The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 319 Minghe Naval Battle ([-])

The rockets of this era have a short range and poor accuracy, requiring the operator to row a small boat and operate close to the face to hit.

There are a lot of shortcomings!

But the advantages are equally obvious!

No matter how big the warship is or how thick the side panels are, as long as you are hit by a rocket, it depends on the charge of the rocket of this era.

After three or five shots, I have to sink into the sea to feed the Dragon King!
call out!Whoosh!Whoosh!

As a large number of small boats approached the Dutch warship, the sound of "swoosh" resounded throughout the sea.

The rockets dragged a long tail flame and fell towards the Dutch warship.

In order to be able to adapt to naval battles and cause maximum damage to the Dutch warships, the Liberation Army modified the rockets used in naval battles.

At the head of the rocket, a sharp tapered guide rod is added.

The material of the guide rod is made of steel, and the weight is very heavy!

This design can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

One is that after installing the guide rod, the overall rocket is top-heavy and the trajectory will be very stable.

The second is that after the rocket hits the Dutch warship, there is a tapered guide rod, so that the rocket will not be bounced off and fall into the sea.

Instead, they will slam into their boats.

Then let the rocket explode close to the face, causing the greatest damage to the Dutch warship.

A rocket hit the Dutchman's sideboard, and the fire rope burned out.

Boom!
The warhead of the rocket exploded, and the flames spread rapidly with the shock wave.

The shock wave tore the side of the Dutch sailing battleship!

A large opening was made in the side of the Dutch sailing battleship, and many Dutch soldiers and sailors fell out of this gap and fell into the sea water.

Next, the sound of explosions continued to ring out one after another!
Boom!Boom!
With the sound of explosions, several Dutch battleships disintegrated.

The gunpowder in the cabin was ignited and exploded, and the solid sailing battleship turned into pieces of wood floating on the sea.

On the Dutch flagship Santa Maria, Commander Raymond stared blankly at the scene at sea, only feeling his head buzzing.

"Oh my God!"

"What kind of tactic is this?"

"Those quick-firing cannonballs with trailing flames from the Ming Dynasty are simply weapons of the devil!"

"How could this be? It's a sailing battleship. How could it be sunk so easily?!"

"God, God please tell us what to do, Ming's weapons are simply terrible!"

"..."

The other Dutch people around Raymond let out exclamations.

They were stunned by the rocket and speedboat assault tactics of the Ming army, which they had never seen before!

Lei Ming shouted loudly.

"Hold on, don't panic!"

"Ming's tactics and weapons are nothing to be afraid of. We have hundreds of ships, and they can't defeat us!"

"Warriors of the United Provinces, please show your courage and beat those yellow-skinned monkeys!"

Under the appeasement of Commander Raymond, the Dutch quickly regained their composure.

Continue to command the battle according to the line tactics of the sail battleship!
The Dutch can be called sea coachmen, and their qualities in all aspects are not blown out.

Coupled with the natural rough nerves of sailors who make a living at sea, the Dutch quickly recovered from the shock caused by the Ming army's rocket and speedboat assault tactics.

The fight continues!

……

When Lin Awu and others saw many large Dutch ships being sunk by them, they couldn't help cheering.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"..."

After the Ming army's small boat fired the rockets on the boat, it quickly rowed the small boat back to its own fleet to reload.

During this process, the Dutch shelling never stopped!
However, as the distance between the two sides became farther and farther away, and the thick smoke filled the battlefield, the accuracy of the Dutch's shelling was very low.

It didn't cause too many casualties to the small boats of the Ming army!
……

Holding the binoculars in his hand, Zhu Hongyu looked at the Dutch battleships on the battlefield that either simply disintegrated or slowly sank after being martyred.

Heaved a sigh of relief!
This is the first time rockets have been used in naval warfare!

The weapons are novel, the tactics are novel, and even the soldiers who operate them are recruits with little war experience...

It is impossible to say that Zhu Hongyu is not nervous!
Fortunately, it turned out to be good!
A rocket boat raid sank several Dutch battleships.

It fully demonstrates the power and practicality of the rocket and speedboat raid tactics of the Ming army!
The results of the rocket and speedboat raid this time alone are even more brilliant than the results of the battleships' bombardment for a long time!
"Hahaha, I am a mighty soldier of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Hongyu patted the railing and let out bursts of hearty laughter.

Zheng Chenggong on the side was also full of admiration, but at the same time, he just felt a little scared.

All he wanted to say now was that fortunately he had nothing against Daming.

Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!

Zheng Chenggong couldn't think of a way to deal with this kind of rocket and speedboat assault tactics.

Seeing that the Dutch battleship was sunk and destroyed, the morale of the Ming fleet reached its peak.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"Long live His Royal Highness Jian Guo!"

"..."

The sailors and sailors of the Ming army cheered unceasingly.

At this time, the heavy artillery of both sides was still roaring.

The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and the shells continued to bombard each other.

However, as the distance got closer, the hit rate of the shells began to gradually increase.

Just as Zhu Hongyu patted the railing and laughed triumphantly, a shell flew over and hit the side panels of Zhu Hongyu and Zheng Chenggong's ship heavily.

Fortunately, this ship is very strong, even if it was hit by a shell, there was no major damage.

The strong side plate was smashed into a pit the size of a human head by the shell, and the shell was embedded in the pit. It can only be said that it was fortunate that no hole was formed.

But driven by the terrifying kinetic energy carried by the shells, Zhu Hongyu's ship swayed violently from side to side.

Caught off guard, Zhu Hongyu staggered and almost fell.

"Riding on a horse!"

Zhu Hongyu, who was supported by the guards, became a little annoyed, broke free from the support of the guards, and shouted orders.

"Whoever rides the horse, order the whole army to fight back, to fight back against the orphan!"

"Use all flowering bombs, aim at the Dutch fleet commander's ship, and give Gu a hard hit!"

Zheng Chenggong also had a very ugly face.

One must know that Zhu Hongyu and his ship are not at the front.

Can be hit by shells, luck can be said to be extremely bad!
In this era when feudal superstition is politically correct, it is not a good omen for one's own commander's ship to be hit by enemy shells.

Zheng Chenggong, who was deeply poisoned by feudal superstition, thought so!

boom!Boom!

In the next moment, the naval guns of the Ming army continued to roar!
The target was aimed at the Dutch flagship Santa Maria!

One after another, the bombs shot towards the Santa Maria as if they didn't need money.

A large number of shells were shot into the air and fell into the sea water. Apart from the formation of water columns and large waves on the sea surface, there was no other effect.

But a few shells also hit the Dutch flagship!
The hit rate is about three to four percent, that is, out of a hundred shells, only three or four can hit the enemy.

With a distance of several hundred meters and a [-]% hit rate, if it were placed on land, Zhu Hongyu would be so angry that he would order the gunners to be cut off!

But now it is a naval battle at sea!
There are too many objective factors affecting the accuracy of shelling!

To have this [-]% hit rate is already quite impressive.
