After the naval battle began, when the unique big iron ship in the world emerged from the formation of the Great China Fleet, when it first showed its majestic posture to the world, I really don’t know how many people were shocked. chin! Even regardless of the enemy and me! Many people's eyes are dull!
Because of what they saw, this is a pure black steel boat made of steel and full of strength and beauty under the sunlight!
Even after the boat appeared, whether it was Zheng Zhilong's or the proud British guy, his eyes would stare out! how can that be? How can steel that sinks in water be used to build ships? This is common sense that all children know! But the scene before them has subverted their cognition!
Even no matter which one of them is, they have been dealing with sea ships for a lifetime, and can deeply understand the meaning behind this! If this is really a big ship made entirely of iron knots, is there any suspense in this battle
Take the British, no matter how many shells they have and no matter how precise their shooting skills, can they break through the defenses of the big iron ship? In other words, just staged a hopeless battle? Come to a battle of honor for Don Quixote to challenge the windmill
So at this time, on the British ship, the pastor on the ship began to draw a cross on his chest, and he said something in his mouth, hoping that the Almighty God can manifest and destroy this devil ship! (Because in his opinion, this is a ship that should not appear in the world! It must be sent by the devil Satan!)
It's just that his prayers didn't take effect, and the big iron ship was still approaching them constantly!
It was Dilnando, the British commander, who was still awake despite his extreme shock. He suddenly shouted: "Don't panic! God has not abandoned England! I see this big iron ship. It must be fake! It's just a thin layer of iron on the outside! It's still wood inside! So it's all bluffing!"
"Or even if he is all steel! So what? How much speed can such a heavy ship have? So lads don't panic, we still have a chance!"
Then the British who had been stunned under his staff felt right... or the commander is insightful! And no matter what kind of situation he said, they still have a chance! So suddenly, they came alive again!
And I have to say that at this time Britain is in a period of transformation of the world's hegemon, and its national power is rising day by day! The sailors on these ships were carefully selected, representing the highest level of the British Navy at this time!
To advertise, the book reading app I am using recently has a lot of books, full of books, and fast updates!
So once the confidence is restored, I will strictly follow the daily training method, start to use the T-shaped tactics, place a large number of shells, and prepare to give a severe lesson to this fake big iron ship!
It was April at this time, and the wind was beautiful, but on the open sea, the wind was still relatively strong, so the two sides were approaching quickly at this time! Just like those Galen boats of the British, they are now hoisting all the sails at a speed of about eight knots. (About 15 kilometers per hour)
It's just the next scene that has subverted their cognition again. The speed of the British is already the fastest in this era! But what about this big iron ship of Yang Shanlu? Fifteen knots in full speed! Almost twice as fast! Of course, this is also very obvious. Yang Shanlu's big iron ship is mainly powered by steam engines, coupled with sail assistance, can it not be fast!
So in this way, under the horrified gaze of those British people, the'Shichang' rumbling and killing them!
Then after easily catching up with a Galen ship of the British, a volley of artillery fired and killed a Galen ship easily! And as long as the target the Shichang is aiming at, the opponent can't escape if they want to... One is the speed of the infantry and the other is the speed of the cavalry. Can it still run away
Even facing such a desperate situation, the British can't do a decisive counterattack!
To say that these carefully selected British gunners have quite good shooting skills. At this time, they found that since they could not escape, they launched a decisive blow... The gunners on the ship fired desperately at the Shichang. of!
But the question is can it be useful? Tick an elephant, can the elephant feel it? It's like now, all the shells hit, without exception, are bounced off! You know if you hit a wooden boat, you can make a big hole if you are lucky! But now
Even after these British gunners played super level and miraculously hit seven or eight shells, the best effect was only to leave a shallow white spot on the shell of the "Shichang", so this Despair... At this moment these British guys want to curse God!
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"
After seeing this scene, Zheng Zhilong's subordinates cheered... You know, they had suffered a lot from these British guys before, but now? Seeing the Daming Navy, who was also a coalition army, taught these British guys so happily and avenged them, everyone cheered happily.
Even the old thief Zheng Zhilong was happy and surprised when he saw it... The big iron ship is so magical, it is certain to eliminate these British guys! But the surprise is that Yang Shanlu holds such a sharp weapon, what should he do if he changes hands to deal with him in the future
Even the more the old thief thinks about his face, the more ugly... Because he knows very well that the big iron boat of Yang Shanlu can bully these Western devils like adults bully children, so if you want to attack him, you can also relax. carry out!
Because this kind of technology has exceeded the limit of quantity! It's like saying that although the opponent has only one big iron ship, it can be one enemy to one hundred! Because you can't break his defense at all! So even if you send out hundreds of ships on a thousand ships, that is a dead word!
Then the old thief understood why the Cyclops was wiped out in the battle of Matsu Island that day, because this is a big ship that shouldn't exist in this world at all!
However, Yang Shanlu was very satisfied when he saw that a few bullets had already wiped out a big British boat.
Of course, this is exactly what he wants to achieve... Since the old thief Zheng Zhilong is also on the scene, including an important opponent in the future, the British guy is also there, so there is no need to hide his secret weapon... The most powerful Isn’t the weapon that is meant to be tested on the enemy? Now it seems that the effect is very good.
It's just such a scene, for the remaining British guys, it's like falling into hell... It makes them cold! My God, there are such terrible ships in this world? Or is this really a ship sent by the devil Satan? It's really a big iron ship!
Even at this time, Dilnando, the British commander, was deeply regretful... because Yang Shanlu had warned him before and gave him a chance, but he didn't listen, as it became a breeze.
And now, is it time to taste the bitter fruit? Even if this was during the last naval battle, if he knew that there was this big iron ship, he would definitely not take this risk today! But now, the big mistake has been made, and it is too late to regret it!
At this time, the'Shichang' is still hunting down his prey in an orderly manner, and the remaining British are also anxiously looking at their commander and said: "Your Excellency, what should we do? Don't think about it anymore. The way, our heroic expeditionary fleet will be wiped out!"
"What else can I do! England requires everyone to fulfill their duties!" Dirnand smiled sadly: "As a warrior of the British Empire, you can only raise the flag of Saint George! A fight to the death!"
Saint George is the legendary dragon-slaying warrior in Europe. His bravery and loyalty have become a symbol of chivalry for a long time! So now Dilnando is determined to raise the flag of Saint George, telling his opponents and other friendly ships that he will fight to the end and never back down!
So the next moment, on the flagship where Dinando was, a blood-red pennant was rising! At the same time, the performance of the British sailors on this ship was a little abnormal, it was a kind of tragic and tragic!
Then the next moment, the British fleet, which was a little panicked, saw the flag of St. George raised on the flagship, and it became stable, and even the flag of St. George was raised without exception... For the honor of the queen, it was a deadly battle. in the end!
"The St. George flag was actually raised? It's a man! It's a pity that it's still a pirate!"
The meaning of this flag is certainly not unfamiliar to Yang Shanlu, because it symbolizes the honor of the British Imperial Navy, which will remain the same for later generations.
Even Yang Shanlu can see through the telescope, under the blood-red flag, the British commander who has met before is standing proudly, even facing the threat of death, still commanding the battle unhurriedly!
"It's a man! Then use the highest courtesy of the navy to send him on the road!" In the face of such a warrior, Yang Shanlu still had some respect, so under his instructions, the'Shichang' began to slow down and march forward. To the side of the opponent, keep the hulls of both sides parallel, and then a dozen artillery roared together, aiming at the British flagship!
—The British flagship Shengzi, sinking in battle.
Including the next, under the chase of the Shichang, any British ship should not even want to run away! As a result, there is no more suspense on the battlefield. Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, including the big ships of the Great China Fleet, witnessed such a scene. The entire British fleet launched an attack on a big iron ship! Desperate offense! Don Quixote attack!
And the final result is that a fleet of thirty large ships, all sunk! In addition to rescuing some prisoners who fell into the water, the British's first exploration of the East, a Far East fleet composed of elites, all land and sink!
In such a battle, Yang Shanlu also achieved the results he wanted... He severely hit the enemy and frightened Zheng Zhilong!
And the effect of this battle seems to be very good. Until the entire British fleet was wiped out, the old thief Zheng Zhilong and his men were still in a state of brain crash, stupidly stupefied. In my dream! Including seeing Yang Shanlu rescue a prisoner who fell into the water, they didn't dare to put a fart!
If it were in the past, they had suffered a lot in this battle, and they would definitely kill the prisoners to vent their anger, but now... no one dared to say a word! Even the valiant performance of the Shichang ship is probably a memory they will never forget for a lifetime!
At this time, the overall situation of the battlefield has been determined. After the battlefield has been thoroughly cleaned and nearly a hundred British prisoners have been rescued (these people will still be useful when they land on the British Isles), Yang Shanlu then thought about it. Said: "Zheng Zhilong came to see you!"
The so-called choosing a day is not as good as hitting the sun. Now I just hit Zheng Zhilong, and let him learn the Tianwei of the Great China Fleet, so I just called him over and solved his problem completely!
And one naval battle can solve two enemies. Isn't this a very pleasant thing? (End of this chapter)
