Naval warfare, fighting with land, are clearly two very different types.

It depends on tactics to play tricks, set up ambushes, win more with less, and defeat strong with weak. And on the sea, the battle seems to depend on only two questions: how well your ship performs and how durable, and how many guns you have with a strong enough barrel.

Fortunately, it was only the most advanced in the seventeenth century. Moreover, from the Gothenburg imitated in later generations, Pang Yu and others can accurately calculate the number of such EI sailing ships.

One of the most important numbers is the speed, the average speed of the Gothenburg is five or six knots (9 to 11 km/h), and the top speed can reach eight knots, but that is the effect of running two 1,100 hp Volvo engines, which I believe the genuine EI ships of this era must not have this ability.

In contrast, the standard economic speed of the Qionghai is fifteen knots, and now the matter is urgent, Huang Xiaodong no longer cares about saving fuel, and the engine power is fully turned on and directly runs out of a high speed of twenty knots, and before it is the second half of the night, it has returned to the red card port, and the main force of the armed forces has been rendezvous, and at this time, the three Dutch ships are still floating at sea, and when they catch up here, it will be at least tomorrow morning.

Another important number is the number of guns, which cannot be referred to by the Gothenburg, on which only a salute was installed. Fortunately, there are two modern products in this traversal group, which are absolutely oversold and digital cameras.

"Did you take pictures?"

After getting on the boat, Pang Yu's first sentence was to ask Wang Ruobin for photos. Wang Ruobin didn't have a camera, he was originally on the ship as a detainee, and all his belongings except for his underwear were a pair of steel bracelets, but later when he distributed the "inheritance" of the missing passengers, he was given an extra camera, which was a reward for his hard work some time ago.

As a model enthusiast, Wang Ruobin certainly took a lot of photos down, just because his fool photography grade is not high. You can't shoot too far away. The ship shook violently, and the photographs appeared rather blurry, with only a faint outline faintly discernible for the most part.

Indeed, they are all Western ships. The bow is low and the stern is tall. The huge bow sails and sails, together with the rows of gun windows on either side of the ship, made it clear that these ships were not of the best kind.

"How many cannons are there on each ship, can you count them from the photos?"

Tang Jian is most concerned about this. If you just count the windows in the digital photo screen, it will be a very difficult job. Fortunately, the traverser has the almighty goldfinger killer computer in his hand. The image is processed with other software, and the original blurry photo is immediately much clearer, and then enlarged, and you can grasp it all in one click. "Hey, hey. Now I can see how high-tech the Americans feel after they have spy satellites and Global Hawks. ”

Ling Ningtian, who had completed the above work independently, bragged shamelessly, but after being exposed by Pang Yu that these operations were all learned from his wife Zhuo Ming, Ling Ning immediately shut up.

The group held this emergency meeting in the small dining room on the ship, and Xiao Lang, who was in charge of the machine, even moved the projector and projected the computer image directly onto the big screen, so that everyone could participate in the discussion very calmly.

"Count clearly. Be sure to figure out the armament of the Dutch, the more carefully the better! ”

Tang Jian immediately rushed to urge everyone to count the guns, and soon had a conflict with a certain otaku who considered himself an expert in this regard:

"I have said many times that the EASINDI is a large armed merchant ship, not a professional warship! The most powerful Eindi in history was also only 56 guns, and it was purchased by the British Navy at the end of the 1st century and armed itself. So, a lot of the holes you count could only be portholes, not gun windows! ”

Wang Ruobin's otaku soul is burning. Let him dare to quarrel with the captain of the armed police who escorted him before. But when he realized it himself, he immediately withered.

“…… No more fighting. What you say is what you say, and the enemy should be lenient. ”

After that, everyone agreed on the same opinion: it is estimated that the cannons on the E side are on the left and right of the door, and each gun of the Flue ship counts it, and there are a total of cannons in total. However, considering that it is impossible for these ship guns to fire in one direction at the same time, remove half of them, and count them as a door gun.

This seems to be a rather desperate number, but considering that there is at least a 200-year difference in the technical existence of ships and weapons on both sides, this quantitative difference is nothing for the crossing people who have just overthrown the 4,000 Ming army with more than 100 people.

Ling Ning is indeed familiar with the Age of Discovery, which is also reflected in the estimation of artillery performance:

"I remember that in this era, except for the bow cannon, the firing range of most naval artillery was usually yards, that is, about meters, and there were even examples of firing close to meters in actual combat."

"And how far can our mortars hit when they are moved to the ship?"

Everyone looked back and saw that the two artillery crews of the artillery commander Ma Qianshan and Lin Shenhe had just been pulled onto the boat, and they were definitely the absolute protagonists in this naval battle.

"It's not the same, it's still about a kilometer. The view of firing a gun on a ship is more affected, and the recoil and gun mount fixing are a bit troublesome, but I think if I use sandbags to build a dedicated gun emplacement, these problems should be solved. ”

The old horse is always so indifferent, and he can easily solve any difficulties in his hands, which is a very valuable quality, which can make everyone feel at ease at critical moments.

So the basic tactics of tomorrow's naval battle were thus determined, trying to avoid the opponent's bow guns, go around to their side chords, and bombard the target with mortars six or seven hundred meters away.

The only thing to worry about is that there is not much fuel left on the Qionghai, after these tosses, there is still about a third left, and it is probably no problem to fight this battle, but if there is no fuel supply, it will only be able to lie down in the future.

"Burn your eyebrows, and look at the present."

Faced with Huang Xiaodong's worries, Tang Jian and others could only respond like this.

Before dawn, everyone took the time to squint for a while in the cabin of the ship, where every passenger on the Qionghai still had their berths. The ship meant something extraordinary to them, arguably the only link between them and modern life, so that on weekdays, passengers could sleep back on board whenever they wanted, although as conditions gradually improved, all water on board the Qionghai was shut down, and few people do so anymore.

Today, however, the ship's water system was turned on again and the water system was back in operation. As in modern times, no one cares about fuel or longevity, and if this war is not won, the ship will not be saved, and there is no point in thinking about it.

When brushing his teeth in the bathroom, Pang Yu bumped into the relief seat, this guy followed Beiwei and others yesterday to pursue and defeat the fleeing Ming army, and I don't know when he actually returned to the ship. It didn't matter, the problem was that he was openly living in the same cabin as Miss Julie, and even came out to wash in pairs!

While the Hong Kong girl was not paying attention, Pang Yu quietly stabbed Lao Xie with a punch:

"You're very good at seizing opportunities, and you've got loot before the fight even starts."

Although the large glass mirror in front of the washstand has been removed, Pang Yu still seems to be able to see that his face is full of jealousy, and Xie Xi is smiling proudly, laughing like a cow dung.

"What's the matter, I have already advised you, now is the best opportunity, there is no such store in this village!"

The other brothers also came to make a fuss, but in the end, everyone still wished them very well, after all, this is the first successful couple on the ship, if it is not for this extraordinary time, it must be celebrated.

However, the joyous atmosphere was soon broken, and the captain and observer Huang Xiaodong announced to all the crew that the three uninvited guests had appeared on the radar screen, and the Dutch had chased after them.

According to the prior arrangement, the personnel from all over the department rushed to their respective posts. Pang Yu and others concentrated in the cockpit, and now there is no target in sight on the sea, and can only be observed through the guò radar.

The Qionghai stayed in the port of Hongpai, and the Dutch must have reconnoitred the hydrological situation here, and without any hesitation, the three Western ships sailed straight in the direction of the port of Hongpai.

In the cockpit, more than one person sighed, although intellectually knew that it was impossible, but there were still many people who had a faint glimmer of hope that these Dutch people were just passing by, whether it was soy sauce or hide and seek, anyway, just don't have anything to do with them. It was precisely because of this thought that they did not take the initiative to sail out of the harbor to meet the battle, but stayed at home.

Fortunately, Pang Yu, Ling Ning and a few others didn't have any luck from the beginning, so they weren't disappointed at all:

"Alright, disillusioned with peace, let's go out and them. Go, brethren! ”
