Chapter 847: Rolling
The gunboat ship had its own gunboats exposed, and the cannon rain immediately vented and hit the Japanese ship parked outside the port.
The Japanese at the port tried to fight back, and some people rushed to board the big ship in a small boat, but it was too late. The surface of the solid artillery was covered with tinder oil. Once it flew out, not only did holes explode on the Japanese ship, but burning shells rolled into the hull and immediately began to burn.
A Japanese ship began to burn, then crackled and rolled in thick smoke, and the mast fell, causing another Japanese ship to burn. The smoke rolled on the entire sea and rushed straight into the sky.
The Japanese who were originally going to board the ship returned to the shore in small boats, and had to watch the ships filled with smoke. Everyone was stunned.
Of course they never thought that things would be so bad. At this time, the Lang San army would attack. At least the Ming tiger was not very clear? The Lang San army would never have the possibility of raiding Chongming! The imperial court had patrols outside the seas of Quanzhou, Ningbo and other places. Once the enemy was discovered, it would send a warning message at night. But... where was the warning message?
Of course, it is not the time to care about this now. The ship is the lifeblood of the Japanese. However, when standing at the port, everyone has no choice but to have a Japanese warship, and there is a Japanese warship on it, so they rushed out and were immediately blocked outside the port by Lang Shan's gunboats.
More and more ships caught fire, and the cannon rain was still venting.
The Japanese army on the shore began to be in chaos, and Junichi Shimazu finally arrived. When he saw the scene in front of him, his whole body was cold and he almost fell into the sea.
"Kill! Kill!" He shouted in vain, but the rumbling cannon had already drowned his voice. Just as an out-of-control cannon landed on the dock, the entire trestle made wood chips fly. Then he fell heavily into the water, splashing dozens of feet of water.
The water splashed on Junichi Shimazu. The guard behind him hurriedly pulled him back. Junichi Shimazu was almost suffocated, his blood-covered eyes were just staring at the outer sea, and he seemed crazy: "The fate of the imperial country is here, this is here, call Watanabe to come, find a way to notify the Songe friendly army..."
"Come on, burn the wolf smoke!"
In fact, there is no need to burn the wolf smoke, the Japanese ships outside the port are burning. The thick smoke produced is enough to be seen by the mainland dozens of miles away.
After several hours, Japanese ships were destroyed. Countless ships caught fire and burned, and then turned into ashes, with wreckage all over the port.
The Japanese army on the shore also began to prepare for strict defense and wait for Lang San's army to attack.
Unfortunately, after attacking the Japanese ships, the gunships immediately got off the anchor, with their sails collected, and parked outside the port, and there was no response.

On the waves ten miles away, Hao Fenglou's main ship was a huge treasure ship. At this time, Hao Fenglou was anxiously waiting for news here.
This attack on the Japanese ships is related to success or failure. If there is any slight mistake, or if the Japanese are a little alert, even though they are fully confident of defeating the Japanese fleet with the strength of the Lang Son fleet, once the damage is too large, it will be a little trouble for their future strategic goals.
Fortunately, not long after, thick smoke came out of the sky in the distance. At this time, countless people cheered on the ships anchored here. Most of the ships staying here were huge in size, suitable for transporting troops and grain, but did not have too high maneuverability. Therefore, they were waiting for the results of the gunboat. Now everyone appeared on the deck. When the rumbling sound of cannons in the distance, they knew that the battle began. When the smoke covered half of the sky, many people had a premonition that the dawn of victory had begun to emerge, so cheers were like thunder.
Immediately afterwards, a clutch appeared, and the clutch rushed over and then rose a red sail.
This is a signal of victory.
Hao Fenglou immediately breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but smash the ship's side with his fist, shouting: "A great victory in the Chongming Naval Battle, come, Changxing Island!"
In addition to Chongming, there are also two islands in Changxing and Hengsha Islands. In order to provide supplies to the Japanese army on Chongming Island, the two islands have become important transit stations from the mainland to Chongming Island.
In other words, there... is a treasure given to Hao Fenglou by Xu Jingming.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The abnormality of Chongming Island has naturally been discovered by the Japanese army on Changxing Island. At this time, it was also a bit chaotic on Changxing Island. There was a fleet of Japanese people outside Changxing Island. Naturally, their main purpose was to transport grain.
Shui Po Sechang was the captain of a frigate. He was a samurai. In order to find the country, the Japanese sent some people to Lang Son for study and exchange. At that time, many Japanese were everywhere in Lang Son. Shui Po Sechang started as a sailor and gradually gained an intuitive understanding of the structure of gunboats and the new combat methods. He immediately returned to Japan and soon joined the Japanese navy and became the captain of a small guard gunboat.
This Japanese navy was a radical founding member, and Shui Po Sechang was no exception. His real name was Shui Po Masao. However, after the founding of the Japanese state, Shui Po Masao realized that his honor and disgrace were inseparable from the times and national destiny, so he changed his name to Shui Po.
This time, the Japanese army stationed in Chongming. He was ordered to protect the grain ship, and took more than 130 Japanese officers and soldiers on the ship, walking between Chongming and Changxing every day.
When the rolling smoke from Chongming came, the Japanese in Changxing suddenly felt bad, and Shui Po Sechang was the same. He immediately formed a small fleet with other guard gunboats to go to Chongming to find out.
only……
Not far from the port, black spots appeared on the sea level, and the black spots became larger and clearer. Then, ferocious gunboats appeared one after another. Shui Po Shichang was very familiar with these gunboats. He had seen such ships when he was studying in Lang Son, and he was the Lang Son Navy.
The sailors on the ship had already begun to be timid, because the Lang Son Army's ships were obviously several times higher than their own side. Not only that, but they were far more powerful than their own ships, regardless of speed, assembly, and size of the ships. One of the Japanese ships that came with them had already fled without saying a word.
Shui Po Sechang was full of anger. He cursed the Dongjiang Maruha who had escaped in the battle, then pulled out the Japanese knife from his waist and shouted: "We have been in the army to defend the country, and have long put life and death in the country. Today's affairs are just death! Hang up the sails and move forward at full speed."
He keenly felt that among the other gunboats, there was the largest Lang Son ship, especially those newly launched gunboats, which would be drawn in sketches by the Japanese in Lang Son, and sent back to the Japanese island for the Japanese navy to master.
Shui Po Shichang knew that this was the most advanced Datong ship of the Lang Sang Army.
The other party obviously relied on the strong ships and the cannons, so he did not take this small Japanese fleet seriously at all. Even the Datong simply broke away from the formation and showed off his power.
Shui Bo Shichang's body trembled and tears in his eyes. This is an insult and a provocation!
Shui Po Sechang roared: "The Langsan fleet relies on the Datong fleet. If it sinks into this ship, it will be enough to take its energy and accomplish things! Turn around, the Lords of Cheungshumaru, and the Datong artillery is sharp. You should follow me to smash the bones with the enemy ships with the hull of Cheungshumaru!"
The Japanese on the ship suddenly became so motivated and shouted together.
The Changshumaru was covered with sails, and it galloped towards the Datong like a sharp arrow.
However, at this time, the Lang Son fleet began to attack.
Countless artillery roared.
A cannon hit the hull of the Chuanshumaru, and the entire hull shook violently, and several Japanese were thrown into the sea.
But Shui Po Shichang was unmoved and just urged the ship to continue sailing, biting the Datong as if he was crazy.
More artillery fires were vented like rain of fire, and shells fell directly into the sails. The sails burned, and the raging fire ignited, and the ship speed suddenly weakened.
The hull also began to tilt.
A mast fell down and hit the deck hard, and countless sailors were killed.
At this time, the Nagashumaru had to circulate in the sea.
Shui Po Shichang was very sad and angry, and flew to go to the artillery room to personally activate the artillery and fight back, although this fight back was futile.
He had just entered the artillery room, but he was stunned. A cannon exploded and blasted...
The Nagashumaru fell silent, nearly half of his tilted hull was immersed in the sea, and was finally swallowed up by the sea water.
On the sea, Japanese people were wailing with wooden boards everywhere.
Several guard gunboats were all ruined by fish belly. The Lang Son fleet did not stay here, but continued to sail towards Changxing.
The waves flipped up, slapped the fallen people into the sea. The hull of the Lang Son fleet, which was swimming on the sea, quickly disappeared.
On the sea, floating corpses floated up and were swept by these huge waves. When the last ray of black smoke was burned out, everything returned to peace.
