the adjutant general next to him immediately patted his ass: "Fujido-kun, I see that the sailors of North Korea dare not come to fight when they hear your name." ”

Fujido Takatora laughed loudly: "Hahaha......" After a long time, he bent down and gently patted the cheek of the deputy general. The adjutant general was confused, so he had to giggle along.

"Inoue-kun, don't praise me too much, otherwise I'll be proud." Fujido Takatora walked to the front of the battleship and said softly.

The man who was called Inoue hurriedly followed, and then patted: "I'm telling the truth, I guess Maori-kun can be comparable to you." ”

Hearing the praise of his subordinates, Fujitang Gaohu Gaohu smiled even more. As for Mori-kun in Inoueguchi, it is Japan's naval commander Mori Terumoto.

He was the largest daimyo in western Japan, and although Toyotomi Hideyoshi nominally unified Japan, many daimyo still listened to the tune and did not listen to it. Mori Huiyuan is one of them.

Seeing that his subordinates compared themselves to him, Fujitang Gaohu was naturally happy.

Fujido Takatora led the fleet forward for another half an hour and came to a narrow sea area. Suddenly, Yi Sunsin led the warship to kill, and immediately the two sides looked at each other several kilometers apart.

Fujido Takatora was startled when he suddenly saw Yi Sunsin's battleship, and when he saw his true face, Fujido Takatora let out a deafening laugh from the standing ship.

"Hahaha......"

Fujido Takatora laughed breathlessly on the boat, and almost didn't take his back on it. Because compared to his ironclad warships, Yi Sunsin's warships were like fishing boats.

Fujido Gaohu didn't take Yi Sunsin's eyes at all, and directly raised his samurai sword and waved, and the warships instantly rushed up together, vowing to crush this living force on the Korean sea.

In order to snatch the first credit, his subordinates even huddled together, almost causing a collision with the ship. Fujitang Gaohu roared angrily, and they began to become orderly.

Seeing from afar that the Japanese were so light on the enemy, Yi Sunsin had a few more chances of victory. Yi Sunsin waved his hand behind him, and more than a dozen Banwu ships rushed towards the fleet of Fujido Gaohu.

When Fujido Takatora's subordinates saw this, they didn't fire their guns, and ran straight towards the Itaya ship. Just as the Itaya ship approached the Fujido Takatora fleet, it suddenly exploded, revealing its original appearance.

I saw that the battleship was wrapped in iron sheets, shaped like a turtle, and the outside was densely covered with countless bullet holes and artillery. It's like a turtle shell.

The perimeter of the turtle shell is also covered with all kinds of iron thorns and nails, just in case someone jumps on the boat and strikes the people on the boat.

Fujido Gaohu didn't care why the other side looked so strange, and yelled: "Shoot!" ”

"Bang bang bang ......bang" Suddenly, tongues of fire erupted from the warship of the Japanese Invaders, "Bang, Bang......" Only the sound of metal collision was heard, and at the same time, the sea was shrouded in a thick white mist.

After the smoke cleared, the turtle boat appeared intact in front of Fujido Takatora's eyes.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" Fujido Gaohu shouted, and then commanded the battleship to continue to rush forward.

"Boom, boom!!"

"Bang, bang, bang......" At this time, the turtle boat also began to fire back. Fujido Takatora's warship was heavily struck, and four of them were sunk in an instant.

Li Xuan's face was crazy, operating the cannon inside a turtle ship, and constantly bombarded towards the fleet of Fujitang Gaohu. "Brothers, kill all these brutes and avenge our people!"

Originally, the firearms and artillery of the North Korean army were of poor quality, and if it weren't for Fujido Gaohu getting so close, the effect was estimated to not be so good.

As soon as they saw it, Fujido Takatora's fleet was shocked by the turtle ships and retreated one after another.

"Don't retreat, don't retreat, gossip." Fujido Takatora looked at the retreating warship and shouted desperately.

"Boom!" A cannonball landed directly in front of his warship, setting off a wave several meters high, and the huge impact force directly caused Fujido Takatora to sit on the ground.

Inoue hurriedly ran over and helped Fujido Takatora up: "Kato-kun, Kato-kun, let's withdraw quickly." The turtle shell of this North Korean sailor is too hard for us to break at all. ”

Fujitang Gaohu was a little stunned by this bombardment, and the whole person was a little confused. He watched as Inoue opened his mouth to himself, but he couldn't hear anything.

"Inoue, you make a loud noise, I can't hear you." As soon as these words came out, the people around looked at each other.

"Fujido-kun, I said, let's retreat." Inoue yelled.

Fujitang Gaohu regained his hearing at this time, only to feel a shock in his eardrums, and said, "Why are you yelling so loudly?" When am I deaf? ”

"Bang, bang, bang......" Gunfire rang out everywhere on the sea, and many of the warships of the Fujido Takatora fleet were sunk.

Seeing that the turtle shell was about to rush towards him, Fujido Gaohu gritted his teeth and roared: "Retreat!! ”

In an instant, Fujido Gaohu's fleet retreated back in a panic, for fear that it would slow down and be caught by this turtle shell. Many of them jumped into the water to escape, but were crushed to death by the turtle boat.

The originally clear sea was stained red with blood, and a raging fire was burning on the sea.

With less than ten warships, Fujido Takatora escaped from the attack range of the turtle ship. He glanced back at the tragic situation and did not dare to stop. He continued to run back for dozens of miles, and after confirming that the turtle boat was not following, he stopped to rest.

At this moment, all the people of Fujitang Gaohu's subordinates looked terrified. It is clear that the new warships of the DPRK gave them a big shock.

As soon as Fujitang Gaohu remembered that hundreds of warships were crowded in the narrow sea just now, he couldn't help but curse angrily: "Baga Press, you group of waste, why are you so close?" ”

A few people didn't dare to speak, because the whole army pressed on it was Fujido Gaohu's own order. Fujitang Gaohu recalled it, and after remembering that it was his own order, his face softened a little and he stopped talking.

Yi Sunsin didn't dare to chase deeply, his turtle ship was moving too slowly. If it is in a wide open sea, it is easy to be attacked by the Japanese fleet from a long distance.

However, this big victory was enough to boost the morale of the army.

In the evening of the same day, Yi Sunsin returned to the island where he was stationed with his men and began to check the damage. The turtle ship damaged five ships, but sank more than ninety warships, which was enough to make Yi Sunsin forget all losses.

Li Xuan took the lead, climbed out of the turtle boat, and bowed his waist and clenched his fists at Li Sunsin: "Li Xuan is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”
