Mukai Tadakatsu had no time to take care of the tragic situation in the south.
Now he commanded more than 40 warships and began to flee northward for their lives. ` The more than twenty gigantic ships that appeared behind frightened Tadakatsu Mukai's courage.
If he had known that Akito had such a huge warship, he would never have risked going into battle.
It's not that he didn't have courage, it was just that Going to sea to fight is a recipe for death.
The most important thing is that this defeat will make the general even more shameless.
The outside lords below are ready to make moves, and it is even unknown whether the Yusan family will make any changes.
And the honor and disgrace of the Mukai family has been tied to the shogun for generations.
If the shogun's rule is not guaranteed, as a generational retainer of the Tokugawa family, the Mukai family will also be in trouble.
In this way, the shogunate navy and most of the country's warships were ruined.
Even if he escaped back to the well, he would have to disembowel himself and commit suicide.
However, in order to do his best to drive back the remaining Nanman warships, he had to escape.
Mukai now knows that the Nanman warships are the backbone of the navy.
As long as these dozens of warships run back, even if other warships are lost, the foundation of the shogunate navy will still exist.
Since the Shogunate Navy turned first, and at the same time they also took advantage of the southwesterly wind that was gradually increasing in strength, the Shogunate Navy's ship greatly improved, from a few miles ahead to more than ten miles ahead, and the ship was getting faster and faster.
But when the warships of the Polu Navy began to turn around and take advantage of the wind, the Shogunate Navy suffered a tragedy.
A soft sail boat has a great relationship with the area of the sail.
The bigger the sail, the faster the boat.
Of course, the size of the sail has a great relationship with the weight and shape of the hull.
If the hull is limited, the sail cannot be made too large, otherwise the boat will shake.
It will intensify and be detrimental to fast-moving boats, and may even capsize.
The Tang-class battleships and Song-class battleships of the Polu Army had the advantage in this regard.
Their full sails drove the hulls to increase, and with the help of the ever-expanding southwest Mukai Tadakatsu looked anxiously at the Akito battleships approaching from both sides with his telescope.
Especially the ranks of fast-moving giant ships on the east side.
These battleships with full sails are flying past like ancient behemoths.
Mukai discovered that the hulls of these battleships were marked with huge Chinese characters.
Of course, the native language was borrowed from Chinese characters.
He recognized a few such as loyalty, beauty, industry, etc.
He found that this was the first time that Ming had written a ship's name on a ship.
If Mukai Tadakatsu knew all the Chinese characters, he would find that the names of these battleships are Di Qing, Zong Ze, Zhong Shiheng, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Han Shizhong, Yang Jiye, Pan Mei, Zhang Xianhao, Cao Binhao, Yang Yanzhao , Li Tingzhi, Liu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Zhang Jun, Niu Gao, Yang Zaixing, Yao Xing, Wang Jian, Meng Gong, Li Jilong, Cao Wei, Zhongshidao, Zhonge, A series of battleships such as Bi Zaiyu and Zhong Shiheng.
Zhang Gusheng stood on the bow of the Di Qing and inspected the route of the Japanese warships.
These more than twenty Song-class warships are the most powerful warships of the Polu Navy, although they are the same as the previous Polu warships.
All fancy decorations were removed.
Because Zhao Lie was not happy, it was also to save a large amount of construction silver, but their huge body and more than twenty and thirty thirty-six and forty-eight pound heavy guns on the ship were still the main force of the Polu army's artillery battle.
Just to deceive the enemy, Zhao Lie kept him in Jeju.
This time Zhao Lie gave an order and let Zhang Gusheng, who had lived on Shidao for many years, take charge of the heavy artillery fleet.
This was the first time the Song class fleet went out.
The captains on the ship were all the captains of the original Polu army, who had been trained for a long time and were young and powerful.
With Zhao Lie's order to open the gate, all these captains rushed towards the fleeing shogunate navy like tigers out of their cages.
Zhang Gusheng is not a calm general like Li Hu, which can be seen from his ranking on the ship.
He is now the second in line to pursue the fleet.
His flag is flying high on the Di Qing, leading the entire fleet to attack forward.
The first three warships gradually approached the last three warships of the Japanese fleet, and they slowly went from falling behind to keeping pace. ` The last three warships of the Japanese were just over 200 tons.
Their round ships were not suitable for competition.
The Galen ships of the Netherlands were known for their stability and large capacity, so although these three ships The warship ventured to raise its full sail in the strong wind and waves, and even the ship shook from time to time, but it was still helplessly overtaken by the Wu Jie, which was several times their size, but the Wu Jie did not stop.
But keep moving forward.

The Di Qing behind, carrying Zhang Gusheng, also passed the last enemy ship and moved forward.
Boom boom boom, several Japanese warships fired at the Wu Jie, Di Qing, and Han Shizhong, which were more than two miles away from their sides.
Most of the thirty broadside artillery projectiles lost their sights in the wind and waves.
Only a few twelve-pounder cannons and eighteen-pounder projectiles hit the sides of the three warships, but after a muffled bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.
The three warships were safe and sound and began to approach the three Japanese warships.
The thickness of the Song-class battleship's shipboard cannot be blasted away by these few trots at such a distance.
With such a large tonnage, a lot of it is used for protection.
The Japanese navy knew exactly what they were doing when they came closer.
The Japanese soldiers who had fought against the Polu army several times were all very experienced.
As soon as Akito did this, heavy artillery roared, but they did not dare to dodge.
If they stayed behind, they would delay the attack.
If they escaped before the battle, the children in the family would never end well.
The only thing they can do is to bombard wildly, try to dissipate heat, and forget about any volleys.
Now it is important to fire.
What if the opponent's sail is shattered or some medicine bag is ignited?
The Japanese sailors on the battleship wanted to beat their master to death with random punches.
After two rounds of shelling, the three Song-class ships approached less than a mile away.
Except for the damage to the two upper sails of the Han Shizhong and some bullet marks left on the sides, there were no major losses.
Under the desperate gaze of the Japanese navy, the huge gun windows on the sides of the three warships opened.
Just looking at the gun windows of these three warships, you will know that they must be huge cannons.
The Japanese can only wait for the hammer blow.
Boom, boom, boom, fifteen twenty-four-pound guns, twelve thirty-six-pound guns, and six forty-eight-pound guns on the sides of the Di Qing, Wu Jie, and Han Shizhong roared one after another.
After the low-pitched sound of the cannons, the twenty-four-pound, thirty-six-pound, and forty-eight-pound projectiles flew away like lightning.
In the turbulence of strong winds and waves, I was speechless when it came to accuracy, but some projectiles still completed their mission.
The mainmast of the Japanese warship at the rear was shattered with a bang, and the entire mainmast and mainsail tilted to the side.
If it were not wrapped with a rope ladder, it would have fallen on the deck.
The Japanese warship, which was running away with all its strength, immediately tilted and turned like a drunkard.
At the same time, two holes were drilled into its east side.
Fortunately, it was not the work of the 48-pound Tiago cannon, but two projectiles.
Getting into the gun deck was also a disaster.
A twenty-four-pound projectile knocked two twelve-pound cannons out of their emplacements, knocking out six or seven gunners.
Another thirty-six-pound projectile did not hit the cannons, but brought hundreds of Thousands of wood chips greeted almost half of the gunners immediately.
The smell of blood immediately filled the entire artillery deck, and almost all the injured gunners were howling loudly, except of course the unlucky few who paid homage to Lord Hachiman.
It is true that these Japanese were more fierce than Akito.
After all, the Warring States Period was not that far away.
They still bore the mark of the Warring States Period, but no one had ever experienced such a bloody scene.
Facing forty or fifty people falling to the ground and writhing and screaming in agony, as well as the flesh and blood stumps flying everywhere, the remaining Japanese gunners were stunned.
The warship's artillery stopped completely.
It wasn't until the Japanese soldiers on the deck rushed in and yelled that the trembling geese came back to their senses and fired again.
But unfortunately, only five or six cannons were weak. fought back.
Compared with this ship, the sailors in the Japanese warship in the middle were luckier.
Three forty-eight-pound projectiles from the Di Qing penetrated its gun deck, and one projectile missed the gunpowder pile.
Then there was nothing more.
There were deafening explosions.
The battleship was almost cut in half.

It began to sink slowly with thick smoke and fire.
The Japanese gunner on the artillery deck lost his life and consciousness almost instantly.
He fell to the ground.
They don't have to suffer anymore, so their fate is better than that of the Japanese warship just now.
The Japanese warship at the front must have been protected by the great god Hachiman.
Except for two projectiles that hit the sail and slowed it down, there were no other external injuries.
This made the captain and soldiers of the Wujie extremely embarrassed.
The Di Qing and Han Shizhong were engaged in heavy killings, and the enemy ships were wiped out.
However, the enemy ships opposite the Wujie were moving alive and kicking.
This was so embarrassing.
In fact, the Wu Jie was unjustly accused.
During the shelling, a large swell hit the ship, so almost all the projectiles were released.
However, the battlefield is not a place for reasoning.
There are only successes and failures here.
Now it was the Di Qing that blew up its opponent, the Han Shizhong that severely damaged its opponent and paralyzed it at sea, and the Wu Jie's opponent ran away happily, while Master Zhang was watching from the Di Qing behind them.
The soldiers on the Wujie held their breath, reloaded and reset their weapons, and aimed at the Japanese warship that was still moving.
Boom boom boom, more than thirty heavy artillery fired a second salvo.
This time four projectiles hit the enemy ship, two of which hit the artillery deck.
These two projectiles from the 48-pound Tiago cannon, the artillery Two huge holes were punched in the side of the deck, and the rain of wood chips staged a bloody scene here.
Most of the warship's cannons also stopped firing.
In the subsequent bombardment, the three Song-class warships completely paralyzed the three enemy ships, leaving them to fend for themselves at sea
