Chapter 84: And the benevolence of women?
The leader was destroyed, and other boats could not help slowing down. The result was even worse. After a meal of shells, they could not be intercepted, and watched the Southeast Fleet bite the main fleet of Fujian Navy and chased after it. Not in time.
The Fujian Navy, who had eaten two rounds of artillery fire before, blew up the battalion, and the ships were spread out very widely, so as not to be too crowded and incur intensive attacks from the other side.
Seeing their evacuated formation, Li Ying boldly led the fleet into the formation of the Fujian Navy.
So, there are enemy ships on both sides, and the Kaohsiung ship’s starboard and starboard fires are fully fired. Although the Fujian Navy can leave, the Kaohsiung ship still maintains a very high hit rate. As long as the gun is fired, almost all hits.
The gunfire attacked, and the Fujian Navy was beaten to pieces.
"Training has yielded results!" The same is true for other warships. The laughter and laughter that erupted were mixed with Dutch and English. Many foreigners participated in the war, and even commanded warship operations as a captain.
When the Fujian Navy gathered the warships, the Southeast Fleet was already sailing, ran to the front and turned again, and came back to shelling again.
In this way, after the Fujian Navy left Penghu, he endured the enemy’s continuous shelling and was sunk five ships (the battle during the sailing period, if it was not a very intensive attack, it would be more difficult to sink the opponent), and half of the ships were attacked. More or less they were hit, and even Yu Zigao's flagship suffered a near-missing bullet, but there were no casualties.
There were less than 500 casualties, which is not worth mentioning for the more than 20,000 troops.
It is conceivable that the lethality of warships in the early days of the sailing period was still inferior, and the firepower output was insufficient, and it was necessary to build larger warships to go into battle.
The effect of guerrilla warfare may be better if it is carried out as soon as the war starts. Now even if Li Ying leads the cruise fleet to his best, he still cannot prevent the opponent from approaching the coast of Taiwan.
There were not many casualties, and it was a great blow to the morale of many officers and soldiers. The ships of the Southeast Fleet had fierce firepower, so how could it be dealt with?
But it also aroused the ferocity of some officers and soldiers. If they were to land, or if they caught a battleship from the Southeast Palace, the baby would be killed.
The rumbling of the artillery suddenly fell silent, and the Southeastern Clippers made a round and stopped turning, leaving the battle and heading for the mainland of Taiwan.
The tense nerves of the officers and soldiers of the Fujian Navy loosened up. The opponent played this way. Unless he stayed in a hard fight, he might be able to deal with them, but time would not allow it.
"Look!" Everyone looked to the east in surprise, and the coastline was in sight.
A little closer, they saw the two huge ships on the sea and the huge fleet behind them, and they couldn't help being shocked. Many people thought of fleeing and returning!
...
The sun is rising high, the rays of the sky are endless, and the light in the water is changing and magnificent, setting off the murderous battlefield on the sea.
On the surface of North Harbor, Yan Changwu, the governor of the Southeast Government, dispatched and led two third-tier battleships, four fifth-tier battleships, two Spanish galleons, and six modified Taifu ships as the second strike group.
There are also two hundred water boats, ferry boats, black boats, bird boats, etc., as the third strike group.
All the warriors are dispatched, and all who can come can come. The total force has reached 30,000!
Among them, the artillery of the second strike group is as high as 70*2+44*4+30*2+16*6=472. The first strike group has already joined it. This strike group has 28*16=448 guns, totaling 920 guns. Artillery, the number of artillery on one side is as high as 460!
water boats, ferry boats, black boats, bird boats, etc., except for marines, many of them are from fishermen origin, and sailing is not a problem. Almost all the combatants above have a flintlock!
"When you see the enemy, shoot!" That's what the above said.
Thanks to the previous investment, the flintlock factory built by Yan Changwu also showed the aura of "infrastructure madness". The workers worked in three shifts and produced a thousand flintlocks a month with a terrifying speed of assault for five consecutive months. Yes, tens of thousands of flintlocks have been produced!
was so armed, everyone stood with guns and stood up courageously.
Musketeers are really good. As long as you have a musketeer and send it to an individual, you can get a qualified musketeer within a month, because the shooting process is too simple.
In contrast, archers need to focus on both eyesight and arm strength. Those nomads start shooting from a young age to have grown-up archers. Musketeers are easy to come by, and children can shoot pistols.
The propaganda is very home (the characteristics of the country brought by Yan Changwu), everyone knows that the government on the other side is malicious, we are working here, they want to take the fruits of our labor, and they want us to have a good life!
To be honest, life in Southeast Mansion is still pretty good. . . Yan Dalongtou only receives 20% of the land income and one month's corvee. The land belongs to him, and the government is also his. There is no bullying to the people. There is no such good place in the world, only the Southeast Mansion!
Many officials are polite, saying that they love the people like their children, but in fact they invade the people like hatred.
Yan Dalongtou does what he says, and if he can’t say that he can’t agree with the people, he really doesn’t agree with the people (except for war). . . This is inevitable, otherwise would it not be for nothing!
He gave the people a little light, but the people returned him ten percent of their enthusiasm. After hearing that the officers and the army were coming to take the local area, the people were shocked. They worked hard and showed the aura of "infrastructure madman". They were also active in the army. Almost no one Avoid the levy order and go to the battlefield when you call it!
The same hatred, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, all the people are soldiers, waiting to send the invading officers and soldiers into the Dragon Palace to serve as servants! (Are there so many dragon girls in the Dragon Palace?)
Because of this situation, Yan Changwu is also working hard to shoulder the responsibility on himself, trying to reduce the casualties of his own people.
In the face of the Fujian Navy, his two large ships can be placed like this: one is like he is now, put up a dignified battle to meet the enemy. The second is to put the big ship away and attack the official army when it reaches a certain level.
Each has its own advantages. While the first method can deter the enemy, it can attract a lot of firepower from the beginning, so it is dangerous to itself, but the danger to the people participating in the war is reduced. The second method is to increase the danger of the people participating in the war and increase the chance of victory.
Many people think that the big ship needs to be used on the blade, but Yan Changwu resisted all opinions and used the big ship at the beginning of the decisive battle.
Some people secretly laughed at him as "pedantic and feminine", but they have to admit that such a leader can trust him!
Fortunately, he set up the Intelligence Bureau, showing a great role in safeguarding his own political power. Otherwise, it is possible that some guys will think that they shouldn't.
...
The large and small fleets are neatly formed and the flags are flying.
On the raised platform behind the "Southeast Mansion" ship, Yan Changwu's eyes slowly swept across the vast sea. Seeing the enemy ship slaying, the warships gathered behind him, only to be ordered by him to fight, a kind of history is in my mind. A sense of heroism in his hand spontaneously arises.
Looking around the officers on the left and right, everyone is excited, but the Chief of Staff Mr. David beside him has a calm face. After all, he is already an uncle in his thirties and has seen the world. And like Yan Changwu and his like, even admirals, captains, and officers, most of them are young.
Yan Changwu took out a saber and waved forward, adding his own momentum and saying: "Go to war!"
