Chapter 412: Catch the boat

Who knew that General Pingliao was merciless, and really treated the Eighteenth Zhi Army as pirates, and the warships within the range were hit by shells.

Dense three or four coins of small iron attacked the upper deck like raindrops, and the sailors and gunners in the open air were instantly killed and wounded, where is there the ability to fight back?

This is the disadvantage of Asian warships without dedicated gun compartments, if there is a gun deck to provide protection, how can the damage caused by a mere scatter shell be so terrible?

On the warships of the "Red Banner Army", the guns of the Furlong machine guns had been loaded again, and the second round of strikes was immediately launched, and none of Shi Daxuan's warships and armed merchant ships had set sail and fled, and they were all suffering from the rain of bullets.

It's not that Shi Daxuan is brave and tenacious and fights to the death, but they can't escape, because there are basically no living people on the deck, no one to lift the sails, how can the sea ship slip away?

At this time, the enemy had become a one-sided beating, and the combat effectiveness of the Zheng Jiashui Division was too weak, and the battle line seemed redundant.

Huang Han gave the order, the flagship flag was waved, and all the captains read the new order, dispersed control of the enemy ships, and captured all the thirteen warships and armed merchant ships.

Just after the third round of artillery fire, there were several enemy ships that began to wave white cloths, they did not have white flags, they found white cloth or white underwear tied to the bamboo poles and danced desperately, because they were afraid of being attacked by bullets and rain of bullets, they had to make their bodies not exposed, all of them were very hard.

The sailors of the "Red Banner Army" understood that killing people was a last resort, and that the ultimate goal was to cross the goods, and when they found that the enemy ships were asking for surrender, the gunners immediately stopped the fourth round of firing.

The artillerymen and marines shouted in unison, hoping that the enemy ships would hear clearly, and then "lay down their weapons and come to the foredeck with their heads in their hands and kneel down to avoid death!" The shouts echoed among the dozen or so warships.

To say that the understanding of the Han people is really not low, immediately some people stumbled out, many people have been injured, and more people were frightened to the point that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

The Eighteen Zhi Pirate Army shouted: "General, don't open fire, we are also the Ming army, we surrender!" ”

The Red Banner Army shouted: "Kneel down honestly, dare to disobey General Pingliao's orders, and live impatiently?" ”

"A bunch of cheap bones, don't cry when you don't see the coffin, you have to die so many people know each other!"

The Eighteen Zhi Pirate Army, whose courage was defeated, cried at this time, "Woo woo, stop fighting, we know each other, we are wrong, we should not disobey the general's orders." ”

Shi Daxuan's command cabin was relatively sturdy, and the wood was covered with iron and copper sheets, and countless iron pieces hit it like hail, but fortunately, the projectiles that pierced the partition did not exist.

Only two or three people in the command compartment were shot, and one of them had his head smashed and was warped, and it was a part of the shotgun that came in through the window.

Seeing his own soldiers die in front of him, Shi Daxuan was scared into a cold sweat, when did Daming have such a powerful warship?

He has been on the sea for more than ten years and has fought hundreds of naval battles of various sizes, and he has never seen a warship with such sharp fire.

You must know that the last time they won the Dutch's five deck warships, the Zheng family's sailors dispatched hundreds of warships, and in the end, many fireships fought together to make the Dutch lose a small deck ship and escape.

The Dutch may have been killed by dozens of people, while the Zheng family lost more than a dozen fireships, five warships, as many as 20 ships were damaged, and more than 1,000 sailors and gunners were killed and wounded.

Now seeing that General Pingliao's warships were no smaller than the Dutch warships, and the artillery fire was not weaker than that of Hongmao Xiyi, Shi Daxuan knew that there was no more chance and decisively chose to surrender.

This is the benefit of Huang Han having the righteousness of the court in hand, Shi Daxuan may not be a soft bone, but his master Zheng Zhilong has returned to the court, is it necessary for him to fight to the death with the Daming Sailor at the critical moment of life and death?

This is unrealistic, the integrity is really impossible to play in this situation, Shi Daxuan can only choose to surrender in order to save more of his subordinates, and to leave his own life.

The flagships of the thirteen eighteen Zhi warship formations raised the white flag, the main general Shi Daxuan announced his surrender, and the rest of the warships were even more unlikely to be obsessed, and this naval battle ended like this.

More than 300 Zheng soldiers were killed and more than 200 were seriously injured, and now they are being treated urgently by the medical staff of the 'Red Banner Army', and the remaining 700 or so Zheng troops have been disarmed and screened.

Shi Daxuan's fleet formed by these thirteen warships did not have the Ming imitation of the Western large ships three-masted gunboats, this kind of ship was too cumbersome, and the standard crew was more than 300, and it was estimated that Zheng Zhilong thought that this ship was too slow, so he gave it up.

The Fu ship series should be the regular equipment of the Zheng family, and Shi Daxuan's fleet has three large ships with a crew of 110 people with a crew of 110 brigs, twin rudders, and double iron anchors, one of which is Shi Daxuan's flagship, as well as five medium-sized ships, and five other types of Fu ships.

In the eyes of Huang Han, the so-called rushing ships were too backward, and they could only bully Toyotomi Hideyoshi's even more unbearable sailors in the Wanli year of the last century, and only battleships with a large number of fierce artillery fire could run rampant in the sea in the seventeenth century.

However, it took half a century for the boat to catch up as the main warship of the Eighteen Zhi, and the main warship of Zheng Chenggong's sailor division was actually this thing, and in the end, the Manshui division led by Shi Lang still rushed the boat.

Damn, Daming salvaged a few Western shipwrecks to know the imitation of the Franco cannon and the Hongyi cannon.

In the last days, it is possible that the national strength will deteriorate because of the need to fight the Liukou and Jiannu, and the big war ship seems to be useless to deal with the Liukou and Jiannu, so he gave up the development of the sailor and let Zheng Zhilong play under the banner of the Ming Dynasty at sea.

How stupid should the Manchu Qing be to have seen the great warships of Xiyi and didn't know how to imitate them, but they still built the ships that were two centuries behind and equipped the sailors for another two hundred years.

The captured Zheng sailors and gunners Huang Han were not ready to be returned, nor would they be killed, so the young soldiers began to interrogate the surrendered army in groups of two, and registered the names of the surrendered soldiers and established a file.

There are so many old armies of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to kill them all, and it is too wishful thinking to let them go home to farm.

I am used to the days of licking blood with a knife, and I am not used to the days of digging in the soil no matter what.

Especially those soldiers who are physically strong and have combat skills, let them go unchecked, nine times out of ten, they will go from thieves to cadres among the rogues.

Therefore, the transformation of the old army should be put on the agenda, Liu Zaiqi flickered along the coast of Shandong, and the war refugees defected to Ningyuan and did not have time to cross the sea, and the propaganda team only had a small flag to follow, and the small flag official was a former Liaodong Xiucai Gong, whose name was He Shouxin, who was in his thirties.

At this time, he was standing straight with ten members of the propaganda team and listening to Huang Han's assignments.
