The majestic palace on the sea, the three-masted and pointed Franconian sailing ship, and the second-class Fuchuan-style pirate main ship.
These fleets of large ships appeared like giants among the few government warships caught in hand-to-hand combat.
Nearby, all kinds of firepower was poured mercilessly towards the several official ships occupied by pirates.
The artillery fire was no longer weak, but fast and urgent.
Because the distance was too close, even if the sea was bumpy and the artillery was heavy, the hit rate was still high.
The preloaded shotshells, propelled by gunpowder, ejected, and the high-speed flying iron sand swept across the deck.
Those pirates who didn't have time to react fell down like crops during the harvest season.
The spherical cannonballs cut into the wooden hull of the ship unscrupulously, causing wood chips to fly and a blazing fire.
The gunpowder on the ship was ignited by the flames, and loud explosions were heard from time to time. vjd55.
Since these ships were anchored in advance, friendly ships would not be affected after burning.
In addition, the officers and soldiers had made fire prevention preparations in advance, so they were not afraid of their own ships being set alight.
The officers and soldiers used these ships and the wolf soldiers on board as a trap to set up a trap for the pirates.
After a round of artillery fire, the pirates who were in the vanguard suffered more than half of their casualties.
The remaining people were also thrown into disarray.
Since many of the leaders were not killed or wounded in the round of shelling just now, the forward troops lost their command.
Some people rowed boats, while others simply jumped into the water and fled toward the rear in embarrassment.
Broken planks, small boats and countless dead bodies were floating on the sea.
The large warships of the government avoided the fire ships and rushed directly towards the Portuguese navy.
These pirates fled in embarrassment, almost disrupting the Portuguese navy's own formation, but the Portuguese army dealt with it quickly.
Under a volley of artillery, the pirates' embarrassment of escape came to a halt.
Immediately, the Portuguese fleet raised its sails and rushed straight towards the Ming fleet.
The artillery fire roared, and the shells drew an arc and landed in the opponent's array.
Due to accuracy reasons, it is still unrealistic to expect that artillery can destroy a large ship of the same size at sea.
The so-called naval battles, more often than not, are still fought between sailors to determine the outcome.
To be honest, the quality of the Portuguese navy is still better than that of the Ming army.
The accuracy of ship maneuvering and artillery is obviously a level higher than that of the Ming navy.
The fleet made several near-perfect operations, maximizing its artillery advantage.
Several large Fu ships that the Ming army served as the vanguard were heavily hit.
One ship was on fire, and the other ship was tilted.
Lifesaving boats came and went frequently, transporting soldiers to other ships.
Yang Chengzu's sea palace was not affected yet because it was located at the rear of the team.
Wang Hong's command ship had already caught fire due to the charge ahead.
Fortunately, neither he nor Shen Xiyi was injured.
Under the escort of personal soldiers, they boarded another large imitation French ship and still rushed to the front to pursue the Portuguese ship.
"It seems that the navy lacks training after all.
Compared with the Buddhists, it is still lacking.
With the same strength, I am not as good as him."
Yang Chengzu stood on the deck and observed the battle situation.
Although the progress of the army was unfavorable, due to the commander's presence There were imperial envoys in front and behind, and there was no one who took the lead to escape in the middle of the battle like the last naval battle.
On the contrary, they braved the artillery fire and pressed against the Portuguese tenaciously.
At the same time, they fired as many artillery shells as possible in the hope of suppressing the Portuguese army's firepower.
Yu Dayou watched the battle from the side, clenching his hands tightly into fists.
He and the new army were both weak, but they were not too worried about the outcome.
"In the final analysis, the way of naval warfare is to win with more ships and fewer ships, with bigger ships than with smaller ships, and with more cannons, win with fewer cannons.
Although Fo Yi is good at fighting, we have more people and more ships.

If we put it layer by layer, we can still win. .
As long as the generals are strong and the three armies are willing to fight to the death, how can the sailors and gunners of the imperial soldiers, Foyi, be defeated by the mere barbarians?
This battle is probably possible. " He looked up at the flag and shook his head, "The wind direction is still unfavorable.
We brought a hundred fire ships this time to set fire to the enemy, but with this wind direction, we can't attack with fire.
If the wind direction is right, we can send out the fire ships now.
They will definitely kill the Buddhists and cause chaos.
Last time they used small boats to break up the boats and pull away the fire boats.
Now their boats have messed up the camp.
It's a pity that the wind is blowing."
"General Yu, this wind is very beneficial to us.
I also support using fire to attack.
This wind direction is just suitable for us to set fire.
Haven't you noticed that although our troops are now trying to close the distance with the Buddha, We have never entered into hand-to-hand combat.
If we really want to fight, one or two ships can always approach.
The reason why we don't do that is actually to wait for the fire."
In the water, Qiu Sanhu and Li Qi were holding a piece of driftwood and were finally rescued by a small boat.
Deng Tong, who was also a pirate, was slightly less lucky and was beaten into a pulp by a cannon.
Even his dead body could not be found.
The two of them were breathing heavily on the boat.
Li Qi cursed: "God damn the officers and soldiers, they are more ruthless than me.
They actually used their own lives as bait.
Who came up with this bastard idea?
Let me know who it is.
I will kill them."
His whole family" Qiu Sanhu, however, stared at the battle situation closely, gritting his teeth tightly, and after a long while, he pulled Li Qi fiercely: "Go ashore, go back to the castle now."
"Why are you going back to the castle?
I think the Franji people fought well in this battle.
Compared to the real Japanese, they may not be as good at land battles, but they are much better at sea battles.
Look at this cannon, it almost made me deaf. , let’s just watch the fun from behind.”
"This time the officers and soldiers are really serious about it.
You see, after those boats were hit by bullets, they did not run backwards, but rushed forward against the wind.
Once the officers and soldiers were killed, the Folangji people could not withstand it. , there are too few of them.”
"It doesn't matter.
Didn't Xu's fleet go up to the top?
Although their ships are a little worse, they can always add firepower.
Those people have a few brushes for fighting.
I think they are about the same."
"It is precisely because Xu's fleet has gone up that we have to go ashore quickly.
If we don't run now, it will be too late later."
Qiu Sanhu issued an order to the sailors, and the boat turned around and rowed to the shore.
The battlefield was in chaos, with artillery fire from both sides like rain, and water columns rising and falling like fountains.
In this chaotic situation, the escape of one or two small boats went unnoticed.
Bartolok is using his famous general skills to direct the fleet to adjust the formation and take full advantage of the artillery.
He was not a foolhardy general.
In fact, he had already designed a trap, and the Ming army was about to enter the trap he had dug.

Under his guidance, the Ming Dynasty Navy charged blindly, causing its fleet to enter the angle between shore defense firepower and fleet artillery fire.
On the coastal fort, large-caliber heavy artillery was preparing to exert its power.
As long as two sides bombarded it at the same time, the Ming army's warships would inevitably suffer huge damage.
However, the entry of Xu's fleet caused some sluggishness in the operation of his fleet.
These ships felt bloated and clumsy, and they did not understand what operation meant at all.
Not only was it unable to function, it actually delayed the Portuguese navy's performance.
Bartolok frowned and ordered the attendants around him "Go down and issue an order to those Ming ships.
Ask Mrs.
Yuzi to come to my ship and ask her men to break away from our array and enter the second sequence.
Also, what are those forts doing?
Didn't they see my order?
Why haven't they fired yet?
Damn it, do they have to wait for the priest to bless each cannon before firing it?
I swear, the commander of the fort will be hanged."
The attendant hurriedly got off the ship and took the communication ship to Xu's ship.
However, he shouted several times and no one put down the gangway.
I had no choice but to climb up with a hook and a rope myself.
No one.
The deck was empty, there were no artillery pieces or soldiers on the gun emplacements.
Going down to the lower cabin, there were no sailors or oarsmen.
He opened several hatches in succession, but no one could be seen.
In the rooms where people originally lived, only barrels of gunpowder, cannonballs, or slates could be seen.
The pale-faced attendant frantically opened one hatch after another, trying hard to find the target.
It wasn't until he pushed open the kitchen door that he finally discovered that nearly a hundred wooden barrels were piled up together.
A dangerous chirping sound could be heard in the air, and the smell of burning match ropes filled the warehouse.
Looking at the match that had burned to the end, he had no time to do anything except pray.
Behind the Portuguese fleet, in the so-called second sequence of the Portuguese army, several of Xu's large ships had their bow rivets exposed and rammed into the rear of the Portuguese warship.
Then someone ignited the fish oil prepared on his ship. ,hay
