"Boom boom" Soon, another round of bombardment of the Daming battleship hit.

"Click!" A cannonball accurately hit the tortoiseshell ship where Li Yumin was located, and the tortoiseshell ship where Li Yumin was located was immediately blown up to the hull of the ship, sawdust flew sideways, and even a mast was blown off.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! "Three more exploded in the surrounding sea, creating huge columns of water.

Li Yumin was shaken over on the tortoiseshell boat, and was drenched by the blown seawater, which finally made him come back to his senses in shock!

"Fight back! Fight back! Li Yumin quickly got up, with a black face, and yelled angrily.

It is a pity that in the fierce artillery fire of the Ming Navy, the entire Korean naval army has been in chaos, and only a few tortoiseshell ships received Li Yumin's order and fired a cannon in the direction where the Ming naval fleet was located.

"Bang! Bang! "With the fire and white smoke from the muzzle of the cannon, several iron balls slightly larger than fists were shot out, and after flying a distance of about five or six hundred meters, they fell into the turbulent sea, and exploded several half-human-high water columns. It's a pity that the Ming fleet was nearly two thousand meters away, and a few iron balls couldn't even cross half the distance.

North Korea's tortoiseshell ships are not only peculiar on the surface, they can be rammed and defended, and each ship is also equipped with two copper cannons in the bow, if these two copper cannons are used to deal with ordinary pirates and the like, they may be invincible, but if they are compared with the warship cannons of the Ming Navy, they are not much worse.

Li Yumin's eyes were not blind, he saw the result of his tortoiseshell boat returning fire, and watched the water column that fell five or six hundred meters away, only exploded on the surface of the sea that was half a person high and could barely be seen, Li Yumin almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood.

This was too great a blow to him, the enemy was nearly two thousand meters away, and his tortoiseshell ship could only hit a distance of five or six hundred meters at the farthest, and the power of the iron ball shot was so small.

At this moment, the fourth round of artillery bombardment of the Ming Dynasty was prepared, not only twenty Shenwei-class battleships, but also twelve Shenwu-class battleships were all loaded, and the fourth round of shelling was the same as the first round, thirty-two battleships fired at the same time, and it was another round of thousands of cannons.

"Boom Boom"

Countless shells rained down on the fleet of the North Korean navy.

The DPRK navy ships of all sizes, such as tortoiseshell boats and small ones, could not even carry more than 10 people, totaling nearly 300 ships, which were distributed on the sea surface of the Yalu River estuary, and appeared to be extremely dense, with almost one out of every eight or so shells hitting the DPRK ships.

"Bang! Boom! The water column exploded, and many North Korean ships sank with it.

Four rounds of artillery bombardment, a total of nearly 4,000 shells were smashed, nearly 100 ships of the DPRK Navy were hit, some small boats with less than 10 people were disintegrated on the spot after only one shell was hit, and the entire hull was blown to pieces, and more than 30 ships have been sunk, which is as powerful as this!

The tortoiseshell boat where Li Yumin was located was hit by another shell, and the previous one, the tortoiseshell boat where Li Yumin was located had been hit by two shells, half of the hull was destroyed, and a large number of North Korean naval soldiers were blown up and thrown into the sea.

Although the design of the tortoiseshell ship has certain characteristics, it is not as good as the sea ship, and it is not as good as the battleship transformed from the sea ship, if it is a sea ship, it can withstand about six shells, and the most powerful tortoiseshell ship in North Korea can be sunk with only four shells, and even if it hits the vital point, three can be sunk, that is to say, the tortoiseshell ship where Li Yumin is located, if it is hit by two more shells, it should basically sink.

At this moment, Li Yumin has long lost the vigor before the war.

"Why isn't my big tortoiseshell ship the most powerful!" Li Yumin's eyes were bloodshot, and he screamed.

Li Yumin couldn't believe that the Ming Navy could launch such a fierce attack from two thousand meters away, thirty-two Ming warships, only thirty-two, and it was nearly two kilometers away that his Korean naval army could already suffer such a huge loss.

This is not the most painful, the most painful thing is that you can't fight back, you can't hurt the Ming battleship in the slightest, you can't fight back just by being beaten, and you can't fight back, and you can watch your own ships die in the sea one by one under the bombardment of the Ming battleship's gunfire.

Not only Li Yumin, but also the other North Korean naval soldiers were also frightened stupidly, their faces turned pale one by one, and their expressions were full of horror when they looked at the thirty-two Ming Navy warships that were still nearly two thousand meters away.

"Boom, boom, boom" is another round of shelling.

Countless columns of water exploded, accompanied by a large amount of wood chips that were blown out after the hull was hit, and this time, together with some of the ships that had been severely damaged, more than a dozen North Korean ships, large and small, sank under shelling.

The North Korean navy has less than 300 ships, but now more than 50 have been sunk, and another 100 have been more or less damaged, which means that the Ming Navy is still 1,500 meters away, and more than half of the North Korean ships have been sunk or damaged.

Here, there is no difference between tortoiseshell ships and other ordinary ships, the biggest difference is only which North Korean ship can withstand one or two more shells.

Although the tortoiseshell ship where Li Yumin was located was not hit again, Li Yumin was already desperate, this was not a symmetrical naval battle at all, the strength of the Ming naval fleet was too strong for North Korea to match.

More than 1,500 meters away, the ships of the Ming Navy were sailing forward while firing their guns.

Shen Jingchao observed the situation of the North Korean naval army through a telescope.

"Heh, Lao Tzu originally thought that the commander of the North Korean Navy had some strategy, but now it seems that the commander of the North Korean Navy must be a straw bag, not only the formation is full of loopholes in wartime, but also he must not have understood the combat methods of the Ming Navy in advance!" Shen Jingchao scoffed.

Over the years, the Ming Navy has fought many times with foreigners in the South Seas, if the Koreans have known the Ming Navy in advance, they will definitely be able to understand the Tao, and not at this moment, in the face of the Ming Navy was suddenly blinded, and it can be said that from the beginning of the formation to let the Ming Navy attack.

"The North Korean naval army is defeated, and there is no room for recovery!" Shen Jingchao said categorically.

"In order to prevent the ships of the North Korean Navy from escaping, the order was issued that the fleet formed a fan formation and blocked all the ships of the North Korean Navy on the sea at the mouth of the Yalu River, and not a single one of them could be let go!" Shen Jingchao calmly ordered.

As the flag soldier waved the flag, the flag was played.

The thirty-two warships of the Daming East China Sea Fleet gradually lined up in formation according to Shen Jingchao's instructions, and continued to press on the Korean naval forces while firing their guns.

As for the North Korean navy, the successive heavy losses have spread despair among the North Korean navy.

Anyone who is beaten in such a situation and cannot fight back, can only watch in horror as powerful shells fall on their heads and do not despair. The Ming Navy is too strong to match!

"Boom!" A cannonball once again accurately hit the tortoiseshell ship where Li Yumin was.

Although Li Yumin was lucky not to be killed directly, the tortoiseshell ship he was on could no longer support it, and the hull began to tilt, fearing that it would sink to the bottom of the sea soon.

"No, the ship is sinking, it's going to run!" Some of the surviving North Korean sailors fled on the sinking hull.

"Dadu Governor" had soldiers help Li Yumin up.

"Governor, the ship is sinking, you should run away!" The soldier said to Li Yumin.

Li Yumin's expression was abrupt, escape? Where can he flee to? At this moment, all his illusions had been shattered by the Ming naval fleet, and he vaguely remembered how when he left Seoul, how he assured the king and the Korean people that he could defeat the Ming navy and prevent the Ming army from crossing the Yalu River.

Now, if he returns with such a fiasco, what will the king and the Korean people think of him, not only will he not be a hero, but I am afraid that he will become a sinner.

"Order the remaining naval vessels to disperse and flee, leaving a little naval blood for North Korea!" Li Yumin ordered with a dead heart.

"Dadu Governor" The soldier beside him shouted at Li Yumin in shock.

"Go!" Li Yumin yelled.

However, before the soldier could convey the order, another round of artillery bombardment came from the Ming naval fleet.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

"Bang!"

"Click"

Two more shells hit the tortoiseshell ship, which was about to fall silent, and the powerful force of the shells directly tore the entire tattered hull into pieces of wooden planks.

A cannonball hit Li Yumin's side.

Li Yumin and the North Korean naval soldier beside him were simultaneously lifted into the sky by the powerful power of the cannonballs.

Li Yumin only felt that his body was torn apart, and before he lost consciousness, all his high spirits and blood turned into a trace of bitterness and sadness, he thought, the Ming naval fleet is too powerful, and it is not something that they North Korea can fight against at all, maybe he can't blame him for his improper command, and any other general to command the North Korean naval army will not be able to reverse the defeat at the moment.

Li Yumin's death and the sinking of the tortoiseshell ship he was on were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the surviving Korean naval soldiers, destroying all their morale and will to resist to the point of invincibility.

Since the beginning of the war, more than a dozen rounds of shelling and nearly 20,000 shells have been baptized, and nearly 300 ships of various sizes in the DPRK have sunk more than 100, and almost all of the rest have been damaged to a greater or lesser extent.

A large number of corpses of North Korean naval soldiers floated on the sea, and the entire sea was stained red with blood, which was extremely miserable.

"Run!" The remaining more than 100 North Korean ships, large and small, fled to the left and right.

It's a pity that at this time, the thirty-two Ming Navy warships have formed a line of fan-shaped formations and pressed over.

"We can't let the North Korean naval ships escape, and all the first to escape will be sunk!" Shen Jingchao ordered indifferently.

"Fire!"

"Boom Boom"

The North Korean ships that were the first to flee to the sea on both sides were attacked with a focused attack, and a large number of ships were torn apart and sunk into the sea along with countless columns of water that were blown up, and the North Korean naval soldiers on them were either killed or fell into the sea and struggled.

About a dozen ships were sunk in the process of escaping to the sides.

As a lesson from the past, the North Korean naval soldiers were pale and full of fear, and no ships tried to flee to the sea on either side.

As the warships of the Ming Navy gradually formed a three-sided encirclement, the soldiers of the North Korean Navy were desperate.

Suddenly, I don't know who took the lead, a large number of surviving North Korean ships broke out of the mouth of the Yalu River and fled into the Yalu River.

The surviving 100 North Korean ships all began to pour into the Yalu River.

Shen Jingchao witnessed all this through the telescope and sneered: "Kill yourself!" ”

In the face of the encirclement of the warships of the Ming Navy, entering the Yalu River was also a dead end, and the ships had no way to escape. However, after entering the Yalu River, if the North Korean naval soldiers on the boat wanted to escape, they could dock and then abandon the ship and go ashore, but this also meant that the ship would be handed over to the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers of the North Korean Navy did not care about all this, and after hundreds of surviving ships entered the Yalu River, they sailed to the shore one after another, and some of the eager North Korean Navy soldiers even jumped from the boats into the water and swam to the shore when the boats had just entered the shallow water area.

The Ming naval warships soon sailed into the Yalu River.

"Fire!"

"Boom Boom"

Countless columns of water exploded around and several boats torn apart by shells drove the North Korean naval soldiers to speed up to the shore to flee for their lives, and more North Korean naval soldiers jumped directly into the river and swam to the shore without waiting for the boats to dock.

Hundreds of large and small ships, ships crowded with boats, crowded with people. As more and more North Korean naval soldiers couldn't wait to jump directly into the river from the boat, there was a black figure on the river.

Dense North Korean naval soldiers swam towards the riverbank.

"Stop shelling!" At the mouth of the river, more than a dozen Ming Navy warships had already sailed into the estuary, and Shen Jingchao suddenly ordered all warships to stop shelling.

Since the North Koreans have fled, then the hundreds of large and small ships are the Ming Dynasty, and it is a pity to be damaged.

However, the North Koreans on the shore can still bomb him with a few shots, at least drive the North Koreans to flee quickly, so that the empty ships can be left behind.

"Order two warships to fire on the North Koreans on the shore!" Shen Jingchao ordered again.

"Boom, boom, boom" The two warships that received the order opened fire on the soldiers of the North Korean Navy who had fled to the shore.

Many North Korean sailors were killed, forcing the remaining North Koreans to speed up their flight.

In just half an hour, the soldiers of the Korean Navy on hundreds of large and small boats all fled, leaving them to sway on the river.

The naval soldiers on several warships of Shen Jingchao's army approached and captured those empty ships.

At the same time, Shen Jingchao ordered several warships to march towards the interior of the Yalu River, clear the North Korean resistance on the river, and completely control the entire Yalu River.
