Chapter 669: Humiliation

"Get on board!"

Hideo Toyotomi looked at the flagship in the harbor, which was nearly twice as large as the other warships. Read

The flagship was surrounded by other warships.

They became a protective barrier for the warship. Although the shells flew across, none of them landed on the flagship.

Since the artillery could not destroy the Yanzhou warship, he boarded his flagship and led the remaining Japanese warships to fight to the death with the Yanzhou fleet.

With his fists clenched tightly, he walked quickly towards his flagship.

Arriving at the harbor, he took a small boat to the bottom of his flagship and climbed onto the warship through a rope ladder.

At this moment, because the outer warships had suffered the attack of the Yanzhou fleet, the inner Japanese warships were still intact.

They were following Hideo Toyotomi's orders, raising the hard sails, sliding the oars, and heading towards the Yanzhou warship through the gaps between the warships.

After boarding the flagship, Toyotomi Hideyoshi pointed to the east and said to the captain: "Go full speed ahead. Japanese men must not die in the harbor in a cowardly way. Even if they die, they must die on the way to charge."

"Yes, General." The captain of the flagship shouted loudly.

Not long after, the flagship slowly moved.

At this moment, Zhou Yi stood on the deck of the flagship, observing the Japanese warships through a telescope, frowning slightly.

Sudden attack, the Japanese soldiers fell into chaos.

But soon, the Japanese soldiers were organized, and one Japanese warship after another raised hard sails, and rushed towards them under their gunfire.

However, this action was meaningless in front of them.

Thirty-two warships, thousands of cannons on the side kept pouring shells at them.

Because yellow gunpowder was put into use, the distance of their attack was far beyond the range of the Japanese cannons.

These Japanese warships had to travel a long distance forward before they could turn around and use their four cannons on the side to bombard the Yanzhou warships.

However, this process was enough for the Yanzhou warships to destroy these Japanese warships.

"These Japanese soldiers are well-trained and fearless." Zhou Yi put down the telescope, which was why he frowned.

Hearing this, Gong Ying said, "I heard that these Japanese people are brave and fierce. If they lose, they will commit suicide by disembowelment. They also claim to have the spirit of Bushido. I don't know how many Japanese people will commit suicide by disembowelment this time."

"You know a lot about Japan." Zhou Yi said.

Gong Ying shook his head, "General, you know that I used to be a guard of merchant ships at sea, so I naturally had to deal with pirates. I also heard what they said."

After a pause, he continued, "And among the pirates at sea, the Japanese pirates are the most cruel. When looting the coast, these Japanese pirates often massacre the villages they encounter, even three-month-old babies are not spared."

Zhou Yi nodded, "No wonder Your Highness is so vigilant about Japan. If they are given the opportunity to invade Dasong, the people will suffer."

Gong Ying agreed, "I think they are a greater threat than the Northern Di. The Northern Di are just swords, horses, bows and arrows, but if it weren't for Your Highness, Japan's firearms are much more advanced than Dasong. If they have evil intentions towards Dasong, the consequences can be imagined."

Zhou Yi immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "I really have to thank God for giving His Highness the King of Yan to Dasong. During this period, Japan's participation in the civil strife in Dasong proves that they have long coveted Dasong."

After the voice fell, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Dasong and Dongying had no grudges, and this country across the sea was plotting against Dasong like Beidi, which was simply courting death.

Thinking of this, he said: "Hit them hard, hit them until they are terrified and scared to pee their pants!"

"Yes, General." Gong Ying responded loudly.

The order was passed down, and the warships' artillery fire became more and more fierce.

One after another, hot bullets flew towards the Japanese warships in the port.

The Japanese warships rushing towards them were also bombarded very fiercely.

Thick smoke rose, wood chips flew everywhere, and the Japanese warships that rushed out of the port continued to sink.

These sunken warships gradually blocked the port, and the Japanese warships behind could not move.

On the Japanese flagship, Toyotomi Hide saw this scene and trembled with anger.

Soon, his flagship could rush out of the port and fight against the Yanzhou warship.

But at this moment, the warship in front of them was hit by dozens of shells, and suddenly exploded violently, and the broken hull blocked them.

This is the only way to get out of the port, because other places are also full of warships that are silently sinking or burning.

"General, we must leave the warship, otherwise we will become a target." The captain of the flagship grabbed Toyotomi Hide, and he had ordered people to lower the boat.

Toyotomi Hide gritted his teeth, very unwilling in his heart.

But he knew the captain was right.

The road in front was blocked, and the road behind was also blocked by the following warships. Their flagship could not move now.

And there were no other warships in front as a barrier. This huge flagship would definitely attract the attention of the Yanzhou warship.

Sure enough, just as he hesitated, a burst of fire came out of the Yanzhou warship across the sea.

Then, he saw dozens of red lines flying towards the flagship.

These red lines hit the mast, directly breaking the mast, and hit the hull, directly penetrating the hull.

More soldiers were directly hit by shells, their bodies were shattered, and blood and internal organs were smeared on the splints.

Still holding the determination to die, Toyotomi Hide's legs still couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Following the captain, he reached the side of the ship, went down the rope ladder to the small boat, and headed for the shore.

"King of Yan of Dasong, I will definitely avenge this." Looking at the burning Japanese warships on the sea, Toyotomi Hide's heart burned with rage.

Now, the warships of the Japanese navy are far inferior to those of Yanzhou, and they have suffered a sneak attack, and failure is doomed.

But the thirty-six sailing warships in Edo are being built, and it won't be long before these warships will be delivered to the Japanese navy.

At that time, he vowed to make the King of Yan pay ten times the price.

"Boom boom boom..." The sound of cannons on the sea was endless, and Toyotomi Hide was pulled away from the port by the navy generals.

They stopped one mile away from the port.

Looking at the warships that kept sinking in the port, he and all the Japanese generals chose to remain silent.

Now, he could do nothing but watch the Japanese navy destroyed in front of him.

He will remember this humiliation for the rest of his life until revenge.

In his heart, although the Western Fleet had also bombarded their warships,

But the strength of the Western Land is recognized, and they in Japan admire and obey from the bottom of their hearts.

But what is Dasong? To him, the King of Yan just got lucky and got the help of a missionary from the Western Land.

They in Japan will catch up soon and surpass Dasong in all aspects.
