Lord of Ming Dynasty

Knowing that his fleet is full of amateur players, and that many of them are actually cannon fodder, and that his side has fewer ships than the other side, Sa Lei took eight warships around and waited for an opportunity to kill one or two of the enemy, leveling the situation. In order to find the right opportunity to get close to the enemy's ships, use the cannon fodder on board to fight with the enemy.

He knew that the French were short-handed.

The first thousand and 220 chapters fired, Morin 1

Not far away, under the leadership of Morin, the other eight steam engine ships are chasing the seven French steam engine ships. Most steam ships were [-] tons, and there was even a [-]-ton ship, which was small in size, but fast and relatively flexible. This ship caused a lot of trouble for the steam ships of the New Qin Empire.

As the captain of the sailor brigade, Mo Lin won the trust of Li Ya. He used to be a bosun of the Third Fleet of the Chinese Empire Navy. Later, he went to the Royal Naval Artillery Academy for further study. Because of fighting, his classmate was jealous and was punished. As a result, that The senior was also punished. He felt dissatisfied and found someone to beat him. This incident became serious, and the school punished them. The senior was exiled to Australia, and he was exiled to Vladivostok. their exile.

The two got along for a while, and they met late. As a captain and bosun, Li Ya, the colonel of the Guards and the third officer of a steam ship in the First Fleet, was very fond of him. The two chatted a lot until One night, after receiving an exile mission from the empire, the new Governor-General issued an order directly, and the Governor-General's gendarmerie guards were dispatched directly. With the cooperation of local troops, they were exiled to Russia and became soldiers of a mercenary regiment to serve Russia. Conquest, in fact, is that Russia and the Chinese Empire cooperate to consume them and send them to death.

Many people hate the empire. In fact, many people here hate the empire very much. Mo Lin is the same. Li Ya is a little indifferent. He is the kind who wants to be admitted that he has been wronged, but also thinks about the freedom of life now, and does not want to be disturbed by the empire. thoughts.

Mo Lin followed Li Ya, of course he knew Li Ya's complicated thoughts. Foreigners, especially British, even if they were criminals, in the end the territory they conquered was still British, the place they occupied was also British, and the place where they lived was colonial. The place is also from the UK, but when Chinese people go out, the territory they create is generally not Chinese, because China has never done this kind of thing. It has been from ancient times to the present. You fight for territory, I just want to fight for power and territory with my brothers and sisters, father and grandfather, and kill each other.

This is why the British can become the sun that never sets, while the Chinese outside have occupied many territories, but they were eventually killed and robbed by the local aborigines, because they were fighting, and the aborigines watched by, and finally They made trouble and killed their family. In the end, the aborigines enjoyed the achievements of the Han people's construction.

Li Ya and the others couldn't think of it that far, but Zhang Qiang, the emperor, had thought of it a long time ago and sent Zhao Shuai to watch.

The steam engine ship and warship led by Morin quickly approached the enemy. Under the command of the gunner, the gunner on the ship quickly loaded the shells and fired. This old French artillery is too heavy and slow, because it is not tender. Manufacturing artillery shells, so now the Chinese Empire still uses captured French artillery shells, and most of them are solid shells for combat. Therefore, the war mode has returned to the combat mode of the era of sailing warships in the era of great navigation.

The two sides try to get as close as possible, and then use solid bullets and chain bullets to hit each other's hull, deck, and mast.

On the ship, the French have to suffer a little, because they still use wooden boards, and the Han people, the sailor brigade of the Chinese Empire Navy, installed a lot of armor plates on the ship before setting off to protect the hull and deck. sailors.

Because it was captured and armor plates were added, the steamship is not as powerful as the French's own steamship, and the speed is a little slower. On the artillery, the French can use newer artillery, and the gunners are well trained, at least They are more professional gunners than Molin, so the eight steam engine ships led by Molin suffered a lot in terms of firepower. In less than two hours, the eight steam engine ships were hit hard. Also dropped.

There were many sailors lying on the deck of the ship, bloody and bloody, and the Indians and Africans who were handymen scrubbed the deck and vomited several times after carrying the corpses. Turkish sailors and gunners kept running out to replace the dead sailor brigade The sailors and gunners of the pirate team, as well as the sailors and gunners of the pirate team, in the end even the Inuit had to run out temporarily to serve as cablemen, raising and lowering the sails to adjust the attitude of the ship, coordinate with the steam engine to turn and stop the ship, and fire the cannons. Speed ​​up, slow down.A complex series of sail warships plus a mixed operation of steam ships.

However, the French were not much better. Although the firepower received by their hulls was not as severe as that of the warships of the New Qin Empire, there were still many places where the ships operated by equally skilled British and French sailors and gunners found opportunities and fired After the shell hit, the solid bullet hit a few big holes in the hull, and after the cracked bullet hit, it swept away a group of sailors and gunners on the deck of the ship.

Mo Lin stood at the highest point, holding up the binoculars, continuously issuing orders, and at the same time paying attention to the battle of Sa Lei and the others over there. Sa Lei took a dozen enemy sail warships to a distance of [-] nautical miles, destroying most of the enemy's firepower. It was attracted away, although there are still seven or eight sailing warships here, they cooperated with the steam engine ships and warships to attack Molin's steam engine team.

"The enemy's formation is restored, prepare the field artillery, launch the field artillery, prepare the explosive shells, aim at the enemy's deck...," Molin continued to issue combat orders, and the signal sailor waved in the higher and lower mast dump The flag communicated his orders to the other warships.

After the melee, the warships of the New Qin Empire swayed, staggered away from the enemy, and then quickly gathered and approached the Taizhou, forming a scattered long snake formation.

And the enemy's formation was quickly formed because of proficiency, a little faster than this side.

Before this side was ready, the artillery on the last ship of the enemy opened fire, salvo——, the warships on the French parallel front, which were more than half the length of Molin's imperial steam engine team, opened fire violently, one by one. Shells were scattered in their formation. For a while, the warships of the New Qin Empire, which had just recovered a little bit of formation, were smashed to pieces and crooked. Many ships emitted black smoke. Obviously some places were destroyed. It ignited.

Although iron armor plates are installed, many places are still made of wood, especially the masts and sails on the castrated hull. Because this is an experimental steam engine battleship, the sails and masts are still kept, just to fear With no coal supply and no steam engine, continue sailing with sails.

The hoarse voice of the signalman, choked by the gunpowder, reported the loss of each ship, "Jinling was hit by the rudder, lost the ability to turn and continue to move forward, and was spinning in place. They were about to withdraw from the battle and repair the rudder on the spot. They needed cover. .Other ships have suffered serious losses and can continue to follow the fleet to fight."

Mo Lin was a little discouraged, but he quickly adjusted, "Let the Yangzhou cover it, and the other ships continue to follow the fleet, preparing to fight back with wild artillery, and pay attention to using the artillery of the turret."

The first thousand and 220 chapters, Morin, fire 2

The speed of the French artillery is faster than that of the New Qin Empire, because they have specially trained gunners for a long time, but they are also bronze-level artillery, and it is impossible to be faster than the gap between the two shells here. So they fired a round, this side was ready, the solid bullets continued to shoot, and after the field guns were fixed, they started to fight back. The important thing was the field guns with turrets on the bow. patent.

Under the push of manpower, the turret quickly rotated to the angle set by the parameters, then raised the muzzle, and with a bang, the cannon was fired. After the cannon fired, it moved along the track to the rear seat, relying on the reverse thrust of the rear spring, the cannon quickly After a simple adjustment, the artillerymen quickly cleaned the barrel of the gun, and then pushed the shell into the chamber. The observer quickly reported the shooting parameters, and then the artillery took less than ten seconds to adjust. emission.

When it finished the third round, the French salvo came again.

This time the French did not hit any of the ships. The turrets quickly fired the fourth round of artillery. Six steamship warships quickly fired twelve shells. When the shell hit Taizhou, the last ship passing their battle line, it was hit by Taizhou and Xianjuzhen. A total of three shells hit the enemy's steam ship.

One hit the enemy ship, blasting a hole the width of one person. The artillery position and gunners behind were killed and wounded. The artillery blasted out and fell into the sea. There was even a gunner who was blown out from the opposite gun port and fell into the sea. This single shell caused the enemy to lose a cannon, killed more than a dozen gunners and the handymen behind them, and damaged a cabin column. The weight of the deck and mast made the cabin click, not rupture, but it was also scary.

Another shell hit the enemy's mast, breaking a secondary mast. The fragments of the shell swept all the sailors climbing on the mast, and the sails fell down. The turbulence caused by the sails on the mast made the entire sail system useless.

Another shell hit the stern of the ship, sweeping all the soldiers, sailors and officers on the stern to the deck, causing heavy casualties, the deck was in a mess, the slanted sails fell into the sea, the steam engine ship shook, and a steam engine stopped , The power dropped, the steam engine ship broke out of the queue, slowed down, and the sailors on board were in a mess.

Rescue the wounded rescue the wounded, count the casualties running up and down, yelling, the commander shouted loudly to fight, but the captain wanted to let the ship withdraw from the battle and make repairs, because their power lost the sail and a steam engine later , the speed has dropped to about six knots, and it is impossible to keep up with the fleet battle line that is maneuvering at a speed of eight or nine knots.

The other artillery shells caused some disturbance to the enemy's battle line. The near miss caused the enemy to lose 35 sailors and one gunner at a time, and one artillery was wetted by the sea water and had to be thrown away.

Generally speaking, after the second round of shooting by the French, there is still a bit of a disadvantage here, but fortunately, the six steam engine warships can still fight. After speeding up, the steam engine warships are parallel to the French battle line for the first time. They began to turn in front of them, trying to occupy the "T"-shaped battle position. Once that happened, the New Qin Empire fleet could only be crushed and beaten by them, and one by one was exploded by the enemy.

"Fire from the turret at the front, shoot freely, try to damage another enemy warship and destroy their battle line advantage." Molin shouted to the turret below.

The front battery answered his order with a cannon fire.

"Boom, boom," the powerful 75mm field artillery of the Chinese Empire quickly and accurately hit a steam engine ship in the enemy's battle line. There was a tearing sound, and then a puff of thick black smoke suddenly burst out, "Boom," a violent and fiery flame burst out.

Mo Lin put down the binoculars, "So it hit the enemy's ammunition depot, that's great."

The 75mm artillery shell accurately drilled into the middle of the enemy's wooden hull, and then exploded. The huge shock wave detonated the surrounding cabins, objects and people in the cabin, including several barrels of gunpowder barrels. The gunpowder kegs in the lower cabin in the distance, and the gunpowder stored in this cabin exploded together, so the steamship disappeared in the explosion before it could be damaged in time.

It's so fast that you don't even have time to react.

The explosion of the steam engine warship on the middle battle line directly cut off the enemy's battle line, so that the enemy had to disband the battle line and fight on their own. The first three warships were still facing the "T," the prefix Going away, the five warships behind separated and rushed towards the battle line of the New Qin Empire. At this time, the battle line of the New Qin Empire was turning to avoid the attack of the enemy's battle line. The artillery on one side fired one after another, and the enemy disbanded A steam engine warship rushing forward in the battle line was hit on the bow, and then plunged down suddenly, stalled, and spun around in place.

Two of the remaining four ships were hit on the deck, suffered heavy losses, and stopped. The remaining two ships rushed over, fired a front deck artillery, and hit the last Fuzhou on this side, which was devastated and suffered heavy casualties. There was no one alive on the deck, but the people in the turret were still alive. Using their own tail gun turret, the Fuzhou opened fire violently. While retreating, they fired at the same time, closely chasing the tail of their own fleet's battle line and fleeing.

The current situation is evenly matched, you take advantage of me, and I take advantage of you. After destroying one enemy warship, there are six ships on this side and six ships on that side. Hit doesn't exist anymore.

There is still one to guard, but compared to the heavy losses here, the losses there are not small. First, one has withdrawn from the battle line, and the other has been blown up. Relying on the quality of troops and speed advantages, the enemy can still suppress the enemy. Watching them fight, five ships against six ships, without cowardice, it seems that the enemy commander is also a man of firm will.

"Bang bang bang," among the four enemy warships rushing up, one was seriously injured, one slowed down, and the remaining two speeded up and rushed up. Fuzhou resisted as much as possible, but was still caught by the enemy. The Fuzhou was loaded directly from two positions on one side, and the Fuzhou almost rolled over. He threw out the grabbing rope, hooked the Fuzhou directly, and then swung over while grabbing the rope.

"Quick, shoot, the combat team rushes up to block the enemy."

The members of the battle team hiding in the cabin of the Fuzhou rushed up one after another, shooting, throwing axes, shooting arrows, javelins, and shooting down the enemy sailors who jumped into the water, but most of them jumped over and waved their weapons rushed up.

Soldiers from two enemy warships attacked a marine fighter from Fuzhou. Fuzhou gave up struggling and got off their posts one after another. No matter they were officers or handymen, they rushed to the deck roaring and fought with the enemy.

The first thousand 220 chapter two Molin, fire 3

When Mo Lin reassembled his fleet, there were only five warships around him. The Jinling was seriously damaged, and the Yangzhou went to protect it. Although it could fire, the fleets of the two families were already ten nautical miles away. It can be said that it has already withdrawn from this battle. Not far away, an enemy warship has also withdrawn from the battle. It is constantly circling around with black smoke, and the personnel on the warship are walking around. It seems that the damage is not small. Even the battlefield Unable to exit.

Not far away, at the tail of the fleet, two enemy warships plunged into the hull of the Fuzhou. The Fuzhou was engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat. The enemy continued to jump onto the Fuzhou from the two damaged warships. It was shooting, firing cannons, swords, axes, short spears, bows and arrows attacking each other, or long swords, swords cutting each other, and the sound of shouting and killing drifted over with the sea wind, and even the sound of artillery fire from both sides could not cover up.

Seeing that the Fuzhou was besieged by two of his own warships, the remaining two warships turned their heads and approached the remaining three enemy warships. In order to gather their respective warships, the two sides fired at a distance of three miles, circling , while waiting for other ships in his fleet to come and come.

On Mo Lin's side, the Taizhou led the Xianju, and only Zhangzhou, Guangzhou, Guilin, and Hangzhou followed, and they were staggering, and it seemed that they had suffered a lot of damage.

However, the situation was so loud that their side fell, and the other two enemy ships did not come close. They were still five nautical miles away, and the enemy only had three left to deal with the six ships on their side.

Seeing that the battle line here was basically formed, Mo Lin yelled, "Let everyone disband the battle line, rush up, and beat them up." Six to three, this time happened to bully them.

So after two rounds of salvo, the six warships separated and surrounded them in a fan shape, attacking the enemy while firing.

The enemy may have panicked. Although they have advantages in weapons and equipment and the quality of soldiers, they only have three ships left, and the other two are still five nautical miles away, and they are coming at full speed.

For two miles, the enemy tried to dodge, firing back fire while preparing to turn around. After one and a half miles, the field artillery here was able to hit the enemy, and the few field artillery blasted a water column nearly ten meters high around the enemy warship. For a mile, the enemy's salvo damaged Zhangzhou's bow, and even the fort. Zhangzhou paused and continued to charge forward.

The forts in front of the Taizhou and Xinxianju continued to fire.
