Chapter 400 The naval battle is also a horizontal push

The arrival of the three Zhenhai destroyers also surprised the Japanese pirates.

Ye Ma, the leader of the Japanese pirates, looked at the three strange ships without masts, and rushed over with black smoke. The expression on his face was dazed, and he had no idea what they were doing.

Is this a boat too?

Why is there no mast and no sail, yet it can still move?

"Raise the anchor and raise the sail."

Ye Ma reached out and pulled out a long knife, pointing in the direction of the three Zhenhai destroyers, "Raise the battle flag and prepare to fight!"

These three strange ships all carry the sun and moon flags, which are obviously ships of the Ming army.

Although there is no mast and no sails, it is indeed a bit strange, but, with only three ships, still want to fight with me? I have hundreds of ships here!

Yema, a Japanese pirate who has been at sea for many years, is full of confidence in winning the naval battle.

Even if Huating Hou Luli came in person, I could throw him into the sea and feed him.

...

Lu Li is here!

Standing on the bridge of the destroyer, Lu Li raised his binoculars and looked at the messy Japanese pirate fleet ahead.

The composition of this Japanese pirate fleet is very complicated. There are lucky boats commonly used by Daming maritime merchants, as well as smaller treasure ships, as well as turtle ships from Japan, and armed merchant ships from Western Francophones.

Judging from the equipment on these ships, only three French-armed merchant ships were equipped with artillery pieces.

Although there are many ships in the Japanese pirate fleet, hundreds of large and small, but... in front of the three destroyers, they are all targets.

Lu Li turned his head to look at the Songjiang naval officer next to him, and nodded slightly, "Zhang Wei, you are in charge of the specific operations, and wipe out this Japanese pirate for me."

"Yes!"

Zhang Wei, a naval officer in a blue military uniform, hurriedly saluted Lu Li.

"Full left rudder! Full speed ahead!"

With an order, black smoke spewed from the chimneys of the three battleships. The steam engine drives the propeller, bursting with a powerful thrust, breaking the waves and moving forward rapidly.

On the sea, the three Zhenhai destroyers lined up in a battle line, passing in the direction of the Japanese pirate fleet, forming a "T" formation with the Japanese pirate fleet.

"Fire!"

Seizing the T-position, the three destroyers arranged in a battle line focused on the first battleship led by the Japanese pirate fleet.

"Boom!"

A series of flames erupted from the side of the destroyer.

All of a sudden, the sound of the cannons shook the sky!

The side guns of the three battleships fired salvos at almost the same time, and the dense shells slammed down the Japanese pirate fleet.

The accuracy of naval artillery shelling is naturally far worse than that of fixed targets on land.

In this round of salvo, many artillery shells were missed, and only huge water columns were blown out near the Japanese pirates ship.

However... just hit one cannonball!

"Boom!"

With a violent explosion, a shell hit the lead ship of the Japanese pirate fleet. The shell penetrated the ship's board and exploded in the cabin.

The flames roared, and the shattered boards splashed around.

With just one hit, the French-armed merchant ship robbed by the Japanese pirates exploded a huge hole in the middle.

And then... the second salvo came again.

This time, the hit rate was much higher. Four artillery shells hit the armed merchant ship, shattering the Fran-machine armed merchant ship on the spot.

Such fierce firepower directly scared everyone in the Japanese pirate fleet.

Qi Jiguang and the others, who were standing on the shore watching the naval battle, were also horrified.

How could Huating Hou even have such a powerful warship?

Who can resist such firepower?

At this moment, Qi Jiguang had a very deep understanding of Lu Li's "doesn't understand the art of war".

With such powerful firepower, what kind of tactics do you need? It is completely like a hammer smashing eggs, pushing and rolling all the way, irresistible.

The battle situation was exactly what Qi Jiguang had expected, and it was a complete horizontal push.

After two rounds of salvos blew up the lead ship of the Japanese pirate fleet, the three destroyers directly inserted into the flank of the Japanese pirate fleet, moving towards each other in a parallel orientation, sticking to the flank of the Japanese pirate fleet, and bombarded all the way.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Intensive artillery fire continued to erupt, sweeping all the way from the front of the Japanese pirate fleet. In less than ten minutes, more than a dozen ships in the front section of the Japanese pirate fleet were all blown to pieces.

The Japanese pirates have absolutely no power to fight back.

In the entire Japanese pirate fleet, only three Fran-machine-armed merchant ships were equipped with Fran-machine guns.

However... the Fran machine guns of this era, in terms of range, rate of fire and power, are completely incomparable with the rear-mounted rifled guns equipped by the Zhenhai destroyer.

The artillery technology that has been leading the world for 300 years, for the Japanese pirate fleet, is completely a dimensionality reduction attack.

The Fran cannon that fires solid bullets, even if it is a large-caliber heavy artillery, has a range of no more than 500 meters.

However, the rear-mounted rifled guns installed on Zhenhai-class destroyers have an effective range of at least two kilometers.

In this way, it becomes "I can hit you, but you can't hit me". The Japanese pirate fleet could only be beaten passively.

What's more, in the Japanese pirate fleet, most of the ships' fighting methods are still on the side, and they have no long-range attack capability at all.

So... after the destroyer blew up a dozen ships, the Japanese pirate fleet collapsed.

The ships turned around one after another, disbanded the formation, and fled each other in embarrassment.

"Want to run?"

Seeing that the Japanese pirate fleet had dispersed and fled in all directions, the naval officer Zhang Wei hurriedly ordered, "Disband the formation and pursue free pursuit!"

The three destroyers lined up in a battle line quickly disbanded and chased each other in the direction the Japanese pirates were fleeing.

Black smoke billows from the chimney, and the steam engine bursts with powerful power, driving the battleship to gallop across the sea.

The Japanese pirate's sailing ship, before even mentioning its speed, was caught up by the destroyer and beaten.

In the roar of artillery, Japanese pirates were constantly being sunk and exploded.

What made the Japanese pirates even more desperate was that a larger fleet appeared on the sea in the distance.

More than twenty small treasure ships, full of sails, were blocked on the outer sea.

This is helpless!

You can't fight, you can't run, you can't escape. The only thing that can be done is... Surrender!

Afterwards, the remaining 40 or so ships of the Japanese pirate fleet hung white flags and surrendered to Lu Li.

In fact, Lu Li was not interested in the Japanese captives, let alone capturing any prisoners. But...the ships of these Japanese pirates are still pretty good!

Several of these large ships can also enrich Luli's transport fleet. As for those small boats, whether they are given to Qi Jiguang or brought back to fishermen, they can all come in handy.

"Submit!"

Lu Li immediately gave the order, and the messengers raised their flags and began to accept the surrender of Japanese pirates.

Gathering the captive ships and salvaging the Japanese pirates who were still alive after falling into the water, Lu Li ordered the fleet to dock, disarm all the captives, and escort them ashore.

"See you Lord Hou!"

When Lu Li landed ashore, Qi Jiguang brought his generals to greet him and greeted Lu Li.

"Why should Yuan Jing be more polite? Hurry up and get up." (Qi Jiguang, character Yuan Jing)

Lu Li stretched out his hand to help Qi Jiguang up, and said with a smile, "This great victory is also due to Yuan Jing."

Afterwards, Lu Li camped in Linhai County, counted the captures, took prisoners of Japanese pirates, and reported his success to the report.

In this battle, the Ye Ma group of Japanese pirates who ravaged Zhejiang Province was directly destroyed, and even the leader of the Japanese pirates, Ye Ma, became a corpse.

From then on, the Japanese pirates who plundered the coast of Daming and wiped out another one.

So far, there are only three large-scale Japanese pirate groups left: Wang Zhibu, Xu Haibu and Xinwulang.

"Send the order, interrogate the prisoners! Torture the overseas station where the Japanese pirates are stationed."

It is not enough to destroy the living strength of the Japanese pirates. It is also necessary to completely destroy the base of the Japanese pirates and completely eradicate the future troubles.

In Luli's plan, Wanwan, Ryukyu, Qiongzhou, Luzon, Malacca, as well as Jeju Island in the north, and even the Ezo country in Hokkaido should all become the naval bases of Ming Dynasty.

For now, first clean up the Japanese pirates' stations on the coastal islands and reefs, completely eliminate the Japanese pirates, and then use the Japanese prisoners to build a naval base!

When Lu Li camped in Linhai County, counted the capture and took prisoners, the good news was also delivered to the capital court at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

"Victory at Linhai! Marquis Huating led his army to Taizhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province. In cooperation with Taizhou General Qi Jiguang, they exterminated the Japanese pirates Yema Bu in the sea off Linhai County. Killed 5,000 enemies, captured 3,000, sank 58 enemy ships, and captured them. Forty enemy ships killed the bandit leader Ye Ma."

This good news made the faces of Chaozhong and Shang all overjoyed.

Especially Xu Ge, who just took over as the first assistant, is very pleased with this. In the first battle to destroy the Japanese pirates Ye Mabu, Huating Hou really deserves to be a famous general in the world.

So, Mr. Xu Ge immediately asked the Emperor Jiajing for a decree.

Qi Jiguang was promoted to one rank and awarded the Taizhou Chief Soldier.

Lu Li's title and official position are very high, and this time, he only got some honorary rewards for his exploits in destroying thousands of Japanese pirates. Emperor Jiajing gave him a set of ceremonial staff and watches, as well as a few palace maids.

The behavior of sending a girl made Lu Li's face full of depression. What's wrong with being single? Do you need to keep sending girls to remind you?

Aside from these bullshit, Lu Li focused on his work.

The interrogation of the Japanese pirates went very smoothly, and there was absolutely no such thing as dying rather than yielding. After interrogating some big and small leaders of Ye Ma's department, Lu Li got a lot of information about Japanese pirates.

For example, the Japanese pirate Chen Dongfang, which Lu Li destroyed at the beginning, has begun to revive again. Chen Dong's younger brother, Chen Xi, raised a pole to recruit troops again, ready to take over Chen Dong's gun and continue his promising career as a Japanese pirate.

There are also overseas stations of the Japanese pirate Yema Department, the station bases of some leaders of the Wang Zhi Department and Xu Hai Department, and so on.

With this information, Lu Li's next work to suppress the bandits went much smoother.

Afterwards, Lu Li handed over the captured material and armor, more than 20 small sea ships, and more than 3,000 Japanese pirates prisoners to Qi Jiguang for disposal, and the army began to pull out the camp.

The army boarded the ship, and Lu Li took three destroyers, twenty transport ships, two French-armed merchant ships captured from the Japanese pirates, and twelve small treasure ships.

The resident of the Japanese pirate Ye Mabu is on the Yushan Islands off the coast of Ningbo. The resurgent Japanese pirate Chen Dongfang is based on Dachen Island off the coast of Taizhou.

Lu Li led the army to set off, first rushing to the nearest Dachen Island in Taizhou.

Taizhou Dachen Island in later generations is still a scenic tourist attraction. Today, this beautiful place has become a sinful place where Japanese pirates gather.

After a few hours of sailing, Lu Li's fleet had reached the waters near Dachen Island.

Holding the binoculars and looking from a distance, I saw a fortress standing on Dachen Island, and there was a harbor on the shore, where more than a dozen large ships were docked.

"Not bad!"

Seeing these dozen large ships, Lu Li smiled and nodded.

These ships are small treasure ships, they should be merchant ships that Chen Dongjia's younger brother Chen Xi snatched from Daming Maritime Merchant.

After destroying the Japanese pirates on Dachen Island, these small treasure ships were naturally surnamed Lu, and they could enrich the transport fleet under their command.

"Raise the battle flag and prepare for battle!"

With an order, the three leading destroyers accelerated with all their strength and rushed towards the Dachen Island port.

The transport fleet behind, carrying 5,000 "Marines", is preparing to land on the beach.

...

"The officers and soldiers are here! The officers and soldiers are here!"

When the three destroyers rushed towards the Japanese pirates harbor with black smoke, the Japanese pirates on the dock screamed in panic.

Panic indeed!

It has always been Japanese pirates who landed to fight Daming. Where have you seen Daming landing to fight Japanese pirates?

If the Japanese pirates still have training, they have never received such training!

Some people ran around in a panic, some people shouted and ran around, and the scene was chaotic.

Then... when the destroyer's naval guns slammed into the pier and blasted a team of Japanese pirates that Chen Xi had managed to organize into the sky, the Japanese pirates completely collapsed.

The beach landing of the "Marines" turned into an armed parade.

Five thousand soldiers rushed to the pier and aimed their guns... There were no enemies who dared to fight in front of them, only the routed soldiers fleeing in embarrassment.

It took longer to capture prisoners and count captures.

During the eradication of Dachen Island, Lu Li also saw a scene that made him angry.

In the Japanese pirates' camp, Lu Li saw hundreds of women who were barely clothed. These women were naturally snatched by Japanese pirates.

"General, you...why are you here now?"

Facing the painful cry of these women, Lu Li could only bow his head silently.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

Lu Li sighed, "As a Ming soldier, it's my fault that I didn't protect you! You've suffered, and I'll take you home!"

Hearing Lu Li's words, all the women cried in unison.

Family? They have long since gone home.

Even if their family members did not die in the looting of Japanese pirates, they would not be able to go back.

In today's Ming Dynasty, women are trapped in the hands of thieves, and the pressure of public opinion makes them unable to survive at all.

"I set up some weaving workshops in Songjiang Prefecture. In the future, you will settle in Songjiang Prefecture, work in the weaving workshops, and start your life again!"

To save people to the end, Lu Li naturally couldn't let these poor women who had just escaped from the sea of ​​misery be "socially killed" again.

Change the environment, forget this nightmare, and start life again!

In the future, this kind of thing will never happen again! In the name of Lu Li, I assure you that the Japanese pirates will be wiped out!
