The leader was destroyed, and the other ships couldn't help but slow down, and the result was even worse, eating a meal of shells, they could not play the role of interception, and watched as the Southeast Fleet bit the main fleet of the Fujian Naval Division and could not catch up.

The Fujian sailors, who had been under two artillery fires before, blew up the battalion, and the ships were spread out very far from each other, so as not to be too dense and invite a dense attack from the other side.

Seeing their evacuated formation, Li Ying boldly led the fleet to cut into the formation of the Fujian Naval Division.

In this way, there were enemy ships on both sides, and the left and right sides of the Kaohsiung ship opened fire to the fullest, although the Fujian naval division could be separated, but the Kaohsiung ship still maintained a fairly high hit rate, as long as the guns were fired, almost all of them hit.

The artillery fire invaded, and the Fujian Navy Division was beaten to pieces.

"The training has paid off!" The other warships were like this, and the laughter that erupted was mixed with Dutch and English, and many foreigners participated in the battle, and even commanded the warships as captains.

By the time the Fujian Navy Division gathered the warships, the Southeast Fleet had already spread its sails, ran to the front and turned again, and came back to shell again.

In this way, after the Fujian naval division left Penghu, it endured the constant shelling of the enemy, and was sunk five ships (the battle during the sail period, if it is not a very intensive attack, it is more difficult to sink the opponent), half of the warships were attacked, and they were more or less hit, and even Yu Zhihao's flagship also suffered a near-miss bomb, but there were no casualties.

The number of dead and wounded was less than 500, which was not worth mentioning for a force of more than 20,000.

It is conceivable that the lethality of the warships in the early stage of the sail period was still inferior, and the firepower output was insufficient, so it was necessary to build larger warships to enter the battle.

The effect of guerrilla warfare may be even better if it is carried out as soon as the war begins, and even if Li Ying leads the cruising fleet to do its best, it will still not be able to prevent the other side from approaching the coast of Taiwan.

There were not many dead and wounded, and the morale of many officers and men was dealt a great blow, and the ships of the Southeast Fleet were fast and fierce, so how could they deal with them.

But it also aroused the ferocity of some officers and soldiers, if they landed, or caught the battleship of the Southeast Province, then the baby would be killed.

The roaring cannon suddenly fell silent, and after a round of fighting, the Southeast Province Clipper no longer turned, and broke away from the battle and headed for Taiwan itself.

The tense nerves of the officers and men up and down the Fujian Navy Division were relaxed, and the other side could deal with them unless they stayed in a hard battle, but time did not allow it.

"Look!" Everyone looked to the east in surprise and the coastline in sight.

Closer, they saw the two huge ships on the sea and the huge fleet behind them, and they couldn't help but be stunned, many of them thought that they would flee and return!

……

The sun rises, the glow shines in a thousand ways, and the light in the water changes magnificently, setting off the murderous sea battlefield.

On the sea surface opposite Beigang, Yan Changwu, the overseer of the Southeast Province, dispatched his nest and led two third-class battleships, four fifth-class battleships, two Spanish-style galleons, and six modified Daifuku ships as the second strike group.

There are also 200 boats, boats, boats, birds, etc., as the third strike group.

All the capable fighters were dispatched, and those who could come could come, with a total strength of 30,000 troops!

Among them, the artillery of the second strike group is as high as 70 * 2 + 44 * 4 + 30 * 2 + 16 * 6 = 472 guns, and the first strike group has joined it, this strike group has 28 * 16 = 448 guns, a total of 920 guns, and the number of guns on one side is as high as 460!

In addition to the marines, many of them are fishermen, and it is not a problem to control the boat, and almost everyone on the above combatants has a flintlock pistol!

"When you see an enemy, shoot!" That's what it says above.

Thanks to the previous investment, the flintlock pistol factory built by Yan Changwu also appeared with the aura of "infrastructure madness", the workers worked in three shifts, producing a thousand flintlock pistols a month at a terrifying speed, and the assault lasted for five months, plus the previous one, tens of thousands of flintlock pistols have been produced!

Thus armed, everyone stood with guns and courage.

Muskets do have benefits, as long as you have a musket, give it to an individual, and you can get a passing musketeer in a month, because the process of firing a gun is too simple.

On the contrary, no matter how good the bow and arrow

The propaganda is very home (the characteristics of the dynasty brought by Yan Changwu), everyone knows that the government on the other side of the strait has bad intentions, we are working here, they want to take the fruits of our labor, they want us not to live a good life!

To be honest, the life of the southeast mansion is still quite good... Yan Dalongtou only receives 20% of the land income and a month's forced labor, the land is his, the government is also his, there is no bullying of the people, how can there be such a good place in this world, only the southeast mansion!

Many officials are sanctimonious, saying that they love the people like sons, but in fact they invade the people like hatred.

Yan Da Longtou is doing what he says, and if he doesn't get close to the people, he really doesn't get close to the people (except for wars)... This is inevitable, otherwise it would not be in vain!

He gave the people a little light, but the people returned him ten percent of the heat, hearing that the official army was coming to seize the locality, the people were horrified, they worked hard, showing the aura of "infrastructure madness", and actively joined the army, almost no one evaded the conscription order, and went to the battlefield when called!

With the same hatred of the enemy, all the people are soldiers, waiting to send the invading officers and soldiers into the Dragon Palace as horses! (Are there so many dragon maidens in the Dragon Palace?) ）

It is precisely because of this situation that Yan Changwu also worked hard to shoulder the responsibility on himself, wanting to reduce the casualties of his own people.

In response to the Fujian Naval Division, his two big ships can be placed like this: First, as he is now, he will put on a dignified array to meet the enemy. The second is to put away the big ships and raid the officers and troops when they reach a certain level.

Each has its own advantages, the first method can attract a lot of firepower from the beginning while deterring the enemy, so it is dangerous for itself, but it is less dangerous for the people who participate in the war themselves. The second way is to increase the danger to the people involved in the war, and the chances of victory are higher.

Many people think that the big ship should be used on the blade, but Yan Changwu used the big ship at the beginning of the decisive battle against public opinion.

Some people secretly laughed at him for being "pedantic and benevolent to women", but they also had to admit that everyone trusted him with confidence in such a leader!

Fortunately, he set up an intelligence bureau and showed a great role in maintaining his own regime, otherwise some guys would have thought about it undeservedly.

……

Large and small ships are in a neat formation, and flags are flying.

On the platform raised behind the "Southeast Mansion" ship, Yan Changwu's eyes slowly swept across the vast sea, and when he saw the enemy ships coming, the battleships behind him gathered, and he only waited for him to give an order, and he immediately fought and killed, and a heroic feeling of history in my hands arose.

Looking around at the officers on the left and right, everyone was excited, but the chief of staff next to him, Mr. David, had a calm face, after all, he was already an uncle in his thirties and had seen the world. And like Yan Changwu and the like, even if it is a commander, captain, and officer, most of them are young and young.

Yan Changwu took out a saber, swung it forward, and increased his momentum and said, "Go to war!" ”
