0667 Fight Again

While cutting off their flying claws, the sailors on the ship kept firing firebolts and crossbow arrows downwards to stop the Japanese soldiers from climbing! But even so, those Japanese soldiers were still fearless to die, and kept trying to climb onto the ship along the rope! However, the turbulence of the ship and the dense plumbing feathered arrows rained down the climbing Japanese soldiers!

Liu Haojia saw that the two cruisers could still deal with it, and he still struggled to rush out to the periphery, and he barely put his mind at ease! However, he had already made up his mind in his heart that in the future, this new type of warship would have to be produced more, and only three cruisers would not be able to exert their combat effectiveness at all!

However, the cost of this new ship is also distressing to him! The copper used to cast the cannon alone knows how much it costs! Counting the boats, the accessories are a big number! But in order to open up the sea route in the future, the money that should be spent still has to be spent!

Thinking of this, Liu Haojia turned his head to look at the battlefield, and at this time, the two sides on the battlefield were completely crazy! Especially the Japanese are even more crazy! After all, their own flagships have been set on fire, how can they not be crazy!

At this time, the fiercest battle on the battlefield was still the Ming fleet, and the people who led them were Ordering and Zhang Zhiyong. So the style of operation of the two detachments is very different!

Li Wenliang took advantage of the large number of firearms on his own ships to fight steadily, let his own ships be two or three in a team, cover each other, cover each other, strive to keep a certain distance from the Japanese people, and use the advantage of firearms to constantly weaken the opponent!

And occasionally organize a few ships to fight a counter-assault, surround one or two ships and beat them hard, and then set fire to the ships when they retreat! In a short period of time, one or two enemy ships can return to the battle line, quite a general's style!

And Zhang Zhiyong is another state. Don't look at this person's unscrupulous words, but he is extremely brave when he fights! It's basically a head-to-head battle against the Japanese people!

The number of large ships on both sides was about the same, but the Ming army suffered a loss, and there was no way to carry small boats when they were on a long voyage, so they always had to face a siege of two or three times as many ships. And Zhang Zhiyong took advantage of the high freeboard of his own ship to deliberately slow down and lure the Japanese to attack! Then keep killing and injuring the opponent while the Japanese are climbing and attacking!

And this guy is so violent, so excited that he actually uses himself as bait! He led the fleet to force its way into the warband, and fought around an Ataka ship. And the Japanese were expecting them to approach, and when they saw him approaching, a large number of flying claws were thrown at him and held his ship firmly!

When those Japanese people were happy, they couldn't imagine that this was Zhang Zhiyong's calculation at all! After the two ships got closer, the Anzhai boat put down the wooden shield and took Zhang Zhiyong's ship, and then more than a dozen samurai with soldiers rushed onto the boat, but Zhang Zhiyong led people to cut down the flowers and water, and instead attacked the Anzhai ship!

It turned out that Zhang Zhiyong actually ordered all the soldiers on the ship to wear armor, and he himself and more than ten personal soldiers were even more heavily armored! So in hand-to-hand combat, it is natural to have the upper hand in the big battle!

When the other Japanese saw that the two ships were connected, they started a broadside battle that they consciously knew, so they naturally approached the rear of the Ataku ship to mobilize people to get on the boat immediately. And Zhang Zhiyong naturally has a large number of sailors boarding the ship to fight, so this house ship has become a place of flesh and blood full of corpses! If it weren't for Zhang Zhiyong, who often threw corpses into the sea here, I am afraid that there would not even be a place to put his feet!

But Zhang Zhiyong is not a simple fighter, when he attracted a large number of Japanese people, the fleet under his command according to his instructions, specially shelled those reinforced Japanese ships on the periphery! After clearing the deck with artillery, he set fire to the ship, and there were no less than 20 large and small ships burned by him! Therefore, in the entire battlefield, Zhang Zhiyong has the most results here, but his own casualties are also the largest!

At this time, the cannon rumbled on the battlefield, and the sound of fire and iron cannons was endless! The black smoke from the burning of the ships hovered above the sea, and then mixed with the gunpowder smoke, making the entire battlefield like a thick fog!

However, as far as Liu Haojia is concerned, he still has the upper hand! Now they have lost seven or eight boats in their own epidemic house, and the losses on the part of the Japanese are at least four times that of themselves!

At this time, the other two Zhang Jia had already escaped the siege of the Japanese and chased after them, although the hull was mottled and damaged, but it seemed that the loss was not large! However, there was a dark spot on the third cruiser, which seemed to have been set on fire!

Seeing this scene, Liu Haojia was also secretly frightened! If it weren't for the carelessness of the Japanese people this time, they chose one

Fighting on the open sea, their own cruisers are really in danger of being surrounded and killed!

It must be known that at this time, both the ships of the Ming army and the Japanese were all sailing oarboats, and one of the major characteristics of this sailing oarboat was that it accelerated and turned extremely fast in a short time! The newer cruisers, on the other hand, had no oars and relied on the power of the wind to operate.

Although the speed of the sailing boat is much higher than that of the sailing boat after the wind, it is not as agile as the sailing boat in terms of steering and acceleration in a short time! If you are blocked in a narrow area, it is likely to be a besieged situation!

In the near future, the sea merchant Zheng Yiguan and the Westerners won the battle, which was to lure them into the bay, use the terrain to limit the maneuverability of the sail warship, and then use the small boat to besiege them to win the battle!

Thinking of this, Liu Haojia wrote down this experience and ordered the fleet to turn around and rush to the battlefield again. But this time he did not dare to approach the center of the battlefield again, because next to the ship of Birch Mountain Hisagao were twenty or thirty Japanese ships of all sizes gathered, and soldiers kept rushing on the boat to help extinguish the fire, but with little effect, after all, it was refined fire oil, not ordinary goods.

So Liu Haojia cut through the periphery and bombarded the opponent's ships with the artillery on the lower deck, and the artillery and deck guns on the upper deck were loaded with shotguns to kill and injure people! Along the way, the guns of the three cruisers fired one after another, and the ships that were busy with rescue were scarred!

Just when they circled around the center of the battlefield for most of the time, the news that Birch Mountain was busy for a long time finally spread among the Japanese people! Now their already low morale has completely collapsed! Some of the ration ships that had not participated in the battle on the periphery were the first to begin to retreat. But their retreat made a bad start, and some of the Japanese ships that had already broken their courage also began to retreat!

Liu Haojia was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered a counteroffensive on all fronts with drums and trumpets, and at the same time asked everyone to leave as many Japanese ships as possible! and sent two other patrol ships to reinforce the pirate side.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army had already noticed that the fighting spirit of the Japanese people was not high, and their morale was even higher when they heard the order of their master to counterattack in an all-round way, and even the loading of artillery was a little faster! However, it didn't matter if the Ming army returned to attack, but it stopped the ships on the battlefield that could not be evacuated!
