The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 338 Decisive Battle in the Country of Sakura (11)

During the battle ahead, he took two [-]-material warships, escorted the chariot behind, and nearly [-] small boats behind him.

All the small boats were chained together and towed by warships. On each small boat, there were four dead sailors and a large amount of flammable and explosive materials such as gunpowder and hay.

Seeing the big battle ahead, Naota Yuji immediately ordered: "Untie the boat and let the boat go forward."

Flags were quickly raised on the warship.

The dead soldiers on the boat were basically the shogunate's own people.

Hearing the order, they all shouted: "Long live."

"Long live the general."

Then they untied the chains one after another, and the four of them paddled vigorously to drive the boat forward.

At this moment, suddenly, from the back of Takashima, a black shadow appeared from the west direction.

Naota stared wide-eyed, the Ming army still has warships encircling us from the west, is this trying to catch us all?
Just kidding.

"Up, up, up." Naota Yuji did not hesitate, and ordered the rear team of warships to meet him.

But at this time, many ships were fleeing. There were originally more than 300 warships, but over a hundred were cut off by the Ming army in the front, and then more than a dozen ships began to flee behind.

The rest are either watching or turning around, and not many are willing to rush forward.

A small warship costs 6000 taels and a large one costs 2 taels. If it is sunk, will the shogunate pay for it?

It's not a national war right now, it's just a fight for the shogunate's silver mountain, so everyone is naturally unwilling to fight desperately.

So after Naoda Yuji gave the order, less than [-] warships from the rear team greeted them.

And there are more than 30 warships of the Ming army on the opposite side, more than them.

These Ming people's boats circled around behind Takashima in an orderly manner, then lined up, went south along Takashima, and cut into their fleet.

In this way, the warships of the Ming people were divided into two routes, and the Japanese navy was cut into three parts.

The right-wing cannons of all the Ming people's ships are all facing Naota Yuji's side, and the left-wing cannons are all facing the coalition warships that were cut in the middle.

Boom, boom, Mingren's cannons fired consecutively, and the hit rate was not high, but they couldn't stand up to many cannons.

After the first round of more than 30 boats, three of the more than 20 boats that Naoda rushed up were hit.

One of them was directly damaged, unable to move in place.

But after the fight, Mingren's boat didn't stop and continued to drive forward.

Naoda Yuji was horrified to find that Akito's ship was circling their fleet.

At this time, they cut off their Mingren ship for the first time and turned to the right.

Cut off their Mingren ship a second time and turn left.

The boats of both teams of Mingren were circling.

The ships of the Japanese navy gathered densely in their circle.

Mingren's boat fired around while firing.Obviously Mingren's boats are much less than theirs, but after this fight, it feels like Mingren's boats are everywhere.

This is a very professional naval tactic. Naoda Yuji was terrified when he saw it. The pirates here and there are simply red-haired officers (Dutch Navy).

At this moment, he could also see that his own warship was no match for the Ming warship, and only relying on the fire attack of the small boat would be effective.

At this time, the small boat in the rear team was paddling forward desperately.

At this time, Ding Yi was standing on board the Xu Dabao.

This is his earliest warship, and it is also a small warship brought out from Xu Dabao.

This boat is small, only [-] materials, so he feels relatively safe.

That's right, right now the Japanese navy is bombarding the two thousand and one thousand ships in his fleet.

In the subconscious of the devil, he must have thought that the commander of the enemy army would definitely stay on the largest and strongest ship.

But Ding Yi was afraid of death, he was not that stupid, so he found an inconspicuous boat and stayed at the end.

At this time, fighting was everywhere on the sea. Dongjiang's ships used the tactics of Xilaojing, circling in circles, circling around Japan and ships.

He said it was called: "Swarm Shark Attack".

When sharks attack humans, they like to circle their prey a few times to find a breakthrough.

It sounds plausible, but the point is that it works.

And it is more useful on the side with fewer ships.

His ship was divided into three teams. Two teams cut the Japanese ship into three pieces and began to circle around.

This is to concentrate firepower and destroy the front part of the navy first, because the Japanese big ships are basically concentrated in the front half.

Ding Yi's boat appeared at the end, which was the wave that Naoda Yuji saw. They circled behind Takashima, fired guns as they circled, and immediately confronted the Japanese navy behind.

In terms of shooting, Ding Yi has never lost.

After going around half a circle, he had already played three rounds and hit five ships.

But this is just an appetizer, because the distance between the two sides is still far away, the hit rate is not high, and Ding Yi's secret weapon has not yet officially started.

At this time, the devil's boat began to enter the battlefield.

In fact, it is not a good time for the boat to cut in at this time.

Because the ships of both sides are overlapping and both are sailing, the best time to attack is at night when the ships stop at the entrance of the lane.

But there is no such opportunity now, Naoda Yuji also ordered a fire attack.

The boats rowed forward one after another.

But luck was not on the devil's side, and soon they found that the wind suddenly blew up, and it was against the wind.

The boat was exhausted, but the speed was extremely slow.

But the Ming people's cannons would not stop, and they continued to hit the Japanese navy.

Originally, there was a little distance between their big ship and the big ship, and the artillery hit rate was not high.

Right now, many small boats rushed in, and there were small boats between the big boats.

Bang, bang, bang, this time not only the big ship was hit, but many shells hit the small boat directly after emptying the big ship.

Boom, a shell just hit a boat.

Puchi, the boat was almost torn apart.

The next moment, huh, a fire ignited directly on the boat, and then with a bang, the fire oil on it exploded.

The four sailors on board jumped into the sea one after another.

A gust of sea wind blew by, and the broken boat was uncontrolled, swimming backwards.

A Japanese warship in the back was bombarding the Ming people, and when someone saw it, they were already in a hurry.

"Fire boat, fire boat, get out of the way."

At this time, it was too late to move away, the half of the small boat was blown extremely fast by the headwind, and hit the big boat with a bang.

The ship quickly caught fire.

The sailors above tried to treat it, but found it was useless. There was kerosene on board, and it burned more and more vigorously.

Many people felt bad and jumped into the sea.

It didn't take long for Naota Yuji to realize that something was wrong. The boat could not go up against the wind, but because of too many boats, it was easily hit by Mingren's cannon.

Once hit, the boat backs up and crashes into other boats.

Sometimes the boat bumps into the smaller boat, and sometimes it hits the larger ship.

In less than two hours, fires were burning everywhere on the sea, and many ships were on fire, and almost all of them were Japanese navy ships.

Is this attacking people with fire or attacking yourself with fire?
Naoda was dumbfounded.

Fortunately, there were still many small boats rushing in front of the Ming army ship. Naota Yuji watched the two small boats collide with a big Ming ship with a bang.

"Okay." Naoda Yuji was so ecstatic that he almost jumped up on the boat.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, there are still [-] tickets to complete [-].
