337、Fleet battle is about to break out [1/2]

Seeing the imperial fleet rushing towards Magong Island, Yi Yun was really shocked, these stupid birds are really going to fight head-on? Oh my God! Six Dutch battleships, if each of them is counted as forty-eight cannons, a full two hundred and eighty-eight guns, if all these cannons are controlled by professional artillery, that is two hundred and eighty-eight artillery, if they fire together, it will really be a landslide and a frontal battle, how can they fight?

"Oh no, what should we do?"

Li Huamei shook her head with a wry smile and said, "We can't do anything unless you can order the emperor to stop marching, and now we can only pray that they will win." She saluted the fleet of the imperial court and said, "I wish you all the kings a victory!"

She pointed to a large reef and bay along the shore of the island, and sighed, "Let's go to shore first, under the cover of the bay and reef, and try not to see us by the Dutch scouts, and then wait for an opportunity." ”

"That's all there is to it now. Iyun nodded gloomily.

The battleship of the two got into the shadow of the island next to them, and under the cover of the reef, followed Zhu Qingqing and his party from a distance.

Due to the very wide field of view on the sea, Yi Yun has been looking around with "Yuanwang" and Western telescopes, and soon after, a port under construction appeared on the coast of Magong Island, dozens of miles ahead.

This is Magong Port, which is a very famous port, and in Yiyun's world, he has also heard of the name of Magong Port. The water depth of this harbour is 6 to 10 meters, and the water area is about 60,000 square meters. It can be used by ships of 3,000 tons. It can not only be used as a military port, but also a very famous fishing port.

Now, this good port is under construction, and Yi Yun sees many ragged people of the Great Meng Kingdom on the wharf, sweating to carry stones and wood, building port facilities, building wooden frames and other things. These people were obviously suffering inhumanely, all of them were yellow and thin, and they walked like candles in the wind.

Most of them have shackles wrapped around their feet. It was very difficult to walk, and I had to carry heavy loads, which was unspeakably miserable.

Among these people, scattered were the brightly dressed Dutchmen. With a command knife in his waist and a leather whip in his hand, he shouted to manage them.

Behind the port, there is a castle under construction, the castle, like the port, has not yet been built, but the progress of the castle is relatively fast, and it has begun to take shape, it is a typical Western-style fortress, square. There were firing holes with guns on it, and there were raised positions at the four corners of the walls to cover firing

There were also many people under the castle who carried heavy mud and stones, and moved with difficulty.

In a corner on the side of the castle, there is a group of Dutch soldiers, who are throwing several corpses into the sea, these corpses are wearing the clothes of the people of the Great Meng Country, it seems that they are people who have been exhausted by high-intensity labor.

"Holy shit!" Yi Yun suddenly became irritated in his heart.

"Don't be angry! You should not be angry on the battlefield, and only by being calm can you do good things. Chen Yuanyuan pinched his palm, and Yi Yun suddenly woke up. nodded at Chen Yuanyuan: "Sister Yuanyuan is right, I can't be angry." ”

Chen Yuanyuan said the truth, Yi Yun understands, although otaku may not have experienced many ups and downs, but he has played many games. There have been many tense and fierce confrontations. He understands very well that the more before the start of the critical battle. The more important it is to keep your mind calm. If you go to StarCraft with anger against the enemy, it is very likely that you forgot to build troops, or forgot to do micro-manipulation, forgot to scout, and ended up being beaten into a pig's head by the enemy.

Another example is playing the arena in "World of Warcraft", any unnecessary anger may make you make a micro-manipulation mistake, and as a result, the enemy will seize the opportunity and complete it with a set of combos. ...,

He closed his eyes, and for a moment removed the misery of the enslavement of the people from his mind, and when he opened them again, it was clear. Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but snort: "Good job, my man is really promising." ”

Li Huamei also admired his ability to control his emotions, and gave him a thumbs up.

Yi Yun shook his head, still looking at the serious business.

He looked in front of the port, and saw six beautiful Dutch galleons, which had already spread out in front of the port, and in front of them was the Beiyang Naval Division of the Great Meng Country, led by the Royal No. 1 giant dragon boat, and the large fleet of as many as twenty-one ships, separated from the six Dutch warships a few nautical miles, looking at each other from a distance.

Comparing them together, the size of the ships suddenly becomes clear at a glance. On the side of Dameng Country, except for the Royal No. 1 Dragon Boat, the other ships are a few laps smaller than the Dutch galleon. However, there is only one Royal No. 1 dragon boat, and there are six Dutch galleons on the opposite side.

Li Huamei stretched out her finger and pointed to the Dutch galleon, and sighed lightly: "Gallion galleon...... This is the latest Dutch warship, and six of them came at once, which is really a big problem. ”

Hearing the term Gallien, Iyun, who had played "Age of Discovery", was also a little surprised, this is a generation of famous ships, it was only adopted by most European countries in the sixteenth century?p>

Annoyed pouring rejuvenated stricken, twisted and shrugged, lan, lying on the ground, palpitation, stool cavity, bei, paralysis, this dan site, the site of the nunnery, the site of the anthem, the c, the concubine, the leisure, the oars, the neon, the thief, the Γ, the stool, the cavity, the shell, the pier, the p>

It has a lower bow that reduces wind resistance on the foreside, making it much faster and easier to steer than a regular galleon. Moreover, its hull was longer than that of a normal sailing ship, which not only improved stability, but also provided more gun emplacements, and it was also very lightweight, other Dutch galleons weighed a thousand tons, but the galleon galleons weighed five hundred tons...... Note that this is the dead weight, not the load.

The drastic reduction in its own weight also makes it faster, more loaded, and can be equipped with more cannons and cargo, and it has a very strong hull, which is suitable for ocean exploration, ocean trade, and high-intensity naval warfare, and is a super warship that can do anything.

Yi Yun was most concerned about how many cannons this kind of ship had, and he counted them one by one, this kind of ship had one bow gun, one stern gun, and twenty-four cannons on each side of the ship, and the whole ship was fifty cannons in total.

"Fuck, this ship...... Two more guns than a Spanish galleon!" Iyun was greatly displeased.

Li Huamei next to her sighed: "This is not the biggest, the largest galleon I have ever seen, it can carry sixty cannons, it is very terrifying, fortunately we didn't meet this time." After all, this is too far away from their own country, and they must first secure their interests in Africa and near India, and they cannot reach out in the Far East. ”

Yi Yun nodded, others may not understand Li Huamei's words, but Yi Yun, who has the world map in his mind, understands it as soon as he hears it. During the Age of Discovery, the fiercest competition for interests was not in Asia, but in Africa and Central Asia, that is, near India, where the colonial powers had broken through, and the situation in the Far East seemed to be somewhat relaxed.

At this time, the fleet of the Great Meng Country has begun to change its formation, and due to the language barrier, the Great Meng Country side does not want to negotiate. For the Donglin Party: What are you kidding, a small Western country came to our Heavenly Kingdom to occupy an area and build a castle, Uncle can bear it and aunt can't bear it, you still expect to negotiate? I can kill you with a piece of boogers, why do you need to negotiate.

The Dutch actually want to negotiate, but Da Meng has already set up a battle formation, so they have no room for negotiation, so let's fight first. ...,

The two sides soon launched a formation, and the naval battle formation of the Great Meng Country is more, basically, it is a large number of lucky boats surrounding the giant dragon boat, forming a circular formation. Why is there such a formation? The reasons are...... There is an emperor on the giant dragon boat! The naval warships did not seek victory, but first sought not defeat, at least to protect the emperor, so they adopted such a strange defensive formation.

But on the Dutch side, it was much simpler, with six battleships lined up in a horizontal line, facing the fleet of the Great Moe Country with the side side, an authentic battleline style of play.

The battle line tactic, that is, in the naval battle, the battleships lined up in a line, sailed past the enemy fleet, and then took turns to fire the artillery, this tactic is still a new style of play in the West, just invented by the Dutch and the British, they used the battle line tactics to beat the traditional naval power Spain all over the ground, pouting.

This powerful tactic became popular for three hundred years, and it was not until the late nineteenth century, when new types of ship maneuvering tactics appeared, that battleline tactics withdrew from the stage of history. The tactics of ship maneuver are based on the premise of high mobility and high lethality of new warships, and under the level of shipbuilding in the 16th century, battle line tactics are the most powerful tactics, and there is no other tactic that can replace them.

But...... This kind of advanced tactics, the people of the Great Meng Kingdom still don't know it!

Zheng Shuliang, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion on the giant dragon boat, looked at the strange formation of the Dutch and laughed: "Haha, Fanbang barbarians, they can't even fight, and the enemy actually lined up with the side against us...... Isn't this telling us to rush over and cut them in half?"

The Donglin party members next to him laughed together: "That's it...... How can there be any reason to turn the army horizontally at the enemy? The barbarians are so stupid!"

"We were shocked when we saw that their ship was quite big just now, but it turned out that barbarians are barbarians, and they are too far away from our Heavenly Empire, so it is easy to deal with such an enemy. ”

"General Ye, give the order to rush, cut off the enemy fleet, divide and encircle it!"

The Donglin Party laughed together.

However, Ye Lou is not as stupid as them, after all, he is the commander of the Beiyang Naval Division, and he has fought water battles, and he knows a simple truth, there are more side guns on the ship, that is to say, it is easier to shell with the side against the enemy.

He couldn't help frowning and said, "The Dutch are in such a formation...... Does that mean they don't want to fight our jumping gangs, but plan to use artillery battles to decide the winner?"
