Kingdom of Goryeo, Ganghwa Remaining Division, Ganghwa Strait.
“???????????????,?????????????????????????????????? ??.???????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????,??????????????????????????????(The enemy is moving, they are trying to distance themselves from us, Immediately tell the auxiliary soldiers in the bottom cabin to speed up the rowing speed, and let's get close to the enemy and engage in hand-to-hand combat)!"
Looking at the enemy ships that suddenly filled up the sails, adjusted their course, and headed into the distance, the commander of the Goryeo army, Cui Mingji, the official judge, couldn't help but panic. The enemy warships moved quickly and had fierce firepower. His own fleet encountered them. They can only stand a chance of winning by closing the distance and joining in close combat. Now that they are raising their sails and turning, they have obviously seen through their intentions and want to keep a safe distance from their own warships! And how could I let them get their wish? Not only could I not let them get their wish, but I also had to urge the rowers to row hard, speed up the boat, and stick to them firmly! Otherwise, when the enemy closes the distance with us again, we will be doomed. Thinking of the rain of cannonballs on the enemy's ship, hitting our ship with thunderous force, and then killing a large number of his own navy soldiers, Mr. Cui Mingji Cui. His head is as big as a bucket! Fortunately, the three wooden house boats next to the admiral's ship were all newly launched warships, and they were lightly loaded, so it was not difficult to increase the speed. Therefore, as the oarsmen in the rowing cabin struggled to pull the oars and raise the hard sails, the three cabin boats and five auxiliary flat-bottomed boats plowed through the waves and struggled towards the Haicang ship of the Chiyang fleet. , Bird Boat chased after him!
"Attention to the starboard Folang machine gun crew and the aft deck Folang machine gun crew, the enemy has caught up with us from behind. Your Majesty, the steward has ordered that the Folang machine fires one after another to attack the enemy. Remember, don't let them go too far." Come close to us!" Koreans are smart, and Chiyang is not stupid either! After observing that several of the enemy's escort cabin ships adjusted their course, raised their sails and rowed oars, and showed signs of pursuing their own warships, the chief stewards of Haicang and the sentinel ship ordered the sailors to raise the sails and flee farther away. , there are only bird ships. Their commander relies on the small and exquisite size of his ship, the oars and sails go hand in hand, and the speed is far faster than the Korean wooden house ships. He constantly adjusts his direction, trying to outflank Cui Mingji's wooden house fleet, and uses the leaves equipped on his own ship. The God's gun, the Xuanzi gun, the large Buddha machine, and the powerful cannon can destroy the effective forces on the enemy's ship from a long distance, especially those Korean naval soldiers who have no way to hide. A cannonball or a pile of lead can hit them, and they will always be defeated. There will be several or even a dozen unlucky guys falling down screaming, so as long as you keep shooting from a distance, you can successfully stop those Korean wooden house boats that are approaching in a menacing manner!
"Bang bang bang..." The three groups of French aircraft on the port and starboard plus the stern, the sentry ship, and Haicang continued to spray out orange flames, gray-white smoke, and hot shells, and the bird ship also heard the sound of leaves from time to time. The sound of the God's Gun, the Mysterious Character Gun, and the large Buddha's Machine! For a time, the battle between the two sides unknowingly entered a stalemate! The lucky ships of the Chiyang Expedition Fleet were fast and powerful, but because the ship-borne artillery was all small-caliber, short-barreled artillery, there was nothing they could do about the thick planks of the Goryeo plank house ships, and they could only use cannonballs to disperse them. Constantly attacking the Korean soldiers on the wooden house ship; and the latter, although the ship has thick planks and a large number of ships, due to the shape of the ship, the speed is extremely slow and cannot catch up with the lightly loaded Chiyang warship, and can only be beaten everywhere , no way to fight back! Therefore, one of the two sides ran in front and the other chased behind, and a farce of chasing each other was staged in the narrow Ganghwa Strait! However, as time goes by, it is obvious that the balance of victory in the war has slowly begun to tilt towards Chiyang! The reason is also very simple, that is, during the chase and approach, the four large and small warships under Captain Lin Asui can fire continuously, but the wooden house ship under Cui Mingji cannot. The unique blunderbuss of Goryeo can kill in open places. The power is very limited, and the accuracy is not as good as that of bows and arrows and matchlocks, not to mention the Ming Dynasty's Ye Gong Divine Gun and Fo Lang Machine. The only flaming arrow attack that can be used is the premise that the opponent's ship is sailing very fast. It's a joke. The effective range of these harpoon-like blunderbuss and arrows is not as good as that of the Folang machine with serious air leakage. In addition, the Goryeo Navy has always been short of gunpowder! Therefore, in the swaying sea, the Goryeo generals who were not confident that they would hit the target quickly gave up the idea of exchanging artillery fire with the enemy, and instead began to urge the oarsmen under his command to shake the oars desperately, trying to get closer to the enemy. distance, and then start the hand-to-hand combat that he is good at!
"????,??????,?????????????????????? (Cui Shuai, look, there's another Japanese warship coming over there." )!"
But at this time, a new incident happened! Two strange-looking wooden sailing ships suddenly appeared not far from the warring parties. One had a tall mast with white soft sails hanging on it, and the entire ship looked very sharp; while the other had a lot of stick out. The oar looks like a large centipede with its jointed limbs spread out! Then, before the Korean navy could react, the two strange ships rushed over at lightning speed, aiming directly at the Korean auxiliary ships that were transporting infantry across the strait. Their mission was to try their best to Destroy the enemy's troop transport ships, reduce the number of Korean infantry troops landing on Ganghwa Island to a minimum, reduce the pressure on your own infantry brothers, and reduce the number of enemies they face directly!
"Send the flag and ask the Faraway Merchant and Qianzu to bypass the fighting area and directly attack the enemy's auxiliary fleet. Be sure to eliminate the enemy's auxiliary ships as much as possible before the enemy's wooden house fleet returns to rescue..." Yuechuandunbao On the city wall, Conlin also observed the sudden appearance of the two-ship formation through a monocular telescope. So the next moment, under his command, the flag army responsible for communications on the city wall gave the former an order to directly attack the enemy's auxiliary ships regardless of the warring parties! Because this guy firmly believes that as long as we damage and sink all the enemy's auxiliary ships carrying the land division, then even if our own artillery cannot penetrate the thick planks of the enemy's wooden house ships, they will all be sent to the bottom of the sea. , when the time comes, the Koreans will not be able to threaten the Wolchuandunbao garrisoned by 300 troops without their land combat strength! After all, no matter how powerful the Koreans are, they can't drive the wooden house boat ashore to attack the strong castle defended by artillery!
"??????,??????????????????????????????????????? (Cui Handsome, do you want to raise the flag and recall all the cabin boats to assist in the defense?" Seeing the enemy's strange ship getting closer and closer, the deputy general Yin Gongshan beside Cui Mingji instinctively sensed the danger. He can be considered an experienced man after all. A veteran of the battlefield with extraordinary experience, but today's two strange ships have never been seen before, let alone seen, even heard of them! As the saying goes, the stranger something is, the more dangerous it is. If you don’t know what it is, it’s better to be careful! Therefore, the Goryeo general in his early 40s immediately suggested that his superior should raise the flag to recall all the cabin boats to protect the auxiliary fleet. However, his suggestion was not adopted by the latter. Cui Mingji and Cui Banshu not only did not recall Chi Yangfu and The ship, the bird ship was entangled with the wooden house boat, but on the contrary, he ordered the only two wooden house boats under his command to bravely meet the sloop and the eight-foot centipede boat that were rushing towards his own fleet!
“????,???????????????????????????,???????,??????? ??????????????????????????????,??????????????????, ??????????????????????????????????????????????????? (No, our warship is fighting with the enemy. If we recall it now, it is very likely that it will be attacked by the enemy from the front and back. Let us go up. As long as we drag it for a while, they will be able to defeat the enemy ship and come back to rescue us)..." Obviously, Mr. Cui Mingji, Cui Mingji, overestimated his own strength and underestimated the enemy's strength! Fortunately, the eight-foot centipede boat is equipped with a large Folang machine and the cannonballs fired by the Ye Gong God Gun and the Xuanzi Gun cannot penetrate the turtle shell of the wooden house ship at a long distance, but the Ye Gong God Gun on the sloop The difference is with sky-shaped blunderbuss, earth-shaped blunderbuss, and even divine flying cannons. Six-pound, seven-pound, or even twenty-pound shells can cause huge damage when driven by a sufficient amount of black gunpowder. It's not something that a mere cannon can match! In particular, the Shenfei Cannon, which weighs a thousand kilograms, not only has a sight, which can increase the chance of hitting an enemy ship, but can also load more than twenty kilograms of stone bullets into the sub-gun, and then use the acceleration of the mother gun to blast these heavy The stone bullets were fired at the enemy ships more than 200 to 500 or 600 paces away! Think about it, what a spectacular thing it would be to be hit by a stone ball weighing more than 20 kilograms on a ship. Even a wooden house boat with thick planks would probably be unbearable if it was hit by one! What's more, the sloop was equipped with more than one divine flying cannon. During a lottery draw, Kang Lin was so lucky that he drew two divine flying cannons at once, plus the two that were rewarded by the system during the previous mission. Chiyang had a total of four thousand-pound Shenfei cannons, and other ships could not equip them due to ship type problems. Kang Lin ordered his flag troops to install all the Shenfei cannons on the sloop! Therefore, the Yuanfang Merchant, equipped with two Ye Gong Shen guns, four sky-shaped cannons, four Ye Gong god cannons, four divine flying cannons, and two powerful cannons, turned into a fire-breathing machine in the eyes of the Koreans. , the evil dragon lashed out with thunder, turning everything it went into scorched earth and dust. The six-kilogram or seven-kilogram shells beat the sailors on board until they cried for their fathers and mothers, and the more than twenty kilograms of stone bullets were even more direct. Cut a big hole in the plank of the cabin boat! Therefore, after Cui Mingji's ship received four or five rounds of artillery shells weighing six to seven kilograms and three rounds of stone bullets weighing more than twenty kilograms, he was very unscrupulous and simply withdrew from the battlefield. If the big house boat is hit by a few more large stone balls at the waterline, it will not be as simple as leaking!
