Chapter 121                                                             

Deng Quan is another son of Deng Cheng, and is following Deng Cheng at this moment.

A scene from many years ago flashed in front of Yu Dayou's eyes. He had a hundred hereditary family, his family was poor, and when he was young, there were not many people under his command, only Deng Cheng followed him at that time. In Guangxi, facing the Guangxi chieftain collusion with Annan, Yu Dayou ordered dozens of people, captured the thief and captured the king first, and broke into the Guangxi chieftain's camp. During the battle, he hung his head and showed it to the public. All the rest were peaceful. Among the dozens of people who broke into the camp of Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng was there.

Later, Yu Dayou suppressed the bandits and knew that these bandits were innocent and pitiful people. They had the idea of ​​surrendering, but they could not trust each other. Yu Dayou went to the meeting alone, and only brought three or five companions to the mountain village to talk to these bandit leaders. Surrounded by thousands of bandits, Yu Dayou talked freely, causing the thousands of bandits to surrender together. But behind him, Deng Cheng was the one who never left the knife handle.

Later, Deng Cheng was dismissed from office because of his involvement, and Deng Cheng was imprisoned with Yu Dayou.

For many years, Yu Dayou has been accustomed to the existence of Dengcheng. There are many things that need no need to be said. Just like today, seeing that Yu Dayou is in danger, Dengcheng naturally highlights the attention of Japanese pirates.

Yu Dayou thought that this was a small cooperation in the face of wars over the years. Because of this cooperation, Yu Dayou fought Deng Cheng countless times. I never expected that the result would be today.

At this moment, Yu Dayou suddenly felt that his hair was gray.

Yu Dayou closed his eyes slightly, and a drop of old tears shook through the corner of his eyes. Then he opened his eyes, his face full of blood, his sword in his hand, and there was no trace of weakness. He said, "Everyone has been missing for a long time, go east at full speed. Press over to me."

If the impact that just started was still an accident, but now under Yu Dayou's order, it is not an accident.

It can be said that the Ming army's troops took the initiative to request an impact.

The Ming army's ships hit the pirate's ships, as if a city wall was pressing over. The sounds of countless wood cracking came, densely packed like firecrackers.

When two ships collided, generally speaking, even if there was a little problem with the big sand ship, it was not a big problem. Even if it was damaged, it would not affect the combat performance. Of course, it was also difficult to remain silent on wooden ships. Unless they were broken, it was unlikely to sink suddenly.

The impact is actually the beginning of the war between the two sides, because once the impact is caused, whether the ship is damaged or the people above the people are overturned, they lose control of the ship for a while. Therefore, relying on the height of the ship's side, countless firearms on it can pour out to the fullest.

At this time, you will find that at this time, the most convenient way to tilt the firepower is not the cannon or the musket, and the grenades are the thunder in the palm of the hand.

Why it is him? The reason is very simple, that is, the shooting angle problem.

Because muskets are bore guns and cannons are also bore guns, when they fire, they have a slightly upward angle. If flat shooting is not bad, there is a problem with shooting downwards, that is, the gunpowder and projectiles in the cannon can easily slide out.

This is very embarrassing.

Of course, skilled musketeers or gunners will avoid this. There are various methods. But the problem is that before that, the army in Jiangnan actually did not like to use firearms. Even when fighting with Japanese pirates, the Japanese pirates' firearms were obviously more sophisticated.

In history, Qi Jiguang seized the bird gun from the Japanese pirates, and since then he became one of the most equipped muskets in the Ming Dynasty, and was equipped until the Qing Dynasty.

It looks like the Japanese pirates are like an official army, while the official army is like a thief. Those military weapons are hard to describe. Firearms are not good, and cold weapons are not good either.

Zhou Mengchen transferred a large number of firearms from Datong, which changed the impression of these soldiers of firearms. They realized that as long as they did not commit suicide, they could not blow up their own people. Then they started to have a large amount of equipment. Although it was very simple to use firearms, it was difficult to use them very skillfully in just a few months. Some soldiers even got firearms for a few months, only one or two months.

It would be good if they could be used simply. As for more, they wouldn't be able to do it.

When he discovered that the muskets and cannons had such smooth bore phenomenon, they did not think about how to solve it at the first time, but picked up the thunder in the palm of their hands and smashed it down.

They are condescending and not far apart. As long as they are guaranteed to be thrown on the opposite deck, there is no problem, and they can even detonate the gunpowder on the opposite ship.

In an instant, the opposite deck can be cleaned. Then use a rocket to ignite the sails and some other things on the ship, such as gunpowder, etc. Next, you can chase other ships. Because even if this ship has no combat power, it will be no longer available.

After all, although the pirate ships have cabins, most of the combatants were on the deck at the time of war, and a large number of firearms were also on the deck. Once the people on the deck died, their combat effectiveness was equal to nothing.

Moreover, the pirates were determined not to fight to the end and avoided the dead pirates. They would never come to fight again, but instead find ways to escape the battlefield. When the ships were damaged, the sails were burned, and the personnel were short of people, it was difficult for these pirates to control the ships to escape at a faster speed. It would not be too late to clean up the battlefield after the war was over.

Most ships just can't escape, and even if a few lucky people escape, it doesn't matter. After all, they have to take the big head.

Therefore, the Ming army caught most of the Japanese pirates off guard.

However, the group of Japanese pirates who were chasing the most urgently blocked the gun, and the Japanese pirates behind immediately began to prepare for retreat.

However, it is not easy to withdraw at this time.

When Yu Dayou just moved the ship upstream, he did not turn around, although it was to create a slump retreat. After all, boats are different from vehicles, and it is very troublesome to turn around a ship in the river. It has a turn radius. When facing a sudden attack, it is normal to turn around.

Of course, Yu Dayou also made the sake of this moment. The bow of the sailboat is still different from the stern. The bow of the boat is relatively high, which can break the wind and waves and make the ship faster, but the stern is somewhat flat. At this moment, the official army rushed down, and the Japanese pirates' ships also faced the same problem, and they couldn't turn around.

First of all, it was because of the reason just now that it took too much room to turn around. It was too late.

Secondly, the Japanese pirates' fleet was also in chaos. They did not leave space for each other at all. How could they turn around?

At the estuary of the Yangtze River, the rivers and seas are all the same at this moment, so naturally there is space. However, if we don’t cooperate with each other, no matter how large the space is, it is impossible for them to turn around.

The Japanese pirates who couldn't turn around did not turn around. Just like Yu Dayou just now, they turned their sails and wanted to rush out along the water.

And at this moment, we can see where the big ship beats the small ship.

Many people think that a small boat is faster than a large boat. In fact, a small boat is only too fast to react than a large boat and has a smaller turning radius. However, the real speed is not as good as a large boat. The speed of a sailing ship depends on two factors: one is the direction of the water flow, and the other is the sail.

Now they are in the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River flows eastward. Both sides are the same. The sails are different. Most of the pirates are brigged and three-masted ships, while the sand ships are five-masted ships. Under the same wind force, the wind power that sand ships can withstand is much greater than that of the small boat. Just from the sail surface, it is twice as high as that of the small boat.

Although a large ship is heavier than a small ship, it is enough to offset it.

So, when the Japanese pirates retreated to pursue the government army, the large ships of the government army chased after them from behind and knocked off the Japanese pirate ships that were falling behind one by one. The pursuit along the way made the Japanese pirates in a mess.

After chasing for dozens of miles, the two sides were thrown far behind, and even the sandbanks at the estuary of the Yangtze River were fewer than the Yangtze River. At this moment, the Yangtze River had already rushed out. The most obvious feature was that the speed of all ships slowed down. The reason was that the impact force of the Yangtze River flow was slowly resolved by the sea.

It is already in the East China Sea. The Yangtze River water is entering the sea and still maintains a flowing eastward direction. However, the deeper it goes into the sea, the less it becomes, the more unsustainable this flow is.
