Chapter 254 Clippers
Deng Hai is actually taking risks when attacking the Japanese fleet. The only thing that the Japanese can pose a threat to the Seawolf warship is the only fire ship except for jumping gangs to fight hand-to-hand combat.
As for the large tubes they blow into the sky, they are not even as good as the smallest artillery artillery of the Jingbei Army, and even if they get a few shots, it will be harmless.
Deng Hai ordered a raid on the Japanese fleet, and what he feared most was to be entangled by fire ships. One or two fire ships were not scary, and the sea wolf warship could still be removed. Once surrounded by many fire ships, even if the sea wolf warship was excellent, it would be burned to ashes.
Fortunately, this raid did not encounter fire ships. The Japanese counterattack left several large holes on the sails, and were hit by shells on the side, and several ship boards were broken.
Such injuries are nothing to the Seawolf Warship, but Deng Hai cannot be happy.
The Japanese were not even prepared for fire ships. The Japanese ships that rushed up were light and had few sailors, and they did not lean on them to jump to the gang. This all confirmed his conjecture.
The Japanese came to entangle them, and there must be more Japanese ships lying in ambush. Thinking of this, Deng Hai no longer hesitated and immediately spread news to the other warships.
...
A sea wolf warship made the hundred and ten warships he sent were in a hurry, and Kuroda officers and soldiers felt a little dull.
"Baga! These wastes are a shame to the Great Japanese! The Ming people only had one warship, so why didn't they dare to hit them?
Where is your courage? Where is your loyalty?..." Kuroda officer and soldier Wei was furious and cursed at the battle ships ahead.
But he was only halfway through his words, and suddenly he stopped, staring at several turning boats on the sea, muttered a few words, and shouted loudly: "It's not close yet, why didn't the Ming people shoot? Could it be...!
Baga! When the Mingren was discovered, I immediately dispatched the Yaqi divine ship. I must not let the Mingren escape!"
"Sir! The scheduled time has not yet arrived, and the encirclement naval may not be in place..." The samurai said with a little hesitation when he heard the orders of Kuroda officer and Wei.
"Bastard! Great Japan has sacrificed so much, why are they still not in place? I don't care what they use. If the Ming people run away, they will just cut off their stomachs!" Kuroda officer and soldier Wei said sternly.
"Hi!"
The iron armored Anzha ship was watching the battle and the Japanese ships following behind began to accelerate and rushed towards the sea wolf warship that was about to leave.
Deng Hai was startled by the movements made by the Japanese and cursed: "Dog said to be Japanese! We have stabbed the hornet's nest. Japanese people have taken aphrodisiacs, why are they so fierce!"
Ji Gensheng said expressionlessly: "It's possible! Who made them born smaller!"
Deng Hai couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, patted Ji Gensheng's shoulder and said, "Haha! Gensheng! I didn't expect that you are serious on the surface, but you have a lot of fun in your heart!!"
Ji Gensheng's mouth twitched and said, "I'm talking about the figure of the Japanese!"
"I also talk about the Japanese figure, what do you think it is?"
Kie-soo: “…”
"Captain! News came from the brothers' warships that a large number of Japanese ships were found in the surrounding waters, so let's move closer to them!" Liu Chuan's roar came from the watchtower.
Deng Hai frowned after hearing this. The Japanese came too fast, how could it be so fast?
"Captain! The Japanese Clipper!" Liu Chuan's voice came again, and Deng Hai immediately picked up the telescope. When he saw clearly the Japanese fleet, Deng Hai's eyes could not help but narrowed.
In the originally slow Japanese fleet, there were many narrow and long fast ships in many places, which looked somewhat similar to the dragon boats in China, except that the bow of the ship was replaced with a strange snake.
Twenty oarsmen, one drummer and one helmsman were riding on the boat, and twenty oars were neatly paddled, pushing the clutch almost out of the sea.
After just a look, Deng Hai knew that the speed of the Sea Wolf Battleship could not be faster than that of such a fast ship. Looking at the long spikes in front of the boat, it would be difficult to get rid of it as long as it hits it.
"Hurry up! Let's leave! The Japanese cannot always maintain this speed. We only need to persist for half an hour!
The gunner continued to change shotguns, the soldiers went to the deck and shot the Japanese rowing boaters. Without the paddlers and other fast ships, they could not move!" Deng Hai did not set off, maintained a posture of observing the enemy situation and issued orders in an orderly manner.
The Sea Wolf Battleship quickly moved, all the sails spread out, splitting the sea and meeting with their companions in the distance. The soldiers wearing plate armor came to the deck, and pointed the musket in their hands at the approaching Clippers.
The Seawolf warship used less than four miles, and the narrow and long clutch caught up with it, and the stern guns were the first to fire.
"Boom!" A tongue of flame spurted out, and hundreds of lead bombs swept across the sea. The nearest Japanese ship was hit directly, and the Japanese ship was instantly beaten into a sieve.
In order to pursue speed, the Japanese built the Clippers very thinly. They had no protection ability at all, as long as they ensured that there was no leakage.
It is conceivable that the outcome of being swept by the shotgun was swept away. The Japanese on the ship had no chance of being spared. The blood stained the Clippers red, and their speed gradually slowed down and stopped moving.
Compared with the dozens of Clippers chasing behind him, a Clipper is nothing at all, and more and more Clippers are approaching the Sea Wolf Battleship.
Ji Gensheng waved his hand vigorously and ordered: "Fire!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Dozens of muskets fired at the same time, and another clutch screamed in tears. Most of the paddlers were killed instantly, and they could no longer chase the Shanghai Wolf Battleship.
"Onboard!" The Japanese on the Clippers were not scared by the casualties. They shouted slogans and rowed the oars desperately, and the distance was pulled in little by little.
Kuroda officer and soldier who were watching the battle from a distance nodded in satisfaction and said softly: "Yoxi! This is the samurai of my great Japanese country. With the Yaki Ship, the mere Mingren is no match at all!"
"Master Kuroda is wise! With you here, the Maki is vulnerable!"
""The lord should have let you take action earlier, so there will be no major defeat before!"
"With the leadership of Lord Kuroda, the lord will unify Japan and even land in the Ming Dynasty, achieving eternal achievements!"
...
Listening to his subordinates' flattery, Kuroda officer and soldier waved his hand proudly and said, "You are too much. Toyotomi Hideyoshi is the best person in the world. I am just here with him and I have learned some basics!"
He said humility, but I could personally hear the joy in Kuroda officer and Wei Wei's heart.
After boasting for a while, Kuroda officer and soldier looked up and said, "Let the Yaki-ji Ship entangle Akito and try to board the ship and fight on hand.
Do you understand what I want to do intact Mingren warships?"
"Hi!" The warrior agreed and immediately went down to pass the order.
...
"Captain! The other warships were entangled by the Japanese Clippers. Do we need to go over and rescue?" Liu Chuan's voice made Deng Hai's eyes leave the cliffs who were chasing him.
