Hit?

As soon as 4321 asked, a standard-bearer passed on the results of the wait-and-see.

Eight batteries on the side, none of which hit the target.

However, the eight solid iron bullets were all concentrated in the same area, causing the surrounding waves to surge violently, at least playing a riotous role.

"The first shot is a test range, and the second shot must be really powerful!"

Four-three-two-one was not entangled by the 'empty', and Mali instructed the soldiers next to him to push back the barrel and start the second reload.

"Go ahead!"

Holding a torch to ignite the fuse, 4321 silently recited in his heart, and heard the roar of cannon in his ears.

"Whoosh~"

The shells crossed a distance of several kilometers and landed again from the Japanese warship.

At the same time, the flag-bearer in the high place suddenly waved the red order flag in his hand.

The flag language is very simple, it only expresses two words.

Hit!

Hit!

"Two shells hit the warship, one hit the hold, and the other hit the deck with good luck."

"We hit two enemy ships!"

The sailors who understood the language of the flag immediately cheered, and Four-Three-Two-One jumped to his feet with the same joy when he heard it. Even if he doesn't know whether these two shells have their own credit.

"Go on, keep loading!"

"Let's take heavy artillery today and kill these widows."

With 4321 waving his hand vigorously, the third round of shelling soon began.

This time, the distance between the two sides has been shortened to within a kilometer, and there is no need to wait and see from a high place, 4321 can see at least five or six cannonballs, and they have firmly hit the Japanese warship.

Among them, he was responsible for the one that ignited the launch.

"Turn the rudder."

"The right flank battery suspends shelling, and the left flank battery hand prepares!"

The one who opened his mouth to give the order was Chen Silkworm, the general of the Da Mingwei Sea Division, who, like his current boss Chen Lan, was also an experienced veteran.

Although the barrel of the redcoat cannon is larger and thicker, whether it is the residue of gunpowder in the barrel or the high temperature when firing, it will have a certain impact on the heavy artillery.

Switching hulls after two or three shots is undoubtedly a suitable choice.

At the same time, the old warships surrounding the two capital warships were also dispatched. Although these ships were not equipped with red-coat cannons, the Franco cannons on board were still able to suppress the Japanese at closer range.

"Damn it!"

"Daming's artillery is too powerful."

On the Japanese command ship 'Yongye', Kato Yoshiaki had already been drenched with seawater, and his warship was not spared by the round of shelling just now, not only was it almost overturned by the waves, but the stern battle platform was directly smashed into a big hole.

"We must get close to the Ming warships, and we can't let them fire at us unscrupulously."

"Rush up, give me full speed to rush up, all the iron gunners pay attention to concealment, and fire immediately after approaching the Ming warship."

Faced with the crushing of science and technology, Kato Yoshiaki could only use his roar to arouse the blood of his soldiers. But most of the time, hot blood does not solve the problem, but rather impulsively sends it to death.

"Boom Boom Boom"

As the distance between the two fleets narrowed again, remaining between one and two miles, the Ming warships were almost at full fire.

The naval cost of this battle is mostly from the Son of Heaven.

4321 also handed over 3,000 gold to Chen Lan in the name of Admiral Mo Xiaobai.

Adding up to the total of zero and zero, Chen Ling set out with 800,000 silver in his hand.

Old man Chen is a little greedy, but at least he is not to the point of madness, and he can't do the strange thing of mixing gunpowder with sand, and even because he knows how to be greedy, he doesn't do half of his hands and feet on war preparedness and military supplies.

Solid iron cannons, gunpowder processed in strict accordance with the proportions, and a part of the reliable leads purchased from the Franco.

The money was spent, but the effect was also very obvious.

When hundreds of cannonballs fell into the Japanese fleet like dumplings, all the Ming soldiers could hear the clear sound of cannonballs smashing the ship.

More than twenty warships sank a third in less than half an hour. As for the remaining warships, they are still under the command of Kato Yoshiaki to attack the Daming Naval Division.

"You must be able to rush in, and you can start a melee if you rush in."

"At that time, the Ming warships will not dare to fire their cannons at will, and the blade battle will definitely be able to win the battle."

Kato's face was hideous, holding on to the railing and staring ahead, he couldn't wait to fly to the Ming warship now and kill those Ming people who could only fire cannons.

It's just that Kato Yoshiaki doesn't know that the opponent he met is an old and strong general.

Chen Lan doesn't have much strategy for battle, but he knows how to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

The advantage of the Ming warship is the artillery, and if you want the artillery to give full play to its advantages, you must move to fight. Like a kite flying master, he will always hold a long line, but he will not easily let the kite fall close to him.

Each warship is under Chen Lan's control.

Many naval generals, including Chen Silkworm and Ji Jin, also strictly implemented the general orders of the acting general soldiers.

Wandering and shuttling, he always maintained a distance of more than 500 meters from the Japanese warships.

In just 500 meters, it may not take a minute to run a horse on flat ground. But in the eyes of Kato Yoshiaki, this distance is like a moat.

You can see it, but you can never touch it.

"General, three more warships sank because of a water leak."

With a look of despair, the standard-bearer told a message, and after a pause of half a second, added: "We, if we don't retreat, we will sink." ”

"Can't be withdrawn."

Kato Yoshiaki opened his mouth hoarsely, his eyes were full of red bloodshots: "Qimu-san, are you afraid of death?" ”

"General Hui, Qimuxi is never afraid of death!"

"Well said!"

Kato Yoshiaki took a deep breath, and then gritted his teeth: "Pass my order, put down the ten small boats in the middle cabin, and we will change to small boats and continue to kill!" ”

"Hey!"

The standard-bearer, Qimuxi, was shocked, but quickly nodded reflexively.

The big ships were too easy to hit, and perhaps only the small ones could rush towards the Ming army. But if you change to a small boat, it means fighting to the death.

The chance of survival is almost zero.

As the standard-bearer passed the order, the boat was quickly thrown into the sea, and a group of Japanese soldiers, including Kato, abandoned the ship.

"Wakisaka-kun, I'll try my best to help you drag down the Daming Water Master, you must escape."

"The caravan of the Francois hasn't been to the port of Kobe for a month, and the supplies we transported are all inventory from the previous trade."

"There's no room for loss on board."

Finally glancing back in the direction of Busan, Kato Yoshiaki pulled out his saber and roared:

"Charge!"

The remaining dozens of small boats, carrying three or five hundred Japanese soldiers, rushed towards the Ming fleet frantically.

"What a bunch of crazy people!"

Hundreds of meters away, 4321 saw the scene, which was actually more like a group of ants rushing towards the elephant.

"Come, wake me up with your death."

"In the plane, falling behind others will end like this!"
