Chapter 65 Bombardment of the Port of Peso

The captains of the Peso garrison fleet were in good spirits, and the angle of fire of the fine iron smoothbore guns did not cause them to panic, and the four brigs continued to move forward without dodging the splashes around them. After entering the firing range of the iron smoothbore gun, they did not stop attacking.

This distance is certainly within the effective range of the iron smoothbore gun, but the low hit rate can hardly make the battle end quickly. The invading Jiuzhuo fleet has divided six brigs to sail towards the merchant ships in the port from the left and right, and there are too many merchant ships in the dock, and the town of Biso has increased the distance between the dock and the town in order to have a larger throughput, the height of the town-level batteries is limited, and the batteries are equipped with iron smoothbore guns, so that the Jiuzhuo fleet equipped with fine iron smoothbore guns can hide outside the range of the batteries to attack the merchant ships on the outer layer of the docks.

Ordinary players in the lower echelons can be treated like dogs by the Peso Legion, but the Peso Legion is trying to cater to the merchants who give away gold coins. If the merchants who chose the port of Peso as their calling point suffered too much damage in this attack, they would certainly question the safety of the port of Peso and move to other ports, and the drastic reduction in taxes in the port of Peso would directly affect the fundamental interests of the Piso legion.

Therefore, after receiving the news of the attack on the port, the Piso Legion issued an order to the port garrison fleet: "At all costs, prevent the Jiuzhuo fleet from attacking the merchant ships in the port, minimize the losses, as long as the central area of the port can be kept, the garrison fleet will not have any problem if it is lost!" ”

Although I don't know how the Jiuzhuo fleet in the South China Sea of Dahan flew to the Philippines, the Peso garrison fleet met the Jiuzhuo fleet after receiving the order. Fortunately, in order to prevent the merchant ships in the harbor from escaping, the Jiuzhuo fleet in front of him divided its forces into three, and he did not have to worry about being besieged by nine brigs. Unfortunately, Jiuzhuo's fleet was divided into three routes, and he could only block one way, unable to block the attack of the other two warships on the port, and losses were inevitable.

How to minimize losses? That's only a quick fix!

In the face of three enemy ships, the Peso garrison considered itself to have the advantage of one battleship. As long as the enemy ships in the middle can be quickly sunk, and the sloop patrol fleet that is rushing back, it should be possible to force the remaining warships of the Jiuzhuo fleet away from the port of Peso, so that it can be regarded as a successful defense of the port, as for the loss of the merchants, let it be dealt with by a legion, what can four against nine more want?

If you want to settle the battle quickly, you need to bring the two sides closer. Taking advantage of the numerical superiority of its own artillery, the Peso garrison did not turn to engage the Jiuzhuo fleet when it came within range of its own artillery, but lined up four battleships in a line to reduce the striking surface, and then continued to advance in a serpentine line to avoid the shells.

Rapid projectiles passed the sides of the ship's hull, and the occasional hit hit the deck through the bow of the ship, taking the lives of a large number of sailors. The Peso garrison flotilla did not care, replaced the lost sailors and moved on. As the distance continued to shrink, the hit rate of the Jiuzhuo fleet finally reached a level that the garrison fleet could not bear.

If you continue to move forward, it is not a tactical advance, but a death. The peso fleet began to turn, the guns poked out of the cannon holes, and the two brigs were left to fight with the Jiuzhuo Middle Fleet, and the two brigs in the tail flanked the rear of the Jiuzhuo Middle Fleet.

The head and tail are the weak positions of all sailing ships, and the tail of the Jiuzhuo Middle Road Fleet is the No. 3 ship. In the face of the tail attack of the two brigs, I am afraid he will not be able to hold out for long. At this time, the combat auxiliary department of the Lingxiao Legion made a suggestion to Gangzi after calculation, "You can call the No. 3 ship to resist the attack from the rear alone." Ships No. 1 and No. 2 used their artillery superiority to deal with the enemy in the front. ”

Tian Ji horse racing, weak to strong, strong to weak, contain one side, defeat one side, this method of coping is decent, but ...... You guys look too much at the No. 3 ship, right? In order to take care of these guys who are commanding the battle with the "Sail Naval Battle Regulations and Emergency Handling Measures", my brother has slowed down the pace of the battle! If only my brother was bringing a Black Sail Pirate. I had already caught them up and encircled them in the middle and beat them up, where was the opportunity for them to divide their forces and threaten the tail of the brother's fleet?

If the No. 3 ship is divided into separate operations according to the advice given by the Combat Auxiliary Department. It is estimated that the two ships of the other people will be divided casually, and he will turn to the unknown one to fight, and the fact that his brother attacked the port of Peso with a group of rookies will also be exposed. If the merchant ships in the port of Peso learned that the captains who surrounded them were all parallel goods. Why don't you rush out together? When the time comes, do you expect them to turn over the book and stop the boat! Hum...... It was their ship that was robbed by a merchant ship, and my brother was constantly surprised.

Of course, if you hit morale, my brother won't say a word.

"In the face of the fine iron smoothbore guns of our three ships, these Filipinos also dare to divide their troops, at first glance, they are parallel goods that they don't understand fart, no wonder the Peso fleet went to the South China Sea without them, it's a shame! The brethren ignored the two warships that had been outflanked behind them, and first concentrated their fire on the enemy in front of them into the sea. ”

Ship 3 asked, "But what about those two ships coming around and beating me in the ass?" ”

Gangzi said nonchalantly: "Then you straighten the butt of the ship and tell him to beat, the butt is not like the bow of the ship, it doesn't matter if such a high tail tower blocks a few more shots, if you want any anger, you can all greet the enemy ships in front, and when we beat them down, then turn your head to help you take revenge, you must resist before that." ”

Ship No. 3: "......"

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

……

Look, this is the fearlessness of the ignorant, and the morale is available!

The strategy of the Peso garrison fleet was originally to attract the enemy fleet to divide one battleship to protect the tail, and then deal with one enemy ship in two against one, and then the remaining two ships would be easy to deal with.

But who knew that Gangzi was uneasy to play his cards with common sense, and he didn't care about the two brigs that outflanked his tail, and made it clear that he wanted to sacrifice the tail ships and concentrate the firepower of the three brigs.

The frontal peso battleships became two against three, and the three two-masted battleships of Gangzi were equipped with fine iron smoothbore guns, and the firepower was already stronger than the other party, and Gangzi also was extremely shameless and inspired, giving full play to the "above firepower", and the two frontal peso battleships were completely surrounded by shells, and the hull was shot again and again, under such pressure. The counterattack of the two peso ships was weak.

As for the two peso battleships with a detour in the tail, because Gangzi ignored them, they reached the position smoothly, and all 20 guns were aimed at the No. 3 ship in the tail.

The captain of the No. 3 ship only knew that the stern was the weak point of a battleship, but to what extent it was weak. was fooled by Gangzi for a while, and he didn't care about the two peso battleships behind him, and he held back his strength to enjoy the pleasure of ravaging his opponent.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The friendly ship was already in danger when it was attacked by three brigs, and the two peso battleships that arrived at the position immediately launched an artillery attack on the No. 3 ship of the Jiuzhuo fleet, in an attempt to attract the No. 3 ship to relieve the pressure on the friendly ship.

"Poof...... Poof......"

The undisturbed firing caused the Peso battleship attacking the stern of No. 3 to hit a significant increase in the accuracy rate, and in the first round of shelling three shells hit the aft tower of No. 3, one of which passed through the rear window of the captain's room. Broke through the wooden door of the captain's room and hit the bridge, and the whistling cannonballs shot past the captain of the No. 3 ship, and the frightened captain sat on the ground and shouted: "Gangzi, didn't you say that the tail tower can block the cannonballs?" ”

"When did I say that? I only said it could block a few more, but I didn't say it could! "Gangzi is skinned.

"You're ......! Count you ruthless! What am I going to do? The shells from the back hit my bridge. ”

"Hold on! Continue to attack the enemy ship head-on with all your firepower. If you hang up, the first mate will carry out this order, and the first mate will be executed by the helmsman, and the two enemy ships behind them will fight him, let's fight ours, and see who solves the target first, who will win. Gangzi took out the style of a fleet commander and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Execute the order! ”

“…… Be! Captain No. 3 reluctantly got up, ignoring the frequent sound of shells piercing the rear, and vented all his anger on the front of the Peso battleship. Beat! Beat! Didn't you even eat? The same ship, the same guns, how could the guns of the No. 1 ship fire so fast, and they all gave the captain the speed up. ”

The two fleets in the middle were fighting fiercely, and the warships on the left and right flanks of the Jiuzhuo fleet reached the maximum range line of the Peso battery without any hindrance, and the two formations of six brigs moved laterally along this line, and all the side guns were launched. The peso pier in the distance was already full of boats. Without precise aiming, the muzzles of sixty guns rushed together to the densest places of the ships.

At this time, Gangzi had already opened the video of the attack on the port of Peso. I heard that another Jiuzhuo fleet appeared outside the Philippine peso port. Moreover, this fleet has managed to encircle the port of Biso, and this news immediately caused a sensation. The world's goal is to move from the South China Sea to the Philippine peso port.

How did they do it? If the Jiuzhuo fleet, which has been making public appearances and escorting the Jiuzhuo caravan south, is fake, then how did this real Jiuzhuo fleet hide so many eyes and ears from the port of Piso? You must know that the two sides are fighting, they have put a lot of effort into intelligence, they have a large number of informants in their hands to provide information for themselves, and a large number of patrol ships are also scattered on the sea, this way from Jeju Island to Piso Port such a long distance, the scale of nine brigs turned into no one to find out, it is really a bit unbelievable.

Regardless of how the Jiuzhuo fleet did it, it is an indisputable fact that they succeeded in transferring the main force of the peso fleet and making a surprise attack on the port of peso. Players watching the battle can not only see the live battle direct shot sent by Gangzi, but there are also many players in the port of Peso who are also broadcasting this battle live, which is really ...... Earn over!

Through the video, you can see the scene of the entire Piso port battle, in the middle is the three brigs of the Jiuzhuo fleet are engaged in the battle of the Piso garrison fleet, and the battle situation induces it is impossible to see who has the advantage.

On either flank, there were three brigs of the Jiuzhuo fleet, and they crossed the hull from a distance, slowing down the ship, and one by one the swarthy muzzles were pushed out of the gun doors. The noisy dock was silent, and everyone looked at the battleship on the sea, folded their hands and prayed to the sky. Then the smoke was the first to erupt from the muzzle of the gun, which was mixed with red fire clouds, and the low roar shook the sea surface in a circular ripple, and the sharp whistling sound flashed in the ears, and the hulls of the ships on the periphery of the dock trembled, and the mast of one of the ships fell into the sea with a "click" sound.

"Shelling!" "Shelling!"

The fleet of the Great Han Jiuzhuo began an indiscriminate shelling of the ships in the port of Piso! The cries instantly rang out throughout the pier of the port of Piso, and the nine war songs were still rousing and rolling in the air above the port of Peso, tide pushing tide after wave, competing with each other for the peak, laughing at the desperate crowd below.
