A flowering bomb hit the Weiyuan, exploding to the sailors on deck, causing huge casualties.Zheng Chenggong looked at it, the corpses lying on the deck and the broken arms of the residual value, the wounded soldiers who were rolling and wailing, and the pools of blood and water."
Jiyuan!
Wei Ning!
The speed of the two ships slowed down.The side side of the Jingyuan was hit hard, and the flag was played to withdraw from the battlefield!
”The soldier shouted loudly.Of the fifteen battleships, four were thrown off the battlefield because of the destruction of the sail line and the loss of speed, and one was heavily damaged by the enemy ships and had to retreat so as not to be sunk by the enemy ships.The combined fleet of the Ming Dynasty, with only ten ships left, still preserved the formation and rode the wind and waves."
Reload, fire a round of solid bullets!
Continue to gather fire and Yingyi flagship!
”Zheng Chenggong's face was full of gunsmoke, and he shouted to order."
Boom Boom" Because the five warships withdrew from the war group ahead of schedule, the Ming army's artillery bombardment has been reduced from nearly 500 shells per round to more than 300.The shells smashed into the British ship, the side was smashed by the shells, the shells were wrapped in broken wood, swept across a section of the deck, and then rushed out from the other side and fell into the sea."
AhhhA mile away, the terrible screams of the British ship were heard.Because it was a solid shell, although this round of shelling hit a number of Xiyi gunboats and smashed the side of the ship, it did not sink one enemy ship and thirteen enemy ships, one left the battlefield, one sank, and there were eleven warships left to continue sailing and fighting.Looking at it this way, although the Ming army did not have a warship to be silent, and the loss was less than that of the enemy fleet, Yingyi's strategy of attacking the tail of the Ming fleet with chain bullets, causing the Ming warship to lose speed and be thrown out of the battle group, undoubtedly worked.At this time, the Ming army faced the Xiyi combined fleet, and the number was no longer superior, and the Xiyi had been crisscrossing the sea for more than 100 years, and the experience of large-scale fleet encounters was indeed superior to that of the Ming army."
Boom, boom, boom" Xiyi fleet fired back again, and the flowering bomb hit the Ming warship, a Ming warship, dragging thick black smoke, continued to move forward, but after a while, the hull exploded and slowly sank into the sea."
Your Highness, the flag has been raised, and the fleet is invited to fight bravely against the enemy."
The voice of the sergeant Wangdou trembled, with a crying voice, "The Yangwei trumpet has sunk!"
”Zheng Chenggong watched, slowly tilted, plunged into the sea of Yangwei, and smashed the boat with a fist.At this time, the distance between the two sides was close to half a mile, Zheng Chenggong gritted his teeth and shouted, "Change to flower bombs and scattered bombs!"
Full sails, stick it up and catch the string battle!
”The Xiyi warships were sturdy, except for the Dutch warships that were sunk and escaped, the hulls of the British and French warships were harder than the Ming warships.Zheng Chenggong found that in the shooting, the Ming artillery did not have an advantage.At the current distance, at most one shot can be fired, and it is about to be connected.The Ming army had previously fired a round of solid shells, which severely damaged the side of the Xiyi fleet and broke the hull, but Zheng Chenggong was not in a hurry to bombard again, but prepared to get close and then directly hit Xiyi's face.However, Xiyi, who was on the other side, had a lot of experience, and actually stopped the shelling, and was ready to get close and shoot the last shot.At this time, between the two fleets, there were only sporadic guns, which continued to roar, smashing the ship's side guards with solid shells, and the rest of the guns were replaced with flowering shells and scattered shells, which were used when they were closer.On the enemy ships, the experienced Yingyi and Fayi had already picked up muskets, spears, and hatchets, and were clearly ready for hand-to-hand combat.Zheng Chenggong saw the situation on the Xiyi ship, and hurriedly ordered the Ming soldiers to put their weapons by their side and hide them everywhere on the deck to wait, and some sailors, holding muskets and bows and arrows, climbed up to Wangdou, climbed the ship, and occupied the commanding heights.The fleets of both sides were preparing, and at this moment, almost at the moment of unification, the flagships, which were less than fifty years old, were gathered and fired at the same time.Suddenly, there was a series of loud noises, and one after another black cannonballs rushed out of white smoke and flew rapidly towards the opponent, and some artillery spewed out a fan of iron sand and fell into the sea, like a torrential rain.At a distance of fifty paces, the shells arrived in an instant, and before the soldiers could react, they heard a "boom", and the shells exploded on the deck.At this time, the progress of the Ming army in the technology of flowering bombs was revealed.The Ming army flowered the shell, according to the distance of the target, adjust the length of the lead, resulting in the landing that is explosive, and the British and French, although they also imitated the flowering bomb, but the control of the explosion is not accurate, many shells directly from the port side, starboard shot, fly to the sea, only to explode.However, Britain and France knew their weaknesses, so when they were close to the port, they still used a large number of scattered bombs to kill and injure the Ming troops on the ship.Flowering shells are smashed through the side of the ship, landing on the deck, or burrowing into the cabin and exploding, without shelter from the soldiers, while scatter shells are mostly fired on the guard, hitting the side of the ship into potholes, but the damage is much lower than that of flowering shells that explode inside the ship.Fifty paces by artillery bombardment, like a cannon on the head of the door, the Ming army's flowering shells, almost swept across the deck of the Xiyi flagship, the ship was full of dead corpses, and the Ming flagship, also hit hard, the exposed soldiers, all were scattered bullets all over the pit, screaming and wailing, only the soldiers hiding behind the side of the ship and the wooden box, can be saved.At this time, Zheng Chenggong came back to his senses from the tragic picture, and suddenly roared urgently, "Musketeer, kill!"
”"Kill !!""
Bah, bah!"
On Wangdou, on the side of the ship, the surviving Ming soldiers immediately picked up their muskets and began to shoot, the enemy ships on the opposite side were hit one after another, and there were bursts of screams, and the British troops in Wangdou were hit by muskets, fell from a height, and smashed on the deck and burst their brains.On the opposite side of the British ship, the commander roared loudly, commanded the British soldiers, and fired with guns.The British navy, many of which were pirates, had defeated the Dutch and defeated the Spanish, and as the new maritime hegemon, they had the confidence to say that no one knew naval warfare better than they did.The British soldiers, who were born as pirates, gathered on the side of the ship with muskets and weapons such as hatchets and flying hooks, and were already eager to prepare for the battle.The muskets of both sides exchanged fire, sending sawdust flying, while the ships continued to sail less than twenty paces apart.At this time, even Zheng Chenggong picked up a bow and arrow and began to shoot, his archery skills were the most accurate, one arrow and one person, and the British continued to be hit by arrows and fell into the sea."
Your Highness, it's time to pick up the strings.We don't have an advantage!
”The general Yang Geng protected Zheng Chenggong and shouted urgently.The two ships had already met about ten paces, and the sides of both ships were in tatters, and the guns were no longer firing, but were firing at each other with muskets, and the archers and skirmishers standing on the lookout tried to suppress the opposite deck, so that the soldiers on both sides could only hide behind the side of the ship and the wooden box, so as not to be exposed to the guns of the other side.On the deck of the Weiyuan, there were screams everywhere, and on the British ship opposite, there were also intermittent screams, as well as the sound of orders, as if they were preparing to jump into the gang to fight.Zheng Chenggong's face sank, and he roared urgently, "Prepare a grenade, and when you get closer, blow him up by surprise, frustrate his sharpness, and then rush over for a bloody battle!"
