The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 392

As Ruan Jin waved the flag on the boat, he and the three remaining warships around him turned around together.Two of the sentinel boats stuck close to the Jianlu warships that came to intercept Ruan Jin, fired iron hooks and chains from cannons to narrow the distance between the two ships, and quickly set up several springboards.

Then an officer shouted, and the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army immediately drew their knives and climbed up the springboard to rush towards the enemy ship.

Ruan Jin and another small boat avoided the Jianlu boat at the front, and rushed towards the tallest Niu Bin by boat.

Niu Bin didn't expect that Ruan Jin would suddenly turn around and try his best. Seeing that the torches on his boat were ready to die at any time, he hurriedly ordered to evade, and the artillery fire also slowed down.

It's just that Ruan Jin is heading northwest at this time, but there is some headwind, and the speed cannot be raised at all.

When he was only two hundred steps away from the enemy ship, Niu Bin's fleet had gathered into two formations and separated.Ruan Jin didn't have time to turn, and rushed into the gap between the two enemy ships.

For a while, the guns and guns were in full swing, and the Qing warships kept adjusting their direction, keeping the heavy artillery at the bow always pointing at the two warships caught in the double-team.

In just a moment, Ruan Jin was shot four times in the boat.Fortunately, he was lucky, most of the shells hit the side of the ship, and he turned the rudder desperately, just trying to stick an enemy ship on fire before being sunk.

But at the next moment, he only felt a light in his hand, and the hull immediately veered uncontrollably to the right.An officer with blood on his face stumbled over and said anxiously, "General, the rudder of the ship has been shot..."

Ruan Jin let out a miserly laugh, let go of the rudder with a sigh of relief, and then sat down on the ground, the sound of the rumbling guns in his ears seemed to have gradually faded away.

He raised his hand and handed the saber to the officer, and said in a hoarse voice: "It must be Jianlu who is very lucky, so I can't go against God's will.

"Oh—come on, give me a good time."

"General..."

The officer burst into tears, but his hand holding the knife kept shaking.

"Lu Sier, do it!"

Na Lu Si closed his eyes and clenched the saber tightly. He raised his eyes halfway up, but suddenly opened his eyes again, wondering: "General, why do I think the sound of the cannon is weak?"

"It must be the captives who want to join the gang to seize the ship!" Ruan Jin stood up and shouted sharply, "Order to set the ship on fire! Hurry up!"

"Follow orders!" Lu Si hurriedly rushed out of the rudder cabin, but when he raised his eyes, he was taken aback for a moment, then retreated immediately, and said with a happy face, "General, the enemy ship has retreated!"

"What?" Ruan Jin ran up to the deck and looked up, and saw nearly thirty Qing warships with full sails, barely gathered into a triangular formation, and were desperately turning to the northwest.

The enemy ship is trying to gain the upper hand.He was familiar with water battles, so he immediately made a judgment that there must be something moving in the north.

He climbed up to the watchtower in twos and twos, and he saw tall masts lined up on the sea surface on the northeast side, with strange white cloth sails hanging on them, leading the few large ships that looked like thousands of materials.

"Could it be the Fujian navy?" Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned to Lu Si and said, "Hurry up and warn the people from Fujian, the main force of Jianlu is nearby, and you must not be entangled here!"

Naval battles in this era usually take a lot of time, especially those in the east.Because the Junk ship is equipped with few artillery pieces, but the hull has a watertight compartment structure that is difficult to sink, it takes a whole day to fight any battle, and it often takes arson or gang jumping to end the battle.

Last night, Gaha's two hundred warships bombarded Ruan Jin's twenty boats for a long time, and finally allowed him to escape fifteen boats, which can be seen from this.
