Chapter 134: Naval Battle (1)

In ancient times, ships mainly relied on wind power to sail, taking the fortune ship of the Ming Dynasty as an example, if it was downwind, it could run 5.6 to 11 kilometers per hour, and it could sail an average of 200 kilometers 24 hours a day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Of course, these data are not accurate, after all, the weather at sea is changing rapidly, and it is good to have a smooth journey, if the wind direction is constantly changing, it depends on how the experienced helmsman and sailors adjust the sails and even the course to maximize the speed of the ship.

Ye Zongman is such an extremely experienced helmsman, and he has more than 40 veteran sailors under him who are also very experienced, and these people can reach their destination safe and sound, even if they encounter storms.

Yang Guang chose the first to build the Fu ship as the flagship, in the beginning of the design, the engineer surnamed Fan of the Venus Shipyard added GPS satellite positioning and radio, of course, it was eliminated by Yang Guang when it was still on the drawings, but many instruments and equipment that are not more than the Ming Dynasty are still retained, such as sextants, lookscopes and so on.

When he first came into contact with a telescope made with modern industrial technology, Ye Zongman held it in his hand as if he had seen a book from heaven and refused to let go, after simply learning how to use it from Yang Guang, Ye Zongman found that with this thing, even the distant scene could be clearly seen in his eyes, so he couldn't help but be a little excited, and actually climbed to the top of the mast with light skills and assumed the responsibility of a lookout.

Sailing on the sea is actually quite boring, because the space is narrow and lacks entertainment facilities, and the blue sky and sea surface are all unchanged in China and Japan as far as the eye can see, and after the initial excitement, there is often a sense of psychological fatigue very quickly.

Yang Guang had known this for a long time, so he simply stuffed himself in the room from the beginning, and even had three meals a day brought in. Wang Ying came to him twice on the first day, but found that Yang Guang seemed to be fiddling with something in the room, so she wisely stopped bothering him.

"Bang Bang!" There was a knock on the door, and Wang Ying's voice came from outside: "Brother Zhao, Uncle Ye asked you to go." ”

Yang Guang opened the door, beckoned Zhao Wu, who was staying next door, to come over and guard, and followed Wang Ying to the deck. Just a glance, Wang Ying saw a long cylindrical object on the table in Yang Guang's room, with teeth and claws as if it should be a dragon, and he didn't know what it was for.

When Yang Guang came to the deck, he immediately heard a "boom" sound in the distance, and then he heard Wang Ying next to him say: "It's a cannon!" There's definitely a fight over there! ”

"Brother Zhao!" Ye Zongman fell lightly from the top of the mast, handed the telescope in his hand to Yang Guang and said, "It's two Franc ships, and the one behind is shelling the one in front with cannons." They weren't on our course, but when they spotted us, the ship that had fled ahead of them began to approach us. ”

Yang Guang did not prepare the "flying technique", he softly cast a "activation rope" spell, and with a wave of his arm, the rope flew out of his sleeve, flying high in the air, firmly wrapped around the mast, and then Yang Guang ordered the rope to contract, and he was pulled up effortlessly.

Standing on the mast, Yang Guang let the rope tie himself up, picked up the binoculars and began to observe the situation in the distance. The optical equipment of modern time and space is by no means comparable to the products of this era, and Yang Guang can clearly see the situation of the two Franc ships like watching a movie.

The ships fleeing in front were relatively small, and the range of the guns was inferior to the latter, and the latter was completely powerless to fight back from outside the range. The mainsail of the ship was already on fire, and there were multiple holes in the hull, and the speed was getting slower and slower.

After the hull of the ship in front of it also caught fire and the ship was completely floating motionless on the sea, the Franc machine that was in pursuit, turned around and drove quickly towards Yang Guang.

Yang Guang pulled the activation rope and slid down from the mast, and told Ye Zongman what he saw, Ye Zongman immediately asked people to change course to avoid, because Yang Guang's four lucky ships were not equipped with artillery, and once the fire was exchanged, it would definitely follow the fate of the previous Franc ship.

"No!" Yang Guang quickly stopped Ye Zongman's order, and he instructed Wang Ying to say, "Miss Wang, please find a few people to move the iron box in my room to the deck." ”

Wang Ying immediately led people to do as Yang Guang instructed, and a few minutes later, the three metal boxes that Yang Guang had brought from Mexico in modern time and space all appeared on the deck.

"Flag slogan, or tell the other party in any way, don't mess with me." Yang Guang said to Ye Zongman, a javelin rocket costs 300,000 US dollars, and if it is converted into silver, it is nearly 10,000 taels, fighting with this thing is no different from directly smashing the other party with money, and in Yang Guang's eyes, the Franc machine ship opposite is not worth this amount.

Ye Zongman's banner on this side, seeing that the other party's eyes have become a manifestation of external strength and middle strength, but the navigation skills of the Francophone people in this era are indeed better than those of the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why they honestly endure on the Asian sea is mainly because the number of their own ships is too small, and the local forces that have tens of thousands of lucky ships in their hands cannot afford it.

Of course, if these seemingly wealthy Francophiles see some weak fleets at sea, they may turn into pirates to get such a vote, anyway, this is also an old European tradition, and the queen of a certain country even publicly grants her own ships a "privateer license at sea", allowing them to rob non-national ships.

"Boom!" The cannon on the Franc machine fired, and a cannonball fell into the sea a few dozen meters away from Yang Guangfu's ship, stirring up a high column of water.

"You're killing yourself!" Yang Guang knew that the other party didn't take his pale verbal threat in his eyes at all, so he said a line that countless people were familiar with, and he bent down to open the first metal box, revealing the two javelin rockets inside.

At this time, the precision weapons of modern time and space appeared for the first time in the eyes of the local natives of the Ming Dynasty plane, and even a martial arts master like Ye Zongman still looked at these long round things with a puzzled face, not knowing what they were for.

Yang Guang opened the second box, took out the launcher, he loaded the rocket into it, firmly put the launcher on his shoulder, and began to use the electronic sight to aim at the target.

In the lens of the sight, Yang Guang could clearly see the Franc machine ship firing in the distance, and the clarity was far higher than that of the previous civilian telescope. When the sight locked onto the target, Yang Guang pressed the launch button without hesitation.
