According to the consistent experience of the coalition forces, it was a big victory and a small victory, and the fire of more than 50 cannons on a 500-ton battleship could drown a 200-ton battleship, and the other side had no luck. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But everything in front of him made all the coalition sailors and captains dumbfounded, these two ships were both defeated, and even this big battle ship was even more damaged, which shows that the Ming warship is invincible in close combat, and it must not be close to the naval division of the Broken Army.

The ships behind these two ships immediately turned to the southeast, saying that they would leave the infidel ships farther and farther away.

Lan San's Li Daozong followed the patrol ship and entered the coalition army at this time, and behind Li Daozong, Tang-class battleships such as Hou Junji, Gao Xianzhi, and Zhang Yichao, as well as Song-class battleships such as Wu Lan, rushed in.

On their side were some old Galen ships and some lucky ships sailing.

The Naval Division of the Broken Army was like a sharp sword that cut through the long snake formation of the coalition army in two sections, breaking through the formation of dozens of coalition fleets in the front.

Then a large group of Akito warships rushed into this big gap.

Saunders and Van Penny, who had already caught up, realized at this time that if the Ming people were allowed to advance, then the Ming people would soon arrive at Anping Bay, and then the siege would lose any meaning.

At that time, the Ming people are not in a hurry, they are far away from the rear, and the coalition is a loose alliance, in the face of difficulties and delays, there is a danger of collapse, and it is impossible to gather such a huge fleet to fight a decisive battle with the Ming people in the future.

Sanders and Van Penny raised the flag, let the coalition warships coming from the north and south and the west fight to the death with the Ming, they must entangle the Ming, and give the more than 700 Zheng Zhilong's warships that are rushing behind them a chance, this is their only hope, otherwise the captives will break into Anping and break the siege.

Zhang Huan's Wang Jian followed Li Hu's flagship Yue Fei into the enemy's array.

To his left was two English warships, one large and one small, stubber, their bodies completely different from those of the Dutch and Spaniards.

They were turning and approaching, approaching only a mile to the left of the Wang Jian, at this time they could not care about the power of the Broken Army's melee combat, and now they only had melee fighting to entangle the Ming warship.

Wang Qiang looked through the side gun window at the coalition warship that was approaching the hull of the ship on the other side, he estimated it, it was better to get closer, but it was also possible to start bombarding, after all, there were more than a dozen twenty-four-pound, thirty-six-pound, and forty-eight-pound long-barreled guns on the artillery deck, and their range was enough, of course, this had to be decided by Captain Zhang.

The wooden gangway made a noise, and the first mate poked his head out, "Wang Qiang, open fire, beat them with these red hairs." ”

Wang Qiang nodded vigorously, he had been waiting for a long time.

All the projectile packets have been loaded, and they have to be ordered by Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang shouted to the left and right, "Fire." ”

As soon as Wang Qiang's words were shouted, he heard a muffled sound of booming and booming, and it turned out that the 500-ton English battleship on the opposite side opened fire first.

The smoke completely enveloped it, and for a moment you couldn't see its shadow at all, but the long-barreled cannons on the deck of the Wang Jian had already adjusted their muzzles as usual, and they made a loud noise, and the pungent smoke filled the entire gun deck, and the presence of five fingers was not visible.

The massive recoil pushed the ship backwards hard, and everyone paused.

At this moment, I heard a muffled banging outside, and even faintly heard the howl of a sailor.

Then there was a bang, and a projectile hit a gun porthole, instantly shattering the porthole, but the projectile also lost power and fell into the sea.

There was a louder thud, and some pieces of wood flew from the sides of the gun deck, and one of the gunners shouted loudly.

He clutched his right shoulder and clutched his shoulder, screaming in pain.

Some of the other pieces of wood did not injure the other gunners, and a bowl-sized gap appeared on the side of the overhead where the shot appeared, from which the outside sunlight poured in.

Wang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, a blessing in misfortune.

Zhang Huan was observing his own results with a telescope at this time.

I saw that there were four large holes in the side of the English warship opposite, two of which were particularly striking, which were obviously the result of the forty-eight-pound gun, these two holes were irregularly huge, and the only pity was that they were located in the upper part of the deck.

It doesn't seem to be an artillery deck, Zhang Huan grinned regretfully.

Sure enough, after a brief pause, the opponent suddenly let out a loud roar.

A large stream of smoke and fire gushed out, and at this time, Wang Jian also shook, and a lot of gunpowder smoke drifted up from below.

A constant hissing sound was heard, which was the sound of a projectile flying.

There were several loud bangs in succession, and Wang Jian's huge body also trembled.

Wang Jian was hit five times in succession.

Two projectiles hit the artillery deck, one of which broke through the ship's plank, but instead of breaking the ship, it sent out dozens of fragments, wounding two gunners.

But the projectile of a massive 36-pounder cannon shattered the ship's plank, and it struck a 24-pounder cannon, destroying its muzzle, then hit a nearby 36-pounder cannon, and finally hit a Breaker gunner, killing him instantly, and the rain of debris it caused minor injuries to three Breaker gunners.

Wang Qiang immediately ordered the soldiers to help the wounded gunners down to wrap up their wounds and place them, carry the bodies of the dead gunners down, and then ordered the soldiers to resume the attack immediately, and the blood debt needed blood to pay for it.

A projectile on the upper deck struck the aft mainmast, which made a loud noise and crumbled, but the mainmast stood stubbornly, and although it was clear that it would not last long, it gave the three shipwrecked sailors on the mainmast time to flee, and they had been left there by adjusting the direction of the sails on the mainmast.

Zhang Huan didn't care about this at this time, he used a telescope to look at the situation of the enemy opposite.

Suddenly three large holes appeared in the lens of the telescope, two of which were extremely large, almost connected together, as if opening a huge side door for the enemy ship, and even the guns inside were partially exposed, shining with metallic luster in the sunlight.

Zhang Huan vigorously retracted his hand, he knew how damaging the projectiles of two thirty-six-pounder guns or forty-eight-pounder guns were.

The enemy's artillery deck must be in shambles, and I am afraid that these cannons can kill more than half of the gunners and greatly reduce the opponent's combat strength.

At this time, Zhang Huan heard the sound of whining on his deck, and he looked up to see that the mainmast was swaying and swaying.

Zhang Huan frowned, the loss of one of the four mainmasts would slow down the ship, after all, such a large hull was pulled by eight huge sails and four upper sails on the four mainmasts, and the other diagonal spinnakers were mainly used to adjust the angle and course.

This is the loss of a quarter of the power, but fortunately, today's impact is accompanied by Fu Chuan and Haicang, etc., the speed of the ship is not too fast, and it is still within the acceptable range of Zhang Huan.

Then Zhang Huan's guess became a reality, and only nearly half of the opponent's artillery roared, and the rest of the artillery was silent.

Only a few of these guns were twenty-four-pounder guns, the others were eighteen pounder and twelve-pounder guns, which did little damage to Wang Jian, and the only two thirty-six-pounder guns were silent.

Wang Qiang ordered the gunners to fire a third salvo, and standing behind the gun window, he clearly saw that the opponent's side had been added with four more holes, and the side of the 500-ton warship had been torn apart and was full of holes.

Wang Qiang's heart was done, he firmly believed in the power of Tiago's can opener, and the other party could not have a few cannons left.

Sure enough, just a moment, the ship began to turn eastward, and his guns no longer sounded, only the stern guns fired back weakly.

There was jubilation on the artillery deck, and many people waved their arms excitedly, paying the casualties themselves, and only seeing the blood and defeat of the enemy with their own eyes was the most relieving.

Zhang Huan waved his right arm fiercely on the upper deck, it was really refreshing, as a captain, is it more comfortable than seeing the enemy retreat in a hurry and lick his wounds.

The answer was yes, only to hear a series of explosions.

Zhang Huan hurriedly turned his head to take a look, only to see that the gun deck of the English battleship of more than 200 tons was constantly exploding, the hull was torn apart, and the fire and smoke inside poured out, and even the upper deck began to collapse, the three mainmasts were crooked, and the sailors above howled and fell from the mainmast rope ladder into the fire and smoke below.

There were also gunners who jumped ship with smoke and fire from the gun deck, which was now a crematorium, devouring the bodies of the dead and wounded.

This is not surprising at all, because its opponent is the behemoth Yue Fei, which has 66 huge guns of 800 tons, including more than 10 48-pound guns.

It's a heavyweight vs. bantamweight showdown, an exhibition match between abuse and abuse.

The largest of the guns of this English warship was an eighteen-pounder gun, and the rest were twelve-pounder guns and nine-pounder guns, and these projectiles were like tickling Yue Fei, and they could hardly damage Yue Fei.

However, the more than 30 huge cannons on the side of the Yue Fei were like heavy hammers smashing walnuts, and the six projectiles in the first round almost destroyed the artillery deck of the warship, and the remaining two bombardments became a small suffer, and it could only be hard-hit.

The second bombardment ignited the medicine pack on the gun deck, followed by a series of explosions, and slowly sank with smoke and fire.

It seems that the ships flying the flag of England today are really not very lucky.

Zhang Huan shook his head, alas, look at Yue Fei's record, Wang Jian's record is not worth mentioning, he just didn't think that his opponent was a large battleship of more than 500 tons, not Xiao Douding opposite Yue Fei. (To be continued.) )
