The flags and sails of the Ming Navy fluttered, and the three main ships were as majestic as gods descending. Their black cannons aimed at the Wei Nation port.
Zhu Yijun stared at the Japanese ships from the main ship. He had a deep memory of these Japanese ships. He had fought with the Japanese pirates for more than ten years, and tens of thousands of his brothers had died.
Those pirates took these ships and broke into the Ming customs!
The main ship's cannons were on both sides. If they wanted to fire at full power, they had to place the warship horizontally.
The three main ships lined up in a straight line and aimed their side cannons at the Wei Nation port.
The cannons that the pirates called the Devil's Cane were aimed at the port.
Some crazy pirates boarded the Japanese ships with the Bushido spirit and rushed towards the Ming Navy. These pirates wanted to rely on the Bushido spirit to defeat the Ming Navy.
Qi Jiguang looked at the small fishing boats that were speeding over and revealed a contemptuous smile.
" Such a disorganized navy can't form a battle force at all…"
Although there were two to three hundred Japanese ships charging at them, these ships were small and narrow. Each ship only had about thirty people. These Japanese pirates carried bows and arrows on their backs and held samurai swords.
Those small boats could not even withstand the recoil of a cannon.
The Ming Navy's cannons had a maximum range of 6 nautical miles, and 4 nautical miles was the range that the cannons could cover indiscriminately.
Of course, the range of the current cannons was still too short and could not be compared to the cannons of the future.
In the future, the range of cannons exceeded 40 nautical miles…
If it was a propulsion type cannon, its range would exceed a hundred miles…
As for missiles, they were a thousand miles long. The range of intercontinental missiles was 8000 miles…
Although the cannon of Qi Jiguang's flagship only had a range of 6 nautical miles, it was already the most powerful firearm in this era. The composite bow used by the pirates only had a range of 150 to 300 meters…
……
"Main cannon! Open fire!"
When these small boats were still 4 nautical miles away from the warship, Qi Jiguang had already ordered to fire!
Boom!
The main ship of the Great Ming Navy was knocked back by the huge impact, and the cannons spewed out terrifying flames and smoke!
Zhu Yijun could see clearly on the mini-map that the two solid iron balls the size of fists were burning red from the terrifying friction. They kept burning as they spun…
The Japanese ships were still charging forward. They heard the thunderous sound of cannons. When they looked up, the terrifying shells had already fallen beside them.
After the shell fell into the water, it created a huge wave. The ship was unstable, and a Japanese pirate fell into the water…
Before the others could save the pirate, the terrifying artillery shells had already fallen like meteors!
Boom!
One of the Japanese ships was hit by a cannonball and broke in an instant. The Japanese pirates who were hit by the iron ball instantly turned into meat paste. After the Japanese ship was broken, the Japanese pirates did not have time to escape and were hit by the cannonballs that fell one after another.
As long as they touched it, it would be a bloody mess.
Zhu Yijun closed his eyes as he watched the cruel battle in the palace.
I didn't want to go to war. It was too cruel.
The 300 Japanese ships were unable to block the cannonballs. They were still four nautical miles away from the Ming Navy. Even if they were not attacked, they would still need five minutes to row.
However, despite being so far away, they had already suffered a devastating attack.
……
The ocean was instantly dyed red. The wreckage of the broken wooden ship floated on the surface of the sea, rising and falling.
Two waves of artillery shells landed, and more than half of the 300 Japanese ships were destroyed. The remaining Japanese pirates fled frantically.
They screamed miserably. No one knew what they were crying about, but their faces were filled with fear and the fear of death!
Qi Jiguang stood on the main ship and did not even blink. From such a distance, he could only vaguely see the Japanese warships being destroyed by the shells, but he could not see clearly how much they were destroyed.
After the Wei Nation soldiers fled to the port, Qi Jiguang ordered the navy to pursue them.
Destroying some Japanese ships was not Qi Jiguang's goal, he wanted to severely damage the Wei Nation's fishing industry, so that the Wei Nation could not go out to sea!
The Great Ming Navy brought along the might of the heavens and headed towards the Wei Nation.
The Wei Nation was terrified…
All the Wei Nation fishermen were in a state of panic!
……
In Tanggu Palace, Zhu Yijun received a system notification.
Destroy the pirate ship, experience increased by 0.1…
Destroy the pirate ship, experience increased by 0.1…
Destroy the pirate ship, experience increased by 0.1…
Destroy the pirate ship, experience increased by 0.1…
Zhu Yijun's heart was filled with anticipation. Destroying the Japanese ships would give him 0.1 experience points. Then, if he took down the Japanese pirates, how much experience would he get?
Right now, the Ming Navy and the Wei Nation had yet to engage in a large-scale war, so these destroyed Japanese ships were just small scale skirmishes.
……
In the capital.
Gao Gong and Zhang Ju were handling government affairs and reviewing the memorials submitted by the ministers.
If it wasn't something important, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng would have discussed it and issued a decree. Only when it was something important would they look down on the Emperor.
While Gao Gong was resting, a memorial from the north of Liao was delivered to the cabinet.
Gao Gong opened the memorial and saw that it was from Hai Rui, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works.
After Gao Gong opened the memorial, he was overjoyed!
