Chapter 1649: Battle of Dalawan Bay (1)
"Order, the fleet continues to break forward, tilting towards the southeast, keeping a distance of two miles from the Western fleet, fire first, all the artillery and rockets are put into battle, Lao Tzu wants to put a big fire on them, and Lao Tzu is accurate!"
Zheng Haotian had already made careful arrangements before he arrived, the Portuguese battleships rushed forward, the heaven-class battleships and the earth-level battleships were behind, all the heaven-class battleships were blocked by the ground-level battleships, when the distance was far away, they couldn't find the clues at all, and now that the distance is close, the careful generals of the Western Fleet will naturally see the clues, the key is that before the Westerners react, they launched a crazy attack on the Western Fleet!
"Tlop, something is wrong!"
Suddenly, Philok said urgently, "Look, the battleships in front of this are undoubtedly Portuguese warships, but the warships in the back are not like ah, but like the warships of the Ming Empire......"
Tropp was shocked, raised his binoculars, and looked carefully into the distance!
Sure enough, behind the main Portuguese battleship, a giant ship appeared, and the warships of the Ming Empire were clearly different from Western warships in terms of weapons and structure, and they were easy to distinguish!
"Order the flag soldiers, immediately send a signal to the Portuguese fleet, let their flagship move forward, the rest of the battleships temporarily retreat, stop advancing, and ask General Crisdogan to come and speak!"
Trope shouted.
It's just that at this time, Zheng Haotian's fleet has been on par with the rear army and the Chinese army of the Western Fleet, and the two fleets are in a parallel state.
Boom Boom Boom Boom ......
In an instant, more than 50 warships, all the side guns all fired, together with the bow guns on the heaven-class battleships and the earth-class battleships, the stern guns also fired at the same time, and the number of guns put into it directly exceeded 1,000, in addition to 1,000 guns, there were hundreds of sets of rockets, which also began to shoot, and one rocket after another dragged a huge tail flame towards the Western fleet!
The firepower is too powerful, the distance is only less than two miles, and the Western fleet is docked on the edge of the Dara Bay, is being repaired, all of them are live targets, for the Portuguese warships, their crosshairs are insufficient, the hit rate is not high, and they can guarantee a hit rate of three to five percent, which is already the end, what really plays a role is that the main battleships of the Daming Fleet hiding behind the Portuguese battleships, nearly thirty capital warships, are all put into battle, two miles apart, With the accuracy of rifled guns, it is enough to increase the hit rate from 3 percent to about 20 percent!
More than 100 shells and dozens of rockets landed accurately on the battleships of the Western Fleet!
The close-range attack had too great a destructive effect on Western warships, and one after another, under the attack of the flowering cannons, was directly beaten to pieces, and many battleships were already on fire!
"No, no! Buy Karma! ”
Blake looked at it with a split eye, these battleships were specifically aimed at the main battleships of the Western Fleet, and the position of the attack was exactly in the position of the British fleet, the unlucky British fleet, more than twenty capital battleships were concentrated by flowering artillery, and there were not a few places where they were concentrated by rockets, and the two most unlucky main battleships were concentrated by several shells, directly and heavily damaged, and the hull had already begun to tilt!
"Shoot back, shoot back! Fight back now! Fack! ”
Blake directly burst into a foul mouth, it doesn't matter if the fuck you are Portuguese or from the Ming Empire, you have caused such a big loss to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu must say that you are all sunk!
In the same way, Troppe is already anxious, there is really a fraud, there is really a fraud, either the Portuguese fleet has defected, or the Portuguese fleet has been captured by the Ming army, this time, the Western fleet is a big loss!
"Order, the whole army will go to battle, give me an all-out attack, go all out to attack, and this fleet must be annihilated here!"
Trop roared madly, the other party only has fifty warships at best, but the Western fleet staying here is about four hundred, and the difference in combat power between the two is eight times, it is not difficult to annihilate all the opponents!
It's just that the Western fleet is not in combat readiness at all, and even if the Dutch fleet in front is cruising, it can't complete the transfer in a short time and launch an attack on Zheng Haotian's fleet!
From entering the state of combat readiness to firing artillery to meet the battle, it is impossible to complete the attack without a few minutes, and it is enough for the Portuguese warships to complete at least two waves of shooting, and enough for the Ming warships to complete four or five waves of shooting!
Zheng Haotian commanded all the warships to launch shells and rockets without fatalities!
Wave after wave!
The sky is full of shells and rockets, and the Western fleet is unlucky, too unlucky!
On the Dara Bay, all the battleships were in a mess, and they started the battleships one after another, urgently evading, but these battleships were too close and squeezed into a lump, and the sky was full of shells, where to hide?
In just five minutes, the Western Fleet suffered heavy losses, more than 400 shells, 200 rockets, tilted on the battleships of the Western Fleet, countless battleships, ignited a fire, and were blown up beyond recognition!
One after another, the battleships began to sink slowly with raging fires, and some were even torn apart by the flowering bullets and completely disintegrated!
At this time, the Western warships finally completed their rearmament and began to devote themselves to the counterattack!
Counterattack!
A Western artillery began to counterattack, and the same cannonballs in the sky hit Zheng Haotian's battleship, smashing them one after another, and the two sides fell directly into a tragic battle!
After all, the number of battleships was too small, and the number of artillery was also too small, and soon, Zheng Haotian's fleet was suppressed, especially the more than 20 Portuguese battleships in front, almost all of them were hit by the shells of the Western fleet, and some even sank to the bottom of the sea, even if it was a ground-class battleship and a heaven-class battleship, a few of them were injured by the ferocious artillery fire of the Western fleet!
Zheng Haotian knew in his heart that if he continued to fight in such a situation, within a quarter of an hour, at least half of his battleships would sink to the bottom of the sea, and the firepower of the battleships of the Western Fleet was too fierce, even if the hit rate was extremely low, it would not be able to withstand the large number of other people's artillery......
However, Zheng Haotian can't retreat, retreating at this time, I'm afraid that these battleships will be followed and pursued by others, and all of them will sink in the sea!
Zheng Haotian is waiting, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the First Fleet, as long as the main force of the First Fleet arrives and joins the battle group, even if he can't defeat the opponent, but it is no problem to cover his retreat!
