"I don't know, it's unlikely, but based on my understanding of the structure and technology of the Fuso warship, even if it were available, it would only be a thin layer of iron plate laid on the surface of the hull.
If one shot can't solve the problem, then use a hundred or two hundred shots! "
When Zheng Zhilong said this, the generals laughed loudly, and all the worries in their eyes disappeared.
But Zheng Zhilong became serious: "Strategically, we are contemptuous, but tactically we must not be sloppy. Even if a lion fights a rabbit, he will use his full strength.
This battle is extremely important to the imperial court. If something goes wrong, we may be killed, let alone promoted to commander-in-chief.
Taoyuan, your Tiger Division led a fuchuan, ten three-masted gunboats, thirty medium-sized ships, and a hundred small ships through the Tsushima Strait and blocked the northeastern end of the Korean Strait to prevent the Fuso warship from retreating into the Fuso Sea. .
Ruotang, your Leopard Division led two lucky ships, five three-masted gunboats, and thirty medium-sized ships... to attack from the direction of Geoje Island!
Mr. Yu, your Fengbu led a lucky ship, thirty medium-sized ships, and a hundred small ships to dock twenty miles away from Fuso Uku Island to monitor the movements of Fuso Nagasaki Port.
This general will lead the Dragon Division, Peng Division, and personal guards to attack the North Korean Busan Port head-on. Attack from three sides and completely destroy Fuso's warships in the Korean Strait!
After the encirclement and annihilation, Ruotang led his troops to land on Tsushima Island and killed all the Fuso sergeants stationed on the island!
Then Taoyuan led his army to occupy the Busan port, tried to land, and established defensive positions and supplies. Yu Gong and your general immediately changed course and went straight to the Fuso Nagasaki port to kill the warships in the port. "
"As for why we sacrificed the near for the far, attacking Busan first and then Nagasaki, I can only say that if we can run away, a monk cannot run away from the temple!"
After the generals responded, Zheng Zhibao said softly: "General, if we attack from three sides, some of the Fusang Navy will definitely retreat to the land.
Should we send a team to land from Lily Island, carrying Folang machine guns and Vulcan guns, to intercept the escaping Fuso Navy? "
"Fool!"
Zheng Zhilong stretched out his hand to hold the ear of Zheng Zhibao, the third child: "Do you know what kind of military branch we are? We are the navy, damn navy. Things on land are not our responsibility.
Besides, if you surrounded and killed them all, how could the tripartite coalition of slave-building and slave-building forces get any news? How can we shake the morale of the military if we don't get the news?
After we destroyed Fuso's warships, the three parties of Jiannu and slaves were trapped in North Korea. It was only a matter of time before they were surrounded and annihilated.
Early death and late death are all deaths, why are we going to kill them now? Can you use your brain? "
After saying this, he kicked Zheng Zhibao on the butt: "Get out of here, general. If you dare to make any mistakes, don't blame me for killing your relatives out of justice!"
The generals behind him responded with serious faces, and then got on the boats and returned to their respective warships.
After everyone left, Zheng Zhilong turned around and looked at Zheng Zhiqi: "Lao Qi, you personally lead two fast boats and go ahead and tell the Jin Yiwei in Changmen County that we will start attacking at noon five days later."
"clear!"
At noon five days later, when Zheng Zhilong appeared on the sea ten miles away from Busan Port with hundreds of warships, he was discovered by Sergeant Fuso on patrol and passed back to the camp at the port.
"There are a large number of Ming navy warships in the southeast, northeast, and front? Which navy? From Mao Wenlong's department?"
"Why did Mao Wenlong's warship appear here?"
"What are they doing here?"
"This is a naked provocation. Is this a plan to start a national war?"
"No matter what they come to do, we can't let them get close, raise the flag and let them leave, otherwise we won't be polite!"
"Send the order, prepare the entire army for war, prepare to annihilate the Ming Navy!"
…
Ten miles away, the warship sent an order to the soldiers to translate Fuso's flag. Zheng Zhilong sneered on his lips: "You're welcome? You want to fight back? You really don't know how to live or die!"
"Send the order, the whole army will advance at full speed. After approaching three miles, all the warships equipped with Hongyi cannons will move forward and directly bombard the Fuso warship. The eagle ship and net shuttle ship are ready to attack at any time!"
After the military order was issued, the oars of hundreds of warships shook faster. Although the warships could not fly like arrows, they were still extremely fast.
Eight miles...six miles...five miles...four miles...
The Ming army's ships slowed down and began to change their formations. All the warships equipped with Hongyi cannons were arranged in a row, with the muzzles facing the Busan port.
"That's a Dutch three-masted gunboat? How could the Ming army have such a ship? This is not a warship of Mao Wenlong's department!"
"Five ships in the southeast, five ships in the northeast, and fifteen ships due east... a total of twenty-five ships!"
"Hiss... It is said that each of the three-masted gunboats is equipped with eight red cannons. If there are red cannons on board, then we are doomed!"
"Quick! Give the order, everyone spread out, don't gather together!"
boom……
boom……
…
While the commander of the Fuso Navy was still chattering, the Hongyi cannons on dozens of fuchuan and three-masted gunboats opened fire.
More than two hundred Hongyi cannons fired in volley, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
The port was so densely packed with warships that there was no need to aim at it. Every time a stone bullet fell, almost a small ship was pierced.
Sergeant Fuso on the ship roared angrily, and with horrified eyes could only watch the water pouring into the ship from the big hole and slowly sinking into the sea.
Fuso's warships were not even a little weaker than the Ming army in terms of number and strength.
The Ming army's Hongyi cannons could hit them, but their imitation Hongyi cannons couldn't reach the Ming army, and they could only wait to be beaten.
The Fuso boat carried kerosene and rushed towards the Ming army warship, intending to burn the warship. Unfortunately, it was sunk by a palm mine before it got close.
After more than thirty rounds of salvos, half of the warships in Busan Port were beaten to pieces, and the effect of the Hongyi artillery bombardment was much weaker.
Seeing this, Zheng Zhilong immediately said: "Send the order, all the three-masted gunboats will advance one mile further, the Hongyi cannons will lower their muzzle height, and focus on bombarding Fuso's Anzhai ship!"
A military order was issued, and the remaining twenty or so large and medium-sized warships were targeted by the Ming army. Each ship was guarded by ten Hongyi cannons. Even if the accuracy was poor, it could not withstand the large number.
After more than twenty rounds of attacks, the remaining medium-sized ships were riddled with holes, and large black holes appeared in many places on the hull.
"All Haicang ships, wheel boats, and centipede ships move forward at full speed, attacking first with palm thunder, then with rockets, and finally with fire bricks!
All small ships attack and use fire guns and bows to kill Sergeant Fuso in the sea! "
The military order was issued again, thousands of sails moved together, and the medium-sized ships followed by the small ships rushed towards the port.
In the sea at this moment, some Fuso sergeants were holding broken logs and swimming desperately towards the shore, while others were flopping, floating and sinking in the water...
Seeing hundreds of Ming army medium-sized ships crushing them at extremely fast speeds, great despair and fear surged into my heart, and I swam desperately, but no warships were faster than me.
Those who managed to escape were shot directly by the Ming army on a small boat following behind.
Wherever they passed, the warships were all torn apart and all the sergeants were killed.
The intensive roars and explosions lasted for a quarter of an hour before they slowly subsided. At this moment, no intact Fuso warship could be seen on the sea.
Those that have not sunk are also burning with raging fire, and sinking is only a matter of time.
The scene of the destruction of the warship in Busan Port was discovered by Sergeant Fuso on Tsushima Island, and was rushed to Fuso Kyoto through the inn.
PS: Post stations are not limited to the Ming Dynasty. Fusang learned the way of post stations in the Tang Dynasty. They are called Yi Chuan Ma and Yima. There are 400 post stations in the territory.
Three days later, at 1:00 p.m., news of the annihilation of all the warships in Busan Port reached Nijo Castle where Tokugawa Iemitsu lived in Edo Castle.
Without realizing it, all this had fallen into the eyes of the Jin Yiwei lurking in the city.
