The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas
Chapter 83: Bombarded from afar
The loss is not great. The problem is that no one was killed or injured (in fact, there were twelve sailors from the Southeast Palace who were injured or sprained by the artillery vehicle during the shelling), and there was no damage to a ship!
What's more terrifying is that the Fujian Navy is in trouble!
The Ming Army’s combat strategy is that when the enemy ship reaches a distance visible to the naked eye (approximately less than 1 km away), it will be bombarded with artillery in order to destroy it. When the enemy ship is approaching, use flamingo (firegun), bow and arrow, and rocket (fired bow and arrow) to shoot at each other; when it is approaching, use "hook to reject" (for fear that it will not be beaten) or draw the enemy ship closer , Hand over arrows and cupping; sending two boats close to each other, the soldiers will cross the boat, chop the sails, and fight hand-to-hand.
But, the opponent didn't fight according to their expectations at all. They just kept firing guns and didn't engage in close combat!
The Fujian Navy also has artillery, but most of them are head and tail artillery. There is no side wall artillery. It is difficult to aim the muzzle at the enemy, and even if it hits, one shot and two shots are almost worthless. mention.
Now the fleet in the Southeast Mansion is turning again, coming down the wind at an astonishing speed, and they are as fast as flocks of cheerful seagulls!
Oh, my God, compared to my own ships, how I wish to have a warship like them!
The Southeast Province uses European-style soft sailing boats, and the Fujian Navy uses hard sailing boats. Hard sailing boats are the first choice for cargo transportation. Naval battles or soft sailing boats are king!
The advantage of hard sailing boat is that it is easy to operate, can be raised with one pulley, requires a small number of people, and the sailing time is short. It is especially suitable for offshore and river trade. (The cost is lower with fewer sailors)
The disadvantage is that the weight of the sail cannot be too large, the area is small, the wind will be less, so the speed is very slow, the efficiency of transoceanic navigation is low, and it is not suitable for ocean trade and exploration. The load-bearing capacity of a hard sailboat is also small, and a few guns cannot be installed. The hard sail can only be raised to the top one time, and the sail strength cannot be adjusted according to the situation. This is not good for naval battles and crossing islands.
The western-style soft sail has a large surface, eats a lot, and has great advantages in speed and load. In addition, even if the soft sail on the same mast is section by section, the sail strength can be adjusted according to the situation.
is very conducive to naval warfare, but its operation is complicated, requires a large number of crew members, and takes a long time to raise the sail.
Now the Southeast Palace battleship relies on fast speed and fierce firepower, which has caused the navy ship to fall into a one-sided situation of light beating.
In fact, Yu Zigao also considered the scene of the other party’s rapid attack by the Clippers, and also thought of the way to deal with it, that is, to sacrifice the ego, to perfect the public, the outer ships are bombed, the central main fleet is attacked and killed on the mainland of Taiwan. , Landing destroys the foundation of the enemy.
What miscalculated was that the other party had so many ships!
In this way, even if it rushes to the mainland of Taiwan, the number of ships lost in the midway will be overwhelming!
Damn it!
Yu Zigao was so angry that he slammed his fist on the ship rail, and immediately ordered: "The third team is dispatched, follow the opponent's fleet, and don't let them attack the brigade!"
The third team of the Fujian Navy is a fast-moving force. It has 30 ships for driving. The firepower is not strong, but it has a shallow draft and is fast and flexible. It is used by Yu Zigao to deal with the clippers of the Southeast Prefecture.
Not waiting for the warships from the Southeast Mansion to arrive, the Fujian Navy from the third team rushed forward.
However, the warships in the Southeast Mansion were still not in close combat, and they all fired artillery to meet the enemy.
Li Ying led the Kaohsiung No. 1 battleship in a beautiful arc, passing in front of the Fujian Navy ship that had come to intercept, let them eat a round of artillery fire, and then chased the Fujian Naval Division.
The same is true for other warships, maintaining a strict battle line, no melee, just firing!
Eighteen battleships flew past, and the distance between the last battleship and the Fujian navy ship was less than 30 meters, which was like passing by.
The artillery of the Fujian Navy fired desperately: "Boom! Boom! Boom!"
But their artillery fire density is low, relying on bow guns and few guns on the side of the ship, and the level of training is also poor. When the sea swings, the shells often don't know where they are flying.
At that time, near the end of the Ming Dynasty, the army was so rotten that the superiors did not believe that the army received gunpowder as training, so when it came to receiving gunpowder, the prestigious name to train from the beginning was dubious to not at all!
They are right. Many of the gunpowder bags of the Fujian Navy appear in the inventory of the Southeast Mansion!
For the source of gunpowder, Southeast Mansion didn't bother much.
After those steadfast patriots in the mainland took their hands, the gunpowder in the Fujian navy moved to the other side of the strait and fired back to the Fujian navy.
In addition, the casting is poor, and there are problems after a few shots (the original strict quality management, Daming's artillery is still of good quality, but it will not be done later), so that I usually dare not train to avoid destroying the artillery and be held accountable by the boss.
Besides, even if it hits, it doesn't hurt to land on the battleship of the Southeast Palace!
The artillery used by the Southeast Mansion are all made by foreigners, and the quality is good~www.wuxiaspot.com~Yan Dashao is willing to invest. The amount of artillery fired by the fleet in a few months has exceeded the amount fired by the Fujian Navy in more than ten years, and the training has yielded results!
The artillery fire was fierce and accurate. The third team of the Fujian Navy was completely suppressed. They could not get close. In addition to being blown by the wind (they were against the wind), they were also stabilized by the artillery and could not move. The main force has gone.
"They're here!" On the flagship, the watcher roared, and Yu Zigao raised his binoculars to look over, frowning greatly.
"It's unreasonable!" Zhu Yifeng said dumbly: "Zongbing Yu, intercept them immediately!"
"One more team! The fourth team is dispatched to intercept, don't let them get close to the main fleet! Our fleet keeps going!"
The flag of the flagship changed, and another thirty ships rushed out of the queue to meet the opponent's cruise fleet.
The distance between the two sides keeps getting closer.
The first ship to drive the ship is very fast, rushing a long distance from the other ships, and seeing its castration, it is likely to cut into the channel of the Southeast Fleet, or it can be close combat.
Seeing his brave spirit in other boats, their morale was greatly boosted and they tried their best to speed up.
The lead ship of the Southeast Fleet suddenly reeled down and slowed down, stabilized the hull, and then the nine cannons on the port side fired.
At least six shells were eaten by the boat. The mast of the boat was discounted, and the opponent used chain bullets!
Fortunately, a chain bullet broke the mast and drove the ship horizontally, unable to move. The gunboats of the Southeast Fleet passed one by one and fired at it.
The officers and soldiers of the various ships on the Southeast Fleet laughed and fired. It was an artillery training, and the ship was the target!
When the fourth battleship passed by, the ship started sinking.
Yu Zigao’s face is slightly cramped, and one of his nephews is the captain of this boat. I hope he is lucky!
