Chapter seven hundred and fifty third victory(1/2)
Okundo commanded twelve warships and fifteen fire ships, quickly approaching the Ming Dynasty fleet, and making aggressive and powerful attacks.
A major beside him looked a little solemn, and said, "General, how could the Ming people have warships? Are those pirates lying to us?"
Okundo had a big beard on his face, his voice was muddy and hoarse, and he said expressionlessly: "This should be the family of Mingren. As long as we defeat it, we can run around the coast. We can have whatever we want, and it is not difficult to occupy a single province of them!"
When the major heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Yes!"
The Spaniards roamed the seas. Although they suffered several losses, their strong strength was still there, so they naturally had stronger confidence. Although the Ming Dynasty fleet seemed to be quite good, they did this one or two times.
Okundo held the telescope in his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Prepare, the arson ship advance!"
"yes!"
Spanish fleets advanced rapidly, and their combat plan was often to use cannons as the main attack force and then assisted by arson ships.
Oqundo is a Spanish general, and he is very skillful in mobilizing it and has a lot of rules.
On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty's navy had no combat experience at all, and only trained and practiced according to the naval training manual, without undergoing actual combat.
As the head coach, Xiong Wencan looked at the Spanish fleet rushing towards him and turned to look at Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian had never used all his theoretical skills. At this moment, he looked at the Spanish fleet and instinctively said: "The fleet is ready to fire the artillery, the small ships are moving forward, and the arrow artillery is ready!"
"yes!"
The speed of the Ming Dynasty fleet slowed down, and the cannons raised their heads one by one.
"fire!"
The flag commander waved the flag and fired directly.
Bang bang bang
Hundreds of cannons fired together, with amazing momentum. The shells flew towards the Spanish fleet several miles away, with a very attractive aura.
At this time, the Spaniards were just preparing, and their cannons had not yet been able to bring the Ming Dynasty fleet into range. Seeing the Ming Dynasty cannons opened, the Spaniards were very surprised.
A major stood on the side of Okun and said in horror: "General, how could the Ming people have better artillery than us? What should I do now?"
Okundo's eyes were gloomy and hummed, saying, "It must be the Portuguese who made up the pieces. I'll kill them all!"
"yes!"
The Spanish fleet advanced rapidly, adjusted the cannons, rushed into the artillery fire of the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
"fire!"
"fire!"
Xiong Wencan watched the Spanish fleet approaching in the telescope and shouted loudly.
The Ming Dynasty fleet had more than 40 more cannons than the Spanish, and there was also a large ship. Even so, Xiong Wencan was still frightened and his face was tense.
On the sea, there is already a sense of insecurity, and it is now infinitely magnified.
Bang bang bang
More than a hundred cannons kept firing, with gunfire filled with smoke, thick smoke rolling, and the sound of cannons shook the sky.
Several Spanish ships were hit and slowed down. Several arson ships exploded directly, shattered into pieces of wooden boards, floating on the sea, red and corpses floating.
The Ming Dynasty's small ships rushed forward quickly, and arrows shot at the arson ships one by one. In the face of superior firepower, the Ming Dynasty took the initiative from the beginning.
Zhu Youjian listened to the sound of cannons and looked at the thick smoke rising in the distance. He remembered a sentence Zhu Xu had said to him: The outcome of the future war will be determined by cannons!
"Fire!" he yelled.
The Ming Dynasty cannons had a long range and were powerful, so there was no reason to lose!
Zhu Youjian felt excited inside, and he kept yelling with a knife on his back.
A cannon fired violently, bombarding the approaching Spanish fleet.
Although more than one hundred cannons were small in the vast sea, they still showed great power in the face of ships. The Spanish fleet caught fire one by one, emitting thick smoke, and several of them were even beginning to sink.
The major beside Okundo was a little nervous and said, "General, the Ming people's artillery is very powerful and cannot continue to move forward."
Okundo said with a free expression and a confident tone, "Don't worry, the Dutch have occupied Taiwan, and the Ming people cannot be strong at the beginning and end. As long as we defeat this fleet, they will surrender. We will have whatever we want!"
The major looked at Okundo and felt at ease. Even though the sound of shells sounded from time to time around, he still flattered, "Your Excellency General said that the Ming people are rich and the islanders are comparable to those who fly far away. If they surrender, we can force them to hand over 10,000 taels of gold, 200,000 silver, and the whole ship of tea, porcelain, silk..."
Okundo smiled and said, "Prepare to fight back, the arson ship accelerates!"
"Yes!" the major shouted.
I don’t know how many times the cannons in the Ming Dynasty were fired. I poured basins of cold water on them, steaming hot, and then continued to fire.
The sound of cannons at sea and the ships were densely packed. The two fleets of forwards had already mixed together and confronted each other.
"Arrow launcher, shoot!"
On the Ming Dynasty small ship, the captain had already taken the battle personally, taking a bow and pulling arrows, and shooting at the Spanish arson ship a hundred meters away.
There is not much gunpowder on the bow and arrow, but it is just right to blow up the wooden boat. As long as it is shot by the bow and arrow, it can blow out a big hole in the wooden boat.
The soldiers on the small ship soon discovered the problem and no longer shot at the ship. They all attacked on the side of the ship. Just a few could blow the ship into water and then sink!
More than twenty small ships, more than one thousand men, and more than one thousand bows and arrows stopped all the Spaniards' arson ships, almost no exception, and they shot them all and then sank.
There are countless people struggling in the sea, calling for help, and there are many corpses, and the blood is stained with redness.
"General, our arson ship cannot pass!"
A major ran over and said in a dirt-faced manner. He was a captain on a fireboat and ran back with half of the boat.
Another captain ran over and said, "General, their arson ship is coming. They have small cannons, which is very dangerous!"
Okundo held the telescope and looked from far to close, frowning. The confidence he had just now disappeared, only a tightly wrinkled face.
Boom boom boom boom
The artillery fire in the Ming Dynasty became increasingly dense, with hundreds of shells flying in the sky, and several shells landing behind Okundo.
Bang
With a few explosions, the entire ship swayed violently, and thick smoke rose, accompanied by screams.
Ao Kundo fell to the ground unsteadily, and several soldiers hurriedly supported him and said, "God General, are you okay?"
Okundo got up, holding onto his hat, his face was already covered in a state of solemnity.
"General, what should I do now? The Ming people's arson ship is coming."
"Their musket range is farther than ours, and there is the arrow launcher, our ship will be blown to sink..."
The crowd was very anxious. The artillery of the Ming Dynasty was too fierce and the arrow artillery that made people feel tooth-pained. If this continues, they will all have to be buried in the sea!
Okundo's big belly was slightly up and down, his face was expressionless but he twitched secretly, but his heart was full of anger of unwillingness.
Just a group of natives, how could he lose!
He turned his head to look with his telescope. His ships were firing in groups of three or three. There were only a few that could be played with, and there were less than sixty cannons that could fire!
Compared with Mingren, his artillery has a short range and a small power. The most important thing is that he has no arson ships, leaving only less than ten warships, of which only six are there!
Such equipment is more than enough to face the natives, but when facing the Ming army better than them, they can only be passively beaten!
The maneuverability of ships is very poor now and there is no tactic at all. At sea, it is a cannon bombardment. Whoever can hold on to the end will be the winner!
"General, their reinforcements have arrived!"
At this moment, a major shouted.
Okundo quickly picked up the telescope and looked behind the Ming Dynasty warship. He saw warships coming here, with no end to see, at least there were hundreds!
"General, let's retreat!" A major put down his telescope and said in a trembling voice. He saw more than a dozen small Ming Dynasty ships coming, some holding guns, some pulling bows, and staring at them.
Okundo frowned into the character "Chuan" and gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"
He knew very well that it would not be possible to withdraw. The Ming Dynasty had the leading advantage in cannons, arrow artillery, and ships, so how could it still be shot?
Although the consequences of his withdrawal are unpredictable, if he does not withdraw, he will definitely die!
The Spanish fleet turned rapidly and turned to run south.
Zhu Youjian and Xiong Wencan kept staring at each other, and said happily as soon as they saw it, "Hurry up, chase!"
Both of them were ecstatic, worried and cautious, but they never expected that the naval battle was like this, and the Francophones were so vulnerable!
"By the way, divide the troops south to support Anping City!" At this time, Zhu Youjian was still a little rational and hurriedly said again.
Xiong Wencan woke up and ordered a division of troops. A fleet of fifty ships headed south. He led his main force to pursue the Franz fleet.
The large ship is too bulky and not suitable for chasing. The medium ship and the small ship are the main force. The medium ship fires guns to deter them, and the small cannons are fully tempted to attack with arrows.
The ship where Okundo is located is trembling from time to time, and has been caught by several small ships and is attacking with arrow launchers.
"General, this is not a solution. The Ming people's arson ships have been biting us. Muskets and cannons do not work!" a major said terrified.
The small ship is one hundred meters away, and the cannons are useless. If the musket is musket, the arrow artillery opposite is even more powerful. It is just a target while standing, and it is not even possible to change the bullets while lying down.
Okundo frowned, his confidence and calmness had long disappeared. Looking at the Ming Dynasty fleet chasing and biting tightly, he said in a hoarse voice: "Let the two ships intersperse horizontally, stop the Ming Dynasty fleet, let us get out!"
"yes!"
A major responded, and two ships turned urgently and rushed towards the small ship in front of the Ming Dynasty, as if they were about to sank them.
"Reduce, turn, arrow attack!"
The small ship responded quickly and had to temporarily stop chasing the largest one to deal with the two that hit.
To be continued...
