The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 582 The Little Horse-drawn Cart

It's just that Auburn just ordered the fleet to withdraw from the battlefield.

Then another watchman trotted over to report the news.

"Your Excellency, the fleet of the Ming army has also appeared in the west!"

Wang Wang pointed to the west, with obvious panic on his face.

Auburn also frowned subconsciously, and then asked.

"How many ships are there in the Ming fleet that appeared to the west?"

"What level of warships are they all?"

The watchman answered.

"Your Excellency Auburn, the Ming army fleet that appeared to the west has only one tier four sailing battleship."

Hearing this, Auburn no longer panicked, and ordered.

"Send the order and prepare to break out to the west immediately!"

"If the warship of the Ming army blocks the way, it will be sunk!"

If the Dutch wanted to leave the battlefield, they had to break through the encirclement before the main force of the Ming army caught up.

Once surrounded by the Ming army, things will be troublesome!

……

The Dutch fleet quickly left the battlefield and withdrew west.

However, the Dutch were able to withdraw, but the British ships simply lay in place because of damage to the canvas and masts.

Liszt watched the Dutch evacuate helplessly, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"The Dutch are gone!"

"It seems that the Ming Kingdom's fleet has appeared!"

However, before he could completely relax, he was raised by himself again.

Because, the rule set by Daming is that as long as you do not report to Daming, you will fight in the territorial waters of Daming.

Daming will fight both sides together!
And they didn't seem to report to Daming...

Liszt is a little flustered now, when Da Ming's fleet arrives, he won't fight with them too

This thing is not impossible!
With Daming's strength, these words are not just words.

The current Ming Dynasty refuses to talk about it, it does what it says, and if it says it will do it, it will really do it!
Liszt raised this question to his first mate, Lauren.

Now, the number of worried people changed from one to two!

Because, now they can't even escape!

This feeling of waiting to die in place is really difficult to deal with.

……

On the other side, the fleeing Dutch fleet met the warships of the Ming army without any surprise.

The fourth-tier sailing battleship of the Ming army saw that the Dutch were about to break through, even though the Dutch had an absolute superiority in force, they did not hesitate.

Go straight up!
The artillery bombarded, and shells flew on the battlefield.

Smoke is spreading!

Several warships of the Dutch set fire to the fourth-class sailing battleship of the Ming Army one after another.

The shells hit the hull, and sawdust splashed everywhere!

Some shells swept across the deck, sweeping away the items on the deck and the sailors.

The smell of blood came to my nostrils!

This four-tier sail battleship of the Ming army also began to fight back.

Boom!Boom!
The sound of shelling rang out one after another, with solid bullets and explosive bullets pouring firepower on the Dutch ships in turn.

Since most of the naval guns used on warships of the Ming army were rifled guns with flintlock devices, the accuracy of shelling was far superior to that of Dutch warships.

The two sides shelled each other violently!
Obviously the Dutch had more ships and more guns, but it was the Ming army that had the upper hand. …

Most of the sailors and gunners of the Dutch are experienced veterans, but the sailors and gunners of the Ming army are not bad.

Many people are old soldiers who have fought over many years of war!

War experience is also rich,

The skill of gunning is even better than that of the Dutch.

Auburn watched helplessly as a bomb fell on his warship!

The hard bullet directly tore through the hull, and the shell was embedded in the hull, and exploded with a bang in the next instant.

Firelight mixed with gunpowder smoke swept across the area!
On Auburn's ship, a big hole was opened by the flowering bullet.

Followed by a solid bullet.

The terrifying kinetic energy of the solid shell carrier smashed on the ship mercilessly.

The missile body got into the hull fiercely!
Auburn felt the intensity of the shelling by the Ming army's warships, and the expression on his face kept changing.

"This... this is impossible!"

As an experienced admiral, fleet commander.

Auburn can easily judge that the naval guns on this fourth-tier sailing battleship of the Ming army are somewhat abnormally large in caliber.

Basically all naval guns have a caliber below 32 pounds.

Generally speaking, a naval gun of this caliber is suspected of having a small horse-drawn cart on a fourth-tier sailing battleship.

It stands to reason that the hull of the fourth-tier sailing battleship cannot bear the recoil generated by the firing of the 32-pound gun.

Not to mention the situation of the Ming army, where there are so many 32 pounds on a boat and they fire at the same time.

If it was an ordinary fourth-tier sailing battleship, it would have been disintegrated by the recoil of the artillery.

However, the warships of the Ming army seemed to be almost affected.

It seems that the recoil force generated by the firing of dozens of 32-pound cannons does not exist!
"This... this warship of the Ming army is abnormal!"

Auburn said blankly.

An old face was full of unconcealable astonishment.

The reason why Auburn couldn't understand it was entirely because his thinking was limited by himself.

This four-tier sail battleship of the Ming army is not an ordinary sail battleship, but a sail battleship with iron ribs and wooden shells.

The ribs, load-bearing structure, and many important parts of this battleship are all made of steel castings.

In particular, the force relief devices used to withstand the recoil of artillery fire are all reinforced with steel castings.

Therefore, the fourth-tier sailing battleships of the Ming army can carry the naval guns of the third-tier sailing battleships.

Just as the Dutch were fighting the blocking warships of the Ming Dynasty, the main fleet of the Ming Army also caught up.

The Dutch were surrounded on the battlefield, and Ming's encirclement was still tightening bit by bit.

The gun ports on the side of the ship were opened, and the naval guns poured out firepower wantonly.

The roar of heavy artillery resounded throughout the sea!

A round of shells was fired at the Dutch warship mercilessly.

Solid shells hit the hull, sending sawdust flying.

The flames and smoke produced by the explosion of the flowering shells obscured everyone's sight.

On the current battlefield, it is basically the Dutch who are being unilaterally hammered.

On the sea not far away, on the Witney, where the white flag was raised to signify surrender, Liszt opened his mouth as he watched the battlefield over there.

"The firepower of the Ming fleet is so strong..."

Liszt said blankly.

He was shocked by the firepower of the Ming army.

On warships of the same tonnage level, the naval guns of the Ming army far surpassed the Dutch in terms of caliber, power, and range accuracy.

After the two sides met on the battlefield, it was simply a dimensionality reduction blow!
After the British surrendered, the Witney was taken over by the sailors of the Ming army, and Lister and others were all under control.

But everyone's eyes were still focused on the battlefield, watching helplessly as the warships of the Ming army beat up the Dutch.

The gun ports on the side of the Dutchman were blown out!
Even the artillery in the gun window was destroyed.
