Chapter 39 Walkers Without Borders 7 Under the Battle of Autumn Rain on Iki Island
That's what he did!
Two Garen merchant ships met the Golden Eagle from the sideways, while the largest and most powerful Garen warship wandered at the tail of the Golden Eagle.
Ruit's idea was almost exactly the same as Song Guofu.
Destroy the stern rudder of the enemy ship!
Unfortunately, Ruit did not find the tail rudder!
He naturally couldn't find it. When the Han Hai Army's warship was equipped with the steam engine propeller, the original tail rudder must have been transferred to the bow, but the propeller was placed under the water at the stern.
Even so, Ruit's warship had already faced the sideways to the stern of the Golden Eagle!
The Golden Eagle only has four cannons at the stern, that is, two 18-pound cannons on the middle deck and two 12-pound cannons on the upper deck. If you encounter any force in the East Asian ocean, including Zheng Zhilong, the Golden Eagle will be very calm even if you use the head and tail of the ship to deal with the enemy, but it is not the case when you encounter the Garen warship.
As mentioned earlier, Ruit's flagship is a pure warship, with two layers of straight-through deck guns. Twenty cannons are installed on the lower deck, of which ten are 24-pound cannons, and ten are 18-pound cannons on the upper deck!
"boom!!!"
The Garen warship sprayed about half of the shells at one time at a time - it didn't need to shoot all the shells at once to the stern of the ship.
At this time, Sun Jiaji also realized the danger. He was walking towards the north, and Ruit's largest ship was sticking to his stern like a dog skin plaster. Just now, a shell hit the stern gang. Although it did not penetrate the stern gang, it caused the structure of the stern stern to be damaged. If they continued to bombard the entire stern, not only would the entire stern be broken, but under the crazy bombardment, the shells could really be shot into the water to destroy the propeller!
So he ordered the ship to speed up and continue to sail to the north.
The two Galen merchant ships attached from the side of the ship on both sides of the Golden Eagle had lost almost half of their combat power due to the attack of artillery on both sides of the Golden Eagle. Although the shells they shot had broken the middle mast of the Golden Eagle, they also killed about 30% of the sailors on the first deck of the Golden Eagle.
His move really worked. As the two Swifts joined the battle, the Golden Eagle finally formed a single battle against the Flisingen!
At this time, after a little hesitation, Ruit followed up against the northwest wind - his ship was behind the Golden Eagle, that is, at the upper wind position of the Golden Eagle. According to the general situation, under the influence of wind, airflow, and surge caused by the upper wind position, the ship in the lower wind position cannot make good use of the tailwind at this time, and the speed will definitely slow down.
Unfortunately, in a moment, Ruit forgot that this was a ship that had lowered all the sails, and all her power came from underwater - a place that was completely unaffected by various situations on the water.
Therefore, the shells fired by the Flisingen man had a smaller and smaller impact on the stern of the Golden Eagle, and soon the Golden Eagle completed its turn in the pursuit battle.
"boom!!!!"
When fighting with ships like the Flisingen, although the final result must be the Golden Eagle, the power of the Flisingen 24-pound cannon will be unbearable even if the Golden Eagle meets the rough skin and thick flesh.
flexibility!
Sun Jiaji made the same choice as Song Guofu and others. After he commanded the Golden Eagle to complete a big turn of nearly 270 degrees in a short time, the Flisingen man still followed behind the Golden Eagle!
The Golden Eagle came to the back of the Flisingen man!
"boom!!!"
The twelve kilograms of cannons on the upper level sprayed a combination of shotguns and chain shells. The 18 kilograms of cannons on the middle level and the 24 kilograms of cannons on the lower level are all live ammunitions. The five 24 kilograms of cannons on the lower level are all sprayed out, while the cannons on the upper level are fired halfway!
After a shocking sound broke out on the sea, even an old sailor like Ruit who had served on the ship at the age of ten and was used to the roar of artillery was suddenly shocked.
"Bang!!!"
"Click!!!"
"ah!!!"
The brief calm ended, and a large number of different voices were uploaded from the Flisingen person.
"Bang" is the sound of the shells on the Golden Eagle hitting the ships and ships on its own side, and "Crack" is the sound of the chain shells fired from the upper deck artillery of the Golden Eagle cut off the mast of the Flisingen. The sounds of "ah" are naturally the heart-wrenching sound of the sailors on the Flisingen being knocked down by live ammunition, shotguns, chain bombs, and poured masts!
That's not all. It seems that God is particularly favoring Han Haijun. It was already drizzling on the sea, but the rain suddenly stopped at this time.
"Thermal bomb!"
Sun Jiaji stood under the broken central mast and issued an order to the second deputy who was responsible for conveying the message beside him that he later thought was extremely wise.
"boom!!!"
At this time, 30% of the 24-pound or 18-pound shells were shot out of the shells, and the upper decks were shot out of the combination of shotguns and chain shells!
The results of this round of battle were extremely amazing. Two hot bullets roared into the stern of the Flisingen. They not only destroyed the tail rudder along the way, but also kept drilling forward!
"boom!!!"
Soon, a shocking explosion came from the stern of the Flisingen. With the explosion sounding, the tail of the Flisingen quickly became a huge fireball!
At the same time, the chain bullets fired from the upper deck cannon of the Golden Eagle just now cut off the remaining mast of the Flisingen.
At this time, the Flisingen man lost his mast and his tail rudder, and a fire broke out on his butt. Under the northwest wind, the entire hull continued to tilt to the southeast.
"boom!!!"
There was another earth-shaking explosion, which should be the gunpowder near the central artillery of the Flisingen people being ignited.
Looking at the Flisingen man who was completely trapped in the sea of fire, Sun Jiaji, who had hit the opponent just now, his right ear was also cut in half by the wood chips shot by the rammed wood, had completely relaxed.
He pulled out the wood chips that cut through his entire ear and embedded in his cheek. At this time, the situation of the battle calmed down. He finally grinned - it hurts.
When the two Swifts appeared near the big fireball, Sun Jiaji knew that the war on Yang Chengen's side in the south was almost over, or at least completely under the control of the Han Hai Army.
It was similar to what he thought. When Masaki Honda brought more than 30 different-sized ships to force the four Peregrine Falcons commanded by Yang Chengen, Yang Chengen had no intention of using his ship to run away.
The Peregrine Falcon, the live ammunition of the two-deck artillery, and the shotgun roared from time to time. With the structure of the shutdown ship as thin as a cicada wing, let alone live ammunition, even the shotgun may penetrate it.
As a result, the closest ships to the Peregrine Falcon lost their combat effectiveness at the beginning. Some of them quickly sink, overturn, or run around on the sea, blocking all the ships behind them, allowing the Peregrine Falcon's artillery to roar from time to time. Finally, when Yang Chengen saw that the time was almost done, he used the ship to cut the messy ships and rushed towards the outermost ships.
Some samurai rushed to the deck of the Peregrine Falcon with samurai swords. Unfortunately, they were just a mantis armed and were knocked down to the ground by the muskets in the hands of the Marines who were waiting for battle. The numerous Marines were lying on the cabin at the beginning and end of the Peregrine Falcon, and the many Marines holding muskets were worried that they would not have the chance to perform.
Finally, when the Peregrine Falcon was like breaking a road on a lake covered with water and grass, Honda Masaki's more than 30 shutdown ships were either annihilated or ran away - but they couldn't escape, and the two extremely fast Swifts were already on the northern coast of Kyushu.
Tadashi Tadashi Tadashi and Inaba Masato's reconnaissance ship did not participate in the battle, but was lucky enough to escape the disaster.
Ruit was rescued by Han Haijun, but his thigh was concentrated by shotgun. Although he was lucky enough to die, whether he could pass this level depends on God's expression.
After defeating Masaki Honda and Ruit, Sun Jiaji's fleet continued to head south and sailed to Matsuura opposite Hirado Island, where there was also a large port.
Under the fierce attack of the carrier-based artillery, about a thousand warriors on the dock retreated. At this time, the two Albatrosses that had disappeared for a long time suddenly appeared. These two large ships were loaded with all the Marines of the Fifth Fleet!
The Marines landed, occupied a shore facility, and established a position based on the facility. After using Fran cannons, flintlock guns, thunder guns, and thunderbolts, welcoming a large number of ships on the nearby sea before dark!
This batch of ships was naturally not from the Hanhai Army, but Kong Youde ships notified by Sun Jiaji early in the morning. There were a total of 100 turtle ships and boardhouse ships, carrying 10,000 red flags and Han army flags, including 1,000 cavalry.
After assisting Kong Youde in repelling the counterattack of the samurai stationed in Matsuura, Sun Jiaji withdrew, and then it was all up to Kong Youde himself.
After this battle, Japan had no established warships, and there was no threat to Kong Youde. As for whether Kong Youde's troops could block the attack of the 50,000 elite samurai of Tokugawa Raifang, it was not something Sun Jiaji had to worry about.
What's more, at this time, in Busan, the two thousand Zhengbai Banner cavalry of Ying'erdai were also sailing towards Matsuura.
With the power of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, if you use it well against the Japanese samurai with few warhors, you still have a great advantage.
Seoul.
After learning that Kong Youde had gained a foothold in Japan, Haoge led the army to leave. He brought the Zhenglan Banner, the Zhenghong Banner, and the Zhenghong Banner with 20,000 elite troops, and the Eight Banners of Korea, and his goals were also clear.
Busan!
After arriving in Busan, Enso's army was following behind slowly. At this time, Haoge not only lost Seoul, but also Gangwon Do, Chungcheong Do, Jeolla Do, and only Gyeongsang Do (Pusan Busan) was left!
At this time, Fan Wencheng, who was originally a great wall, was gone.
Haoge, generals under Zhenglan Banner Daldai, Yibai, Daishan, Mandahai, Wakda, all of them were like this, Duojili, Jinli of Han Military Banner, and Ma Guozhu of Haoge all gathered in Haoge's palace.
"Emperor", Ma Guozhu cried, "This guy probably ran away."
Dai Shan, who was 63 years old this year, had his gray hair when he was in Liaodong, and he was closing his eyes at this time. He seemed to understand a little.
"Is this guy Fan Wencheng, isn't it a detailed work that Nikan, a barbarian thief, arranged by us? He first proposed the plan to go south to North Korea, and said that the emperor agreed. After we went south, we would have no way out. In fact, if we retreated to Changbai Mountain at that time, there might not be a chance to make a comeback."
"It's still this guy who instigated the emperor to flee south all the way. In fact, if he had a real battle with Enso near Seoul, there would be no chance."
"However, if you lose in Seoul, you will be truly doomed."
Chapter completed!
