On December 26, after five days and nights of sailing, the huge fleet of warships finally arrived at Pingshan Island. t

The days of sailing at sea are boring, without any entertainment items, and facing the vast sea every day, this kind of boring feeling, people who have not really sailed on the sea will not understand, only two days have passed, Su Tiancheng lost interest in the beauty of the sea, the same feeling as the last trial, but Su Tiancheng forced himself to adapt, maybe in the future, he will sail on the sea for a long time, leading the Daming Navy to conquer the world.

During the 13th year of Chongzhen, Su Tiancheng spent it at sea. The special moment, the feeling is also different. If it were not for Zheng Zhilong’s arrogance and selfishness, or for Zheng Hongkui leading three hundred warships to attack, at this time, Su Tiancheng It must have been reunited with their families in Dengzhou Prefecture. The officers and soldiers of the Navy also rarely have a chance to relax. The family members have moved to Dengzhou and Laizhou. Those who are not around can also spend a happy Spring Festival in the barracks, but all of this no longer exists.

Not only that, but all the Jiangning camp soldiers stationed in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou have no time to rest and take a bath. They must be on high alert, always pay attention to occupation, and prepare for the worst.

Weihaiwei Wharf is related to the development of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou. This involves the vital interests of the soldiers of the Jiangning camp. Regardless of whether it is for the sake of national righteousness or whether it is anger against Zheng Zhilong or not, most of the family members of the soldiers are here , They will never allow foreign enemies to invade, so this battle does not require Su Tiancheng to do any ideological work.There is even no need for the so-called pre-war mobilization. All the soldiers share the same hatred, wishing to immediately annihilate Zheng Zhilong's fleet and destroy Zheng Zhilong's lair far away in Quanzhou. [

Pingshan Island belongs to one of the first three islands, the other two islands.They are Dashan Island and Cheniushan Island respectively. Pingshan Island is at the forefront, about [-] kilometers away from Dashan Island in the middle, and about [-] kilometers away from Cheniushan Island. The first three islands are [-] miles away from the land. above ground.

The first three islands are not large in size.Pingshan Island is 900 meters long and 300 meters wide. It is the largest among the three islands.

There are a small number of residents on the first three islands, and these residents are very mysterious.Some people say that these people are descendants of pirates, others say that these people are native residents, and some even say that these people are sinners of the Ming Dynasty. Because they committed the crime of exterminating the genocide, they fled to these islands to live. The first three islands are far from the mainland. With a distance of more than 100 miles, unless it is a large sailing boat, it is difficult for ordinary small fishing boats to get here.

The former three islands are shrouded in clouds and fog all the year round, very mysterious, and were once called fairy mountains.

No matter what the rumors are, in Su Tiancheng's view, the strategic location of the first three islands is very important. The places corresponding to the first three islands are Rizhao, Andongwei, and Nanzhili under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture. Haizhou.Controlling the former three islands will also be able to control most of the Yellow Sea well and protect the safety of Qingzhou.

The warship formation arrived at Pingshan Island, but because the warships and patrol ships were too huge, it was impossible to approach Pingshan Island.The Haicang ship can only drop anchor about two miles away from Pingshan Island. The draft of the Haicang ship is not deep, so it can go directly to the vicinity of Pingshan Island. Relying on the spare boats on board, some naval officers landed on Pingshan Island.

Su Tiancheng did not go to the island. What he thought of at this time was the Zheng family's warship that was about to arrive in the waters near Pingshan Island. According to the analysis of intelligence, the 28 warships led by Zheng Hongkui arrived at Pingshan on the night of the 29th or the early morning of the [-]th. Island, the naval battle will start during this time period.

After the night passed, the warships began to form.

In terms of the number of warships this time, there are 120 warships led by Zheng Hongkui, and [-] warships of the Jiangningying Navy. The warship occupies an absolute advantage, but there is also a problem, that is, the warship led by Zheng Hongkui, because of its small size, is likely to choose to flee directly after encountering an attack. Everyone knows that encirclement and annihilation are better than pursuit Battles are much easier to fight, no matter on land or at sea, once the warships are surrounded and there is no room for them to escape, the battles are often over very quickly.

Starting from this idea, the warship formation of the Jiangning Battalion must be deployed before the battle.

The Yantai warship formation has a total of ten warships, ten patrol boats, and ten sea-going ships, among which five sea-going ships belong to the Penglai warship formation. The main task of the Yantai warship formation is to sink and destroy small warships , they are in the position of facing the enemy head-on. Judging from the laws of sea navigation, small warships are generally at the front and back, followed by medium-sized warships, and the largest warships are all in the middle. Then Yantai When the warship formation directly faces the opponent, it can deal a devastating blow to the small warships in the front, and can severely damage some of the medium-sized warships that follow behind the small warships. Warships, use Fran cannon to sink small fleeing warships.

The Penglai warship formation and the Weihai warship formation are responsible for attacking the opponent from the left and right sides. Their main task is to sink or destroy the opponent's large warships. The ten large warships led by Zheng Hongkui are the most important ones they need to destroy. The target, because the attack starts at the same time, there will definitely be countless warships on the huge sea, and these warships cannot follow the escape route you set, so the Penglai warship formation and the Weihai warship formation, Responding to all changes, no matter what the opponent's warship formation does, they will firmly guard their position and constantly use artillery to deal devastating blows to the opponent. The ten sea-going ships under the jurisdiction of the two warship formations It is very mobile and flexible, and can pursue the attack at the right time and deal a heavy blow to the opponent, but it cannot penetrate deep into the opponent's warship formation. This will make the warships and patrol ships be wary and dare not launch large-scale bombardment.

There are warship formations in the front and on the left and right sides. If Zheng Hongkui finds that something is wrong and turns the bow of the ship and flees desperately, there is a great possibility. Under such circumstances, the role of the Dengzhou warship formation and the Laizhou warship formation It is reflected that as a reserve team, they will not participate in the early attack. After the battle starts, the warship formation will quickly insert behind the opponent and establish a line of defense. Once Zheng Hongkui leads the warship back and flees, meet them What happened was the most violent attack by the Dengzhou warship formation and the Laizhou warship formation.

The reason for arranging two formations of warships as the reserve team is Su Tiancheng's deliberate consideration. In fact, one formation of warships can be arranged to attack directly in front, which can inflict greater damage on Zheng Hongkui, but Su Tiancheng believes that once the situation is discovered, No, Zheng Hongkui will order the warships to retreat at full speed within the fastest time. There must be a lot of retreating warships in this way. Using two warship formations to deal with the retreating warships will definitely make Zheng Hongkui despair.

The four directions of front, back, left, and right have all been taken into account. The most important remaining issue is the attack distance. If the distance is too close, it must be inappropriate. In this way, the opponent's artillery may also hit the warship. The warship owned by Zheng Zhilong, Although the cannons are solid, but 100 meters away, the solid can penetrate a [-] cm thick wooden board. This kind of lethality is also amazing. Moreover, the artillery of the five large ships of the Jiangning Battalion is extremely sharp, and the maximum range can reach more than one nautical mile. , As for the heaviest red cannon, the range can reach more than two nautical miles. If the attack distance is too short, the cannons from front, back, left, and right hit your own warship, it would be a big joke.

The attack distance has been strictly calculated. When the combat deployment was first formulated, the attack distance was raised as the most critical issue. For this reason, the warship also conducted experiments at sea, that is to say, the attack distance from the left and right sides The distance between the battleship formations must be around four nautical miles. This is the safest distance, but this distance is not good for attacking. The warships in the middle position can avoid the attack of artillery fire and take the opportunity to escape. , the distance between the left and right warships is about three nautical miles, there is a certain danger, but the attacked warships have almost no chance of escape.

The most favorable condition for the Jiangningying Navy is that the warship led by Zheng Hongkui has no chance of attacking, and the artillery they own is not at the same level as the artillery owned by the Jiangningying Navy. In terms of distance, the warships of the Jiangningying Navy can fire artillery with their hands and feet, but the warship led by Zheng Hongkui can't reach the distance even if they fire artillery, so they can't attack at all.

This also shows that the warship led by Zheng Hongkui will become a living target for the Jiangning Ying Navy.

In this naval battle, the focus is on how to organize the attack. [

At the beginning of the formation of warships, Su Tiancheng finally spoke out all the possibilities, including the odds that the navy possessed. Those who knew these words were the supreme commanders of the warships, patrol ships, and Haicang ships. Commander, at least the identity of more than a thousand households.

Su Tiancheng seriously warned everyone that this was a battle with disparate losses. What the Jiangningying Navy needs is a complete victory. It must completely annihilate the Zheng Family Navy led by Zheng Hongkui. They cannot give their opponents any chance. For those who hang the white flag and surrender The warship must be confirmed that the opponent is sincerely surrendering before boarding the opponent's warship, otherwise the attack will continue. Secondly, the enemy must not be underestimated, and Zheng Hongkui must not be given a chance to escape. Dumplings, not a chase. (To be continued.
