Chapter 172 win

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhu Houzhao immediately panicked. Their target was the Zheng Hebao warship. Where did they have a Ming emperor on this ship?

The navy from the left and right volleyed down, but the effect was not as good as expected, but after being attacked by the enemy a few times, the soldiers of No. 40 or 50 were lost.

“Quickly pass on my will, gather the left and right armies, and focus fire on each other!”

Zhu Houzhao stood on the deck with his eyes fixed in the distance. The Japanese pirates’ warships rushed towards this side at a rapid speed. They could see that they were less than ten miles away, and their three-eyed guns were all aimed at the soldiers on the Zheng Hebao.

“Your Majesty, it will be too late if you don’t order to fire!” Cao Zhengchun stood beside Zhu Houzhao and reminded Zhu Houzhao.

“Yes, it seems that the assembly is too late. This is my mistake. Quickly order General Qi to fire and beat me to the death of these pirates!”

Just as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he heard the sound of several cannons.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of rounds of lead were launched towards the thief ship in front of them. At the same time, the thieves on the opposite side also began to counterattack. They did not use cannons, but the latest firearms such as three-eyed guns.

Zhu Houzhao has seen this kind of three-eyed gun. Although it is now in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing has just been invented, and it is very powerful, but for Zhu Houzhao who has passed through in later generations, this simple device is equivalent to later generations. ordinary machine gun.

However, this kind of bird gun has a big limitation, that is, each shot can only be filled with four to five bullets. If the bullets are fired, it may take some time to refill. Therefore, the Japanese side is generally Don’t use the three-eyed gun, they don’t use it until the two sides enter the official battle.

This use gives full play to the advantages of the three-eyed gun, that is, it is flexible and ingenious, and its accuracy is extremely high.

After the firearms were fired one after another, the Japanese pirates’ ships were blocked. Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief and reached out and wiped it on his forehead.

This was the first naval battle he personally commanded, and he couldn’t embarrass Daming, let alone himself.

You must know that there are hundreds of thousands of Daming Road Army behind him watching him, as well as those civil servants and guards, they are all looking at themselves eagerly!

“Continue to fire at me, add enough firepower to fire, I firmly believe that this time I will definitely defeat the enemy, pass my will, and fire with more firepower.”

Xiaofangzi quickly conveyed Zhu Houzhao’s words, and Qi Jingtong also quickly conveyed Zhu Houzhao’s words to the ears of the generals below.

But at this moment, except for a few Japanese pirate warships that were sunk, the remaining five warships on the sea quickly gathered together. They set up their artillery and started shooting directly at the Daming Zhenghe Bao.

Boom!

After a few cannonballs, the Zheng Hebao warship began to shake violently. Immediately, one of the cabins was pierced by artillery lead bullets. Several shells landed not far behind Zhu Houzhao, and immediately collected a cloud of blood.

Cao Zhengchun nervously protected Zhu Houzhao, looking up at the cannons flying by in front of him.

“My mother-in-law’s gang of pirates, I didn’t expect them to have such a trump card. It seems that I underestimated this group of bandits.”

Zhu Houzhao scolded and scolded, changing the momentum of the king in the past, and transformed himself into a front-line general.

Because of his identity, he planned to go to sea this time and return to the DPRK after winning this battle. That way, he also has the capital to show off, and it is also the result of testing himself for so many years of studying military affairs.

But he didn’t expect that his strategy was wrong, and it seemed that more than a year of hard work would be in vain.

“Give me enough firepower to sink these pirate ships!” Zhu Houzhao shook off Cao Zhengchun beside him angrily and strode up to the high platform of the warship to see if there was any other way to defend against the enemy. .

However, soon the enemy’s firepower was reduced a lot, and the attack was not as strong.

Zhu Houzhao took a closer look and saw that behind these enemy ships, a small warship was carrying a large number of Ming navy soldiers who dropped firearms and jumped towards the enemy’s warship with guns.

“Stop, stop shooting immediately.”

Xiao Fangzi quickly passed on Zhu Houzhao’s words again.

At this time, someone lit the fire box, and was ready to launch the newly loaded ammunition at the thief ship in front of him at any time.

Hearing the order to stop firing, many soldiers just blew the matchstick with their mouths inflated, for fear that the matchlock would go out.

Looking at the center of the sea again, after hundreds of Daming navies quickly boarded the pirate ships, they stabbed the Japanese pirates on those warships with guns one by one.

A few timid ones immediately stopped firing the firearms in their hands, crouched down and put their hands on their heads, hoping that the Ming Navy would spare them.

It turned out that the right-wing deputy general Qi Jiguang led his troops back on the same route without any hesitation after receiving the order from Zhu Houzhao to call them to assemble quickly.

But on the way, he found that it was still too late to stop the enemy, because the firearms of the other party were all aimed at the Daming Zhenghe, and he relaxed the shooting of their flanking left and right, which gave Qi Jiguang an opportunity!

Will be outside, military orders are at odds!

Qi Jiguang immediately stopped heading back to the front, but directly ordered to abandon the ship, and chose three hundred soldiers to quickly board an exploration ship, and quickly approached the enemy’s warship.

When the Japanese pirates concentrated their firepower and began to violently attack the Daming chartered ship, a warship suddenly appeared behind them, and approached their warship at a very fast speed. They bloodied.

Because of the small number of Japanese pirates and the fact that several major warships were sunk before, most of them had already lost their combat effectiveness, and more than 300 navies quickly brought the enemy warships under control.

Zhu Houzhao stood on the high platform. After seeing this scene, he finally relaxed his tense nerves and let out a long sigh of relief.

The right-wing deputy general Qi Jiguang who commanded the attack from behind, Zhu Houzhao wrote down the general’s name.

After a while, Qi Jiguang, who was holding dozens of Japanese pirates, came to Zhu Houzhao.

“Your Majesty, I have captured all these pirates, please show your majesty.”

At this time, Cao Zhengchun brought a chair and let Zhu Houzhao sit down, and they immediately stood beside Zhu Houzhao. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

The dozens of Japanese pirates who were captured were loudly speaking the Japanese language that the Ming Navy could not understand.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Qi Jiguang and said, “Aiqing, do you know what these foreigners are saying?”

Qi Jiguang cupped his hands and said, “Go back to Your Majesty, I judged based on their mouths, they seem to be begging His Majesty for mercy, and I don’t know what they are doing?”

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction. This was a great victory for him to command the navy. He turned to Cao Zhengchun and said, “Cao Aiqing, send out this wise decision, so that the soldiers who are guarding the border outside can study hard. a bit.”

“Besides, find someone who understands their language. I want to ask them why they attacked me so desperately. Why?”

Cao Zhengchun bowed to answer and went out.

After a while, a small fisherman was brought over.

“Kneel down!”

The fisherman knew that the person in front of him might be a high-ranking officer in the Ming Navy, so he honestly knelt down and waited for Zhu Houzhao’s questioning.
