The sixteen warships consisted of more than 400 naval guns, and the warships rushing towards Japan were a round of salvos.
"Rumble..."
"Boom bang bang..."
More than 400 shells flew towards the Japanese warships overwhelmingly.
Although the hit rate was not very high in high winds and waves at sea, after all, there were so many shells, and half of the shells fell on the Japanese warship in the end.
"Rumble..."
The two Japanese warships rushing to the front were immediately blasted with many holes.
Those Japanese who stood on the deck and wanted to see how powerful the Ming warship was, were almost taken away by the Ming artillery.
"Baga, how can North Korea have such a powerful warship, hurry up and rush over."
Huashan Jiusou was furious when he saw it, and immediately ordered the Japanese warships to advance quickly regardless of everything, and must capture more than a dozen warships in front of them.
However, the mist on the sea suddenly dissipated gradually, and suddenly countless Ming warships appeared around the Japanese warships, and they had already surrounded the Japanese warships.

"My lord, something is wrong, look around..."
Seeing that the mist cleared, countless Ming warships appeared in the Tsushima Strait, and they had already surrounded all Japanese warships.
Huashan Jiusou's deputy turned pale with shock and hurriedly reported to Huashan Jiusou.
There is no need for his subordinates to remind him, at this time Huashan Jiusou has also seen the fleet besieged.
"Bage, how is this possible? How could North Korea have so many warships?"
As the ancestor of Huashan Zhongguang, the commander of the Japanese United Fleet, Huashan Jiusou rubbed his eyes desperately in disbelief.
He is still doubting that his eyesight is blurred. It is impossible for North Korea to have such a large navy.
Huashan Jiusou guessed right, the day before yesterday there were only dozens of warships in North Korea.
But how would he know that the Ming Dynasty Navy came to support on a large scale today.
After realizing that his eyes were not blurred, although Huashan Jiusou was surprised, he did not panic, he still calmly ordered:
"Quickly, order the fleet to quickly turn the rudder and approach the Korean warship off the coast of Tsushima Island. Only by approaching their warship can there be a way out, otherwise it will be sunk soon."
Huashan Jiusou wanted to have a scuffle with the North Korean warships behind, so that other warships would not dare to fire easily.
Under the command of Huashan Jiusou, the six turtle ships in the Japanese fleet rushed to the rear to intercept their dozen or so Korean warships.
"fire"
Seeing that the Japanese turtle ships were desperate, the Korean warships hurriedly started shelling the turtle ships.
The Tsushima Strait was windy and the waves were rough, the warships were constantly heaving up and down, and the accuracy of the naval guns was not high, and only a few shells bombarded the Japanese turtle ship.
However, the small Japanese turtle ship also had some armor on it, so it was not fatally injured, and was still rapidly approaching the Korean warship.
Behind the turtle ship, other Japanese warships followed closely, and kept firing to attack the Korean warship.
During the bombardment, three North Korean warships were sunk, while none of the Japanese warships were sunk.
Obviously, the technology and tactics of the Japanese are higher than those of the Korean soldiers, and it is difficult for the Korean soldiers to sink Japanese warships by virtue of their morale alone.
The formation of more than a dozen Korean warships blocking the way of the Japanese warships was quickly disrupted. The turtle ship took the opportunity to approach the Korean warships, and a boarding battle broke out between the two sides.
Although these Japanese are generally short in stature, they are really fierce.
They held Vulcan guns and fired a salvo, causing many casualties to the Korean soldiers.
Before the North Korean soldiers could stabilize their position, the little Japanese drew their samurai swords and jumped onto the North Korean warship.
Li Dongyang was at a loss when he saw the melee between the Japanese warships and the Korean warships.
At this time, the fleet led by Lu Aiguo came to the battlefield. He raised his binoculars to see the warships of the two countries fighting together.
It was found that although the Japanese were very fierce, the Korean soldiers were not defeated. Instead, they fought with the Japanese with their flintlock guns.
If in the past, the Japanese just boarded their own warships, the Korean soldiers would be defeated immediately.
Lu Aiguo nodded slightly, he knew this was the result of well-trained.
"Come here, pass on the order of the governor, hit the artillery fire to attack the Japanese warships, and sink them all for me."
Li Dongyang didn't dare to fire, but it didn't mean that Lu Aiguo didn't dare to fire.
As soon as he gave an order, the muzzles of nearly fifty warships aimed at the Japanese warships.
"fire"
"Rumble..."
"Boom bang bang..."
Thousands of shells bombarded the Japanese warships overwhelmingly.
"fire"
"Rumble..."
Round after round, almost [-] shells hit the Japanese battleship in three rounds of bombardment.
More than a dozen Japanese warships were all bombarded into sieves, and one of the Korean warships was unfortunately sunk.
However, before the bombardment, the North Korean warship had received orders from Lu Aiguo to abandon the ship and jump into the sea to escape.
Some Japanese who did not come to board the Korean warship sank to the bottom of the sea with the warship on the spot.
And those Japanese who boarded the Korean warship suddenly saw that their warship was sunk, and began to panic.
Huashan Wine yelled angrily:
"North Korea is such a bullshit commander. They dare to fire at the warships of the two countries in the melee. Aren't they worried about accidentally injuring their own people and warships?"
After the Japanese attacked the Korean warship, they thought that the Korean soldiers would surrender immediately, as they have always done before.
