Chapter 1754 All-round strike

"Prince Sheng, WRNLL!"

When he heard the roar of heavy artillery from behind, Xu Dongyun was blown up.

It was agreed to let you hold the enemy and buy time for the third detachment, but you directly used heavy artillery.

You are trying to take credit!

"What should we do now?"

Seeing the actions of the fourth detachment, military and political Gao Huaide was also full of lawsuits.

The chief of staff, Tuhai, reacted very quickly, and immediately suggested: "Now it is best for the whole army to go north and catch the Spaniard's rear, so that we can win all battles in one battle."

Xu Dongyun slapped the railing angrily.

"That's the only way to do it. After I go back, I have to break off his front teeth."

On the flagship behind, watching the two detachments fighting each other, Shang Kexi laughed, like watching a play.

"Hahaha, these boys are more cunning than each other."

Xu Jianzhong was a little gloomy.

"I have to teach them a lesson when I turn back, how can I plot against each other on the battlefield?"

Shang Kexi hurriedly stopped him.

"It's not a big problem, but it's just a matter of careful thinking. You see, the third team is still heading north. They care about the overall situation, and this kind of fighting can also exercise their resilience."

Ocean-going operations have high requirements on the quality of generals, and there are many situations that need to be dealt with.

The commanders of the two detachments are able to adapt to the situation and play tricks on each other. In Shang Kexi's view, this is a sign of progress.

Only in this way can we rest assured that they are alone.

Wang Zisheng didn't know that Xu Dongyun was greeting his family, even if he knew, he didn't care.

"Order the Sixth Squadron to go to the entrance of the strait to lay mines, and the rest of the ministries will step up their firepower."

The Spaniard is still in a daze.

After all, I have never been hit by an enemy at such a long distance!

Is this really a cannon?

Not an artifact of God?
Before the Spaniard could react, three minutes later, the second round of volleys from the fourth team came.

With the first round of corrections, the accuracy of the second round has improved a lot. At least 80.00% of the shells fell into the Spanish fleet.

The power of the heavy artillery shells determines that as long as it explodes near the Spanish warship, it will inevitably cause devastating damage.

More Spanish warships were either shattered by direct hits or devastated by nearby explosions. There were raging fires and wailing from the Spaniards everywhere.

"Scatter, all scatter, outflank and move forward!"

Juan José came to his senses at last, and hurriedly gave orders that were more or less correct.

The Spaniards had been afraid for a long time, and hurriedly changed from gathering together to scattered across the ocean, wanting to approach the fourth detachment from more directions.

In their view, this may be the only chance to win.

Although the essence of the Spanish navy has disappeared into the historical turmoil, the background of dominating the ocean for many years is still there.Even when encountering the incomprehensible artillery of the empire, they were only afraid, but did not collapse.

Only such an opponent can arouse the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers of the ocean-going fleet.

"Order each squadron to fight on their own, be careful not to be surrounded by the enemy, and give full play to their mobility."

The Spaniards chose to disperse their assault, and Wang Zisheng also decided to disperse his forces.

Although the artillery of the fourth detachment has a long range, the hit rate is very impressive after the enemy disperses. If a hundred shells can hit ten rounds, it is a big hit.

Therefore, it is only possible to use skirmishers against skirmishers and use the superior mobility of the Imperial Navy to play tricks on the enemy.

For a time, there was no order on the entire ocean, and it looked like a scattered galaxy when viewed from the sky.

The artillery hit rate of the fourth detachment plummeted, but the Spaniards also had to pursue weakly on the open sea.

With the performance of their warships, it is really too difficult to get close to the warships of the fourth detachment.

When did the Spaniards encounter this kind of battle where they could only be beaten but could not fight back?
No matter how low the artillery hit rate of the fourth detachment was, Spanish warships were always hit.

And as long as it hits one shot, it means that a battleship is blown up.

Unlike the previous naval battles, if you hit hundreds of big iron balls, it will only turn into a honeycomb, and you can still float on the sea.

During the melee, the Spaniard's warship finally caught up within a kilometer.

It fueled their hope that with a little more effort, they could be in range.

It's a pity that the light artillery of the fourth detachment was the first to enter the range.

The firepower density of the warships of the fourth detachment was greatly increased at once, forming a barrage like a rainstorm directly on the sea.

Although light artillery can't shoot a warship with one shot, they also use explosive shells, which can not only seriously injure Spanish warships, but also cause fires.

In addition to light artillery, rocket launchers can finally participate in the battle.

The dispersal of the Spaniards was not a complete dispersal.

They dare not.

If they were completely dispersed, their command would immediately be messed up, and there would be no need to fight.

It's just a change from a large group to a small team, and each small team also has a hundred or so warships, which are used to exert a certain advantage in group strikes.

Such a target is the rocket launcher's favorite.

When orange flames covered the sky, the Spaniards saw a sight they would never forget.

A relatively large team was completely covered by rockets, and the sea area was instantly covered by thick smoke, explosions, and waves, as if a volcano had erupted.

When the gunpowder smoke cleared, all that remained was billowing flames and the wailing of countless Spaniards before they died.

Although the hit rate of the rocket launcher is very low, the coverage is huge!
And sea is different from land.

As long as the land is not directly hit by the rocket launcher, there is a high probability of surviving.

But the rocket launchers used by the navy are filled with fuel.

Even if the explosion cannot destroy the battleship, the random splashing of burning oil has become a nightmare for wooden battleships.

In particular, even if this kind of oil is spilled into the sea, it will still burn as usual, forming a large dead zone.

None of the Spanish warships in this area escaped and watched the fire spread throughout the ship.No matter how much water is poured on it, the flames will burn more and more.

[On that day, the evil dragon from the east returned to Europe with a terrible curse, which was far more terrifying than the Mongolian iron cavalry.Everyone understood that Europe seemed to be falling. 】

The Spaniards who survived the battle wrote this passage in their diaries and witnessed the beginning of a period of history.

But in the fierce battle, neither the ocean-going fleet nor the Spanish fleet can consider such far-reaching issues for the time being.

As the Spanish fleet drew closer, the ocean-going fleet began to produce more and more desperate weapons.

"To the northeast, 48 enemy ships are approaching to 500 meters!"

After receiving the report from the lookout, the captain of the Hanzhong, Shen Baiyun, immediately gave the order.

"Release the torpedo!"

On the side of the Hanzhong, the covers of five large tubes were opened, and several huge bombs were thrown into the water.

Immediately, violent waves rolled out of the water, pushing the bomb towards the approaching Spanish fleet.

But the Spaniards didn't pay attention to the water, they were still excited to get closer to the ocean-going fleet!
