In the end, there was a loud bang, and the Zhenyu battleship finally collided with the Japanese warship. However, because the Japanese warship dodged in advance, the Zhenyu battleship hit the waist of the Japanese warship.
For a moment, the soldiers on the Japanese warships felt a violent shaking. When their minds just became a little clearer, they saw something flying over their heads.
However, when they realized what the flying objects were, it was too late. They were more than ten ignited explosive packs. After another loud bang, the Japanese warships were already full of dead and wounded, and wailing was endless.
They dealt with one Japanese warship, but there were still two Japanese warships behind it. The two warships slightly deviated from their route, avoided the two accident ships in front, and then continued to move forward because they had to continue to complete the task assigned to them by Yamamoto.
However, at this moment, two narrow boats jumped out from behind the Zhenyu and sped towards the other two Japanese ships.
The two small boats were the tactics that Gong Yu had previously created. The small boats were different from the Japanese gunboats because they were towed behind the Ming warships. Therefore, no matter how strong the wind and waves were, they might be overturned, but they would never be sunk.
At critical moments in war, gunpowder would be moved onto the ships, and then the suicide fighters would steer them to crash into enemy warships.
And this moment is the so-called critical moment.
Eight death-defying warriors from the Ming Empire rowed two small boats like assault boats towards the other two Japanese warships. They rowed very fast, of course, this was also the result of their usual hard training.
The gunpowder on the boat has been ignited, and a spear has been tied to the bow, so that when the boat hits the Japanese warship, it can be firmly fixed on it.
"Brothers, this is the first expedition of our Ming Dynasty. From now on, we are people of merit and will bring honor to our family."
The eight Ming Dynasty warriors on the two small boats had no fear at all. They had absolute confidence in themselves, and at the same time, they had absolute confidence in the Ming Dynasty to which they were loyal.
"Brothers, jump."
When the small boat was about to hit the Japanese warship, the eight people each jumped into the sea holding a piece of wood.
If they win this battle, even if they have the advantage, or when the fighting subsides, someone will naturally come to rescue them. Of course, it doesn't matter even if no one rescues them, because if no one comes to rescue them, then there is only one possibility, that is, their Ming Dynasty navy has been defeated. If they have been defeated, it would be no injustice for them to die at sea.
Everything seemed to happen in a flash. Due to his perspective, Yamamoto Neiji didn't see the two small boats at all, but Chiba and Sakura on the frigate saw them clearly.
Chiba shook his head helplessly: "Oh no."
Sakura is also a smart person: "The boat driven by such a daring person must be carrying gunpowder."
As soon as Xiaoying finished speaking, she heard two loud noises, and two clouds of dust jumped up from the sea level, mixed with two huge waves. From that moment on, the three Japanese warships responsible for disrupting the formation of the Ming fleet all lost their combat effectiveness.
Yamamoto looked at the two huge waves in the distance and was stunned for a moment. After a long time, he said, "Witchcraft!"
Watanabe on the side praised: "Marshal, how could it be sorcery? It was just dynamite. Our ship was blown up."
…
Yamamoto felt a little dizzy. Three more warships had lost their combat effectiveness. From the beginning of the war to now, more than a dozen warships on his side had lost their combat effectiveness, and the price of losing combat effectiveness was most likely to be buried in the sea.
"Why is this happening? Why is this happening?"
Just as Long Ze said before, Yamamoto was mentally exhausted at the moment. Although he was the Grand Marshal of the Japanese Navy, he had hardly ever fought a war. It would have been fine if he had never fought a war, after all, Gong Yu had never fought a war either. But Gong Yu had been constantly practicing and experimenting with various tactics in the past few years. No matter what was happening at the moment or what had not happened, she had imagined it in her mind. Therefore, when the time came, she could instinctively make the most correct response.
Yamamoto was different. Ever since Musashi Hideki's 200,000-strong army was annihilated a few years ago, he not only did not wake up at all, but instead focused his main energy on suppressing the army personnel. Suppressing the army personnel would have been fine, but he also put the little energy he had left on women. In recent years, Yamamoto's prestige in Japan has been growing, so he has taken in many concubines and bought many geishas. But when the time came and this situation occurred, he was already in a panic, so how could he come up with too many strategies?
…
Looking at the Ming navy again, on the treasure ship, Gong Yu smiled and said, "It's done."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Yu'er. But, can the Zhenyu be saved?"
Gong Yu narrowed his eyes, glanced in the direction of the Zhenyu, and then said firmly: "The Zhenyu is fine, it will not sink. I have added an iron plate to the bow of our Ming Dynasty warship. Although it is only a thin layer, the actual effect is surprisingly good."
After Gong Yu said this, he glanced in the direction of the sun and said, "Half an hour, another half an hour, it will be almost dark. Tonight is the key to our victory."
Zhao Min smiled bitterly and said: "As soon as it gets dark, you will give orders to hundreds of soldiers to drive small boats towards the Japanese fleet's camp."
"A few hundred people and a little gunpowder, not much is needed. As long as we can blow up sixty or seventy Japanese warships, they will surely collapse. Then our large ships will rush in and fight. The worst-case scenario is that both sides will suffer losses."
After Zhao Min said this, she looked at Zhang Wuji with a smile and said: "Congratulations, my dear, you won this battle. Next, I will lead the Ming army to gallop across the land of Japan."
