Turbulent Times Chapter 1158: Winning
“I obey the order.” Gan Ziqi quickly accepted the order.
“My lord, Ichiro Yasui’s small boat has boarded the big Japanese ship, but their fleet has not stopped yet.” Yuchi Jingde said at this time, looking at the Japanese fleet with a fierce look.
“Since you’re looking for death, you’re welcome.” Wang Junlin’s eyes flickered coldly, and he looked at the Japanese fleet with a sneer.
The Japanese fleet is getting closer and clearer…
“The Japanese fleet entered the range of giant crossbow guns and trebuchets!”
Gan Ziqi’s pupils narrowed suddenly, he stared fiercely at the fleet in front of him, gritted his teeth, pulled out his knife fiercely, and shouted: “Triangle wing formation, attack!”
“Boom, boom, boom!” The sound of attacking drums broke the silence of the sea, and dozens of trebuchets shot gunpowder packets at the Japanese fleet, but the sea was shaking left and right, and Gan Ziqi’s The operations of the naval officers and soldiers could not be compared with the naval officers and soldiers under Luo Chunlai and Liu Yidong. The accuracy of operating the catapult on the ship was much worse. Only about two-fifths fell on the ship of the Wa Kingdom. Seventeen or eighteen Japanese ships were blown up, and the ship gradually sank amidst the screams of the sailors above.
After the catapult, the giant crossbow gun immediately shot the muskets flying all over the sky at the Japanese fleet, and immediately there were more than a dozen Japanese boats ignited raging fire!
The Japanese did not expect that they would be attacked so fiercely and horribly by the enemy beyond the range they understood. The general of the Wa Kingdom, who finally decided to attack because he laughed at the stupidity of the opponent’s formation, was stunned by the firepower he had never “enjoyed” for a while, and he didn’t remember how to command and respond at all.
Wo’s warships rushed towards Wang Junlin’s side of the navy more bravely, some retreated in a hurry, and some stopped in place, not knowing what to do.
Such a result was expected, and the accuracy of the trebuchet and the giant gun crossbow made Wang Junlin frown slightly, but this time he was calm and silently observing the situation on the battlefield, but Gan Zi Qi’s sailors transformed from pirates saw that the first wave of attack worked
, the morale suddenly rose, and they shouted loudly, and the voice shook the sky.
“Keep in formation, don’t leave the team to attack, use the side of the ship to aim at the protruding enemy ships, and attack them!” Gan Ziqi’s order was accurately conveyed to each ship by the semaphore, and the fifty warships began to concentrate their firepower to attack the rushing ships. The fifteen walking boats that came out, under the attack of such intensive firepower, the fifteen walking boats ignited a raging fire in an instant. The soldiers screamed and jumped out of the boat to escape, and any Japanese sailors who approached were mercilessly shot and killed in the water by the crossbowmen.
The sacrifice of these fifteen ships was not meaningless. The leader of the Wa Kingdom finally came to his senses. Apart from hitting the seriously injured ships in the first wave, the rest had to regroup and divide into two teams. Attacking the two wings on Wang Junlin’s side, another fifteen fighting ships bypassed from the farther two wings, as if they wanted to attack from the flank.
I have to say that the Navy of the Japanese Kingdom is worthy of fighting at sea for many years. Although they were surprised by Wang Junlin’s long-range attack capabilities, especially the gunpowder packs that can explode, they were not intimidated. I just want to avoid the sea area with the densest firepower in the middle. The oarsmen paddled desperately towards Wang Junlin. Because they found that on Wang Junlin’s side, only fifty ships were warships, and the other ships carried goods and personnel.
“Do you think you still have a numerical advantage? My fleet is much stronger than yours!” Gan Ziqi sneered in his heart, and issued an order calmly: “One team becomes two teams, and the column remains the same. Attack the enemy separately. Pay attention to the movement of the enemy battleship!”
“I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to divide the troops!” Wang Junlin frowned slightly, thinking to himself, but didn’t say anything.
Moreover, the fifty warships under Gan Ziqi’s command changed from one team to two teams, but there were serious problems.
They were originally pirates, and they were all sailors proficient in water warfare. Gan Ziqi’s talent, especially his ability to master water warfare, was unquestionable. Already an amazing achievement.
However, the time they spent manipulating these large ships was still too short, especially since this was the first time they had fought against an enemy of the same size, the soldiers were also a little nervous, so the fleet was turning to divide
In the process of two teams gaining the upper hand, four or five ships made the lowest paper mistake, and they turned in the wrong direction! Two other boats also had a minor collision.
Wang Junlin’s side was the first casualty, and his own accidental injury occurred. A soldier happened to hit the corner of the ship and was killed on the spot.
Taking advantage of the chaos in Gan Ziqi’s navy, the Japanese soldiers rushed up frantically, and the sharp horns of the ship slammed into the hulls of several naval ships, causing the ships to split open immediately. , The sea water poured in! If it wasn’t for the fact that all the warships produced by Wang Junlin at the Fanyang County Shipyard were designed with watertight compartments, they would have sunk long ago.
However, the Japanese navy’s attack was more than that. They threw small wooden barrels filled with kerosene onto the Song ships and fired rockets, and immediately two ships were on fire.
But these warships from the Japanese kingdom were not spared either. The captain of Gan Ziqi’s command, who was hit by this, pulled out his scimitar, and a few crow’s mouth boards hooked the warships from the Japanese kingdom tightly, and Gan Ziqi’s command went into the water. The masters swarmed up, fiercely slashing and killing every enemy they could see.
The fate of the rest of the walkers is even more bleak!
As soon as several warships approached Gan Ziqi’s side, the giant crossbow gun directly shot through the cabin, sea water entered the cabin, and the boat sank in the sea. After escaping the deadly attack of the crossbow and gun, the Japanese soldiers gathered together and lined up to wait for the next hand-to-hand combat. But the first thing they were given was the continuous rain of arrows from the crossbow. The Japanese soldiers had never seen it before. Such dense arrows, amidst howling ghosts and howling wolves, caused heavy casualties. Before he recovered his senses, the soldiers of Gan Ziqi’s navy had rushed onto the boats. All Japanese soldiers with weapons would inevitably become ghosts under the knife.
The chief general of the Japanese kingdom watched his warships being burned, shot down, and captured. He couldn’t believe it. Subdued all the pirates, and even dominated this sea area.
Yasui Ichiro, who volunteered to be an envoy, originally thought he was going to die, but standing on the ship of the captain of the Japanese navy, he had a very good look and was quite witty on the spot. He rolled his eyes and said with a sneer: “General, are you still waiting for me?” There is a way, order surrender now.”
