Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

From the time the weapon is launched to the time it explodes on the ground, it takes about thirty seconds! [Ahem, I wrote that wrong before]

This means that the gunner must be able to predict the position of the enemy ship thirty seconds later!

In this case, three out of ten can be considered strength, and five out of ten must be luck...

But Yang Qi......

But this beast can do it eight out of ten times!

This was also the reason why Zheng Zhilong sent the two of them to act as bait.

Even if the attempt to lure the enemy fails, Yang Qi's ability in firing can ensure a safe retreat.

On the galleon in the distance, Shimazu Tadahiro watched a ship being sunk with his own eyes, but still didn't think there was anything wrong.

It was just a small boat with six people on board, so it sank.

Perhaps a cannonball had hit a barrel of kerosene, an uncommon but inevitable occurrence in naval battles.

But soon!

A scene that frightened him happened!

Yang Qi did not stop, and did not even look at the result of the second shot, before giving the order to fire again.

One shell after another was fired, and it only took him about thirty seconds to aim each time.

This period of time is enough for the two deputies to prepare for shooting.

Boom, boom, boom, boom......

The rhythmic sound of artillery fire continued to ring out.

What followed were balls of fire rising from the Japanese ships!

"Yamete......."

"Yamete......."

"Help, help me......"

If it was a solid shell, they could still struggle.

But if hit by a mortar, the wooden boat will catch fire...

On the hit Japanese ship, the Japanese soldiers had only one choice, which was to jump into the sea to survive!

"hold head high......"

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the sea.

Yang Liu put down his flintlock, leaned his head out from the side of the ship, and scanned the sea, but then he grinned.

"Fuck, shark!"

“And the killer whales….”

"Now it's fun!"

Not far away, a group of killer whales and a group of tiger sharks are approaching this side quickly!

The killer whale Yang Liu mentioned is actually the killer whale!

When the Japanese soldiers who fell into the sea saw the tiger sharks coming, they were so scared that they peed their pants on the spot.

Most of these people had wounds caused by the explosion. Under the temptation of the smell of blood, the tiger sharks that were perhaps just passing by instantly changed direction.

He even forgot about the fact that there was a group of people behind him who should be scavenging!

Yang Qi didn't stop.

The sound of artillery fire continued.

The Japanese soldiers who fell into the water couldn't stop even if they wanted to...

When the killer whales and tiger sharks arrived near the battlefield, they stopped cautiously at first.

But when they confirmed that the rumbling of artillery and explosions would not cause any harm to them, the scene on the battlefield began to become weird!

Driven by hunger, the tiger shark opened its bloody mouth towards the Japanese soldiers.

But the killer whale stretched its head towards the Japanese soldiers and then shook it hard.

Snapped!

The Japanese soldier who was hit flew directly out of the sea, and then fell back into the sea with a bang.

Seeing this, the other killer whales also found their own targets.

On the sea, Japanese soldiers flew up and down, flew up and down...

Shimazu Tadahiro on Galen's ship finally realized that something was wrong!

The sound of artillery fire from the Ming army was rare, but after almost every artillery fire, there would always be a ship hit by bullets...

In just over ten minutes, nearly twenty ships were hit and damaged.

Seven of them have sunk to the bottom of the sea, leaving only some broken planks floating on the sea, proving that they once existed!

In addition, at this moment, Japanese soldiers were swallowed by tiger sharks like snacks from time to time, and he could no longer maintain his previous calmness.

"fire!"

"fire!"

"fire!"

He repeated the order with bloodshot eyes.

He no longer cared whether he could bring the blessed ships back intact.

In this situation, the most important thing is to ensure that your strength will not be damaged too much.

Even if those Fu ships were damaged, the worst that could happen was that they could be towed back for repairs.

But......

At this moment, a warrior on the deck suddenly pointed into the distance with a look of horror and shouted.

"Sir! A Ming ship!"

"So many Ming ships!"

Chapter 556 Go back and get someone who can understand

sunset.

The South China Sea Fleet, which consisted of eighty-five Fujian ships, one hundred and forty Guangdong ships, two hundred and forty Haicang ships, and a full four hundred shuttle boats, had unknowingly circled around the back of Hei Dao!

Including the twenty Fu ships led by Yang Liu and Yang Qienian, there are a total of 865 warships!

This is the first time that such a large-scale cluster of warships has appeared in this era.

All the warships were spread out and surrounded the entire battlefield from the outside.

"Damn it, there's an ambush!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Seeing this scene, Shimazu Tadahiro panicked instantly and gave orders hurriedly.

"Send out the fire ships to tear open a hole in the encirclement!"

"Go!"

As the order was given, the Japanese ships that were fighting with Yang Liu and Yang Qi in the front began to retreat.

The two brothers did not chase after them, but just grinned and stood side by side on the side of the boat and laughed.

Their mission has been completed, and the rest will naturally be done by others.

The Japanese ships assembled smoothly.

Then dozens of small boats rushed towards the encirclement in the east.

There, it’s the direction back to Kagoshima!

The wooden barrels on the boat had been opened and were filled with flammable tung oil.

The Japanese soldiers on the ship also lit torches, ready to set fire to the ship at any time.

Using small boats to set fire to the enemy's large ships is a common tactic in naval battles.

But before they could get close, the sound of artillery fire suddenly came from the Ming army's shuttle boats!

It's a mortar!

When Zhu Youxiao went south, the fifty mortars carried by the Shenjiying were all left to the South China Sea Navy.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong revealed all of them!

The rumbling sound of artillery fire continued.

After a round of shelling, seven or eight ships turned into torches on the sea.

Then, the second round, the third round......

Shimazu Tadahiro on Galen's ship was stunned!

He had made his guess as early as when Yang Qi launched continuous bombardment.

Now, his guess has been further confirmed!

"This is impossible!"

"How come they have so many of these explosive shells?!"

According to his understanding, such shells must be very expensive.

But judging from the Ming army's unrestrained bombardment, they didn't seem to care about the shells at all...

When did the Ming people's navy become so powerful? !

In just a few minutes, most of the fireships he sent out were hit by cannonballs.

If the precision is not enough, make up for it with quantity!

This is the clear instruction from Zhu Youxiao to Zheng Zhilong!

Seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller and the evacuation route was completely blocked, Shimazu Tadahiro was so anxious that he was jumping up and down.

"idiot!"

"Who can tell me where these Ming ships came from?"

"What deep hatred does the Shimazu family have with them?"

He paced on the deck like an ant on hot pot.

When all the fire ships he sent out were stabilized, a warrior suddenly pointed to the sea ahead and said.

"Master, there is a small boat coming..."

"Ok?"

This sentence finally eased Shimazu Tadahiro's almost collapsed mentality.

The fact that the Ming people were willing to send an envoy here shows that there is still room for things to turn around.

"Quick, send someone over to ask them what they want to do!"

"Go there yourself!"

"If you can't get Akito to let us go, then you can just commit seppuku!"

"Hai!"

Although the warrior was very reluctant, he had no choice but to follow the order.

He waved for a small boat, jumped on it, and headed towards the oncoming ship.

Not far away, Zheng Zhibao stood at the bow of the shuttle boat, looking at the Japanese ship sailing towards him, with endless heroism rising in his heart.

The samurai sent by Shimazu Tadahiro didn't make him wait too long and soon came up to him.

Faced with Zheng Zhibao's indifference, he could only introduce himself.
