Chapter 2460: The rocket bombed the admiral
Until now, the first thing to break the deadlock was the Chinese army on both sides. The Chinese became more brave as they fought. Under their pursuit, the French were the first to be able to hold it.
Speaking of which, the French are very keen on naval battles against the Chinese. They sent eight battleships to participate in the war. They are the most battleships among the non-navy powers in Europe.
This is to fight heathens, send them to hell, and please God!
France has a strong religious atmosphere, deeply believes in Catholicism, and is known as the "eldest daughter of God" to show its piety.
Having said that, for European hegemony, during the Thirty Years’ War, the French supported the Protestant princes in the Holy Roman Empire against Catholic Austria, and also supported the Protestant Dutch independence from Catholic Spain, thus severely weakening the power of Catholicism. !
It can be seen that, for profit, the French betrayed the Catholic brothers without any ambiguity.
Nowadays, when dealing with the pagans from the East, the French have a higher heart and a thinner technique than paper!
Now in 1666, in the early days of the reign of King Louis XIV in France (Louis XIV was enthroned in 1643, and did not take power until 1661), the French Navy is in a rising stage, its sailor training system is backward, and its combat experience is very poor. In addition, the French's consistent freedom and looseness led to very low combat effectiveness. At that time, the French naval operations focused on "protection of the ship". After warships were damaged, they put repairs in the first place, thus forming a habit of neglecting warfare. .
At first, the French were pretty reliable. Although they were not as skilled as others, they were beaten up by the spanking, but they were still fighting.
But after fighting, the courage gradually dissipated. I saw heavy casualties and the battleship being beaten to pieces. The starboard side of the French ship "Excellence" entered the water and tilted sharply. Although the crew was drained urgently, it could only barely maintain it. , So the ship first withdrew from the battlefield!
The condition of the remaining French ships was not much better. The French commander Admiral Tran de Compos personally believed that he had done enough for Christ, and others were beyond reproach, so he ordered all his crew to retreat!
Uh, dizzy, a certain ship of yours really can’t get away, and others don’t say much, but your entire fleet is running in a structured way, and you don’t even leave a representative behind. This is undoubtedly to other people who are still fighting. It had a bad influence.
You can run, why should I risk fighting against powerful enemies?
Therefore, when the eight French battleships left the battlefield, six battleships from the Holy Roman Empire, Sweden, and Denmark left the battlefield one after another. It is necessary to know that there are only ten battleships in the miscellaneous army except France!
Then, the Free Dutchman also had four battleships withdrawn from combat.
The British did not have a battleship out of the team, and Spain and Portugal had one battleship out of the team.
The British are stubborn and tough. In fact, some of their battleships seem to have been demolished. In Spain and Portugal, the captains are afraid of military law. After all, the kingship of the two countries is still very strong.
The European Whiteskin dispatched a total of 139 battleships, and one ship has not sunk until now. However, a full 20 battleships have withdrawn from combat. Although the fighting was excessively tragic, the predicament of its military orders was not unified. Nominally, The commander-in-chief Lierva Don Chatenefer has no power to dispose of the warriors of other countries at all, and it is no wonder that they ran as they wanted.
Nowadays, although many battleships of the South China Fleet are heavily wounded, only three battleships withdrew due to serious injuries. The number of battleships in the battle is 146. It will continue to fight against the 119 battleships of the white skin. The skins know great!
The masters on the South China battleship are like clouds. Seeing that the army is dominant, how can they kill the baby.
Forgetting fatigue and not afraid of sacrifice, the body of the South China Army in Gu Jing's brain seems to be injected with endless strength, shooting desperately, making the white skins more stressed!
The shells hurriedly and violently fell on the white-skinned warship, and the loss of its hull and personnel soared, and the white-skin was beaten to the sky.
A loud noise in the fierce battle shook the sea and the sky, making all the shelling and noise all silent.
A large Spanish ship, the second-class battleship "Santiago" exploded violently, and a huge plume of smoke went straight for kilometers!
This is the gunpowder depot being hit. The gunpowder broke the material and exploded the surrounding white skin. The flames spread in all directions. A terrible hole appeared on the starboard side, and sea water was poured in quickly.
The sailors on the ship jumped anxiously, and many people rushed to the rift, hoping to save its fate.
They took wood, blankets, and putty to deal with the damage pipes, but the loopholes were too big. The sea water rushed into the ship's hull. In just three minutes, the bottom and cargo holds were filled with seawater, under the weight of the seawater. , The lower gun deck was also flooded...
Seeing that the situation is over, the captain of the "San Diego" issued an order to abandon the ship. The sailors threw into the sea one after another, shouting desperately, looking forward to the rescue of the friendly ship. It was extremely miserable.
The rest of the white-skinned ships were also uncomfortable. The Chinese had 27 more battleships than them, and they were pressed like a mound, making them immobile.
However, when the situation of the Chinese was very good, eight British battleships led by the flagship "Prince Royal", along the battle line, found the South China Fleet's flagship Imperial-class battleship "02", and then these eight The battleship left the battle line, in a semicircular shape, and the center of the circle was the battleship "02".
The distance is three to four hundred meters. For such a "long" distance, it is generally inaccurate to bombard with shells. What does Baipi want to do?
Suddenly, the British battleships rose into white smoke and made a sharp howling. Rockets soared up, dragging the red flames, and howling down to the battleship "02"!
This is a rocket!
In order to win the war, the British invented a rocket, which weighs 13 kilograms, is one meter long, and has a diameter of 0.1 meter. It is equipped with a 4-meter-long balance pole with a range of 1,500 meters. The blasting warhead has the remarkable characteristics of fast fire rate, long range and flexibility.
Dozens of hundreds of rockets fell and exploded together, blowing up all the personnel on the open deck of the incredible battleship "02". Admiral Yan Donglai also fell in a pool of blood, and some people were blown up. Falling into the sea, the flames arose on the ship and spread quickly!
Suddenly, both the enemy and us were shocked!
The white skins uttered bursts of cheers, UU reading www.uukānshu.com and the Chinese were in a state of confusion.
The British then launched a rocket attack on the nearby South China battleships, which exploded after hitting, and then flames ignited on the ship, causing the Chinese to fall into chaos. For example, the "Southeast Asia 139" ship panicked in order to avoid the rockets, and "Southeast Asia 174" collided and dozens of people fell into the water! ‘
More and more South China battleships were hit by rockets. In particular, the three battleships were paralyzed at sea by the successive rockets and turned into three large torches. The captains of the remaining battleships panicked.
In the chaos, everyone saw a large battleship, the Empire-class battleship "03", which broke away from the battleline, heading for the blank sea area in the northeast, and was about to leave the battlefield.
The ship came to China to help foreigners, and was commanded by the former British Admiral Cabot. Aha, is he trying to escape?
When the fellow sees the fellow, his eyes are full of tears. He does not want to fight the fellow, or is he persuaded?
Immediately, everyone saw the battleship "03" raising the handsome flag, and a skull flag slowly rising, and then launched nine red firework bombs!
