I'm a big dick

Chapter 586
The battlefield situation is ever-changing, and no one dares to say that what is expected will definitely happen.But for a qualified commander, it is not a particularly strict requirement to be thoughtful and meticulous, and to arrange it rigorously.

Of course, to achieve multiple responses, more power must be used to plug possible loopholes.

Shen Yourong obviously achieved this, and the emperor also gave him the greatest support.

Referring to the last time the Dutch attacked Macau, the Dutch had [-] warships and [-] soldiers.Shen Yourong mobilized nearly ten times the strength, which is actually not too much.

Think about it, if you want to completely annihilate the enemy, you must besiege from all sides.

The Pearl River Estuary side can be weaker, and the other three sides may fight the Dutch head-on.Ten times the power sharing, the military power on each side is only three times that of the Dutch.

Even though Shen Yourong and the others did not expect that the Dutch only came with six warships and hundreds of soldiers, and the dispatched Ming Dynasty navy was suspected of slaughtering chickens, but it is necessary to crush with absolute strength and win a complete victory.

Moreover, Shen Yourong is well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the navy.The advantage lies in the number, whether it is ships or troops; the disadvantage is that the navy is young and lacks actual combat training.

But Shen Yourong firmly believed in victory.One is to fight at the door of the house, which has a psychological advantage; the other is that the generals are young and more aggressive, and they will not be greedy for life and fear of death when fighting.

The last point is weapons and equipment. In addition to the Hongyi cannon that is comparable to the red-haired ghost, there are also powerful Garland cannons at close range, and long-range rocket intensive bombardment.

The rockets are simple and light, and dozens of them can be deployed on the deck, which is equivalent to dozens of artillery pieces, and the rate of fire is much faster than that of the Hongyi artillery.

As for the problem of poor accuracy, quantity can be used to make up for it.And from Shen Yourong's point of view, the accuracy of the Hongyi cannon is not much better than that of rockets at long distances.

Overwhelming rocket bombardment, some explosive damage, some burning arson, quite a threat to the ship.

Many and fast, this is the rocket's advantage.Moreover, the rocket has been continuously improved, and various performance indicators have been greatly improved.

With all these things, the Ming Dynasty navy has been invincible in this battle, only looking at the final battle damage and results.

Shen Yourong and the generals hope to achieve the greatest victory with the least cost, so they want to win cleanly.

The emperor's bottom line is to win a big victory and make the navy have stronger combat power.As for the size of the battle damage, it can be regarded as experience and lessons, which are beneficial but not harmful to the growth of the young Ming navy.

Shen Yourong may have some understanding of the emperor's thoughts, because the emperor did not give too many instructions for this battle, and completely let go of the command.

But for the admirals below, they only think about winning and winning cleanly, and they don't think too deeply or too carefully.

Like Gan Hui, Hong Xu, the commander of another squadron, is leading the fleet, setting sail from Cam Ranh Bay and heading for the Pearl River Estuary.

His thoughts are the same as Gan Hui's, to beat the Hongmaoyi hard, to play the navy's prestige, and to make contributions for himself.

Young people, how can they not be aggressive and bloody.It is a pity that he is already considered a senior officer in the navy, but he has no achievements that may be made.

"Six Galen warships, the large ones each have forty cannons, and the medium ones have thirty cannons." Hong Xu picked up the latest information again, thinking about the comparison with the enemy's strength.

The Dutch Hongmaoyi have a total of more than 200 artillery pieces, and their own squadron has twice as many artillery pieces as the enemy. Coupled with rockets, they have an absolute advantage.

In other words, relying on one's own squadron alone is enough to defeat the enemy.Of course, total annihilation may be somewhat difficult.

"My lord." The staff officer came to report, "Maintain the current speed, we may engage the red-haired barbarians before the friendly forces. Please tell me whether to slow down or not."

Hong Xu thought for a while, shook his head vigorously, and said: "Keep the speed, whether it is to engage the enemy first or block the enemy's retreat, there is no room for delay."
