Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 817: Power of Order

Half an hour later, nearly seventy warships of Xu Jun formed seven columns. Han Tong looked around and saw sails like clouds on the sea, ready to fight!

The sun and the southerly wind dispelled the fog. Perhaps the distance between the two sides was getting closer. In front of Han Tong's eyes, the enemy ship's sails were also huge! It was as if the entire surface of the sea was filled with sails.

At this moment, what he has most in his mind is no longer worry, but excitement!

The vast waves are endless, and on the magnificent fleet, the black muzzles of the artillery are showing some kind of power! Order, rules, destructive power, those unpredictable feelings strongly stimulated the emotions of Han Tong and the soldiers. Men seem to be instinctively manic about all this!

Han Tong stood on the wooden building at the stern of the ship, his muscles tensed| tense and he stood with his head held high, his eyes widened to feel the excitement at this moment. He couldn't suppress his emotions, and shouted: "The time has come to serve the emperor!"

For a moment, the "long live" shout on the Mulan ship rose with the wind, and the shout spread to the entire sea.

Loyalty is also the most important order in this era. At this time, Erlang is not willing to resist easily, but will consciously maintain this hierarchical order, just like filial piety.

Han Tong solemnly pulled out the saber from his waist, and the metal rubbed against the scabbard to make a special "silk" sound, which was murderous but full of texture. Although the sword is of little use to Master Han Tong, but he holds the weapon in his mind.

"Command!" Han Tong yelled, enjoying the pleasure of issuing orders and thousands of soldiers receiving his orders, "All ships line up to attack at full speed!"

Deep in the sea, the rising sun shrouded the halo in the mist on the faint land. A row of soldiers blew their horns, and the majestic and majestic drumming sounded slowly and powerfully. Facing the red sun, the yellow dragon flag on the Mulan "cracked" in the sea breeze, and the triangular flag also changed its arrangement.

The heavy Mulan giant ship broke through the waves, and the sound of "squeaking" of the white waves echoed with the shouts of the people, like a grand symphony.

Following the direction of the Kuroshio current is also a downwind!

Although the enemy army came into view half an hour ago, it took a long time to really get close. This long process gradually wore away the moment when Han Tong's emotions were high, and gradually calmed down.

A large number of ships of the Japanese army showed no sign of shifting direction or turning around, and their tactics were also very happy.

Han Tong said calmly, "What kind of general would show courage in such an unfavorable situation?"

After a long time, the fleets of both sides gradually approached! The warships deployed by the Japanese army were countless times that of Xu's army, because Xu's army was in seven columns, and there were only seven ships horizontally! The Japanese army formed an overwhelming force advantage on the left and right flanks. In fact, their number of ships was ten times that of Xu's army.

In front of the center, two Mulan ships side by side took the lead in rushing into the Japanese warship group with the wind! In a short while, countless enemy warships rushed towards Xu Jun's column head-on from the left, right and front.

"Swoosh..." Many nearby Japanese warships fired their arrows. Recently, some enemy soldiers with turbans or straw hats on their heads were eager to try with hooks and ropes.

The arrow feathers crackled and nailed to the side and deck of a Mulan ship. On the side of the cabin on the lower floor, a row of bright copper cannons were adjusting their direction, and the black muzzles revealed a murderous look.

Suddenly, there was a loud "boom"! The flames spewed out in the white smoke, and a ten-pound iron ball flew over the bow of an enemy ship and passed through the sails.

With a "bang", a large hole appeared on the deck of a Japanese warship, and pieces of wood flew around, everyone exclaimed, and screams and shouts came from below the deck. Some people were stunned, and before they came back to their senses, they found that the hull was tilting. Someone yelled in Japanese: "The bottom of the boat is broken! Hurry... Hurry up and block it!"

"Boom boom boom..." More than a dozen copper cannons on the starboard side of the Mulan ship fired one after another, and the entire sea outside seemed to be shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

As soon as the thunderous gunfire in the cabin passed, there was the sound of "cracking" iron chains dragging and grinding, the heavy copper cannon slid backwards, the rear seat rushed onto the iron-skinned wooden rails, and the muzzle tilted downward. It took a while for the recoil to subside. There was already a choking smell of gunpowder smoke in the cabin.

The general shouted: "Clean up the sparks and reload immediately!" The cabin was full of people and noisy.

The mother and child cannons above were also bang bang bang, and the boards on the heads of the sailors were shaking! The sound of the guns was very sudden, and the cannon on the port side also fired deafeningly. Apart from the loud shouts of the generals in the cabin, the noise of the people was also covered up.

The Mulan ship took the lead and rushed straight into the depths of the enemy group. A Japanese warship in front of it was not in a hurry to dodge, and the Mulan ship was approaching quickly with the wind and the current! "Ah..." The helmsman and a few soldiers stared forward with their eyes wide open. The commander on the ship tower shouted: "Bump!"

"Wow!" The people on the sun boat yelled in horror. A group of people didn't even care about bows and arrows, and some people's hands holding longbows were shaking! Everyone was yelling, staring at the huge ship in front of it approaching quickly... The underside of the bow was covered with iron sheets, and it was equipped with a sharp point like a plowshare!

The two Japanese soldiers under the mast turned their heads to look, while frantically pulling the hemp rope on the sail. But it was too late, and after a while, there was a loud "bang", a violent vibration and the sound of "click" wood breaking, and some people on the deck fell into the sea without standing still.

The Japanese ship completely lost control, and its weight was not on the same order as that of the Mulan ship. Immediately, it was driven by the huge inertia of the hull to float northward, and the hull was gradually pressed into the sea by the Mulan ship. A samurai knelt up from the sloping deck, threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, and hurriedly pulled out the short knife in his arms to cut the rope on the armor...

"Bang bang bang..." The blunderbuss fired again quickly, and the huge lead pellets hit the flanking Japanese warships, causing sawdust to fly, and the deck and hull were cracked and damaged by the dense lead bullets. People who were hit by the lead bullets screamed and struggled on the deck.

As soon as the Mulan ship sailed past, the light boat following it approached the injured enemy ship again, "Bang, bang, bang..." Gunpowder smoke rushed across the light boat, and lead shots roared in, hitting the wooden boat of the Japanese army in a mess, with many cracks and leaks on the board. The Japanese army on board had lost their ability to fight back, and those who were still alive were busy bailing out water with wooden buckets and repairing the hull.

However, the light boat that arrived later approached them ten steps away and fired a third round of artillery|fire at them! There were screams on the boat, blood flowed across the river, bows, arrows, and tools were thrown everywhere, and the hull was soaked in water and it was impossible to save! Those who survived by chance quickly removed all metal accessories on their bodies, preparing to fall into the water and escape.

On the surface of the sea, the heroic scene at this time has never been seen before!

The gunpowder smoke and fog in the air are mixed together, surging in Fengshui, and the large sails are like clouds. "Boom boom boom!" "Bang bang bang!" Amidst the smog, there were bursts of flashes everywhere, like thunder and lightning flashing in the clouds.

It seems that it is not mortal people who are active, but a scene created by natural divine power. Countless people are struggling and shouting helplessly amidst roaring and flickering.

Broken boards, canvases, and sundries floated on the surface of the sea, and many heads were heaving and shouting in the water, like refugees after an earthquake and flood.

Looking at the surrounding scene, Han Tong couldn't judge whether the Japanese army was vulnerable or brave and good at fighting... because their bows and arrows were almost no threat to Xu Jun, almost as if they were being bombarded in the face. But the Japanese army was still rushing to kill, with bows and arrows, and boarding, all rushed up!

An enemy ship successfully hooked a light boat, but the situation of a group of Japanese soldiers on the deck was horrible. First, they were blasted out of formation by the broadside guns below the deck of the light boat, and then ships in the adjacent column fired volleys of guns and arquebus for reinforcements. "Ahhh..." A Japanese soldier just wanted to jump onto the deck of Xu Jun's light boat, blood splashed on his back, and the samurai sword in his hand flew into the air, his whole body hit the ship's side, and rolled into the sea.

On the vast sea, Xu Jun's seven columns were shining with fire, and they penetrated directly through the middle of the Japanese fleet along the tide like a bamboo. Then following the southeast wind, the whole army turned around and broke through the Japanese army to the west.

It was not yet noon before the battle, and the Japanese fleet had completely lost its formation and control. It would be difficult for its general to order so many ships, and the sea was in chaos. A large number of Japanese warships on the west side fled and sailed away from the land of Kyushu.

Xu Jun pursued for half an hour, and saw that the Japanese army was only fleeing, and there were no ships to come up to fight, so he turned around and returned to the original warship. Han Tong wanted to kill the carbine and attack the east fleet again.

But at this time, most of the remaining ships of the Japanese army ran away!

The battlefield is full of people, and many people are holding planks and floating in the water, shouting.

Xu Jun's boat passed by, and many people swam towards the boat first, shouting at the deck. General Xu Jun couldn't understand what they said at all, so a row of matchlock guns appeared on the deck, "crackling..." The water splashed on the sea, and the people who fell into the water screamed everywhere. Xu Jun's firearms fired in unison in turn, the sound of gunfire continued, and the defeated soldiers in the Japanese army's sea were shouting and making noise everywhere.

Among the waves, countless people were jumping about in the mess and the rain of lead bullets. The surface of the sea seems to be the illusion of thunder and lightning and heavy rain, but in fact, the hazy sunshine in the clouds is shining on the sea; it also seems that the sea is boiled and the water surface is boiling.

On Xu Jun's flagship, Wen Wu watched the scene in front of him silently. Han Tong said angrily: "The commander of the Japanese army wants to do this himself, don't blame me, do you think I will be soft?!"

Lu Duosun said: "I don't think the Japanese army wants us to be lenient, but that the decisive battle can be won!"

Everyone gradually ended the war in a daze amidst the absurdity. After several months of preparation, it ended in half a day.
