Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 343
This naval battle was really intense.

The Satsuma Navy Navy is desperately rushing desperately, and the Daming Navy is desperately booming desperately.

The shouts of killing on the sea were loud, and the roar of artillery was even more deafening.

Of course, only the Satsuma Navy Navy was really fighting for their lives. After several rounds of artillery bombardment, hundreds of their small fishing boats were smashed to pieces.

The Daming Navy is desperately loading and firing shells, fighting with them.

It's a pity that the artillery can't be fired indefinitely.

After ten rounds of shelling, the barrels of all the guns on the side of the Dragon Tooth battleship were so hot that they were about to turn red. If they continued to load shells and fire, the barrels would probably be deformed due to the heat.

At that time, if the shell is stuck inside and blows up, it will be fatal.

Shen Yourong and Zhang Yuanfang had no choice but to order the Longya warship to turn around and switch sides.

This dragon tooth battleship has a huge hull, so turning around is naturally not as fast as the wheel and the wolf tooth warship.

With the time they turned around, the Satsuma Navy's navy had already rushed to less than a mile in front of the line of defense of the chariot and the Spike warship.

At this time, although five or six hundred warships of the Satsuma Navy Navy had been smashed to pieces, most of them were small fishing boats that could only accommodate a few people.

Real warships such as Guanfu and Anzhai would not necessarily be sunk after being shot. Moreover, they basically rushed through the blockade of the artillery after being shot, and it was unlikely that they would be hit by shells later.

Therefore, the loss of the closed ship and the house ship of the Satsuma Navy Navy was not very large. As for the iron-clad ships, none of them were sunk.

Huashan Jiugao had predicted this, and urged his subordinates to charge desperately.

Of course he knew that small fishing boats could not withstand a single shot.

So what?

Even if five or six hundred small fishing boats were sunk, at most one or two thousand people would be lost, and he didn't care at all.

The Guan boat, the Anzhai boat and the iron-clad boat are the main force of the Satsuma Navy's navy. As long as he can lead the main warship to rush to the Daming Navy, there is still hope of winning the battle.

It has to be said that he really has a problem with his mind.

Daming can produce so many cannons, how can the number of muskets be less?

Taichang saw that the Satsuma Navy navy was still rushing forward desperately, and he couldn't help but scornfully said: "These guys, I'm afraid they don't know how fierce the firepower of the chariot and the Spike warship is at close range, and they will die if they rush up!"

However, Yuan Keli carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, their iron-clad warships seem to be a bit tricky. I have carefully looked at them. Almost all of their more than ten iron-clad warships have been shot, but there is no place on the surface that has been smashed through. .”

To be honest, the armored warships of the Dongying people really have a little bit of knowledge.

They also thought that there would be defensive loopholes when the deck was exposed, so they built an iron house directly on the deck!
This is similar to the Aegis ship.

I just don't know how defensive their iron houses are.

Taichang squinted his eyes and took a look in front of the barrel telescope.

Sure enough, the more than ten armored warships of the Satsuma Navy Navy seemed to be undamaged, without a single hole on the surface.

At this distance, you can see other people's iron-clad warships clearly, and the range of a [-]-jin Thor II rifled gun should be almost enough.

He thought for a while, and then said to Yuan Keli: "Liqing, why don't we use the main cannon to fire a few shots, and we should be able to hit it from the distance."

When Yuan Keli heard this, he quickly moved his eyes to the barrel telescope in front of him.

At this moment, the barrel binoculars on the left and right sides were moved to the front, because there were three of them watching the battle.

Yuan Keli only observed for a while, and then decisively ordered: "The flagship deflects ten degrees, slowly moves forward to the left, and the main gun at the bow is loaded with shells."

A burst of orders sounded, and soon the flagship began to slowly move forward to the left.

Yuan Keli observed carefully for a while, then raised his hand and said: "Stop, the main guns at the bow of the ship will fire a salvo."

"boom boom"

The flagship trembled slightly, and six shells flew out whistling immediately.

Not to mention, Yuan Keli's experience is really rich. After he took aim for a while, two of the six shells hit an iron-clad ship of the Satsuma Navy's navy.

The power of this flagship main gun is not a joke, at least the firing speed is more than twice as fast as that of the [-]-jin Thor II artillery.

The faster the firing speed, the greater the impact force. In this era when the power of artillery is purely based on smashing, the impact force is the main destructive force.

The iron-clad ship of the Satsuma Navy navy that was hit by the bombardment was immediately smashed into two big holes.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help smiling and said: "The iron-clad battleship of the Dongying people has only one layer of armor, so it's not enough to worry about. Let's wait and see. Once the Longya warships of the Dongyang Navy and Beiyang Navy turn their heads, they will bombard them again." After ten rounds, those ironclad warships will be blown apart even if they are not sunk."

He didn't plan to continue bombarding with the flagship's main gun anymore, because the flagship was too far away from the front battlefield, and it was too troublesome to aim for a while after every bombardment.

At this moment, he has already used it. The iron-clad ships of the Satsuma Navy's navy will definitely not be able to withstand the intensive bombardment of the dragon-tooth warships, and that's enough.

There was absolutely no need for him to waste this time firing a few more shells into the battlefield.

Huashan Jiugao, who was on the opposite side, was shocked when he saw that an ironclad ship next to him had been bombarded with two large holes.

However, at this time, the forwards of the fleet had already rushed within one mile of the forwards of the Daming Navy, and they would be able to fight with the Daming Navy immediately, so naturally he would not even think about running away at this time.

No matter how powerful the artillery is, they dare not bombard randomly in close combat, otherwise they will hit their own people.

He is still very clear about this.

At this moment, he just wanted to rush up, earthen cannons, earthen guns, rockets, kerosene, etc., and even people, to overthrow the Daming Navy!
Unfortunately, he thinks too much.

At this moment, shield walls have been erected on the wheels and the Spike warships in the front row of the Daming Navy, and densely packed muskets have also been erected on the shield walls!
You know, no matter there are only sailors and soldiers on the warship of the Daming Navy, there are also many infantry on it.

It can be said that every ship of the Daming Navy is full of people, and the number of muskets, shields, and spears is frighteningly large.

The Guan ship and the Anzhai ship of the Satsuma Navy had just approached a distance of about [-] steps, and before they had time to ignite the lead wires of the earthen cannon and the earthen gun, the Daming Navy was bombarded with "crack, clap, clap" Rain flies over.

These Guan and Anzhai boats are not equipped with iron armor, and the cabins do not cover the entire deck, and there are many people on the deck.

This rain of bullets flew over, and I don't know how many people were beaten into sieves.

Huashan Jiugao held up the inferior binoculars he bought from the Dutchman and looked at them, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Agalei, Mayilei, oh Taka, Xiwa, scatter KIKI!"

He probably meant that he wanted his sailors to rush up to pick up the ship and seize the ship.

Unfortunately, he still thinks too much.

It's useless for the vanguard's warship to go up, no matter whether they throw the hook lock or use the springboard, they can't get on the wheel and the spike warship.

Because there were too many people on the chariot and the wolf-tooth warship, not only the musketeers of the navy, but also the infantry of the Shenji Battalion and the Shenwu Battalion.

The infantry of Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion have spears and swords and shields.

They just erected the shield wall just now, but now they have all drawn out their spears. If the Satsuma navy wants to board the ship, why not stab them to death!

I don't know how many spears protruded from behind the shield wall, and all the Satsuma sailors who rushed up were thrown into the water.

This time Huashan Kudaka was really a little desperate.

Miyamoto can't do it!

How to do?
He was considering whether to escape, when the Ming army's ship formation rang out again with the loud roar of artillery.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"!
At this time, the Dragon Tooth warships of the Daming Navy had already turned around, and his position happened to be within the bombardment range of the artillery.

Thousands of shells rained down like raindrops.

His ears were full of crackling noises, sawdust flew across the cabin, and many places were cracked.

Nani, how many artillery pieces did the Ming army have?
He raised his binoculars and looked behind the wheel and the Spike, and dozens of huge black shadows immediately came into his eyes.

This time, he finally saw it.

So many buildings and gunboats!
How to do?
No matter how ruthless he is, he can't beat him!

No choice but to withdraw.

He hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said: "Order, all warships turn around and withdraw."

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"!
There was another violent artillery roar, and the cabin of his flagship was almost smashed to pieces.

At this time, he just wanted to run and escape back to Kagoshima!
Unfortunately, he was discovered by Shen Yourong and Zhang Yuanfang just after he ordered to turn around.

Want to run?

It's not that easy!
After waving the command flag, all the chariots and warships rushed forward, and soon surrounded the Satsuma Navy Navy.

Even if they have oars, they are useless, and the wheel and the mace can run fast without being rowed.
