Chapter 597： naval battle
"That steam engine has increased too much speed. Their ship speed is at least half faster. How can this be done?"
The Spanish observer complained.
"Fortunately, the range of their artillery is not much farther than ours, otherwise it would be even worse."
On the other ship, British observations are also recording the performance data of Chinese ships.
"This kind of steam engine, our British Empire must also have."
British Rear Admiral William clenched his fist. As a naval officer, he naturally longed for a steam engine.
"Yes, this is a necessary prerequisite for us to dominate the sea, and this steam engine must be obtained at all costs."
Said the British Viscount Johnson who was travelling with him.
"Now there is an opportunity. As long as the Portuguese defeat the Dahua navy, we can intervene in mediation and force the Dahua navy to surrender the secret of the steam engine."
William smiled, he had already thought of a trick.
If they hadn't had their fleets running around the world, he wouldn't have to think of such a method, he would just transfer the navy to grab them.
The British royal pirates are not infamous.
"Then we can only pray for the Portuguese to compete. I guess it will be very difficult for them to win."
Johnson smiled. Outsiders like them are in a great mood to laugh.
At this time, the Portuguese who were at war were all caught in tension.
Dahua’s artillery sounded first, and in the first round of firing, one of them was lucky and landed on a capital ship in Portugal.
Then, they saw the difference of Dahua Cannonball.
Dahua’s shells caused unexpectedly small damage to the hull, and even the deck did not smash.
However, this shell will explode.
The soldiers around the shells were the first to taste this taste.
"Fire, fight back."
Menges ordered that the Portuguese artillery began to fire.
Then, they were embarrassed.
The experience of their gunners is still in the past.
Because ships are constantly moving, artillery battles on the sea require calculation of advances. Instead of aiming at the enemy's ship to fight, it calculates the course and speed of the opponent's ship, and then fires the cannon into the empty space.
In the end, it is difficult to tell whether the shell hit the ship or the ship voluntarily hit the shell.
In short, they need to predict, estimate, and advance their shots.
All these require extensive experience.
In the past, the Portuguese navy was used to fighting people who were slow. Suddenly, it encountered an opponent who was a fast thief.
There is no way, they can only slowly adapt and adjust, and before that, they can only rely on quantity to try their luck.
Anyway, they have a lot of artillery, hundreds of them fired at once.
The raindrops of cannonballs blockade the area where the Dahua Navy is advancing, and there can always be cannonballs that can hit.
Of course, this hit rate is lower than their previous hit rate, and lower than Dahua's hit rate.
In the artillery battle, they suffered a great loss.
However, Menges did not feel that he was defeated because of this.
Dahua’s artillery can only kill their soldiers, but the damage to the hull is very light.
And their shells are actually very destructive to wooden warships.
As long as they can hit a few more shots, they can sink the Chinese warships.
When the ship is gone, someone can only wait to be captured.
Of course, the premise is that before they sink the Chinese army, they should not collapse first because of the heavy casualties of the soldiers.
Dahua's howitzer is not a joke about the lethality of the soldiers.
With just a few shots on a ship, the soldiers would suffer most of the deaths and injuries.
Their ability to withstand casualties is just that.
One can imagine the ability of its soldiers to withstand casualties in a country that is accustomed to solving problems through negotiation.
Weiss, a capital ship in Portugal.
Less than ten minutes into the battle, the soldiers above tried to escape before the artillery on both sides fired a few rounds.
Because of their bad luck on this ship, they were hit by three shells in one breath.
The total number of soldiers on the ship was 130. These three shells wounded 18 of them and 26 wounded. The casualty rate directly exceeded one-third.
How can you fight this? At this rate, the entire boat will be gone for another half an hour.
Ever since, their ship couldn't help but slowed down, and they were afraid.
The dead daoists do not die the poor dao, they want other people to go first.
The other ships were not as unlucky as the Weiss, but the ones that rushed in front were more or less hit by a shot, causing greater casualties.
In this case, Mencius did not find out in time, after all, communication between ships is not easy.
He must always pay attention to the overall situation of the entire battlefield, and he has no time to take into account the casualties of a single ship.
At this time, Menges eagerly hoped that the divided part could be blocked and approached to the Chinese army in the front, and then carried out a jump fight, or close-range shooting, competing for consumption.
"Commander, shall we bypass the fleet in front or rush to fight?"
At this time, Bao Shunan is also facing a choice.
He doesn't have much time to think, after all, bypassing it requires preparation in advance, and hesitated for a while, I am afraid that there will be no chance.
"Rush over and scare them all at once."
Bao Shunan said that he decided to take risks and wanted a quick fight.
Because they are about to encounter a cannonball crisis.
After another hour or two of fighting, their shells will be finished. This is a major hidden danger.
And if you continue to shoot at the enemy at a long distance, this naval battle may not end in another two hours.
When there are no shells, they can only rely on hand-to-hand combat, and they are definitely not the opponents of the Portuguese.
Therefore, he can only adopt a radical and risky strategy.
Directly rushed to the fleet trying to intercept him, and then the two sides fired each other at close range.
In this way, they can kill and wound a large number of enemies in a very short period of time.
However, they will also suffer from a large number of shells, and are more likely to be shot or even sink a ship.
At present, several of their ships have been shot. Fortunately, the shots were all on the deck, not the side of the waterline.
Therefore, the temporary problem is not very big.
But if the two sides get too close, they will inevitably have to pay the price of a few sunken ships.
Bao Shunan made a decision, and the semaphore was played on the battleship Jiujiang.
Ever since, they took the initiative to intercept their Portuguese squad, keeping an angle and rushing over.
The Portuguese squadron was worried that the Chinese army would escape with speed, but it didn't expect the Chinese army to come over, and it was naturally full of joy.
They also want to make a quick fight, and it is easy to change things if they fight for too long.
God knows whether the Spanish or the British will suddenly pick peaches, neither of those two countries is a good thing.
