The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 1808: Upwind vs. Downwind

As time went by, the battle lines on both sides gradually became parallel, and they continued to bombard each other. The second-tier battleship "Mogadishu" was in the leading position and suffered fierce shelling from the opponent, and its masts were wounded. Many officers and soldiers were killed and injured, but the situation is not serious.

In fact, the "Mogadishu" attacked the enemy with port guns. All the port gun muzzles were spraying flames. After the gunner was killed and wounded, he immediately filled it up. The guns were damaged and dragged over the starboard guns. All actions Speed, so the firepower of the "Mogadishu" is always undiminished, pouring shells at the enemy ships, let them taste the power of the Eastern second-class battleship.

The luck of the "Alps" of the Portuguese fleet was too bad. During the battle with the "Mogadishu", it was hit by heavy artillery, the artillery was destroyed, and many bulwarks were destroyed, exposing a large part of the cabin. The personnel inside fell to the ground. The shape is miserable!

Seeing this situation, Portuguese Admiral Jervis sighed secretly.

The ship of the "Alps" is too old, and the hull has suffered a lot of damage during years of wind and waves, so that the structure is unstable. The opponent's shelling is very strong, and Jervis, who has many years of experience, heard the opponent's artillery. The charge is sufficient, the power of gunpowder is great, and the shells hit the bulwark of the ship with full destructive power.

The shelling on all the Chinese warships was very powerful, and they fought fast. Jervis counted it silently: generally one shell was fired every minute!

The Portuguese gunner did his best to suckle, and it only came in one to two minutes. So when the speed was slow, the two ships met, and the Portuguese battleship fired one round of shells at the enemy. The second round came. The round will disrupt the deployment of the Portuguese battleships, so that the power is seriously weakened.

The stronger the opponent is, the loss is not small!

The battle position of the opposing leader's ship is being adjusted, but it always maintains the upper hand.

"Grab the upper hand!" Jervis's heart trembled, thinking, "No wonder that the Chinese are the apprentices of the British, it's not bad at all!"

When the British were fighting at sea, the entire fleet was determined to seize the upper wind. Seizing the upper wind was equivalent to letting God be the captain of the supervising team. In this way, after the upper wind was lined up, God bulged his mouth to supervise the battle. , To blow the warship to the enemy’s muzzle, the captains couldn’t even take the enemy. Now that you know you can't run away, everyone should let go and fight to the death.

Britain's ability to become a rising star in the maritime hegemony and defeat the previous overlords has a lot to do with them fighting for the upper hand.

Therefore, other white skins are afraid of fighting with the British. To seize the upper hand is not to die. British navy captains usually strictly require lower-level officers and sailors to carefully train combat skills in order to defeat the enemy first in battle. For a long time, the combat effectiveness has been trained in this way.

The Chinese are obviously the apprentices of the British. They have done a good job of artillery, and they have the upper hand, just like another John Bull!

"Damn it, **** it!" Jervis cursed. He knew that things were difficult to handle. People were so fierce and there were so many people. How could they fight? !

The little Spanish Admiral Lilva, who is further away, has a pale face. He knows that the opponent is great!

The Chinese artillery fire was fierce. The blind commander standing on the head ship was dressed like a pirate. He had a blindfold on one eye and a rod. Without a hand, he raised his hand as a thunderbolt. The battleship smashed into pieces and the personnel screamed.

Baipi fired at him, but he was not harmed at all, his body was always tall and straight in the smoke of gunpowder.

"Hahaha, they can't hit me!" Cheng Yu triumphantly said to the adjutant next to him, Kong Yixing, but did not reply.

He turned his head and saw that Kong Yixing fell on the deck. He was hit by a bullet and pierced his right chest armor. Blood suddenly appeared from the wound. His voice was weak and said: "They hit me. !"

Ah oh!

Cheng Yu had to yell: "hygieneman," let the hygienist drag him down the cabin for medical treatment.

Ten minutes later, Kong Yixing returned to his side. This guy was fateful and his wound seemed scary, but it was just a skin wound, and it was all right after a bandage.

The battle was fierce. Twelve of the Marines guarding Cheng Yu fell, and the rest continued to stand in front of Cheng Yu and act as a physical shield.

Six hours after the two fleets found each other for the first time (around 15:00), the Chinese were able to bombard the white-skin fleet as much as they could because they seized the upper air, and the white-skinned fleet was not to be outdone, and the battle with the Chinese soon Evolved into a confrontation between two battle lines

.

Due to the downwind, the tactics adopted by the Whiteskins were to concentrate on attacking the masts and rigging of Chinese ships in order to achieve the purpose of weakening the opponent's mobility.

It has to be said that the white-skinned gunner’s skill is high and he has repeatedly hit. The masts on the "Southeast Asia 23" and "Southeast Asia 49" at the front of the Chinese battle line have been damaged extensively, so that they have become "light birds". ", had to withdraw from the battle line.

The captain Liu Zhongfan of the "Southeast Asia 23" watched the bare three masts on his warship crying without tears. He had no choice but to withdraw early. This made the young captain who wanted to flex his muscles very upset. The Marine Captain Ma Jinze next to him was very upset. Comforted him: "We played well!"

"Not bad?!" Liu Zhongfan was puzzled.

"None of us died, isn't it good!" Ma Jin said solemnly.

"It's a good thing, but our task is to kill the enemy. If we didn't kill the enemy, the task was not completed!" Liu Zhongfan said helplessly.

At this time, the number of Chinese warships participating in the war was 60. The flagship did not participate in the war. The battleships participating in the war were severely damaged. Although not as severe as the No. 23 and No. 49 ships, the entire Chinese forward fleet almost lost its combat effectiveness---speed and speed. Not up.

The damage situation on both sides has been turned upside down. The Chinese have hardly died of a few people, the Two Yat Fleet has suffered some casualties, and the sails have not been damaged.

At this time, the remaining forty battleships of the Chinese also joined the battle line to fill up the damaged battleships. They still rushed to fight, but the firepower was even stronger!

In the summit showdown, the Chinese battleship "Imperial" and the Spanish battleship "Immaculate Conception" faced off. The Spaniard's nerves were greatly affected, because the opponent's artillery fire was like a thunderstorm. Then, round after round of artillery fire resembled gusts of wind and thunder and hit the enemy ship's hull hard.

An average of eight rounds per shot reached seven minutes, blasting the "Immaculate Conception" and causing heavy casualties, so that their goal of attacking the other's sails was completely defeated.

The Spanish fire is like a weak chicken~lightnovelpub.net~ as miserable as a little girl being beaten by a big guy!

The Chinese fleet has a complete training system, including daily exercises, fleet competitions, and sending the best gunners to the flagships. They give full play to their skills and immediately dwarf the Spanish gunners.

The Spanish battleship on the "Imperial" was hit by a ship, and the result of the bombardment with the "Imperial" was that they were not "ship-like". Due to the impact of the bombardment, the Spanish gunners missed their heads so much. Failed to get rid of the sails on the "Empire".

Moreover, the Empire is tall and uses shotguns to wash the opponent's open deck. The white leathers have poor protective gear and are difficult to resist.

Yan Changwu commanded the battle, and his instructions were fully implemented. The morale of the officers and soldiers was soaring. They bombarded the enemy wildly and completely overwhelmed the enemy!

Not only that, the officers and soldiers of each ship were very vigorous, and the enemy complained incessantly.

The leader boarded the ship, under the halo, it was really not imaginary!
