Chapter 722: Fire Attack Ship

The sea breeze was howling, and Yue Yun's hair was blown. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He straightened his blue navy robes, his fingers lightly rubbing the naval insignia on his shoulder, on which a sailing battleship was sailing against the waves.

Three months ago, their navy still did not have military uniforms, and the money in the treasury was used by Niu Ben for the army.

So the matter of the navy's military uniforms was approved, but for the time being, as long as some generals have regular military uniforms, others are still dressed as ordinary people.

Thankfully, though, at least the Marines have their own uniforms.

"Xie Yuan is right, the British are indeed difficult to deal with, and it was just a fluke that I was able to come back alive that time." Yue Yun Zhengse said: "But don't be afraid, you only need to fight fiercely when you encounter British warships, British warships have always fought against the enemy, this is the tradition of their navy, if you want to win them, you have to be more ruthless than them." “

Liu Chen and the other generals nodded when they heard this.

At this time, Xie Yuan suddenly said; "By the way, yesterday I met the people in the shipyard, and I overheard them say that the shipyard is going to try to build a brand new warship, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"Brand new battleship." The admirals were most interested in this, and they asked: "What kind of battleship?" “

"I didn't hear that, but it's true." Xie Yuan patted his chest and promised.

Yue Yun frowned, he brought the topic back to normal, "Now that the war in Goryeo is being discussed, what are you doing!" “

Liu Chen and Xie Yuan laughed twice and immediately shut up.

Yue Yun didn't say anything, but he was also looking forward to this new type of warship in his heart, and forcibly suppressed this excitement, he continued: "It is easy to annihilate the Goryeo sailors this time, but it is difficult to let the king of Goryeo open the port, this Goryeo is now in cahoots with the barbarians, as long as he thinks that the power of the barbarians is greater than ours of the Dayu Kingdom, Goryeo will act as a vicious dog of the barbarians to bite us." ”

"In that case, why be polite to them and just smash their dog's teeth." Liu Chen shouted.

"It's not enough to smash the dog's teeth, Goryeo has been able to rely on the master behind them all these years to be so rampant, this time I should let them know that the barbarians can't protect him, so that Goryeo will succumb." Yue Yun said.

The generals nodded their heads.

After talking for a while, Yue Yun saw the sun setting, and then he asked the generals to go back to rest, and they were about to face a naval battle, which had to be recuperated.

The south wind was howling, and the distance of two hundred miles was only one night for the fleet, and the coastline gradually came into view when everyone woke up the next day.

Yue Yun had already woken up, and at this time he was holding a telescope to observe the situation ahead.

According to the information provided by Wang Xuan, the only remaining warships in Goryeo were gathered in Haegugu, and these warships were small in size compared to their warships.

Moreover, the intelligence said that some of the Goryeo warships were now equipped with artillery provided by the barbarians, but there were only a few of them.

Yue Yun was a little worried about this, the time for artillery to appear in Dayu was only five years, but the speed of artillery spread in these five years was very fast.

First the barbarians mastered artillery, and then Goryeo also mastered artillery.

He believed that the invasion of Goryeo by the Japanese Kingdom would soon bring muskets to the Goryeo soldiers.

Thinking of this, Yue Yun's expression was solemn, the enemy is not a fool, if there is a change in the Great Yu Kingdom, they will also respond according to the changing situation.

"Wave the flag, let Liu Chen and Xie Yuan lead the battleship to detour from both sides." Putting down the binoculars, Yue Yun's expression was serious.

"Yes." The lieutenant general had to be ordered to turn and leave.

Under Yue Yun's order, the battleship headed towards the ancient city of Hai in three ways.

At the same time, the Goryeo naval division of Haigugu also discovered the warship group at sea, and the Goryeo soldiers who were in charge of the vigilance immediately went to the naval camp.

"General Park, there are a lot of warships on the sea, and it seems that they are the warships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom." A sailor general said urgently.

Park Jung-tae was the commander of the Goryeo naval division, and when he heard this, he immediately walked out of the camp and went to Haegu Pier, where the 48-8 search battleships were now coming from three directions, as the soldiers said.

"The king should not have given this royal command." There was a hint of anxiety in Park Zhengtai's eyes, as the commander of the sailors, he naturally knew the power of the warships of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Now they have finally fought back from the sea.

"General, what now?" The generals asked.

Park Jung-tae sighed, the war between Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom had just ended, and now the king of Goryeo had attracted an even more formidable opponent.

It's just that now Goryeo has no way to retreat, and they can only fight.

"Order all the soldiers to get on board." Park Jung-tae shouted, he had already made a decision.

The generals had different expressions when they heard this, some of them left in response, and some of them looked hesitant and timid.

It's just that Park Jung-tae, a veteran, no one dares to disobey, so he has to take the order.

At sea, Yue Yun's battleship was getting closer and closer to Haigu City, and Yue Yun said to the deputy general at this time; "Put the fire attack ship down, there are many Goryeo warships on the dock, and it's time to use it."

"Yes, General." Upon receiving the order, the crew immediately lowered the boats from the boat.

The boats were filled with oil and powder kegs, and on top of them was a layer of thatch.

When the ship was lowered, the soldiers dropped their torches on the ship, allowing the ship to drift to the pier of the ancient city with the direction of the wind.

After Yue Yun put down the fire attack ship, the other warships also put down the fire attack ship one after another, and in a short time, there were dozens of fire attack ships in this sea.

These fire attack ships rushed towards the ancient city of Hai like a small fleet.

Yue Yun stared at these attack ships with a telescope, and with the study of naval tactics, he learned a lot of methods of warfare.

This fire attack ship is the method he learned based on the case studies in the book.

Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the fire attack ships entered the port of Haegu City at a very fast speed, and more than 30 fire attack ships loaded with gunpowder entered the gaps of the Goryeo naval warships one by one, and some of them stopped when they hit the battleships, and the flames on the ships continued to burn the hull of the Goryeo warships.

"Put out the fires on these ships."

In a hurry, the current Goryeo sailors were in a mess, and when they saw these burning boats floating over, they instinctively went to extinguish the fire.

It's just that when the soldiers poured water on the fire attack ship, they suddenly found that the ship suddenly gathered up a huge flame.

What they don't know is that every fire attack ship is loaded with tung oil, and when the water gets stained with oil, it will only make bigger sparks like when stir-frying.

In their confusion, a huge flame burned the boat farther away, and with a loud bang and a huge flame rose into the air.

The fire attack ship exploded.
