Chapter 597 Helena's Calculations "Vice Marshal Yang, don't worry, they will definitely not be able to run away this time!"
”"You promised it last time!""
This time is different, we have laid more than 3,000 mines in this sea area, where else can we go if we fully surround them?"
Before the whole family army could take the initiative to attack, a loud bang sounded on the sea.This is a warship belonging to the Swedish Niels, he is the only Swedish warship of the European Combined Fleet this time, he is rushing to make soy sauce, this five-masted sailing ship of more than 800 tons is an armed merchant ship."
Goodbye, everyone!"
Nils didn't say hello, and rushed to the European Combined Fleet in the distance, and he took advantage of the dark sky to prepare to sneak away, so as not to die, he accidentally hit a mine."
What's going on?"
Sir Reilly had just heard the servant's report, and the Swedish Nils actually said goodbye: "Damn coward!
”In fact, Reilly III also made the same plan and quietly said goodbye, this is a war between the Dutch and the Spaniards, and Great Britain is not mixed.As a result, as soon as he lifted anchor and set sail, he heard Nils actually take a step ahead of him, and as soon as his words fell, a loud noise came, which shook his eardrums and made his eyes glow.Reilly III didn't care that his ears were ringing, and he turned his head to look away, only to see countless broken canvas and timber floating like swallows over the Haiyan merchant ship that rushed to Niels, and the hapless armed merchant ship seemed to have been hit by a thousand solid lead bullets at the same time, the mast was upside down, the deck was broken, the keel was broken, and a huge hole the size of the Eight Immortals' Table was opened, and the sea water poured into it frantically, and the hull began to tilt almost instantly."
What's going on?"
Yang Yandong, like Reilly III, was confused."
I don't know, maybe some warship hit a mine!"
Soon the news came that it was indeed a European warship that was sunk by a mine, but the whole family navy also lost its plan to catch turtles in the urn."
Open fire, full compression!"
At this time, there is no point in dwelling on this issue, after all, the whole family army and navy are preparing for a sneak attack, and they have already made plans and seized a favorable position.In fact, naval warfare is the same as land warfare, if you have the upper wind, then you will have the upper hand, and at the upper wind, the bow and crossbow can also shoot farther and more lethal than the wind.In fact, the naval artillery at this time was the same, there was a clear gap between the windward and the downwind.The tactics of "booming and booming ......" are the same as those in the port of Shengzhou, and the whole family army and navy have always adhered to the tactic of injuring ten fingers rather than cutting off one finger, and often a detachment of a fleet catches a warship and beats it fiercely, dozens or hundreds of naval guns, and catches a warship and bombards it violently.In this case, the problem of insufficient hit rate was compensated by numbers, and of the 36 main warships of the whole family army and navy, 32 of them reached the attack position, and more than 450 Exocet warships, in the first salvo, as many as 3,000 ships were launched in an instant.The smoke of gunpowder formed by the naval guns instantly diffused, as if you were in the smoke of gunpowder, and the originally silent sea seemed to be like boiling water, with turbulent waves and water columns soaring into the sky.The explosion was as dense as rolling thunder, and one after another the warships of the European Combined Fleet were blown to pieces by the ship's guns.At this time, in the sea area of Qixing Island, the rumbling explosion was denser and more violent than the thunderstorm in the African grassland, and it was no longer clear whether it was the explosion of mines, the roar of naval artillery, or the power of rocket artillery.The columns of water and fire rushed up in the sound of explosions, and swept the sailors, the beams, the decks, the sails, and even the guns of the European fleet."
What's going on?
Fight back, bastard!
”"Where are we going to fight back?"
What made the European Combined Fleet even more desperate was that their naval guns could not reach the warships of the whole army, and a large amount of gunpowder smoke had blocked their vision, and they did not know where to return fire.The naval sailors of the whole family army, holding the shells stuffed into the barrels, the current family army navy has canceled the front-loading smoothbore guns, and also canceled the kind of solid shells fired with black powder, and all the naval guns are equipped with brakes, although their rate of fire is slightly slower than mortars, but compared with European naval guns, one gun can match their five or eight fire density.The cannonballs whistled sharply, like the kiss of death, and once kissed, they turned into a blazing fire in an earth-shattering explosion.Blood and raging flames stained the Seven Star Strait, the waves howled, the sky wailed, and the desperate cries of the sailors of the United European Fleet changed the color of the heavens and the earth.The terrible artillery bombardment did not weaken, but continued to accelerate, and the ghosts knew how many naval guns the whole family army had, but they knew that the artillery shells of the whole family army were especially powerful, no matter how big the warship was, once it was hit, no matter how big the battleship was, it would be destroyed!
In the midst of desperate screams, one warship after another hoisted the white flag and surrendered to the entire family navy, in fact, from the time Niels's armed merchant ship Jasmine hit a mine, more than half of the combined European fleet hoisted the white flag in just ten minutes.However, the problem is that the whole family army and navy turn a blind eye to this, it's not that they don't want to accept the surrender of the European Combined Fleet, unlike the army cannon fodder, these European armed merchant ships or warships are still useful for Quan Xu.The point is that these warships have a lot of supplies, gold, silver, treasures, spices, even gunpowder, and even precious stones.However, the smoke was so thick that the white flag could not be seen at all, and the combined European fleet was not one battleship after another, but one formation after another turned into burning wreckage.In order to escape, many warships rushed into each other in a panic, and even collided with a mine and shattered in a terrible sound, announcing that there was another shipwreck in the Seven Star Strait.In desperation, the combined European fleet fired shells in an aimless direction, and this firing of artillery was not so much a return fire as it was that they fired into the air to embolden themselves.Qixing Island can hide from the patrol of the whole family army and navy, this sea area is already large, and half of it is close to Luzon Island, the channel is so narrow, the battleships that want to escape are far beyond the limit of the channel can accommodate, everyone is huddled together, unable to move.The entire family navy, as it usually did during training, fired artillery shells and rocket shells at the dense combined European fleet.If the position is opened, although the strength of the European Combined Fleet is slightly weaker than that of the entire family navy, the sailors of the European Combined Fleet are experienced and the ship is old-fashioned, and it can evolve into a duel of equal strength.Even if the whole army and navy can win, it will pay a lot of losses, just like the duel between the British navy and the Spanish armada, although the armada was destroyed, but Britain did not fall into any benefit, completely wounded the enemy by 1,000 and suffered 800 self-losses.It's a pity that now this naval battle has evolved into a one-sided massacre, a group of newly graduated chicks, the slaughter of old veterans, as the so-called, punching the old master to death.In the distance of the naval battle, on the Princess Catherine, Helena lowered her binoculars, and her tall and slender body began to tremble slightly.Originally, she still had a trace of arrogance about the navy of her family, believing that although this navy was well-equipped, it was an out-and-out scout and had the advantage of naval guns.With the same equipment, the Venetian fleet could easily defeat them, but now, the entire family navy has used a series of unbelievable tactics to shatter her little arrogance.Using the narrow strait to lay mines to trap the opponent, and using rocket artillery to slaughter the immobile enemy fleet like a stranded whale, including the use of terrain, the psychology of the enemy and the use of new weapons, all of which completely subverted her understanding of naval warfare.It was the first time she had discovered that naval battles could be so bloody, so hysterical, so crazy!
The whole family navy has been changing and growing, and at the beginning, this small navy defeated a powerful opponent by way of suicide ships, and now they use the same crazy tactics to bury their opponents with cannonballs.The whole family army admirals didn't know, Helena's thoughts, if they knew, they would definitely be wronged.We don't want to be so crazy, but the boss is angry, Yang Yandong is forcing them by jumping into the sea, they can only use the shortest time and the most ruthless way to eliminate the opponent and destroy the enemy.Saraño looked at the distracted princess Helena and said, "Your Royal Highness, you have already paid so much for Venice, is it worth it?"
”"It's worth it!"
Helena smiled faintly: "You don't understand, although I say that I will trade with him, I am also willing to exchange my body with him, it is undeniable that he is like a treasure, and from time to time I will give me unimaginable surprises."
He has a very high IQ, I know that from his position, he will not help the Republic of the Venetian city-state, I don't blame him, he belongs to the Ming Dynasty, belongs to his country, but, with the help of him, I can have a child for him, I am smart, his IQ is higher, the child of the two of us, will definitely be the smartest child in the world, once this child grows up, he will become the consul of our Republic of Venice!
”Saraño: "God, don't you know how much the Ming people attach importance to their children, and with the status of His Excellency the Marquis, it is impossible for him to hand over the children to you!"
”"Yes, you don't understand!"
Helena looked at the sea in the distance and said with a faint smile: "Quan's ambition is great, now is just the beginning, he wants to conquer the world, as an Oriental, we Europeans will definitely unite to resist him, but, my child, our child, become the consul of the city-state republic of Venice, the Venetians have no choice, because the father of this child has a strong energy." ”"Is it okay for you to calculate him like that?"
Helena sighed: "I can't help it, we have no way out of Venice, you know?"
The Venetians are forever slaves!
”S: It's a little late, I'm very sorry, I'm weak to ask for votes!
