Chapter 755: Final Battle!
"Go north!" Zhou Yi pondered for a while and gave the order. Read М
Going against the wind now is to seek death.
In the previous bombardment, the warships of both sides were damaged, but no fatal injuries occurred.
But if the other side seizes the advantage, his warships may not be able to hold on for a few more rounds of shelling.
Moreover, his goal is to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so there is no need to fight to the death.
Using the wind direction, going north all the way, you can distance yourself from the British warships.
Moreover, the sea between Japan and Goryeo is full of islands.
It is entirely possible for the fleet to use the islands to deal with them.
Under his order, the fleet changed from a horizontal one to a vertical one.
The fleets of both sides traveled parallel again, and while driving, the warships of both sides fired at each other again.
But this time the shelling was very short, and the fleets of both sides passed by each other.
When Zhou Yi and Wolfe were fighting wits and courage.
The Wu warships were in trouble.
Because they had to deal with 18 warships with all their strength.
Wolfe had no way to take care of the Wu warships.
And because of the full speed, the Wu warships were left behind.
When the right team was fighting the British, Gong Ying naturally had to perform his mission, which was to attack the Wu navy.
"Boom boom boom..."
The 18 warships of the left team were lined up in a row, and the cannons on the side kept hitting the Wu warships.
The cannons on the Wu warships were far inferior to those on the Yanzhou warships.
Their cannons were similar to the cannons that the King of Yan sold to the powerful families, and even two-thirds of them were purchased from Yanzhou.
One-third was forged and replaced by themselves.
The maximum range of these cannons was only eight or nine hundred meters, and the effective range was even smaller.
At this time, Gong Ying deliberately placed the Yanzhou warships at a distance of four hundred meters from the Wu warships.
The cannons of the Wu warships hit the Yanzhou warships, which basically could not cause much damage.
But the naval guns of the Yanzhou warships were different.
This heavy and long naval gun can fire shells about ten miles away.
It has great power within four hundred meters. As long as the shells hit the Wu warships, they will definitely smash the side walls of the warships.
Especially the incandescent shells, which can easily cause a fire after drilling into the hull.
So under the attack of the Yanzhou fleet, the Wu warships either sank or caught fire.
And because of their slow speed, they could not catch up with the Yanzhou warships and could not attack the Yanzhou warships like a pack of wolves.
At first, the Wu warships tried to fight the fleet led by Gong Ying.
But they found that the British ignored them and only fought with another Yanzhou fleet.
They immediately fell into chaos, some fled, and some hid in the bay.
There were still some warships that were still entangled with Gong Ying's fleet, but they were dealt with one by one.
At this time, Zhou Yi's fleet continued to go north and seemed to be at a disadvantage.
Gong Ying immediately gave up the entanglement with the Wu warships and chased northward...
While the battle at sea was going on.
The battle on the coast also began.
After bombing the trenches for another hour.
Zhao Xu ordered an attack on the East Tu coalition.
The soldiers of the Wangfu in the front trenches rushed out with grenades hanging on their waists.
They ran in an S-shaped route and saw flintlocks sticking out of the enemy's trenches.
They immediately lay on the ground and crawled on their stomachs.
Thirty meters away from the enemy's trenches, they untied grenades from their waists and threw them to the place where there were more flintlocks.
"Boom boom boom..." After a burst of explosions, the enemy's front trenches suddenly quieted down.
At this time, they got up and continued to rush forward.
The enemies in the trenches had not yet reacted when they saw the Yan Wang soldiers jump into their trenches.
"Ah..." The Japanese soldiers pounced on the Wangfu soldiers and immediately wrestled with each other.
The whole trench was in chaos.
Hiding in the narrow area of the trench, the soldiers of both sides could not shoot, and it suddenly turned into a hand-to-hand fight.
Holding bayonets, the two sides fought in the trench.
However, due to the bombardment of the howitzer, they were blown up again by grenades.
The number of enemies in the front trench was sparse.
The soldiers of the royal palace quickly occupied the first row of trenches.
Seeing the soldiers of the royal palace charging, the Japanese generals behind kept urging the soldiers to rush forward and replenish their forces.
However, everything was too late.
The soldiers of the royal palace who occupied the trenches kept throwing grenades into the vertical straight road.
A large number of Japanese soldiers were killed, and the bodies soon blocked the straight road.
Some Japanese soldiers climbed up the trench and tried to pass through it.
But the soldiers of the royal palace behind immediately raised their guns and fired.
"I surrender, I surrender!" During the fight between the two sides, the soldiers of the powerful clan kept kneeling down to surrender.
They found that the British warships had disappeared.
This made them feel like they had become abandoned children, and their fighting spirit disappeared immediately.
It is better to be a captive and return to Dasong than to die in a foreign land.
Therefore, they did not want to resist as strongly as the Japanese soldiers.
When the royal soldiers saw the soldiers of the powerful family surrendered, they ignored them and continued to fight with the Japanese soldiers.
As the first trench was breached, they occupied the second trench.
The royal soldiers in green uniforms kept crawling out of their own trenches and rushed to the enemy's trenches.
"Kill!"
The royal soldiers roared, and they rushed into the trenches with bayoneted muskets.
The Japanese soldiers rushed up, and they skillfully used bayonet techniques to fight with them.
The Japanese soldiers kept falling in a pool of blood.
Due to the fierce attack of the royal army and the use of convenient firearms such as grenades, the casualties of Japanese soldiers continued to increase.
The trenches were constantly occupied by the royal army, and the Japanese soldiers had to retreat to the seaside.
Without the shelter of the trenches, the Japanese soldiers became targets of the royal soldiers.
Many soldiers stood together and kept shooting at the Japanese soldiers.
Even though the Japanese soldiers were fierce, they faced the royal soldiers who were even more fierce than them.
The Japanese army was in chaos.
A large number of Japanese soldiers rushed to the docks and tried to board merchant ships to escape.
