Chapter 86: The Battle of Dingding (1)
Once the battle line was formed, the Southeast Fleet used platoons of artillery to bombard the much smaller ships of the Ming army.
The training was successful, and the bombardment was powerful enough!
The warship of the Ming Army was beaten into a panic. They used the bow artillery to fight back, but it was tickle and not worth mentioning.
Because there are too few, there is only one front and back for one ship, and only one hundred for a hundred ships, while Yan Changwu’s artillery has hundreds of firepower on one side.
The battle line blasted through the artillery, and the Ming army's ships struggled to break through this chain of fire and blood, and the Ming army's ships slowed down because the "Southeast Mansion" third-tier battleship opened all its sails. Driving swiftly by the wind, it arrived in front of the Ming Army warship in a blink of an eye, and then it showed its firepower!
The ship's stern issued a firing order, "The gun body is leveled...open the cannon plug...load the ammunition...extend the muzzle...aim...fire the cannon!" Deputy Captain Yan Donglai said calmly in the gun bay.
In an instant, the sound of the cannon fired like a huge hammer hitting a stone at one-second intervals, and the long spiral smoke wafted out of the cabin. This was a burst of starboard guns. The fierce muzzle waves made the water rippling.
was very accurate. The two first smashing boats were "dismantled" to pieces. When the Southeast Fu moved away, the subsequent shelling from Taiwan sent the two smashing boats into the sea completely.
When the big ship fired, many captains and observers on the battle line of the Southeast Fleet craned their necks one by one and watched the big ship fire enviously, fighting hard enough!
Either be a captain on such a large ship, or be a gunner!
The people on the two large gun decks were noisy, but they were well organized and methodical. The gunners worked seriously on the gun positions, or hurriedly pushed the heavy artillery back into place, or stabbed/into the gun roughly with a cannon. Rub the tube back and forth.
Step by step, coordinated movements, as efficient as changing tires in an F1 car!
stretched out the muzzle and lit the fuse, "Fire!"
It's not the Han people who are talking nonsense, but the ghosts are talking nonsense. It is the deputy captain on the Kaohsiung 16th. The Englishman Kim Rook is giving orders. He yelled excitedly, yelled in half-baked Chinese, and bounced from time to time. Some nonsense. . . He is Level 4 Chinese and can speak Chinese.
In the southeast province, the number of ghosts has gradually increased. These foreigners who came to China to help fight in the southeast province seem to have smoothly integrated into the society of the southeast province. They use chopsticks very smoothly, drink country rice wine instead of wine, and can generally speak Chinese (can speak There is a subsidy of money, why can't you get along with the money?) I believe in Xiaoye too much, but there are actually some British people who learn from the Dutch and believe in Mazu. . . The boss of Gein's Southeast Mansion came from an age when the people of all ethnic groups in the world knew what Guilao was. He did not discriminate against Guilao at all, and of course he would not look up.
A ghost is very active. Under his leadership, the gunners on the gun deck fired their guns bravely. The shipboard guns fired continuously and quickly. The thick smoke flashed with purple-red flames. The gunpowder loader walked like flying, coming on the deck. Running back, sending the ammunition to the gun positions one by one, the gunners gasped for breath, the fuze was light and dark, everything proceeded step by step.
Jin Luke happily announced: "Children, our shelling speed averaged two minutes and twenty-eight seconds, two minutes and twenty-eight seconds, breaking the previous record, good work! Fire more artillery, fire the artillery, and send the enemy away. See their Sea Dragon King!"
He was extremely satisfied. Kaohsiung 16 was a new ship, and the gunners were also newly formed. At first they were clumsy, straightforward, careless, and fought together like blind men without looking at the target. When they went into battle, they were worried that they could not stand it and did not want to fight. In the real army, the artillery fired quack, fast and accurate, and I saw a sailing ship on the opposite side was sinking.
It is not only the Kaohsiung 16th ship. The crews trained by the "moon, moon, fire, water, wood, gold, gold" are all good. They don't think about anything when they move the cannon back and forth when firing the gun. They pull the chain and clean the barrel. Loading gunpowder has become a mechanical movement. Most gunners are good, and the officers are very pleased!
Kim Luke felt very deeply. He still remembered that when he trained with these gunners, they were shy and stupid, and they didn’t know where to put their hands, but they suffered hardship and were easy to learn. After training, they played very hard. Baton.
"Perhaps the gunner I trained in the future will fight against the British, and we will lose!" Kim Rook had a sudden thought in his mind, but he himself thought it was funny. Now Britain has not yet risen, and Spain has existed before. With the Netherlands and France behind, they fought openly in Europa, and it is difficult for Britain to have a major force in the Far East.
As for the main British colony overseas in India, but the Southeast is only a few places, how could it go to India and fight with us British! "
Soon he put this idea aside, because the artillery battle was fierce, and the battle was full of joy.
Daming navy Qianhu Ma Sheng yelled, and the battle line that sent Chief Chen Wenlian and Hong Yingdou into the Southeast Mansion. As long as the Southeast Mansion still maintained the battle line and there was no melee, their Ming troops would not have the possibility of fishing in troubled waters. The artillery battle ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is definitely not the opponent of Southeast Mansion.
The ideals are full, and the reality is very skinny. The Southeast Palace's ships maintained terrible obedience. None of the warships left the battle line. Even if the Ming army crossed the battle line, the two lines attacked the Southeast Fleet, but the southeast ship was on both sides. With a volley of artillery fire, the Daming Navy, who had no artillery, was extremely miserable!
But their desperate battle dragged the capital ship of the Southeast Mansion, Yu Zigao led the main force to rush to the Third Strike Group of the Southeast Mansion that was blocking them!
……
The southeast government prefers splint ships. As the main force of the third strike group is the second-hand Spanish galleon, which originally transported goods to Southeast Asia for trade. Now the two armies are fighting, temporary guest gunboats, but they can also crush the Ming army's boats!
The Spanish galleon walks very fast when the wind is downwind, and the maneuverability is poor when headwind and turning, but it can be seen that the masts are high, the bulwarks are like cities, and they are very awe-inspiring. The blastholes above are densely covered. Use it as a cannon.
Taifuku ships were also converted into gunboats, but they were equipped with guns on the open deck, with ten doors on each side, and no eyes were opened beside the ship's side to avoid damaging the hull structure.
In addition, there are also many guns installed on other sailing ships. In fact, in order to win this battle, the Southeast Government has all the guns in stock on the ship, and all the gunpowder is loaded on the ship, including the heavy artillery for shore defense. (Obtained from the Netherlands) also moved to the Spanish galleon.
"TAMADE" Yu Zigao swallowed, thinking that there are so many cannons in Southeast Mansion.
Even though the Southeast Mansion had more guns and more ships, Yu Zigao was on the battlefield, but there was no fear.
He gave an order, and twenty arson boats ignited and rushed towards the southeast palace boat array with the wind.
As long as he succeeds, the history of burning Chibi will repeat itself!
