The Nissin Combined Fleet had more than 300 warships, including smaller fire ships, and many with oars.

The Royal Navy of Ming Dynasty dispatched 65 large and small warships, only 28 sail battleships, and most of the rest were rescue ships, etc.

The Ming army was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of the number of warships, but the ones participating in the battle were large warships with heavy armor and strong firepower, and the smallest was also a level 5 cruise ship equipped with thirty-five artillery.

They were not guilty of the Japanese-Shenzhen Combined Fleet at all, and they fought harder and more.

Both sides were frequently shot. The Royal Navy of Ming Dynasty was severely damaged in close combat. The Japanese tortoise shell ship, which was forced below the waterline, was penetrated. It has now been flooded with hundreds of tons of sea water, and the entire hull is shaking.

Judging from the shooting rate of artillery shells of both sides, the Ming Dynasty Royal Navy, which had been systematically trained, was obviously better in its performance. The Douyong, the fifth-level cruise ship alone, sank seven or eight Japanese-Shenzhen joint warships.

The third-level battleship Yaoguang has sunk ten enemy ships, including a fourth-level sailing battleship from the Qing Dynasty, which is invincible.

Because the Yaoguang was too eye-catching, in order to sink the main warship of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese Navy Deputy Commander, Kusuo Kaorashi, ordered fifty warships of all sizes to be dispatched to concentrate on besieging the Yaoguang.

Most Japanese naval warships set artillery at the bow, with only a few, and their firepower was limited and they could only be suppressed by quantity.

In order to sink the Shaking Light, they used various means, shelling, rockets, and even using suicide fire ships.

The Yaoguang used 70 artillery on both sides to open fire at the Japanese warships around. Under the powerful and continuous counterattack of the Yaoguang, the Japanese Navy suffered heavy casualties, more than 20 were sunk, and thousands of officers and soldiers were killed and injured and jumped into the sea.

The naval battle lasted for more than two hours, and something beyond Shen Shouchong's expectations happened.

Several giant water columns rose up on the left side of the Yaoguang Hunter. Immediately afterwards, a huge shell directly hit the waterline. A crack appeared on the Yaoguang Hunter's hull and the hull began to tilt slightly.

In the distance, a burst of cheers broke out on the flagship of the Qing naval commander Hong Shiming, and everyone cheered for the Regent to show their power.

At the same time, the Regent, the fourth-class sail battleship, fired another volley, and more than a dozen shells of different caliber smashed towards the Yaoguang.

A moment later, two more shells hit the Yaoguang waterline near the Yaoguang waterline, the hull was completely penetrated, and a large amount of sea water was submerged into the cabin.

The Yaoguang Rolled to the left quickly, and at the same time, the bow of the ship was concerned about the rapid speed sinking into the water.

At this time, the Yaoguang Roll raised all the signal flags.

When the Ming army commander Shen Shouchong, who was in the distance, saw this scene, his heart sank. The Yaoguang was not asking for help, but the captain planned to die for the ship!

On the Yaoguang, there was chaos. The young captain Li Kaiguo held the mast hanging the Ming dragon flag, his eyes turned red. He shouted loudly to the sailors: "Jump into the sea to save yourself!"

After the captain's order to abandon the ship was issued, the sailors dived into the water to rescue themselves and swam to friendly warships and rescue ships.

"Captain, what are you going to do! Let's go with us!" the adjutant came over and grabbed his arm and said.

"You go, I want to stay."

Li Kaiguo showed grief and the Yaoguang, as a third-class sail battleship, existed at the top of the entire Ming Dynasty Royal Navy.

Because the Ming Dynasty had only two second-class sail battleships, one each of the Jinghai Fleet and one of the Nanyang Fleet.

This time, the Jinghai Fleet sent only four third-level sail battleships, and the Yaoguang was one of them!

Now, the Yaoguang has been sunk. As the captain, as the first officer and student of the Emperor Naval Academy, how do you live?

Only martyrdom!

"captain!"

Li Kaiguo shouted with a silence: "Let's go! I'll order you!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The sinking Yaoguang was bombarded again, and it was obvious that the enemy's warships wanted to completely sink Yaoguang.

Just a few minutes later, the giant ship that was just majestic and powerful had gradually sunk to the bottom of the sea.

The Yaoguang sank completely, and the captain and adjutant were all killed.

"We sank the enemy ship!!!"

The Regent of the Nisshin Combined Fleet and several adjacent warships resounded throughout the sky.

Hong Shiming was even more contented and accepted the praise from the generals around him.

The sinking of a main warship of the Ming army gave all the officers and soldiers of the Japanese-Shenzhen Combined Fleet several injections of heart-boosting agents, and morale suddenly reached its peak.

The Qing Navy became an idol of Japanese sailors. The battleship of the Regent, which sunk the Yaoguang, was regarded as a symbol of the Qing Navy.

At this time, several other fourth-level battleships of the Qing Navy, "Pingxi King", "Pingnan King", "Jingnan King", etc., and the warships named after the Second Tartar Banner of the Han Army Flag, all slowly drove out from behind as if they were injected with chicken blood.

They were also ready to pick the opportunity to sink another besieged Ming army's main battleship, Tianshu, to enhance military merits.

Suddenly, the sea water around Tianshu was boiling, with tall water columns rising and falling one after another, and no hit.

At this time, Shen Shouchong's flagship Tianquan arrived quickly, followed by Tianxuan, Kaiyang and seven or eight fourth-level sail battleships, all of which were murderous intent and forced several second-hand Spanish warships from the Qing Navy.

"Retreat quickly! Order them all to withdraw!"

On the battleship of the Regent, the Qing naval commander Hong Shiming shouted loudly.

He knew very well that his father established the Qing navy not to fight against the Ming army, but to run away to the east. He could not leave here! Run now!

The main Qing warships that were just looking at death and fighting to the death, and preparing to make great contributions are now like rabbits, all of which turn around and accelerate, leaving the battlefield as if they are escaping.

How could several main Ming army warships tolerate the enemy who sank the Yaoguang run away? They still fired their main guns and accelerated their pursuit.

Hong Shiming panicked, his heart accelerated and beat wildly, for fear that the Regent would be caught by the Ming army.

Shen Shouchong handed over the command of the battlefield to the Jinwu of Deputy General Huang Binqing, and he personally led a team to pursue several second-hand warships of the Qing Navy.

Without the support of several main warships of the Qing Navy, the strength of the Japanese-Shenzhen Combined Fleet was greatly weakened, and with the fact that many warships were sunk during this period, the strength of the two sides became increasingly serious.

Almost all the Japanese Navy's large ships were destroyed by the Ming army. Now all that is left is some small boats sailing near the sea. In front of the Ming Royal Navy warships, the lambs shaped like tigers can only be slaughtered by others, and there is no power to fight back.

As long as the part hit by artillery is hit by two or three cannons, they will be sunk.

The battle lasted until the afternoon, when the Japanese-Qing Dynasty combined fleet was defeated, and the Qing navy fled one after another.

Most of the Japanese naval warships in Yamakawa Port were sunk. The commander Shimazu Kokusa fell into the sea to feed the turtle, and the deputy general Kazumo Kazusaki did not run away and became a prisoner.

The remaining Japanese Navy surrendered with the banner, and the Japanese Navy was almost wiped out.
