As far as the Japanese invaders were concerned, the focus of the war against Korea was to invade and occupy the entire territory of Korea at a rapid pace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info determined the rule, and then operated it as a base for attacking the Ming Dynasty.

The purpose of the battle in advance was on land, and the sea could not be taken into account, so he actually asked Yi Sunsin, the Jeolla Provincial Governor of the Left Water, to bring out more than 50 ships, and along the way, the sailors of Gyeongsang-do and Chungcheong-do came to defect, and by the time they arrived at Incheon, there were already 135 ships.

The essence of the Korean naval division was in Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province, and the left water envoy of Jeolla Province had the highest status in various places, and there was no general with a higher official rank than Yi Sun-sin's in the various fleets that came to join him this time, so naturally, the head of this naval division became Yi Sunsin.

When the remnants of the Korean sailors arrived at Incheon, they knew that the king and ministers of Korea had arrived in Daming.

It's okay for them to be active in other places, but they can't allow the Japanese to operate in Incheon, and Seoul is the heartland of the Japanese invaders' Korean strategy, and it is absolutely not tolerated.

The Japanese contempt for North Korea's military strength is abnormal, because North Korea's land performance is really a mess, and even if they want to come to the navy, they don't go anywhere, they are all like chickens and dogs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the battle began, fifteen of the two dozen warships of the Japanese were sunk in the first battle, and the rest were all burned.

It was obviously not as convenient to transport grain from Busan to Seoul by land as to Incheon and then to Seoul by Hansu, and the Japanese gathered more than 90 warships to go there.

This battle is not much different from the last battle, five tortoiseshell ships directly crashed into the center of the Korean naval division, the flowering board house ship was cruising outside, constantly sinking and setting fire, after this station, the Japanese lost more than 4,000 yuan, it was a great defeat in the battle at sea, the commanders of each army were shaken, the news even returned to the main island of the Japanese invaders, a great name was furious, the Japanese want to maintain the war against Korea, at present, the sea route can not be cut off, North Korea is barren to this point is not expected, The army of the Ming Dynasty in the north has already been pressed, and the transportation of materials and even the withdrawal of soldiers and horses at a critical time must be through the sea route, cutting off the sea route, which is a major event that turns the world upside down.

Now in this situation, there are already people who want to withdraw troops from North Korea, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who has always been a clear judgment, is now persistent, and the people who went to test the tone were scolded back, and now everyone shrank, and there were faint rumors that Tokugawa Ieyasu fully supported the continuation of the Korean conquest of the Western Kingdom and Kyushu, and the daimyo were scolded in private, and they didn't do Kanto things, and they didn't have a backache when they spoke.

The sailors who lost in the two naval battles were the most elite troops of the Japanese Invaders, and they were all known as the strongest pirates somewhere, who would have thought that it would be so unbearable.

If it were a normal situation, these people would not be able to do it, and other people would not be able to do it, but now it is different, and Shen Yuan's fleet is also among the sailors of the Japanese Kou.

The Third Naval Battle was fought near the mouth of the bay between Gyeonggi-do and Chungcheong-do, and in the bay there were more than 50 warships of the Japanese invaders, which were blocked by Korean sailors.

At first, the warships of the Japanese still wanted to fight but had no power to fight back, their tactics were nothing more than close to arson and jumping gangs, the Japanese warriors wanted to repay the country with death, and bravely stepped forward, but when they came to the front of them, there was nowhere to climb, not to mention, they still fell into the old end, and were shot and killed one by one after being knocked and sunk.

After sinking and destroying nearly ten ships, the rest of the warships shrank back, trying to rely on the defense on the shore to resist, but what is on the shore, can bows and arrows, iron cannons and large cylinders cause damage to such ships, and the rise of the Korean naval army simply rushed into the bay.

The ships in the bay had little resistance, but the soldiers finally had a chance to go ashore, and they could only watch their ships on fire one by one from the shore in despair.

Just as the Korean sailors were about to return victoriously with a swagger, Shen Vao's fleet arrived, and the battle began again near the mouth of the bay.

Shen Vao's fleet is a total of more than 70 ships, mainly the Guangzhou ship, the Ming Dynasty's Guangzhou ship is much larger than the Japanese warships, and the movement is also flexible and fast, not to mention that Shen Vao's subordinates are all old fur seals at sea for many years, and the tactics at sea are much stronger than any Japanese naval army.

As soon as the battle began, the tortoiseshell ships of the North Korean sailors rushed towards Shen Yu's fleet, trying to disrupt the opponent's formation, and then ram and fight. However, Shen Yu immediately released the fire boat, this kind of fire ship is a small-scale Guangzhou ship, there are big iron nails in the bow, and there are iron hooks and iron claws on the ship, and it hits head-on, and the iron nails are nailed to the ship, and the iron hooks and claws hook the protrusions of the ship, and then start to set fire, and the ship can't get rid of it, and it will be burned together.

Shen Yuan's men avoided the collision of the tortoiseshell boats and released the fire boats, which nailed the three board house boats, and the rest were freed from the fire, and then the fire was ignited.

The Han pirates were far more capable of maneuvering ships than the Japanese and Koreans, and when the tortoiseshell ships rushed up, the already dense fleet immediately dispersed. But there is a problem, the boat that relies on the wind wants to maneuver and change direction, the wind is fine, if it is not in the wind direction, then it has to go around in a circle or around, put down the sails, the tortoiseshell boat and the board house boat that row small oars to move forward are much more powerful in a short distance, there are two ships of 300 materials can not dodge, they are directly destroyed, and two are set on fire, so they go far away, and they are in a hurry to extinguish the fire.

Immediately, several ships responded, these ships looked like Western ships, but the size was not as good as the tortoiseshell ship and the banya ship, and they would definitely suffer when they collided, and the Korean sailors were also fierce and rushed over, but there were artillery on these ships.

The armed merchant ships that Shen Vao had ordered during the Tianjin Wei period were used here, and when the tortoiseshell ship and the Banwu ship approached, the artillery salvo was fired.

Thick enough planks can also withstand artillery fire, but tortoiseshell boats and board house ships have many holes, these holes and the surrounding area are weak points, especially the area that sticks out of the oars, that side is where the ship's mobility lies, because the wooden oars must be thick, this side is also the weakest, the ship's double deck, the second layer of artillery can just hit, the position of the oars, after the second round of shelling, there are two board house ships have lost their combat effectiveness, and what is more troublesome is that the ships that have lost their mobility have not had time to raise their sails, Another pirate approached with a ship and threw it with a quilt felt stained with oil, and the other ships did not eat this at all, and the quilt felt would only fall into the sea, but for the tortoiseshell ship and the board house, the hull was full of barbs and spikes to prevent climbing, and the quilt could easily be hung on it, and then an arrow to ignite the fire was enough.

Several board house ships were on fire, and the tortoiseshell ships were in a hurry to avoid it, they had no way to deal with the enemy's artillery fire, and the core of the entire naval army was currently five tortoiseshell ships, and there could be no mistakes.

There is no way to do it, after unloading the burning planks with a knife and axe, the opponent's clamping boat has already approached, and now the only way is to fight with a white knuckle.

Although there is a heart to serve the country, but the combat effectiveness of the Korean sailors in the white-knuckle battle is really not worth saying anything, open the ship's board, first swept by the earth cannons of the Shen Wei fleet, and then the samurai of the Wa Kingdom rushed over with their swords, and when the samurai of the Wa State rushed on the boat, the battle was actually over.

The real trouble was actually those nimble arsonists, as well as the gunboats of the Shen Vao's army, and the Korean sailors gave the order to retreat on the flagship after a dozen ships were damaged, and even one tortoiseshell ship was set on fire.

At this time, it was not so easy to leave, and the North Korean sailors divided ten Banwu ships and stopped them at sea, ready to fight to the death for the rear of the brigade.

After losing five large ships and three small ships, Shen Yuan's fleet sank and burned all ten Banwu ships, but they didn't want to expend too much of their strength on such a desperate enemy, so they didn't continue the pursuit.

However, after this battle, the Korean sailors no longer dared to operate on the sea around the Japanese occupied area, which was completely controlled by Shen Yuan's fleet.

Because of the safety of the sea route, the new daimyo of the Wa Kingdom made a fortune in vain, and the delivery of grain and grass supplies from the Wa mainland to Korea was not a day job, but had such and such benefits. ………………

At the beginning of May of the 21st year of Wanli, Yi Sunsin, the commander of the Korean naval division, led a team to join the Damyung naval division at Wonsan Port and continued south to Incheon, preparing to block the sea traffic in Gyeonggi Province.

In their eyes, it is really incredible that the sailors of the Celestial Empire are so poor and weak, Li Sunsin once said to his nephew that the heavenly soldiers on land are invincible, but the sea still depends on our Korean men, even if the Celestial Navy's sailors come to support, the sailors may not be able to compare to Shen Yuan's fleet.

However, after seeing it, Li Sunsin found that his opinion was the old Huang Li, the total number of ships in the Ming army's fleet was more than 200, but the quality of the ships was quite amazing, it seemed that the age of the ships was not more than ten years, there were firearms in front of them, and what really made Li Sunsin's eyelids jump was a few big ships.

Such a ship is the style of a Western ship, but the size is amazing, because the tortoiseshell ship and the itachiya ship are offshore warships, so they are very large, but the big ship of the Ming army is much larger than the tortoiseshell ship, the huge hull, the huge sails, and the guns on both sides of the hull are even more terrifying.

In addition to such gunboats, there are some ships that are slightly smaller, but the same regulations, such a "...... "Calculated that there would be more than 20 artillery pieces.

After leaving the port of Pyongan Road, Yi Sunsin was very silent, and only said one sentence to his nephew: "The Celestial Empire has such a sailor, I am afraid it is not the blessing of Korea!" ”！ ~！
