The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 429 Master Ye’s mysterious private lesson, Zhu Yuanzhang also wants to take it, Wang Baobao’s wonderful use on ships and cannons!

Under the sunlight, the hidden carving on the nine-ring sword in Wang Baobao's hand shone with dazzling golden light.

There are hidden golden carvings on both sides of his blade!

On one side of the blade is a relatively old hidden engraving in Mongolian: King of Qi in the Yuan Dynasty—Expanded Profile Timur!

On the other side of the blade, it was carved by himself after he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and accepted the title. He wrote in Chinese: General of the Ming Dynasty—Wang Baobao!

"Tick!"

The blood of the Japanese slave was still dripping down the tip of the knife.

Every time a drop of Japanese slave blood dropped, a Japanese soldier noticed the general wearing general armor who was guarding the entrance to the bottom cabin.

"This is the enemy marshal, kill him!"

"idiot!"

A succession of Japanese soldiers, holding swords in both hands, roared and rushed towards Wang Baobao.

The soldiers who had been responsible for protecting Wang Baobao could only turn their heads and look at him. They could do nothing but stare at him with wide eyes in fear.

Because they couldn't get away at all, both generals and soldiers were engaged in hard hand-to-hand combat.

Either they were chopping with knives, or they were smashing things with each other, or they were fighting with fists and feet, or they were strangling each other's necks.

On this battlefield composed of various ship decks, the only one who did not participate in the battle was the flag soldier who stood tallest and could not participate in the battle!

Seeing so many Japanese soldiers rushing towards their marshal, the banner soldiers were so anxious that they wanted to pull out the sword from their waist and go down to help.

But Wang Baobao, as if he knew what he was going to do in advance, shouted directly: "Don't come down, stick to your position."

"This handsome man can't die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he also raised the nine-ring sword in his hand!

The flagman watched this scene condescendingly, watching his marshal fight hand-to-hand with the enemy soldiers who rushed over one after another.

In the eyes of the flag soldiers, Wang Baobao held a short-handled sword that was too heavy for ordinary people, but it was much smoother than the narrow-body saber in the hands of ordinary generals.

Not only is it flexible in attack and defense, it is also truly as fast as the wind, as fast as lightning, and also powerful and heavy.

There are no tricks in his sword skills, and it can be said that his sword skills only have eight moves that are defined as 'basic skills'.

These eight sword skills are chopping knife, machete, lifting knife, hanging knife, stabbing knife, spatula, brain-wrapping knife, and head-wrapping knife!

Although he only had these eight moves, he combined his skills, strength, and speed to the extreme, at least to what he thought was the ultimate!
The flag-whispering soldiers only saw the flash of swords, only the firelight splashing, only the blood flying everywhere, and only the arms, legs, heads, as well as organs and flesh flying all over the sky.

All he could hear were the heart-rending screams of the Japanese soldiers.

By chance, he also saw Wang Baobao's face covered in blood!

It was precisely this face stained red by the blood of the Japanese slaves that made the look in his eyes at this moment particularly obvious.

Looking at these extremely calm and extremely cold-blooded eyes, he really felt like a wolf head suddenly appeared in his mind.

A fighting giant prairie wolf head!

After a while, the flag soldier came to his senses again, because he also saw that Wang Baobao had begun to express his anger.

After all, he is not young anymore, and he is no longer in his twenties or thirties.

He just looked at the entrance to the bottom cabin and thought to himself: "Quick, must be quick!"

Thinking of this, he saw the bow and arrows and quiver in the corner.

The flag-talking soldiers put down their red and blue flags, quickly picked up their bows and arrows, and began to share the pressure for Wang Baobao.

He is not an archer who specializes in bows and arrows, but at this moment, he has completely become an expert archer!
At this moment, this flag soldier completely confirmed the saying of later generations, that is, "The strength is unknown, but when you encounter a Japanese, you will be strong. This is the awakening of the bloodline engraved in the bones!"

At the same time, a loud metallic sound suddenly came from the bottom cabin, also known as the 'artificial power cabin'.

Everyone looked back and realized that there were ten black gun barrels sliding down the stairs.

Immediately afterwards, General Chen, the artillery deputy general, ran down panting with several people.

They looked at these scattered gun barrels and the blood stains on these armored soldiers, and they suddenly thought of the intensity of the battle on the deck.

"Why are you still standing there?"

"Hurry up and open the escape doors on the right and front, then get the gun barrel over and tie it up."

"There are also gunpowder and shells, bring them here, quickly!"

"."

When the rowers in the bottom cabin heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.

Although they were not frontline soldiers, they had seen this new Hongwu cannon fire during training.

This kind of play is completely based on luck and whether they will die together.

Yes,

In their opinion, whether they die together depends entirely on luck.

But even so, they acted quickly.

Two oarsmen went to open the door front and rear, and two oarsmen followed with axes to cut the floor.

There is no wheeled turret here. Only by cutting a big groove can it resist the barrel and make full use of the recoil of the cannon!
At the same time, two more oarsmen and two soldiers went to carry gunpowder and cannonballs.

The remaining oarsmen, together with General Chen, shouted chants and dragged the heavy barrel.

Those who are stronger can push from behind, and those who are less strong can support and push from the side!
They shouted the rowing chant, and while pushing the barrel, they also achieved "use force together and use force in one place".

Therefore, they quickly tied the gun barrels in the front and rear escape doors in a "three below and two above" pattern, and aimed them directly at the bottom cabins of the two Japanese ships that were only a few meters apart.

Soon, they filled the gunpowder and shells, made a fuse of almost the same length, and screwed them together.

The two artillerymen holding fire seals looked at General Chen at the same time and nodded firmly.

General Chen immediately ran up the stairs, and at the corner, he shouted to Wang Baobao, who had just killed the wave of Japanese soldiers: "Commander Wang, I'm going to fire."

After Wang Baobao nodded, General Chen immediately ran back to the bottom cabin.

At the same time, Wang Baobao and the flag soldiers all shouted towards the deck: "Get down, everyone get down!"

"."

The next moment, on the deck where the hand-to-hand fighting had been fierce, the fighting suddenly ceased for the most part.

These Japanese soldiers, who could not understand Chinese, suddenly started yelling when they saw the enemy general who had been killing like a demon before.

Immediately afterwards, he took the lead and lay on the ground.

At the same time, these Ming navy officers who were trying their best to chop them to death also pushed them away and decisively fell to the ground.

Was this a sudden collective surrender?
Before the bewildered Japanese soldier could react, he suddenly heard a deafening explosion.

Immediately afterwards, they were shaken to the sky by this sudden strong earthquake.

Under the sunlight at this moment, this huge battleship suddenly shook with the sound of the cannon.

The two fighting ships on its right were immediately torn apart, and at the same time, the giant ship itself slammed backwards, directly hitting the fighting ship on its left side and flipping onto the island.

The two fighting ships blocking the front and rear were also seriously damaged.

At this moment, whether it was the Japanese naval fleet of the Southern Dynasty or the blue fleet of the Ming Navy that blocked the bay, they all stared at this scene with wide eyes.

In their eyes, they could only see the white smoke that enveloped the battlefield. They could see nothing but white smoke!
Zhu Yuanzhang, Wang Baobao and others all clasped their hands on the fence and tightened their toes.

Except for them, it can be said that the entire fleet was so nervous when they saw this scene that they didn't dare to breathe loudly.

What's more, in the blink of an eye, there were tears in his eyes.

Only Ye Qing looked at this scene and was not so nervous! Although not as nervous as them, the worries deep inside are hidden under this calm face!
However, on the deck of the admiral's ship in the Japanese naval fleet of the Southern Dynasties, Chiba Chongwu and Yamamoto Kazuki walked directly out of the command booth.

Like the Japanese soldiers on their deck, his eyes were widened with anticipation.

In their view, it was not a big deal that all five ships and five Japanese soldiers were gone.

As long as they sink this Ming Dynasty giant handsome ship, their strategic purpose will be achieved!

"It's time for them to finish!"

Yamamoto Kazuki said with a frown.

Chiba Chongwu just focused on the white smoke in the distance and did not answer Yamamoto Kazuki's words.

Finally, the white smoke dissipated.

In everyone's eyes, the two fighting ships that were originally blocked in front and behind the giant ship were sinking while drifting along the current to the unknown distance.

As for the two fighting ships blocking the right side, there are only some debris floating on the water.

Of course, there is also a Japanese battleship from the Southern Dynasties that is almost complete, but it has rolled over and landed on the island.

All that can be seen is the complete bottom of the ship!

As for the giant handsome ship of the Ming Dynasty Blue Army, it was still firmly parked in the waters beside the island.

At this moment, all the Japanese soldiers of the Southern Dynasty Navy Fleet of Japan lowered their heads in disappointment, like defeated chickens.

With only one handsome ship, the Ming Dynasty rushed into their naval garrison. After the provocation, they were able to retreat with ease, and they could not catch up.

Not only that, but also a battleship to kill two of their naval formations!

Even five fighting ships were fighting hand-to-hand, and they were bombarded to pieces?
This kind of terrifying fighting power and this kind of successive defeats directly planted the seeds of terror deeply in their hearts.

The naval battle at Baijiangkou had frightened them for nearly a thousand years!

This battle made them lower their heads!
"how is this possible?"

"How can this be?"

Yamamoto Kazuki looked at the intact Daming Shuai. He couldn't believe the fact before his eyes and his eyes widened.

Qianye Chongwu was also so angry that his chest rose and fell violently!

At this moment, Qianye Chongwu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Because in his opinion, their morale could no longer be lost. They wanted to defeat the opponent, and now they had one and only one chance.

The ships of the blue fleet of the Ming Navy opposite them were all cheering on the deck, and the oarsmen who were watching this scene through the bottom portholes were also cheering inside.

"Well done, well done Wang Shuai!"

"I beg you, my Grand Marshal, raise the flag quickly."

"That's right, you can't be so greedy and kill all the Japanese soldiers with one ship!"

"."

This kind of cheers of eagerness has been echoing in the ears of Zhu Yuanzhang and others.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that he secretly swallowed his saliva.

He felt that the scene before him was unbelievable, and he was also happy for the scene before him.

At the same time, he also remembered that before the war started, Ye Qing gave Wang Baobao private lessons alone.

Thinking of this, he looked at this calm face with his peripheral vision.

"Wang Baobao's previous water tactics were not very good!"

"It took just two days of teaching alone to achieve such results?"

"This guy"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer accurately describe in words how deep Ye Qing's water was!
Xu Da, Zhu Di and Mao Xiang looked at Ye Qing and thought about this. While they were horrified, they were also curious about the specific content of this 'private lesson'.

Of course, Ye Qing also thought of that section, the 'private lesson' that matched Wang Baobao's current tactics!
In the cabin that night,

Ye Qing pointed to the structural diagram of the handsome ship, that is, the 'three-masted gunboat', and said to Wang Baobao: "If it comes to a critical moment, you can use the four words 'ship is strong and artillery is powerful' to fight."

Wang Baobao frowned and said, "Is the ship strong and the artillery powerful?"

Ye Qing said firmly: "Yes, we will use the characteristics of the hull structure to be much stronger than the enemy ship, and the cannon to be much more powerful than the enemy ship's weapons to fight!"

"Of course, this is a strategy for critical situations!"

"I don't want you to use this kind of tactics unless you have to!"

"."

On the handsome ship,

Wang Baobao, who had already gotten up, looked at the flying flag of the deputy commander's ship and unconsciously raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Ye,"

"I use the words 'ship strong and cannon strong' like this, are you satisfied?"

Thinking of this, he immediately looked at the Japanese soldiers on the deck who had been beaten to pieces and only had half their lives left.

Wang Baobao raised his sword and ordered loudly: "Kill all these Japanese slaves!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers all yelled to kill Zhentian, all of them had a fierce look in their eyes, all of them burst out with astonishing strength, and all of them had a fierce smile on their lips unconsciously.

Not only did they raise their swords, they even pushed the Japanese off the boat.

Some of the stronger ones would lift up the Japanese soldiers and use their knees to forcefully pack the Japanese soldiers' backs, and then throw them directly off the boat.

Soon, they cleared the Japanese soldiers on the deck.

Wang Baobao looked at this scene and listened to the cheers from his Blue Army fleet. He knew that he had achieved his first strategic goal!
That is to give these southern army recruits absolute confidence and courage, and to give the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side a lingering fear in their hearts! '

Thinking of this, Wang Baobao walked up to his command booth with his head held high.

"Pass this Commander's orders,"

"Sail my handsome ship back to the central water area just now, and anchor again to prepare for battle!"

The deputy general was still puzzled and felt that they no longer had the fighting power to do this again.

But he had absolute trust in this marshal!
"Yes, Wang Shuai!"

After the order was given to the bottom cabin, the rowers rowed harder.

On the deck of the admiral's ship of the Japanese navy fleet,

Chiba Takatake and Yamamoto Kazuki were so angry that their mouths were trembling when they saw that this handsome ship had returned to anchor here and faced them again with the attitude of 'one man in charge'.

what is this?
This is an absolute provocation from the victor!

This is also an absolute insult to warriors like them!

"attack!"

"All troops, attack at full speed!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Chiba Chongwu and Yamamoto Kazuki issued this order at the same time.

For a moment, hundreds of fighting ships moved forward at full speed toward the handsome ship where Wang Baobao was located in a staggered battle formation.

Soon, they began to change their formations again, hoping to surround this huge handsome ship.

But at this moment, Wang Baobao also issued his command again! .
