Chapter 513 Return to Hong Kong
When the warships docked, the storm came as scheduled. According to Jiang Lang's order, all ships dropped their anchors, the transport ships were located at the innermost point, and the warships were located outside to resist the storm.
The storm outside was storm, and the warships also rose and fell with the waves. Even if the anchor was dropped, the entire warship was still bumping on the sea surface. However, compared with those warships, the draft of the large warship was the least affected. However, you could still hear the crackling sound from the hull, as if it was about to break.
The entire fleet of warships only leaned together. Although there were collisions between the warships, no warships were swept away by the waves due to the storm.
After the storm raged all night, it finally stopped in the early morning. There was no trace of dark clouds in the sky, and the rising sun slowly rose from the sea.
Jiang Lang also walked out of the ship, took a deep breath with a slight salty sea breeze, then moved his muscles and stretched his waist. Looking around, the entire fleet seemed a little messy, and the soldiers were already busy on the warships.
"grown ups!"
Fei Wen's voice came.
Jiang Lang did not look back, but asked, "How is the loss?"
"There is no big loss, but some collisions between warships are caused by some damage, and they do not have much impact on the warships!"
Feiwen reported immediately.
Jiang Lang nodded slightly and said, "Order all warships to set sail and strive to rush back to the military port when it gets dark. I want to have supper in the military port!"
"Yes, sir!"
Fei Wen agreed.
Jiang Lang then approached his room.
The horn sounded, and the warship raised its sails again and began to sail towards the military port.
The whole morning was calm and there was no sign of warships. The Komu Army did not know where to go.
After lunch, Jiang Lang was about to take a break. At this time, a knock on the door came, and Fei Wen's voice was also heard: "Sir, I have discovered the situation, please come out!"
When Jiang Lang heard this, he walked out of the boat warehouse and came outside the door. He saw Fei Wenzhen standing outside the boat and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Sir, please come with me!"
Feiwen said, then walked towards the side of the ship.
Jiang Lang felt a little strange. He followed him to the side of the ship and looked towards the sea. He saw that the wreckage of many warships floating on the sea were some of the small pieces of wood, while others were relatively large hulls with very obvious burning marks on it. At a glance, the number of these wreckages was quite large. From the large wreckage, it was judged that there were at least two warships, and there were also some corpses on the sea.
"It seems that it should be the ship of Kotomi Army!"
Fei Wen judged.
Jiang Lang nodded slightly. This ship should be a Komu military ship. It would only appear after being hit by the Ming Dynasty artillery. It should be the Komu military ship that fought with him yesterday. As he said, they encountered a storm, and some of their ships did not withstand it, especially such damaged ships.
"Sir, it seems that there is still a living thing!"
Fei Wen suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lang raised the lens tube in his hand and looked over. Sure enough, there were still a few alive Gumu Jun on the sea. They survived such a big storm yesterday. I have to admire their great life.
"Kill them!"
Jiang Lang said lightly, then put away the lens tube in his hand. There was no need for sympathy for these Gumu Jun, and there was no mercy to kill them!
"yes!"
Fei Wen agreed very readily, and then ordered the warship to put down a small boat. Several soldiers sat on it with rifles. After the boat got into the water, he rowed towards the surviving Komu Army soldiers.
The soldiers of the Komu Army thought that these Ming soldiers would save them, as if they had caught a life-saving straw, waved their hands desperately, and then shouted with all their strength.
However, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not extend a rescue hand to them as they imagined, but raised the gun in their palms and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out.
"ah……!"
Kou Mujun let out his last scream before his death. After struggling for a while, he slowly sank into the bottom of the water, and a bloody flower appeared on the water surface.
And this was just the beginning. The soldiers rowed the boats and cleared them one by one. After the crisp gunshots, the last scream of Kou Mu Jun before his death, and then the sea surface returned to peace.
"It's over!"
Feiwen reported.
"very good!"
Jiang Lang nodded and said, "We don't need any kindness to Koumujun, and we are not saviors either!"
After saying that, Jiang Lang turned around and walked into the boat warehouse.
The sea surface returned to calm. For the fleet moving forward, it was just a small episode. However, the fierce naval battle yesterday also became the topic of discussion among these soldiers, especially the soldiers on these five new warships. This was their first battle with the Komu Army. The Komu Army was shot and the other side was rushing, and the other side did not move at all. This alone was enough to make them excited.
Jiang Lang did not give orders to stop the soldiers' excitement. After all, most of them were recruits and were young. If they didn't have a good talk now, they might sleep in the artillery fire that day.
The fleet sailed as planned and finally arrived at the military port in the afternoon. The appearance of such a huge warship also made Deng Yuanjue and others nervous in the harbor. However, after seeing the Ming flag on it, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he was immediately attracted by these huge warships and waited on the warships excitedly. Of course, he also saw those shots hit by the Komu Army, revealing the iron plate inside. He couldn't help but admire the thick skin of these warships. You must know that the warships that had not been reinforced before could easily penetrate the hull with one shot. This is also why many warships that were hit by the Ming shells exploded because they ignited the gunpowder inside. After all, the gunpowder of this era is not TNT, and it is necessary to detonate. A little bit of Mars is the origin of the disaster.
After reading these navy generals one by one, they couldn't help but be amazed.
Jiang Lang also walked out of the ship warehouse at this time, looking at the harbor in front of him, and left for nearly two months. As Deng Yuanjue said in his letter, the outer walls of the military port were basically intact, and the city walls near the coast had begun to be built. Dozens of docks derived from the sea had already attacked at the same time. They only saw that the warships would be docked, so the distances of these docks were very wide, and even if the latest warships were docked, it would not be any problem.
As for the shore, in addition to some military barracks, some houses on the streets are now being built. After all, Jianglang’s plan is not only a military port, but also a trade port.
On the sea, in addition to the warships that were docked, there were also a large number of merchant ships. It seemed that they were merchant ships that should be waiting for escort. It was also the main reason why I left behind domestic affairs and rushed back in a hurry.
"Sir, these warships are so majestic!"
Deng Yuanjue's voice came.
Jiang Lang turned his head slightly and saw Deng Yuanjue walking towards him. So he smiled slightly and said, "The mighty is the mighty. Should we find some craftsmen to repair these warships? Although we did not damage the warships yesterday, many were injured."
Deng Yuanjue nodded quickly and called a soldier to inform the people to repair the ship. Then he said: "I heard from Lord Fei that there were more than 30 Gumu Army ships that Lord Fei faced yesterday?"
“What’s the use of a lot of numbers?”
Jiang Lang didn't care much at all; "The key is to the combat power and weapons of the warships. The artillery of the Komu Army is still solid bullets, and they are even more stupid and cannot penetrate the warships of our current ships. Moreover, in terms of firepower, not to mention the medicine contained in our shells, the number of them can be regarded as the three of them!"
Deng Yuanjue nodded excitedly and said, "I wonder when we can all use this kind of warship?"
"It will take some time!"
Jiang Lang said lightly, and then kept asking the merchant ships, "How many merchant ships are waiting for escort now?"
"Fifty-eight! There are more than ten merchant ships in our dynasty!"
Deng Yuanjue immediately said, then smiled slightly and said, "Sir, I haven't come back. This is so anxious that the prince will ask you every day!"
Jiang Lang nodded and said, "I know too, and he also sent someone to send a letter to the capital and asked his sister to find the emperor. But that's all, if it were me, I would be anxious, so I'll send someone to notify him and say I'm back!"
"I don't need to see it!"
Deng Yuanjue shrugged his shoulders, pointed his hand down, and said, "He has come!"
Chapter completed!
