Amidst the rumble of war drums, the Tang navy set off to fight.
There are still more than a hundred battleships, and there are still more than 10,000 Datang Navy soldiers.
It was almost exactly the same as the last battle, but the atmosphere was completely different.
The spirit of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty Navy was completely different this time. Each of them had a ferocious smile on their face, as if they had some confidence to kill and win.
The Japanese warships were approaching from afar, and the first few small black dots on the horizon slowly turned into a large one, like a swarm of passing locusts rushing toward mature crops.
The dark fleet shrouded the sea like a dark cloud. As the distance got closer, the dark cloud became larger and larger.
Master Sun Ren was wearing armor and standing on the flagship tower, holding a small black flag in his hand and waving the flag to the messengers downstairs.
"Send the order, the Chinese army presses forward, and the long snake moves away!"
The sound of gongs, drums, horns, and rhythms of varying lengths conveyed Master Sun Ren's orders to each battleship...
More than fifty Tang Dynasty warships slowly turned their rudders on the sea, with one side of the ship's side lying across the sea, facing the approaching Japanese boats.
"Send the order, and the left and right wings will penetrate directly from the sides to form a three-sided pincer formation against the enemy."
The warships on the left and right wings sailed slowly from both sides in accordance with the order.
"Command, the musketry battalion is arrayed on the deck, wearing heavy armor and filling with gunpowder pellets."
"Send the order, wait for the enemy to penetrate deeply, and the rear army will outflank it from the east and cut off the enemy's retreat. Don't let go of a single enemy ship today!"
Orders were issued one after another, and the Tang Dynasty Navy arranged their formations in an orderly manner and in accordance with Sun Renshi's will.
The war is about to break out.
In this naval battle, the formation of the Tang Dynasty navy had obviously changed. It was surrounded and encircled on all sides. This was decided after Sun Renshi and Liu Rengui discussed and practiced.
With firearms and without firearms, the formation is very different.
In this battle, the enemy was still outnumbered, but the Tang Dynasty navy was like a lion fighting a rabbit. With more than 170 warships, it wanted to swallow more than a thousand Japanese warships in one go.
The Japanese coach on the opposite side was surprised when he saw that the Tang Dynasty navy had a different formation than before. However, at this moment, the arrow was already on the string and he could not change his tactics temporarily.
More importantly, Japanese boats are like ants eating elephants, and wolves eating tigers. They have this and only one tactic, and this tactic has proven to be effective, and there is no need to change it.
Li Qinzai was also standing on the deck of the flagship, with no nervous expression on his face. While looking at the two armies slowly approaching in the distance, he was still busy with his hands.
Li Sujie was not nervous either. Rather than saying that he had confidence in the Tang Dynasty Navy, it was better to say that he had more confidence in the three-eyed gun made by his husband. He was almost blindly convinced that this battle would be won.
His eyes focused on Li Qinzai's hand.
"Sir, what did you do?" Li Sujie approached curiously.
Li Qinzai said calmly: "A gadget, a magnet, have you heard of it?"
"Of course I've heard of it. That thing is very interesting and can absorb iron." Li Sujie stared at his hand and said, "But what did you build?"
"We have a Sinan car on our flagship. Do you know what it is used for?"
"I know, it's used to identify the direction and prevent the fleet from getting lost at sea." Li Sujie showed an aggrieved look: "Sir, my disciple is not that stupid. Your question is too simple."
Li Qinzai raised his head and glanced at him, saying: "You look aggrieved now like a mentally retarded person. Put your expression away and don't be so effeminate."
Holding up a small disc-shaped magnet, Li Qinzai said: "This is a portable small compass in my hand. It can be carried with you. It is much more convenient than the bulky Sinan car on the flagship."
"Sir, what is the use of making this thing?" Gu
"It's used to distinguish between mentally retarded and normal people. Look, its arrow is pointing at you. Do you know what it means?"
Li Sujie was silent for a moment and pointed at his nose: "Is this disciple mentally retarded?"
"You have a very clear understanding of yourself. This is an advantage. Remember to keep it."
There was a sudden loud roar on the sea in the distance. Li Qinzai put away the compass, stood up, and blurted out: "The fighting has begun!"
Li Sujie glanced at it lightly and said: "My master Wang is bound to win. Today I will watch Grand Manager Sun make great achievements and watch the things he created show off their power."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked hard on the buttocks. Li Sujie staggered and said in shock: "Why did you kick this disciple?"
Li Qinzai said calmly: "I should be the one to pretend to be this bitch. Your indifferent and wise appearance of an outsider is very annoying."
…………
On the sea, the two fleets were engaged in battle.
This time, the Tang navy showed an overwhelming advantage and almost chased the small boats of the Japanese fleet.
One key to the wolf-eating-tiger tactic is that it must be in contact. A dozen small boats surrounded the big ship, approaching from all directions regardless of sacrifice, boarding the ship, and engaging in hand-to-hand combat. They swallowed the soldiers on the big ship one by one.
But this time, the Japanese boat could not get close at all.
Rows of musketeers were already lined up on the Tang warships, each holding a three-eyed gun. Once the Japanese boat came within fifty steps, there would be a volley of fire.
The three-eyed gun was extremely powerful, and the deck of the Japanese boat was not very large. If one shot was fired, the casualties would be numerous.
After two rounds of volleys, almost all the Japanese thieves on the boat were killed or injured. Those who were lucky enough to survive were so frightened that they jumped into the sea to escape in panic.
The purpose of the long snake formation arranged by Master Sun Ren was to make all the three-eyed muskets of the musket battalion point outwards in unison, forming a dense fire net. The Japanese boat had no chance of getting close under such a fire net. As long as it entered the distance of fifty steps,
The thief was turned into a hornet's nest.
White smoke continued to rise on the sea, and the sound of falling water and desperate screams were heard constantly.
In this era where hot weapons should not have appeared, Li Qinzai built them with his own hands.
Then, thermal weapons appeared for the first time in the war, and the attack on the enemy was in a reduced-dimensional manner. The Japanese country's more than a thousand small boats had no power to fight back in the rounds of salvos.
Li Qinzai quietly watched the tragic scene on the sea in the distance, his heart turbulent.
More than a thousand years later, in the face of the guns of the European and American powers, that ignorant foreign dynasty also so tragically rushed towards the enemy with bows and swords without hesitation. Those tragic and never-returning scenes are so similar to the scene before us.
.
Fortunately, the great power this time was Datang.
Those who fall behind can only be beaten, this is an eternal truth.
The battlefield situation gradually changed, and the Tang Navy had secured victory.
One after another Japanese boats were emptied, and Japanese pirates screamed and fell down or fell into the water. The commander of the Japanese navy was in despair. He still couldn't figure out what went wrong with the wolf-eating-tiger tactic that was obviously invincible.
Why did today's battle end so miserably?
On the flagship, Sun Renshi's face turned red. Today's battle was so smooth that even he did not expect it.
The first battle of Hot Weapons has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
The messenger rushed from the deck and saluted Master Sun Ren at the top of the building.
"Reporting to the General Manager, the Japanese fleet has begun to retreat."
Master Sun Ren excitedly slapped the railing and shouted: "Send the order for the rear army to cut across to the rear of the Japanese pirates and swing out to cut off the enemy's retreat. In today's battle, not a single enemy ship is allowed to escape. It violates military law."
