The sun still rose on this day, and the sky was clear, but the morning glow was like blood, which made people quite unhappy after seeing it, and it was faintly not a good sign. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two huge fleets of ships in the east and west had begun to be resurrected, and the sailors kept shouting, walking and busily on the rope ladders, and countless sails slowly rising, and the fleet began to flow slowly.

Zhang Drum sounded to control the forward warship to move towards the east, he knew that today was the day of the decisive battle, and the Broken Army Naval Division could not afford to delay, after all, the Broken Army was fighting on two fronts.

Of course, there have been some changes in the forward fleet today, and some of the earlier patrol ships and the Fu ships and other older warships have been mixed together, so that the fleet, which was still extremely neat and vigorous yesterday, is now a little scattered and has lost a lot of momentum.

At the beginning of today, dozens of pioneer cruisers and Tang-class warships rushed eastward, while more than 200 warships followed behind, and even merchant ships also moved forward in a mixed manner.

Lan San's Li Daozong is still the vanguard of the whole army, and in front of his battleship are more than ten patrol ships.

Lan San received the understanding of the small boat sent by Lord Zhang before dawn today, today is the decisive day, and everything is according to the original plan.

It was also because of this plan that a large number of Chinese-style ships and some captured Japanese ships and Xiyi ships appeared on the left side of the Li Daozong and other ships in the front.

Of course, due to the appearance of these miscellaneous armies, the mighty spirit of the entire fleet has almost been lost, and the speed of the ship has also dropped significantly, and now the speed of the fleet is the usual Thai half, after all, the speed of the lucky ship is still a lot slower.

Lan San rose very early, patrolling the mainmast, the artillery deck, and the armor one by one, he knew that these might have to be used today, and even the armor, which rarely had a chance to take over, might see blood.

The warships in front of them are already faintly visible, and they are also covering the sea in the east, but they are also violent.

Lan San knew that he was a member of the vanguard of the whole army, and this job was very dangerous, after all, looking at how many Xiyi warships were in front, as a striker, he often experienced a salvo of multiple enemy ships.

This is the most dangerous place, most likely to be destroyed by the enemy's heavy artillery, and finally withdraw from the battle.

The projectiles of heavy artillery do not have eyes, and he, the captain, like other sailors, may not be able to fight in this place far from home, as a member of the sailors, the war does not mean that the sea is buried in the lonely sea, and even a corpse cannot return to his hometown.

However, Lan San can see it, in Zhang Huan's words, they are worth it, from a small fisherman who has nothing to the captain of a behemoth ship today, conquering the Japanese country in the east, conquering the west in the south, the big husband is not in the way in his life, rather than dying in obscurity in a small fishing village in a deserted small fishing village, he Lan San would rather die in a vigorous battle and enter the Shidao Martyrs' Shrine, so that future generations will always remember him as a heroic ancestor.

Watching the enemy's warship slowly approach, and once again reaching a place of more than two miles, the enemy's warship began to turn again, and the inherent tactics of the side against the enemy once again appeared.

Lan San sneered and watched the Xiyi battleship turn and then the gun window opened, well, it's the same old thing again, but it's a pity that this time the Broken Army didn't follow this routine.

Today, the vanguard of the coalition forces is in command of Sanders, and they take turns to serve as the vanguard, and they can't let one person or one force always occupy this dangerous position, otherwise no one will do it.

They are gathered together by interests, not military orders, and from this point of view, their European blood is not as good as Zheng Zhilong's pirates.

Since the interests are entangled, we can only pay attention to balance and relative fairness.

For example, Saunders was fairly relegated to the position of striker today.

When he was more than two miles away from the ships of the Naval Division, Sanders began to turn the battleships to change formations, preparing for today's artillery battle, or yesterday's old method is long-distance artillery battles, avoiding the strengths of the Ming warships.

Long-range artillery battles intercept the Ming warships, and at the same time reduce their own losses, as long as the Ming warships do not reach Anping.

This strategy is to delay the decisive battle, so that the Ming people are anxious to rescue, because of impatience and self-confusion The formation has some stupid tricks, and then their fleet and Zheng Zhilong's fleet can defeat the Ming people's team together, otherwise with the speed of the Ming people's warships, Zheng Zhilong's warships are really of little use.

Today, when it was still far away, Sanders observed the situation of the Ming fleet, and what made him wonder was that many Ming people's old-fashioned fortune ships were mixed in with it, what was the reason.

Fuchuan Haicang is a target in the artillery battle, if the other party is also a fireship, these ships are still larger, not as agile and fast as small boats.

Sanders thought about it for a long time and didn't figure it out, since he didn't understand it, he didn't want to, so he still changed the formation to the side side to fight the enemy, and then it would be clear when Mingren had a move.

When most of the allied warships turned to the side to face the enemy, and the guns on the side began to prepare, the Ming warships strangely continued to move forward.

Sanders thought that this was the Ming army wanting to get close to a decisive battle with heavy artillery within a mile, and he did not order the fleet to turn to the southeast, so it was completely possible to bombard a round and bring the Ming people battle losses before leaving, and it was not too late to leave, and there was no hurry now.

Boom, boom, more than 100 cannons of the coalition army began to roar, in fact, according to the sideboard fire of more than 30 battleships, there should be more than 300 cannons, but the upper firing range is more than 100 less than 200, and the other 9-pound and 12-pounder guns are still counted, it is really useless.

Lan San didn't pay attention to the jets of water splashing everywhere and the projectiles that made a whistling sound and disappeared, he looked at the main mast of the Li Tingzhi behind him, there was no other flag, that is, to continue to move forward according to the plan.

The two patrol ships at the front of the sea flew through the columns of water, and miraculously did not hit the guns, but they continued to move eastward with traces of sea splashes everywhere.

The ships at the front of the Breakers were a mile away from the enemy's ships, and all the ships on the sea were moving like a thick T-shape.

The sideways of one side advancing from north to south against the enemy, and the other side advancing from west to east in spite of the artillery bombardment of the other side, the lines of the two sides were only a mile away, and they would soon have a fierce collision.

Boom, boom, the second salvo of the Blue Army's battleships began, of course, only the three battleships facing the Broken Army warships, and the other battleships did not have this angle.

The two mainmasts of the foremost cruiser were hit, the mainmast staggered and fell, one wrapped in a rope ladder, the other brought the rope ladder down, almost across the middle of the ship, and the cruiser began to tilt and spin on the sea, seeing that it could only withdraw from the battle.

Another cruiser was hit twice in the bow, and one of the projectiles even broke through the plank.

Although the image in front is a little miserable, it does not affect the warship to continue to move forward.

Two stunning warships came up, these were captured Dutch warships built by the Japanese people, they were exactly the same as the Dutch warships opposite, they were very similar in any way, like twin brothers, but now they were fighting on both sides.

When the shipwrecks approached only half a mile from the opposing line, a large puff of smoke and fire came out from the sides of the two Spaniard warships, and at the same time, the bow guns in front of the first few ships of the Sprawling Army also began to roar, of course, only a few bow guns.

The two warships in front of them that had captured the Japanese were hit hard, and the bow of the ship in front was almost shattered, and a large pile of wood chips flew out, even killing and wounding many sailors near the mainmast.

But these two ships, which embody strong survivability, worthy of the masterpieces of the coachmen of the sea, continue to bulldozer the Allied warships half a mile to the east.

The Broken Army's warship brigade pierced the iron shield of the coalition artillery front like a sharp spear, and the two sides were about to meet.

When the army reached the near place, he hadn't turned the bow of the ship to use the side to deal with it, Sanders had already sensed that this was wrong, the Ming people didn't want an artillery duel like yesterday, they wanted to fight hard, that is to say, they had a hunch last night, and the situation that the Ming people had no choice but to charge into battle after a few days now appeared.

He immediately informed the fleet to prepare for the attack of the Ming people, after all, the Ming people were about to cut off the formation of the coalition forces in two, and then he sent a small boat to inform Van Penny and Zheng Zhilong in the rear formation, don't be leisurely in the back, the time for the decisive battle is coming.

At this time, the ships of the Broken Army had arrived at a distance of 100 paces from the coalition ships, and the two 500-ton Dutch warships that were sailing over were facing two brothers of the same clan who were struggling to move forward.

Boom, boom, at a distance of 100 paces, dozens of heavy guns on the side roared, and the front of the two captured Japanese warships was almost shattered by ten projectiles, and the front face was almost completely shattered, revealing the compartment below, but the cabin below was empty.

A few more projectiles destroyed the sails and mainmasts of the two captured ships, which shattered and fell apart.

The two warships could no longer hold up and began to paralyze around the sea.

But their mission had been accomplished, and several of the wrecked warships that had flashed out from behind them had already turned their sides against the enemy.

Seeing this, a Dutch warship immediately withdrew to the southeast without saying a word.

But another Dutch warship, seeing that it was a patrol ship of only about 200 tons of the Broken Army, did not immediately evacuate when it saw that it was going in the opposite direction.

As a result, an artillery battle immediately broke out between the two ships, and the confrontation at a distance of more than 100 paces was needless to say.

The broadsides of both ships were almost destroyed, one big hole after another, and the projectiles swept through them with a rain of wood chips.

It was not uncommon for the two ships to be in such a situation, but the most bizarre thing was that the Dutch battleship, which was about 500 tons, was even more seriously wounded, and six or seven huge irregular holes appeared in his side, and the projectiles destroyed almost all the guns and personnel inside.

One projectile ignited the pile of ******, and the ship burst into flames with a disemboweling roar. (To be continued.) )
