Chapter 656: Show the enemy to be strong
The Franc machine ships fanned out, but the East China Sea Fleet shot like an arrow to the enemy's heart, Wo Ya is an experienced captain, he immediately revised his tactics when he saw this, and ordered the ships on both sides to move closer to the middle, in his eyes, the captain of the Ming Dynasty is a rookie who understands sea tactics slightly, but lacks real combat experience, and the opponent who is not strong in naval warfare should choose to temporarily avoid the way to find fighters to fight with the enemy, like the Ming fleet is now going straight to the enemy's flagship combat mode is still in the hand-to-hand combat stage, Is the Ming Dynasty's ships still in the stage of winning by numbers? Is it any wonder Tuen Mun Island was occupied for so long before it was reclaimed......
Waiting for the main ship of the Shu army to approach, Wo Ya was surprised, the main battleship of the Shu army is so big, Tatar is beyond Wo Ya's expectations, but the size of the ship also means that the movement is slow, and the target is obviously easy to hit, Wo Ya settled down, ordered the sailor to turn the sail and rudder, and bypassed to the side, he didn't want to be caught between two gunboats of such a big size, it was fatal.
Seeing that the enemy's flagship dodged away, Wu Huai'an also ordered to turn and chase after him, and the ships of the two sides gradually approached, just when Woya was considering whether to straighten the hull and fire at the enemy ship, the enemy ship took the lead in turning around and aimed the dense gun muzzles on the hull at them.
"Bang, bang, bang......" The Warrior's dense artillery fire bombarded Woya's ship, Woya had never seen so many guns on a ship, although the huge hull was inconvenient to rotate and the target was too large, but its number of guns was enough to make up for its shortcomings, not to mention......
Woya hurriedly ordered the rudder to turn around, and let go of a lot of shells, but more than a dozen shells still fell on their ship, the deck was smashed, the hull was smashed through, and everyone was a little panicked, this was the first time they were attacked by the enemy in a head-on battle.
Woya shouted: "Full speed ahead, the gunner will return fire immediately!" Fight back! ”
Bang bang bang......
The sea was filled with gunsmoke, and the ships of the two sides launched a shelling of each other, Woya's eyes widened, he wanted to see how the defense of the big ship on the opposite side was, if the opponent's defense was not good, Woya would plan to lose a few ships, and also sink the enemy's fifteen big ships, which would be a heavy loss that the Ming Sailor could not bear, right?
But he was soon dumbfounded, most of their shells landed accurately on the side of the enemy ship, but they were all bounced off without exception, and Woya was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, only to hear his men shout: "The other party's hull is covered with iron plates, and the cannonballs can't hit it at a distance, Lord Governor, we must get closer to penetrate their iron plates!" ”
"Closer?" Wo Ya looked at the dense cannon holes on the other party's hull, he began to regret it a little, he shouldn't have listened to it, thinking that Daming didn't have a strong navy, but unfortunately it was too late to regret it now.
"All the ships get close to the enemy ships to the medium range and then open fire, concentrate their fire on the largest of them, or rush to the ships and kill them all!" ”
When the enemy approached, the warships on both sides suddenly bypassed to both sides, and when the enemy chased after them, they suddenly found that they were caught in the counter-encirclement of the fleet of the Shu Army, and everyone gasped in the face of the dense gun ports on the Shu Army warships.
Woya also fell into a dilemma, looking at the arrangement of the army, their commander is by no means a newcomer to the battlefield, although their own ships have an advantage in numbers, but the enemy's fifteen huge warships can completely offset this advantage, even if they try their best to use various tactics, at most it is a tragic victory, this is never allowed, you must know that they are too far away from their hometown, it is not easy to replenish the battleship, on the contrary, the Ming can be supplemented nearby, and the original intention of Woya is just the opposite, not to mention that now Spain is rising, Waya had to think about the consequences of a disastrous victory, at least he knew that the Governor of Goa would never lend him a ship.
After thinking about it, Wo Yasi gritted his teeth and shouted: "Flag order, stop the ship and stop the war!" ”
Count Kavnanbel was stunned for a moment and said, "Governor Woya, why is this?" ”
Woya took a breath and said, "Mr. Earl, the enemy's strength and combat sophistication are unexpected, and even if we win in the end, we will suffer heavy losses, which is really not worth it." ”
Count Kraftnanbel frowned, "But...... This may be our only chance. ”
Woya sighed, he also knew that if he missed this opportunity, it would be more difficult to defeat Daming's fleet in the future, let alone annihilate it, but after weighing it, Woya still decided to give up, and now both sides have not lost much, so it is best to shake hands and make peace, it seems that Daming has no ambitions for the sea, and there may be a chance in the future.
The two sides confronted each other again on the sea, and saw that Franc sent a small boat, and Wu Huaian also sent a small boat, and personally took a small boat to meet the opponent's small boat in the center of the confrontation between the two sides.
There were three people standing on the deck of the other party who were very eye-catching, Wu Huai'an carefully looked at the middle-aged man in the middle across the boat, and quickly judged his identity in his heart, Franc Ji was stationed in the governor of Thorn Gawoa, and he actually came in person.
Wu Huai'an suddenly regretted a little, why didn't he bring a few more masters over, catch the opponent at the negotiation table, and coerce the opponent to surrender is the favorite of the Franco man.
The middle-aged fat man beside Woya said: "This is the Governor of Woya, I am Count Kaffnanbel, look at your attire, your status in the army is not low, report your name, see if you are qualified to negotiate with us." ”
Wu Huai'an noticed the fat man beside Woya, he glanced at him seriously, and suddenly smiled: "It turns out that the father-in-law has arrived, please accept the son-in-law!" ”
Hearing Wu Huai'an's words, Count Kavnanbel almost didn't get mad on the spot, his eyes dug a look at Wu Huai'an hatefully, and sneered: "It turns out that you are the man who deceived my daughter, you still dare to come to see me, aren't you afraid that I will ask for your life?" ”
Wu Huai'an smiled: "My father-in-law is angry, Miss Celicia and I are married because we really love each other, how can we deceive us?" If you want to talk about deception, your father-in-law should have more experience, Celicia witnessed her father-in-law's slave ship, and she was heartbroken before she threw herself into the arms of her son-in-law. ”
Count Kavnanbel was so angry that his fat body trembled, and Wu Huai'an was about to provoke him twice, when Woya shouted: "Okay, Mr. Earl, he is the man who bullied Ling Yan?" Let Ben Governor come and tell him. ”
Count Kavnanbel held back his anger and translated Woya's words to Wu Huai'an as an interpreter: "This is our Franc Machine, the Governor of Manchuria, Lord Woya, who said that he admires you very much, what happened just now is a misunderstanding, we thought you were redbeard pretending. ”
Wu Huai'an smiled and said: "Since everyone has nothing to lose, it should be a real misunderstanding, father-in-law, my wife and I are newly married Yan'er, and it is difficult to part for a moment, and I also ask my father-in-law to raise his noble hand and let Celicia return to my side." ”
