Seeing that the warships of the Ming Navy were so fierce and even crashed into their own ships without being injured, the soldiers of the Shimazu family were obviously much more cautious and did not dare to approach the cruiser as hard as before.
At this time, the naval ship saw that it was about to encounter a siege, so it immediately accelerated its speed and left. Under the cover of the other two cruisers, it merged together and used its own ship speed to sail away!
However, they were not in a hurry to leave. Just when the Japanese thought they were leaving and breathed a sigh of relief, the leading ship suddenly turned and rushed towards another Anzhai ship!彡彡訁凊
The samurai in charge of the Anzhai ship that was targeted saw that something was not going well, and hurriedly ordered the people below to beat drums to call for reinforcements! However, the speed of these three large ships was too fast, and they were close to the target before other ships came for reinforcements.
Within a hundred steps!
If he were to fight against a Western warship, Liu Haojia would never get so close! However, this time his opponent was a Japanese warship that was significantly smaller in size. Moreover, this kind of warship did not have a keel and the hull was relatively fragile, so his courage was limited.
Getting bigger!
What's more, the Anzhai ship only had a dozen large barrels, which were bowl-mouth blunderbuss. The lead bullets fired fell on the cruiser's deck, which was as useless as scratching an itch. So Liu Haojia simply put on a show of "I"
It's like bullying you, forcing you to get very close and bombarding you!
The Anzha ship may be a giant sea ship for the Japanese country, but it is incomparable to Liu Haojia's new warship! It is far behind in terms of armor and firepower! So although the warriors' counterattack was fierce, Otsutsu and
The iron cannon almost covered the whole body of the cruiser, but it left only a few scratches!
When he got more than 80 steps closer to the Anzhai ship, Liu Haojia immediately ordered to fire, and then the artillery on the side of the ship immediately sprayed out smoke and fire! The dense lead bullets hit the Anzhai ship, making a loud banging sound, and wooden spikes flying!
Although we can't see the effect, judging from the weakened counterattack firepower of the Anzha ship, I'm afraid the casualties are heavy! Then the other two cruisers also entered the battle position one after another to bombard! The three cruisers were like sharks eyeing their prey.
Likewise, they circled the Anzhai ship for most of the time and fired two rounds of artillery fire one after another!
The artillery on the other side fired sporadic artillery fire under the command of the result, driving away the ships and small boats that came to the rescue. The soldiers on the deck also continued to fire shotguns to block the other side, and the ships were never able to get close!
However, Liu Haojia felt that he had to leave at this time, because there were already a considerable number of Guanzhou and Xiaochanchuan gathered around. Once entangled by them, it would probably be the result of the ants biting the elephant to death! So he immediately ordered to rush out to the south!
The captain of the No. 2 cruiser was also a brave man. When he clearly received the order, he still ordered the ship to approach the Anzha ship, withstood the fire of the Anzha ship, and when he passed by, he ordered the sailors to
They threw kerosene bombs at the Anzha ship!
At this moment, the bow of the Anzha ship turned into a sea of fire! The clothes of a dozen Japanese soldiers hiding behind the parapet were ignited, and they screamed loudly when they were burned. They jumped into the sea to survive! At the same time, the cabin was pushed
When the fire was opened, many soldiers came out and started putting out the fire.
At this moment, the No. 3 cruiser approached and fired a round of shotgun shells directly on the deck, knocking almost all the soldiers fighting the fire to the ground! After getting this result, they were not satisfied, and the captain of the cruiser directly ordered all the soldiers to fight the fire.
It is possible that a batch of arson bombs were fired at the open hatch of the ship. As for the effect, it depends on luck!
At this time, Liu Haojia's flagship had already made a way in front and was breaking out of the encirclement to the south. There was a Guan ship ahead with the idea of sacrificing itself and wanted to block the ship across the waterway. However, the Japanese did not expect that such a large ship could be maneuvered.
It was also quite convenient. It completed the emergency turn in a short distance and passed close to the stern of his ship!
The two ships collided, making a huge noise as the wood scraped against each other. The soldiers on the Japanese ship were also quite brave. They actually took this opportunity to throw flying claws in an attempt to trap the cruiser! The cruiser was already prepared.
The soldiers used their big axes to cut off the flying claws, and at the same time they fired fire cannons and threw kerosene bombs from above! As a result, the Guan ship was knocked away with flames!
Liu Haojia's flagship was now like a volcano with flames erupting from both sides. The artillery on both sides took turns firing, constantly driving away the approaching Japanese ships, and finally killed them among them! Then the other two cruisers followed.
The trajectory that followed him rushed out!
At this time, Liu Haojia also had a cold sweat on his head, and he was afraid for a while! He knew that he was a little too greedy for success just now! If his movements were a little slower, the opponent might have a few more ships blocking the route.
There is no chance for me to escape!
Even if his ship has high freeboard and numerous artillery, it will not be able to survive under the siege of many ships! It may even drag the other two cruisers into the encirclement!
Captain Liu Haojia reflected and turned around to look at the battle group, only to see that the battle line behind him had become a mess! The big ships fired firearms and bows and arrows at each other, and the smoke filled the air! When the ships of both sides crossed each other, the Japanese soldiers kept attacking the Ming army.
Flying claws were thrown on the ship, but the Ming army relied on its high freeboard advantage and was unwilling to engage in a boarding battle with them. They cut off the flying claws and used firearms to continuously attack the opponent!
Generally speaking, the Ming Navy has the advantage when it comes to large ships, but because it is a long voyage, there are no small ships in the fleet this time, which gives the small early ships the opportunity to give full play to their own strengths!
These early-morning ships were carrying oars at high speed, and they constantly gathered into small groups to besiege the lone Ming army ships. Already two Ming army ships were each surrounded by seven or eight small boats! These small boats threw flying catches to connect their own ships with the opponent's ships.
together, while the soldiers kept climbing up the rope!
The soldiers on the Ming army's ships fired condescendingly to kill the climbing Japanese, and at the same time cut off their flying claws in an attempt to break away from the encirclement. The battle was extremely fierce!
Just when Liu Haojia thought that these two warships were about to be besieged and captured, two more Ming warships came from the side and violently fired at the small morning boat with artillery! Another warship directly rammed into a small morning boat.
Just flip it over onto the sea! And this scene is just a microcosm of a naval battle!
Although the battle was fierce, Liu Haojia could tell that because he had added a large number of firearms to his own ship, although it seemed that the Shimadzu navy was suppressed by numbers, the actual losses were not great. On the contrary, the Shimadzu navy
