The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 2761: Please be kind to them!

The French battleship "Pluto" is an old ship with a double-deck gun deck. It has 62 guns. It can barely be called a battleship. It is commanded by the captain Luis Enrique. He has excellent nautical and combat literacy, and has a good aristocratic demeanor.

Now that the war has been fought, the French fleet is in a dilemma, and there is a serious shortage of equipment. Because the "Pluto" is not taken seriously, the ship is only equipped with 24 18-pounder guns, 24 12-pounder guns and 14 6-pounder guns. , the firepower is very weak.

Therefore, when the Nanhua battleships "Southeast Asia 101" and "Southeast Asia 159" rushed towards it, these two "Southeast Asia" class battleships were ordinary roles in the Nanhua battleship sequence, but for the "Pluto" The "Pluto" was overwhelmed by the two behemoths.

The artillery configuration on the two "Southeast Asia" class battleships is the same: 30 32-pounder guns, 30 18-pounder guns, 16 9-pounder guns, a total of 76 artillery pieces, and well-trained first-class gunners on board.

Seeing the configuration of the enemy ship, Luis Enrique knew that the "Pluto" had no chance of winning. He commanded the warship to fight and retreat, trying to increase the speed to get rid of the pursuit of the Nanhua ship.

He checked the direction of the wind and kept giving orders. However, the warship was old and the officers and soldiers were not trained enough to increase the speed. The "Luto" immediately fell down.

The battleship immediately turned into hell. The shouts, howls, and groans shook Luis Enrique's heart. He woke up and commanded the officers and soldiers to fight.

"Fight, fight, do our duty!"

"Fight for God, fight for the king, fight for France!"

Luis Enrique chanted slogans, inspiring the officers and soldiers to shoot hard and resist.

Because of his good command of the army, his subordinates also actively responded to the call, bravely faced the enemy's strong ships, and fought fearlessly.

Luis Enrique was walking around on the open deck, accompanied by his personal soldier Unai-Simon, a countryman he brought from his hometown in Chalon City, who was not yet twenty years old this year and had not yet married.

Suddenly, the Nanhua ship attacked with a shot, and Unai-Simon rushed forward and blocked Luis Enrique.

Then Unai-Simon fell down softly. Luis Enrique was shocked. He squatted on the deck and supported Unai-Simon. A shotgun hit!

Unai-Simon kept vomiting blood in his mouth, and stretched out his hand to Luis Enrique. Luis Enrique reached out and grabbed his hand, and then the young man crooked his neck and fell into the arms of God.

"Ah!" Luis Enrique was extremely sad. He looked around and saw the tragic situation of the "Pluto" being beaten by the enemy. The **** crew members tried their best, but the enemy was too powerful!

He stood up and ordered: "Stop resisting, lower the flag and surrender, raise the white flag!"

His order made the officers and soldiers at a loss and looked at each other in blank dismay.

The former French admiral, Abraham Duquesne, managed the army well. He actively carried out propaganda in the army, educated the officers and soldiers, and let them know that France was the last bastion against the pagans. The Europeans had no way to retreat. If defeated , France will fall, the glory of the Lord will disappear, and **** will reappear.

Abraham Duquesne once made a metaphor, saying that the failure of France is equivalent to the Ottomans conquering Constantinople in 1453, and the situation of the Orthodox Church's collapse will reappear.

So you can't surrender, even if you die in battle, you can go to heaven with a clear conscience.

Under this kind of propaganda and education, the French and other Europeans generally fought to the death. Even if some people surrendered, they would only surrender when they had to fight until their blood was exhausted.

It was different in the past. Surrendering if you can't fight has no psychological burden on Europeans.

Not a single French battleship has surrendered on the battlefield today. The "Pluto" has set such a precedent. I'm afraid everyone will go to **** in the future.

Luis Enrique said painfully: "If the fight continues, few of us will be able to return to our hometown. Surrender, I ordered it, and all the sins will be borne by me!"

The matter has come to this point, everyone can only act according to the order, the "Pluto" stopped resisting and raised the white flag.

They were all heartbroken when they heard the cheers from the enemy ship on the opposite side, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.

When the Chinese on the Nanhua ship passed by the "Pluto", Luis Enrique presented his noble sword to them and asked: "Please treat my crew well!"

The Chinese major who took over his sword gave him a military salute and said in Latin: "Don't worry, my lord, we will do it!"

Chinese medicine doctors and nurses came to treat the wounded on the "Pluto", allowed the crew to bring their personal belongings, and treated the French people kindly.

One after another, French battleships lowered their flags and surrendered one after another, but they were all old and inferior ships, while the French on new battleships like the "Royal Sun" still stubbornly resisted.

Due to the stalking of the Nanhua warships and the division of labor and cooperation of the Nanhua warships, the Nanhua warships on the windward side kept attacking the bulwarks of the French warships, and the Nanhua warships on the leeward side kept cutting the beams of the French warships, resulting in the speed of the French battleships. severe slowdown,

The battle continued until noon, and the coastline of the Brest Naval Port could still be seen.

Suddenly, the battlefield fell silent. The Nanhua battleships that were fighting fiercely stopped fighting and sailed away from the attacking French battleships one after another.

This made the French gasp, but when they raised their binoculars and observed another batch of Nanhua battleships coming not far away, they all had despair on their faces~lightnovelpub.net~South China Fleet Divided into two batches of battle, the first batch was sixty battleships commanded by Shi Lang, whose main task was to bombard the enemy ships as much as they wanted, and the second batch was led by Sirius Ma, who commanded the other sixty battleships. Marines wearing bulletproof vests, wearing helmets, holding blunderbuss, shotguns, long muskets with bayonets, shields and broadswords.

They are going to jump over the enemy ship and grab the enemy ship!

The Europeans met the Nanhua Navy, and it was really bad luck for eight lifetimes. The Nanhua Navy was very good at shooting and shooting, and they were not afraid of boarding. Whether it was a long-distance attack or a close combat, everything was done. It is no wonder that some Europeans even made mistakes: "The emperor of the Chinese is God, and his army is God's army!"

Seeing the Nanhua battleship rushing in, the remaining officers on the French ships yelled, trying to gather the sailors who were still able to move and stood on the open deck to prepare for the battle.

But they were sparse and exhausted, many with injuries.

These Chinese battleships rushed at full speed, without firing a single shot, and also fought two against one, in the form of two battleships pinching a French ship, pressing towards the French ship like Mount Tai! 2084/10294021
