Lord of Ming Dynasty

Now there are more than 8000 people in the entire army, which are divided into five regiments, each with 120 people, and each regiment has four battalions, of which three battalions are ordinary battalions, and one battalion is a regimental battalion. Six people, three platoons per company, 36 people in each platoon, the extra people are the company platoon, the number is slightly less, three squads per company, 12 people in one squad, two squad leaders and ten soldiers, the squad leader and deputy squad leader in wartime One person leads five people, it can be said that people make the best use of them.

There are five regiments with more than 8000 people, and there are only more than 700 people in total. The remaining 300 people are brigades and regiments, and they are always defending the army major, Sweeping Thunder. Yes, the New Qin Empire was founded, and it has not yet been officially naturalized. In various departments and military ranks, he, a major, was promoted temporarily by Li Ya.

Colonel Li Ya, Colonel Tang Yaweng, Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Shuai, Major Wu Kejing, Major Mo Lin, Lieutenant Wunan, Lieutenant Jin Lin, Lieutenant Zhuang Lin, and other officers in the entire New Qin Empire are second lieutenants, lieutenants, and captains, but they Still in the officer corps, obeying orders to do things.

The military ranks they wear are those of the New Qin Empire, and they use the original military ranks in the Huaxia Empire, but in fact their actual military ranks may only be non-commissioned officers, and real non-commissioned officers are also non-commissioned officers, and they do not necessarily assign duties according to their original military ranks.

There are more than 8000 people in the five regiments, two of which are foreign regiments. The foreign regiments are not called brave. There are more than 600 people. There are two rounds of casualties. A total of nearly 5000 people were killed and injured. Two rounds were added, and a total of three rounds were added. More than 800 people, one of the supplementary manpower is from the original foreign mercenaries of the New Qin Empire, all of them were recruited from Turkey, Spain, Morocco and Africa, and the other is from the manpower left by the original France, as well as the captured prisoners. , There are also some non-British people who were captured by the British in the British troops from other European kingdoms, princely states, and principalities, and a small part of them came from the British.

The rest of the manpower was supplemented by the local captured Newfoundlanders and Inuit, a very small part of the Indians, and there were originally Iliads, but there were too few of those people on the island. The two early allies Most of the tribe's population has been consumed, and the rest are old and weak, unable to be recruited.

Two foreign regiments and a brigade regiment followed the sky mines at any time, and the other three regiments, all three regiments were Han Chinese regiments, with some Indian soldiers.One of these two regiments was stationed in Great Falls, dispatched by Tang Yaweng, and the other was stationed in the Puerto Peninsula, guarding the northwest port of Newfoundland, two inland lakes and a reservoir.Another regiment was stationed on another peninsula near Canada's Bell Strait.

The brigade regiment has two cavalry battalions, and each foreign regiment has a cavalry battalion.

The artillery has its own independent regiment, which is under the management of Jinlin, and is temporarily assigned to Swee Tianlei and the others, because Jinlin went all the way, repairing the coastal defense forts of the port, and most of the artillery regiments they brought were pushed and led by captives. Slaves were in charge of transportation, paving roads, and building bridges, a regiment of mercenaries, and a regiment of cavalry escorted them.

In this way, more than 1 troops of the army were assigned to the island, the remaining 3000 were on the adjacent peninsula, and 2000 were on Xinbao Island, which is the Avalan Peninsula.

The remaining few thousand Han people were on these two islands. After more than 60 ships of the reinforcement fleet returned, about 3000 Han people successively entered the two islands and became civilians temporarily. Some people were gathered together. Some of them were combat soldiers during the sailing process, about [-] people gathered in Xinxianju Town.

The gathered people were trained by the officers of the remaining officer regiments, taught them, explained to them the situation on the island, the history of the new Qin Empire, the difficulties in the past, and the wind speed habits of the indigenous people on the island, and told them Some policies and establishments of the New Qin Empire, precautions, lest they don’t understand anything, and treat themselves as people from the Huaxia Empire, superior to others, causing misunderstandings between the people of the New Qin Empire and the people of the mercenary regiment, and then bad things happen.

The first thousand and 360 nine chapters of the main fleet out of trouble

The New Qin Empire completely occupied Newfoundland and had a safe place to live. The army wiped out the resisting British and aborigines. It can be said that the empire really gained a firm foothold here. When the remaining 13 Han returned, Then the population of the Han Chinese in the New Qin Empire skyrocketed to 2, plus the [-] family members of the mercenary population. The population of the New Qin Empire in Europe is one-tenth, or one-tenth, of Portugal. With a large population, it can be considered a small country.

But it cannot be counted purely, because they still captured 10,000+ indigenous population on the island, including more than 9 British and French populations. Let them go, the number of real French is only more than 3000, the number of British immigrants is only 2 to [-], the population of mercenaries hired by the British in other European countries is only a few thousand, and only half of the British are New Yorkers. Finns and Inuit, but this is a solid population of British captured by the New Qin Empire, so they are also considered British.

At this time, the main fleet led by Morin was no longer so afraid of the enemy's super fleet. It was all because the super fleet of the British Major General John Bin Carter was defeated. It's unbearable.

At this time, I saw about one and a half of the enemy's super fleet. I just thought that the enemy's warships were a little more, which might threaten the reinforcement fleet and cause heavy losses to the returning Han people.

On the sea, the cold sea breeze was blowing. The two sides followed five nautical miles and formed formation. Twelve armored ships faced more than 40 main battleships of the enemy, and a dozen warships behind them, which were barely considered main battleships, covered more than 50 supply ships. On the opposite side, there were hundreds of warships ready to charge at any time. In another place, after more than 20 reinforcements from Korwu Town rushed to the enemy's side, the enemy sent out more than 20 warships to intercept.

The strength comparison is unfavorable to the New Qin Empire.

Approaching, approaching, slowly approaching, four nautical miles, three nautical miles, the reinforcement warships in the distance rushed up, fighting with the enemy's rear fleet, and artillery battles broke out.

Close to two nautical miles, the enemy warships behind the enemy are divided into three parts, and the two parts of the side warships rush to the rear supply fleet separately. The supply fleet divides into two parts of warships to meet the enemy, and a small part retreats into the supply fleet to fight against the enemy together. There are so many warships, because the twenty warships in the supply fleet can't intercept the enemy's auxiliary warships that are twice as many as their own.

Mo Lin was a little anxious. Even if his twelve ironclad ships could resist and fight, there was no guarantee that the reinforcement fleet would not be damaged. No matter how damaged it was, the damage could not be afforded. He immediately waved his hand, "Speed ​​up and kill the main force of the enemy!" Battleship, come back to clean up the enemy's auxiliary battleships."

two nautical miles,

one nautical mile,

The enemy's side is already full of artillery fire. There are nearly a thousand artillery pieces, no matter they can't hit them, they all open fire, like locusts. The artillery on this kind of warship was originally used to support the ground, and it is not a problem to hit a few nautical miles. 600-800-meter sea battle, direct-fire artillery, fire only after reaching 1000 meters, such a waste of shells, because everyone knows that now we must go all out.

At a distance of 800 meters from the locust-like artillery, dozens of shells fell in the middle of the fleet.

It didn't do much damage though.

At 600 meters, the enemy's second round of artillery came. One or two of the hundreds of shells hit the ironclad ship. Mi, the shells have long lost their power at this distance, just like throwing a coconut and hitting a car in the distance, just rubbing against the skin.

At 400 meters, this side also fired. The turret artillery ensured enough recoil. The shells fired were like a heavy hammer, hitting the enemy's warship. The enemy's wooden battleship immediately seemed to be smashed Like walnuts, they made a cracking sound, and they were injured one after another. The iron sheet on it was rolled up, and sawdust flew across. The gunners and sailors died on the spot.

At 350 meters, the enemy's artillery has changed to flat fire, and the hit rate has increased, but it still cannot penetrate the hull armor of the ironclad ship, but the artillery on this side can inflict heavy damage on the enemy, because the turret is used here. The enemy is still the gun gallery artillery.

At 300 meters, Morin no longer approached the enemy. Although he knew that he could hit the enemy if he got close, the battle with Major General Carter let him know that this distance can weaken the enemy most powerfully.

It is the safest for the iron-clad warships of the New Qin Empire. At this distance, the enemy's artillery shells will not cause much damage to the iron-clad ships, but the artillery shells can hit the enemy. The enemy is very weak at this distance, and I can hardly suffer any damage at this distance. Defeat the enemy's super fleet.

More and more shells made the ironclad dangle from the enemy's bullets without much risk.

One circle, two circles, after two circles with the enemy, although the outer hull was heavily scarred, it did not cause much damage. Instead, several steam engine warships and sail warships of four to five thousand tons on the enemy's side were seriously injured and had to withdraw Fighting, Mo Lin saw it, that's good, let's fight like this, and quickly ordered the fleet to pull the fleet a little further away from the enemy's fleet, a distance of 320 meters to 50 meters, so that the enemy could not destroy them even though they were chasing them.

The enemy's artillery is mostly an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage, because now the British use gun gallery artillery, which still has no turret, and the ones with turrets are just a few hastily made. Type turret confrontation.

The first thousand and 370 chapters of the main fleet out of trouble 1

In a tragic artillery battle, it is not always one side that suffers, but both sides suffer. Two hours later, one of the twelve ironclad ships was smashed by the enemy's shells like rain, and then half of the reserve sailors and handymen , the wounded below and some cabins were destroyed, the power of the battleship dropped, the bulkhead was blown to pieces, and it staggered on the sea, the speed dropped to five or six knots, and it had to withdraw from the battle line.

The numbers of the armored gunships also follow Zhuang Lin’s and their powerful fleet numbers. Those who are not strong fleets number their warships with the names of their leading captains or commanders. When the New Qin Empire was first established, many things were not standardized, so numbering warships and giving battleships The names were all thought of by everyone on the spur of the moment, and there were no special rules. Although Li Ya wanted to make the New Qin Empire regular, there were too many wars and too many trivial things. The development of the New Qin Empire was affected by There was a lot of pressure, so some minutiae things were not worked out in detail. Each officer led the army, and each officer compiled a set by himself, just like the general king of the mountain, without rules.

The ironclad ship No. 11 was seriously injured. Not only the stern was blown up in a mess, but the hull was full of bullet holes. The superstructure on the deck was almost completely destroyed, and the chimney was interrupted. It was only six or seven meters high and incomplete. Incomplete, thick smoke billowing, only two of the eight [-]mm rapid-fire guns on both sides are left, and the others are crooked and can no longer fire. , There are only two or three doors that can still fire.

The power was damaged, which was the biggest damage. A propulsion shaft was interrupted, the propeller fell into the sea, and the steam from the blown-up boiler compartment inside was still full of soot flying all over the deck.

The artillery at the stern was basically destroyed, the artillery at the bow was still there, and it was still able to fire. The entire ship suffered casualties, thirty gunners, twenty sailors, five combatants, and three damage control personnel. The tragic shelling killed another [-] slaves who were turned into a pile of roasted pork in the bottom warehouse. The damage control team risked casualties, and with the support of the combatants, they moved all the corpses to one side and piled them in an empty warehouse. The wounded were rescued and placed in the cabin on the second deck, waiting for rescue in the medical room.

The officers below dispatched some slaves to help clean up the coal bunkers, cleared out all the broken places, threw garbage into the sea, and reduced the weight of the ships. The combatants went down to help the slaves repair the pipelines, transport the coal, and pile the coal in The side of the boiler room that can be activated is convenient for the slaves to add coal to the boiler, go down to the bottom bin and the third deck to clean up the counterweight materials, and maintain the balance of the cabin. The damage control team will repair some of the blasted places, and then use the pump to pump out the seawater.

Withdrew two or three nautical miles, and immediately the idle enemy sailing warships came up to pick up the bargain. After all, the British had too many ships. Many ships, even many, rushed towards the supply fleet, but the ships of the supply fleet were not without defensive firepower. Yes, at the same time, there is a large fleet over there, slowly marching towards Newfoundland. In front of the huge fleet, those wandering warships were hit hard by the firepower and couldn't get close. In addition, many warships with powerful firepower have combat missions, so Those small warships can't gain merits, and now there are finally injured and left alone, of course they have to rush to catch the cheap.

But this is not easy to pick up, because there are two 11mm guns firing on the No. 75 ironclad ship, two [-]mm rapid-fire guns are firing, and at least one [-]-pounder gun in the gun gallery is firing every time.

The three enemy [-]-ton sailing clippers that rushed up were immediately battered and scarred. This was because they were fast, otherwise they would have disintegrated if they hit directly.

The ironclad ship staggered after the retreating supply fleet, while the escorting auxiliary fleet approached the main battlefield here while fighting, and then chased the supply fleet from the side, forming a chasing and fleeing situation on the sea.

The remaining eleven ironclad warships fought on the spot with the enemy's main battleship on a wide battlefield seventeen or eight nautical miles away.

As the gunpowder smoke became thicker and thicker, the British with more firepower gained the upper hand. Mo Lin saw that this was not going to work, and then continued to distance himself from the enemy. This side suffers, 39 battleships and more than a dozen steam engines and sailing warships. At least eight battleships have been killed, seven seriously injured, and eleven slightly injured. Over there, one seriously injured, one Slightly injured, but still flexible on the sea, with their rough skin and thick flesh, they carried their attacks, and their firepower could not pose a threat to the enemy at all.

The enemy occasionally swayed at a distance of 700 meters, and then most of the time at a distance of 200 meters, from time to time pulled away to a distance of 350 meters, and even to a distance of 500 meters. At this distance, some solid Bullets can also be hit, but basically there is no damage. You can only hit the enemy's armor with kinetic energy. If you are lucky, you will hit the sailor running on the deck of the enemy ship.

All the damage to the enemy depends on the shells of the 74mm artillery. The caliber of the British 75mm shells causes damage to the enemy, but it is also effective at 200 meters or 1000 meters. Beyond this distance, it hits the enemy. , and it doesn't hurt much.

Compared with the second-type ironclad ship, which canceled the gun gallery artillery, increased the 75mm main gun, and reduced the secondary gun of the 75mm rapid-fire gun, the first-type ironclad ship is still much weaker in terms of firepower, and four [-]mm artillery pieces are not enough to fight against it. enemy.So they can't help the supply fleet for a while, they can only drag the enemy's main fleet here.

Just like this, it can't be delayed much. The loss of the auxiliary fleet over there is as heavy as that of the enemy. Seeing that more than 20 warships are about to be chased and killed by the enemy's huge number of steam engine warships and sail warships, there are not many left. Seven or eight warships are crooked. Yes, try to catch up with the supply fleet, and the supply fleet is trying to counterattack the interception of the enemy's sail warships and some small-tonnage steam engine warships.

Seeing that the supply fleet over there was being harassed severely, and the enemy was chasing after them like flies, Mo Lin knew that he could not let the enemy go on like this. After turning around again, he ordered No. 12 iron-clad ship to protect No. 11 iron-clad ship and cover No. 11 Ironclad ships approached and protected the supply fleet.

The remaining ten ironclad ships continued to rely on their maneuverability and defensive power to withstand the enemy's crazy attack. After a salvo, No. [-] on this side was injured, missing the gun gallery artillery and eight rapid-fire guns in the middle, and the enemy's two ships on the other side The third-class battleship was damaged, and a first-class battleship was hit by a gunpowder barrel, making a violent explosion sound. The explosion caused a [-]-ton sailing ship to be affected and almost overturned, and the enemy lost all at once. The momentum of the four ships suddenly darkened, and the other ships avoided and walked around Mo Lin and the others.

At this time, six first-class battleships have been destroyed, two second-class battleships have been destroyed, three fourth-class battleships have been destroyed, eleven steam engine battleships have been seriously injured, two [-]-ton sailboats have been sunk, and several A [-]-ton steam engine warship and sailing ship were sunk by Molin's ironclad ships. Nearly fifty of the besieged enemy's main fleet were severely damaged. Half of them were either sunk or destroyed. Otherwise, the rest were mostly light Injured, the enemy seemed a little hesitant.

Morin retreated with the remaining ten warships while chasing the auxiliary fleet. Only a few large warships in the auxiliary fleet could survive. The other warships were damaged or captured, and the sunk personnel fell into the water. Now Unable to rescue them, they had to give up because there were too many enemy warships and warships.
