No. 080 Naval Clash (6)

Hong Xishan was brave and resolute, and his martial arts were outstanding, and the ordinary sailor battalion soldiers on the flagship of the Ming army had almost no enemies in a few rounds, and several groups of Ming troops who surrounded and blocked were all killed and retreated by Hong Xishan's long knife. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info After Hong Xishan, there were Qing soldiers jumping up one after another, followed by them, in the melee, the Ming army's bird gunners and archers could not shoot, they could only hold knives and spears and fight hand-to-hand with the Qing army who jumped to the gang one after another. When Hong Xishan was busy fighting with the Ming army's naval division, Zhu Youlang, who was in danger, was not idle.

In the process of searching for him while slashing and slashing, he quickly set up a trap, and then appeared on the bow of the ship under the escort of the guards.

I searched for him thousands of times, and it didn't take much effort to get it.

Hong Xishan fought for a long time and finally found the target he was looking for, so he rushed in the direction of Zhu Youlang regardless of it.

Just as Hong Xishan was about to approach the target, a large net converted from a fishing net fell from the sky. Cover Hong Xishan and several guards around him, and then the Ming soldiers hidden in the shadows sealed the net mouth as quickly as possible, and then threw the net into the sea with a net.

As soon as the main general of the Qing army's forward was killed, the remaining people lost their backbone, and they suddenly panicked, and the Qing army that jumped to the flagship of the Ming army could not fight, nor did they retreat, and the offensive weakened unconsciously.

On the contrary, seeing that the enemy army was about to be captured, the morale of the Ming soldiers increased greatly, screaming, all kinds of foul language, slashing and killing with extra strength, and after a while, the Qing soldiers who jumped to the flagship were slashed and killed, and the rest were either forced to jump into the river or driven back to the original warship.

The Qing army's forward ships that originally surrounded the Ming army's flagship had been besieged by the warships sent by the Ming army at this time, and the Ming ships surrounding them fired in a row, and many of the Qing ships in the encirclement were shot and lost control, and kept spinning in place.

Many were shot by rockets, and the ship was on fire, because the fire was too fierce, and after a while, the whole ship was also caught in flames, and the Qing soldiers could not save them, so they could only jump into the sea in a hurry, and most of them drowned.

Witnessing that their ships were on fire one by one due to the attack of the Ming army and then sank, the remaining generals and leaders of the Qing army standing on the deck had clearly realized that the beheading operation had failed, and the defeat was miserable!

Finally, at the suggestion of the other military academies, the generals and leaders hurriedly organized the remaining ships, turned the sails, turned around and ran, except for a dozen or so warships that were too badly injured and ineffective, the other thirty or forty ships had begun to break through.

"Fire! Hurry up! ”

Zhu Youlang raised his eyes to look at the battle situation, and shouted involuntarily, he finally lured the Qing army with his body as a bait, and if he didn't eliminate the Qing army that entered the encirclement of the Chinese army, he was sorry for his sacrifice of his life.

The only two or three 500-material war ships of the Ming army came in handy at this time, and the three big war ships formed a sequence, advancing in order, and when encountering a heavily damaged enemy ship, they rushed directly to it, and sank it with their sturdy hulls and sharp rams, and when they encountered a Qing army ship with less or no damage, they would make up for it with two more cannons nearby. After a burst of collision, the Qing warship was either shot on the spot and sunk, or wounded and sunk.

It's just that in a naval battle, one side only wants to escape, and it is really not easy for the other side to annihilate everything. Although the Ming fleet had tried its best to stop it, in the end, more than 20 Qing warships broke out of the encirclement and fled towards their main fleet.

The Ming fleet bit its back, constantly chasing the defeated Qing fleet, under the pursuit of the Ming fleet, the Qing ships rushed into Shi Lang's main fleet, and the attack formation arranged in advance by Shi Lang was in chaos, Shi Lang knew that the opportunity for this battle had been lost, and continuing to fight would become very passive, and even lead to a big rout, he did not dare to fight for a long time, while ordering a retreat, while returning fire with artillery, the Ming army continued to pursue under the leadership of Yu Long.

After Shi Lang left eight 500-material warships, the warships were not only tall, but also extremely strong. Since the hull is usually made of solid oak planks and is double-layered, the usual attacks of birds, bows and arrows, and shotguns will not have the slightest effect on this type of ship. Each large war ship was equipped with at least ten guns of various types, and the firepower was very powerful, and the small and medium-sized ships of the Ming army were basically destroyed and killed by a round of shelling.

Although the big war ship has these advantages, but the disadvantages are also more obvious, specifically because the size of the ship is too large, so the maneuverability is not good, which is also the reason why Shi Lang decided to use the big war ship after it was broken, anyway, the big war ship can't outrun the small and medium-sized ships of the Ming army.

In view of this deployment of the Qing army, Yu Long also made corresponding tactical adjustments, he divided more than a dozen flexible and mobile small and medium-sized warships into a single unit, divided into dozens of units, and surrounded a large war ship of the Qing army every few units, took turns to go into battle and cooperated with multiple angles and directions to launch a joint attack on the big ships, so as to achieve the effect of controlling the big with the small and dividing the thousand catties in four or two.

Of course, this kind of wolf tactics Shi Lang is no stranger, he also has a corresponding restraint method, Shi Lang configured dozens of small warships to escort each big warship, these small warships can not only be used as lifeboats to facilitate the escape when the big ship is about to sink, but also can be used to contain the enemy's ships and destroy their plans to besiege the big ship.

Because of Shi Lang's good scheduling, the Qing army's naval division did not have a major rout, although the Ming army had firmly gained the upper hand in the offensive, but for a while, there was nothing to do with the Qing army's big war ships, so they could only follow closely behind the Qing army's warships, waiting for an opportunity to find fighters.

I don't know if it was the luck of the Ming army or the bad luck of the Qing army, in the process of retreating, a large warship of the Qing army unfortunately ran aground, and dozens of Ming warships behind it took this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on this big warship. When countless shells and fire canisters kept falling on the deck, and the warship was about to sink, the Qing army saw that it was about to be unable to hold on, so they had to distie the small boat and abandon the big ship and flee. The Ming army had to be captured again.
