Chapter 834: The wind is strong and urgent, Yang Fanwei is all over the world (5)

The Ponu Army, which was pursuing the Japanese naval navy, was much faster than the Japanese warships. They also sailed with wind and hung up the sails in the second half of the night to carry out full speed to pursue the battle. At this time, even if the Japanese fleet discovered the pursuit of the Ponu Army, it was impossible for them to return to the port to avoid the war. The latest news of Zhang Sen's fleet was conveyed through the sentry ship. Zhang Sen and others had already attracted the main fleet of the Japanese navy to the outside seas. At this time, even if the Japanese fleet wanted to go back, it would take more than a day to return to the nearshore of the Japanese navy they were familiar with. The Ponu Army Navy had many battles with the Japanese navy. They knew that the Japanese navy would not use their hands to navigate the sails when sailing at night. In this way, the Japanese navy would not take more than forty miles in one night. Zhang Leshan considered this factor when calculating the speed of the Japanese navy. When he arrived at the "Zhenyuan" main gunship, he hung a full light on the front mast on the main gunship ship. This was a signal that the entire army would attack with full sails.

The cold wind hits the sea in the east of Japan, and the Milky Way light belt in the sky is vast and ethereal. The Japanese navy and helmsman who are on the verge of time have no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world. Their thin clothes cannot withstand the gust of wind. It will be dawn in more than an hour. No war has happened overnight and the fatigue of the day has caused most Japanese sailors to fall asleep. A Japanese sailor Kobayashi Haruyama, a closed boat, looked behind him accidentally. In the darkness of the moon and the sky, the stars appear and disappear on the sea. Occasionally, you can see slowly moving stars looming in the north. Kobayashi Haruyama also thinks he is very lucky to be able to load supplies behind the fleet without having to go to the front line to fight the vicious Pou Nu Army Navy.

Kobayashi Chunshan noticed the moving stars in the north. At first, he thought he was confused. After about half an hour, the moving little stars became more and more. This aroused Kobayashi Chunshan's alertness. He was still not sure what these moving stars were. After half an hour, Kobayashi Chunshan became more and more wrong. How did the stars approach the Japanese fleet? The sunshine in the East China Sea came earlier than the coast of the Ming Dynasty. With the help of the faint morning light, Kobayashi Chunshan finally saw a large number of black figures of warships. No need to look further, this must be the main navy of the Po Slave Army quietly approaching the Japanese fleet.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Kobayashi Haruyama stumbled back into the owner's cabin and called the police to his team. In less than half a stick of incense, "Clang! Clang! Clang!" The shrill sound of a gong sounded at the back of the Japanese fleet, and hundreds of warships gathered together were immediately panicked. The Japanese navy leader Yokoyama Jin rushed to the top of the Nobunaga iron armored ship. The rising sun was like blood on the sea surface, and the black sails were like clouds in the distance, and the yellow hull pointed bow was not the Posou Army warship plowing the water surface. Especially the chubby ship with the pointed tip of the monk warship was undulating in the waves, hundreds of dolphins were playing happily with the help of the huge bows. From a distance, it looked like a tiger in the jungle and a bunch of evil wolves rushed towards the prey.

It is more difficult to adjust the fleet formation on the sea surface than on land, especially Yokoyama Jin wanted to adjust the fire ships in the southeast to the north, and the fire ships at the downwind had to intersperse through the entire fleet. It is because the Japanese fleet was too close to the warships, and if the fire ships were not well arranged, they would likely hit other ships. Unfortunately, Yokoyama Jin could only order the fire ships to march north along the periphery of the fleet, and the fleets turned around to fight the Posou Navy. The Japanese navy leader, Yokoyama Jin, had the order to temporarily change the formation, seemed to be a good adjustment strategy, but in fact there were great hidden dangers in the secret.

The main warships of the Japanese fleet attack were all southwest, and almost all supply ships loaded with grain and fresh water in the rear. The combat power was divided into different levels. More than 500 Japanese warships were distributed on the sea surface of nearly 50 miles wide. The direction of the attack of the Posses Army was the upper end. Before the naval battle was started, the naval commander of the Navy Army was firmly at the upper end. Yang Qiantu, the navy commander who was commanding on the "Zhenyuan" gunship, couldn't help but sigh that a small octagon could withstand the fleet led by two Shangzi warships. No wonder Zhang Dashe regarded this instrument as a treasure. Yang Qiantu was still sighing, and Zhang Leshan, the officer of the Thousand General who operated the instrument, occupied Yang Qiantu's cabin to sleep in. Yang Qiantu sat on the top of the rudder cabin. There was a fixed high-power telescope copper stand in front of him, and a newly installed telescope was placed on it.

This four-foot-long telescope with a lens of half a foot wide allows Yang Qiantu to easily see any movements of the enemy dozens of miles away. In particular, this telescope can adjust the observation distance, which can be said to be another weapon in the naval battle. The Japanese king will mobilize the military adjustment of the northward movement of the fire ship. Yang Qiantu can see it clearly. He can order the captain of the "Pingrong" who has just been transferred back to the main fleet, Yao Yucong, to lead six sentry ships to attack the Japanese fire ship. Dai, the captain of the "Pingshan"

Yushan led three gunships to respond behind the "Pingrong" fleet. Yang Chunhe, the captain of Shangde, led the "Pingdao", and the "Pingning" gunship was escorted by ten sentry ships and waited for Yao Yucong to eliminate the enemy fire ships first. The captain of the "Shangwu" Gu Chunfeng led the "Pinglu", "Pingshan", "Pingyang" and eleven sentry ships, as the second wave of attacking the west side of the enemy fleet.

In order to prevent the Japanese fleet from retreating to the coast of Japan, Commander Yang Qiantu issued an order, and Cheng Yuchen, the captain of the "Pingbo" cruising on the west side of the Japanese fleet, with the cooperation of the two gunships of "Pingsha", must make a warship in Japan flee back to the island of Japan. Yang Qiantu's order was soon reached by Flag Language's troops, and the formation of the Bonus Army's fleet was flexible. As long as the commander Yang Qiantu designated a main general of the attack fleet, the warship would raise the flag of the main general. Naval battle was not as simple as land warfare. Commander Yang Qiantu designated the main general of the attack fleet according to the location of these main warships. Yang Qiantu's principle was to make the convenience of attack as the first element, and all the mobilized warships were near the designated main general.

Mobilizing troops in this way is to save time, and the other is to quickly form a formation to facilitate rapid naval battles. Yao Yucong, the captain of the "Pingrong" warship, whose warships are in the southeast of the entire Ponus Navy Navy formation. As long as they hang sails and attack at full speed, they will definitely annihilate the Japanese fire ships before they are in place. The "Pingrong" warships of the Ponus Army lead the team to attack, and the six whistle ships lined up in a long snake formation as usual to rush towards the outside fire ships of Japan from northeast to south. At this time, thirty faster small boats rushed out of the Japanese ship formation, and they first rushed towards the "Pingrong" fleet of the Ponus Army. The oars stretched out on both sides of the little boats, like centipede legs crawling between the waves, leaving white ship traces behind them.

Su Chengwu, the deputy general manager of the whistle, ignored these small boats. His goal was very clear, that was the fireboat behind the whistle. Su Chengwu was also a veteran of naval battles. He used the fast speed of the whistle ship, no matter how the archers on the whistle ship shot rockets at his warship to rush straight toward the Japanese fireboat. In order to reduce the impact of the rockets on the ship, Su Chengwu mobilized thirty people on the ship to suppress the Japanese archers on the whistle ship with muskets. For a moment, the sound of rockets flying on the sea surface was constantly sounded, and the whistle ship where Su Chengwu was located was besieged by six small boats. Facing this tactic of ants gnawing elephants, Su Chengwu did not change his determination to open a path for the rear team.

Crushing the enemy ship, the guns on the left side of the ship attack the enemy ship, leaving the starboard cannon to stand by. Su Chengwu was wearing new naval armor, standing in front of the helmsman, standing close to the railing, holding a telescope in his hand to calmly command the ship to collide with a Japanese ship. His ears were filled with arrows flying with fire heads. The sailors used muskets to fight off the flames on the rockets with sand and soil. Although the protective power of the Po Slave Army standard armor is strong, it is easy to catch fire. The Navy began to fully change into new armor last year. This armor was forged with steel sheets and attached to leather armor, and was lined with tight cotton armor. Although the protection power was not as good as that of the Po Slave Army standard armor, for the navy soldiers, the armor that was not easy to catch fire was also a necessary compromise for the protection.

The death and injury of the ship was inevitable among the flying arrows. Three rockets shot Su Chengwu's upper body. Although the rocket did not shoot Su Chengwu's armor and the rocket burned Su Chengwu's eyebrows and beard, the rocket was extremely fragile after the rocket burned. It was broken with a slight pull, which made Su Chengwu not have time to get the arrow. He just wiped out the flames with the help of the staff. Many sailors on the whistle were shot in the back by the rockets, and they did not dare to roll on the boat.

The sailors who could not bear the fire chose to jump into the sea to put out the fire. The sea was cold in spring. Although the people fell into the sea and wiped out the flames on their backs, they were quickly frozen by the sea. With the weight of their armor, the sailors of the Po Slave Army who jumped out of the sea could not be exposed to the water again. The war entered a critical moment, and even the comrades who were together day and night only focused on extinguishing the big flames on the ship. These brothers who jumped into the sea naturally failed to receive timely rescue.

Although the war ships were seriously damaged, Su Chengwu still had only the enemy's fire ships in his eyes. After experiencing a painful test, the ships crushed a Japanese small early ship and finally approached the Japanese fire ships. Of course, the fire ships that were fighting dangerous cannot be forced. Su Chengwu saw a fire on the high places of his masts. Fortunately, he used his sacrifice to open a path for the rear ship. So Su Chengwu asked the flag bearer to send a message to the deputy general of the rear ship, Qu Haitao, that the ship would evacuate the battlefield and put out the fire and the rear ships would take over the attack. At this moment, Su Cheng
