I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 598: Tacit agreement

Both sides are interested in a quick battle, and the scene is a dry fire, which burns at a single point.

The two sides quickly approached, the Chinese army still maintained a slightly dominant angle, and the Portuguese could also accept it.

Immediately afterwards, there was another boring artillery battle.

Most of the battles after hand-to-hand combat are in this mode.

Jumping to help fight, has been eliminated decades ago.

As for other fireboat attacks, the Portuguese were also prepared.

But looking at the speed of the Dahua Navy, they gave up those fire boat attacks.

Because their fireboat can't catch up.

"The port side was shot into the water and it was blocked."

The Yangzhou was very unlucky. The ship’s side was shot continuously, the ship’s side broke, and the hull began to flood.

Basically, being beaten like this is hopeless.

The water resistance of the current ship is still very poor, unlike the later warships, they can continue to fight as if they have received thousands of tons of water.

The sinking of the Yangzhou is already a matter of time. What the people on board have to do is to delay the process as much as possible.

Before sinking, fire as many shots as possible.

As the order was issued, some sailors descended into the cabin with the repair materials, then nailed new boards in the gaps and painted them with waterproof tung oil.

However, this can only play a delaying role.

Under the pressure of seawater, this wound will certainly not last long. The seawater will penetrate first, and then continue to destroy the wound, and finally a large amount of seawater will flood in.

Yangzhou continued to fight back while remedying it.

All the artillery on the ship fired, and some artillery with a bad angle also shot out the shells.

Anyway, if you don't get out early, you won't be able to save anything if the ship sinks.

Now, although they are basically lonely, they can scare the enemy.

Maybe, one or two will get lucky.

After all, the angle is not enough. In theory, both sides are moving with each other, and it is not surprising that something happens.

The Chinese army was fully fired, and the Portuguese fleet suffered instantly.

Nowadays, at a close distance, a large number of shells fell on their ship, and the exploded shrapnel filled the entire deck and gun emplacements.

Many skilled gunners were stewed in a pot, and no one could use the next cannon.

Some soldiers who could not bear this kind of pressure simply jumped into the sea, or hid in the cabin and shivered.

In the beginning, the Portuguese was able to compete with Dahua, but after a few rounds, the sound of artillery on the Portuguese ship became thinner.

Those soldiers were either killed or went into hiding.

This can be quite terrible, which means that they are getting weaker and weaker, and the damage to Dahua will be less and less.

After noticing this situation, Menges frowned. This naval battle was more difficult to fight than imagined.

The Hua Army is not only faster than them, but in terms of the practicability of the shells, Dahua's is also slightly better.

If you continue to fight like this, if you want to annihilate the opponent, I am afraid that your own fleet will also be scrapped.

Although the ship did not sink, the sailors and artillery on the ship were all technical talents, and they could not be used by just grabbing a farmer. It took a long time to train.

These people are dead, and it will take a long time for their fleet to recover.

Not as a last resort, Menges really didn't want to die together.

Fighting to die together is only applicable when there is only one opponent.

Now, the Portuguese always have to worry about being Spanish or British. Therefore, they need to retain a part of their power to deter opponents at any time.

Bao Shunan is even less hopeful. If they all die, the consequences will be even more serious.

Therefore, when both sides didn't really want to fight, the two sides began to have a tacit separation.

The Chinese army and the Portuguese interception fleet passed by and fired at each other.

Then, the Chinese army fleeed away, and the Portuguese fleet did not pursue it, tacitly acquiescing to the tie.

The moment they passed by, hundreds of people died on the Portuguese side, and nearly a thousand were injured. Together with some casualties from previous shelling, their total casualties in this naval battle reached more than 2,300. .

This number is very likely to exceed any naval battle of the Portuguese.

Although many ships were sunk in previous naval battles, very few people died, and people could still be saved if those ships sank.

But this time, their ship was saved, but the people suffered heavy casualties.

On the Huajun side, the loss was quite large. Both the Yangzhou and Zhenjiang suffered heavy losses and were forced to give up after leaving the battlefield.

A large amount of sea water poured into the cabin, and the whole ship has been unable to reach the shore.

In desperation, the crew had to abandon the ship.

Most of the people on board were rescued, but everything on board was gone.

Two battleships were lost, and more than a hundred people were killed or injured. The Chinese army suffered heavy losses.

Of course, in comparison, Portugal is much more miserable.

After this battle, they didn't want to use force to solve this problem anymore, and they really couldn't afford it.

Seeing that Dahua and the Portuguese died down, the British and Spaniards who watched the game were not regretful, but they hoped that both sides could fight to death.

With this result, both Dahua and Portugal still have combat power. The difficulty for them to pick up the bargain is greatly increased, and the price to be paid is too great, so they have to consider carefully.

"Leaving, it can be regarded as a lot of information collected, not in vain."

"Next, we must hurry up, and hope that those guys in the council will not delay and intervene as soon as possible to reap benefits."

After watching the good show, William and Johnson and others began to return to the voyage.

This naval battle has benefited them a lot.

At least, knowing the two new weapons and equipment, the steam engine and the howitzer, can speed up the progress of the research if there is a direction.

After the Portuguese navy returned, it quickly explained the situation to the royal family, hoping to settle this dispute through negotiation.

Continue to fight, and the end will be even worse.

Although the King of Portugal was depressed, he had no choice but to endure it when he had to swallow.

Had it not been for patience, he would have been annexed by Spain long ago.

In order to maintain independence, he gave Spain a lot of benefits.

On the one hand, maintaining a certain level of counterattack makes Spain hesitate, and on the other hand, making appropriate profit so that Spain will end up when they see it. This is how their small country survives.

Therefore, compromise has long been used to the King of Portugal.

It's shameful, and it's already gone.

Portugal and Bao Shunan conducted the second round of negotiations. This time, the person in charge has become a senior official and a member of the royal family in Portugal.

Parridge has been removed and transferred back to China.

No matter how wronged he was, in short, he did not handle the matter properly, which led to a war with Dahua. This was his fault.
