Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen observed the changes in the battlefield with a telescope, and then looked at Yu Zhigao Tieqing's face beside him, of course he knew that he was already at a disadvantage, he overestimated his improvement in artillery fire, and now it seems that the Ming artillery and the Ming warships have not yet reached the strength to dominate the sea area, and more importantly, maybe he should not make any personnel changes before the decisive battle, otherwise it may be enough for Zheng Jiajun himself to hit Liu Xiang's armed group hard.

"If we continue to fight on this trend, what will happen in the end?" Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen finally couldn't help but ask Yu Zhigao beside him.

Yu Zhigao sighed slightly, and said truthfully, "Daming will be defeated, not badly, but the loss should be about three times that of Liu Xiang's armed group." ”

It takes a lot of courage to say such things directly to the emperor, and the generals just can't speak.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was furious, "Why is this happening? Hurry up and send out all the warships, insert Liu Xiang's flank for me, and separate Liu Xiang and the Dutch from the middle! ”

Yu Zhigao was shocked, he was afraid of whatever he wanted, according to this way of playing, even if he fought to the end, it was probably the appearance of the Ming Dynasty losing 500 warships and Liu Xiang losing 200 warships, losing is losing, for Daming, it is not to the point of destroying the mière, the most important thing is to complete the reorganization of Zheng Zhilong's navy, next time in the case of the economy can still be supported, you can definitely recover today's losses, you are the emperor of the Ming Empire, you send people out, how to protect the emperor's safety?

"Your Majesty, this is too dangerous. Our strength is no longer enough to complete the cutting, and the minister cannot but consider the emperor's safety. Our morale has gone down, and from the current point of view, the technical and tactical level is not as good as Liu Xiang's armed group, although the tactics of the Daming Central Naval Division are rich, after all, the experience of naval combat is not as good as that of Liu Xiang and Zheng Zhilong's original people. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the imperial court, the emperor. If you want to find someone to bear the blame for this faux pas, Yu Zhigao will not be able to escape the blame, this battle is like this. You can still get out of it with your whole body, and you can't continue to send it in. Yu Zhigao knelt down and cried, he was ready to apologize for his sins.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen snorted, and looked at the battlefield that was already in full swing with his eyes blazing. It's like a boxer who has made it to the last round. It's still a heavyweight match, he's already on top, he can't care about anything, he doesn't weigh the pros and cons!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen showed the courage to kill at this time, he was not a complete layman, on the one hand, he participated in a naval battle, on the other hand, he already had an understanding of the combat effectiveness of both sides. The most important thing is that he came from this time in modern times, and in the Ming Dynasty. In his spare time, he also studied the examples of naval warfare in ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

From the era of Trafalgar to the era of the triumphant giant ships, the guns of battleships were the strongest on the two sides, because the two sides could use the most guns. I don't know if the landlord knows the tactics of the battle line? The two columns fired parallel to each other in order to give full play to the advantage of broadside firepower. From this, it is not difficult to see that the combat effectiveness of the side of the battleship is stronger than that of the bow and stern, because there are more guns.

When my fleet and your fleet meet, and your battle position is the horizontal side of the T, and I am the vertical one, then I can only use the bow firepower, and only the bow firepower of the leading battleship. But what about you? You're using broadside fire, and it's the broadside fire of every ship. In this way, it is not clear who has the advantage and who has the inferior! Therefore, many generals in previous naval battles had a "T" complex.

The famous Nelson occupied the "T" formation at Trafalgar and swept the Spanish navy; In the Battle of Jutland, Jericho turned 6 and 24 battleships on a large scale, and put on the largest "T" formation in history against the German Schell; The Japanese marshal Heihachiro Togo gambled in the Tsushima Strait, risked breaking into the range of the Russian army, and finally succeeded in occupying the "T" position, and finally exchanged three torpedo boats for 16 Russian battleships......

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen stood in front of the sand table and swung the current situation of the enemy and us, "You rush in from this direction, let the remaining 200 warships and 20 Central Navy Division warships insert through this gap, and occupy the position I put out, I see that you are ready to apologize, don't you dare to rush with people?" ”

Yu Zhigao heard the emperor's agitation, and said with a wry smile, "The old minister is not afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of, the old minister is worried that in this way, the entire fleet will be tied to death, and there will be no chance to get out, if you stop now, at least about half of the warships can be retained." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was furious, "Yu Zhigao, I really look down on you, fortunately I arrived in person this time, otherwise I wouldn't know that you are such a soft egg, do you think you have courage if you are not afraid of death?" Dare to gamble, this is also a kind of courage, I am not afraid, what are you afraid of? Do you know? If this naval battle is lost, not only will the Ming fleet not be able to raise its head, but my restructuring, my new law, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, and even the entire shape of the Ming Dynasty will be turned over! Do you understand? This is no longer purely a military matter, show courage and rush to me! ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's roar, in this war-torn sea, is an initiation for Yu Zhigao!

The holy order was difficult to disobey, Yu Zhigao was lifted up by the emperor, his mind was slightly confused, and he was almost put out by a group of deputy captains and staff officers, and Chen Yuanyuan could not forget the scene at that time.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the emperor's handsome and unreal face, without any expression at all, but his fists were clenched and gurgling, and he stood there with Xu Guowei, not daring to make a sound.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen's gamble was correct, when the last force was inserted obliquely from the opposite direction, the entire Ming fleet was very clear, the emperor was endless, although he could not hear the earth-shaking slogan, but the will of the commander was enough to convey to everyone through the craziest tactical moves, no matter whether they were comfortable or not, what was involved in this battle, everyone was very clear before the war.

"Crazy, crazy, this must be Chongzhen himself commanding, I heard that this emperor is a madman, I didn't expect to be so crazy!" Even though Liu Xiang was on the sea, he was also stupid by the situation at this time.

"What should I do?" Liu Xiang's lieutenant general is even more anxious, even a city government like Liu Xiang is already a little out of shape, not to mention the people below.

"What to do? They dare to fight, why don't we? Even if I finish up my old book this time, as long as I can win, the entire Daming Sea will be my Liu Xiang's dominance! In less than two years, we will be able to have much stronger strength than we have now, and we will be able to resist Lao Tzu! Liu Xiang is not afraid, but he knows that he has already been retired, and there is no way to retreat, he knows very well the speed of the modified Ming Imperial Forest Army fleet, and he will definitely not be able to run away, so he can only defend hard.

After the Dutch fleet bombarded the Ming fleet for a long time, the disadvantage in artillery power was gradually revealed, and the Ming fleet not only had the advantage of speed, but also the advantage of firepower and range.

Zheng Zhihu led the original main fleet of the Zheng family's army, although it had been surrounded by Liu Xiang Shuanglong's tactics of going to sea, but it was still able to hold out for a while, and all the warships of the Ming Dynasty were put into battle at this time, and the formation of both sides was a little sloppy.

Among all the warships of the Ming Dynasty, except for the supreme flagship of the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, which is half ironclad and half wooden, the other ships are all wooden, even the central naval fleet is no exception, just because after loading the steam engine, the speed is two to three times faster than the normal warship, and in the process of movement, the firepower does not reach an overwhelming advantage. It was only when the Ming fleet had a head-on conflict with Liu Xiang's armed group that it did not take any advantage, but because of the large-scale transfer of personnel, its experience and morale dropped a lot.
