Chapter 1648 - Hopeless
The tonnage of the Haihan Majesty-class warships is more than 1,700 tons, which is almost half larger than the "San Diego". The maximum number of naval guns deployed on one side of the ship can reach 25, which is also twice as much as that of the "San Diego". Two Majestic-class warships sandwiched the "San Diego" between the left and right sides, and then bombarded it head-to-head.
For example, the tactics of the Haihan warship are to first concentrate fire on the opponent's gun position, and strive to weaken or even eliminate the opponent's counterattack ability in the shortest possible time. As for the Spanish side, the only thing they could do at the moment was to pray that they would not be hit by shells in the next moment, so that they would still have the opportunity to fire again at the enemy.
The twelve-pounder guns deployed on the decks of the Asterio-class battleships mainly fired grapeshot bullets against the deck crews of enemy ships, while the large-caliber naval guns deployed on the lower decks were used to strike and destroy the enemy's gun emplacements and hulls. In a very short exchange of fire, the shells fired by the Haihan battleship destroyed more than half of the guns on the "San Diego", and several very large openings were blown open in the hull, as if a piece had been bitten off by some monster.
Juan was lucky to be alive, not even injured, and still able to command the battle, but not so fortunate to be around him, and both of his lieutenants were unfortunately shot and killed in the fire of the enemy ships. Therefore, he could only temporarily promote his orderly to adjutant and let him convey his orders. It's just that at this time, there were too many casualties on the "San Diego", and many posts on the ship were already unattended, and the situation was about to fall into a state of getting out of control.
However, at this time, Juan was already red-eyed, and he didn't care about how to evacuate the battlefield, but ordered the remaining crew on the ship to fill the position of the ship's guns as much as possible, and continued to fire at the enemy ship at all costs.
However, the transformation of fighting determination into combat effectiveness is not just achieved by a breath of blood, and although most of the Spaniards on the "San Diego" are not afraid to die, the current situation of this ship is not enough to support their fighting determination. Of the more than 20 guns on the ship, less than 10 of them could still maintain normal operations at this time, and perhaps after two or three more rounds of artillery bombardment by the enemy ships on both sides, this remaining little firepower output would come to an end.
Sure enough, the remaining few guns were also named by the Haihan battleship one by one and turned into squibs. Knowing that the battle would not be spared, Juan ordered the crew to be issued muskets in preparation for a final resistance. But at this time, as if a miracle happened, two Majestic-class warships actually took the initiative to leave the "San Diego".
"God must have heard our prayers!" One of the crew members was puzzled by the sight, and could only attribute it to a miracle.
But Juan didn't think so, he had never heard of any particular religious beliefs among the Haihans, and prayed that God could really work on these vicious infidels?
