Chapter 981: Battle of Amami Island (7)
When he was passing by the other party just now, Zhang Bangchang listened to Liu Dascar's suggestion. A method of naval warfare that would be most popular among Europeans in the next few decades was used.
Because he still doesn't know the Dao, this world has begun to change because of the appearance of a 'little butterfly'. Therefore, this method of naval warfare, which would be carried forward by the Europeans a few decades later, appeared in the east of this era decades in advance.
And Liu Da Scar, who made the suggestion of this tactic, was also shocked by the previous effect.
My mother!
This kind of naval warfare is really tough.
It's no wonder that when I chatted with the soldiers of the Song Water Division, they all admired this method of warfare.
Oh my goodness, it's amazing.
In fact, the reason why Liu Da Scar made this suggestion was that he had inquired about this matter from the soldiers of the fleet under Zhao Hongyu. And the soldiers in the fleet of the Song Empire, that insight must be stronger than that of Liu Dascar.
And there is no doubt that the fleet of the Song Empire is strong, Liu Dascar thinks that since the fleet of the Song Empire is so powerful, it is very respectful of this method of warfare, so why can't he let Uncle Zhang use it.
I don't think the Song people will talk big about this matter.
It's just that Liu Da Scar himself didn't expect that the power and effect of this tactic would be so unexpected.
It's a big shock.
Not to mention Liu Dascar and Zhang Bangchang, everyone on the nineteen battleships was stunned by the results they had just made.
They are also old pirates, and there has been a time when they still don't know how to do it, and there is such a powerful method of warfare in naval warfare. They have now opened their eyes and feel that they have lived in vain for half their lives.
At the same time, when they slowly calmed down from the excitement and excitement, they began to be afraid again.
Yes!
It's just fear!
Now it was they who drove the warships of the Southern Barbarians to inflict heavy damage on Zheng Zhilong's people.
If it weren't for their good luck. If Zheng Zhilong's people drove this kind of warship to deal with them, you can imagine what fate these people would be.
Especially if the southern barbarians who were active in the Fujian area learned this method of warfare...... The consequences are unimaginable.
Don't look at the fact that they can bring such a heavy blow to Zheng Zhilong's people today, but Zheng Zhilong's power in the Fujian area is now very strong, if he learns this tactic...... It didn't turn out well.
And more importantly, on the side of the Southern Barbarians.
"This tactic of the Song Empire really works, it seems that when there is a melee at sea, I don't have to worry about anything."
Zhang Bangchang let out a long mouthful of turbidity in his chest, looked back at Liu Da Scar and said.
At this time, nineteen warships had already passed through Wang Renzeng's left flank. is rushing towards the center of the melee at full speed. Because the left wing had been crippled at this time, Zhang Bangchang and his team basically did not encounter any effective resistance along the way.
At the same time, in order to eliminate the Amami Island fleet in a short period of time, Wang Ren used both the right flank and the fleet of the central salient under his command.
The purpose of this is to eliminate as much vitality as possible from the people of Amami Island.
As for the left wing, Wang Ren had given the order to let them resist, and he no longer bothered to pay attention to the left wing.
After another crash overturned several small clippers. Zhang Bangchang's heart is really cool now.
"Uncle, it's really unthinkable, this kind of tactics used in melee. It was completely beyond my own expectations that it was so powerful. ”。 Liu Da Scar walked over and responded to Zhang Bangchang.
Yes, Liu Da Scar didn't tell a lie.
Indeed, he himself did not expect that the use of this method of warfare would have such an effect. It really amazed him.
A tactic like this can definitely come in handy on the eastern side.
Because in the sea battles here in the East, there are often hundreds of ships mixed together. In such a situation, the power that can be exerted by such a method of warfare is very amazing.
It can attack two enemy ships at once, and because of the close distance, if the gunner hits accurately. Then when the two ships pass by, they can completely destroy the two enemy ships.
Such an effective killing was definitely beyond the expectations of Zhang Bangchang and Liu Dascar.
"I originally thought that although the sailors of the Song Empire highly respected this method of warfare, the effect might not be as good as they said. But now it seems that I was completely wrong. ”
Liu Da Scar said as he set his eyes on the battlefield a nautical mile away.
"Uncle, do you know the way? In fact, these warships under our command have not maximized the power of this tactic at all. If you want to say that you can fully play this tactic, then only the sailors of the Song Empire. ”
Liu Da suddenly thought of the dense artillery on the ship in the Song Empire's naval division.
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Da Scar felt that his scalp was numb for a while.
Now they just use this kind of warship of the Southern Barbarians, and they have all played such an effect. If you were to drive the warships of the Song Empire, wouldn't it be even more against the sky?
It is important to know that the warships of the Song Empire had three decks, and there were forty-six guns on each side.
If an enemy ship passes by and more than 40 guns are fired, one side of the enemy ship can be completely destroyed.
How could a wooden hull withstand an iron shell.
It's as ridiculous as using flesh and blood to face bullets head-on.
If the hull of a ship is destroyed, then it is completely useless.
It seems that they have destroyed a lot of enemy ships just now, but the warship they are driving only has twenty-four guns, and there are only twelve on one side.
But even so, they just played that kind of result.
If it is replaced by a sailor of the Song Empire...... That's unthinkable.
It's not good, a one-time short shelling can completely bombard a ship.
After all, Liu Da Scar followed Zhao Hongyu and has been at sea from the Americas for several months. Therefore, compared to Zhang Bangchang, Liu Da Scar can be regarded as a very good understanding of the Song Empire's warships.
Moreover, Zhang Bangchang had never seen the sailors of the Song Empire.
If Li Xiang came back from Nagasaki, after listening to Liu Dascar's words, he would definitely agree with this very much.
"Why, the warships of the Song Empire are even more powerful than the Southern Barbarian warships we are driving now?"
Hearing this, Zhang Bangchang's eyes widened, and his face looked disbelieving.
In Zhang Bangchang's heart, he thought that the warships of the Southern Barbarians were already very powerful. He didn't believe that there was any other ship in this world that could be more sophisticated and powerful than the ships of these Southern Barbarians.
In fact, Zhang Bangchang can't be blamed for having such thoughts.
That's how he sees and perceives, like a toad at the bottom of a well, looking up at the sky and thinking it's like that.
The Oriental people of this era actually have a similar vision to Zhang Bangchang.
It is impossible for them to know how big this world is, and how many countries there are in this world.
And on the other side of the world, the 'Southern Barbarians' and 'Franco' people in their mouths have already begun their adventures at sea, and have achieved good glory and wealth.
Relative to Europeans, Orientals have become somewhat conservative.
In fact, the warships of the Europeans are excellent, but in fact, there is also a kind of ship here in the Ming Dynasty that is compared.
This kind of ship is a treasure ship.
Historically, treasure ships were like ancient aircraft carriers, with huge hulls.
On a treasure ship, there is also a small palace, which can garrison as many as 1,300 people at the same time.
And along with the treasure ships on the side, there are many warships of various types, which can be said to be the ancient aircraft carrier cluster.
It's a pity that the officials of the Ming Dynasty colluded with each other for their own selfish interests, and finally ruined the dream of navigation in the East. As for the blueprints of the treasure ship and several warships, they were actually destroyed.
If the Ming Dynasty still had these drawings, maybe the Europeans wouldn't have enough to see.
After all, such a treasure ship and several matching warships are still very advanced compared to this era.
It's just that for this point, Zhang Bangchang and Liu Da Scar can't know it. They are just pirates, rough people with little knowledge and learning.
The fleet quickly rushed to the battlefield of the melee, and Wang Renzeng had already spotted Zhang Bangchang and them who had crossed the left flank and were rushing over.
Immediately, several fighting boats cruising on the periphery withdrew, and then turned around and killed Zhang Bangchang and them.
At this time, there is still a distance between the two sides.
Therefore, Zhang Bangchang took advantage of this effort and asked: "I don't know what is so outstanding about the warships of the Song Empire, but seeing that you respect them so much, I think there are still some ways to come to the warships of the Song Empire." ”
Regarding what Liu Da Scar just said, Zhang Bangchang didn't pay attention to it at all.
After the battle just now, in his heart, these nineteen warships were already very sophisticated warships.
He didn't believe that there were ships better than these.
Seeing that Zhang Bangchang didn't believe what he said, Liu Dalongtou said: "Li Dalongtou has already gone to Nagasaki, compared to talking to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about our going to take refuge in the past." At the same time, I think Li Dalongtou must have seen the Imperial warship on the Nagasaki side, so he will definitely be very shocked. ”
Liu Da Scar actually came out with such a sentence without a head or tail.
Then, without waiting for Zhang Bangchang to say anything, Liu Da Scar continued: "Uncle, do you know the way. The warships of the Song Empire, which could be equipped with ninety-two guns on one ship, were divided into three decks on the hull, with forty-six ...... on each side" (to be continued......
