Chapter 1425 The Battle of Chashan (2)

ps: Thanks to book friend "Muyu Wanfeng" for his monthly votes.

Napur became a deputy commander in the joint fleet, because it was for the face of the old woman in Great Britain, otherwise, she would be a foil that was ignored.

Of course, another important reason is that the largest part of this joint fleet is the Red Hair. The Red Hair (Portuguese) who have been stole from Dongfan Island for many years. They have the halo of "sea overlords" on their heads. Although they are now challenged by the newly emerging English, in the East China Sea, it is obvious that the power of English is not as powerful as that of Honghai.

At the same time, the red-haired ghost also distrusts the English people. Facing the British who dares to challenge themselves, the red-haired people may be far more vigilant towards them than Wu Zheng.

But no matter how hostility and vigilance are, the will of both sides are consistent in provoking and attacking Hangzhou Prefecture.

Because a powerful China is definitely not conducive to the interests of these extras. The most direct thing is that Wu Zheng's tariffs, which started from 50%, touched their fundamental interests.

However, although their navy was powerful, they could travel thousands of miles to Asia. In order to get rich, they did not have enough troops to conquer this land that made them salivate.

Therefore, in the past three or four years, they have hidden their fangs and relaxed the general's guardian with the appearance of a good boy.

This incident of forced material collection at the port is actually just an excuse.

No matter how large the material loss is, it is not enough to set up a joint fleet, and to go to war with a powerful regime tens of thousands of miles away from the land.

What's more, on the premise that Wu Zheng has even agreed to compensation for the original price, this is obviously not a matter of claiming, but rather that Wu Zheng's "unfair" tariffs must be completely abolished in one battle.

When the commander of the United Fleet and British Kerry Thorne heard that the fleet forward was attacked by the enemy, he quickly ordered the main force to press forward, and at the same time sent the fleet forward to implement the "queuing and shooting" tactic.

....

Napur was in pain.

The weather is not very good, and heavy fog affects the view of the lookout.

He keenly felt that the enemy in front of him did not intend to have a fair and dignified showdown with him, but was like a slippery loach, specifically attacking people without any precautions.

At this time, both sides were running in an oblique ellipse, and both sides were scrambling to gain the upper hand.

But because the navy had the initiative at the beginning, the enemy had the initiative that could not be reversed for a short time, it sank an enemy ship, causing four enemy ships to catch fire.

The most important thing is that Napur discovered that the speed of the enemy ship seemed to be so... a little faster than his own warship?

It was out of this concern that when the order from British Kerry Thorne came, Nable made an exception and carefully executed the order.

Thirty enemy battleships immediately got off the anchor and stopped the ship, with black gun barrels on the gun positions on the side of the ship.

The small and medium-sized warships behind them quickly crossed forward and stood in front of the main battleship, which was also lined up, that is, the front and back front lines.

Then, in this case, there are only two choices for the seven main battleships that Shi Lang came out. One is to continue attacking until they are all sunk. The other is to retreat quickly and retreat beyond the range of the enemy's side gun. This time is because the navy warships have maintained a constant speed, and the enemy ship has already stopped the ship.

However, the navy warship chose the first path.

Crazy?

If Wu Zheng was present, these three words must be the same in his heart.

The reason why the Battle of Chashan was recorded in history after the war was not because Shi Lang's Zhoushan fleet sank many enemy ships, but because it created a kind of tactic, naval battle tactic.

At this time, the naval battle was almost no longer as prosperous as before due to the large assembly of heavy artillery.

There is almost no possibility to get close to a warship with hundreds of artillery. The only way to defeat it is to sink!

Can the seven navy battleships sink enemy ships several times their own?

How many ships can be sunk?

Isn't this a joke?

As the enemy ships were anchored and were preparing to fire the boat, the seven naval battleships attacked head-on. This behavior cannot be described as crazy. This is... suicide!

Is it suicide?

Twelve miles.

Napur was surprised, and then realized happily that the yellow people on the opposite side obviously would not fight at sea. So, let the great British Navy commander Napur teach them how to fight at sea!

"Fire the gun!" Napur issued the most powerful volley order in this battle with a strong voice.

Have you ever seen hail?

At this time, the shells that fell to the navy's main ship were like hail.

Seven ships, three rows, and finished warships rushed towards the enemy's formation. In an instant, three were hit by dense shells, one of which shot seven shots in a row, burning into a ball of fire, and breaking down.

The six ships still maintained their highest speed and charged towards the enemy's formation.

Napur was even more surprised, with a hint of appreciation in his surprise, but more contempt. No matter how powerful a mad bull is, he has to surrender under the red cloth of the bullfighter!

Napur issued the most wisest order in this battle, but it was also the order he did not want and disdain the most, "Tear the sail of the yellow monkey!"

Red-haired likes to attack British sails, so that the opponent loses the speed of attack and pursuit.

The British are more arrogant and like to fire at the enemy's deck as soon as possible, wash the floor with dense shells, and destroy the enemy's gun positions.

The two types of shells used are completely different. One is an ordinary shell, which aims to break through the hull of the ship, and the other is a chain shell, which aims to tear the sails.

Napur was a British guy and liked to go straight, but he was an alternative, so at this time, Napur followed the example of Red Hair and ordered the attack on the Navy's sail.

With the loud roars of hundreds of heavy artillery, the sails on the navy warship that rushed forward within ten miles instantly became sieves. No, they should be broken sieves.

But the warship still did not stop and moved forward with inertia.

Napur smiled proudly, I killed the knife and made fish!

I don’t know where he learned such a Chinese language, but at this time, he is really appropriate.

No matter how much he smiled, Napur would never be kind. Just as he ordered the three-year-old to sink the six enemy ships in front of him, a change occurred.

The lookout on the mast shouted in a shrill, desperate tone, "Fireship..."

Fireboat?

Napur was a little surprised for a moment. He was too familiar with the fire ship. This was a suicide attacking boat. It was common on the European battlefield and it was actually not difficult to crack. The small and medium-sized warships in front of the main battleship were enough to handle them.

However, is that really a simple fireboat?

Obviously not. Shi Lang was not stupid enough to attack these giant warships with primitive fire ships, not to mention that the enemy had hundreds of small and medium-sized warships blocking the enemy's main battleships.

How many fire ships are there?

Not many, two hundred and forty ships.

Due to the heavy fog, these "fire ships" were not discovered by the enemy's lookout and warned until they appeared twenty miles away.
