Lord of Ming Dynasty

But today's fleet is obviously much smaller, with only 120 warships, and there are no transport ships or armed merchant ships, all of which are warships above destroyers.

Yesterday, the destroyers and frigates of the Third Coast Guard were reorganized and deployed, and the captives and mercenary troops were quickly reorganized. The captured sailors of the new Qin State, especially the Han sailors, were assigned to the destroyers and frigates. Forty destroyers, thirty frigates, thirty main battleships, seven cruisers, and twenty new main battleships were ordered.

Before the blue fog cleared on the sea, the fleet of the New Qin State had already formed its formation and waited about twenty nautical miles away. Zhang Siyuan frowned. It was a bit weird today. He ordered the destroyers to disperse. Scout both sides and behind the enemy fleet to prevent ambushes.

The frigates only rely on the main fleet to cover the main fleet, while the new main battleships cover behind and take on the task of supervising and commanding the battle.

An hour later, the two sides arrived at the battle area and began to fight. The other party obviously didn't have many warships that could fight, but there were more than 22 warships, including [-] main battleships, eight cruisers, twenty frigates, and about ten destroyers. The situation is clear that the enemy is playing tricks.

But the fight has already started, and the two sides have nothing to say or test. The frigates and destroyers rushed up, and the cruisers also attracted the enemy's cruisers as support.

The 150 10mm artillery shells cleared several main enemy battleships that broke through the barriers, but within [-] minutes, the new Qin State did not dare to attack here, and fought against the main battleships and frigates of the New Huaxia Kingdom over there.

After fighting for an hour, Zhang Siyuan found that their battlefield had gradually moved fifteen or sixteen nautical miles to the deep sea of ​​the Atlantic Ocean, and was now more than 30 nautical miles away from the coastline, and the new Qin State was still retreating step by step.

The destroyer fleet sent back a telegram an hour and a half later, two super fleets were outflanking on both sides, one was outflanking the rear, and the other was attacking from the Spanish side. It seems that the Wunan Fleet of the New Qin State has merged with the British .

The enemy looked menacing, the destroyer squadron was almost submerged in the huge fleet of enemy warships, [-] of the forty destroyers were trapped in the enemy's huge auxiliary fleet, and the enemy's main battleship ignored them at all.

Seeing so many enemies coming, Zhang Siyuan quickly ordered Zhang Yuan to take over the command of the main battleships over there with [-] battleships and [-] frigates, and then let the remaining cruisers and [-] frigates go to face the fleet pressing up from behind the enemy. I have [-] new main battleships to face the enemy's fleet from the direction of Spain and the north of the Atlantic Ocean.

They were flanked by the enemy's superior forces on three sides. It seems that the British have been planning for a long time.

The first thousand 660 chapter four after the panic

The situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable for the New China Kingdom. Because of the inertia of thinking, Zhang Siyuan did not consider the return of the New Qin Congress, and thus fell into their ambush. He also did not expect that the New Qin Wunan Fleet would cooperate with the enemy.

He previously believed that the New Qin State was still hostile to the British no matter what, even if the pro-British faction, the Compromise faction, and the Harmony faction had grown in the New Qin State, and at the same time affected the new Qin State’s national policy. I don’t want to fight, I don’t want to go to war, and at the same time I am afraid of long-term consumption with the British, or seeing the benefits of the Westerners, or being fooled by the British, and I haven’t openly negotiated peace with the enemy, shook hands with the enemy, or formed an alliance. Let him see that the two have joined forces to defend against the enemy?

And the enemies they fought were their compatriots, the Han Kingdom, how much hatred there is.

Yes, when some people are unable to defeat the enemy, they always complain that the people in their group are too heroic, just like the heroes of later generations who save people. Heroes should not save people. Because of saving people, you violated the law, so you Violating morality, being accused by thousands of people, being blackmailed, just because you are too outstanding, you should not do the right thing, now it seems that he continues to uphold the Western hegemony that the new Qin State originally resisted the British, and continues to continue the Eastern Han Chinese to oppress the West The actions of people's living space hinder some people's desire to enjoy happiness and power, so their hatred for the New China Kingdom is almost like murder, and they want to drink blood. Cutting off people's wealth is like murdering their parents. People definitely don't want to.

He didn't expect his own people to be so decisive, so he was ambushed as soon as he came out today.

It took only three hours for the 120 warships to come out today, but half of the warships have been lost. Although many of them are the destroyer squadrons that were scouting and exploring the way ahead, as well as the frigate fleet that intercepted the British fleet in the front, and at the same time, there are also those who have been attacked by Xinqin. A fleet of cruisers entangled by American cruisers.

But the warships here are already all the main warships of the New China Kingdom, while the enemy has nearly 100 warships. Although the enemy's losses are not small, the enemy lost more than 60 auxiliary warships in the three-hour battle. There are more than 400 warships, but the enemy still has more than [-] warships. Now the main combat opponent has been replaced by the British super fleet.

However, the main combat task was replaced by a quick retreat to break through the enemy's encirclement.

The 20 battleships led by more than 20 battleships in the main fleet led by Zhang Yuan, and the twenty new main battleships led by Zhang Siyuan desperately intercepted the enemy. Two hours later, after the enemy narrowed the encirclement, they finally opened up in the rear. A total of forty warships successfully broke through a channel, and the other warships were either seriously injured and captured or sunk. Among them were several cruisers, but they were not without results. They severely damaged the enemy's cruiser fleet again before. Sinking more than five of the enemy's main warships reduced the number of the main warships of the New Qin Kingdom from more than [-] to sixteen. With forty warships, it can be said that the Wunan Fleet has also been disabled. To restore its strength, it must mobilize warships from the mainland of New Qin or other places to supplement it.

The last to break out was Zhang Siyuan's [-] new main battleships. They had been covering the breakout at the end, and finally broke through from the encirclement encircled by the enemy at a critical moment, and returned to the port an hour later.

After returning to the port, the warships were repaired urgently, reloading the shells and replacing the damaged barrels and bases, and repairing the hull of the warships, and then sent the wounded and dead to the port hospital to replenish human resources. For reorganization, due to the shortage of troops, all warships, except the new main battleships, vigorously used mercenaries, of course, mercenaries with previous experience in naval warfare.

In this battle, another 1 mercenaries and more than 8000 captives serving on warships were lost. Some Sudanese natives, Han sailors and officers and soldiers even lost more than [-] people. Since it was a defeat, the lost personnel may not be recovered. They will definitely be captured by the enemy, and together with yesterday's loss, a total of [-] sailors were lost in two days, so they had to come from nearby port transport ships or patrol ships, or sailors from the port to replenish their forces.

The turrets in the port had already started to roar, and the enemy was chasing after them. When the fleet entered the port, the battle had already begun. In less than two hours, the enemy was sunk. The soldier's sailboat, a transport ship, fought fiercely. The coastal defense artillery quickly approached the coast to set up a position, and used army cannons to bombard the densely packed fleet of warships on the enemy's sea.

After five hours of fighting, the sky gradually darkened, and the enemy's attack began to become chaotic. After another three hours, after dark, the enemy fleet retreated.

Zhang Yuan walked into Zhang Siyuan's headquarters in Tangier Port, "General, we lost a total of 220 ships in two days, more than 150 warships of one type, more than 60 transport ships and armed merchant ships, and more than 7 troops. Among them, more than 6 mercenaries and prisoners were lost. In addition, in today's port artillery battle, 34 cannons from the mercenary artillery regiment were lost, and seven shore artillery pieces from the shore artillery regiment were lost. The loss of troops was more than 3000. The prisoners on land lost 200 people, and another [-] prisoners rioted and were suppressed by the cavalry regiment.

These people were all executed, and a new mercenary regiment composed of 100 Spaniards, British and Prussians took the opportunity to capture a small town, and then retreated to the nearby mountains. Surrounded by the mercenary brigade stationed nearby, these people were all wiped out. For this reason, we executed more than 1000 Spanish immigrants who supported them, and more than 3000 Spanish and British prisoners. In addition, the Han brigade in the port lost 200 people Many people, including 75 non-commissioned officers. "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Siyuan, Zhang Siyuan was a little tired, lying in the chair and looking out the window, "Order the Han Chinese regiments and Han people from all over the country to travel, and at the same time mobilize the Han people to start monitoring mercenaries and foreign people everywhere, and issue martial law. The quasi-Spanish immigrants and captives took to the streets or wandered casually in the camp area. The Han brigade took over the civil and military departments of various places, ordered the mercenaries from all over the place to obey the dispatch of the Han officers, ordered Lieutenant Colonel Baozi to sit in the port of Bensu, and called all warships and warships capable of fighting. Arm transport and merchant ships, form a new fleet, and prevent the enemy from attacking various ports. The coastal defense artillery regiments in various places are not allowed to rest, and they are guarding their posts day and night. Even if the enemy comes, they must stick to it even if they hit a single soldier."

"Then, general, how do we fight back against the enemy, is it not a thing to hide in the port?" Zhang Yuan asked worriedly.

The first thousand and 660 chapters and seven raids on Weshal Island

In fact, the British put the African colonial fleet here, which still meant to surround and blockade the Azov Islands of the new Qin Kingdom, and at the same time block the connection between the New China Kingdom and the new Dingyang Prefecture, but they never thought that Zhang Siyuan and the others would go to sneak attack However, there is a distance of more than 1000 kilometers between the two, which is almost [-] nautical miles. It takes two and a half days to travel at a full speed of [-] knots, and it takes five days to go back and forth.

That is to say, it will take six days to fight together. During this time, Zhang Siyuan can't guarantee that the British or the Wunan Fleet of the Azov Islands of the New Qin Kingdom will not continue to attack the port or find them intercepting them halfway.

After resting for an hour, after nine o'clock, the fleet moved forward at full speed, at a speed of [-] knots. This is the speed of main battleships and new main battleships and frigates. If destroyers are brought along, the speed may have to be reduced to [-] or [-] knots. The speed of the destroyer is [-] knots. Because of many battles and injuries, or the original maximum speed is only [-] knots, the speed of the destroyer cannot keep up with the main force of the fleet. Therefore, Zhang Siyuan cannot take them out. They guard the port.

Three days later, at around 50 o'clock in the evening, the frigate began to deploy. Three teams circled Veshal Island to scout the sea area with a radius of [-] nautical miles, and found out the enemy's patrol fleet, the number of enemy fleets, and the enemy's movements. The enemy was unprepared, Zhang Siyuan ordered the fleet to rest for an hour, overhaul the battleship, eat, and make final preparations. They were still more than [-] nautical miles away from Veshal Island, and they had to rush over in one go.

Four hours later, the sea wind was very strong at night, and the fleet tossed and turned on the waves. Most people really couldn't stand firm on the deck. However, after many sea battles, the sailors of the New China Kingdom, who had been trained by sailors for several years, still stood firm. Post, observing the surroundings meticulously, the fleet has arrived at Vesal Island, Vesal Island is very small, and the battleship artillery can hit from one side to the other without the maximum range.

So it is very beneficial to the defensive side from time to time. Of course, there are many shoals and hidden reefs around the island, which is also a nightmare for attackers. Therefore, the warships slow down and spread out to avoid colliding with other warships in an emergency action and turning around. Or go straight into the reef.

After the fleet was launched, Zhang Siyuan said to the adjutant beside him: "Order the frigate to fire a salvo of flares, and the other warships will load their shells and start the test firing."

Ten minutes later, countless roars suddenly erupted from around Weshaer, and flares rose into the sky. The flares were conceived and developed by Zhang Siyuan in the Second Squadron of the Coast Guard of the New Qin State after Zhang Siyuan crossed over. It was designed for naval battles, but it was a pity that there was no time to perfect it. It was not handed over to the technicians under him for development until it arrived at the port of Ceuta. The development was completed in the last half a month and equipped with warships, so there is no flare bomb in this era. They are also used for the first time.

After the flare was lifted into the air, the Vishal Island, which is only a dozen kilometers long and five or six kilometers wide, will be illuminated brightly. All the enemy warships in the port will appear. Before the flare falls, each warship will start to observe the enemy's position and coordinates. In less than 3 minutes, while the enemy was still wondering, the artillery here had already begun to roar.

The moving fleet fired its guns while approaching two nautical miles from the enemy's port. Some of the main battleships projected their firepower to the enemy's shore artillery batteries, some of them projected their firepower to the patrol ships around the enemy, and only a very small part of them directed their firepower Projected into the port, and the firepower of the 21 new main battleships are all projected into the port.
