Chapter 835: Battle of Dongyong IX

This is where the great war is imminent. And the war at sea is about to begin.

"Boom." There was a bang, and this was just the beginning.

The guns on the side of the ship started from the first and spread to the end, and the continuous sound of artillery occupied everyone's ears.

The artillery of this era did not dare to fire a salvo, the so-called salvo, that is, starting from the first artillery, it was fired sequentially.

However, even then, it is quite a large arm.

More than thirty battleships, hundreds of bronze artillery. Although the power is not small, the momentum is really devastating.

Thirty warships approached the Ming naval division. The outermost ships were attacked by concentrated fire. Several ships were knocked through the waterline and slowly began to sink.

In this big battle, only Huang Shilong came into contact with the Ming army first.

Rushing from Beigang to Wenzhou is a headwind.

So the voyage must take a zigzag line in order to use the wind power. Such a voyage will undoubtedly be much slower. And it is quite difficult to intercept a fleet on the sea.

Even though the strait is narrow, it is a strait, not a bay. The area is also quite broad.

Because Huang Shilong set out from Penghu first and dragged in the sea for a day or two, he discovered the Ming army's fleet.

If it weren't for the Ming fleet, sailing in a group, the speed would be relatively slow, after all, four or five hundred warships were organized. It is also a more difficult thing, from the point of view of the speed of the ship, it can only be from low speed, not from high speed.

So the fleet can only sail slowly. was finally chased by Huang Shilong.

More than thirty ships, compared with the hundreds of ships of the Ming army, occupy an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. But in terms of quality, it was Huang Shilong who was far superior to the Ming army.

The size of each battleship was better than that of the largest ship of the Ming army, that is, Xu Hai's ship.

And the firepower far exceeded the firepower of the Ming warships.

No matter how many ships there are, but the real hand-to-hand combat is only a few dozen ships.

Huang Shilong said: "Zheng Shen, Wei Dalin, do they have any news now?" ”

"No, the ship sent to search for it has not yet received a reply."

The fleet that searched for the Ming army at sea, and there was no exact time. Therefore, the three divisions of Bingfen, Huang Shilong, Zheng Shen, and Wei Dalin set out from different ports to search for the sea route from Beigang to Wenzhou.

"Keep releasing beacon smoke. The more the merrier. After Huang Shilong gave the order, he didn't pay attention to this aspect of things, to be honest, it was too normal to miss the date at sea. Before radio was widely used, missed was normal, and true convergence was nothing short of a miracle.

Under Huang Shilong's order, black smoke rose one after another, and a lot of them were added to the brazier on the ship. Therefore, there is a lot of smoke, and I hope that Zheng Shen and Wei Dalin, who are outside the battlefield, can see here.

Huang Shilong said: "Order, everyone pay attention, let go of the cannon at close range, and use the ignition bomb." ”

"Yes."

More than 30 warships, led by Huang Shilong's ship, approached the Ming army's fleet, and once the distance was closer, the power of artillery was brought into play.

And the ignition bomb was proposed by Zhu Houhuang.

That is, the cannonball is first put into the brazier, burned until it is hot and red, and then put it into the barrel, ignites the gunpowder, and fires it.

However, such ammunition is prone to problems.

For example, if there is an open flame near the artillery, it is easy to get together with the gunpowder and cause an explosion, not to mention anything else, if the strength of the artillery on the opposite side is okay, a shell hits here, knocks over the brazier, and it is easy to detonate a lot of gunpowder.

So, it's a weapon that is dangerous for both of them.

Of course, it is also Zhu Houhuang's last memory of the weapons of this era.

For many modern weapons, even if Zhu Houhuang has a memory, he can't find a way to make them in terms of craftsmanship, and the accumulation of technology is not good at all.

This kind of incendiary bomb was also found in the corner of his memory, and it seems that it was used by Britain in the war against Spain.

This kind of weapon is simply a double-edged sword, but in fact, it is not very popular among the Yongjun sailors, after all, it is too easy to go wrong. The sailor didn't want to use it at all.

But now Huang Shilong is using it, because the Ming army sailors are simply a live target, or not like a warship at all, but like a civilian ship.

The power of the bronze cannon was much greater than that of the Franc cannon.

After all, the problem of air leakage from the Franc cannon seriously affected the firing range.

In fact, there is not much gap between Daming and Dongyong, artillery casting technology, but the problem

This is where the great war is imminent. And the war at sea is about to begin.
