Chapter 1232: Flying clouds and blue seas, chain bullets swept across, sails are empty

"I understand!" Shen Mo knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. Then, he immediately nodded to Liu Ming.

"In the future, I will make an iron cabinet for the cannon position. We store the flowering bullets in it, take out one shot, and another shot will come out..."

As Shen Mo said, he thought about the machines in the bowling alley in his later generations.

When he thought about it in his mind, he felt that it was probably not difficult to build that thing. However, this thing obviously has great benefits for the safety of shell storage on the gun position.

"Your suggestion is very important, and the shots are accurate." Shen Mo only smiled and looked at Liu Ming in front of him:

"But protect yourself!" Shen Mo patted Liu Ming's arm, then took a step back, and asked the military doctor to come over to help Liu Ming clean up and bandage the wound.

After that, Shen Mo walked with his big tongue and said to Wu Jun: "Tell me what I said..."

"The Liu Ming's artillery group of the Qihai Feiyun will add a blood-hand badge to the artillery position. All the two-paid benefits will be paid. Liu Ming himself enjoys the special allowance for the sergeant chief and was promoted to a fourth-level sergeant."

"Good guy!" Wu Jun heard it from the side and immediately stuck out his tongue, then asked the clerk next to him to write down Shen Mo's orders.

This blood-hand badge is undoubtedly a very high honor! The cannon position with this badge will definitely become the extremely jealous position of all gunners in the entire Navy.

The double salary of all members of Liu Mingpao's team doubled the salary.

As for the sergeant subsidy that Liu Ming received was far more than the salary of a gunner.

What's even more amazing is the title of the fourth-level sergeant. You must know that in this way, Liu Ming is the highest-rated sergeant in the entire navy.

At this stage, there is only one Chang Tiehao in the entire army who is a fourth-level sergeant!

In Shen Mo's army, the sergeant ratings are divided into nine levels. The highest "first-class sergeant" enjoys the same level as the Navy General Shi Baoying.

In other words, as long as a big-headed soldier can be ranked as the lowest level ninth sergeant, it will be equivalent to double the salary. Further up, the higher the level, the more you pay, and the more respected the status.

Now Liu Ming has suddenly jumped to a fourth-level sergeant, and now he is the only one in the entire navy!

...

Then, Shen Mo took Wu Jun back to the cabin.

In the command room, he looked down at the map of the entire Jianghua Island Military Port. Then, at the throat leading to the Han River Estuary, Shen Mo drew a circle with a red pencil.

Under Shen Mo's order, the steam warship cut the waves on the bow and headed north at a speed of ten knots. Their target was the sea surface near Incheon east of Ganghwa Island.

...

Behind Shen Mo's distance, on the Qihai Feiyun,

Shi Baoying invited all the people from the four major consortiums to the command room.

Now these people are all sitting in a row on the stools, spontaneously abide by discipline like a group of primary school students, for fear of interfering with Shi Baoying's command and combat.

Under Shi Baoying's order, the entire fleet opened half of its sails and controlled its ship speed. It was arranged in a horizontal line, like a net, falling from a distance behind the fleeing ships of the Goryeo Navy, driving them northward.

Now the distance between the two sides is about ten nautical miles. At this distance, both sides can only see the sharp corners of each other's sails exposed in the sea and sky.

However, this was enough to shock the deserters in front of them!

In fact, Shi Baoying didn't need to open the big net to drive it away. The home port of these Korean naval warships was Jianghua Island. So after the defeat, their first reaction was to quickly return to their military port.

So Shi Baoying just needs to keep a distance and not break them up and mess them up, and make them run around.

However, during the sailing, ships were still falling behind.

These remnants of the Korean Navy's defeated generals then became snacks for this fleet under the leadership of Shi Baoying.

Most of these Korean ships were warships that were previously crippled in naval battles.

Either they were either the ship was broken and water was infiltrated while sailing, causing the speed to get slower and slower. Or they were not enough sailors on the boat. Once their physical strength decreased, the movements of operating the sails slowed down and the speed of the boat would not be fast anyway.

Because they were sailing north and facing the wind, the two fleets that chased and fled were all in zigzag shapes. In this case, the angle of the sails needed to be constantly adjusted.

Therefore, these Korean ships that lack sailors gradually left their own formation and gradually fell behind.

For these lonely enemy ships, Shi Baoying's main naval force did not stop the ship at all.

Under Shi Baoying's command, the fleet's gun position began to load chain bullets on its own artillery.

The chain shell is specially used for naval combat. It is rarely used in the army. In fact, this thing is two large iron balls, connected by a three or four-meter-long iron chain in the middle.

This kind of shell was put into the barrel again. After it was fired with the cannon, the posture of these chain shells flying in the air was really strange!

Sometimes, two iron balls straighten the iron chain in the middle during flight, with each angle at all angles.

Sometimes, these two iron balls will rotate around the iron chain in the air, and fly like a windmill.

But no matter what, once these things hit the other party’s sail, they will be over!

This thing will definitely tear a huge hole on the sail, and the sail cables located between the iron chains will be immediately broken and all will lose their function.

As for this chain bounce, once it hits the opponent's mast, the huge impact brought by the 32-pound iron balls will immediately turn the iron chain into a fierce guillotine, sweeping the opponent's wooden mast and breaking it!

So Shi Baoying's fleet waited for the other side's lonely ships to slowly approach, and then a few chains bounced down, and the sail rigging and masts on the entire ship would be swept away.

Then, Shi Baoying's warship left regardless of his strength and threw these enemy ships that had lost their sails to the ship behind to deal with them.

Because Shi Baoying's main warship must maintain a pursuit and cannot stop the ship. Therefore, the task of capturing the enemy on the enemy ship is handed over to the back, and the supply ships will be completed.

Although it was a transport ship or a troop transport ship, the warships behind also had self-defense artillery. Therefore, those damaged Koryo Navy ships still had no power to fight back when they faced them.
