Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Huashan Jiulang has received news that Tsushima Island was captured by Korean soldiers, and his younger brother Huashan Jiusou died in battle.

As a Japanese soldier, Huashan Jiusou was actually killed by the North Koreans.

Huashan Jiulang told Huashan Jiulang that his death is not a pity, but the key is that losing to the North Korean soldiers is the greatest shame.

Because Lu Aiguo divided the fleet into three teams, Huashan Jiulang got the information that North Korea only had [-] warships.

With the fighting power of the Japanese, the sixty warships of the Korean soldiers are nothing at all, and they will definitely be defeated in one blow.

When Li Dongyang led [-] warships and encountered Japanese warships in the Osumi Strait, a fierce artillery battle immediately broke out between the two sides.

These North Korean soldiers are indeed brave, and the quality of the Ming warships is also very good, but most of them are in the army and have no experience in naval warfare.

Even Lu Aiguo is the same, he is also a strong general in the army.

Li Dongyang is considered the best general in North Korea who is good at naval warfare, but his navy has only been trained for a few months.

The Japanese navy is obviously much better than the North Korean soldiers in terms of driving battleship technology and naval gun shooting.

With the same number of warships, the sixty warships led by Li Dongyang suffered a big loss.

In a morning naval battle, ten Ming warships were sunk, while only three Japanese warships were sunk.

"Pass my order, and the other two fleets will quickly join the battle. They can capture the opponent's warships and try not to sink them. We need their large warships."

Huashan Jiulang immediately ordered the other two warships to join the battle, trying to defeat the Korean navy in one fell swoop.

The Japanese warships in three directions quickly encircled the Korean warships, and the small and flexible turtle ships took the opportunity to approach the Korean warships.

There are not many large Japanese warships, and it was Huashan Kuro's order to capture large sailing warships.

But it is more difficult to sink the sailing warship where the North Korean soldiers are located than to capture them.

These North Korean soldiers held flintlock guns and fired desperately, preventing the Japanese from boarding the ship at all.

In the past, the Japanese were the dominant side in side-to-side battles, but Huashan Jiulang found that today's situation has reversed.

Japanese soldiers actually suffered a large number of casualties in the side-to-side battle with North Korean soldiers.

Helpless, Huashan Jiulang had no choice but to send an order to tentatively approach the Korean warship, but to retreat and start shelling.

As a result, the Japanese bombarded those who were far away, and used rockets when they were close.

All that he couldn't get was sunk and burned. This is what Huashan Jiulang thinks at this time. He doesn't think he will lose to the North Koreans.

But just when he thought the victory was certain, the fact that he didn't expect happened, more than 100 Ming warships joined the battle.

It was the large fleet led by Lu Aiguo who came, and they surrounded the Japanese warships to fight back.

Facing the overwhelming bombardment, Huashan Jiulang was dumbfounded.

The shooting skills of these North Korean soldiers are not good, but after all, there are so many shells, and some shells will always bombard the Japanese warships.

"Boom bang..."

Under the continuous bombardment of the Ming army, three Japanese warships were sunk.

Huashan Jiulang is worthy of being a battle-tested general. If he saw something bad, he immediately sent an order

"Quickly, concentrate the warships to get the upper hand and bombard the flagship of the Ming army!"

After receiving the order, the Japanese warships immediately braved the bombardment of the Ming army's warship artillery, and quickly took the lead.

Under the artillery fire of the Ming army, the Japanese naval warships quickly took the lead and succeeded.

At that time, they were all sail warships, and the movement of warships depended entirely on the wind. Once the Japanese had the upper hand, their artillery shooting skills were immediately apparent.

With a small number of warships, they even relied on precise bombardment to beat the Ming warship controlled by the Korean soldiers into a panic.

At that time, they were all solid bullets. It was not easy to sink fifty warships, but the Ming warships still suffered a lot.

"Captain, our artillery shooting skills are not as good as Little Japan's. If we continue to fight like this, we will definitely fail."

Seeing that his warships were shot one after another, and it was difficult for his own artillery to hit the Japanese warships, Li Dongyang immediately asked Lu Aiguo for instructions.

As the supreme commander of the Korean army, fighting the Japanese at sea really made it difficult for Lu Aiguo.

But he will never disappoint the emperor's expectations, even if the entire Korean army is wiped out, he will fight to the death with Little Japan.

Lu Aiguo looked at the Ming warship, which was bombarded by Japanese naval guns with sawdust flying all over the place, and his heart skipped a beat:

"Come here, according to the order of the governor, the fleet fanned out and rammed the Japanese warship at full speed. No matter how much the price was paid, the small Japanese warship must be sunk."

Li Dongyang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the governor to fight so hard, and said hastily:

"Captain, this loss is estimated to be huge."

Lu Aiguo waved his hand:

"Can we still retreat? More than 200 warships lost to [-] Japanese warships. The governor will never retreat, and immediately execute the order. Anyone who disobeys will be punished on the spot."

"Yes"

Hearing the governor's resolute tone, Li Dongyang didn't dare to say another word, and immediately conveyed Lu Aiguo's order.

More than 100 Ming warships, under the driving of the Korean soldiers, suddenly stopped firing, but quickly charged towards the Japanese fleet formation.

"My lord, what do you think the North Koreans want to do? Do they feel that they are too far away from being beaten, and they are going to be sent to our guns to die?"

Seeing more than 180 warships rushing towards them suddenly, the Japanese captain hurriedly reported to Kuro Huashan.

The old and cunning Huashan Jiulang saw through Lu Aiguo's intentions at a glance, but he didn't believe that the Korean soldiers had such courage.

So Huashan Jiulang sent an order:

"My lord ordered me to hit the artillery fire and bombard the Ming warships rushing forward. As long as a few ships are sunk, the warships behind will never dare to approach."

"Hi"

Huashan Jiulang gave an order, and the Japanese warship hit the Ming warship that was rushing forward with artillery fire.

It is impossible for a solid bullet to sink a large sailing warship in a short time.

The distance between the two sides was only about 700 meters. Although the Japanese warships fired fiercely, they only sank three Ming warships, and the huge Ming fleet hit them violently.

"Eight grids... quickly turn the rudder to dodge, now we have the advantage, and we cannot die together with the humble North Korean soldiers..."

"Boom bang..."
