Chapter 824: Kamikaze

readx;

"All of them, shoot! The target ...... "The Yellow Dragon Flag was hung out, and Zhengde was also in good spirits, and it was still ten miles away, so he shouted loudly and ordered the cannon to be fired." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With such a range advantage, the odds of winning have greatly increased, and Wang Hai and the others are relieved.

However, in the next moment, when the shell fell into the water, they were stunned to find that the range of the cannon had not changed at all, at least they could not see it. Moreover, this round of shelling did not reach the main owner, but caused a great confusion among the small ships guarding them, and perhaps several of them were hit.

"Stupid Easterners, at such a distance there is no threat from their shelling, ignore them, keep your distance, and do not open fire until you are in range." Seeing this, Sander also sneered.

The small boats of those guards are not very closely arranged, if you want to clear them first, it will take a long time to shell, even if the Ming army is fully prepared, but the consumption of ammunition is not so easy to replenish, before they finish clearing the frigates, they will fall into the dilemma of running out of ammunition, and then they will be kneaded casually by themselves.

It seems that although the technology of the Orientals is advancing by leaps and bounds, there has been no progress in their tactical awareness, and they are not able to use these rare advanced warships at all.

Since it can't be used, then give it to the noble Spaniards, as long as you dedicate this valuable technology back to the country, and you should be able to promote the marquis to the merit you have made, and when the time comes, you will no longer need to stay in this damp place.

Sander fantasized proudly, and through the smoke of gunpowder, he seemed to see a golden avenue, and behind the road, was the smiling face of the bishop who presided over the canonization ceremony.

"After the Ming army approaches, first concentrate firepower and knock out the ship with the yellow flag, which is the ship of the Ming emperor, once the flagship is successfully destroyed, the morale of the Ming army will definitely collapse." Ronaldo added.

"That's it." At this point, Sander is like a stream.

"Shoot!" The shelling of the Ming fleet continued, although there was no gain, and the frequency of shooting was not high, but Zhengde was very interested, and Wang Hai and the others were very speechless.

"It's almost hot......" Xie Hong, who had been silent, suddenly burst out with a sentence, this sentence is clueless, but for some reason, Wang Hai's heart is wide, and Hou Ye always has a way.

"Summons Governor Yang, let the kamikaze attack!"

"God...... Kamikaze? "The generals looked at each other, what was that?

"The kamikaze special attack team is the ace of the royal sailors, the cost is low, the power is overwhelming, and it is also unexpected, it is a necessary item for killing people and setting fires, look, this is the ......" Xie Hong casually said a few nonsense, and then raised his hand and pointed to the Dafu ship where Yang Min was.

"It turned out to be this thing...... the generals looked at it, and when they saw it, they were all surprised, they were very familiar with this thing, and when they were in the Battle of Lushun, Liang Cheng also regarded this thing as a trump card.

"The wisdom of the people is infinite, and this thing is really good." Xie Hong was full of praise. The flyship was the first one he made, but this manpower torpedo was developed by the Jiangnan people after they were inspired.

"Why did Master Hou name it Kamikaze?" Jiangnan people have also named this thing, but it must not be compatible with the trend or something, and it is more reliable to call it Shenlei.

"Look closely, look at the people up there...... See? Got it? Xie Hong patiently explained.

"There was a strip of white cloth wrapped around his head, on which was written that he would win, and there was a circle in the middle...... Ah, is it a Japanese people? ”

"You guessed it." Xie Hong snapped his fingers, "I can't afford this kind of suicide with Ming soldiers, so I have to use foreigners." The Japanese people are the best to use, they are crazy enough, they are not afraid of death, and they are very economical, as long as they ask Shengren to send a certificate of commendation, and then give some bereavement, well, you know. ”

"Understand ......" is no wonder it is cheap, that is, printing some waste paper for others, and then changing a life, there is a more cost-effective deal than this?

"Hooray!"

"Rush!"

As he spoke, another flag was raised on the mothership where Yang Min was, it was a blood-red flag, fluttering in the wind, the red flag was waving, and a burst of enthusiastic cheers suddenly broke out on the manpower torpedo boat of the kamikaze special forces, and the torpedo, which was already very fast, accelerated again.

"This is the blood flag of the special attack team, which represents the meaning of the bloody battle to the end, in addition, there is also the benefit of doubling the bereavement pension and the king's door-to-door condolences." Xie Hong took the initiative to explain.

"Cover with artillery fire, cooperate with the kamikaze, press up!" Although it was the first time to command a naval battle, Zhengde's ability to grasp the fighter was still very strong.

He was not messing around before, using artillery fire to disrupt the formation of the escort ships to facilitate the surprise attack of the kamikaze, and in addition, he had to paralyze the enemy, and use the cover of gunpowder smoke to delay the enemy's detection of the torpedo boats.

With Zhengde's order, the gunboats of the Ming army changed their previous inconsistencies and suddenly rushed forward, and the combined fleet immediately felt the pressure, and they were not to be outdone and fought back.

For a time, the sound of artillery was loud, and the thick smoke of gunpowder even obscured the sight of both sides.

In terms of the maximum firing range, whether the curved guns can be accurate or not basically depends on luck, although the artillery battle is fierce, but neither side has achieved anything. As time passed, Sander and the others also discovered that something was wrong, and then they saw the small boats that came out of the smoke of gunpowder.

Hundreds of small boats have rushed out of the smoke and densely spread all over the sea, they are like a group of dolphins who like to chase boats, shortening the distance between the two sides at a very fast speed, leaving a bright waterline behind them.

"God, what's that?" Although I don't know the truth, at this juncture, seeing such a ship rushing towards me violently, anyone knows what a good way to go.

"Stop them, don't let them get near the fleet!" Reinhardt climbed the mast, snatched the flag, and shook it vigorously, hoping that the frigate would react in time.

However, he was disappointed, the agility and speed of the manpower torpedoes were not comparable to that of normal ships, they were like swimming fish, lightly bypassing the block of the frigate, and rushed straight towards the combined fleet.

The few who were stopped were not discouraged, shouting in an incomprehensible language, and crashed headlong into the boat blocking their way, followed by a violent explosion, and the ships that had been hit broke in two and became a pile of wreckage.

"Fire, fire, don't let them get close!" Frederick was frightened, gunboats were much stronger than small boats, but such power was also unbearable. The interception of those frigates was not powerful in the first place, but at this time, they were deterred by the power of manpower torpedoes, and suddenly became sluggish, and they definitely couldn't count on it, so they had to rely on themselves.

"Swap shots, tell the gunners to be sure to switch to shotshots!" Reinhardt's military literacy and psychological quality are higher than those of the other two, and he discovered the problem in time, this small boat is so fast, it is impossible for the cannon to hit, and only scattered bullets can solve the problem.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

"Oh no, the Rhine has been shot! Caton leaking ...... The main forces of the enemy are approaching! "Because of the need to change the shells, the firepower of the combined fleet weakened a lot, and as a result, the Ming army took the opportunity to rush up, opened fire, and bad news came out one after another. Cannons with solid shells don't have a lethal effect, but they are just as uncomfortable to be hit.

"What a despicable tactic...... "Sander's lips were bleeding, but he didn't notice it.

Disrupt the escort array with artillery bombardment, and then release the suicide boat to break through, and after the suicide boat disrupts the main array, and then take the opportunity to strengthen the artillery bombardment, the tactics of the Ming army are like flowing water, and the means are even more incredible, completely beyond his imagination, he can't think of a way to deal with it at all.

Reinhardt's method is the only most suitable, after all, if you take a few shots, you may not be sunk and hit by the torpedo, but it will be a disaster.

Another way is to divide the troops, let some ships shoot at the Ming army, and the other part clean up the torpedo ships. But this approach will not work, after all, this is a combined fleet, it is difficult to achieve such a fine command, besides, seeing the torpedo ships rushing forward, who can calmly shoot at the enemy in the distance?

"Boom!" The shotgun fired, and from time to time there was a flash of fire on the sea, which was the scene of a torpedo being hit. But no one in the Combined Fleet cheered, because the results of the shotguns were far from as good as they could have been.

The torpedo ship was too nimble, and when they found that the sides were covered by fire, they turned to the bow or stern, where there were no guns, and the days of the bow guns were long gone, and even if there were one or two, it was impossible to form fire coverage.

So, they tragedy.

Either in front or behind, the battleships were erected and slowly sank; Some of the warships were beaten to a pulp and were silent. Under the three-dimensional attack of the Ming army, the combined fleet was powerless, and the naval battle quickly became a one-sided situation.

Soon, the sailors and maritime merchants of the Governor's Mansion also took action, and now it was a good opportunity to grab ships and arrest people and charts. Nanyang has been developed for more than half of the time, and with a guide, you can take the lead in Tianzhu.

In addition, there is also the latest reward issued by the emperor, and the latest person who finds a pepper seedling and sends it to the governor's palace can get 500 contributions! That's a feat similar to capturing King Ning alive.

Chili pepper? It's clearly a golden pepper! No one knows what a chili pepper is, as long as they know the characteristics of this thing and the contribution it gets.

"Win! Long live the Emperor! Hou Ye is mighty! ”

There was a cheer on the flagship, and no one had seen the strength of the Westfan, but no one expected that the victory would come so easily. If the dead man who drove the torpedo was his own family, everyone would not be so excited, and they might be a little sad. But the person who dies now has nothing to do with his own family, who cares? Cheering for victory is real.

"So you win? It's so boring, I can't help but fight. Zhengde pouted, according to intelligence, the fleet in front of him is already the main force of European countries in the Indian Peninsula and the Persian Gulf, and after the battle, the rest can be settled without even the appearance of the royal sailors, that is, there is no battle.

The cruel reality made Zhu Houzhao very depressed.

"Finally won......" Xie Hong sighed with relief Since the crossing, he has been aiming to catch up with Western civilization, and although he has not yet won the final victory, the next thing should no longer need him to be involved. China has countless heroes, and for the Ming Dynasty who has broken out of the cocoon and been reborn, he only needs to be a bystander and witness her glory.
