Goryeo, Ganghwa, within the strait.

After the Koreans suffered two rounds of shelling and lost seven or eight naval lives, they decided to give up their weak firepower competition and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Their commander even ordered some The soldier went down to the rowing cabin and helped the oarsmen swing the big oar to provide extra power to the cabin boat under his feet!

However, they ignored one thing, that is, the Chiyang fleet relied on naval battles to make its fortune! Once upon a time, when Mr. Kang only had a bird ship on hand, he dared to lead his brothers to risk their lives against the famous fierce shark pirates in the East China Sea. Now, the Koreans cannot compete with Chi Yang in terms of firepower, so they want to play with Chi Yang. Hand-to-hand combat, haha, Kang Lin, Gu Wenlai, Lin Wu and other old Chiyang people want to ask the Korean people, who gave them courage, the Tathagata Buddha or the Jade Emperor?

"Okay, let's fight like this. All units, please pay attention, keep a safe distance from the enemy, and give someone a hard beating! Damn, you can't beat us with all your firepower, so you want to play hand-to-hand combat with us. I can't beat them..." Expedition Ship On the poop of the team's flagship, Chief Lin Ashui held a brass single-tube telescope in his left hand to look at the battle situation, but his right hand slapped hard on the guardrail of the poop! Obviously, this forty-year-old man is in a very good mood at the moment. He has been sailing together for half his life. In the past, he was often made things difficult and threatened by Western foreign devils. His life was very difficult, especially after the Bingchen Rebellion. Foreign ships flying the Union Jack flag, the tricolor flag, and the Stars and Stripes flag were all running rampant in the territorial waters of the Qing Dynasty, showing off their power, but the Qing government didn't even dare to fart. There had never been such a hearty time as now! Although the opponent is the extremely weak Goryeo Kingdom, their naval strength is really not weak. Not to mention that during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion in the 30s, many elite soldiers and generals emerged, such as Yi Sun-shin and so on. Now, These stick navy troops also have many sturdy and huge turtle boats and wooden house boats, which have good combat effectiveness! But if they encounter their own warship, no matter what, they still have to fight at their own pace obediently! Therefore, as long as you are strong enough, any small move will be a cloud in front of you. You can fight wherever you want, and use whatever method you want to fight. Even if the enemy is unwilling, there is nothing he can do against you!

"The Ye Gong Divine Cannon Battery on the port side aimed straight at the enemy cabin ship and fired a salvo!" No matter how bumpy and tortuous the journey of Lin Ashui, the boat manager of the "Adventure", was, the two gun batteries on the port side were receiving the signal from their own ships. After the general manager's order, the Ye Gongshen gun and ground-character gun battery were fired first to attack the enemy ship! I saw a burst of smoke, and after the fire, three six-pound iron bullets, driven by refined black gunpowder, rushed out of the stubby barrel like meteors chasing the moon! The next moment, with a dull sound of breaking through the air, one of the three shells hit the command building of the Korean ship! And this one cannonball not only collapsed the entire wooden command building, but also turned two Korean navy soldiers who were unable to dodge into disabled people with missing arms and legs!

“???????????????,??????????????????????,???????????? ?????????,?????????,??????????????????(Prepare the blunderbuss and arrows, aim at the enemy and fire them, Don't wait for my order, remember, hit me hard!" When the commander of the Korean Navy saw that the situation was not good, he immediately attacked the enemy ship regardless of whether the large guns and arrows equipped on his ship could damage the enemy ship. The navy soldiers under his command gave the order to fire volleys of guns and arrows! So soon, driven by black gunpowder, several large javelin-like blunderbuss arrows flew across the short distance of more than 200 meters between the two sides with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and appeared in Chiyang. In front of all the navy flag soldiers! However, I don’t know if it was because I didn’t read the almanac when I went out. Not only did the hastily fired guns and arrows not hit any target, but they flew high or low over the sentinel ship, and then fell into the rolling sea water due to exhaustion. There were several large or small water jets!

"The large Folan gun group on the port side aimed straight at the enemy cabin ship and fired a salvo!" Ignoring the large arrows flying from the zenith, Lin Ashui still stood on the stern of the sentinel ship and commanded the battle calmly. , and under his influence, Chiyang's sailors continued to light the fire step by step, fire the cannon, load it, light the fire again, fire the cannon again, and reload it again, and so on again and again to fire the large Franco machine! Anyway, the Folan cannons equipped by the fleet are all sophisticated artillery that have been modified or rewarded by the system. If they are fired at a rapid rate, there is no risk that the chamber will explode! Therefore, Chiyang's artillerymen continued to fire ship-borne guns until all six to eight muskets attached to each gun were used and the ship was surrounded by thick smoke. The bombardment stopped!

"The Japanese pirates' bombardment has stopped. Hurry up and let the soldiers fight. At the same time, select some strong men from the rowing cabins to come out to help. Quick, quick, quick!"

Under normal operation, a finely crafted Fran cannon can fire four to five shells per minute with the gun pre-loaded. At this moment, even if he is panicking and in a hurry before the battle, the Chiyang Cannon The pawns can successfully fire a cannonball in seven or eight breaths. Therefore, in this round of shooting, there were eight muskets and eight shells, and it only took two minutes to fire them all! And these eight one-pound iron bullets that escaped the barrel actually showed a good hit rate at a distance of 1,780 meters! Although the one-pound cannonball could not penetrate the thick planks of the Korean wooden house boats, it had considerable lethality against the Korean navy troops crouching and hiding on the deck! Words like "will hurt if you touch it," and "die if you touch it" are simply tailor-made for this kind of one-pound cannonball! Small iron bullets continued to wreak havoc on the deck, and everyone and everything they encountered were wounded and killed, or even cut into two pieces...

Facing the oncoming lead shells, the Goryeo generals had no good way to deal with them for a while. They could only shout to avoid and let the soldiers hide behind bunkers to avoid the cannons. But this does not mean that they have given up resistance. No, as soon as Chiyang's bombardment stopped, the Korean generals, surrounded by many soldiers, boarded the command building again to command the naval forces under their command! Soon, under his command, the soldiers of the Goryeo navy fully drew the horn bows in their hands and aimed their gleaming arrows at the flagship "Adventure" of the Chiyang expedition fleet!

"??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????com up up upuuuuuu"""" !" Then, as the general shouted loudly, the soldiers of the Koreshui Army in black robes loosened their bowstrings one after another! So the next moment, a locust-like rain of arrows appeared above the heads of the Chiyang Banner Army. Hundreds of arrows fell from the sky with a neat buzzing sound, and landed on the expedition fleet flagship "Adventure". In an instant, a small jungle of arrows formed on it! Fortunately, the Chiyang Banner Army had long been prepared for such a move, so when the Goryeo navy raised their horned bows, everyone simultaneously raised the iron-wood shields placed in the corner. The person wearing the protective gear also hid in the poop amidst the roars of the officers! Therefore, the Koreans' first wave of arrow rain did not have the desired effect at all, except for the shocking jungle of arrows on the deck of the sentinel ship!

"Ye Gong's divine gun, the gun battery with the word "di", aim at the enemy ship and fire!" Throw me peaches, and give me Qiong Yao in return! Since the Koreans had gifted the Chiyang flagship a large number of feather arrows, the Chiyang flagship would not be stingy. The feather arrows were nothing but clouds. Amidst the violent roars of General Manager Lin Ah Shui, all Ye Gongshen guns and cannons on the port side were assembled. Fired at the Korean panya ship! The next moment, with orange flames, three spherical cannonballs, driven by gunpowder gas, broke free from the smoke, and then plunged into the crowd on the deck of the wooden house boat, instantly destroying the large singing and dancing people. The entertainment scene has turned into a hell! For a moment, screams like ghosts and wolves were heard again on the deck of the narrow wooden house boat. Many Korean navy soldiers who were caught off guard fell in a pool of blood, and other sailor soldiers who were lucky enough to be uninjured were completely dead at this time. Being emboldened, many people no longer ignored the kicking and scolding of the officers and got into the cabin of the cabin boat without looking back, leaving only a few stunned guys spinning around on the deck! At this point, this pioneer wooden house ship, which had high hopes for Goryeo commander Cui Mingji, completely lost its combat effectiveness, and Chiyang's eyes were also focused on other wooden house ships at this time!

"Fight, let's fight like this, let's move faster, don't let the shaved Han man named Lin steal the limelight!" One blow worked, and the enemy's vanguard was frightened! Seeing the success of their flagship in the first battle, the stewards on the Haicang ship and the bird ship also began to urge their sailors to speed up the sailing speed of their ships. They also wanted to defeat one or two enemy ships, make military exploits, and then be praised by the leader. Commendation! But how could the Koreans let them get what they wanted? When Cui Mingji and Cui Pingshu, who was watching the battle on the general's ship, saw that their leading ship was frustrated, he immediately ordered his officers to wave the flag and send more ships to assist the remaining three wooden house ships. This time The Koreans not only dispatched three more wooden house ships, but also dispatched some larger-tonnage auxiliary ships to attract Chiyang's firepower, creating opportunities for their own ships to approach enemy ships and initiate close combat!

"Keep your distance and don't let the ships of the Bangzi Navy approach our ships!" Seeing the enemy's reinforcements of three large, five small and eight ships, Lin Ashui on the stern of the sentry ship also immediately ordered the officer in charge of communications under his command to wave his hands. The red and black flags notify our own ships not far away to keep their distance from the enemy! He firmly believed that with the firepower and flexibility of his own warships, as long as he did not give the opponent a chance to get closer, the opponent would have nothing to do with him. He would not be able to run, run, or fight. He would have to stay outside the range of the bow and arrow and be beaten and take advantage of his own cannonballs. The beating!

"General manager, the flagship sent a signal, asking us to keep a distance from the enemy, use artillery to attack the enemy ships, and never let them get close!" Obviously, the order from the flagship was quickly rejected by Haicang Ship. The Chiyang Banner troops on the bird ship received it. As a result, the three somewhat complacent Chiyang warships immediately began to raise their sails and adjust their course, slowly trying to widen the distance between them and the Goryeo Banwu ship!
