Chapter 137. Da'an House
It's really a typical Asian naval battle.
Although in Mao Jue's view, the Li Koreans really didn't learn much from the Ming Dynasty, at least the Ming Dynasty's creed is to teach without class, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, whether it is the son of a businessman or the son of a poor household, as long as he studies hard, he still has the opportunity to set foot in the officialdom, just like Hong Chengchou was young and poor, and he also sold stinky dried seeds, and finally became the governor of the three sides, a member of the first product, in the Ming Dynasty, the court is Tian Shelang, and the Xiden Tianzitang is not a fairy tale, it is a reality.
And the Li Dynasty is still the kind of aristocratic blood birth system, although also practiced Confucianism, but if there is no background, there is no qualification to study, let alone be an official, the entire Li Dynasty, 80% of the people with household registration belong to the fallen people and untouchables, born slaves, to work for the nobles of the noble clan for generations, as cattle and horses, and never come out.
The system of social class rigidity is barbaric enough, but even so, Li Shanhai still regarded himself as a civilized person in the Chinese civilization circle, first set up a position, and then sent a messenger with a declaration of war to duty How did the Japanese invade the sacred territory of his Li family's North Korea, Yunyun, tossed for more than half an hour, and the messenger sent over was hung on the sail, cut off his nose and ears and put them back, looking at the Li Dynasty flagship, the civil and military two classes hung and hung and screamed, Mao Jue was speechless and put down the binoculars, Turning his head to the helmsman captain who had borrowed from Phi Dao, he ordered.
"Turn right to rudder southeast!"
"The last general obeys!"
Why bother? If Mao Jue commands the army of the Li Dynasty, the direct artillery will give you a round first, who are the Japanese Kou? Bandit! What do you reason with the robbers? Innocently hurting others and demoralizing, expecting those untouchable soldiers to sympathize with the nobles? Triggering anger? It can only be said that Li Shanhai thinks too much.
However, Mao Jue didn't think about helping, who let Li Shanhai have to grab this command, besides, don't look at him as a sail battleship, the naval battle in Dongjiang Town is actually not much, it is more just bullying the landlubbers who can't go to the sea, rashly participating in the big war, it is likely to suffer a loss, in this case, it is better to pull to the agreed southwest corner first to see how Li Shanhai fights, and it is also good to learn some experience and learn some experience.
Speaking kung fu, the angry soldier Cao Judge Lang had already waved the flag and blew the battle horn, and then squatted down the binoculars, Mao Jue even liked this irritable scholar a little, what a selfless person! used the blood and lives of his soldiers to increase the naval battle of the Ming army, relying on the high sails of his ship, Mao Jue not only peeped at himself, but also gave an order to Adriana when he turned his head.
"Let Wen Meng and them stop doing anything, come and watch the fun!"
On the three Ming army giant ships that were driving, a row of binoculars obscenely came out from the deck and the bird's nest.
However, as soon as the war started, Li Shanhai's choice made Mao Jue's brows twist into a pimple.
Li Chao's naval division has the advantage of firearms, the Japanese army continued the disadvantage of the Wanli Korean War, lack of artillery, Li Shanhai's Banwu ship also has at least five bronze cannons, the most has twenty, it can be completely in accordance with the Mingliang naval battle of the way of play, the ship to the side, I will fight, wait for you to come to the door, but this time, Li Shanhai directly ordered the whole army to attack.
The middle road was spearheaded by turtle ships, and more than 100 warships were divided into three routes, just like flying cranes, and the three roads directly penetrated into the Japanese army battle array.
In terms of quantity, the Japanese are really inferior, although there are more than a hundred large and small warships, but more of them are the kind of small bow Xiaozao, which is only more than ten meters, and can only carry a dozen people, but it is really about combat effectiveness, and the Japanese show Mao Jue its crazy side.
One by one, it was really like a death, against the roaring artillery fire of the board house boat, the small haya boat group bit up like a pack of wolves, and the short Japanese warriors bit their knives and hands and feet together, and quickly grabbed the oars of the board house boat and climbed up, and the Li Chao soldiers above shot arrows downward in horror, and some were shot into the water only halfway through the climb, but the Japanese bow warrior pulled the longbow at the back, this kind of more than one meter long Japanese bow actually can't shoot far, but the lethality at close range is amazing, just more than 30 meters, The untouchable-born Li Chaobing, who lacked armor, was shot down like dumplings, and after all, there were still Japanese warriors who climbed onto the deck and slaughtered the gunners and archers on the deck.
In the movie "The Battle of Mingliang", Yi Sunsin relied on his own boat, and the sailors and monks on the boat were like they couldn't die, and they didn't know that several Japanese boats were killed by him.
However, the reality is that as long as there are two bow boats, and the cannon is pasted on the jade boat, almost more than 100 Korean soldiers on board, the sailors will not be able to stop them, and some of the banya ships on the edge will begin to fall, and the bronze artillery on them will hit their own fleet.
Moreover, the arquebuses of the Japanese people were much more advanced than the musket guns of the Korean army, and it was really as if the square ships of the sea castle were close to the range of the guns, and the rows of Japanese iron gunners on the top of the ship directly shot down the dense bullets, and in the scalp-numbing buzz, a large row of Li Chao archers immediately died.
However, the Japanese people have a weapon that makes Mao Jue quite interested, that is, the kind of cannon jade in their mouths, in fact, it is a black and swarthy iron ball, the year after tomorrow, plug in a fire rope, throw it up, and immediately be able to explode Li Chaobing Ding cried dad and shouted mother in the explosion and roar, relying on this, the Japanese made up for the firepower gap, more than a dozen cannon jade was thrown into the board house, and then the samurai with the knife in his hand could go up to harvest.
This thing is a primitive grenade.
There are similar grenadiers in the West, and it is estimated that these Japanese also learned from the Dutch and Portuguese whom they called Nanban, but in the army sequence of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Jue did not find this kind of troops.
"Grenades!"
took out a small notebook, and Mao Jue wrote it on it again.
On the battlefield, although the Japanese were brave enough and not afraid of death, the whole situation was still facing Li Shanhai, after all, in terms of numbers and weapons, it was Li Chao's naval division that had the advantage, and the turtle boat formation, as the vanguard, had deeply penetrated into the Chinese army of the Japanese army.
No wonder Yi Sunsin wanted to use a turtle boat to fight the Japanese invaders, this ship had no deck, only a roof, or nails covered with iron nails, the big barrels of the Japanese people, muskets, bows and arrows clanged on it, at most leaving a mark, and the Japanese warriors who jumped up in the boat battle could not enter, as if a dog had no way to bite a hedgehog, but the turtle boat was bumpy, either they fell into the sea, or fell on a nail of more than ten centimeters, piercing the heart.
Supporting such a turtle shell, the turtle boat is simply rampant and domineering in the Japanese array, relying on its own strength, no matter what ship directly hits it, even some old points of the ship, they are directly knocked into the flowers, the Japanese on it screamed and fell into the water, those bows Xiaozao, the cannon brand jade Xiaozao is even more broken when touched, knocked on the break, more than half an hour of fierce battle, the Japanese are almost cut into two pieces, completely encircled.
However, if the battlefield is so smooth sailing, it will not be called a battlefield.
Just when Mao Jue put down the binoculars and really felt that there was nothing to learn, the situation reversed again.
There is no open-air deck, the defense is up, but it also means that the vision is worse, the turtle boat has a forward observation port below the * head, just when a turtle boat is still rampage arrogant, I didn't see anything clearly, and suddenly hit my own side, at first the Li Dynasty soldiers on the turtle boat didn't care, and wanted to stick on the ship nails as usual, and then use bronze artillery to smash the opponent's deck, but without waiting to turn around, a terrifying force that can be called wild suddenly crowded over.
In the frightened shouts of those Li Chao sailors, the hard shell of the turtle ship cracked and deformed, and then the whole ship fell left and right, and turned over with a bang, and the sea instantly detained the whole ship and swallowed it in the cold deep sea.
"Ataka ship!"
Beside Mao Jue, the Wenmeng veteran who participated in the Wanli Korean War shouted solemnly with his hands on the pergola.
This is the disadvantage of the lack of reconnaissance, a seventy meters, similar to the Mao Jue giant ship, looks like a large ship with three smaller than this kind of giant ship, more than 50 meters of the big ship from Jeju Island inland river sailed out, I don't know when, also arrived at the center of the battlefield, no wonder it is called an house boat, the Japanese simply installed the castle tower on it, the wooden fort is almost two-thirds as high as Mao Jue's sails, above, there are these two palaces to make high-end kind of pointed eaves boathouse, and this thing is actually covered with iron, The black and red iron plates encased the entire ship, and compared to them, the turtle boat seemed to be a small beetle again.
Lacking a field of vision, he didn't see the flags that the command ship behind him was waving desperately, and the turtle boats still rammed into several giants, and the nails on their bodies collided with the iron armor of the Ataka ship, and they immediately fired with bronze cannons.
But before they could penetrate it, overhead, the deafening impact sound came suddenly, once, twice, three times, even the iron-clad bunch of the bunch could not withstand such a huge force, in the frightened shouts of Li Chao's soldiers and horses, the bunch collapsed, and it was also wrapped in steel, and the horizontal wood with spikes did not know how many people's flesh and blood had rolled, and it was pulled up again, and then, the jar wrapped in straw containing fire oil was thrown down, and the turtle boat without the tortoise shell suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and the generals of the warrior clan who were on fire, The Dalit soldiers all screamed and jumped into the sea.
A mountain is always higher than a mountain, the rampant and domineering ghost ship, hit the armored Da'an house that is more rampant and domineering than them, and what they got is only destruction, once in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Gaozong era crusaded against Goguryeo Baekje, the Japanese sent troops to help, more than 50,000 Japanese troops took advantage of the small morning, let Liu Renliang thousands of Tang troops with tall building boats, and heavy outrageous slap rods to kill a river of blood, the battle of the mouth of the Baicun River, the Japanese country was honest for hundreds of years, and also changed their shipbuilding methods.
During the Warring States period of Japan, Oda Nobunaga attacked Ishiyama Honganji Temple, the Mori family sailors came to the rescue, and the pirate Daimyo Kuki Masataka who took refuge in the Oda family was wrapped in iron on the Oyataku ship, equipped with Western Fran machine guns, and defeated the Maori sailors who were rampant in the Seto Inland Sea with armored Ataka ships.
These things put the Japanese in front of them together, the upper floor of the ship, the Fran machine gun and the iron cannon, the large cylinder sprayed wantonly, the Li Chaoban house ship within a few hundred meters was all affected by it, it was close, and the wolf tooth slap rod of nearly a ton of thousands of catties was smashed down like this, even the turtle boat had to be smashed, and the appearance of these four giants directly made the offensive formation that Li Shanhai broke through in the middle of the road rout, and the battle situation was quickly reversed.
"General! Commander Li sent a signal for us to join the attack!"
put down the binoculars, but Mao Jue rubbed his eyes lazily.
"After all, it's a friendly army, pass the order, hang the battle flag of Ben Shuai and Daming, and then, go to the southwest corner!"
Just kidding, aren't you Li Shanhai very good? Then you will continue to carry it, Lao Tzu Mao Jue is not your father, and he will take care of you again, and when you are almost consumed, Lao Tzu will clean up the mess!
Overhead, the flaming Daming battle flag and the Maozi battle flag were flying high again and holding his arms, Mao Jue was thinking beautifully underneath, but he didn't know that this time, the two flags caused him trouble again.
"Will, General! It seems that they are coming for us!"
