I wanted to board a battleship of the Ming army to fight for my life, but the height difference between the warships of the two countries was too great.
With no way out, they had to throw out the slings, put their muskets and katanas at their waists, grab the sling ropes and start climbing.
Seeing many flying claws grabbing the side of the battleship, Haijiao knew that the soldiers of Samofan began to climb the Ming battleship.
He waved his hand violently:
"Throw a grenade and blow them up!"
"Whizzing……"
The soldiers of the Ming army on the deck heard the command from the general, and threw the grenades they carried on their bodies at the Satsuma turtle ship without hesitation.
"Boom bang bang..."
Hundreds of grenades rained down on the Satsuma turtle ship, and there was a violent explosion in an instant.
The Japanese soldiers on the three tortoise shell boats were just about to climb, and their flesh and blood were blown up when they were blown up.
"fire"
The cape did not give the Samofan soldiers a chance to escape. When the grenade exploded at the end of the port, he gave an order, and the soldiers of the Ming army immediately lay down on the side of the ship and shot down.
Some Japanese soldiers who were lucky to escape the explosion were not so lucky this time and were beaten into sieves.
Seeing someone jumping into the sea to escape, Ming soldiers immediately raised their guns to kill them.
After dozens of breaths, all the soldiers of the Ming army turned out to be Japanese soldiers on the deck of the turtle ship and in the sea.
Haijiao didn't care if there were any soldiers alive in the cabin of the Japanese turtle ship.
Because most of the hull of their turtle ship has been submerged by sea water and will soon sink to the bottom of the sea.
The captain of the Zhengde is Zheng Chenggong's cousin Zheng Guoxi. He is a direct descendant of the Zheng family. He fought with his uncle Zheng Zhilong in the battle of Liuluowan.
He also studied in the naval class of the Daming Royal Military Academy, which is equivalent to the first batch of graduates of the Daming Royal Military Academy.
In terms of combat experience, he is not inferior to his cousin Zheng Chenggong. Because he just graduated, he obeys the command of Haijiao.
Of course, the three Satsuma tortoise shell boats would not have the slightest chance in front of him.

Chapter 662
"General, Guizi is too close to us, the artillery can't be used."
The artillerymen of the Zhengde found that the turtle ship was getting closer and the muzzle of the artillery could not be bombarded downwards, so they immediately reported the situation to the captain Zheng Guoxi.
In fact, Zheng Guoxi had been staring at the three Satsuma clan's tortoise-shell ships, seeing that the tortoise-shell ships were on fire and still approaching the Zhengde, he immediately understood what the Wa people wanted to do.
There were less than 100 people on the decks of the three turtle ships. The battleship was already on fire. It is impossible for anyone to wait to die in the cabin. This should be all their existing troops.
Zheng Guoxi's tactics were similar to Captain Haijiao of the Wendi, and he snorted coldly:
"Marines, bring your rifled guns to the deck and show General Ben your marksmanship."
"Yes"
Others did not move, Zheng Guoxi just ordered the marines to get on the deck, and 120 marines rushed to the deck immediately.
As soon as they rushed to the deck, the Marines immediately lay down on the side of the ship, rifles in their hands ready to shoot.
The fire on the turtle ship became more and more intense. The current commander of the Satsuma clan, Birch Nakamitsu, knew that if the brothers did not climb on the Ming warship, they would all be burned to death.
"Brothers, we have no choice now. The only way to survive is to board the warship of the Ming army. If we are brave enough, we may be able to capture the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, we will be the heroes of the Yamato nation.
Follow my orders and shoot at Ming warships. "
"Bang bang..."
Suddenly a gunshot rang out, and the Japanese soldiers on the turtle ship immediately shot at the Zhengde.
"Boom bang..."
The iron ball in the matchlock gun crackled on the side of the Zhengde ship, but the Ming army was blocked by the side of the ship, and no one was hit by the stray bullets.
"Throw the flying claws and quickly land on the battleship of the Ming army."
Seeing the Ming army's exposed head shrinking back, Birch Zhongguang immediately sent an order to board the Ming army's battleship.
A group of Satsuma soldiers immediately threw out the flying claws, and the flying claws were caught on the side of the Zhengde ship smoothly. They pulled the rope and felt that the claws were firm. Start climbing the battleship Zhengde.
They were short in stature, but they moved very nimbly, and soon some of them were only about one meter away from the top, and they were about to board the Zhengde.
The marines on the Zhengde looked at Feizhu not far away, with strange expressions on their faces, and turned to look at the captain Zheng Guoxi.
Zheng Guoxi waved his hand:
"Array fires."
The 120 marines immediately got up and divided into two rows. A row of 60 people stepped forward and pulled the trigger condescendingly:
"Boom bang..."
As the gunfire of the Ming army rang out, it was clear that the heads of the soldiers who were climbing the Satsuma domain were blown off one by one.
They hung in the air without even a chance to fight back, they all turned into lambs to be slaughtered, Birch Zhongguang suddenly despaired.
After the first row of 60 people fired, they immediately took two steps back to reload the bullets, and the second row of marines immediately stepped forward and shot at the Satsuma soldiers below.
"Bang bang..."
A burst of gunshots rang out, and clouds of blood sprayed on the soldiers and heads of the Satsuma soldiers below.
Two rounds of volleys killed and wounded more than 50 people.
The rest of the Satsuma soldiers who were not killed escaped unharmed only because the bullets were blocked by the bodies of their companions above.
As soon as they got up to evade, the third salvo started, killing all the Satsuma soldiers who could still run and were still struggling.
Birch Zhongguang was crushed by the corpses of three companions, and took the opportunity to pretend to be dead to escape.
When there was no movement above, he quietly looked up through the gap, but did not find a Ming soldier, the boy immediately pushed away his companion's body and slipped into the sea.
Birch has lived by the sea since he was a child, and his water skills are very good. He quickly left the turtle-shelled ship by sticking to the Zhengde ship. As soon as he swam to the stern of the Zhengde ship, the turtle-shell ship sank to the bottom of the sea.
