[The anchor enters the sea and fixes the battleship]
[Concentrate all kinds of naval guns to bombard the Japanese ships]
Before evening, Yi Sun-shin, who had completely encountered the navy coming to aid the Japanese army, issued two simple orders.
Although he was a general of the Li Dynasty fleet, through contact and learning, he knew how to take advantage of the Ming army's warships and chose to stop the ships for combat.
1. If Ming warships stop moving at high speed and come to a standstill, their hit rate will increase.
Second, it can attract more Japanese troops to attack large ships and reduce the pressure on relatively defective domestic warships.
The latter was not that he deliberately sacrificed the Ming army's sailors to preserve his own strength.
You must know that the battle line is composed of allied forces. If the weak point is broken through, no matter how good the Ming army fights, it will not be of much use. He has to buy more time to attack Sunchon Wa Fortress and completely annihilate the besieged enemies.
To this, veteran general Deng Zilong readily agreed.
After all, his combat experience was no less than that of Yi Sun-shin. He could tell the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and ourselves at a glance. Whether the Japanese army climbed up or used small-caliber iron cannons to shoot, they were always on the attacking side. As long as the open ships were well defended, it would be difficult for the enemy to attack. Come up.
No anti-theft
Sure enough, the big ship that suddenly stopped quickly successfully attracted the Japanese navy to attack. This group of guys who came from Kanto and had not experienced too many water battles swarmed in like ants smelling honey.
Then, a lesson was learned.
A considerable number of them were sunk by artillery fire on the way.
But after all, they did not suffer a big loss. In addition, the battle situation in Shuntian was urgent, and more and more warships rushed over, appearing unyielding.
After approaching, a large number of iron artillerymen stood on the deck and fired round after round at the nearby Ming warship.
There was a rain of projectiles, mixed with a few cannon shots, but unfortunately they were only embedded in the hull.
At this time, Yi Sun-shin issued the third combat order without haste:
The combatants who could get on the deck each had a three-eyed blunderbuss and crawled under the cards on both sides of the ship's side to wait.
The Kanto Navy approached and fired for a while, and found that although their iron cannons could not cause damage to the hull, they could drive away the Ming troops standing on the deck.
Don't miss this opportunity!
The captains of each fleet made a unanimous decision and immediately arranged for nearly a thousand Japanese pirates to board hidden boats and march towards the Ming army's fortress-like ship.
Then... these ambitious guys who were unfamiliar with the art of warfare climbed onto the side of the ship, but as soon as they stepped forward, they heard the sound of firecrackers.
After three shots, the three-eyed gun in his hand turned into a sledgehammer, smashing the first wave of Japanese soldiers who were already defenseless into the sea.
After the wave ended, the well-trained naval soldiers quickly lowered their bodies to avoid the next hail of bullets from a distance.
This method of warfare is really simple, but the Japanese are not good with firearms and their warships are almost all low and squat, so they can only stare at it and cannot crack it at all.
Because the Mingshipian is very tall, and over the past hundred years, Japan has subconsciously developed a set of tactics called jumping ship attacks, but there is no place for them to be used, so what is the use? When you climb up, there will be a three-eyed gun waiting for you. You can gently pull the trigger, or smash it with all your strength. After going through a lot of hardships, the Japanese pirates will go to meet the great god of sunshine.
After several rounds of this, more than a thousand Japanese soldiers who tried to board the ship all fell into the sea. Some died, and some died soon as time went by.
In the end, a battle situation similar to a stew was formed.
You have me I have you.
On the periphery of the battle group, the coalition forces with superior strength surrounded the Japanese and pursued them fiercely, trying to open up the situation so that they would be unable to support westward.
Inside, a group of Japanese warships broke in and attacked the fleet where Yi Sun-shin and Deng Zilong were. They did not care about casualties, trying to behead the enemy commander before their own side was severely defeated.
Through information gaps and equipment generation differences, the coalition forces gradually gained and expanded their advantages.
Why did he launch such a crazy attack with absolute strength superiority, but it had no effect at all?
The iron cannon cannot hit it.
What should the samurai do if he can't climb up?
The Japanese were at a loss from top to bottom.
Only Deng Zilong knew that the old general felt that he had lost something in the east and gained something in the east. He was unable to go ashore to fight, but in the end he was able to fight fiercely at sea and have another good time!
At this moment, he successfully fought off the siege again and turned around to look:
A group of large ships behind them approached the place very discreetly.
Deng Zilong was immediately overjoyed and urged Yi Sunchen to issue an order. Afterwards, the fleet pulled anchor one after another and all evacuated the deck.
do not fight?
what happened?
The Japanese army repeatedly encountered things beyond their inherent cognition, and their minds were a little confused for a short period of time. In fact, this was not a fight, but the trump card of the Ming army's navy.
On those large ships that suddenly came up, the soldiers were all wearing heavy armor and holding a strange object in their hands. This was a large copper cylinder with a mouth in front and a push handle at the back. When Lu Li first saw them, he felt they were very strange. Like the original squirt gun.
In the Ming Dynasty, they had an official name:
spray can.
The principle is no different from Lu Li's understanding, it is that something is sprayed out, but it is not water, but fire oil.
When he first saw this object, Lu Li couldn't help but feel that the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were indeed full of whimsical ideas, and they obviously had the shadow of modern weapons.
Why did it go backwards and be invaded by various countries hundreds of years later? The question is worth thinking about.
The Menghuo oil cabinet is a large copper cabinet with several straight tubes installed inside, with oil filling holes on the sides and a push piston on the rear.
Therefore, its working principle is very simple. Add fire oil into it along the oil filling hole, and then push the piston, and the combustion-supporting liquid will be sprayed out along the straight tube.
At the front end, there is a component called the medicine building. When a liquid passes through it, the thrust will ignite the gunpowder. In this way, the fire oil turns into a jet-like tongue of flame.
Based on this principle, the Ming army developed a series of spray cannons, some large and some portable. They were not limited to spraying flames, but could also shoot poisonous gas, or both.
It is true that the Japanese are short-sighted, and the Ming Dynasty Navy is also on its first expedition to the peninsula. They do not know this thing at all, but they have suffered so much in just one confrontation, and now they see such a scene -
Strange objects appear.
All the soldiers on the deck were silent.
The Japanese generals could not help but be surprised and did not dare to step forward, for fear that the coalition forces would show some new tricks.
Just when this group of people was in shock and doubt, Pyro immediately pounced on them without any hesitation. They had nothing to worry about.
On the high deck, one after another fire dragons sprayed condescendingly at all nearby enemy ships. Even if the priests who accompanied the army could change the celestial phenomena, they could not react in a short time.
Moreover, Menghuo oil does not consume any national luck, but it is all sprayed out? Just hide under the cards and continue to fill a big bucket, and the cycle repeats.
Besides, the Japanese have priests, but the Ming army doesn’t have Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain?
He escorted the whole process and confronted the priest from a distance, forming a different kind of tacit understanding.
