Chapter 422: Zhu Yuanzhang endured it so that his face didn't hurt, Wang Baobao won the championship in the first battle, and Lord Ye was still as stable as Mount Tai!

"What is he going to do here?"

"Look at the ships docked next to each other in the inner harbor, they have all caught up with the Battle of Chibi."

"He let his handsome ship go straight to the enemy ship in the center of the opponent, what is he going to do?"

“.”

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already taken the monoculars, stood on the deck, stood on tiptoe, looked at Wang Baobao's handsome ship, and rushed straight towards so many ships on the other side.

He looked at the scene in front of him, and only felt like a general who had already fought to one person, and for the sake of his dignity, he single-handedly rushed into the army.

If it is on land, there must be only one result of this mode of warfare.

That is to earn the respect of your enemies!

But in addition to winning the enemy's respect for himself, there is only one corpse left, which is not complete!

There are fierce generals in the world who can monopolize 100 people, but there will never be a fierce general who can defeat 10,000 people.

Not to mention people, even if 10,000 chickens are lined up to be killed, they can exhaust people to death.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this is true of the fierce general, and the same is true of this advanced giant warship.

In the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's pessimism and worry, Xu Da still chose to remain silent.

He really wanted to support Wang Baobao and wanted to say that Wang Baobao did a good job, but he also knew that judging from the current situation, he couldn't say that Wang Baobao did a good job.

The only thing he could do for Wang Baobao was to be extremely silent and serious.

And Zhu Di on the side, like Zhu Yuanzhang, is not optimistic about Wang Baobao's fighting style of fighting wolves alone.

But because this style of play, which was not favored by him, was only implemented with the permission of his master Ye Qing, he also chose to remain silent.

But at this very moment,

Ye Qing didn't bother to look at the excited and declining Master Guo, and said impatiently: "You said that it was like the Battle of Chibi, how could it be a loss?" ”

"Before the results come out, you can put forward your own opinions pertinently, but you can't sing down before you fight like predicting the future!"

"This is not what a qualified general should do!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, although he was angry, he also knew that it was useless to get angry now.

Because on this ship, if he Ye Qing is really angry, he Zhu Yuanzhang will only be thrown off the boat to feed the fish.

But the voice in his heart is not missing at all.

"Can the battle of Chibi really be the same?"

"I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Wang Baobao gave Ling, and actually allowed him to take such a risk?"

"Just because he wants to settle with the former yuan in his heart?"

"If he loses, there will be a time for you to cry!"

"This man is still young!"

But at this moment, he realized that something was wrong.

First of all, over the years, Ye Qing's favorite thing to do is to turn what others think is not feasible.

Another is that over the years, every time he thinks like this, the last thing that hurts is himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled that over the years, the bits and pieces he had gotten along with Ye Qing, as well as the losses he had suffered and the things he had suffered, his mentality immediately changed.

At the very least, he is willing to leave the comments for the time being and read them first.

Just as they were all looking into the distance, looking at the Blue Army handsome ship that was getting closer and closer to the enemy's docked port, a group of seabirds suddenly flew over the head of Wang Baobao's handsome ship.

In the eyes of this condescending seabird,

In the Vulture Bay, a huge trapezoidal bay, hundreds of warships of various types imitating Tang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom were all moored in turn on the widest coastline.

The Blue Army fleet of the Ming Dynasty, except for the handsome ships, is based on the entry into the sea of the two peninsulas on the left and right, and is directly connected into a line.

In the eyes of the seabirds, it is a huge dotted line that directly seals this huge trapezoidal bay.

It can be said to be a giant dotted line, or it can be said to be a buoy with a giant fishing net connecting the two peninsulas!

These so-called 'buoys' move forward, and the fish in this sea should suffer!

And on this trapezoidal sea area that has been enclosed, there is only one huge ship, from the narrow side of the trapezoid, straight to the bottom of the trapezoid.

And the bottom edge of this trapezoidal sea area is full of imitation Tang warships of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom!

"Enemy attack!"

"Go back and report to His Majesty the Ghost Emperor, there is an enemy attack!"

"Navy, prepare for battle!"

“.”

On the wide Vulture Harbor, on a large imitation Tang fighting ship, the soldiers on duty suddenly roared when they saw this scene.

At the same time, he also shouted and waved the pennant in his hand.

Where do they know what flag language, but they will learn, or in order to get rid of the international identity of the 'Chinese disciples', they will change half of what they learn.

Although they learned the four dislikes, they can understand the flag language after all.

Suddenly, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom who were docked on the ships in the harbor directly panicked.

Originally, they were not ready for war, but they had to prepare for war quickly, and they had to set sail urgently, so that there was no order to leave the port one after another.

Quite a few ships collided directly with each other before they could completely leave the port.

Fortunately, although it is a wooden ship, it is still stronger than ordinary merchant ships.

But at this very moment,

A general in exaggerated armor wearing a helmet and armed with a katana rushed to the ship.

This general of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, who had an exaggerated helmet, was Chiba Chongwu, the general of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom, who was defeated by Xu Da.

In fact, it is very simple to distinguish the rank of the generals of the Japanese State.

The Wa State allowed the generals to make armor privately, but it must also conform to their own identity, so they tried to exaggerate as much as possible in line with their own identity.

In fact, their armor also has the shadow of the Tang Dynasty armor.

This exaggerated helmet is the Datang Folding Ear Helmet that they learned, but after their own improvements, they changed it to this classic 'ghost helmet' in later film and television works!

It stands to reason that Chiba Chongwu, as a general, should accompany them for a long time Emperor Kameyama.

But in order to welcome the Ming reinforcements who arrived at any time, he came here a long time ago!

Chiba Chongwu slapped the soldier in charge of the lookout flag in the face:

"Yaga!"

"Is that an enemy attack?"

"Which enemy attack will make the other ships stop in the distance, but the Admiral will come on his own?" (Admiral's Ship: The name given to the Navy's handsome ship by the Wa Kingdom)

"This is our friendly army, the reinforcements we invited, and their commander is here to discuss with us about the countermeasures to jointly deal with the Northern Dynasties!"

The flag soldier covered his face and said aggrievedly: "General, we don't know about this!" ”

Chiba Chongwu reacted at this time, and in order to keep it secret, they did not inform the grassroots generals.

Since they don't know, it can only be regarded as a good intention.

But even so, the general slapped the soldier, and he couldn't apologize!

This is the military culture of the Wa Kingdom!

Chiba Chongwu said loudly: "Hurry up and order, let them all return to the port, and clear a position where a big ship can dock." ”

"Hey!"

After nodding and bowing, the flag whisperer hurriedly stood on the command booth and waved the flag to both sides.

In this way, the soldiers of the Japanese State on each ship were directly angry!

While scolding their mothers in various ways, they let the ship return to port!

And Chiba Chongwu, on the other hand, led his men to the bow of the deck of their admiral's ship and waved to the approaching Daming Shuai!

His vice admiral looked at the giant ship whose silhouette could already be seen, and his eyes immediately lit up.

When I stopped at the Ryukyu Pier, I just felt that it was huge.

But looking at the giant ship that is quickly riding the wind and waves at this moment, they feel lucky again, and they feel palpitations again.

They felt lucky because this huge ship with the appearance of 'iron armor' and fast sailing was their friend.

If you are an enemy of them, you are afraid that you will be knocked to pieces!

And the reason why they feel uneasy is because their big neighbor, who is always thinking about it, actually has such a huge and fast sailing artifact.

And in their hearts, sooner or later they will be enemies of these nautical artifacts, and they must also be enemies of these nautical artifacts in the future.

Fortunately, after this cooperation, they had the opportunity to obtain the construction blueprints of this huge seafaring artifact.

Of course, they also knew that with Ye Qing's profiteer character, they would never give it to them for nothing.

But as long as the other party arrives on the shore, they have a chance to get on the boat, and as long as they get on the boat, they have a chance to be thieves.

In their opinion, the marshal of the Ming fleet had no reason to refuse them to come on board to negotiate, which was the basic etiquette of cooperation.

But just when they were so calculating, a sharp-eyed lieutenant immediately discovered the clue.

"General!"

"Look at the oars on both sides of them, rowing so fast and powerfully, it doesn't look like they're coming to the port!"

"Yes, they lowered their sails early, this is the state of wartime!"

“.”

Chiba Chongwu looked at the giant ship that came in a collision posture, and listened to the reminders of the vice generals on both sides, and immediately had a bold conjecture.

"Really?"

"Could it be that the Northern Dynasty also invited reinforcements, not the Ningbo Navy, the Dengzhou Navy, or the Fuzhou Navy?"

"Our reinforcements haven't arrived yet, and their reinforcements are coming first?"

"But if you come to battle, how can it be that the other ships don't move, just the handsome ships charge over?"

“.”

Chiba Chongwu had already guessed the truth, but because of the abnormal scene in front of him, he denied the truth he had already guessed.

Just when Chiba Chongwu was still analyzing and hesitating, Wang Baobao issued another handsome order.

In the battle pavilion, Wang Baobao stood in the center, looking at the getting closer and closer to the Japanese handsome ship, which is what they call the 'general ship'!

"Command of the marshal,"

"As soon as the enemy ship came within range of the bow gun, it opened fire and destroyed it."

"After confirming the hit, immediately fill the rudder on the left, and twenty Hongwu cannons on the left, all of them are ready to fire!"

The two lieutenant generals immediately clasped their fists and said: "Yes!" ”

As soon as the words fell, they each gave the order.

In Wang Baobao's eyes, all the artillery was ready, but all of them were squatting under the sealed women's wall-type fence, and only the observer came out to observe the range.

Finally, the bow observer confirmed that they were within range of the enemy's handsome ship.

This new Hongwu cannon, which first appeared in the Yanmen County Arsenal, can shoot more than 1,500 meters on land with a stable wind direction.

However, on the sea with chaotic wind direction and unstable wind speed, the effective range is only 1,200 meters.

But in this era of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, it is already the existence of crushing the world.

In addition, the opponent's most advanced long-range weapons, that is, shipborne trebuchets that are not enough in range and accuracy, as well as shipborne bows and crossbows and artificial arrow rain.

The key is that the bow and crossbow bed they built has a maximum range of less than 600 meters!

The difference between such a long-range weapon is that an adult with long hands beats a child with short hands!

"Fire!"

At the command of the bow observer, the four gunners lit the reseat fuse at the same time.

In the next moment, four round solid bullets dragging black smoke rushed into the air in unison, and drew a parabola dragging the black flowing cloud.

Since it is a solid bullet specially designed to bombard buildings such as city walls, there is no magnificent fiery red cloud of flowering bombs.

But even so, under this blue sky and white clouds, it is also visible to the naked eye.

The officers and men of the Daming Blue Army in the rear looked at this scene, but their expressions were serious, and none of them spoke.

They know that these four shells are the signal for war!

They don't worry about the effect of the blow, with their ample ammunition, they can do it a second time if they can't do it once!

The concern was that even if these four shells destroyed a ship, what would they do?

If the enemy swarms up, their handsome ship will still be finished!

Thinking of this, they didn't know what this marshal, who was known as the 'last famous general of the grassland', was personally named the 'strange man in the world' by His Majesty the Emperor, and was also recognized by their Lord Ye, what he thought.

At this moment, on the deputy marshal ship, Ye Qing, Zhu Yuanzhang and others just looked at all this seriously, and even Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say a word.

It's just that Ye Qing's eyes are different from theirs, although Ye Qing's gaze is serious, he is not the slightest bit uneasy.

But Zhu Yuanzhang and the others are different, and they all frown tightly.

And above the Owase Harbor, all the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty of the Wa Kingdom on the ships were stunned when they saw this scene.

Only the flag soldier who was slapped by Chiba Chongwu did not have such an unexpected expression.

"Enemy attack!"

"I said it was an enemy attack, I said it was an enemy attack!"

“.”

The next moment,

The officers and men of the ships who had already left the port smoothly but were called back began to hurriedly prepare for war while scolding all kinds of anger.

But this time, they were no longer scolding the flag soldiers, but the generals who ordered them to return.

"Yaga!"

"How is it possible, how is it possible?"

"Even if it is a reinforcement invited by the Northern Dynasty, how can a handsome ship rush over to fight?"

Chiba Chongwu was so angry that his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and his roar expressed his unwillingness, but it was too late.

What he can do now is to say, 'Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood'.

In other words, it's to jump into the sea first!

Just as they jumped into the sea, four solid bullets, mainly composed of iron and lead, hit the bow of the fighting ship directly.

Due to the influence of wind direction and strength, the bombardment points of the four shells were also different.

Two shells hit the bow deck and penetrated directly, and two huge holes appeared immediately.

There were also two shells, which hit directly above the waterline.

A huge hole that makes the sea water rush in!

The oarsmen who were made up of slaves and the samurai who whipped slaves didn't have time to react before they were swept away by the flood.

In a moment, this large imitation Tang Dou ship was directly placed on the bottom of the ship.

If it weren't for the fact that the water in the port was not deep, none of the Japanese soldiers and sailors on this fighting ship would have survived.

The Japanese soldiers on the other ships, looking at this scene, also gritted their teeth with hatred.

Just started, and the ship was sunk?

This is simply the greatest shame for them!

"Yaga!"

"Set sail!"

"Set sail urgently, prepare for battle!"

But when the ships of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom were scrambling to leave the port,

Wang Baobao's Blue Army Marshal Ship has completed an emergency turn in accordance with his combat instructions.

The left side of the hull is facing them, and the twenty Hongwu cannons on the left side of the hull are also facing them!.
