Steel Dynasty - Chapter 729

[Chapter 728 Fire Attack Ship]

The sea wind roared, and Yue Yun’s hair was blown up.

He straightened his blue navy robe and gently touched the navy badge on his shoulder with his fingers. On this badge, a sailing warship was moving forward against the huge waves.

Three months ago, their navy did not have military uniforms. All the money in the treasury was used by Niu Ben on the army. He had been jealous of the military uniforms for a long time and made a fuss in the newly established military aircraft department. The military aircraft department reported it to the emperor.

So the matter of navy uniforms was approved, but now only some generals have regular military uniforms, while others still dress as ordinary people.

But the good news is that at least the Marine Corps has its own uniform.

“Xie Yuan is right. The British are indeed difficult to deal with. It was just a fluke that I came back alive that time.” Yue Yun said seriously: “But don’t be afraid. If you encounter British warships, just hit them hard. British warships always It is the tradition of their navy to fight whenever they encounter an enemy. If you want to defeat them, you have to be more ruthless than them. “

Liu Chen and other generals nodded after hearing this.

At this time, Xie Yuan suddenly said: “By the way, I met people from the shipyard yesterday and overheard them saying that the shipyard is now trying to build a brand new warship. I don’t know if it is true or not.”

“A brand new warship. “The naval generals were most interested in this. They asked: “What kind of warship?”

“I didn’t hear this clearly, but it is true.” Xie Yuan assured him, patting his chest.

Yue Yun frowned and brought the topic back to normal, “We are discussing the war in Goryeo now. What are you doing!”

Liu Chen and Xie Yuan laughed twice and immediately shut up.

Yue Yun didn’t say anything, but he was also looking forward to this new type of warship in his heart. He suppressed the excitement and continued: “It is easy to annihilate the Koryo navy this time, but it is difficult to let the King of Koryo open the port. Koryo is now the same as the barbarians. As long as he thinks that the barbarians are more powerful than our country, Goryeo will act as the barbarians’ vicious dogs and bite us.”

“In this case, why should we be polite to them and just smash their dog teeth?” Liu Chen shouted.

“Breaking the dog’s teeth is not enough. Goryeo has been able to be so rampant these years because of the master behind them. This time I will make them understand that the barbarians can’t protect him. In this case, Goryeo will succumb.” Yue Yun said.

The generals nodded.

After talking for a while, Yue Yun saw the sunset. At this time, he asked the generals to go back and rest. They were about to face a naval battle, so they had to keep their spirits up.

The south wind was howling, and for the fleet, the two-hundred-mile journey only took one night. When everyone woke up the next day, the coastline gradually came into view.

Yue Yun had already woken up, and he was observing the situation ahead with a telescope.

According to the information provided by Wang Xuan, the only remaining warships of Goryeo are gathered in Haigu City. These warships are small in size and are small warships compared with their warships.

Moreover, the intelligence said that some Goryeo warships have been equipped with artillery provided by the barbarians, but the number is not large.

Yue Yun was a little worried about this. Artillery appeared in the Chongqing Kingdom for only five years, but in the past five years, artillery spread very quickly.

First, the barbarians mastered artillery, and then Goryeo also mastered artillery.

He believed that the Japanese invasion of Goryeo would soon make Goryeo soldiers armed with muskets.

Thinking of this, Yue Yun looked solemn, and the enemies were not fools. If there were changes in the country of Chongqing, they would also respond according to the changing situation.

“Sign up and ask Liu Chen and Xie Yuan to lead the warships to bypass from both sides.” Put down the telescope and Yue Yun looked serious.

“Yes.” The deputy general ordered and turned around and left.

Under Yue Yun’s order, the battleships headed for Haigu City in three directions.

At the same time, the Koryo Navy in Haigucheng also discovered the battleship group at sea. At this time, the Koryo soldiers on guard immediately headed towards the navy camp.

“General Park, there are many warships on the sea. They appear to be warships from the Great Chongqing Kingdom.” A navy general said anxiously.

Park Jung-tai is the commander of the Goryeo Navy. After hearing this, he immediately walked out of the camp and went to Haigu Pier. As the soldiers said, the forty-eight warships were now outflanking them from three directions.

“The king should never give this royal order.” Pu Zhengtai had a hint of anxiety in his eyes. As the commander of the navy, he naturally knew how powerful the warships of the Chongqing Kingdom were.

Now they finally struck back from the sea.

“General, what should we do now?” a group of generals asked.

Park Zhengtai sighed, the war between Goryeo and Japan had just ended, and now the King of Goryeo had attracted a more terrifying opponent.

But now Goryeo has no way out, they can only fight.

“Order all soldiers to get on board.” Park Zhengtai shouted, he had already made up his mind.

The generals had different expressions upon hearing this, some responded and left, while others looked hesitant and timid.

But with Park Jung-tai, a veteran, no one dared to disobey and had no choice but to obey the order and leave.

At sea, Yue Yun’s warship was getting closer and closer to Haigu City. Yue Yun said to the deputy general at this time; “Put down the fire attack ship. There are many Korean warships on the dock. It is the time to use it.”

“Yes, general.” After receiving the order, the crew immediately lowered the boats one by one from the ship.

These boats contained kerosene and gunpowder barrels, and the tops were covered with a layer of thatch.

After the ship was lowered, the soldiers threw the torches on the ship and let the fire attack ship float with the wind to the dock of Huangu City.

After Yue Yun lowered the fire attack ships, other warships also lowered the fire attack ships. Soon, there were dozens of fire attack ships in the sea.

These fire attack ships rushed towards Haigu City like a small fleet.

Yue Yun stared at these fire attack ships with a telescope. As he studied naval tactics, he learned many methods of warfare.

This fire attack on the ship was a method he learned based on the cases in the book.

Blown by the sea breeze, the fire attack ships entered the Haegu City port at an extremely fast speed. More than thirty fire attack ships loaded with gunpowder entered the gaps between the Korean Navy warships one by one. Some of them stopped when they hit the warships. Coming down, the flames on the ship continued to burn the hull of the Goryeo warship.

“Quickly put out the fires on these boats.”

In a hurry, the Korean Navy was now in a mess. When they saw these burning boats floating over, they instinctively went to put out the fires.

But when the soldiers poured water on the fire attack ship, they suddenly discovered that a huge flame suddenly burst into flames on the ship.

What they don’t know is that every fire attack ship is loaded with tung oil. When water touches the oil, it will only produce bigger sparks like when cooking.

While they were confused, the huge flames caused the boat to burn farther away, and with a loud noise and a huge flame, it rose into the sky.

The fire attack ship exploded.
