Volume 2 Nanyang Chapter 472 The Battle of Xiamen Bay II
Chapter 472: Battle of Xiamen Bay II
Huang Shilong wanted to die with the ship. But the soldiers under his command did not agree, and fell to their knees one after another, saying, "If the adults don't leave, I won't leave either." If you fall into the trap, even if we go back, we will definitely be beheaded, so please have mercy on us. ”
While speaking, all the soldiers jumped into the sea with Huang Shilong in their arms.
A quarter of an hour's time.
All of Huang Shilong's efforts were only a quarter of an hour's delay for the Franc fleet.
However, the sailing ship was not the ship it is today, and it took no small amount of time to turn from a standstill and then back to the original course. After Aberkui understood Huang Shilong's interference, when he set off again, there were already sail shadows in the distance. Aberqua's mind sank.
It was the Zhenhai Weishui Division that appeared again, and the Zhenhai Weishui Division was a little different this time compared to the Thousand Households of Kinmen. Under the command of Huang Shilong, the warships of the Golden Gate Institute have moved closer to the Dongyong side, but the sailors of Zhenhaiwei are still like the traditional sailors of the Ming Dynasty, large and small ships, distributed in turn, and it seems that there are more than 100 ships densely packed. But most of the ships were small boats, densely clogged with waterways.
Suddenly, Aberkui also found that a sail shadow appeared behind him, it was the Gaopu Thousand Households Office, and the middle left Thousand Households War Ship.
Aberqua originally wanted to leave, but at the moment he found that if he wanted to go, I am afraid it would not be so easy.
"Since you don't want us to go, then I'll fight you."
Aberqua can see clearly, although these naval fleets are extremely numerous, but the firepower is relatively soft, and Aberqua has fought many such warships.
As a general, you don't want to fight in a place that is not good for you.
But if the situation fell into an unfavorable situation, Aberqua made up his mind to fight.
Because Xiamen Bay is a long and narrow bay, Aberkui pursued behind him, and the whole army rushed to the Zhenhai Guardian Division. The artillery of the Franc fleet bombarded fiercely, and the small boats in the front were no match for them at all, but in a few moments, they were punched out by the artillery one after another.
They are small in size and have few anti-sinking measures. There were not so many watertight compartments, and under the bombardment of artillery, they capsized above the sea in a short time.
From the very beginning, the Zhenhai Guardian Sailor was no match for him. Only the hull could resist artillery bombardment.
In the battle between the two sides, the Zhenhai Naval Division was defeated and retreated. Inch by inch, they retreated backwards. Watch the coastline to the south grow wider.
The fleet of the Franc aircraft was about to rush out of Xiamen Bay, and a castle appeared in the far south of the country, and this castle was nothing else, the Zhenhai Acropolis. Bypassing the Zhenhai Acropolis, you can enter the sea, and at that time, for the Franc fleet, it will be a dragon entering the sea, and with their strength, even if there are a few more guards in the army, they can be separated and eliminated one by one.
For Aberqua, the glimmer of hope is just around the corner.
But it was destined to disappoint him, because along the southern coastline, another large number of dense ships poured up. It was Wei Dalin's department.
More than 100 ships in Wei Dalin's department pressed over.
Aberqua's face darkened suddenly. He was not only because of the arrival of Wei Dalin's department, but also because of another reason, that is, the tide was rising.
Very usual synodic tide. Year after year, month after month, the ebb and flow.
But today's tide has cut off the Franc fleet and left Xiamen Bay in its last resort.
Under the strength of heaven and earth, no matter what kind of warship it is, it is just a small piece of wood. Hundreds of warships poured into the depths of Xiamen Bay.
"Damn." Aberqua never expected such a situation, and did not know much about the timing of the high tide in this area. Didn't pay much attention to it.
If there is no obstruction, it is easy for them to leave, even if the tide is high. It's just that I never expected that at such a critical time, the tide helped the enemy.
The tide put them in a very difficult position.
Wei Dalin's department, the town navy and naval division squeezed into Xiamen Bay, although Xiamen Bay was dozens of miles wide, but hundreds of warships rushed in, and it was extremely crowded for a while.
Aberqua made a decision, he knew that if he couldn't rush out now, the situation would be very bad in the future, so he ordered the Franc warship to avoid Zhenhaiwei's warship. Since it is not possible to go to the south, we have to try to bypass Xiamen Bay from the north.
But how could Wei Dalin let them go.
Among the more than 100 merchant ships, Wei Dalin selected a dozen sturdy ones with the most guns, and Wei Dalin personally sat in the front and rushed to the forefront.
Large and small ships surrounded it layer by layer.
From the outside, there was no trace of the Franc warship.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
Although every warship in front of him is no match in front of the Franc warship. But so mighty hundreds of warships, large and small. Even if it is left aside for artillery bombardment, it will take several days to sink them all.
And these warships are not all soft persimmons.
Aberqua didn't care about preserving his strength at the moment.
Aberqua had always been mindful of the loss of his ships, knowing that his supply port was thousands of miles away. Once the warship has been lost, it is very likely that it will not be able to cross this 10,000-mile sea frontier. Anything can happen above the sea. A small loss can turn into a wound that can sink a battleship.
But Aberqua couldn't care less at the moment.
Aberqua had reservations before, and now he is playing with all his might, regardless of the battleship. The combat effectiveness is even more complete to the Wei Dalin Division, and in any case, the quality of the Franc machine sailors is not good, but in terms of ship operation technology and naval combat technology, they are much better than both the Dongyong Naval Division and the Daming Naval Division.
They dared to go on an expedition of thousands of miles to get here, and they were all a group of outlaws.
was forced to a dead end, and even exerted 120,000 combat effectiveness. Wei Dalin's department was at the forefront, and the casualties were the greatest. Wei Dalin has changed ships three times.
And Wei Dalin's department is not Dongyong's regular army. Seeing the warship rushing ahead, it only took a moment to sink it. It can be said that the morale of the army is floating.
The people below didn't dare to step forward, and Wei Dalin had to change ships several times, so that as soon as he changed to a certain battleship, the people on the battleship would have a sad face. Because they knew they were going to die.
The rules of the battle between the two sides, from the sea area north of Zhenhaiwei, across the entire Xiamen Bay, fought for most of the day, and the Kinmen Institute was also in sight.
Wei Dalin looked at the morale of the people on the boat, and then looked at the ships that followed behind him, and said secretly in his heart: "No, if it goes on like this, it won't be able to stop the Francophile." ”
The form of the entire battlefield was that Wei Dalin's department was east of the Francophone fleet and blocked the entire Xiamen Bay, while the Zhenhaiwan Naval Division was behind Wei Dalin's department and the Francophone battleship, but it was just a tail-of-the-road pursuit.
The warships of the center-left and Gaopu institutes, to the west of the Franc aircraft battleship, looked as if they were being attacked by Wei Dalin's department. In fact, the two sides were far enough apart that each other's artillery could not reach each other's ships at all.
Therefore, the fiercest battles took place between Wei Dalin's troops and the Franc fighter ships, and Wei Dalin's troops repeatedly used the method of colliding with ships to force the Franc fighters to change their course and not rush out of Xiamen Bay, and anyone who dared to rush out to hit the ships would be warmly cared for by the Franc fighters, and almost they were either sunk or sinking.
And Wei Dalin has no one at hand, if he still has his Wei family fleet, he knows who is a brave general, and no one can take up the big responsibility. And Wei Dalin's subordinates at this moment were almost all temporarily handed over to him. Wei Dalin knows very little about him, so Wei Dalin can only rush to the front again and again, if it weren't for the fact that the Wei family still has some background, there are some old people of the Wei family around him who are desperately protecting each other, and they have died I don't know how many times.
It's just that it's not a way for him to work so hard alone, of course, he is a soldier, and a soldier is also a general. He fought desperately, barely maintaining his morale, but it didn't last long.
Wei Dalin was a little frustrated in his heart, and said secretly: "In today's battle, if I can't block the other party, I will be defeated and lost." ”
In this battle, Wei Dalin's ships suffered heavy losses and sank more than a dozen, which was still the only casualty that the Francophone people wanted to leave.
