"Get a spare oar!"

"Quick, take the spare oars, hold against the shore rocks, and never let the bottom of the boat touch the reef and run aground!"

The bilge of the handsome ship, that is, the artificial power cabin,

The drummer captain saw through the porthole that they were getting closer and closer to the island to their left, and hurriedly threw down the drumsticks, and shouted loudly.

Soon, the three escape doors in the front, middle and rear of the bilge were all opened.

At the same time, nine strong men with bodies as strong as oxen and arms thicker than ordinary human legs lifted their spare oars and held up the visible shallow-bottomed reef at once.

"Ahh

They gritted their teeth and roared, the muscles in their arms bulged to the limit, the green tendons in their hands and temples flare, and their faces began to turn red.

They all lunge and dive, and each of them used their thick waists to support the 'moving land' of the Ming Dynasty!

Personally, they are the few strong men in the southern region of the Central Plains who can compete with Meng Yuan's wrestlers.

But for this giant ship of the sea, which is 100 meters long, has a five-story cabin, is as high as a city, can accommodate hundreds of sailors and soldiers, is equipped with 48 cannons, and is equipped with all kinds of weapons, they are very small.

But they are small, but they have supported this giant ship equivalent to the 'Ming Mobile Land'!

At this moment, they did not think about whether they would die of overwork, and only wanted to do their best to ensure the maneuverability of this battleship.

meanwhile

All the soldiers on the deck are also ready for white-knuckle combat!

Even Wang Baobao, who was standing on the Finger Battle Pavilion, held the hilt of his incomparably thick, nine-ring broadsword!

At this moment, from the two wings, a total of ten imitation Tang fighting ships of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom also collided with the current.

Of course, they didn't dare to just hit the bow of the boat, but tried to adjust the posture of the hull and try their best to hit it with the side of the hull.

The reason they did this was simple, because if they rammed the bow of the ship, they would have been the ones who would have wrecked the ship.

This is the same as a child running with his head down, and finally hitting an adult's arms, and then falling directly on his back.

Another is that if they meet sideways, it is most convenient for them to board the Ming Shuai ship to fight!

"Shoot the arrows!"

The generals of the 10 fighting ships of the Second Army of the Southern Korean Navy of the Japanese Kingdom successively issued orders to release arrows.

Now they have no other way than to attack the Ming naval soldiers on the deck with a rain of arrows.

The Hongwu cannons of the Ming Dynasty were all seriously affected by the instability of the ship, and their trebuchets and crossbow beds were even more useless.

It's just that they underestimate the opponent's defense!

In addition to being able to rely on the female wall of the hull to dodge, the Ming naval officers also have enough shields!

Even if you are hit, there is still this riveted cloth armor of 'Brizang Iron', as long as you don't shoot at close range with a 'recurve bow', you can't shoot through it at all!

This kind of rain of arrows that use the parabolic principle to strike is not only scary to look at, but also does them no substantial harm.

After the rain of arrows from the enemy, the handsome ship, facing the island on the left, opened fire on the bow, stern, and right side of the ship.

Now that the distance has entered the range of the bow and arrow, it is less than three hundred paces.

In addition, the handsome ship is backed by the island, and the current has little impact, so it is naturally very accurate and powerful.

It's just that they didn't come in a unified formation, they drifted with the current in an irregular manner, and only half of the shells were emptied, and only five enemy ships were sunk.

"Bloom bombs, prepare for close-range bombardment!"

"Firecracker, get ready for a close-range kill!"

"Archers, get ready for close-range kills!"

"All soldiers, prepare for white-knuckle battle!"

The adjutant general in charge of various arms of the armed forces saw that the five enemy ships were less than 100 paces away, and immediately issued various combat orders.

At the same time, on the decks of the five remaining fighting ships, the Japanese soldiers, who had already had red blood in their eyes, also howled even harder.

"Reel ready, springboard ready!"

“.”

The Admiral's ship located in the center of the naval fleet of the Southern Korean Navy,

Chiba Chongwu and Yamamoto Kazuki, looking at this scene, were also so excited that they stood up all of a sudden.

Kazuki Yamamoto smiled lightly: "He thought that by relying on the island, he would not be affected by the turbulence of the waters, but he didn't know that this also created an opportunity for us to fight in close combat. ”

Chiba Chongwu nodded and said, "Our shipbuilding technology can't be compared, and our long-range weapons can't be compared, but we are also 'Japanese Kou' in his eyes." ”

"As far as close combat is concerned, we may not be defeated by the Ming Northern Army and the Mengyuan Iron Cavalry, but we will definitely not lose to these Southern Army soldiers!"

Yamamoto Kazuki looked at Chiba Chongwu next to him and said, "Then when you were in the Ryukyus, you lost to the coalition marshal that Lord Ye prepared for us?" ”

"What kind of captain is it, it's called Xu Daniu, right?"

As soon as Chiba Chongwu heard this, he immediately had the feeling that ten thousand arrows pierced his heart, if it weren't for the current enemy, he would definitely cut this admiral first!

He just gritted his back molars and said, "Baga, that's just an example, an example!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the island battlefield that was about to be engaged, and said with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't believe it, these soldiers of the Southern Army are so good at close combat!" ”

Although Chiba Chongwu said this, he was still inexplicably worried in his heart.

He was defeated by a Southern Military Captain of the Ming Dynasty, although it was only an example, but the fact that the Marshal of the Japanese State was defeated by the Captain of the Ming Dynasty is an undeniable fact.

Thinking of this, he looked in the direction of the main island of the Ryukyus.

"Lord Ye,"

"Why hasn't your fleet come yet?"

"The reinforcements of the Northern Dynasty have begun to attack us!"

"Could it be that you are detouring the sea area of the Heiankyo Wharf in the north and have not arrived yet?"

"Hurry, we must be fast, otherwise we won't be able to return to the land, and we won't be able to hold out for long!"

“.”

It was also when Chiba Chongwu was thinking like this,

On the deck of the deputy marshal's ship, Ye Qing suddenly sneezed three times in a row.

Ye Qing immediately looked at the old man Guo beside him, who was just focusing on the distant battlefield, and reprimanded him seriously: "Are you scolding me in your heart?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing who dared to question him like this, he really wanted to say, 'Are we scolding you in our hearts?' ’

But he still forced and said, "No! ”

Immediately afterwards, he secretly scolded in his heart: "If you lose the battle, we will not only scold you, but also cut you." ”

After scolding, he no longer paid attention to Ye Qing, but just focused on the battlefield in front of him.

Except for Zhu Yuanzhang and them, the entire Blue Army fleet that blocked Vulture Bay all watched this scene with wide eyes.

They didn't know why this marshal, who was trying his best to fight the wolves alone, did this, and they didn't know that their Lord Ye still didn't accept the right to command the battle, so he directly let them rush over.

But now they just want to rush over and fight side by side with this marshal from outside the gate.

Before, they were worried that this marshal from outside the gate would not do their best, but now they are no longer worried!

All the previous doubts have also disappeared at this moment!

The previous recruits' fears are all gone!

They looked at the sea battlefield that was about to engage in front of them, and they also looked at Ye Qing's deputy marshal ship with their spare eyes!

As long as Ye Qing gives the order, they will definitely support at full speed!

It's a pity that the marshal, who was already in a desperate situation, did not raise the flag and wave the flag, and Lord Ye, who could take over the command of the battle at any time, did not give the order to attack.

All they can do now is to watch this scene with wide eyes, and at the same time pray that the marshal who fought for the Ming Dynasty, as well as the brothers on the ship, are okay!

It was at this moment that they heard a series of deafening cannon fires!

On the handsome ship with his back to the island, Wang Baobao condescended, looked at the five enemy fighting ships, and came to the surroundings of the handsome ship.

After all, as Chiba Chongwu and Yamamoto Kazuki wished, this Ming handsome ship that helped the Northern Dynasties fight them was surrounded by their ships.

Two fighting ships flying the flag of the Japanese kingdom are close to the bow and stern of the handsome ship with side panels, and the two fighting ships are side by side near the right side of the handsome ship.

There is also a fighting ship, which actually appeared between the island and the left side of the handsome ship by virtue of the advantage that the draft is shallower than the handsome ship.

At this moment, the distance between the five fighting ships and them was only ten steps!

It can be said that the sharp and ugly Japanese language has come from all directions!

If Wang Baobao could understand it, he would be able to hear what they were saying with this clear voice.

Actually, you don't need to understand to know what they're talking about.

It's nothing more than 'kill, don't leave a single one' or something like that!

But at this moment, these cannons loaded with flowering bombs fired at their deck at close range.

Flowering bombs do not have such a bombardment that they cannot smash the hull of a ship, but they can explode on enemy decks.

"Boom!"

Countless fragments of shells, mixed with debris and wood chips, killed and wounded the enemy soldiers who were preparing to rush through.

I only saw blood from the bottom up, only fragments of intestines and intestines, and broken arms and legs from the bottom up.

Some of them land on their decks, while others land in the sea and become a delicacy for the fish!

Just one round of shelling reimbursed one-third of the Japanese soldiers!

"Yaga!"

"Pull it, pull it for me."

"Springboard, springboard."

The remaining red-eyed soldiers threw out countless rope hooks, hooked the female walls around the handsome ship, and pulled hard!

They didn't really want to pull the handsome ship over, but they pulled their own boat over, at least to the distance of the gangplank.

In this case, it is unrealistic to remove their hooks.

The only thing that can be done now is to take advantage of the five-story deck, which is as tall as a city, and use bows and arrows and firearms to shoot down from above as much as possible.

Of course, you can also cut their ropes as much as possible!

Wang Baobao was not idle, took out his strong bow, and directly began to shoot left and right, shooting indiscriminately.

As long as it is a Japanese soldier, he will shoot whoever he sees!

Wang Baobao's archery skills are very good, almost all of them shoot in the throat!

But no matter how you kill like this, it will be scattered from five directions, and you still can't stop the enemy from successfully jumping!

"Kill!"

"Kill them all, capture their marshal alive!"

“.”

The naval soldiers of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom climbed onto the gangplank and raised their katanas one by one and rushed forward.

If they can't stop them, they must jump up when they get off the springboard, and at the same time slash fiercely.

Judging from their eyes and fierce expressions, they really can't wait to use the Ming Navy officers as firewood to split in half.

But the navymen of the Ming Dynasty are not vegetarians!

They are the Ningbo Navy composed of eighty percent of new soldiers, not the Qi family army that kills widows like chopping melons and vegetables!

The Qi family's army, which can kill widows such as chopping melons and vegetables, also started from recruits!

And Ye Qing's previous training for them was definitely no less than Qi Jiajun's training, and it was even more systematic.

Now that they are boiling with enthusiasm, they just want to use the tactics taught by Lord Ye to deal with these hateful slaves.

Just as the Japanese soldiers rushed to the springboard, the three-eyed fire bolt fired at close range.

After the Three-Eyed Musketeer stepped back, the archer fired another arrow from close range.

After the archers fired an arrow from close range, the spearmen poked again.

The 'three-stage attack' combined with three weapons directly made the three Japanese soldiers on the springboard painfully swallowed by the sea.

The close-range bombardment of the bombs, coupled with this round of 'three-stage attack', directly wiped out half of the Japanese soldiers on the five fighting ships.

As for the remaining half, half of them managed to get on the deck of the handsome ship!

Wang Baobao immediately gave an order: "Kill!" ”

In everyone's eyes, Wang Baobao carried his nine-ring broadsword, and with a somersault, he flipped from the Finger Battle Pavilion to the flat deck.

Although the handsome ship was wide, nearly a thousand people on both sides slashed and killed on it, which still seemed too narrow.

Therefore, any martial arts tricks are redundant here!

The martial arts tricks that both sides can use, that is, the four moves of splitting, slashing, stabbing, and blocking!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene through the monoculars, his eyes were already a little moist, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly.

He only saw these Ming Erlang holding Ming-made war swords, and they were engaged in the most primitive confrontation with the Japanese soldiers.

What's more, it's completely just that you slash me, and I slash you, it depends on who has the most strength, who can knock down the opponent's knife, and who can take the lead in causing the opponent to fall to the ground with serious injuries.

He also saw a soldier wearing blue cloth rivet armor, and after killing several Japanese soldiers in leather armor with his own strength, he also pushed people into the sea.

But then, he couldn't afford to fall to the ground.

At this moment, Wang Baobao appeared in the field of vision of the monocular.

He only saw Wang Baobao holding the heavy nine-ring broadsword, each knife was fast and fierce.

The enemy's parry against him seemed so weak and weak.

Even if it was successfully parried, it would be the back of the knife and the arm would be cut off by Wang Baobao!

Everywhere Wang Baobao went, the arms and heads of the Japanese soldiers flew everywhere!

When he slashed the chest of a Japanese soldier, he also picked up the opponent's intestines several meters high!

This kind of battle, which only relies on blood and has no martial arts moves, has lasted for a long, long time!

finally

Wang Baobao stood at the entrance of the bilge, and then said to the deputy general of the artillery who killed the red eye: "General Chen, send ten cannon barrels to the bottom cabin." ”

"The front and rear escape doors on the right side, tie five cannon barrels separately and fire them together."

When the deputy general of artillery heard this, his eyes widened directly.

And the redness in his eyes instantly dissipated half: "Wang Shuai, if you don't know, we all have to die!" ”

Wang Baobao grabbed the lieutenant's collar and ordered strongly: "This is an order, you must do it." ”

"If we can't do it, we'll all have to die!"

"Go, I'll cover you!"

The adjutant general immediately nodded: "Yes, the last general will definitely do it." ”

After the lieutenant general got out of the bilge, Wang Baobao stood alone in front of the entrance to the bilge.

At this moment, many Japanese soldiers also looked at him, and with knives in both hands, they rushed towards him.

Along with this, there was still a sea breeze with the smell of blood, which blew Wang Baobao's half-blooded cloak flying.

Of course, it also blew the blood on the nine-ring broadsword in his hand, and quickly fell along the blade.

At this moment, the golden carving on the knife body also appeared! .
