Chapter 910 The Battle of Tsushima Sea (10)

The warships of the fourth column moved into the firing position one after another, projecting firepower to the Japanese fleet one by one.

The Dongying people's ships were arranged very tightly, which made Xia Guo's navy no need to deliberately aim, just shoot towards the opposite side.

Obviously, they have suffered heavy losses before, but the Dongying people are also famous for their iron heads.Life and death don't know the change, and they still charge forward in silence.

Therefore, under every fire attack, the warships of the Dongpu people were damaged.Either be destroyed, or be destroyed, completely lose combat effectiveness.

On the whole, the Dongying people are still in a passive situation.

But because more than [-] gunboats were transferred to the front, they had a certain ability to fight back.

However, the low-quality artillery skills of the Dongying people caused great trouble to the Xia Guo Navy.

If the Dongying people can fire artillery salvos, then in terms of their artillery loading speed, basically they can only fire one round of salvos, and then they can only watch the fourth column walk away.

However, because the Dongying people could not shoot salvos, the order of firing was messed up, and the intervals were very long.

This caused the fourth column to always have ships within the range of artillery strikes when the fourth column passed horizontally.

The penultimate Haicang ship was in bad luck. It was directly hit behind by a shell, and the entire podium was wiped out.

To make matters worse, the rudder was damaged.Let the ship immediately lose its direction and start spinning on the sea.

This scene made the Dongying people very excited, and dozens of ships rushed towards them.

The officers and soldiers of the Xia army on the Haicang ship were struggling to save themselves. Looking at the Dongying people rushing towards them at a high speed in the distance, they were trying to adjust the sails while firing non-stop.

If you can't leave the battlefield, it's good to be able to kill one more enemy.

The Haicang boat from behind came up to meet him.

"What's going on? Can you still leave?"

On the damaged Haicang ship, all the officers and soldiers who were still alive had tears in their eyes.

"The captain died, and the rudder was damaged. You go, we will cover."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When can our Xia army abandon our comrades-in-arms?"

While speaking, several thick ropes were thrown over with claw hooks, firmly hooking the damaged Haicang boat.

It's not that the rudder is broken.

It's not possible to adjust the course.

Then let your comrades help!
Under the tug of the friendly ship, the damaged Haicang ship finally found its direction, and its speed increased again.

Seeing the situation here, the last Haicang ship took the initiative to reduce its speed, and desperately attacked the rushing Guan ship with artillery.

Until this moment, the Xia Guo Navy's breech-loading guns fully reflected the rate of fire.

In the eyes of the Dongying people, there was obviously only one ship firing on the opposite side, but the shells kept hitting their heads continuously.

The first closed ship was penetrated by shells, and the huge explosion wave made all the ships behind it stagnant, and had to slow down to avoid it.

When they went around, they could only see the damaged Haicang boat dragged by Xia Guo's navy, which had already run far away.

Just when they were still about to pursue, the sound of panic horns filled the eardrums.

The Dongying people looked towards the northwest in amazement.

As a result, it was seen that another queue of Xia Guo's fleet was rushing towards them.

"It's the fleet that appeared before, and they circled back."

That's right, the fleet that reappeared in front of the Dongpu people this time was the first column led by Zuo Hua.

After the first column completed the first wave of attacks, it drew a large circle on the sea in the southwest, and circled to the rear of the fourth column.

In this way, the entire Xia Kingdom Navy is like a stone mill, spinning clockwise in the nearby sea area.

When each column turns to the front of the Japanese people, it completes the fire attack.

It was through this method of fighting that Xia Guo's navy established a continuous output, which caused great trouble for the Dongying people.

By this time, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu had fully understood the intentions of the Xia Kingdom Navy.

"Send the order, the whole army assaults, and spreads out across the sea. I want to make their formation impossible!"

To deal with Xia Guo's navy's rotation formation, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu came up with a solution.

That is to no longer maintain the distribution of front, rear, left, and right, but order all warships to form a horizontal array, regardless of priority, to attack together.

More than a thousand warships, once stretched horizontally, will form a vast cross section.In this way, the Xia Guo Navy's point-to-point defense will inevitably lose its effect.

At this point in the war, the Dongying people suffered heavy losses, and they were already holding a sigh of relief.After receiving Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's order, all the warships immediately began to change formation, pressing towards the west like a black line.

It's just a pity that Mitsuhisa Shimadzu woke up too late.

Although the Xia Guo Navy's array is still rotating, every rotation actually represents a retreat.By this time, it was less than ten miles away from the North Korean coastline.

In other words, they don't have much room for conversion.

That being the case, it can only use all the killer moves.

"Order the ships, use the rockets!"

Every ship in the Xia State Navy is equipped with twelve-barrel rocket launchers.

The only difference is that larger ships will be fitted with two doors, while smaller boats will be fitted with one.

The rocket launcher is different from the artillery, because there is not much recoil, so these old sailing ships can fully withstand it.

The only thing to pay attention to is to place the rocket launcher well to avoid the strong tail flame from igniting your own ship.

More than [-] rocket launchers were launched almost simultaneously, and a large orange-red red dot suddenly appeared in the sky, quickly grazing towards the Japanese fleet.

"what is that?"

The strange and brilliant scene fascinates the people of Dongying.

It's a pity that this beauty will reap their lives.

The rockets directly enveloped a huge sea area, whether they hit the warship or fell into the sea, all of them exploded violently.

The damage effect of hitting a warship is no worse than that of a cannonball, one shot at a time.

Those that fell on the sea caused more damage to Japanese warships than cannonballs.

Because the naval version of the rocket is not only filled with gunpowder, but also petroleum extracts.

After research by Xia Guo Military Industry, it was found that once this kind of oil burns, it cannot be extinguished with water.Even on the surface of the water, it can still burn violently.

This kind of sharp weapon will undoubtedly have a devastating effect when used in water warfare.

That's it.

With the explosion of the rocket, the sea where the Dongpu fleet was located immediately burned into an endless fire.

All Japanese warships in this area were quickly ignited.

All the Dongying people were terrified.

With their knowledge, it is completely impossible to understand why fire can burn on water.Moreover, the bottom of the ship has long been soaked by sea water, which also cannot stop the spread of the flames.

The burning area produced by the rockets is several miles wide, and there are at least five hundred Japanese warships surrounded by them.

At this time, all the ships were on fire, let alone a surprise attack, and they couldn't even save themselves.

On some warships that began to crumble, Japanese soldiers jumped into the sea in despair, hoping to survive.

However, as soon as their bodies touched the water, they were immediately ignited by the nearby flames.

In particular, the surrounding sea water was scalding extremely hot, making them fat meat that kept tumbling in the boiling water.

On the tragic battlefield, the strong and strange smell of meat made both the enemy and us feel like vomiting.

Seeing this scene, even the Dongying people who were not harmed completely collapsed.
