Li Xiang commanded thirty imperial warships and rushed directly into the center of the battlefield in the melee. The elite sailors of the Imperial Fleet didn't need Li Xiang's orders at all, and they skillfully began to fight.

Compared with the sailors of this era, these genetic people cultivated through the virtual world are far beyond the people of this era, both in terms of knowledge and other aspects.

Even as sailors, they are the strongest.

They methodically cleaned the chamber and then loaded the shells, all very quickly. This opened the eyes of Li Xiang and their subordinates, and also made Li Xiang secretly admire in his heart.

With such elite sailors and excellent warships, why worry that he can't resist Zheng Zhilong.

Even under Zheng Zhilong's command, there are no such elite sailors and excellent warships.

The sailors of the Imperial fleet on deck, already lined up, all picked up flintlock pistols in their hands. In such a close combat, there is a high chance that a white-knuckle battle will be engaged.

So, they have to be prepared in advance.

Of course, a skilled helmsman of an Imperial warship will try to avoid such a situation. After all, although they don't have to be afraid of hand-to-hand combat with advanced weapons, they should still try to avoid it if they can avoid it.

The Imperial ships were very well-built, with forty-six guns on each side of the huge hull. In the process of melee, the maximum destructive power and power can be exerted.

Therefore, they should try to give full play to the advantages of this side, rather than engaging in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

The sailors of the empire were well aware of this.

"Shoot!"

Woohoo!

The guns in the gun compartment below were constantly shelling the enemy ships on the side, and the musketeers on the deck also used their muskets to inflict damage on the enemy on the flanks when they were very close to the enemy.

In short, use all means that can destroy the enemy. Just go and destroy the enemy.

Peng!

A huge rock fell, smashed squarely into the middle of the ship, and bounced. However, it did not hurt anyone, but it also proved to the sailors of the Empire that although the ships, tactics and weapons used by their opponents were very ancient, they could also hurt people.

The stone left a mark on the deck, but it did not destroy it.

The decks of the Imperial ships are very sturdy.

The wood used to build this type of warship is taken from a special type of wood in the Americas, which is used to build warships to make them strong and have stronger defenses.

Not to mention. On both sides of the warship, there are also inlaid iron plates and iron plates, which makes the defense of the imperial warship even more improved.

Squeak!

Squeak!

The sound of the trebuchet bouncing was constantly harsh from all around.

Dozens of huge rocks in the sky were thrown out of the sky, which looked very terrifying.

However, most of these rocks do not hit the target, but fall into the sea.

While there are a few boulders that will hit the side of the ship of an Imperial ship in flight, it is impossible to break the iron plate embedded in the outer side and cause more progressive damage to the hull.

The Imperial fleet rushed into the center of the melee. Rampage like a tiger entering a flock.

With its huge hull, they even adopted a very barbaric tactic, that is, they used ramming angles to ram relatively weak building ships and fighting boats.

The defense of the warships in the east is still much weaker than that of the imperial warships.

So. Every time it was hit by an Imperial warship, the entire ship would fall apart or even roll over.

In addition to the way of the Imperial warships, the guns on both sides of the hull were constantly bombarded, and the shells landed accurately on the heads of the enemy and their ships. This made the losses of Wang Renzeng's side in the melee increase a lot at once.

In addition, it also greatly relieved the huge pressure on the people of Amami Island.

In just a quarter of an hour, thirty imperial warships. It destroyed about fifty large enemy ships. It can be said that Wang Renzeng suffered heavy losses and made the balance of war begin to tilt.

Although the naval battle is still ongoing, even fools can see that now the goddess of victory no longer favors Wang Renzeng's side, but flatters the people of Amami Island.

The loss of his own large warships was very unfavorable to Wang Renzeng, because in the sea battles on the eastern side, he mainly relied on large warships.

Those little clippers are of no use at all.

Moreover, after the Imperial fleet rushed in, it is now unknown how many small clippers have been knocked over. In the face of such a behemoth, even large bucket boats and building boats are useless to be knocked over, let alone small clippers.

It was with this barbaric method of warfare that the Imperial Fleet turned the tide of this naval battle in a short period of time.

Originally, the Imperial Fleet would not normally use this method of warfare, after all, the Imperial Fleet had many warships and artillery, and it was completely possible to fire at the periphery to achieve the purpose of destroying the enemy.

But this time, because they wanted to rescue the people of Amami Island, who were surrounded, they had to use this brutal tactic. And if they don't do this and open fire on the periphery, then there is a high chance that they will accidentally injure their own people.

After all, the surrounded Amami Islanders and the warships under Wang Renzeng's command were already entangled together, and the two sides fought very fiercely. The distance is also very close, so firing the cannon can really cause accidental damage.

In such a situation, the Imperial fleet had no choice but to adopt such a brutal method of warfare.

Fortunately, the warships of the Imperial Fleet are very strong, and they are really not a little stronger than the warships under Wang Renzeng's command. So the people on the Empire's side are not worried about what problems will arise at all.

The wood used in the hull is strong, the internal structure of the hull is very reasonable, and the collision was expected to occur, so the construction of this aspect of the defense measures was prepared as early as possible.

In particular, the speed of the ship played a significant role in the collision.

Even after ramming the enemy's ships, the Imperial ships were able to sail away.

It's not like the two ships that usually collide, and there is no way to continue sailing without distinguishing between friend and foe.

The propeller and the engine hidden underneath are definitely against the sky in this era.

With these two magic weapons, the Imperial Fleet can be said to be almost invincible at sea.

Li Xiang's warship approached the flagship that was fighting Zhang Bangchang, and at this time, on Zhang Bangchang's Spanish galleon, the two sides were fighting fiercely.

The hand-to-hand combat in this era is not like what the film and television dramas of another time and space show. Everyone is a martial arts master, and they will be so double-hit.

In fact, everyone is an ordinary person, and they are not martial arts masters at all.

It was like a palm shot, and the enemies in Fang Yuanzhang Xu were all shocked and flew back with a wail from within.

It's all impossible.

In reality, in fact, everyone fights for strength, speed and eyesight.

Relying on the anti-riot shield, Zhang Bangchang and the others formed a small turtle formation at the suggestion of Liu Da Scar. Such a formation caused great trouble for the attacking enemies, and the enemy's bows and axes could not destroy this shield.

Zhang Bangchang's men, who were wielding a new type of flintlock musket, kept their composure and cleaned the barrel to reload ammunition as they usually trained.

Since paper gunpowder is used, it is easy to reload gunpowder.

So. In a very short time, they can load the gunpowder and put in the lead bullet to fight.

At the same time, there are also some people, who hide behind riot shields with cold weapons, and occasionally draw cold guns to give the enemy a blow.

What hit Zhang's flagship was a Ming-style fighting boat, which had a battlement and a small attic, and could carry 123 soldiers and 40 oarsmen.

At critical times, those oarsmen can also be used to fight, so that means Zhang Bangchang has to face. It was one hundred and sixty-three enemies.

On the other hand, Zhang Bangchang's flagship is a Spanish galleon of three hundreds.

The quota for such a ship is two hundred and thirty-six people.

In accordance with such regulations, Zhang Bangchang also added fifty people to the ship.

After all, they don't have to go on ocean voyages, so it doesn't matter if you add some people.

That's it. Zhang Bangchang's men numbered 286 men, almost twice as many as the enemy.

So, these enemies who are attacking the ship. But it's a big mold.

When they rushed up, they realized that there were more enemies than they were.

But now they are already difficult to ride a tiger, and even if they want to, there is nowhere to run. So I can only bite the bullet and fight Zhang Bangchang.

Who let Zhang Bangchang's flagship, which they took the initiative to collide with, and caused their own warships to be embedded in the hull of this big Spanish ship, and there was no way to get out.

Therefore, if they want to survive now, then they must solve Zhang Bangchang and their talents.

Liu Dascar held the ghost head knife to his mouth, picked up a flintlock pistol from the side, aimed it in front and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

In the midst of the queue of enemies that were slowly pressing together, one of the unlucky ones fell.

Because of Liu Da's scar, the musketeers behind began to shoot one after another.

Immediately, more than half of the enemies who boarded the ship fell in an instant.

The enemies who were still standing looked at it, and this was not going to work.

Isn't this the rhythm of total destruction?

So, in order to be able to survive without standing and becoming a master, they rushed up with a shout.

Unfortunately, before they could take a few steps, they were once again shot by muskets and fell to the ground.

With only two rounds of fire, there were very few enemies left on board.

Liu Dascar let out a loud shout, and then led the team to rush out of the city, and began to send those fallen enemies on the road.

At this time, Li Xiang and the others also rushed closer to the battle circle and attracted Zhang Bangchang's attention.

At the beginning, Zhang Bangchang was also taken aback.

The Imperial battleship made his heart tremble.

My Mom!

Where did this warship come from, how can there be so many artillery? (To be continued......)
