Chapter 1626 Strong ships and guns are the mainstream in the future
"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

In the English Channel, two huge fleets collided fiercely like rolling waves.

Billowing gunpowder smoke was floating over the entire sea area, the artillery fire raged in the sky, and the roar was endless. The shells roared in the air, and then fell heavily into the sea, raising huge water columns, or hitting the enemy heavily. On the top of the warship, holes were smashed.

"Brave matadors~"

"Pierce the chests of these dirty pirates with our cannons and sharp swords, and send them all into the sea to feed the fish!"

Although the Duke of Colster was very old, his voice was still very loud. He stood on the deck, brandishing the sword in his hand, and let out a roar.

Behind him, the Spanish warships had already formed their formations, billowing gunpowder smoke was confusing, water columns rose in the sea area, and a large amount of sea water slapped on the deck.

"We must win! We must win!"

The matadors let out a roar, and the warship continued to advance, and wave after wave of artillery fire attacked the Pirate Alliance warship.

"For the great Japanese king, for the great Japanese country!"

"The clansman who sacrificed innocently for Sunset City, kill!"

Dongfangyue also stood on the deck, pulled out the Japanese sword in her hand, and roared, and on the Japanese boats behind her, many Japanese warriors roared.

"Dong dong!"

The artillery attacks came wave after wave, continuously.

Countless shells roared in the sky, covering a large area of ​​the sea. With the rise of water columns, holes were smashed into the ships of the Pirate Alliance.

"Full speed ahead~"

"Close to them!"

"The fire attack ship and the melee ship speed up!"

The pirates hurriedly released small boats from the big ships, and the people on these small boats rushed towards the Spanish and Japanese warships desperately.

Some boats are filled with all kinds of flammable fuel oil, ready to attack with fire, and some boats come to the door, dressed in tatters but menacing, constantly waving weapons in their hands, rowing the oars excitedly, ready to board the boat fight.

The Pirate Alliance is fully aware of the huge gap with the other side in battleships. The Spaniards and Japanese bought a large number of large warships and artillery from the Ming Empire, and they have an absolute advantage.

It is obviously not a wise move to fight head-on with them.

So you must get close to the opponent as soon as possible, so that your own artillery can also attack the opponent, and at the same time, you can rely on the advantage of numbers to carry out a string battle, releasing small fireships to attack the opponent's large warships.

The vast sea area was filled with a large number of ships in an instant.

The back-and-forth shelling between the two sides caused countless water columns to rise in the sea area, as if there were huge groups of whales moving here.

"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

On the Spanish and Japanese warships, the Miyun cannons purchased from the Ming Empire made loud noises.

The rate of fire is very fast and the range is far enough.

The powerful advantage was fully demonstrated in the naval battle at this moment, and waves of artillery fell towards the Pirate Alliance.

A small English ship was surrounded by a large number of shells, and seven or eight shells directly fell heavily on the ship.

All of a sudden, there was a miserable wail from above the boat, flesh and blood flew everywhere, a large amount of sawdust turned into a terrible sharp weapon, and the holes almost broke the boat to pieces.

The turbulent sea water poured in continuously from the hole, and in a blink of an eye, the ship began to sink into the sea.

The English pirates on the ship immediately jumped out of the ship in horror, and swam desperately around.

One after another, the fast-moving small fire boats were hit by shells one after another, and some unlucky small fire boats were directly hit by a shell.

The small fire boat was smashed in an instant, and a large amount of flammable oil on it was flammable, and it burned up in a blink of an eye, completely devouring the small fire boat, and turned into a fire lotus drifting on the sea.

At the same time, the artillery attack from the Pirate Alliance also landed on the Spanish and Japanese warships, leaving holes in them, and at the same time, there were bursts of wailing on these ships.

Some unlucky ships even ignited the ammunition depot, and there was a huge explosion. The whole ship was blown up and jumped up in the sea, and it was directly divided into two halves, or it was ignited by the raging fire, and it was swallowed in a blink of an eye. clean.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the fighting is getting more and more intense.

The Spanish Japanese combined fleet was in a crescent-shaped formation, giving full play to its own firepower advantage, and the powerful artillery attacks were extremely ferocious.

However, the Pirate Alliance is not a vegetarian. The triangular attack formation is like a sharp knife, inserted into the battleships of Spain and Japan.

At the forefront of the battle, the artillery between the two sides was coming and going, and there were fewer and fewer failures. The shells smashed holes in the warships, causing heavy casualties.

"Fire!"

Small fire boats and landing ships approached quickly.

On the ships, the Spaniards and the Japanese came to the deck one after another, and the muskets made intensive gunshots like roasted beans, smashing the boats trying to approach them into a sieve.

However, there are too many of these small fire boats, almost all over the sea.

I saw a small fire boat colliding with a large Spanish ship heavily. In an instant, a raging fire burst into flames. The large amount of kerosene carried on it burned rapidly, and the fire spread towards the large Spanish ship in a blink of an eye. However, no matter how the Spanish sailors on the ship extinguished it, it was still useless. They could only watch helplessly as the fire continued to spread to other parts of the ship.

There are also small battleships that are like a pack of wolves fighting tigers, encircling a large Japanese warship, flying up with hooks and claws, and then people continue to climb up from these small boats, trying to capture it. This Japanese warship.

It's just that what they met were elite warriors from the Japanese country. These Japanese warriors were almost all passed down from generation to generation, and their martial arts and fighting skills were also passed down from generation to generation.

The Japanese sword in his hand shone coldly under the sunlight, and sent all these vicious pirates across the seas of Europe into the sea to feed the fish. Still diffuse.

"The European barbarians are nothing more than that!"

The warriors of the Wa country easily dismissed the pirates who wanted to take over the battle, and even couldn't help ridiculing them.

Although the Wa people are short, they are extremely fierce in combat, and most of them come from the warrior class with superb martial arts skills. It is a piece of cake to start this kind of battle.

In contrast, the Spanish matador looked a little embarrassed. Here, the pirates' battles brought them huge troubles and made them tired, so that even the artillery attack was not as good as before. When it was violent.

"Dong Dong~ Dong Dong~"

As the distance between the two sides got closer, each other's hit rate began to increase linearly. After a salvo of artillery fire, huge holes appeared on each battlefield, and a large number of people could be seen being killed. The gunfire smashed the bloody flesh.

The severely injured ship began to capsize and began to slowly sink into the sea. The sound of gunfire, gunshots, fighting, and the sound of burning fires constituted a tragic scene of naval battle.

On the sea area not far from the battle between the two sides, on the battleship 'Yongle Great Emperor', Xiong Han and Deng Yong were watching the naval battle intently.

At the same time, on the deck of the battleship, the people of the Ming Empire Navy were recording the data of the battle between the two sides in detail.

The distance and hit rate of the artillery fire attack, the degree of damage to the attacking part and the impact it caused, the pros and cons of different formations, the survival probability of traditional fireships, and the success of the battle against powerful artillery, and combat effects.

The influence of customs and wave levels on naval battles, the advantages and disadvantages of ship size in combat, whether it is better to use intensive array attacks or free combat for artillery attacks, etc.

In a naval battle, there are too many and too many things to learn and summarize, so as to provide the most favorable data for the naval construction of the Ming Empire.

Such a large-scale naval battle is definitely very rare, and it is also a very rare learning opportunity.

"Artillery is the king of the future!"

"Traditional fireboats and battles are really outdated, and even I, an army member, can see clearly."

Deng Yong looked at the battle between the two sides. The fire boat and string boat that the pirates had put high hopes on quickly did not play a big role, because most of the ships were destroyed before they approached.

Even if they are close, they are often greeted with dense bullets. Even if the small boat is close, it is difficult for you to climb up to the tall ship.

On the contrary, the effect of artillery fire is more obvious. Under a round of artillery fire, if the hit rate is high, a large ship can be sunk directly.

Although the battle between the two sides is very fierce now, it can be seen that the combined Spanish and Japanese fleet has more obvious advantages, and the ratio of battle losses between the two sides is constantly increasing.

"Sturdy ships and sharp guns are the mainstream of the sea in the future!"

Xiong Han nodded solemnly and said.
