On the Japanese pirate ship, some people thought that they should avoid the sharp edge. After all, in the past, these Japanese pirates could only bully the people of the Ming Dynasty along the coast. Every time they faced off against the Ming navy, they were completely defeated.
But some people also think that the reason why they lost to the Ming army in the past was because the Ming army bullied the smaller ones with more troops and never fought them one-on-one. They all believe that as long as they fight one-on-one, they will not necessarily lose to the Ming army, and now is the best opportunity. After all, there are not many opportunities to encounter a lone Ming warship.
Before the Japanese pirates could reach a unified opinion, Han Du's warship rushed straight towards them.
Well, now there is no need to argue endlessly.
Use the knife and let's do it.
The arrival of Han Du indirectly unified the opinions of these Japanese pirates.
The battle at sea was not as bloody as the confrontation between the two armies on the ground. When the two armies on the ground faced each other, it would definitely be a sword-to-flesh fight, with blood and sword light flying everywhere.
But in a battle at sea, the first thing you do is not think about slashing the opponent with a knife. Instead, he was thinking about how to lock the enemy's ship, jump over to help, and then kill him.
He hesitated because the naval warships were taller than the Japanese pirate ships. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had no way to hook the Japanese pirate ships with hooks. But the Japanese pirates could easily hook the Ming Dynasty's ship.
Duh dunk, rows of hook locks were thrown up in an instant and hooked the navy warship.
The Japanese pirates began to bite the long knife and climb along the hook lock to the Ming army warship. The navy officers and soldiers, under the command of Jiang Ming, had long been standing on the edge of the ship, ready for battle.
Once the Japanese pirates climbed up, they would greet them with swords, spears, bows and arrows.
Of course, the Japanese pirates also had archers protecting the climbers.
Han Du saw several soldiers who had been slashed by swords and shot by arrows falling to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Angrily, he grabbed Jiang Ming's chest and shirt and shouted, "Are you an idiot? If you don't have a blunderbuss, why should you use a knife?"
"Use a firecracker to light the Japanese pirates for Uncle Ben." After saying that, Han Du pulled out two revolvers, rushed to the edge of the warship, raised his hand and shot the two Japanese pirates who climbed up and knocked them into the sea.
When Jiang Ming saw Han Du rushing to the edge of the boat, he suddenly panicked and quickly stepped forward to pull Han Du back. With just one pull, Han Du's life was saved.
Before Han Du could raise his two guns and kill everyone, an arrow shadow flew past Han Du.
If Jiang Ming hadn't helped him, Han Du would have been hit by this arrow. Even though he was lucky enough to escape, a wound was torn open on his left arm by the arrow.
"Ah~hiss~" Han Du cried out in pain, and his left hand suddenly lost strength. He couldn't even hold the revolver and fell to the ground.
Jiang Ming quickly pressed Han Du to the deck and called out: "Uncle, uncle, are you okay?"
Han Du felt the burning pain on his arm and didn't want to speak at all.
Jiang Ming grabbed it and took a look, and saw that it was just a scratch, so he felt relieved and said, "Fortunately, the injury is not serious. Someone, come and treat the uncle's injury."
Although Han Du was injured, his words still had an effect. The soldiers abandoned their swords one after another, took out their revolvers, and hit the Japanese pirates head-on.
With the advantage of the revolver's continuous fire, it is simply a dream to climb onto the warship from the bottom up. In just a moment, all the Japanese pirates on the hook lock were knocked into the sea. Even the archers on the Japanese pirate ship were named one by one by the revolver.
The Japanese pirates had never encountered such a violent firearms attack, and they suffered heavy losses in a short time. Once defeated, the Japanese pirates would want to escape. He directly released the hook lock and broke away from the Ming army's warship.
Can Jiang Ming make the fat in his mouth fly away? Directly command the warships to pursue them and kill the Japanese pirates one by one. The remaining Japanese pirates had to hide below the deck, preparing to give a fatal blow to the Ming army who boarded the ship.
But Jiang Ming did it more simply. He did not send anyone on board the ship at all, but directly sent people to cut open the Japanese pirate ship. By the time the seawater poured into the Japanese pirates' boats, it was too late for the Japanese pirates to react.
If it were normal times, the Japanese pirates could also take the opportunity to find a piece of wood to escape from the sinking ship. However, under the pursuit of the Ming Navy, every one who came out was killed.
After several deaths in succession, the Japanese pirates did not dare to come out again. I can only watch helplessly as the ship slowly sinks into the sea.
Jiang Ming stood at the bow of the ship and inspected it for a while. After seeing that no one emerged from the sea, he commanded the warship to leave the warship.
On the undulating blue sea, except for a few broken wooden boards, there was no one or anything left.
Although naval battles are not as bloody as land battles, they are even more brutal than land battles. When two armies are fighting on the ground, even if one side loses, at least some of them can escape. But in the sea, once defeated, the entire ship will be wiped out. Not even a trace of the existence of these people can be found anymore.
After wiping out all the Japanese pirates, the journey back was smooth sailing, and we never encountered any Japanese pirates or storms again.
After Han Du returned, he discovered that another ship had returned long ago.
"Uncle, you are finally back. If you don't come back, the generals will come looking for you." Zhang Chao said with a smile when he saw the joy on Jing Haibo's face.
Han Du didn't stop. He looked at the other warship and sighed casually: "It turns out that Uncle Ben is still worried about them. I didn't expect that they would come back before Uncle Ben."
"Yes, they were lucky. Not only did they come back early, they also wiped out the Japanese pirates who escaped." Zhang Chao was also in a good mood. On the vast sea, there were violent storms. It was luck to catch up with the Japanese pirates after the storm.
Jiang Ming also laughed and said to Zhang Chao: "The last general and Jing Haibo also encountered Japanese pirates."
"Oh?" Zhang Chao was surprised, "How is it possible to encounter Japanese pirates at the same time?"
They encountered Japanese pirates at the same time, but they didn't come back at the same time. One of them must be telling lies. Zhang Chao couldn't help but frown. Jiang Ming and his uncle were on a ship, so naturally they wouldn't tell lies. Is the news about the other ship false?
Lying about military merit is a serious crime. Thinking of this, Zhang Chao couldn't help but his face darkened.
Jiang Ming waved his hand to stop Zhang Chao's random thoughts and explained: "It's not what you think. The Japanese pirates encountered by the general and uncle were not the ones who escaped from here."
"That's it." After hearing Jiang Ming's explanation, Zhang Chao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't lie about his military exploits.
"By the way, uncle, the messenger in the palace has been waiting for a long time." Zhang Chao said as he walked.
Lao Zhu is looking for me?
When Han Du heard this, he couldn't help but stop. Logically speaking, since it was Lao Zhu who asked him to fish, he probably wouldn't come looking for him since there was nothing particularly important.
