The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 211
But the artillery fire was still erupting, Chen Dajiang remained calm and said to himself: "Why hasn't Li Hong's turtle fleet appeared yet?"

At this moment, there was also the sound of rapid shelling from the northeast.

Chen Dajiang was taken aback when he heard the sound of the guns. At this time, there were only ten Ganzhi-class cruisers in the northeast direction. Hearing the sound of the guns, it must be his own artillery that was firing.

Does Li Hong want to escape?
"Northeast direction, let's go."

Seal One immediately turned its rudder and headed northeast, while the other [-] cruisers hurriedly followed.

Jiang Feng received the scouting report from the watchman, and the flagship of the Black Dragon Fleet was sailing to the right. His heart moved, he stopped paying attention to the fleeing wooden boats, turned the rudder, and followed Chen Dajiang's warships.

There was nowhere for these houseboats to escape anyway.

The ten Seal-class cruisers led by Gan Zhi have already encountered trouble.

He fired at a distance of a thousand meters, just to remind the main force of the Black Dragon Fleet.

The 240 cannons can achieve something every salvo. After all, the North Korean navy on the opposite side swarms over the sky, but the turtle ships of the enemy ships are also mixed in. The key turtle ships are faster and more flexible than seals in a short distance. Class cruiser, once they rush to the front of the Seal class cruiser and fire their guns, the consequences will be disastrous.

Seeing only 400 meters away.

Gan Zhi was in a cold sweat, thinking of Chen Dajiang's instructions, he stopped resisting, and hurriedly ordered the flagships under his command to hide in the deep sea. During this period, the ships fired when they had the opportunity, which severely damaged some of the wooden boats.

Li Hong, the commander of the North Korean Navy, hesitated for a while. He did not expect the firepower of the Black Dragon Fleet to be so fast. At this moment, more than ten wooden boats were sunk. No wonder the Black Dragon Fleet was able to defeat the Zheng Fleet, which dominated East Asia.

But the opponent only has ten ships, should they concentrate their main force to swallow them?

Li Hong finally sighed when he thought of the ammunition reserves on the turtle boat, and Jeju Island was not far from the Japanese pirates, so he had to guard against the Japanese pirates' attack, so he had better go to Jeju Island to build fortifications earlier.

He decisively left thirty wooden houseboats to try to entangle him. After he left, those thirty wooden houseboats were bombarded at close range and surrendered directly. There is no place to vent.

The main force of the North Korean navy still fled, and all the navy generals were furious. They thought they had encountered a tough guy, but they didn't expect to be a coward.

If the North Korean navy is not removed, the faces of the soldiers of the Black Dragon Fleet will be dull, and it will cause political instability in North Korea.

"General, it's better to mobilize another fifty cruisers to crush the opponent with absolute firepower." Jiang Feng suggested loudly.

"No, it's too late. Just these sixty cruisers. I don't believe in this evil. The speed of the long-distance voyage is not as good as ours. Let's set off now, maybe we can catch up with the other party." Chen Dajiang shouted angrily, saying yes The navy that defeated North Korea in half a month was defeated in half a month. When the navy was angry, the ship was destroyed and people died.

They originally wanted to remove the weapons from the seized North Korean wooden houseboats and sell them to merchants in the inland. The turtle ships were used as frigates in the inland of the empire, but it seems that this is a waste of time.

"As ordered!"

In the afternoon of the next day, the Black Dragon Fleet really caught up with Li Hong's navy.

Li Hong was taken aback. At this moment, the situation did not allow him to escape, so he had to defeat the other party and negotiate.

More than a hundred plank boats and turtle boats immediately turned their bows and fought with all their strength.

The Black Dragon Fleet is divided into two teams, one with thirty Seal-class cruisers, one lined up horizontally, and the other lined up vertically. The entire Black Dragon Fleet becomes two sides of a triangle, just wrapping the North Korean navy in it. The North Korean Navy has a coastline on one side and a sea route leading to Jeju Island on the other.

In this way, the vertical battleship and the opponent's battleship form a parallel line, and can chase the opponent at any time,
Chen Dajiang was enraged this time, and decided to destroy the North Korean navy at all costs to deter the North Korean government. In fact, he knew that damage would not be avoided in this way, but there were too many warships on the other side.

dong dong dong...

When the Korean warship approached 400 meters, 1440 cannons of the Black Dragon Fleet fired out in a very short time. Due to the short distance, the rain of shells hit the fragile wooden boat immediately to pieces.

Only one round of salvo sank more than [-] hut boats, but the turtle boats hidden in the husk fleet were indeed extraordinary, and they were not sunk. .

But the first ones approached were the remaining dozens of hut boats, and the swarming husk boats started to shoot rockets. Arrows carrying oil paper hit the cruise ship's hull, deck, cables, and sails, causing an immediate sensation. fire.Fortunately, the exterior of the battleship is covered with iron sheets, so the hull will not be a big problem at that time.

The captains of the ships mobilized their deck manpower to fight and extinguish the fire under the rain of arrows. For a while, many sailors were shot with arrows, but the sailors were wearing combat vests, so the casualties were not serious.

At this time, the nearest enemy ship has rushed 50 meters in front of the Black Dragon Fleet, and each ship has just loaded its ammunition and adjusted its firing range.

dong dong dong...

At such a close distance, the Black Dragon Fleet fired another round of salvo. At this time, the hit rate was greatly improved, reaching a terrifying 40.00%.

That is to say, at least [-] shells hit the opponent, and only this round of salvo caused most of the houseboats to sink one after another, splashing blood, directly staining the sea area red, and even the seven turtle boats close to the Black Dragon Fleet were also killed. The powerful iron bullet tore through the armor, and the sea water poured in, sinking at a high speed.

Li Hong was dumbfounded, but he was no longer able to control the situation of the battle.

The remaining [-] or so turtle boats rushed towards them at a faster speed as if stimulated.

With a bang, the iron ram in front of a turtle ship hit the middle of the port side of Seal No. 31.Violent impact.Make the two ships stick together.The huge inertia caused the turtle ship's spikes to break instantly, and at the same time, a hole more than one meter wide was torn on the port side of the Seal No. 31 cruise ship.

Since the turtle boat used to be a small boat targeting Japanese pirates with a small tonnage, this tactic has been tried and tested, but it is different now.What hit was a cruiser weighing [-] tons, and its displacement was even [-] tons. The two were not of the same weight class at all.

The bow of the turtle ship with a displacement of less than [-] tons also cracked a huge hole, and the sea water poured back.The ballista that was about to shoot kerosene went out suddenly, and even the sailors in the cabin who were about to fire were washed away by the swarming sea water.

The attack that was supposed to be a sure win turned into a suicide attack.This made Li Hong suddenly sober.The opponent's warships are not as easy to deal with as the small ships of the Japanese pirates.

The turtle ship that hit Seal No. 31 had already begun to sink, and the soldiers inside sank to the bottom of the sea with the turtle ship before they could escape, and all died in battle.

On the contrary, the SEAL 31 cruiser had no major problems, but the sea water poured back, and the hull tilted a little. To be on the safe side, the captain played a semaphore that the ship lost its combat effectiveness and quit the battle sequence.

Chen Dajiang was relieved. At this time, the numerical advantage of the North Korean navy had been offset. The victory over the opponent was a foregone conclusion, and it was only a matter of damage.

Immediately afterwards, three more turtle ships chose suicide attacks, but unfortunately they all received the same treatment.

The rest of the Turtle Ships realized that they just approached and shot or set fire, trying to smash the Black Dragon Fleet with artillery. Although the Seal-class cruiser was also wrapped in iron, it still couldn't stop such close-range shooting.

More than a dozen cruisers were shot one after another, but at such a short distance, the shells could only hit the part above the waterline of the Seal-class cruiser, but not below the waterline.

The iron sheet covering the hull was torn apart, and a burst of sawdust flew, stabbing many sailors and gunners on the battleship, and some soldiers were directly shot.

SEAL 27 also suffered a horrific suicide bombing.

The sailors on the deck also fought back with muskets and thunderbolts, but the effect was not obvious.

Chen Dajiang clenched his fists, almost biting his gums, but at this moment the cruiser couldn't dodge the flexible turtle boat, so he had to wait, as long as his side loaded the ammunition and fired a round of shelling, the opponent would be finished.

At this time, the two sides are like two musketeers close together, whoever fires first will take advantage.

dong dong dong...

The third round of salvo of the Black Dragon Fleet began.

Thousands of shells smashed directly at the turtle boat within a hundred meters with angry flames.

Almost every turtle boat was hit by dozens of iron bullets.

The extremely hot shells immediately aroused misty rain in the sky.Dozens of shells easily broke open the tortoise shell of the turtle boat, and immediately ignited the gunpowder piled under the tortoise shell.

There were more than ten rumbling sounds, and more than ten turtle boats exploded. Dazzling flames spewed out from the gap above the turtle's shell, and immediately turned into a huge mushroom cloud and shot straight into the sky, gradually melting into the gray sky. In the black smoke.

The remaining dozen or so turtle boats were also riddled with holes, with dozens of holes in the shell of the turtles, and most of the sailors on board were lost.

The rest of the turtle boats were immediately stunned. Li Hong's lips moved slightly, and he was speechless for a long time. He knew that at this time, he could not escape, nor could he fight.

The lieutenant beside him said disgruntledly: "The general should withdraw, we have failed."

"Can you escape? At this moment, there is only a desperate resistance. History will remember this moment, pass on the order, and fight to the death." Li Hong said in a daze.

"Yes!" The lieutenant general sighed, and jumped into the sea while no one was paying attention...

Forty years later, except for this lieutenant who escaped by chance and kept his name anonymous, no one in the North Korean Protectorate knew that this naval battle had taken place.

The naval battle was still going on, and seeing that they were invincible, five turtle boats escaped on the spot, and only eight turtle boats were still fighting back, including Li Hong's flagship.

But the Black Dragon Fleet also changed their tactics to guerrilla attacks. Anyway, the long-range speed of the turtle boats was not as good as that of the seal-class cruisers, so they were not afraid of them running away.

After the turtle boat shelled a round, before the ammunition was loaded, the third round of salvo by the Black Dragon Fleet had already begun.

dong dong dong...

The huge tortoise shell could no longer withstand the tearing force of the huge force, it flew into the air in pieces, and splashed down to the surrounding sea.Li Hong, who was on the flagship of the Turtle Ship, was killed instantly along with dozens of remaining North Korean sailors. Their bodies were swept into the air by the huge air waves, and their limbs and arms were thrown into the sea.

Suddenly, apart from the fleeing enemy ships, there was only one turtle ship floating in the sea.

Before the Black Dragon Fleet fired its fourth volley, the turtle ship suddenly split apart and sank immediately.

"Ling Ganzhi led thirty warships to pursue the remnants of the enemy, leaving no prisoners, and killing them all!"

Chen Dajiang wiped off his sweat, and he was still a little scared until now. In this battle, his side sank two seal-class cruisers, and there are more than ten ships that need major repairs. The other ships have more or less left bullet marks, arrows The arrows and stones, as well as the sails of several warships were all burned up. It can be said that the loss was heavy. I really don't know how to report to the prince.

He also secretly blamed himself, he shouldn't be impulsive, if he grinds slowly, maybe he will lose less.

But to be honest, these Koreans were really tough, and most of them fought to the end. Chen Dajiang had a sullen face, and this time he wanted to claim compensation from the Korean Kingdom, otherwise the navy would not be able to say so.
