Chapter Twenty-Five
Chapter 25: Clearing out the ugly
Deng Zhong's new ships and guns are easy to use. Although there are many ships on the other side, they look old and dilapidated. Some ships even clearly see the colors differently, and they are repaired at first glance. Moreover, the repaired wood is not good at no matter how you look at it.
Only then did Deng Zhong gain confidence.
But the people around Deng Zhong couldn't stand it, and the young master's actions were advised one after another.
Deng Zhong had a right idea. He said, "Okay, needless to say. Now there is a result. We won't look for him. They come to me. Is there anyone who retreated without fighting?"
If the ships here wanted to rob Deng Zhong's ship just now, but now it was different. Deng Zhong's obvious signal was transmitted, and the Japanese pirates were not fools. How could they not be seen?
They don’t know who this signal is transmitted to, but since the other party is transmitting a signal, what they instinctively need to do is to destroy the signal.
So several boats came from all directions.
Deng Zhong was not afraid of danger and ordered to turn the rudder, but instead of escaping. Instead, he avoided the opponent's pursuit and tried to fight with the opponent's ship one-on-one.
Soon Deng Zhong and the Japanese pirates approached quickly, but saw a group of people standing on the Japanese pirates' ship, holding Japanese swords, and all of them were ready to jump over.
Deng Zhong sneered and ordered the gun door to be closed. All guns were equipped with the maximum amount of shotgun.
So when the two ships handed over, only a few meters, the Japanese pirates jumped up and wanted to jump onto Deng Zhong's ship. At this moment, the gun door on the side of the ship opened in an instant, revealing dark muzzles.
Then, orange-red flames burst out from the muzzle, and countless stars and lights burst out, just like a meteor shower burst out instantly. In an instant, they turned into blood-colored red lines, passing through the Japanese pirates, and even pierced through the bodies of several people. Even if there were obstacles such as long sword hardwood, they exerted their strength. The long sword suddenly bent and even interrupted. As for the thick solid wood, although it was not penetrated, the broken wood thorn may not be more powerful than the shotgun.
It sounds like hundreds of words, but it is actually just a snap of your fingers.
In an instant, the Japanese pirates were washed by bullets.
The old wooden deck was instantly washed by red, and countless living and dead people burst out their blood into a new paint for the ship. It can be said that just one round of shotguns, this ship has no combat power.
Although he bombarded with live ammunition several times, although he did not sink, the opponent's speed significantly reduced.
Then Deng Zhong heard a roar. A shell hit the ship's side and made a "defying" sound. When Deng Zhong saw that a iron plate was knocked down. But this attack did not cause any damage to Deng Zhong.
The Japanese pirates were just a few artillery pieces, not without artillery pieces.
Deng Zhong calmed down and fought while retreating, entangled with the Japanese pirates.
But he didn't know that the sound of cannons here was the best urge to urge the surrounding officials and soldiers. Soon a ship rushed over. Although he did not meet with Deng Zhong, the Japanese pirates launched an attack without hesitation.
The third, the fourth ---, etc.
In order not to miss the Japanese pirates' fleet, Yu Dayou sent a total of 70 or 80 ships. He even seconded a batch of small gunboats from Zhejiang. In this area, the number of ships in the Ming Dynasty was actually not large, but they were just a little scattered. As these ships arrived one after another.
The Japanese pirates already felt something was wrong.
How did the Japanese pirates feel? But Yu Dayou is facing a great enemy at this moment, and he is facing Dabin.
In his opinion, this is the biggest exam since he presided over the Donghai Navy. He must not fail the exam. He is not only sorry for Lord Zhou’s trust, but also for the people of Jiangnan.
After receiving the news, he had only had time to report to Zhou Mengchen, and he brought the absolute main force of the East China Sea Navy, forty ships No. 1 and sixty ships No. 2, a fleet of thousands of artillery. If the main force fights the decisive battle, the main force of the Spanish may not be able to fight.
But when Yu Dayou came to the battlefield, he didn't know how to control his expression for a moment.
Because, as Yu Dayou, who has rich military experience, just glance at him, you will know that the battle is almost over. Yes, after Deng Zhong opened fire, dozens of ships entered the battle group one after another.
The other ships were either so far away that they didn't see the beacon at all, or they could see the beacon, and they were desperately rushing here at this moment.
If we say that in the Wang Zhi era, the Ming naval combat ability was far inferior to that of Wang Zhi. But today, there is probably no opponent of the East China Sea Navy in the entire East Asia. It was obvious that it was obvious in today's battle.
When the government army had more than twenty ships, some of the Japanese pirates could not bear it.
But for Japanese pirates, they have to eat even if they can't bear it. The reason is very simple. In this season, from Japan to Zhoushan is a good wind, and from Zhoushan to Japan is a good wind. In a state of headwind, it is impossible to have the speed of going downwind.
In other words, the current situation of their ships is that there are so many people on the ship. It is impossible for them to support them to return to Japan.
Although the ship was on the sea for less than ten days, there were many Japanese pirates and they had almost eaten all the food and other food. The supply was not enough for them to return to Japan, and the most shortage was not food, but water.
Although there is water on the sea, the sea water cannot be drunk. Fresh water is a very precious resource. Only when they can replenish fresh water at least once can they return to Japan.
So they decided to grit their teeth and insist that they must win the battle.
However, after more than thirty ships on the battlefield, although they still fought in a melee, the Japanese pirates could no longer hold on. Sometimes there were too many ships, and they might not be able to win a battle.
Persistence may not be of use. We have the strength here.
When the official army's ships arrived fifty, the Japanese pirates could not hold on any longer. They could only run, and they ran in chaos, with no purpose at all, just hoping to escape from the battlefield and be alive.
When Yu Dayou came to the battlefield, he saw this scene.
The large fleet he worked hard to build was the absolute main force of his East China Sea Navy, and his strategic force was determined. But he was defeated with one blow.
There was also a hint of bitterness in Yu Dayou's heart, but although this situation was not as good as Yu Dayou expected, he won at least. As the general officer of the East China Sea Navy, no matter who wins, he won. He could quickly adjust his mentality.
However, many people in Yu Dayou's main fleet may not be able to adjust their mentality so quickly.
Because after the establishment of the East China Sea Navy, these fleets were the absolute main force. Whether they were selecting officers or soldiers, they were the first choice. When replenishing supplies, they also had the right to give priority to replenish supplies.
As for other ships, they were just trying to help them.
But what is going on now? It's completely reversed. The officer led by Yin Feng couldn't even collapse. He obviously won the battle, but it seemed that he had lost the battle.
Yu Dayou also noticed their emotions and said, "Okay, no matter what, they will win. Go and block these ships immediately. This battle will be wiped out, and the evil pirate ran away, but we have been guilty of waiting."
"Yes." The people around them agreed.
Then the entire fleet of large ships scattered and chased the running ships one by one. Some simply sank. These small boats and cannons, in terms of fire density or the power of a single cannon, were not as good as those of large ships.
Therefore, it is difficult for any small boat to sink the Japanese pirates alone. Even if they can sink, they must shoot for a long time.
But the big ship is different. The fifty cannons are concentrated, and the old pirates are easily sunk within a few rounds. What's more, the main fleet has not received any contribution in this battle, and it is full of fire, so the fire will naturally be fired at these fleeing Japanese pirates.
So this scene happened. When the sun was about to set, the battle finally cleaned up the battlefield and the vast fleet returned to the port.
