"Boom, boom, boom" was accompanied by countless huge columns of water that exploded on the surface of the sea, and on the spot, a medium-sized boat with a crew of nearly 100 people and three small boats with a capacity of 20 or 30 people were torn apart by the shells and sank into the sea with thick smoke.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!"

"Where did the shelling come from!" The general of the Japanese Navy on a warship of the Japanese Navy scolded loudly, and looked in the direction from which the shelling came, and immediately thirty huge ocean-going ships appeared in his sight, which were the thirty warships of the Ming East China Sea Fleet commanded by Shen Jingchao.

The general of the Japanese navy was called Nishikawa Ibbe, who was also a high-ranking shogunate, and led more than half of the shogunate's sailor warships, and was ordered by Tokugawa Iemitsu to escort the transport with twenty-two warships, including eight gunboats and fourteen ordinary warships.

The warships of the Wako were not all large warships of the class of ocean-going ships that could carry more than a few hundred people like the Daming East China Sea Fleet, but only one gunboat of the class of ocean-going ships, and the others were ordinary medium and large ships that could carry up to one or two hundred people.

"Yaga!" Nishikawa Ibbe pulled out his katana and pointed in the direction of the East China Sea Fleet's warships and roared: "Kill! ”

After a while, the 22 Japanese warships escorting in all directions all met the Daming East China Sea Fleet.

"Boom Boom"

The water column continued to explode, and the cannonballs exploded on some of the Japanese ships, tearing apart the hulls of the ships, and the powerful air waves also flipped the Japanese on board into the sea.

In the short period of time when the 22 Japanese naval warships converged to meet the attack, nearly 20 Japanese ships transporting supplies were sunk, and one of the naval ships was also sunk and one was damaged, and only 21 Japanese warships actually went to meet the warships of the Daming East China Sea Fleet.

"Hehe, it's good to come, give the order, and bombard the Japanese warship with all your might!" Shen Jingchao put down the binoculars in his hand and ordered with a smile.

The cannons installed on the eight gunboats of the Ming Dynasty are just some copper cannons and iron cannons, with a short range, and the power is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty Yangtze River Inland Water Division, at this moment in Shen Jingchao's eyes, it is already extremely backward, as for the other thirteen ordinary warships that do not even have cannons, in Shen Jingchao's eyes, it is even more insufficient, it can be said that the twenty-one Japanese warships do not pose the slightest threat to the East China Sea Fleet.

As the herald passed on Shen Jingchao's order, the 30 warships of the East China Sea Fleet stopped bombarding the Japanese transport ships, but instead adjusted their gun muzzles, focusing on bombarding the 21 Japanese warships that met them.

At this time, the distance between the 30 warships of the East China Sea Fleet and the 21 Japanese warships was about 1,700 meters.

Although such a distance is close enough to fully exert the power of the warships and cannons of the East China Sea Fleet, because the East China Sea Fleet does not take the Japanese warships in its eyes and is not afraid to get close to them, the East China Sea Fleet warships do not stop sailing forward, and with the speed of the Japanese warships catching up, the two sides can collide within about 300 breaths.

Three hundred breaths is enough for the warships of the East China Sea Fleet to carry out more than a dozen rounds of artillery bombardment, especially the cannons on the Shenwei-class battleships, the rate of fire is faster, and three hundred breaths is even enough for more than 40 rounds of shelling of the Shenwei-class battleships, and the twenty-one Japanese warships will definitely not be sunk before they collide with the warships of the East China Sea Fleet.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom" The East China Sea Fleet ushered in the first salvo of 21 Japanese warships.

Two types of warships, more than 1,000 cannons fired in a salvo, and thousands of shells exploded among the 21 Japanese warships.

Although the twenty-one Japanese warships had not really gathered together and were scattered enough, ten of them were hit directly, including four of the main gunboats.

"Ah" powerful cannonballs exploded on the Japanese warship, tearing the hull of the ship and blowing up many Japanese sailors into the sea.

Wooden warships can't resist the huge power of cannonballs at all, and if you take an ocean-going ship with more than a few hundred people, you can still withstand the explosion of three or four cannonballs, even an ordinary big ship can still block one or two cannonball explosions without sinking, but small and medium-sized ships below a large ship can sink directly after one or two cannonballs hit it.

Three medium-sized warships were directly sunk, five sank at any time with serious injuries, and two were lightly wounded.

"Baga, why is the Ming warship so powerful!" Nishikawa's face turned black and he was extremely angry, and his ship was also hit by a shell in the first round of shelling just now, tearing many parts of the ship, and killing and wounding nearly ten sailors.

At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the Ming Navy was still shocked by Nishikawa Well.

This is the first battle between the Ming Navy and the Ming Navy, the original Ming Navy's specific combat strength, Xichuan Wellside may have heard some of the Ming Navy's achievements over the years from some overseas businessmen, but in the end it was just that I heard that the arrogant Japanese Kou almost didn't pay much attention to it, and Xichuan Wellside was naturally one of them, and at this moment, Xichuan Wellside finally witnessed the combat effectiveness of the Ming Navy, which made his heart palpitate all of a sudden.

Without waiting for Nishikawa Ibe's anger and shock, only five or six breaths apart, the seventeen Kamui-class warships in the East China Sea Fleet carried out a second round of shelling.

"Boom Boom"

Hundreds of shells flew in, this time, six were directly sunk, and the ship on the side of Nishikawa was also hit by three shells again, and the only warship of the ocean ship class on the battlefield has been hit by four shells in a row, and perhaps if one is hit, it will sink directly.

"Yaga" Nishikawa Ibbe put aside the broken wooden planks on his body and climbed up from the cracked deck in great embarrassment.

"Xichuan Jingbian scolded, the Ming battleship is so powerful, the range is long, the power is strong, the rate of fire is so fast, only a few breaths of time, a few breaths!

In fact, more than ten years ago, the Japanese only fought once with a dozen warships of the Dutch.

At the very least, when the Dutch ships opened fire, the ships could not move normally, and had to constantly rotate the sides of the ships to open fire, and the rate of fire was at least twenty or thirty

Only once can the cannon be fired, the Japanese ships will sprint with all their might, and when they lose a certain number of ships, they will at least be able to come into contact with the Dutch warships face to face.

However, in the face of the Daming battleship at this moment, Nishikawa Ibbe only felt powerlessness and despair.

He could see that when the Ming battleship opened fire, not only did it not need to fire from the side, but it did not even affect the navigation of the ship, and the cannon was not comparable to the original Dutch in terms of range, power, or rate of fire, which was too powerful.

"Kill" Nishikawa stood at the bow of the ship in despair, his katana in his hand pointing in the direction of the Ming warship and roaring.

In response to Nishikawa Ibbe, there was another round of shelling of the Daming battleship.

"Boom, boom, boom", huge columns of water continue to explode on the surface of the sea.

Although the ship by Nishikawa Ibbe was extremely lucky not to be hit again, several shells also exploded the water column next to it, and a large amount of seawater splashed on Nishikawa Ibbe's body at the bow of the ship, and it was fiercely swept over on the deck.

In just three rounds of shelling, most of the twenty-one Japanese warships have been sunk in a defenseless manner, and only three warships that are smoking and incapacitating are left to float on the sea, but no one will doubt that as long as the Ming warships shell again, they will all sink into the sea.

"Order, the other ships stop shelling, only the flagship disperses the shelling, and sink the last three Japanese warships!" Shen Jingchao ordered.

At this moment, the only three remaining warships were all seriously injured ships that were about to sink, and each one more cannonball was enough to sink, as the admiral of the East China Sea Fleet, he did not let the thirty warships fire a salvo together, and only let the thirty-six Shenwei-class cannons of his flagship disperse the shelling.

On the warship, all the surviving Japanese were in despair.

Nishikawa was also in despair, he didn't even get up from the cracked deck again, despair and powerlessness swallowed all his fighting spirit.

He had a vague premonition that perhaps this time the shogunate was wrong to send troops to Korea, and it would bring unimaginable disasters to Great Japan.

"Fire!"

"Boom, boom, boom" Shen Jingchao's flagship fired at this moment.

Although only one battleship opened fire, and only thirty-six shells were fired, the gunners who could get on Shen Jingchao's flagship were the most accurate gunners, almost one out of every four to five shells hit, and almost every three wrecked ships were hit by more than two.

"Boom!" A huge explosion enveloped the three wrecked ships with firelight, shredding their hulls and flying planks and debris.

After the explosion, all the Japanese warships sank into the sea.

In less than half a cup of tea, all 22 warships were sunk, and hundreds of ordinary transport ships transporting supplies were frightened and had already scattered and fled for their lives.

"The fleet is scattered and pursues all the Japanese ships, so that none of the Japanese will dare to appear in the Korean Strait!" Shen Jingchao ordered with a cold face.

On that day, the Korean Strait was completely blocked, and without the consent of the Ming Navy, any ship that dared to haunt this sea area would be directly sunk.

Without the transportation and communication of naval vessels, the 150,000 Japanese troops who landed in Korea would be like a lone army with no way out, and would eventually be completely annihilated on the Korean Peninsula.
