Chapter 850: Defeat the Netherlands
On the surface of the sea, the roaring sound of cannons continued, clouds of white smoke rose up, and iron bullets whistled out of the smoke, and the scene was magnificent and magnificent.
I saw that on the two gunboats, the guns sticking out of the gun window, after the eruption, one after another, retreated, and after loading, they were pushed back to the gun position by the gunner, and the pitch-black gun muzzle stretched out from the gun window again.
The two sides fired continuously, and the gunpowder smoke produced formed two almost parallel smoke bands, like clouds in the sky, falling on the sea.
The ship shook slightly with the shelling, and the Dutch officer, in the smoke of gunfire, let out the life and shouted, "Hetschieten!" The Ming Military Academy also roared, "Fire!" ”
The sea surface was intertwined with bullets and rains, and the mast of a bright ship was hit by an iron bullet, and the towering mast broke with a "click", shook a few times with a "creak", and suddenly fell to the bow, and the soldiers on the deck could not dodge, and the entire bow was covered by a white canvas, but only for a moment, the soldiers used their knives to break the canvas, drilled out one by one, withdrew the canvas, and continued to operate the artillery.
On the side of the Dutch, there were also a series of shots, an iron bullet penetrated the second layer of the KLM's guard, causing a large hole in the side side, the iron bullet swept inside the ship, and the sparks that hit it ignited a barrel of gunpowder, and the whole Dutch warship immediately exploded from the middle, the top deck was lifted off, the main mast was also blown into the sea, the hull of the ship was blazing, and many Dutch jumped from the ship into the sea in panic.
On the Dutch flagship, the officer hurriedly reported to Kauwu, "Your Excellency, the Hector has been sunk!" ”
On the side of the Ming army, a Guangdong gunboat also tilted, and it was about to sink into the water.
In the artillery battle, the Dutch artillery sharp, accurate shelling, occupy the advantage, eight Ming artillery ships, are already scarred, Chen Zilong standing beside Zheng Chenggong, his heart is already shocked, just like the Dutch can't think of so many Chinese, casually dispatched tens of thousands of people, the Ming Dynasty's officials, although they know that the Dutch Yi is difficult, but they did not expect that the Dutch Yi is so powerful.
In fact, both sides have their own pride and prejudice, even in the eyes of the more enlightened officials of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch are just Yi, just like the Japanese in the past, they are still inferior to China in essence, but this fight made Chen Zilong realize that the world has changed.
"The sun and the moon shine on the mountain, the Great Wall is a line, the surging strait is ten thousand waves, the sail is thousands of years, this is my mountain, this is my sea, this is the good home of the Han family for generations, keep my mountain, guard my sea, keep China's sea frontier is inviolable, sailor man, my sea and sky territory, ······"
"Country name!" Chen Zilong was in the rumbling cannon, and suddenly heard a faint singing voice with a tragic atmosphere, he turned his head to look, and immediately exclaimed in pain, "Ying Yuan is sinking!" ”
The five gunboats in Guangdong are named after the famous generals of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and the Ying Yuan was in front of the entire queue, and was attacked by concentrated fire, causing an explosion, Zheng Chenggong listened, looked at the gunboats tilted in the distance, his hands couldn't help but clench, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Give the order to let the boat save people!" ”
The Ming army was not an opponent for the big ships, and now they could only rely on more than 500 small boats to swarm up and fight in close quarters.
Zheng Chenggong and Chen Zilong both set their eyes on the five hundred large and small warships that had already swarmed into the enemy ships, their eyes stared at them, and they silently thought in their hearts, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" ”
The flagship of the Dutch army, Kaauu was holding a clairvoyant mirror, looking at the inclined Ming warship, and now although both sides scrapped one, it was mainly the bad luck of the Dutch army, and Hector was hit by the ammunition barrel, which caused the explosion. At this time, there were still nine Dutch ships left, and most of them were in good condition, but the Ming ships were scarred, and many of the masts were discounted.
"Commander, the Ming fleet is pressing on us!"
Kaowu put down the clairvoyant mirror, more than 500 large and small warships, like two arrows, rushed towards the Dutch ships, there were too many, and he was now pinned down by the Ming gunboats, and it was impossible to be distracted to deal with the Ming Dynasty boats.
"Let them go on top, and when I defeat the main gunboats of the Chinese, these little guys will naturally escape!" Kao Wu ordered, and picked up the clairvoyant mirror again, "The artillery is concentrated on bombarding the flagship of the Chinese!" ”
The command flag was hoisted on the main mast, and the Dutch army, with a total of seventy warships, immediately met the attack, trying to prevent the Ming ships from approaching.
There are many ships of the Ming army, the Dutch fleet naturally does not dare to hedge, seeing the flag, after the Dutch fleet went forward, immediately turned the rudder to adjust the sail, lined up in a double horizontal formation, and the side side was aimed at the rushing Ming warships, intending to exert the maximum firepower, and the Ming army because of the arrow charge, the bow of the ship aimed at the enemy ship, so it could not exert all its strength, which was equivalent to the Dutch army seizing the "T" head, but the number of Ming ships made up for this disadvantage.
In the face of absolute superiority in troops and warships, no matter what tactics the Dutch use or what "T" head they grab, it is useless, that is, the great powers do not use power to schem, and directly crush with strength.
The big ships of the Ming army are not as good as the Dutch, but the small ships of the Ming army are much stronger than the pirates and small state sailors found by the Netherlands.
Five hundred large and small warships, excluding the chain boats and other fireships that were not equipped with artillery, even if the bow was equipped with only one cannon, there were three or four hundred cannons firing at the same time.
The boat was fast, mobile and flexible, and soon the distance between the two armies was closer, and the Hongyi cannon on the bow of the Ming army opened fire again and again, and the bird gunners also poured into the bow of the ship, and the soldiers sacrificed fire dragons out of the water and other water weapons, and all went to the enemy ship to greet them.
Where have the pirates and the small countries of Nanyang seen this formation, and after just one round of cannons, they were suppressed by the Ming Dynasty naval army, and they were completely incomparable, and they were hit one after another, and there were bursts of screams.
After the Ming artillery was fired, the cannon body was hot and could not be fired again, but the Ming army's fire suppression did not stop, and the sergeants on the ship carried out a swarm of bees, and countless rockets fired at the enemy ship, igniting the sails, and the sea immediately became thick smoke.
During the naval battle, the distance between the two ships was too far, and the bow and arrow were generally not detained, but the bows and arrows of the Ming army's naval battle were mostly rockets, and at the same time the manpower was shot, there was gunpowder boost, and the range was extremely long, but there was no accurate head, but the Ming army did not require killing, as long as it could shoot the enemy ship and ignite the ship.
Most of these firearms have been tested in the naval battle to aid Korea, so there is no problem.
The pirate ship and the small state of the South Seas, where there are so many tricks of the Ming army, are completely at a disadvantage.
Although the Ming army may still be lacking in this aspect, as a large country with a history of thousands of years of naval forces, no one can surpass it in close combat and traditional tactics.
"Bang", the Ming army rushed to the front of a search for fortune ship, hit the side of a pirate ship, and immediately smashed the guard plate of the pirate ship to the side, the hull tilted to the side, the pirate on the deck stood unsteadily, like dumplings, rolled to the side of the ship, and some did not catch something, and rolled directly into the sea.
The bow of the Ming army arched high, and then fell back, and the soldiers above also shook their bodies and fell one after another.
The hull of the ship that crashed together shook violently a few times, and the fallen soldier held on to the guard, and hurriedly stood up with his weapon, and after a while, the hull of the ship stabilized, and the sound of killing on the deck shook the sky, and Yu Fangqi, the deputy general of the naval division, shouted: "Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and those who retreat die!" ”
The Ming soldiers shouted loudly, jumped into the pirate ship one after another, and slashed each other with the pirates, and the flesh and blood flew on the deck, and from time to time there were clouds of blood mist.
Pirates can fight alone, robbing merchant ships, but once they meet regular officers and soldiers, the gap is immediately apparent, and they are killed and retreated, and many of them have nothing to avoid, or even jump into the sea.
No matter how the pirates say it, they still have some combat power, and the small state of Nanyang is purely here to join in the fun.
A Ming military fortune ship, with an iron-clad headbutt, directly broke the ship of a small South Sea country, and it was a mess.
Seventy ships, how could it be possible to compete with five hundred ships, the Dutch army was in two horizontal formations, and they were immediately knocked away by the arrow array.
The Ming army did not entangle, and after breaking through the Dutch blockade, nearly 100 fireships swarmed up, only fighting the Dutch gunboats.
Under the attack of the Dutch gunboats, Zheng Chenggong's ship was already in a mess, and Kaowu was about to succeed, and a seriously damaged Ming gunboat was swaying in front of the Ming flagship.
"Not good, Your Excellency Commander, the Kerlandon and the Continster were set on fire by the Chinese."
The battlefield on the sea is vast, and the smoke of gunpowder obscures the vision, Kaowu's attention is on the Ming gunboat opposite, suddenly heard the shout, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly put down the clairvoyant mirror to look at the side, only to see that in the smoke of gunpowder, nearly 100 Ming army boats have broken through the Dutch escort and rushed over, he was suddenly shocked.
