Sailing on the sea is boring until you encounter the enemy.
Of course, this is for other people.
For Yun Zheng and Jia Yao, sailing on the sea was very interesting.
Looking at the two people who were always getting close to each other, Qin Qihu suddenly regretted sitting on Yun Zheng's flagship.
In order to make himself less bored, Qin Qihu made fun of Qin Pu and the others all day long, which aroused enough hatred.
That day, Jia Yao was leaning on Yun Zheng's arms and enjoying the sea breeze. Suddenly, the lookout shouted to the messenger, "Go and tell His Highness that the front troops have sent out flag signals and spotted the enemy!"
The messenger did not dare to delay and did not care whether he would disturb Yun Zheng and Jia Yao, and quickly came to report.
"Your Highness, the front troops have raised flags and spotted the enemy!"
Found the enemy?
Jia Yao suddenly stood up from Yun Zheng's arms.
...
...
Yun Zheng also stood up quickly and gave the order: "Pay close attention to the flag signals of the front army, and immediately send flag signals to the rest of the troops, ordering them to be on high alert and pay close attention to the enemy's movements!"
"yes!"
The messenger immediately went forward to deliver the message.
“Ding ding ding…”
Soon, the sound of iron tiles was heard on the flagship.
As the sound of iron tiles rang out, the crew members in all combat positions immediately entered combat positions.
Soon, Luntai and Qinpu in the cabin also came to the deck, suppressing their dizziness.
"Have you spotted the enemy?"
Lun Tai asked with some excitement.
Jia Yao wanted to see the power of the ship's guns, so did he.
"Um."
Yun Zheng nodded gently, "Stop messing around, both of you. Go back to the cabin! Even if we find the enemy, it will basically have nothing to do with us."
This is a handsome ship!
There were warships on all sides.
If the enemy were allowed to get close to their flagship, they would probably have to kill two men as sacrifices.
“Look, look…”
Luntai didn't want to go back to the cabin at all. He just wanted to climb up to the observation tower and take the clairvoyance from the lookout.
Suddenly, he felt less dizzy.
Qinpu also nodded in agreement.
Although he had seen the power of naval guns, they were only targeting merchant ships at that time.
Moreover, the merchant ship was parked there without moving.
He wanted to see how powerful naval guns could be in a real naval battle.
"Well, then you two stay on the deck!"
Yun Zheng smiled to himself, and ordered Lin Ji, "Go and fetch me my clairvoyance!"
"yes!"
Lin Ji obeyed the order.
Not long after, Lin Ji came to Yun Zheng holding a long wooden box.
When Lin Ji opened the wooden box, everyone discovered that it contained an oversized clairvoyance.
This clairvoyance was longer and larger than any they had seen before, and it had a bracket underneath.
Without Yun Zheng's instructions, Lin Ji skillfully took out the shelf and began to assemble it, and then fixed the oversized clairvoyance on the shelf.
"When did you do this?"
Qin Qihu asked Yun Zheng curiously.
"It will be ready by the New Year."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "This is made of crystal that I stole from my father's treasure house."
Originally, he wanted to get the glass out with Zhang Xu.
But they did make it, but they didn't know which link went wrong, the glass they made had some color, and some even had bubbles.
Finally, Yun Zheng ran directly into Emperor Wen’s treasure house and took out the high-quality crystals collected there. He and Zhang Xu tinkered with it for three days before they made this thing.
This is much better than the clairvoyance he had invented himself.
Not only can you see farther and more clearly, but it is also more refined and beautiful.
It must be said that Zhang Xu, the chubby one, has the most dexterous hands!
boom!
Just as Yun Zheng and Qin Qihu were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of artillery fire.
Hearing the sound of artillery fire, Yun Zheng quickly began to adjust the position and focus of the telescope, aiming it at the front army.
boom!
Soon, another cannon shot was heard.
In the distance, a fire can be seen without a clairvoyance.
"Your Highness, the front troops reported that they had discovered the enemy's main force of about 80 warships, and the front troops were engaging in battle with the enemy!"
At this time, the messenger came to report again.
"very good!"
Yun Zheng smiled. "Tell Zhao Liuliang and Sanada Takeshi to fight on their own. I will not interfere with their actions! Tell them to beat up these bastards!"
"yes!"
The messenger received the order and went forward to deliver the message immediately.
While Yun Zheng was giving the order, the sound of artillery fire never stopped in their ears.
"Let me see it now!"
Jia Yao quickly rushed to Yun Zheng and put his eyes against the clairvoyance.
Through her clairvoyance, she can clearly see the battle situation ahead.
The guns of the front army spit out tongues of fire, continuously bombarding the enemy ships that were attacking them.
boom!
The naval guns roared.
A shrapnel bomb hit the enemy warship, causing a violent explosion and blasting a large hole on the port side of the ship.
The enemy ship immediately began to tilt at a speed visible to the naked eye.
You don't need to look to know that once the sea water rushes into the ship, the enemy ship will inevitably capsize.
Jia Yao stared at the scene in a daze.
Although they were far apart, she was still deeply shocked.
Under the bombardment of naval guns, the enemy's warships looked like paper.
The enemy suffered heavy losses before they even got close to their warships.
She didn't understand naval warfare, but she understood land warfare.
If we move the naval guns to the city walls, how will we attack the city in the future?
If you are fighting in the wild, as long as you make arrangements in advance, the enemy won't even have a chance to rush over!
Is this the future war that Yun Zheng talked about?
While Jia Yao was in a daze, the navy of Yu Kingdom was also stunned.
"What is that?"
"What on earth is that?"
Minamoto Nagamasa on the command ship roared angrily and looked at the scene in disbelief.
However, no one could answer his question.
His problem is also the problem of many people.
At their distance, they could only see dark holes on the sides of the enemy ships. A flash of fire appeared inside the holes, and then a round object attacked them.
Some fell on the sea, causing huge splashes.
But as long as that thing hits their warships, their warships will basically be scrapped.
Two other warships were hit several times and were torn apart directly.
“Help!”
“Save me…”
The soldiers of the Yu Kingdom who fell into the sea kept wailing.
But no one could save them.
Not many people could even hear their cries for help.
What many people hear more is the thunder-like sound and the heart-wrenching screams.
"Go ahead! Go ahead!"
Minamoto Nagamasa shouted angrily: "Order the ships to charge and sink the enemy ships!"
Minamoto no Nagamasa had experienced countless naval battles, large and small, but this was the first time he encountered such a situation.
However, his experience told him that as long as they rammed and sank the enemy's main battleship, they would have a chance to defeat the enemy!
Moreover, they can seize weapons from enemy ships!
As long as I have this kind of weapon, who in the entire Yu Kingdom would dare to fight against me?
At this moment, Minamoto Nagamasa's greed overcame his fear of the unknown.
Upon receiving the order from Minamoto no Nagamasa, several frigates immediately rushed out from the fleet.
With the joint efforts of sails and oarsmen, they quickly rammed into the flank gunboats of Zhao Liuliang's troops.
"court death!"
Seeing the enemy's actions, Zhao Liuliang couldn't help but sneer, and immediately ordered: "Order all ships to attack freely! Send these damn bastards into the sea to feed the fish!"
"yes!"
The messenger yelled and immediately waved the flag in his hand...
