Five hundred and fortieth chapters someone is looking for
On the Japanese pirate ship, some people thought that they should avoid the sharp edge. After all, in the past, these Japanese pirates could only bully the people of the Ming Dynasty along the coast. Every time they faced off against the Ming navy, they were completely defeated.
But some people also think that the reason why they lost to the Ming army in the past is because the Ming army bullied the smaller ones and never fought them one-on-one. They all think that as long as they fight one-on-one, they will not necessarily lose to the Ming army.
army, and now is the best opportunity. After all, there are not many opportunities to encounter a lone Ming army warship.
Before the Japanese pirates could reach a unified opinion, Han Du's warship rushed straight towards them.
Well, now there is no need to argue endlessly.
Use the knife and let's do it.
The arrival of Han Du indirectly unified the opinions of these Japanese pirates.
The battle at sea is not as bloody as the battle between two armies on the ground. When two armies on the ground face off, it will inevitably be a sword-to-flesh battle, with blood and sword light flying everywhere.
But when fighting at sea, the first thing you think about is not to chop the opponent with a knife. Instead, you think about how to lock the enemy's ship, jump over to it, and then kill.
He hesitated because the naval warships were taller than the Japanese pirate ships, so the Ming Dynasty had no way to hook the Japanese pirate ships with hooks. However, the Japanese pirates could easily hook the Japanese pirate ships.
Duh dunk, rows of hook locks were thrown up in an instant and hooked the navy warship.
The Japanese pirates began to hold their long knives in their teeth and climbed onto the Ming army's warships along the hooks and locks. Under the command of Jiang Ming, the navy officers had already stood on the edge of the ship, waiting in full formation.
Once the Japanese pirates climbed up, they would greet them with swords, spears, bows and arrows.
Of course, the Japanese pirates also had archers protecting the climbers.
Han Du saw several soldiers who had been slashed with swords and shot by arrows falling to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Angrily, he grabbed Jiang Ming's chest and shirt and shouted: "Are you an idiot? If you have a firecracker, you don't need a blunderbuss, but a knife?"
"Use a fire blunderbuss, let me shine it on the Japanese pirates." After saying this, Han Du pulled out two revolvers, rushed to the edge of the warship, raised his hand and shot two Japanese pirates who climbed up and knocked them into the sea.
When Jiang Ming saw Han Du rushing to the edge of the boat, he suddenly panicked and quickly stepped forward to pull Han Du back. With just one pull, Han Du's life was saved.
Before Han Du could raise his two guns and kill everyone, an arrow flew past Han Du.
If Jiang Ming hadn't helped him, Han Du would have been hit by the arrow. Even if he was lucky enough to escape, a wound would be torn open on his left arm by the arrow.
"Ah~hiss~" Han Du cried out in pain, and his left hand suddenly lost strength. He couldn't even hold the revolver and fell to the ground.
Jiang Ming quickly pushed Han Du to the deck and called out: "Uncle, uncle, are you okay?"
Han Du felt the burning pain on his arm and didn't want to speak at all.
Jiang Ming grabbed it and took a look, and saw that it was just a scratch, so he felt relieved and said, "Fortunately, the injury is not serious. Someone, come and treat the injury."
Although Han Du was injured, his words still had an effect. The soldiers abandoned their swords, took out their revolvers, and hit the Japanese pirates head-on.
With the advantage of the revolver's continuous fire, it is simply a dream to climb from the bottom up to the warship. However, in a moment, all the Japanese pirates on the hook lock were knocked into the sea. Even the archers on the Japanese pirate ship,
They were also named one by one by Zuolun.
The Japanese pirates had never encountered such a violent firearms attack, and they suffered heavy losses for a while. Once they were defeated, the Japanese pirates wanted to escape. They directly released the hook lock and broke away from the Ming army's warships.
Can Jiang Ming make the fat in his mouth fly away? He directly commanded the warship to pursue and kill the Japanese pirates one by one. The remaining Japanese pirates had to hide below the deck, preparing to kill the Ming army who boarded the ship.
One blow.
But Jiang Ming did it more simply. He did not send people on board at all, but directly sent people to cut open the Japanese pirates' ships. By the time the seawater poured into the Japanese pirates' ships, the Japanese pirates had too late to react.
Normally, the Japanese pirates could have taken the opportunity to find a piece of wood to escape from the sinking ship. However, under the pursuit of the Ming Navy, every one who came out would be killed.
After several deaths in succession, the Japanese pirates did not dare to come out again. They could only watch and follow the ship as it slowly sank into the sea.
Jiang Ming stood at the bow of the ship and inspected it for a while. After seeing that no one emerged from the sea, he commanded the warship to leave the warship.
On the undulating blue sea, except for a few broken wooden boards, there was no one or anything left.
Although naval battles are not as bloody as land battles, they are more brutal than land battles. When two armies fight on the ground, even if one party loses, at least part of it can escape. But in the sea, once defeated, the whole ship will be destroyed.
The army was annihilated. Not even a trace of the existence of these people could be found anymore.
After wiping out all the Japanese pirates, the journey back was smooth sailing, and we never encountered any Japanese pirates or storms again.
After Han Du returned, he discovered that another ship had returned long ago.
"Uncle, you are finally back. If you don't come back, the generals will come looking for you." Zhang Chao said with a smile when he saw the joy on Jing Haibo's face.
Han Du didn't stop. He looked at the other warship and sighed casually: "It turns out that Uncle Ben is still worried about them. I didn't expect that they would come back before Uncle Ben."
"Yes, they were lucky. Not only did they come back early, but they also wiped out the Japanese pirates who escaped." Zhang Chao was also in a good mood. On the vast sea, he encountered a violent storm and was able to catch up with the Japanese pirates after the storm.
, is also luck.
Jiang Ming also laughed and said to Zhang Chao: "The last general and Jing Haibo also encountered Japanese pirates."
"Oh?" Zhang Chao was surprised, "How is it possible to encounter Japanese pirates at the same time?"
Encountering Japanese pirates at the same time and not coming back at the same time, one of them must be telling lies. Zhang Chao couldn't help but frown. Jiang Ming and his uncle were on the same boat, so naturally they wouldn't tell lies. Could it be that the other one was on the same boat?
The news about the ship is false?
Lying about military merit is a serious crime. Thinking of this, Zhang Chao couldn't help but his face darkened.
Jiang Ming waved his hand to stop Zhang Chao's random thoughts and explained: "It's not what you think. The Japanese pirates encountered by the general and uncle were not the ones who escaped from here."
"That's it." After hearing Jiang Ming's explanation, Zhang Chao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't lie about his military exploits.
"By the way, uncle, the person delivering the decree in the palace has been waiting for a long time." Zhang Chao said as he walked.
Lao Zhu is looking for me?
When Han Du heard this, he couldn't help but stop. Logically speaking, since it was Lao Zhu who asked him to fish, he probably wouldn't look for him since there was nothing particularly important.
