Although detailed data statistics have not yet been carried out, based on the situation at the scene, Zhu Youxiao felt that the shells just fired had a 60 to 70 chance of hitting the target.

Although many of those ships could not move, and even if they could move, their speed was very slow, but such a hit rate still made Zhu Youxiao very happy. After all, there was no precision guidance in that era.

Even if we were facing the opposing navy, there would definitely be no problem. In this era, you couldn't run fast even if you wanted to, and dodging artillery shells wasn't that easy.

In actual combat, it is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of the targets can be hit. This is a remarkable achievement.

When fighting at sea, it is simply impossible to hit an enemy with a single shell.

Zhu Youxiao once heard of an incident in which the two sides engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, consuming more than 7,000 bullets, but in the end only one person was slightly injured. This battle situation was quite magical.

With the current defensive capabilities of warships, against the power of Ming Dynasty artillery, basically one shot would kill one enemy. If it were a large ship like the Spanish Armada, it would only take one round of artillery fire to sink it.

The artillery of the Ming Dynasty was not solid bullets, nor were they ordinary shrapnel shells, but real explosive shells that would explode as soon as they landed.

The artillery's long range and powerful power are simply extraordinary. Under such circumstances, a fleet like the Ming Dynasty could defeat many enemies.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao believed that after several practical operations and a few actual battles, the army would improve. That is why he chose to attack Japan at this time.

On the one hand, it was to vent one's anger, and on the other hand, conquering Japan's land had other uses. At the same time, one could also obtain their resources and finally train troops.

Although the newly formed Ming Dynasty Royal Navy was well-trained and well-equipped, it had never fought in actual combat, which was not good.

In this case, I need to find an opponent for the Royal Navy.

The opponent cannot be too strong or too weak. Japan is a good opponent. That's why we have the idea of ​​attacking Japan this time.

This is the result of comprehensive consideration.

Once the Ming conquers Japan, Korea will be located between the two countries and will eventually belong to the Ming. Sooner or later, all of the people and land will be surnamed Zhu. This is a good thing.

After the ship was driven away, it quickly moved closer to the shore and then opened fire again with its broadside guns.

This time, the bombing was carried out on land targets, and rockets were also used.

Compared to mobile rocket launchers, the rocket launchers mounted on warships are more powerful. Because they do not need to consider the load capacity, they are equipped with larger rockets.

Bigger rockets mean longer range and greater explosive power.

This is indeed the case.

Amidst shrill screams, the rockets spun and flew towards the seashore, followed by overwhelming explosions.

The entire coastline was filled with smoke, flames shot into the sky, and explosions were heard everywhere. Nothing could be seen clearly except the blown-up soil.

Seeing this scene, Li Xi’s eyes widened.

Li Xi couldn't help but think of something. When the Ming Dynasty was fighting in Korea and Japan, the Japanese people built a fortress at the easternmost end of Korea, close to Japan, and held on there.

If there were such artillery, taking the fort would be a matter of a cannonade.

In fact, the Wanli Emperor fought against the Japanese in Korea for seven years. The national strength accumulated by the generations of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu was completely destroyed in that war.

History has also proven that the impact of that incident was very significant, and from that time on, Japan never recovered. It was not until the Meiji Restoration that Japan was able to rise again.

For the Ming Dynasty, the damage from that war was also very heavy. Combined with the other two fronts, the three major expeditions of the Wanli Emperor were actually necessary.

The result of the war was that the national strength accumulated since the opening of the sea in Emperor Longqing and the reform of Zhang Juzheng was completely depleted, and the elite generals and troops in Liaodong were almost all lost, including Deng Zhilong who was killed in battle.

The result was the Ming army's great defeat in the final Battle of Sarhu.

Zhu Youxiao also had a deep memory of that incident. Although he felt helpless, there was nothing he could do about some things.

If the Ming Dynasty had not supported Korea, Korea would have been destroyed. After all, the King of Korea had already fled to the Yalu River to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, and even submitted a letter to the country saying that he wanted to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty.

Although the descendants of Korea do not acknowledge it, it is true.

This time Zhu Youxiao was not so soft-hearted.

In fact, if Emperor Wanli had been ruthless that time, Korea would have been annexed by the Ming Dynasty. However, Emperor Wanli talked about benevolence, righteousness, and morality, and in the end, it didn't work out.

Zhu Youxiao would not miss such an opportunity this time. Since North Korea has been jumping all the time, he would just hold back and not let them jump.

At this time, the warships had completed the bombing and the coastline was already in ruins.

At this time, countless small boats were lowered from the warship, and the soldiers began to rush towards the coastline quickly in the small boats.

They were very fast and rushed forward like a white line.

After these soldiers rushed to the shore, they threw the boat directly onto the seashore and quickly rushed to the shore.

Zhu Youxiao was able to see these soldiers through the telescope. Some of them were carrying mortars and they quickly set up mortar positions on the shore.

Some people also brought machine guns and found a position to set up the machine gun positions after going up.

Others rushed forward with their rifles, pulling them quickly and imitating several shots.

Some people took out grenades and threw them forward.
