The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

　　The shell quickly zoomed in in front of Yang Lujun and exploded on the deck of the bird ship that rushed forward.

　　Birdship is a small fast sea boat of the Fu ship type. With a length of 10 meters and a width of 3.4 meters, the bird boat is a fast-attack ship that is more commonly used and has a large number.

This cannon actually made it impossible to move. The second cannon that followed fired with a muffled sound. It exploded from the open deck. The sawdust was splashed. Because the ship was small, it exploded a big hole. There were two people nearby. Fell into the sea!

The deputy captain who commanded the Kaohsiung No. 1 was called Yan Donglai (the Yan family again). He was young, but he already had a few brushes. The shells fired by the second artillery he controlled passed through the birdship. The first bullet hole went into the cabin of the enemy bird ship! (There are two ways of artillery. One is the control of the gunners of each battery, which is often carried out in chaotic battles, and the other is to fire one by one by the deputy captain or artillery officer on the gun deck.)

　　 is simply a miracle! At least a dozen watchpoints on the six Kaohsiung ships saw this magical blow through their telescopes, and immediately burst into fanatic cheers: "Mazu bless you!" "Our army will win!"

　　 Soon, the six Kaohsiung ships were full of screams, and everyone was overjoyed.

　　 I have to say that Kaohsiung No. 1’s bombardment was extremely accurate. Only one of the nine 12-pounder artillery pieces was missed, but it also caused a near-missing bullet, and a large group of water splashed on the bird boat.

　　 All 8 shells landed on the poor bird boat, and it immediately went sideways and lost its ability to move.

　　 The incoming artillery shells landed on the Yang Lu battle ship group, and the roaring sound of the artillery shells, the crashing sound and the exclamation of people echoed on the sea, and their ships were shot one after another!

　　 Although they pushed forward hard, they were not easy to drive against the wind and they were also attacked by artillery shells, which made it difficult for the Yang Lu fleet to move.

　　 Then Beigang No. 123 arrived and joined the artillery ensemble,

Within a distance of three hundred meters, nine gunboats launched a second round of side salvos. From the bow to the stern of the guns, the guns blasted into the sky, and a large cloud of white gunpowder smoke floated from the sides of the ship. , And then blown away by the sea breeze, without affecting the vision.

　　The left forward itch Chen San's teeth with hatred, and the opposing gunboat turned its sails so that it was no longer affected by the wind, occupying the upper wind, and the artillery bombarded them unscrupulously!

　　 He commanded a Chinese military ship and a Chaozhou red-headed sea ship rushing forward, and fired a counterattack!

　　 However, their salvo failed to hit any of the Southeast Mansion warships, and watched the shells hit the plane.

Aha, the gunboats during the sailing period are greatly affected by the ship position related to the wind direction. It is difficult for the windward ships to open the lower artillery doors. This is especially true for the large ships on the three-layer gun deck, and the downwind ships’ gun positions. Better (the side they were facing was raised by the wind).

　　 But! Cannonballs fired from the leeward position are easy to shoot high, pointing to the rigging, which is a sieve. Whether it hits or not depends on luck, especially when the chain bullets and lever bullets that destroy the rigging are not used, the cannonballs hit a lot of air.

　　The shells fired from the upwind position will shoot low and hit the hull hull. Therefore, it is the strategic purpose that determines the position of the ship in the battle, and even the outcome of the battle.

　　The Chinese military ship and the red-headed sea ship immediately caused a concentrated bombardment of the Southeast Mansion warships!

　　 The gunpowder was filled with smoke, and a series of shells hit the Chinese military ship and the red-headed sea ship, causing continuous damage to the hull and personnel operations.

　　 Because of the position of the upper wind, it was almost "fist to the flesh", and it seemed that the walls of the two attacked ships were riddled with holes. Holes were opened everywhere, and every hit was a tremor.

　　 Under the fierce attack, the plates of several hulls of the two ships collapsed and the conditions were miserable.

　　 Their counterattack is getting weaker and weaker, and the artillery is dumb.

　　 However, they attracted the attack from the opponent's gun deck, and the boat behind was bravely approaching the Southeast Mansion warship!

　　 100 meters away!

　　Yang Lujun was still fighting very hard. They tried their best to steer the ship and pulled in a little bit from the Southeast Mansion warship.

　　 Closer, the boat can set fire to those warships!

　　 However, another burst of shelling made their hopes vanished!

　　 The deck guns on 9 warships fired!

　　 Multiple small caliber guns on the open deck of the warship fired together, sweeping the rushing boat!

　　 "Hahaha, he's so cool!" Yan Changwu personally manipulated a small cannon to fire, and landed on a small boat to make a hole.

　　The continuous shelling stopped Yang Lujun’s boat from advancing, and there was no way to fight back.

　　 Further forward, platoons of guns were erected on the Southeast Mansion warships, and they all shot at the people on the boats. Several small boats were on fire, but they could not ignite the opposing warship.

　　 The arson ship is the most powerful one to go upwind. It is quite difficult to burn the enemy ship against the wind.

　　 The upper and lower second-tier artillery groups of the Southeast Mansion warship bombarded Yang Lujun’s fleet mercilessly, leaving them helpless to fight back.

　　 "How many minutes?" Peter Poznan asked Van Rosmalen on the Dutch ship.

　　 "Almost two minutes!" Van Ross Mullen looked at the clock while counting: "Three shells were shot in six minutes!"

　　 "It's not slow!" Pete Poznan sighed. The British could bombard at a rate of almost one round per minute, which the Dutch couldn't do, and the artillery bombing rate of the Southeast Mansion was comparable to that of the Dutch.

　　 What's more rare is that the opponent's hit rate is quite high, and such a strong combat power ~www.readwn.com~ surprised Pete Poznan.

You must know that the "hundred-year navy" is by no means empty words. The birth of a powerful naval fleet does not know how many trials and hardships it took to be formed. It may be used after a few minutes of playing, but the sail control alone on the sail battleship is complicated enough!

　　 If you want to bombard accurately, you have to spend a huge amount of military expenses: sea expenses, ammunition expenses, artillery depreciation, personnel expenses, which are piled up with silver dollars.

　　 Pete Poznan knew something about the Southeast Palace, but it was just a combination formed by the rabble shortly before, and I didn't expect that their fleet combat capabilities were not weak.

　　 played so beautifully, it was a textbook attack!

　　 Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu, who were still in the back, had extremely ugly faces, "What to do?" Yang Lu lost his opinion and asked Xu Xinsu anxiously.

　　 Xu Xinsu persuaded, took a few breaths and said: "Retreat!"

　　 So Yang Lu ordered that the fleet immediately spread its sails, let the sails gain the upper hand, and retreated straight to Xiamen Port.

　　 The Southeast Mansion warship that was bombarding Yang Lu's forward noticed it, and started the sail to catch the wind, its bow swung, and pursued Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu.

　　 Yang Lu's striker had already fallen, the largest Chinese military ship capsized, the red-headed ocean ship flooded onto the deck, and the other boats caught fire or sank and lost their combat effectiveness.

　　 When the Southeast Mansion warship passed by them, they fired volleys and killed the pirates who were still on the ship and in the sea!

　　 "Shoot!" Yan Changwu yelled, while Storm shrugged and did not object.

　　 They are generally people who don’t fall into the water, but considering that the marines on the ship need to see blood, let them shoot!

　　 dies and falls, who told them to oppose us!
