Most of the shells of later generations are oval with a sharp warhead, and when the shell is ejected, the warhead rotates at high speed and goes to the target due to the effect of rifling, and the penetrating power is very strong.

The conventional artillery shell of this era is a large round iron ball, and the cannons are all smoothbore guns, and the shells roll irregularly and go to the target when they hit the barrel, and the striking power is not small, and the penetration is not strong.

Most of the time, a direct hit of a cannonball may not be able to penetrate the gun deck, but no one can predict whether there will be shells that will basically overlap under the indiscriminate bombardment of the shells.

In such a situation, the luck of the battleship that was hit by the guns was too bad, and it was troublesome for the cannonballs to penetrate the gun deck and enter the bilge, and the bottom bilge was not guaranteed to leak, and if the leaks could not be repaired in time at this time, the wounded warships could be sunk by the enemy.

If there is no leakage and it is still shelled by enemy ships incessantly, then there is no suspense about sinking into the sea.

But, here are the buts! Under normal circumstances, enemy ships are reluctant to sink their opponents, and everyone likes to capture them, after all, a big war ship is worth the money of the old nose, and it is not in vain to sink into the sea.

Therefore, most of the warships that have lost the ability to counterattack by enemy ships in naval battles will choose to surrender, and they will be sunk by the enemy at sea, and it will be difficult to have one or two survivors on board.

Commanders of the enemy country are generally able to return to their hometowns after surrendering, as long as they are willing to pay the ransom, and the West and the East have completely different understandings of integrity, and they have adopted a tolerant attitude towards generals who have experienced defeat and surrender.

Huang Han's robbery this time was to deal with the Junk ship without a special gun deck, and the rear-mounted Franc cannon could quickly change the gun to shoot scattered bullets, and the dense rain of bullets had a great effect on the sailors and gunners on the open deck, and the damage to the ship was relatively small.

Therefore, when the armed merchant ships were captured, they basically did not encounter decent resistance, and even Shi Daxuan's Eighteen Zhi pirate army was beaten to the point that they were unable to fight back.

But the Galen ship that fought the Dutch was completely different, and it was difficult to kill the gunners of the enemy ship without knocking open the hard compartments of the Galen ship with live ammunition.

This is completely a hard-to-face contest between the copper pot and the iron brush, but fortunately, Huang Han has a numerical advantage of seven or two, and has the firepower advantage of the rear-loading Franc machine that can be launched quickly and continuously.

There were still a lot of gun emplacements on the Udwater that were not destroyed, and the Dutch did not stand still, they fired the only remaining guns, and there were also twenty large iron balls that hit the "Red Banner Army" warship, causing many casualties.

At this time, the superiority of the Furlong cannon was reflected, when the Dutch gunners pulled back the cannon loading, our artillery was fired one after another, taking advantage of the time difference between the Dutch to pull back the cannon loading, the Furlong machine gun was dry for four rounds, and under the dense rain of bullets, the Dutch completed the reloading of only five guns.

This is the disadvantage of pulling the front-loading artillery around, because the Hongyi cannon that fired the 24-pound shells weighed nearly 5,000 catties, and it was inevitable that there would be no shrapnel, wood chips, or even broken arms and stumps at the scene of the Ming artillery bombardment.

At this time, the Xiyi artillery in the gun deck had not yet adopted the track, that is, it relied on steel wheels to push and pull, when there was debris on the deck, it was a tragedy, the iron wheels of the cannon were blocked, and with five or six gunners, it was impossible to push the behemoth close to 5,000 catties.

The Hongyi cannons on the "Red Banner Army" warships are all optimized in design, not only with preset tracks, but also with shock absorbing springs to eliminate most of the recoil, which can reduce the damage to the warship and increase the service life of the warship.

When the gunners on the Udwater pushed out the barrels and were about to be released, they ushered in another round of artillery fire from the Ming army, and two more guns were directly knocked out, and in the end, only one twelve-pound shell and two twenty-four-pound shells fell into Huang Han's flagship, killing three gunners and more than a dozen people being wounded and falling on the deck.

The Dutch had a kind of warship, they had already seen which warship was the flagship of the seven Ming warships, and the cannonballs greeted Huang Han's ship as much as possible.

The twelve-pounder gun, which had inflicted casualties on the Red Banner Army, could not have been fired, because at least twelve Minnie guns fired at the Dutchmen who had opened fire, and the three surviving Dutch gunners were lying on the deck twitching.

The two twenty-four-pounder guns couldn't fire, and no one even pulled them back to reload.

Because the scattered shells of the Fran cannon then covered the enemy ship, and the Galen ship, which had been riddled with five rounds of live ammunition, leaked everywhere, and the iron of three or four coins hit through the hole made by the shell so that there could be no life on this side.

The casualties of the "Red Banner Army" were very different from those of other troops, and the medical soldiers braved the artillery fire to treat the robes, and when they saw that their brothers who were in love with each other were killed and wounded by the enemy, all the soldiers were red-eyed, and they gritted their teeth one by one to fire the cannons.

With the "Whoosh! With a few clicks, the steel spears fired from the bed crossbow nailed the huge hull of the Udwater, and as they were dragged close to their own ship, the Minnie gunners kept firing at all the moving objects that could be found on the Xiyi warship.

Approaching within a hundred paces, hundreds of autogenous guns were fired from seven ships, and the possibility of the Dutch firing again was gone.

Next, under the cover of the Marine Corps, the Cold Weapon Sword and Shield Men entered the enemy ship along the five gangplanks that stretched out towards the enemy ship.

At this time, there were few people in the Xiyi Jumping Gang to take over the battle, and the survivors wielding Western swords could not beat the Huijiazi who was wrapped in steel, even if there was a cold gun to shoot soft lead bullets, it was impossible to penetrate the steel shield of the sword and shield hand.

The language barrier, the "Red Banner Army" did not shout for the enemy to surrender, but Xiyi's understanding was not low, and the survivors began to pull out the white cloth and wave, muttering and not knowing what to say, but they all let the Ming army see their empty hands without exception.

The Udvoort and Venlo had a total crew of more than 310 people, and no more than 70 were able to get a chance of surrendering, and more than half of them were still scarred.

In this era, the Xiyi had gradually looked down on the Ming sailors, and they believed that the tactics of the Ming sailors were still stuck in the early part of the last century, and they were more than a hundred years behind.

The reason why the Dutch attacked the Ming Dynasty several times without success was because it was too far away from Europe, the country was too big, there were too many small sea ships rushing up to fight hand-to-hand or set fire, and their warriors were too brave, and they were desperate one by one.

Today, the red-haired devils have been taught a lesson, and they are all depressed, and the arrogance in their hearts is gone.

Although the Ming army still bullied the less, it was the East India Company's first-class warship that was captured, and when the other warships went out to fight in formation, the Udwater was the flagship nine times out of ten.

The Ming Dynasty was able to defeat and capture even the most advanced warships of the East India Company, so how would the Asian business be done in the future?
