Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1123
"My lord uncle, if the Heavenly Army is so powerful, the Japanese navy will surely be defeated. How could it not be the blessing of North Korea?"

Li Sunshin's nephew is also a general of the Navy, no matter where he is in this day and age, he is a father and son soldier in battle, and this Li Wan is Li Sunshin's lieutenant general.

Hearing his nephew's question, Li Sunshin shook his head, lying on the side of the ship, looking at the Daemyung navy sailing on the side of the North Korean fleet, and after a long silence, he spoke again:

"Generally, when a country develops military forces at sea, it has the heart of expansion. How is it a blessing for North Korea to be on the side of Ming Dynasty?"

"Your Majesty still asks to be attached. There is nothing wrong with being a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. I have never been to the capital, but I don't know how much better Liaoyang is than Seoul."

Li Wan didn't agree with what Li Sunchen said, and muttered a few words there, Li Sunchen's eyes widened, and he wanted to yell and scold until the end but he didn't say anything, Li Wan also knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ran to the side to take care of it. The ship goes.

The current wind direction is favorable for the fleet, and this wind direction is a great advantage. The ships of the Navy Allied Forces are all fully sailed, but now the ships of the Daming Navy are lowering their sails, because their speed is far faster than The North Korean fleet should go hand in hand.

Among the Deming Fleet, Guangzhou Ships of different sizes surrounded three large Western ships, and one of the large Western ships could be seen with the sailor's flag on it.

However, this is not the focus of Yi Sunshin's attention. The 24 ships outside the Daming Fleet are the ones that startle him. The flagship of the division is even bigger and has more artillery on it. When he was in the port, he sent someone to read the names of these ships. The Fanren helped each other, but the subordinates reported that there were indeed a few Fanren on board, but most of them were sailors and crew members from the Celestial Dynasty.

Except for these four large ships, the other [-] ships are all gunboats with nearly [-] cannons, which look like the allies of the Japanese pirates.

Li Sunshin has always been quite confident in the turtle ships and wooden houseboats of the North Korean Navy. He felt that with such powerful ships, North Korea would not invade others, but self-defense was more than enough. But seeing this, all the confidence It collapsed all of a sudden, and I always felt heavy.

North Korean officials have a way of dealing with Ming military generals. Although Ping'an Road was ravaged by Japanese pirates and dilapidated, there is still wine and meat. Although there is not much gold and silver, there are also decent-looking women who serve comfortably. Convinced, also know a lot of insider information.

It turns out that this fleet is the private property of the Duke of Liao, and it is used for trading at sea on weekdays. Even the Western gunboats in the Daming Navy were built by the Duke of Liao's shipyard.

After hearing the news, all the generals of the North Korean Navy found it unbelievable. How much money such a large ship would cost? The turtle ships built by North Korea were accumulated over three generations. Such a large and small gunship, the materials consumed, and the money spent , How much does this cost.

How rich is Liao Guogong who can have such strength? Li Shunchen is also a figure from the second class. After listening to the description of the general of the Ming Dynasty, I felt that this word was appropriate.

However, it is said that there are ten such large ships in the fleet of the Duke of Liao, known as the "Ten Great Ships of the Seas", and the remaining six went there. Invincible, but where did the other six ships go, this idea always lingers in my mind.

In fact, the people around Li Sunshin are also strange. In fact, the situation in North Korea is much better than it was a few months ago. The main force of the army was extremely powerful, and the recovery of the whole territory was just around the corner, but Li Sunchen didn't show much joy and encouragement, and the worry on his face was even heavier, and he didn't know what he was worried about.

****************
"The Japanese pirate navy will be handed over to Master Zuo Shuishi, and the rest will be taken care of by our own army!"

Someone received a semaphore command from the flagship of the Ming army, and a large number of Japanese pirates and their allied warships could already be seen off the coast of Incheon.

The wind direction of the past few days is most beneficial to the naval alliance, because in a downwind state, as long as the ships of the Ming army are much faster than those of the Japanese pirates, and the main battleships even surpass the ships of the Shenwang fleet, even if the Japanese pirates are at sea. If you run away, you will be caught up. In such a situation, it is better to choose to fight in the offshore area with little wind, and maybe there is still a chance.

"My lord uncle, my lord uncle!"

Li Wan yelled a few times before Li Sunshin came back to his senses. The battle was imminent, but the general was distracted. Li Sunshin had been at the dragon head on the top floor of the turtle ship, watching the "Volunteer Fleet" and heard his nephew Shouting, it was only then that he realized that he quickly ordered:

"Avoid the enemy's gunboats, close to the Japanese pirates' ships and fight in close quarters. Focus on collision and ignition. Use firearms and bows with caution. Be careful not to be set on fire by the enemy. Be ready to signal at any time to send a signal to invite the heavenly army ships to meet the enemy's gunboats. Go and arrange it!"

This is the arrangement of the veteran general, Li Wan took the order and hurried over to arrange it.

The sails on the turtle ship and the board house boat were lowered one by one, and the masts fell down. On both sides of the cabin on the lowest floor, a huge paddle stretched out and fell into the sea. Then the trumpets sounded, and the paddles began to slide.

With the comparison of the previous battles, the North Korean naval forces are full of confidence. Their own gunboats are definitely stronger than the opponent's. But he was carefully observing the movements of the Daming Navy.

North Korea is observing Daming, and Daming is also observing here. Although the Feilu is relatively old among the ships and its artillery is not the most powerful, it is the first artillery ship of the Sanjiang Fleet. The commanders like to use this ship as their flagship, and the ship's building has also been modified to make it more suitable for observation and command.

No one cares about the Japanese pirates' ship. In the eyes of the Sanjiang Fleet, that person is just a sheep waiting to be slaughtered. No one cares about the sinking ship, because he is much weaker than the Daming Navy and the Sanjiang Fleet. On the contrary, everyone in the North Korean navy was staring there.

Seeing the tortoise boat and the wooden houseboat lowering their sails, Juan muttered something in Portuguese, and then said with a smile:

"I really didn't expect to see warships of Mediterranean warfare in the east."

Everyone around also knows that the Mediterranean Sea is a piece of sea in Europe. Because it is surrounded by several continents, the sea surface is very calm and there are very few storms.

The so-called Mediterranean method of warfare is the method used by the fleets of several Italian cities and republics. It is very stable, very large ships, equipped with a large number of artillery, and then the maneuvers during the battle are all operated by manpower oars. To put it bluntly, it is a Move the stance of forts and forts.

Bulky is not a good description, but such a ship can be equipped with larger-caliber and longer-range cannons because of its stability in offshore operations, and it is huge, so it has a greater advantage in collisions, and because it is stable, it can carry more infantry. Pawns can make infantry more suitable for sea combat.

At some point, such warships were also the overlords of the sea. It wasn't until the appearance of Galen ships and Clark ships that they could also be built larger, more maneuverable, and capable of sailing oceans, which gradually eliminated the original ones. Juan didn't expect to see a large ship near the sea.

The ships of the North Korean navy made everyone sigh. What everyone didn't expect was that Shen Wang's fleet did not escape, but actually came up like this.

"It's so determined to hang out with the devils, I thought they were either running or surrendering!"

Someone cursed in a low voice, the boats of the Daming Navy had already gone up to meet them, the turtle boats and wooden boats over there collided with the Japanese pirate boats, and then set fire to the arrows, it was really majestic.After the Cantonese boats without much artillery shot at each other, they dodged and collided with each other, and when they got close, they jumped to fight with knives.

Compared with this kind of wonderful battle, the competition between gunboats is very boring. Both sides are changing formations at sea, trying to seize the upper hand.

The fleet stretched slowly while changing formation, and the gun windows were all open. The officers in the cabin were there cursing loudly and urging the soldiers to load ammunition, and the sailors on the ship were nervously changing the sails and manipulating the steering wheel. , the captain is staring at the signal of the flagship.

Going back and forth, getting closer to each other, and finally getting close enough, there is thunder on the sea
Yi Sun-sin, who was watching the battle there, trembled, and could see white smoke suddenly filling the space between the two fleets, and on the other side of the fleet, countless jets of water could be seen exploding.

The white smoke hadn't dissipated much, and the dilapidated state of Shen Wang's fleet could already be seen. Many ships' masts had been broken, and some ships had already begun to sink.

The fleet of the Daming Navy could be seen changing formation again, but this time Shen Wang's fleet had no resistance and simply raised the white flag.

Compared with such a simple and boring battle, the Daming Navy is much more exciting. The tactics and coordination of the navy trained by Chen Lin are much superior to that of the Shen Wang Fleet and the Japanese pirates. As time goes on, the advantages become bigger and bigger , Shen Wang's fleet wanted to leave the battlefield, but they were always trapped by the Daming Navy's fleet, and then they were eaten and continued to pursue.

"My lord, another Japanese pirate ship has been crashed!"

There was cheers on the turtle ship where Li Sunshin was on. Their fight was going smoothly, and the Japanese pirates were fighting to the death, but they were far behind in terms of equipment and fighting spirit, and the alliance that the Japanese pirates could count on had also been defeated. Their end is to be annihilated.

At this time, the North Korean navy also wanted to bid farewell to the Daemyung navy, each of them bravely took the lead, and the cheers and announcements of the results continued to reach Yi Sun-shin's ears, but Yi Sun-shin was not happy.
