Chapter 561 A thousand armies are easy to find, and the cannonballs fly in rows, and the sea suddenly boils as if a pot is boiling, and columns of water rise up into the sky, and the water mist rushes and explodes like thunder!
Zheng Zhibao was a little gloating: "It's really rich and nowhere to throw it, the shells have hit the water, Quan Xu Xiao'er has a lot of money!"
”Even if it was lead bullet, a cannonball would cost several taels of silver, and if Zheng Zhibao's men dared to hit so many cannonballs into the water, he would definitely whip him to death.Only Zheng Zhilong looked at the flying shells with a blank expression, and at this time, a suicide ship was hit by a 130 mm caliber flowering shell.The flowering shells of the whole family army have begun to use collodion, that is, yellow explosives, which are more than three times more powerful than black powder, and the gunpowder of the suicide ship that was directly hit was also detonated in an instant.The earth-shattering explosion created a violent shockwave that wrapped in sawdust and turned into sharp shrapnel, shattering the blast of the four surrounding suicide ships.More and more suicide ships are being blown up.The Japanese samurai, who were not afraid of death, also looked at the various shells fired from the warships of the whole family army with blank expressions.As if Zheng Zhilong had been hit by a petrified spell, he looked at all this blankly, his face was pale, his eyes were straight, and he couldn't speak.The fierceness of the family army's counterattack, the power of the artillery, completely exceeded his most exaggerated imagination, the deafening cannon sound, the rushing fire and water columns, and the cries and screams of the sailors seemed to be the whole family army's wordless mockery of him—you are too weak!
The chaotic suicide ship slowed down and screamed.The rumbling of cannons and thunderous explosions never stopped, combined with the blazing fire, the Japanese samurai struggling in the water, and the shattered hulls of ships, made it feel like hell.At this time, the artillerymen of the whole family army and navy became more and more comfortable and skilled, and they were even more unforgiving, and each cannon poured out its devastating power at a rate of five rounds per minute, which really exerted the eight words "firepower first, completely suppressed" to the extreme.The suicide boats were hit one after another, and once hit, they exploded immediately, tearing the surrounding suicide boats apart.Sanniang felt a little boring and yawned a little tiredly.Jeon Wook was looking at it with great interest.In the era of smoothbore guns and flintlock pistols, due to the limitations of weapons, in order to increase the lethal effect, the only way to increase the hit rate was to line up for shooting at close range.The British went to the extreme in this regard, and the lobster soldiers were also known as the "Sequoia Army", a habit that was retained during the Civil War, in order to distinguish the white shirts who supported the king, the troops who supported the parliament adopted bright red as the color of their uniforms, and with the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, the lobster soldiers wearing three-cornered hats finally conquered the world with the British Empire.Linear tactics are the main tactics of lobster soldiers to conquer the world, this tactics have very high requirements for discipline and coordination, in the course of the battle, the infantry have to listen to the march played by musicians on the battlefield, step by step with a fixed speed to advance, and the later widely used positive step began to form during this period.In linear tactics, there is a fatal problem, that is, if the opponent rushes too fast, or too slow, it will form a more threatening salient, and people will naturally aim at the target that poses the greatest threat to themselves when they are most nervous.This creates a rather awkward problem, a dozen shots fired at one person, the target will be beaten into a sieve, but the other dozen people will not be hit, and the British soldiers will be severely injured.It can even be said that it is the possibility of failure.Later, they emphasized discipline and one-on-one duels, that is, each soldier only aimed at the person directly in front of him, and the others, even if the opponent's bayonet was against his own throat, that did not matter, and the others were responsible for dealing with it.In fact, it turned out to be a very practical tactic, and it also made the empire on which the sun never sets.As the so-called one pulse passes, the pulse is connected.Quan Xu did not let the whole family navy completely learn the naval tactics of Venice, but groped for his own strategy.As the first Quan Xu to take a suicide ship to carry out a naval attack, he naturally always guards against the enemy from returning the enemy with his own way.Overall, for nearly a quarter of an hour of fighting, none of the suicide ships sent by Zheng Zhilong broke through the 500-meter distance of the family army's warship, and the battle turned into a massacre.Of course, if the weapon is developed to a certain extent, for example, to the point where the artillery can fire at a sufficient speed, then there is no need to adopt this tactic, and the current rate of fire of artillery is not even comparable to that of the gun, then this tactic can only be adopted to avoid its own threat.After a full quarter of an hour, the whole family army and navy retreated, and at the same time extended the distance, so that the suicide ship was always in the point of being beaten, although it is said that the whole family army consumed a lot of shells.For Quan Xu, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.If it's time to fight hard, you have to fight hard, but there is no need to sacrifice the lives of soldiers in order to save shells.Helena watched this naval battle with a very sour heart.Quan Xu is too rich, Venice can't afford this kind of battle.As a professor at the Naval Academy of the Family Army and Chief of Staff of the Family Navy, Saraño was smiling with interest: "The children are playing well!"
”This is characteristic of European generals, who refer to their soldiers as children, as if to show that they love their soldiers like children."
You really have no reservations about them!"
Helena was a little sour, this tactic is a mature tactic commonly used by the navy of the Venetian city-state republic in the face of the Ottoman navy, in fact, the Ottoman navy not only likes to fight more and less, but prefers to fight in gangs, because of the backward shipbuilding technology, no matter how much it costs, they want to capture the Venetian warship intact.Saraño heard what Helena meant, and he hurriedly explained: "I didn't teach them this tactic, I do have reservations about them, you also know that the Ming people are too smart, they like to draw inferences, in their words, this is better than blue!"
”"What if......
What do you make the Republic of Venice a city-state?
”"Your Royal Highness Princess, there is no case!"
Saraño said lightly: "If there is really that day, we can't do anything except surrender with dignity, you don't know enough about Daming, it's like saying that now, there are nearly six thousand students in the Naval Military Academy in Liaodong, and there are eight main warships in the shipyard in Jinzhou, which will be launched in April next year, plus the shipyard in Dengzhou, that is sixteen, even if this huge fleet is completely wiped out, His Excellency the Marquis can recover its strength in two years at most!"
”Helena was also a little desperate: "Are we going to accept our fate?
”"What can you do if you don't accept your fate?
This is the sorrow of small countries!
”Saraño said with a depressed face: "Your Excellency's army is now more than that of Fili IV of Spain, that is, Your Excellency the Marquis is too far away from Spain, otherwise, the European war can be over!"
”Just when Helena was worried about Europe, Zheng Zhilong also had a headache, he originally thought that more than 6,000 suicide ships, how could they fight hundreds of family army warships.But in fact, this is just wishful thinking.Just like later generations, individual anti-tank missiles have been developed for five or six generations, from the initial range of tens of meters, to the current eight kilometers, but no country has given up equipping tanks, instead of a large number of armed light infantry.Although from the cost point of view, such a small point is indeed likely to cause losses to large warships, but in fact, it is a pile of human lives.Although he retreated like this, he couldn't pull his face a little, but the key is that Xiaoxiong is not a hero, a hero wants a face, and Xiaoxiong never knew what a face was."
Withdraw, follow the plan!"
The Poseidon began to shed its camouflage, hoisted its sails, pulled anchor and set sail.Until now, Quan Xu knew that there were not only a large number of suicide ships under his nose, but also so many large warships.However, because the golden channel is too narrow, there is no way to make a detour, and if these suicide ships are not wiped out, there is no way to deal a devastating blow to Zheng Zhilong's main warship!
Yang Yandong said: "Quan Shuai, divide the troops, I will take a part of the warship to pursue Zheng Zhilong!"
”In fact, this naval battle was a bit miserable, and Yang Yandong can't be blamed for this, because the sixteen main warships of Liaodong led by Quan Xu, including the attached Flying Fish warship, a total of nearly 100 warships, all of which are new recruits.Therefore, there will be problems such as incomplete reconnaissance, and no matter how well-trained the recruits are, accidents may occur on the battlefield.Just like in World War II, the highest-ranking general killed in the U.S.
Army was Lieutenant General Leslie McNair, who inspected the French battlefield and was killed by its strategic bomber unit in the form of carpet bombing.Do you think this is the biggest oolong?
Actually, no, the biggest oolong incident was on the USS Porter, a torpedo fired directly at the battleship Iowa, when Roosevelt and more than 80 senior American officials were on Iowa, if it wasn't for the torpedo exploding at a position of 1,000 feet, the history of World War II would have been rewritten.The whole family army and navy are no problems, it's just that they don't reconnoiter thoroughly because they underestimate the enemy, at least they didn't fire at their own commander's flagship.It is true that the Navy is not something that can be played if you want to, this requires accumulation and precipitation.The detachment leader who was in charge of commanding the reconnaissance fleet was kneeling in front of Quan Xu at this time, and he didn't dare to raise his head.He, like Yuan Zongdi, belongs to the second generation of the whole family army, and was once the pride of Jinti Academy, and he is also the most promising Hua'an in Jinti Academy.Quan Xu is actually helpless, why does he pressure the whole family army to not set up a military-level unit?
It's because there's no one in your hands."
Get out, if you're careless, I'll kick you to death!"
