Chapter 1482: Falling into Hell
The Central Plains are prosperous.
And in the East China Sea, the Korean Strait.
In the waters near Tsushima Island, a war is under the stormy waves.
The Japanese fleet was covered with overwhelming force, and the eighteen thin fleets lined up in Dahua were about to swallow Dahua in one go, but just less than two hundred steps away, Dahua's warships opened fire.
Two hundred steps apart.
This is an extremely safe distance in the eyes of the Japanese.
On the Japanese ships, the famous masters were mobilizing their soldiers, shouting and asking them to pick up rattan cards, spears, and swords.
Suwo Kuramaro's combat plan is very simple. With the huge number of warships, he rushed forward and gave a tactic of ants to kill the elephant. He surrounded him, boarded the enemy ship, and then fought in close combat.
He had more than a thousand ships and fifty thousand soldiers.
The other party only has eighteen ships, and no matter how tall those ships are, they are definitely not their opponents.
The Japanese were impatiently holding a knife and knocking on their shields, making a shout of ah, as if victory was already waving to them.
Some people even think that they must grab a few horizontal swords or two sets of armor at that time. It is said that Dahua's swords are the sharpest and the armor is the strongest.
In Japan, a Tang sword can be sold at an excellent price, a set of Dahua armor can even be exchanged for a large area of land.
He shouted excitedly, screamed.
The daimyos shouted the archers to prepare.
These archers have a longbow unique to Japan, and one bow is much longer than the archers.
It was at this moment.
Suddenly, the thin rows of Dahua warships on the opposite side flashed through the side of the ship.
"Wow, so beautiful!"
“As beautiful as cherry blossoms!”
The Japanese people standing on the deck looked at the beautiful scene in amazement. When the cannons were rising and falling, the sound of sparks appeared first.
Sparks flashed by, and there were waves of white smoke.
On the blue sea, it is indeed extremely beautiful.
Suddenly, bursts of thunder sounded in the sky.
The giant thunder was like a thunder blew in his ears.
Some Japanese were not as careful as possible and sat on the deck directly by the continuous loud noises. Some even became so scared that they urinated directly.
"What is that?" someone asked blankly.
"I heard that there is a weapon called artillery on Chinese warships. It's very powerful. Maybe this is artillery."
"artillery?"
Someone wondered, "Why are they setting artillery when we are still so far away?"
In their minds, cannons should be catapults, artillery cannons, probably throwing rockets that can throw fireballs. It is normal to load catapults on ships, and they also have them on their large ships. However, the catapults on ships are not as good as those on land, and they cannot throw too far due to restrictions.
Two hundred steps, this is too far.
"Yes, what are they doing?"
Some Japanese laugh at Dahua Navy's stupidity.
"Hahaha!"
They laughed, some began to laugh at the person who was so scared that he sat on the ground, and some even kicked and beat the guy who had peed his pants.
A scream came.
The Japanese who had just blushed and got up, felt a violent shaking under his feet, and he couldn't stand firmly and fell down again.
This time, he was not the only one who fell down, and a group of people on the deck fell down.
"What's going on?"
The ship swayed violently.
Someone was shouting, "Our ship was hit."
Someone got up, leaned to the side of the ship, and was shocked to find that his ship had been smashed into a big hole. Fortunately, the hole was above the waterline, but he was still shocked by the power.
Two hundred steps away, I was hit?
What is this gun?
The whistling sound continued, and artillery fire was coming again.
Someone felt a black shadow roaring in front of him, and was so scared that he hurriedly squatted on the ground.
The black shadow flew over his head and hit the mast.
With the crunch, the thick mast actually broke.
After looking carefully, I found that there was an iron chain wrapped around the mast break, and at both ends of the iron chain were two iron balls tied to the iron chain.
The iron chain wrapped around the mast, and then the huge force driven by the iron ball slammed the mast.
"Who has such great strength to throw the hammer so far?" Someone was panicked.
How powerful does this take?
The mast broke and the ship could no longer take advantage of the wind. The ship behind it hit and the person on the ship fell to the ground again.
Another shell came, and this time their luck was not so good. They were directly hit at the waterline and the ship began to leak.
The Japanese people shouted in panic, trying to block the hole, but the water was in full swing and the boat began to tilt. The people on the deck fell, and some people were thrown into the sea directly.
Some Japanese people couldn't swim at all and fell into the sea and called for help in panic. But at this time, there were flying shells, and there were panicked crew members everywhere. No one could care about the unlucky guys who fell into the water.
The Japanese ships in the front were hit one after another, and were not overturned by any ships entering the water. Some ships even had their masts broken by artillery fire.
Although the Dahua Navy's naval guns were made of solid bullets and did not have flower bullets, there were chain bullets and grape bullets in the solid bullets.
The chain bomb is two shells linked together with iron chains. After being blasted out, it rotates and sweeps over, specifically aiming at the mast of the enemy ship. This chain bomb has great lethality on the crimping of the mast.
On the sea, if you lose your mast, you often lose your motivation and become a lamb at slaughter. Especially for the old Japanese ships, the sails were small and slow. If you break a mast, the entire ship could withdraw from the battle.
Grape bombs are also powerful. There are several iron bombs in a grape bomb, which is equivalent to large shotguns, sweeping a large area.
Eighteen gun ships, with more than 1,000 artillery pieces, even if less than half of the artillery fire at a time, they still have five or six hundred artillery pieces.
The five or six hundred artillery fired closely together, forming a powerful barrage.
The enemy ships on that line were basically within the bombardment range. Even if the artillery accuracy was insufficient at this time, it was like a line-up of a musket team, making up for the lack of accuracy with dense firepower, especially the Japanese ships were still as dense as they were.
It's simply the best target.
The gunners were constantly shooting, and in front of each gun position, the gunners were trying their best to clean and load. They showed their most professional qualities and fired at the fastest speed.
When we arrived at the back, the gunners could not see clearly the situation on the opposite side. They were just listening to the command of the mast looking out for the mail.
Continuously clean, load and shoot in one direction.
As soon as the cannon fired, quickly clean the cannon chamber, reload it, then reset the cannon, adjust the direction and angle, and ignite the cannon.
On the deck of the Overlord, Liu Rengui kept observing the opposite side with a thousand-mile mirror.
Watching one ship after another sinking, watching many ships lose their power and float on the sea, watching the Japanese ships crash into messy and more densely blocked, he felt as excited as if he had drunk wine.
This wine is also the imperial wine given by the emperor.
Too intoxicating.
These Japanese people were posing so well that they couldn't help but want to keep shooting the cannon.
"Come again!"
"Pay attention to the wind direction, grasp the distance, and don't let those dog-dances rush over."
"You don't have to worry about rushing over. Our battleships are so tall that even if their small sampans are approaching, they will not be able to climb up for a while." A staff officer said proudly.
Another officer smiled and said, "Our Marines have been idle here. When they come, I'm just going to have sex."
Liu Rengui cursed with a smile, "Cao, I personally commanded it. These are eighteen giants, all of which are first- and second-level warships. It is considered the most powerful maritime combat force of the Dahua Navy. If I let those Japanese approach and climb onto my ship, it would be really disgusting."
"These ships are my wife and concubines, how can the Japanese get up?"
"The commander said it well, never let the Japanese get close, and never let them touch it."
The small ships of the Japanese do not mean that they are fast. The large warships of Dahua do not mean that they are slow. In fact, on the contrary, Dahua's battleships are all streamlined. These ships themselves are designed for combat, so they have the fastest speed and the fastest steering.
Especially these first- and second-level battleships have four masts and a large number of sails. After the sails rise, the speed is the same as flying.
Even if Japan is still using a boat with hard sails, it can't catch up even if it's milk.
The fierce artillery fire shocked the Japanese.
They had never fought such a war, or the Japanese actually had no experience in a big war. In the past, the battles were often fought between various powerful people. To put it more exaggeratedly, that is, the level of village wars.
Although 50,000 people have been gathered, these pieces of troops really do not even have the level of Dahua’s militia and poor equipment.
Although the number of these ships on board is large, there are all kinds of messy merchant ships and fishing boats. What's worse is that they lack an effective command system.
It is said that it is a fleet, but it is actually a united by countless powerful people, which is quite loose.
When Dahua fought their front army with such unparalleled powerful firepower, the people behind him didn't know what was going on, and even had various reactions.
Some people continued to rush forward, some ran backward, and even some stopped there and looked around.
"The Japanese pirates, remember the name of grandpa, Liu Rengui, and went to the underworld to report the name of grandpa. In the next life, don't be the enemy of Dahua."
Su I, Kuramaru, stared blankly as his flagship was sinking, and he was hit by several shells in succession, several of which were under the waterline.
There is no one else who has this kind of luck.
But looking at the sunken ships around, there is nothing to complain about.
Picking up a wooden barrel, Su I, Kuramaro, jumped into the sea before the ship had sunk. The cold sea water poured into the nose and mouth, full of bitterness and bloody smell.
