? Volume 7 Killing Bian Le 0254 Flames of Fire
?The Hangzhou Bay navy was mobilized. After all, this was the first battle against the Japanese pirates since the reconstruction of the Daming Navy, and its political significance was far greater than the essence of the war itself. The official school, flag army, sailors, fire chiefs, civilian officers, helmsmen, and anchormen all took their positions, and the army braved the wind and waves and rushed to the sea area where Han Wu and Japanese pirate ships encountered.
Among the sailors, half of the former navy officers and soldiers, half of the newly recruited recruits, and a few Peng Fugui's confidantes were scattered on the warships.
At this time, Peng Fugui was also very anxious. The three warships that went to sea were led by Qianhu Hanwu, and the deputy Qianhu was his youngest son, Peng Xiaobao. This was the youngest son born to him by Mr. Peng's ninth concubine. Eight years old, although he has been influenced by his ears and eyes since he was a child, he has trained his skills in water with his father. After all, he has never led a soldier alone, let alone outnumbered?
Peng Fugui didn't easily provoke the Japanese pirates, and only when a small group of Japanese pirates were ordered, he would loot them. In order to avoid trouble, all the captured pirates were thrown into the sea and their corpses were wiped out. I don't know much about it either.
The blue sea stretches as far as the eye can see, the seagulls fly back to the blue sky, and more than 30 warships, centered on a No. 2 blessing boat, cut through the waves and sailed southeast. Three sentinel ships with three masts and three sails were at the forefront of the fleet and led the way.
Because the wind is blowing from the sea to the land at this time, the warship cannot travel in a straight line against the wind. It must move obliquely at a certain angle to take advantage of the wind and change directions in turn to go around the accident site. It's a bit of a taste of polar opposites.
On the handsome ship, the rotating helmsman concentrated on keeping the sun as the direction, correcting the ship's azimuth, and the fire chief used the starboard to measure and calculate the horizon latitude. The flag bearer kept raising and lowering various signal flags according to the order, commanding the entire fleet to steer, sail, adjust the cockpit, correct the course, and march in an orderly manner.
Yang Ling stood on the handsome boat, watching Zeng Shoubei and Peng Fugui continue to give various orders, and his heart was extremely anxious. Although the entire Hangzhou navy fleet has been dispatched, even if it is in danger, the handsome ship can be kept safe, but Yang Ling is an imperial envoy, and Gu Dayong and Bai Chongzan do not want to take risks, so they strongly oppose letting him go to sea with the ship.
Yang Ling also knew that it would be of no use if he went out to sea with the boat or not, but there were Youniang's second elder brother on the three ships, and Youniang and her brother were deeply in love with each other. If something happened to Han Wu, Youniang was pregnant again. The consequences are dire.
Moreover, this naval battle is of great significance. It is not only related to whether the lifting of the sea ban can be carried out smoothly, but others do not know, but Yang Ling knows that although the emperor fully supports it, the imperial court has already invested as much money as it can, and now it all depends on coastal merchants Raising funds to invest in shares, if the naval fleet suffers a serious blow to their confidence, they will withdraw funds and withdraw their shares to wait and see, I am afraid that the opposition forces of the government and the opposition will make a comeback.
So Yang Ling became ruthless. If Han Wu's three warships had been wiped out, he would use all his strength to defeat the Japanese pirates, so as to restore the passive political situation. If he was not on board to supervise the battle, it would be difficult to guarantee Whether the Hangzhou navy is willing to do its best, so Yang Ling insisted on going his own way, leaving Cheng Qiyun and others, Gu Dayong, Bai Chongzan and others to sit in the Chinese army and go out to sea with the ship.
The fleet turned again and approached the location of the martial arts performance. The nine-masted blessing boat accelerated with full sails, and the two vertical and six pointed-bottomed warships with seven masts and fourteen sails followed closely, and behind them, horse clippers and flat-bottomed sand boats also formed a battle team. shape.
The three sentinel ships were sailing far ahead, with excellent visibility in the clear sky. Standing at the bow of the ship, there was no sign of any ship on the blue waves. The bow, the railing overlooks.
The three sentinel ships in front obviously slowed down, and searched for the ships of both the enemy and us in a diffuse line.
"Peng Qianhu, is this water area? Why why is there no shadow of a boat?" Yang Ling said with a slightly trembling voice.
Seeing that there was no trace of the ship at sea, Peng Fugui felt relieved, and hurriedly said: "My lord, it's better if we can't find any traces. Maybe Han Qianhu has got rid of the Japanese boat. Let's search further."
When Yang Ling heard the words, he felt relieved, and at this moment someone shouted: "Look at the sea, there are planks on the sea."
Yang Ling, Zeng Shoubei, and Peng Qianhu hurried over when they heard the news, leaning on the ship's side and looking towards the sea, they saw a few broken planks brought by the undulating waves. The ship sank!"
Yang Ling's heart sank when he heard the words, Zeng Shou turned his head and shouted: "Slow down, half sail!"
Just at this moment, the surface of the water undulated faintly and a few more corpses were brought in. Several adults held their breath and stared at the faint figure in the water nervously.fire.
The enraged Japanese pirates extinguished the fire while yelling and driving the warship to forcibly approach. When they were only forty steps away, fire dragons sprayed out from the Ming warship. , more than a hundred 'flamethrowers' made the three Japanese ships whose sails were tattered and caught fire just now, and the smoke filled the sky for a while.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Peng Xiaobao ordered the warship to leave the battle circle, circled half a circle to widen the distance, and used firearms to launch a long-range attack again. Pity those Japanese ships, there are countless brave robbers who are not afraid of death, jumping on the ship angrily, but it is useless at all The place of martial arts.
The three Japanese ships with their sails on fire could no longer move, Cheng Shang stood there as a living target, and were mercilessly destroyed by the artillery of the Ming army. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining six Japanese ships turned to escape immediately.
Han Wu and Peng Xiaobao killed each other and ordered three warships to chase the six Japanese ships. At this time, the Japanese pirates did not have a single weapon to attack the warships of the Ming army. The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, but the Japanese pirate ships were very fast. Except for the three Japanese ships whose sails caught fire and could not be eliminated in time, they were forced to stop at sea. The ship fled and soon left the Ming army behind.
When Han Wu's three warships approached the Japanese ship with sails lowered to put out the fire, the Japanese pirates were still stubbornly resisting. If they could capture live Japanese pirates as prisoners, it would naturally have a better effect on boosting the morale of the army. Therefore, Han Wu ordered the artillery to stop firing, and the warships approached seventy Rockets are used for 40 steps, flying spray guns are used for 40 steps, and javelins are thrown within 20 steps. When the hulls of both sides are close, fire bricks and thunderbolts are thrown up.
Such a multi-layered weapon attack within a hundred steps made it impossible for anyone to stand on the deck of the Japanese ship, let alone counterattack. The sea was swept into the abyss, and the other two Japanese ships were forced to surrender after shooting a few arrows.
Under the deterrence of the Hanwei battleship, the Japanese pirates obediently put out the fire, took out the spare sail from the cabin and replaced it, and then were escorted all the way towards Daming, just in time for Yang Ling's rescue fleet.
After listening to Han Wu's introduction, Yang Ling, Zeng Jianxiong and others couldn't stop laughing. Yang Ling said happily: "So, my navy wiped out six Japanese ships and captured two, and none of the battleships were damaged? Haha, good! Good! What about soldier casualties?"
Han Wei said with a wry smile: "Soldiers Didn't anyone die, more than forty people were injured."
Zeng Jianxiong said with relief: "Master Han, you can win a big victory with three warships against eleven Japanese ships, five hundred recruits against one thousand two or three hundred bandits. There are more than forty people, it¡¯s really nothing.¡±
Han Wei shook his head and smiled wryly: "Your Excellency, I don't know. Among the more than forty people who were injured, except for one who was injured by a Japanese pirate's bow and arrow, the rest were all flustered in the first battle. , Some fell off the deck, some were injured by bruises, and none of them were injured by Japanese pirates. It seems that our navy officers and soldiers are still extremely inexperienced in battle. If the Japanese pirates have powerful battleships and artillery, the outcome is hard to predict. ".

The navy of the Ming army fought the Japanese pirates head-on, and the news of the victory in the first battle spread quickly. For a while, the people in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and even the whole of Jiangnan rejoiced, and the gentry, celebrities, and laborers came to express their condolences.
However, the battle report of the great victory had just been sent to the capital, and the Japanese pirates who rushed to the coast of Daming one after another, took advantage of the coastline that stretched thousands of miles and could not be fully defended, sneaked ashore and began to invade the bandits on a large scale.
