PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Curtain Rain and Evening Breeze".

Nabul is in the combined fleet, and he is also mixed with a deputy commander, which is still for the sake of the face of the old woman in Great Britain, otherwise, he is a foil who is ignored.

Of course, another important reason for this is that the largest component of this combined fleet is the red hair, the red hair (Portuguese) who have lived in Dongfan Island for many years, and they have the halo of "sea supremacy" on their heads, although they are now challenged by the newly rising England, but in the East China Sea, it is obvious that the power of England is not as strong as that of the red hair.

At the same time, the red-haired ghost also distrusts the English, and in the face of the British who dare to challenge him, the red-haired ghost may be far more wary of them than Wu Zheng.

However, no matter how deep the hostility and vigilance are, in the matter of provocation and attack on Hangzhou Mansion, the will of the two sides, no, and many parties is the same.

Because, a powerful China is absolutely not conducive to the interests of these foreign countries, and the most direct thing is that Wu Zheng's tariffs starting from 50% have touched their fundamental interests.

It's just that although their navy is strong, they can travel tens of thousands of miles to Asia, and for the sake of money, they do not have enough troops in their hands to conquer this land that they covet.

Therefore, in the past three or four years, they have hidden their fangs and relaxed the vigilance of the General's Mansion in the form of a well-behaved child.

In fact, this incident of forced requisition of materials at the port is just an excuse.

No matter how great the material losses are, they will not be enough to form a combined fleet and wage war against a powerful regime tens of thousands of miles from the mainland.

What's more, on the premise that Wu Zheng has even promised compensation for the original price, this is obviously not a matter of compensation, but to completely abolish Wu Zheng's "unfair" tariffs in World War I.

When the commander of the Combined Fleet, Briton Kerry Thorne, heard that the front of the fleet was under strong attack by the enemy, he quickly ordered the main force to press forward, and at the same time ordered the front of the fleet to implement the tactic of "lining up and shooting".

……。

Nabul was in pain.

The weather was not good, and the fog affected the view of the lookout.

He keenly felt that the enemy in front of him did not mean to have a fair and dignified duel with him, but was like a slippery loach, specializing in attacking people unprepared.

On the battlefield at this time, both sides are running in an oblique ellipse, and both sides are grabbing the upper hand.

However, because the sailors seized the opportunity at the beginning, they had the initiative that the enemy could not reverse in a short time, and sank one enemy ship and set four enemy ships on fire.

Crucially, Nabur found that the enemy ships seemed to be so fast as his own battleships...... A little?

It was out of this concern that when the order of the Englishman Kerry Thorne came, Nable made an exception and carried it out in earnest.

Thirty enemy capital ships immediately dropped anchor and stopped, and the gun emplacements on the side of the ships were densely covered with black barrels.

The small and medium-sized warships behind them quickly crossed ahead and blocked in front of the capital ships, also in a line, that is to say, two fronts and two.

Then, in this case, the seven capital ships that Shi Lang came out of front had only two options, one was to continue the attack until they were all sunk, and the other way was to retreat quickly and retreat beyond the range of the enemy's gunwales.

However, the naval division battleship chose the first path.

Crazy?

If Wu Zheng was present, he must have these three words in his heart.

The reason why the Battle of Chashan was recorded in history after the war was not how many enemy ships Shi Lang's Zhoushan fleet sank, but because it created a method of warfare, a method of naval warfare.

At this time, naval warfare, due to the large number of heavy artillery equipment, the broadside battle almost did not return to the prosperity of the past.

There is almost no possibility of getting close to a battleship with hundreds of guns, and the only way to defeat it is to sink it!

Seven naval division capital ships can sink several times as many enemy ships as themselves?

How many ships can be sunk?

Isn't that a joke?

When all the enemy ships were anchored and ready to fire an artillery salvo, the capital ships of the seven naval divisions attacked head-on...... Suicide!

Is it suicide?

Twelve miles.

Nabul was surprised, and then joyfully realized that the yellow people on the other side obviously did not know how to fight at sea, so let the great English naval commander Nabul teach them how to fight at sea!

"Fire!" In a majestic voice, Nabul gave the most powerful salvo of the battle.

Ever seen a hailstone?

At this time, the shells that fell on the capital ship of the naval division were like hailstones.

Seven ships, three columns, and the finished zigzag rushed towards the battleships of the enemy formation, and in an instant three of them were hit by a dense number of shells, one of which hit seven shots in a row, burned into a ball of fireball, and dropped anchor.

The six ships remained at maximum speed and charged at the enemy line.

Nabul was even more surprised, with a hint of appreciation in the surprise, but more of a disdain, no matter how strong the mad cow was, he had to surrender under the red cloth of the matador!

Nabul gave one of his wisest orders in the battle, but it was also the one he least wanted and most disdainful, "Tear the sails of the yellow-skinned monkey!" ”

The red-haired man liked to attack the sails of the British, so that the opponent lost the speed of attack and pursuit.

The British, on the other hand, preferred to fire at the enemy's deck at the first opportunity, scrubbing the ground with dense shells and destroying the enemy's gun emplacements.

The shells used in these two types are completely different, one is ordinary shells, which are aimed at piercing the hull of a ship, and the other is chain shells, which are used for the purpose of tearing the sails.

Nabul is an Englishman and likes to go straight, but he is an alternative, so, at this time, Nabul follows the example of the red fur and orders to attack the sails of the sailors.

In the roar of hundreds of heavy artillery, the sails of the naval warships that rushed forward to within ten miles instantly became a sieve, no, it should be a broken sieve.

But the warship still did not stop, and moved forward by inertia.

Nabul, smirked, I'm a knife, a man is a fish!

I don't know where he learned such a Han language, but at this time, it is really appropriate for him X.

Laughing and laughing, but Nabul would not be merciful, and just as he ordered the sinking of the six enemy ships in front of him for the third time, the mutation occurred.

The lookout post on the mast, almost in a mournful, desperate tone, shouted, "Fireship......! ”

Fire ship?

Nabur was a little surprised for a while, he was too familiar with the fireship, this is a kind of suicidal offensive boat, common on the European battlefield, in fact, it is not difficult to crack, the small and medium-sized warships in front of the capital ship are enough to deal with them.

However, is that really a simple fireship?

Obviously not, Shi Lang is not stupid enough to attack these giant battleships with primitive fireships, not to mention that the enemy has hundreds of small and medium-sized warships in front of the enemy's capital ships.

How many fireships did they appear?

Not much, two hundred and forty.

Due to the fog, these "fireboats" were not detected and warned by enemy lookouts until they appeared twenty miles away.
