Chapter 437
"Fire the gun" "Room..."
A solid bullet instantly broke out, and immediately pierced the sail on the warship flying the Japanese flag into a big hole. The huge inertia almost broke the mast and then landed in the nearby sea, splashing huge waves.
The battle ringtone immediately rang on the Japanese warship, and a messenger was so scared that he almost fell into the sea. He hurried back to the command cabin to report:
"Report to the captain, the Ming army suddenly fired fire at our warship to warn us. There were no casualties, but the sails were pierced and damaged."
"Bastard, the Ming warship is too rampant. When have we ever suffered such a coward... Forget it, don't bother with them, order the fleet to pass through this sea area quickly, and never contact the Ming army."
When the captain heard that the Ming Navy dared to fire and warn, he was furious and almost ordered a counterattack, but soon realized something and quickly changed his words.
This is not a Japanese warship. There is clearly a Western captain in the command cabin. There are only five or six Japanese on the entire warship. To be more precise, this is a Dutch warship.
The entire fleet was full of Dutch warships and merchant ships, but there were only a few Japanese on each warship.
The six merchant ships were all shipped to Japan, including firearms, military materials, some food, etc.
The Japanese have been in trade with the Dutch before, and their firearms mainly come from the Netherlands. Since they were sanctioned by the Ming Dynasty, it has been difficult for Dutch warships and merchant ships to enter this sea area.
The materials transported several times were robbed by the Ming Navy. Not only the Dutch people were anxious, but the Japanese people were even more anxious.
Several small-scale battles occurred in the middle, but in front of the Ming Navy's armored warships, the Dutch had to be beaten and eventually retreated in shame.
The Dutch fleet was spread all over the world, and it was impossible for them to transfer all warships to fight the Ming Dynasty. If they did that, they would not be able to bear the consequences whether they were defeated or defeated.
Because they knew very well that when they fought the Ming Dynasty, the Western countries would take the opportunity to impress the Netherlands, but they still lost the watermelon and picked up sesame seeds. The key is that the sesame may not be picked up.
So the Japanese thought of a wonderful way to find several Dutch warships and merchant ships that had never appeared in the East Asian waters.
Then they used Japanese sailors and hung the Japanese flag. They thought they could get away with it because the Ming warships had never had a precedent for boarding and searching.
This is the main reason why Dutch warships hang the Japanese flag and pretend to be Japanese warships.
After being blocked by the Ming warship, how dare they let the Ming navy inspect it? Once the Ming warship discovers a trick, these two warships and six merchant ships will become the trophy of the Ming warship.
As the commander of the fleet, Juan could only order the fleet to leave this sea area and sail to Japan quickly. As long as he reached the waters of Japan, the Ming warships should not be chasing them.
Whether it was the Japanese fleet or not, they had to stop when the Ming Dynasty wanted to inspect it. As a result, they not only kept stopping, but also said a word and fled desperately towards the Japanese waters.
When the captain Chongzhen saw Haijiao, he knew that there was something wrong with the fleet ahead, so he immediately asked Huang Fei for instructions:
"Governor, the Japanese fleet ignored us at all and was moving forward at full speed. Finally, we will order the artillery to fire. As long as one is sunk, they will surely be honest immediately."
Huang Fei looked at the young captain and nodded with satisfaction:
"You can do it yourself. As long as you don't let the other party escape, you can fight whatever you want."
"Thank you for your trust."
The captain of the Chongzhen, thanked the deputy governor, turned around and picked up the walkie-talkie:
"The Chongzhen Zhengde obeyed the order and chased at full speed. When it was parallel to the opponent's first ship, it concentrated its firepower to sink it!"
"yes"
The two warships immediately chased at full speed. The Ming warship was much faster than the sailing warship, and soon they lined up side by side with the first escort warship of the opponent's fleet.
"God, the Ming warships are too fast, we can't escape at all. The Japanese are all bad ideas..."
Seeing that the Ming Iron Armored Warship was already running side by side with their warships, everyone in the Maple began to panic. Especially after seeing the gun door of the Ming warship opened, they felt that their souls were even scared away.
The captain hurriedly ordered:
"Be prepared to fire the artillery. Once the Ming warship opens fire, we must fight back immediately, otherwise we will be sunk here."
Captain Chongzhen had a sneer on the corner of his mouth. When he saw that his warship gun door was almost equal to the other party's position, he immediately ordered:
"fire"
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Bang bang bang..."
The 96 guns fired bombardment from the opponent's warships at almost the same time, and countless solid bullets bombarded violently on both sides of the opponent's warships.
The opponent's warships are all wooden warships. Although they have a small amount of armor, they cannot withstand the bombardment of solid bombs under such dense shells.
The wood chips on the side of the ship were bombarded and the artillery on the second deck had not had time to ignite the fire, and almost all of them were killed and injured. The naval guns were bombarded and lying in the cabin.
The two sides of the warship were quickly beaten into hornet's nests, and the sea water surged from the broken hole into the warship's cabin, and the warship began to sink slowly.
When the warships entered the water, the soldiers on the enemy ships immediately made the enemy ships go in chaos and run to the highest point. Some soldiers stumbled to the command room to report.
"The captain's big trouble is not good. The Ming army warships began to bombard our army warships. The projectile had already entered the water and was about to sink. Run away quickly!"
Captain Hu An thought that the Ming army warship would not fire, so he warned him at most several times. He could leave the Ming waters after sailing for two hours. It would definitely be very safe at that time.
How could I think that the Ming army suddenly launched a shelling attack and bombarded the projectiles in a short time. Now it has begun to enter water and will soon sink into the sea.
In desperation, Juan had to give up the order to escape from the Projectile. The captain gave up the battleship and fled. Others followed suit, and artillery sailors jumped into the sea to escape.
Seeing that his flagship was sunk by the Ming army, other merchant ships did not dare to move at all, so they had to stop the ship obediently and prepare to be inspected by the Ming soldiers. Only the warship at the end turned around and ran away.
When Cape saw that most of the people who jumped into the sea and escaped were red-haired fans, he instantly understood the truth and immediately went to Huang Fei to report:
"Governor, this fleet should be all from the Dutch. They are selling dog meat with sheep's heads. They think they can get away with it by pretending to be Japanese ships. They think too naively. The warship behind has already fled. Should they pursue it?"
Huang Fei was furious when he heard this:
"Damn, what are the Japanese devils trying to do? During the Jiajing period, they repeatedly offended the coast of our Ming Dynasty. Now they know that the Ming Dynasty was fighting a trade war with the Red Mahogany.
Not only did they secretly engage in trade with Hongmao Fan, they also wanted to play a game of hiding the world. They passed the orders of the governor not to rescue one person in the sea, and let them all feed the fish. The escaped warship would not pay attention to Shi Lang, waiting for them there."
"yes"
Captain Chongzhen walked onto the deck, looked at the red-haired and Japanese devils struggling in the sea, and ordered the warships to board the merchant ship for inspection.
Seeing that the incident had been exposed, the Dutch and the Japanese on the merchant ship walked on the deck to be inspected by the Ming army. The Cape personally led the five hundred navy onto the merchant ship.
Seeing the Ming army boarding the ship, the red-haired men squatted down honestly with their heads in their hands, but the Japanese were ungrateful and wanted to negotiate with the captain of the Ming Dynasty.
"Which one of you is the Ming army captain? We are Japanese, and I want to talk to the Ming army captain."
