Huashan Jiugao was still standing upright on the bow of the ship before the cannon was fired, but as soon as the cannon was fired, he was thrown to the ground, and he made absolutely no movement to struggle, and he did not look like a samurai at all!
Just when he fell to the ground, the crackle of lead bullets embedded in the wooden planks and the screams of the soldiers sounded almost simultaneously! Huashan Jiugao, who was lying on the ground, turned his head hard and looked, and saw more than 20 soldiers on the open deck.
More than half of them fell down. Half of them were motionless and should be dead. The rest were still squirming and struggling in a pool of blood!
Then he heard the sound of cannons not far away, and then he felt the hull of the ship shaking! He knew that this was the opponent's ship bombarding the ship tower at his feet. And he was lying on the ground and could clearly hear the body of the ship.
The faint screams and cries of the soldiers in the shipbuilding below!
Hearing this series of screams, Huashan Jiugao was heartbroken! Because this time he brought all elite soldiers and generals, especially his own ship, which was loaded with the elite power of the Huashan family!
Such large-scale casualties will severely damage your family's vitality, and may even make you unable to recover!
However, it was raining all night. Just when he heard that the shelling had stopped and wanted to struggle to get up, the person on his back said loudly: "Your Majesty, General, you must not get up now! Ming Ming
The second Chinese warship is approaching!"
However, Huashan Jiugao still felt that lying on the ground was really beneath the dignity of the general, so he struggled to sit up, leaned against the side of the ship and looked out!
He saw a huge warship cutting towards his starboard side on his right! He knew that the right side of his ship that had not been hit was about to be bombarded! Then he also saw a ship cutting towards him not far away.
The third cruiser on the left is approaching.
Fortunately, he was still conscious, and with the help of the samurai, he leaned over to the right side of the ship. If he had stayed on the left side, he would have been most likely to be hit by the shotgun blasts sweeping the deck from the right side! And it was foreseeable that,
After the opponent finished shooting at him, he had to crawl back to the left side to avoid the third round of attacks!
After all this trouble, Kaguyama Kutaka felt that all his dignity as a samurai was gone! And what was worse than losing his dignity as a samurai was that he had already foreseen the failure of this naval battle!
He knew that as long as these three large ships cut back and forth in his fleet a few times, they would cut his own formation into chaos. At the same time, the dense artillery would also cause great damage to the people on the ship! Then they
If you compete with other Ming ships, you will be at a disadvantage!
And it doesn't matter that he failed, but he ruined all the elite members of the Shimadzu family's navy. This was an unforgivable mistake, and he could only compensate for it by committing seppuku!
Just as he was thinking wildly, the second cruiser had already approached and started bombarding his ship! It was still the same sequence, first clearing the open deck with shotgun shells, and then continuing to attack the others!
The soldiers still alive on the open deck had already obediently hid behind the side of the ship, so this round of shotguns did not cause any damage, but only killed all the dying soldiers on the deck!
But the situation in the ship building was different! After Liu Haojia's flagship left, the soldiers who came out were busy rescuing the wounded. Some of those brave soldiers were trying to find the enemy to fight back, so when the second cruiser cut from the other side,
When they came over, most of the soldiers who came out had no idea that death was approaching!
Only when the shells hit the hull of the ship and then penetrated the wooden planks into the crowd did they know that another ship was approaching!彡彡訁凊
This round of shelling caused great damage to the soldiers in the shipbuilding, causing the soldiers to fall into complete chaos! The samurai who came out to command was already struggling to death because his right arm was blown away by the shell during the first round of shelling.
, unable to issue any orders, could only watch the soldiers being beaten into pieces by artillery shells in the chaos!
Then the third round of bombardment came as scheduled, once again scanning Huashan Jiu's ship from beginning to end! Now the inside of the ship building can be described as a bloody slaughterhouse!
Because there were few artillery in Japan, someone who could use a bowl-mouth blunderbuss would be considered powerful and wealthy. Therefore, the Anzhai ship equipped with wooden planks was considered to be thickly armored and difficult to break in Japan, but it could not stop the attack of close-range artillery at all! So just
The attacks by the three cruisers severely damaged three of the Shimadzu family's main anchor ships and slightly damaged two of them!
Although there are still several Anzha ships on the sea undamaged, the blow to their morale is indeed unparalleled! In the minds of samurai, the Anzha ships, which are like fortresses, are beaten all over the body like toys by the opponent.
There is no way to fight back, no matter how you look at it, there is no hope of winning this battle!
At this time, Huashan Jiugao had already stood up from the deck. He shouted loudly to the people who were still alive around him: "Hurry up and order the people behind to entangle those three ships! The other side only has three such large ships. As long as you entangle them,
No matter how many times the other enemies are!"
After hearing his order, the frightened soldiers calmed down a lot and immediately passed the order on through drums and trumpets. Moreover, this order was the same as the task that had been assigned in advance, so no one contradicted it.
At this time, Liu Haojia's flagship had already rushed far away and was about to pass through the opponent's battle line. At this time, seven or eight Guan ships and an equal number of small morning ships had already rushed forward!
Although this new type of warship has an absolute advantage against Anzha ships, it is not that effective against the fast-moving Kanfune and Kozabune ships, because their speed is really very fast! In addition, the smoothbore cannons are now available
That impressive hit rate really didn't cause much damage! However, two consecutive rounds of shooting from the cruiser drove away the oncoming ships.
At this time, the squadron behind him had formed a column, followed their track and rushed in, cutting the Shimazu fleet in half in one fell swoop! The fleet rolled over to the left at the same time, intending to compress the Japanese's maneuvering space. Evil Japanese
Then they fought back, and the entire battlefield quickly entered a white-hot stage!
Bows, arrows, crossbows, iron cannons, and muskets were constantly shooting at each other between the two sides, and the artillery roared, spitting lead bullets and fire! Smoke began to fill the battlefield!
After the exchange of fire, the Shimazu fleet tried its best to expand to both wings, not giving the Ming fleet a chance to surround them, so the battle lines of both sides quickly formed an overlapping U-shape. Moreover, the tactics of both fleets were very similar, that is, as much as possible
First attack the opponent from a distance, trying to severely damage the opponent before getting close, and then at the end of the fight, it will probably be a head-on battle!
