Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Miyai thought that in five minutes, the Osumi Navy fleet would be able to rush into the 5000-meter artillery range, and as long as they were within the range, the Osumi Navy would be able to counterattack.

There are still 30 warships. The warships of the Osumi Navy are equipped with Jingyi cannons, the minimum number is 60 and the maximum is .

Run 1000 meters and you win! !

After thinking about this, Miyai ordered the fleet to accelerate at full sail, rush forward 1000 meters, and then deploy in battleship form to freely attack the "giant monster" in front.

The gun positions of the sailboats were all located in the side compartments of the warships. To attack the enemy, they had to position themselves sideways in a battleship formation to face the enemy.

The main guns of the ironclad ship were installed at the bow and stern of the deck, and the two sides were equipped with side guns that could rotate 180 degrees left and right, so they could face the enemy without blind spots from the front, sides and back of the ship.

Gong Jing did not give up and had his own plans in mind.

Wei Xiaobao saw that the Osumi Navy not only did not raise the white flag, but instead advanced at full speed in an attempt to shorten the distance between the two sides.

"Little Japs, I'll let you surrender and still have a chance to live. Now you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" Wei Xiaobao guessed the Japs navy's thoughts and said to himself.

"Brothers, how about we have a close combat exercise today?" Wei Xiaobao shouted to the soldiers behind him.

"Follow the commander-in-chief's orders!" the soldiers of the Dragon answered in unison.

Wei Xiaobao said to the acting captain and first officer Zhang Xiaolong beside him: "Order the Julong to advance at full speed, rush towards the Japanese fleet, and smash these turtle bastards to death."

Miyai couldn't imagine why the Dragon didn't just stay there, allowing them to be used as targets, but instead rushed towards them.

The Osumi Navy now has five 500-ton Fukusen warships, and the rest are warships of less than 300 tons.

The 500-ton Fu ship is 48 meters long, 9 meters wide and 6 meters above the water.

The opponent's behemoth was more than twice as long, wide and high as the Fu ship.

One minute later, the Osumi Navy had not yet reacted and had no time to deploy side gun positions to defend against the enemy's battleships. The behemoth had already rushed within the 1-meter range.

Miyai quickly ordered all ships to turn sideways to meet the enemy.

Before the warships of the Osumi Navy could form a battle formation, the Julong rushed into the 2000-meter range between the two sides.

40 white phosphorus crossbows fired ten arrows in a row. In less than a minute, 400 white phosphorus crossbow arrows accurately hit the Japanese warships.

The white phosphorus crossbow arrows that hit the canvas immediately ignited the canvas, and a raging fire broke out. The warship lost its wind power and stood on the sea and burned...

The white phosphorus crossbow arrows shot into the firing port of the interlayer immediately ignited the gunpowder barrels in the interlayer, causing a violent explosion. The entire warship disintegrated instantly and flew in all directions...

The white phosphorus crossbow arrows shot at the deck, and the fire spread rapidly. The people on the deck could not bear the fire and jumped into the water one after another...

At this time, the Giant Dragon had already rushed into the fleet of the Osumi Navy.

The Dragon rushed forward recklessly and crashed into the enemy without any hesitation, and the first thing to be hit was the flagship where Miyabi was.

At this time, although the 500-ton flagship was already ablaze and emitting black smoke, it had just positioned itself in the battle line, exposing its side to the Dragon.

The bow of the Julong was not duck-billed like the Fu ship, but pointed, like a sharp blade.

Miyai looked up at the black mass of "giant monsters" rushing towards him, and his heart was completely desperate. He regretted why he did not raise the white flag of surrender a few minutes ago. Now he could only be loyal to the emperor by dying.

"boom"

A huge crash was heard, and the 500-ton Japanese flagship was cut in half.

Gong Jing, who was standing on the deck, was thrown into the air like other Japanese soldiers, and then fell heavily into the sea. Then he was carried into the water by the whirlpool created by the rapidly sinking wreckage...

In an instant, only a few of the more than 200 Japanese soldiers on the flagship were able to emerge alive from the water.

The Dragon continued to fire white phosphorus crossbows while running at full speed, charging through the Japanese fleet and ramming into the Japanese warships one after another...

The collision frightened the Japanese and made them scream in pain.

At this time, there were also Japanese warships that were a little further away, firing at the Julong. Due to the Julong's fast speed, most of these iron balls hit the sea or the Japanese's own warships, and a small number hit the Julong's hull.

Since the Dragon was covered with a 50 mm thick layer of steel armor, these iron balls only left a few dents on the armor and did not cause any damage to the Dragon.

Soon, all the Japanese warships were on fire, and more than half of the ships were sunk. The water was littered with the wreckage of the Japanese warships and the bodies of the Japanese soldiers floating everywhere.

There were still more than a thousand surviving Japanese soldiers, who were clinging to the wreckage of the warship in frustration, staring at this "giant monster" that had terrified them.

They hoped that the other side would send out small boats to capture prisoners. Although the battlefield was only ten kilometers away from the Nishinoomote port, many of the survivors were injured, and swimming back these ten kilometers would cost them their lives.

These free laborers are wealth in Wei Xiaobao's heart. The captain of the Iwami Brigade, Ishikawa Taro, who came on the same ship, is the daimyo of Iwami County, which is rich in silver and copper. For the sake of the emperor, the princess, and of course the federal government, this daimyo is in great need of free laborers.

Wei Xiaobao sent people to capture these prisoners, escort them to the port, and hand them over to the Gaomu family for custody.

In the Imperial Study Room of the Qing Dynasty Palace

Kangxi and several cabinet ministers were listening to reports on the trip to the Ryukyu Kingdom by Long Keduo, the right vice minister of the Lifanyuan, and Shi Lang, the admiral of the Beijing Navy.

After listening to their report, Kangxi said, "So, the Ryukyu Kingdom has joined the Federation of Heaven and Earth and has become their vassal state."

"Your Majesty is wise." Long Keduo said.

"How much do you know about the Federation Government of Heaven and Earth?" Kangxi asked.

When Long Keduo heard Kangxi asking about the situation of the Tiandi Federation, he panicked like a shrimp thrown onto the shore.

That day, Long Keduo was in the palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom. When he heard the Ryukyu King Shangwen say that the vassal relationship would be terminated, he left the Ryukyu Kingdom in anger without even visiting Shuri Castle, and forgot to inquire about the situation of the Tiandi Federation Government.

Long Keduo glanced at Shi Lang beside him, expecting Shi Lang to know something, but Shi Lang also lowered his head and said nothing.

Long Keduo stayed for a few seconds, and seeing that Shi Lang did not respond, he knew that as the chief envoy of the Ryukyu delegation, he could not escape the emperor's question, so he answered with gritted teeth:

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. When I heard Prince Shangwen say that he wanted to end the vassal relationship with the Qing Empire, I was filled with indignation and anger. I did not go deep into Shuri Castle to inquire about the situation of the federal government. I only heard Prince Shangwen mention that the headquarters of the federal government was located in Shuri Castle."

"It takes two months to go back and forth from Ryukyu to the Qing Dynasty. Isn't it a waste of manpower and financial resources for you to go out to sea to do business without clarifying the situation?" Kangxi asked.

"I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty!" When Long Keduo and Shi Lang saw the emperor questioning them, they immediately knelt down and apologized.
