"Look, my lord, the Wei navy has escaped to the north." the captain of the Li Jing shouted.
Li Hu was looking around at the reorganization of the entire fleet.
Not only did the fleet turn around and leave, it also had to make a large circle within ten miles and re-turn the bow to attack.
Therefore, reorganization was not that easy.
When Li Hu heard the captain shouting, he turned around quickly, raised his telescope and looked into the distance.
I saw the Weihai Navy warships, whether they were intact or in dilapidated condition, desperately escaping to the north.
This one ran cleanly and this one ran without any restraints, showing the style of the Ming Dynasty army.
How the Ming Dynasty army was defeated and fled on the road. , will happen again at sea today.
Behind them were dozens of Korean fireships.
The Korean soldiers watched in stunned silence as the Ming Dynasty men patted their butts and walked away.
They were now left naked on the sea without the protection of the warships.
They had no What kind of force can you use to protect yourself?
"Sir, are you going to chase them?"
The captain, who was also an old man from Weihai Navy, asked from the side.
"What do you think?"
Li Hu still carefully observed the enemy situation on the sea.
"Ahem, no matter how you say it, it's the Weihai navy, not it," the captain didn't dare to say anything next.
He and many Polu army navy captains were once from the Weihai navy, and they always have a certain affinity.
"We can't pursue them.
It's not the Weihai Navy you said, but if we deal with them, the North Korean Navy will run away.
Order to attack the North Korean Navy with all our strength."
Li Hu shook his head.
The Zhao family he was loyal to was the same as the Weihai Navy.
It has nothing to do with Shi Mao.
What's more, he already knew about the boss's illness and returned to Shidao, so how could he still show mercy?
Only by basically wiping out the North Korean Navy can the North Korean Lee family's desire to regain Jeju be completely extinguished.
The main enemy at this moment is the North Koreans.
As for the Wei Navy, they just ran back.
Without the cooperation of the North Korean Navy, is it possible to come to help?
It is impossible.
Ming Dynasty has too much to take care of itself.
Otherwise, at least the Tianjin Navy, Denglai Navy, and Yangtze River Navy will come.
The coalition consisted of tens of thousands of naval forces and hundreds of warships.
"The drum trumpet knows all the ships.
Withdraw, retreat to the Lishui camp as soon as possible."
Sun Zhengzai, who had regained his composure, knew that this battle was bound to be defeated, because the Ming army's escape destroyed their fighting spirit.
The fire ship can't get close at all.
Now being able to escape back to Lishui Dazhai is a victory, and the others will do a lot of things.
Sun Zhengzai's flagship sent out a series of drum flags, and immediately began to turn the ship's bow, really charging behind.
Retreat first.
Sun Zhengzai's order to retreat and the example he set caused chaos in the North Korean navy.
Most of the warships began to turn around and run away.
If you don't run away now, when the Ming Dynasty fleet turns around and comes back, you don't know whose ship will suffer again.
The battlefield with a radius of ten miles was a mess.
The Jeju Navy had just turned around and started to return, while the North Korean Navy also started to turn around and headed north.

They couldn't care about anything else.
Now it was a race.
Those who stay behind will definitely suffer the first blow from Akito.
Therefore, all the Korean warships tried their best not to fall behind.
Of course, the dilapidated warships that were attacked in the first round could slowly follow behind.
The most tragic thing is the fire ship.
These ships generally have small sails.
They mainly rely on sailors to paddle quickly to approach enemy ships at close range, and then set fire to the ship after impact.
The sailors jump into the water to escape.
This is the meaning of their existence.
Now they are all running away, what should they do?
It is enough to paddle a few hundred steps, but if it is longer, can it match the wind power of the sail?
After the manpower was exhausted, it could only float on the water, so hundreds of fire boats were densely packed on the sea behind, which was a spectacular sight.
Not all the Korean warships escaped.
Two ships rushed upstream towards the Polu navy.
Wen Quantai stood at the bow.
The wind blew his gray beard and hair away, and he looked motionless at the Akito warship ahead.
"My lord, let's go back to Lishui.
Madam and Young Master are still here, so we can go back."
A middle-aged man on the side advised with tears in his eyes.
"It is my duty to protect the land.
I am the temperance envoy of the Lishui navy.
The navy returned with a great defeat.
How can I go to see your father?
Cui Dao, you don't need to persuade me.
There is a small boat behind the boat.
You can jump into the water and go back to my wife and son."
Bring a letter, saying that the master has made an oath before this trip, not to return if he wins, can you bring it?"
Wen Quantai looked at Cui Dao.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely bring the letter back with you."
Cui Dao knelt down and said.
"Let's go."
Wen Quantai waved his hand.
Cui Dao kowtowed, turned around and left, leaping from the side into the sea.
As an old sailor, this was not a problem.
Wen Quantai took off his sword and held it in his hand.
He sighed secretly in his heart, saying that he could not go back.
If he guessed correctly, Sun Zhengzai would definitely blame him and other Jeolla Province and Gyeongsang Province navy for this defeat, while the Seoul Navy was not hurt.
It's just reprimand and punishment.
As these two navies were guilty of not investigating the matter before the war, being invincible, and fleeing before the battle.
If he went back, he would be dead and his family would be exterminated.
If he died in battle, he would be dead and the king would not be able to survive.
He will pursue the Wen family, and it will leave a way out for his descendants, so he can be regarded as a well-deserved death.
With a bang, Wen Quantai drew out his long sword and said, "Brothers, you are all Wen's old subordinates.
If we retreat this time after we are defeated, we will die.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If we are defeated in battle, we will be charged with it.
You also know that we would rather die in battle." , Don’t let the family be embarrassed, dare to fight to the death with the enemy.”
"Dare to fight."
There were mixed responses from all around.
People have been struggling to die since ancient times.
When they reached this situation, they also knew that it was not good for their most civilized direct subordinates to go back.
The best result would be to go to Bitter Cold.
To guard the northern border, it was good to live for a few years, and the family members were even demoted to official slaves.
Therefore, he shouted without making a sound, but he did not relax his work.
The warship continued to face the Ming Navy, all working hard.
Lan San was actually very depressed.
The main function of the patrol ship was to protect the Sui and Tang Han-class ships.
During the bombardment, the cannons were smaller, less in number, and less effective.
The enemy was defeated and fled after a single engagement, so Lan San basically had nothing to do.
Just as the Xipu was pursuing full speed, two Korean warships rushed straight towards them.
Lan San was overjoyed, thinking that he finally had some military exploits in his hands.
Lan San ordered the boatswain to align the broadsides.
The greatest power of the Jeju warship was the artillery.
Of course Lan San would make good use of it.
The two ships staggered, and the two sides began to bombard each other.
Wen Quantai's side only had three artillery pieces that could bombard the Nishiura, and the projectiles were pitifully small.
However, the Xipu had ten cannons that could bombard it.
During the roar, six of the cannons hit the opponent.
Wen Quantai's ship's side panels were shattered, and several big guns appeared on the side of the ship.
Fortunately, there were not many people inside.
There were few casualties.
Only one of Moon Quantai's cannons hit the ship, and there was nothing but a muffled bang on the side of the Nishiura ship.
However, Moon Chung-tae's ship was completely unwilling to fight, and continued to advance rapidly, directly driving the Jeju warship behind.
Lan Sanyi was stunned when he saw that there was Li Jing behind him.
It was the ship commanded by Li.
He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly ordered to turn around.
At this time, Wen Quantai completely ignored the shelling and exchange of bombardments.
He had no chance of winning the bombardment, and could only be killed by the bombardment.
His plan was to resist it, ram directly into the big ship behind, and then join forces to fight, and then Kill more enemies until they die.
Li Hu watched the two enemy ships attacking against the current in the retreating tide, and he secretly praised in his heart that North Korea was not unmanned.
Back then, there was Yi Sun-shin, and today there is this general.
But there is no reason to be merciful to the enemy, otherwise it will be the turn of one's own soldiers to suffer heavy casualties.
Li Hu ordered the enemy to be killed.
The Ma Yuan and Wei Yan next to the Li Jing met the enemy in advance and bombarded them with artillery at a distance of one mile.
The two ships had more than 20 cannons on their sides, and nearly ten of them were 36-pound guns.
Brother cannon.
These more than ten Tiago cannons can be regarded as disemboweling Wen Quantai's ship.
The already dilapidated side sides were basically intact, and a large amount of water began to enter the three large holes on the side waterline.
Wen Quantai's boat tilted and moved forward tenaciously, but the main sail was basically broken and the power was lost.
It relied only on inertia.

Half of Wen Quantai's body was stained red with blood, and his left rib was hit by a piece of wood.
Now half of his body is numb and he has absolutely no luck.
Boom, the second bombardment came.
At this time, even the Nishiura caught up and bombarded with ten cannons on the side.
Most of the sixty cannons hit, too close, and fired several more big guns on the waterline.
The warship could no longer hold on and began to tilt and sink.
All the sailors on the ship who could move began to jump into the sea.
Wen Quantai locked the side of the ship with his belt and the ship sank, disappearing into the sea.
Although Li Hu lamented that there were people in the North Korean Navy who dared to fight, but now the main business was to chase and kill the fleeing enemies.
The Jeju Navy divided into several groups to pursue the fleeing enemy.
Along the way, they first let go of the fire ship and went straight to pursue the war ship.
After sinking several warships, they caught up with the turtle ship.
This was because the sails of the turtle ship were smaller and the hull covered with broken iron was extremely heavy.
It was normal for them to fall behind.
Dozens of warships began to encircle and suppress these ten armored ships.
Amidst the roar of artillery, the turtle ship persisted and fired back.
Not only was it protected by iron armor, but the gun positions on the deck were also protected by iron sheets.
Therefore, its thousand-pound cannons also kept firing back.
But the Tang-class warship caught up, and after the thirty-six-pound and forty-eight-pound Tiago cannon started roaring, the turtle ship could no longer withstand it, and the armor that had been deformed and cracked by the blow was shattered.
An hour later, three turtle-shell ships were sunk, and the remaining turtle-shell ships were forced to surrender.
There was no other way.
If they didn't surrender, they would have to feed the fish and shrimps.
However, the turtle ship's fight still bought time.
Many Korean warships took the opportunity to disperse and flee north, and some fire ships also dispersed and fled.
The Heishanzi naval battle ended, and more than 100 of the 20,000 Ming and Korean allied forces and 300 large and small warships returned to the Lishui camp.
Sun Zhengzai fled back, Wen Quantai and Luo Tiehu were killed in the battle, and more than 6,000 navy soldiers were missing or died in the battle.
Jin Zidian, who was waiting for good news at the Lishui camp, saw the defeated army escaping in embarrassment.
He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and thought that it was over.
With such a huge defeat, he must resign as the governor.
Of course, he has a family with everyone in the family, and the king may I won’t go into details, but his Jin Zidian’s reputation was ruined.
When he heard Sun Zhengzai crying that the Ming people fled first, causing the navy to be defeated, he was furious.
He was also secretly happy in his heart.
He was finally saved.
It was not a crime of war.
This was because the soldiers and horses of the Celestial Kingdom fled first.
Jin was defeated.
I'm sure he's passed the test
