0666 Kill the main general
Then Liu Haojia turned his gaze to the right wing, wanting to see the performance of those pirates, but he was very disappointed!
On the right flank, the pirate ships have an absolute advantage, but they can never attack from all sides! In the center of the battlefield, there are two Ataka ships that slowly turn their heads and tails, controlling a large area of the sea. The ship's barrels and iron cannons fired constantly, driving away the pirate's ships.
The other Sekifune and Kozafune relied on the two Ataka ships to attack left and right, and once they suffered a major blow, they would immediately withdraw, retreat to the back of the two Ataka ships to clean up and reorganize, and then rush out, giving full play to the advantages of the tall hull of the Ataka ship, the large number of people and firearms!
In fact, Liu Haojia also saw that if the pirates were really determined to attack, they would be able to eat each other by sacrificing more manpower and ships. It's just that the pirates don't belong to each other, and they all have their own thoughts, and they are all afraid of damaging their own strength, so they have delayed the battle until now.
However, Liu Haojia also knew that this matter could not be forced, and when he found that although the pirates could not win, he no longer paid attention to self-preservation. Now he only hopes that the pirates can contain that part of the navy, and he is sure that little by little, he will gradually chop up and eat the Shimazu family's navy!
By this time, the three cruisers had already rushed far out of the battle line and began to turn around again. This time, Liu Haojia chose a weak part and rushed in again! Along the way, artillery, firearms, bows and crossbows were fired in unison, and all the Japanese ships along the way were intensively attacked!
He even deliberately commanded the warships to cut to the center of the battlefield, and carried out intensive artillery bombardment on the Japanese sailors who were besieging his fleet, and scattered them in an instant! Then, after the three cruisers penetrated the battle line, they once again shook off the pursuing Japanese warships with the advantage of speed, and then turned around again and rushed into the battle group!
After five consecutive attacks, the Japanese naval army could not resist, and there were already signs of collapse! At this time, Liu Haojia decided to take a risk, hit the core of the battle group, and accelerate the collapse of the Shimazu family's naval army!
Liu Haojia gave an order, and the three cruisers rushed into the battle group under the siege of the official ship and the small morning boat, and the direction was directed at the flagship of Huashan Jiugao! The Japanese Naval Army immediately discovered his idea and gathered like crazy to rescue the flagship! There were even ships that directly tried to block the channel to block the advance of the cruiser!
Liu Haojia's flagship was still stopped by a closed ship after dodging left and right, and the oarsmen on the ship kept adjusting the position of the ship, blocking the route of the cruiser! Seeing this, the surrounding Japanese people cheered loudly, lamenting the loyalty of the samurai on the ship, and at the same time stepped closer to besiege them!
But they underestimated how strong the cruiser was! The bow of the cruiser in front of them was reinforced and had ramming angles!
Liu Haojia saw that he couldn't dodge, so he turned his heart sideways and ordered to bump into it! Then I heard a loud "bang", followed by a series of tooth-aching sharp rusting sounds and a "click" of broken wooden boards!
When the two ships collided, the bow of the cruiser was directly embedded in the waist of the ship! And as the cruiser advances, the embedded reading continues to deepen! Moreover, the hull of the cruiser is far larger than that of the ship, and it is actually moving forward against the ship!
And there is only one biggest weakness of the Japanese ship, that is, there is no keel! The absence of a keel means that the hull does not have a body subjected to force, and all the pressure can only be borne by the place where it is impacted by external forces! In this way, the ship was carried forward by the cruiser for a distance of less than a few dozen steps, and it was directly broken into two at the place where it was hit! And the cruiser rushed over with broken wood and overboard Japanese soldiers!
Seeing the destruction of their own warrior ship, those cheering widows were instantly shocked, and the cheers in their mouths also stopped abruptly! There are even more Japanese people who knelt directly on the board of the boat and wept! However, when the people's army saw the majestic posture of its own commander, they rushed up one by one and began to cheer loudly, and the whole battlefield actually paused for a moment!
Crushed the ship, Liu Haojia's ship finally approached the place where Huashan Jiugao sat on the ship for more than 60 steps! Just when the two sides were staggered, the ship's artillery fired intensively! The sailors on the deck even fought back with bows and arrows and iron cannons! For a while, sawdust flew on the ship!
Under the heavy shield of the family, Liu Haojia looked at the opposite side through the gap in the shield, and saw that on the deck in the open air opposite, a samurai dressed in the best clothes of the world was still brandishing a knife and directing the soldiers to fight back! Liu Haojia guessed
This person is probably the general of the Shimazu family's naval army!
Just as he was about to give the order to get rid of this man, someone had already spotted him! So the officer immediately organized a salvo of firearms, and also mobilized an artillery gun to aim!
As more than a dozen guns and cannons fired almost at the same time, Hisakama Hisaka, who was wielding a knife, seemed to have been slashed by lightning several times, and his body shook several times before falling to the ground! Liu Haojia was very happy to see this, and he seemed to know that he was going to die!
But it's a pity that Liu Haojia didn't know that this person was Kayama Hidaka, but he guessed that he was the general of the Shimazu family, if he knew that this person was Kajiyama Hisaka, I was afraid that he would have to celebrate! After all, he knew what this man was doing.
After seeing this, Liu Haojia put down his binoculars and said loudly, "Order the No. 2 and No. 3 ships to burn!"
After receiving the order, the two cruisers behind deviated slightly from the course, and constantly fired artillery to bombard the Japanese ships that approached and rushed towards the ship of Kayama Hisadaka! In the blink of an eye, it was closer to a distance of more than 20 steps!
At this time, the Japanese people did not know that their own general had been killed, and when they saw that the two cruisers were pointing at the flagship of the general general, they gathered like crazy to protect the flagship, and even the ships chasing Liu Haojia turned back! Seeing this, Liu Haojia was even more sure that the person who died just now must have a great background!
After the two Zhang Jia approached, the soldiers braved the dense bows and arrows and lead bullets to throw the oil jar at a rapid pace! Those jars are not filled with gunpowder commonly used by the Ming army, but the product refined by Liu Haojia! It is roughly equivalent to low-grade gasoline, and once ignited, the fire is extremely violent!
So by the time the two cruisers passed by sticking to the flagship of Hisataka Kasama, there was already a raging fire on it, and half of the hull was beginning to burn! However, these two cruisers were also vigorously counterattacked by the Japanese people! There were five or six Japanese ships around each of the two ships!
For a time, countless flying claws were thrown onto the boat, and they were connected by the Japanese soldiers and their own boats, as if an ox was dragging a few plowshares in the field, drinking joy and dragging the Japanese boat forward!
