Several people suddenly crawled out of the sub-ships of those sub-mother ships. They were on every ship. These people climbed from the sub-ships onto the mother ship with three clicks on the swaying hull, and then without hesitation
After cutting the rope connecting the sub-ship and the mother ship, the speed of the mother ship increased a lot without the load of the sub-ship.
"Death!" Qian Wubing muttered to himself, his voice almost only heard by himself.
The greatest significance of the existence of the sub-ship is to ensure that the soldiers who drive the ship and those who light the fire can safely escape from danger. Those soldiers who climbed onto the mother ship actually cut not the ropes, but their lifelines. When they climbed on
The moment the mother ship abandoned the daughter ship, they actually had no hope of ever returning.
The wind was really strong, Qian Wubing blinked hard.
The mother ship put down its baggage and moved forward lightly, and quickly bit the stern of the Spanish warship. The sharp iron thorns on the bow pierced into the hull of the ship, destroying the piles of gunpowder, firewood and other igniting objects.
The mother ship was tightly connected with the Spanish warship, and then, in Qian Wubing's sight, it turned into a gorgeous firework.
One, two, three or four.
The Spanish fleet also turned around at this time, and the six huge warships in front of them, which were twice or even three times their size, were finally on a front that both sides were satisfied with - parallel to each other, and
They are all within the opponent's firing range. As for the mother-and-carrying ships that are much smaller than them, they are obviously not their biggest threat. Although a large part of the mother-carrying ships are also under their guns, the Spanish warships
Almost none of the cannons were aimed at them.
The roar of cannons rang out, one after another, from Spanish warships and Ming Dynasty warships. These cannons were heard not only by Qian Wubing but also in the most remote corners of Quanzhou City.
Clearly.
About every ironclad ship, there are three to four Spanish warships taking care of it. This is determined by the position of the ship. In terms of combat command, it is obvious that the Spanish Navy has a command system that has been verified in countless naval battles. Their firepower distribution
It was very even, and there was definitely not a single armored ship that was not covered by their firepower. Looking at the orders coming from the flagship commanding from behind on the battlefield, they would not be allowed to make such a mistake.
If these ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty are solid fortresses, the Spanish warships are the soldiers who wander around the fortresses, trying to break through these fortresses. It is a pity that the weapons in their hands are not suitable for such fortresses.
It's really a bit overwhelming.
The artillery on the ironclad ship fires about once every three minutes, and the cannons newly equipped on the Spanish warships can fire at the fastest one minute. In other words, the time it takes for a cannon on the ironclad ship to fire out is enough for these Spanish warships.
It was enough to fire three cannons, and the number of Spanish warships was three to four times that of the ironclads - there seemed to be no great suspense about the outcome.
"Damn it!" St. Anqi was on the flagship behind and clearly saw the results of the shelling of his fleet. The shells hit the opponent's hull one after another. Some of them made shallow holes, and some simply made small holes.
There was no hole at all, it directly hit the opponent's hull and dented it, and then there was a pop.
, fell into the sea, and the exciting destructive power when it just swept the small fleet could not be seen at all! Only the shells that hit the opponent's gun barrel will cause damage to the enemy, but the distance is several
The probability of directly hitting the opponent's gun body at 100 meters is really too small.
And unless the cannonballs fired by the opponent miss, they will hit the body of your warship, leaving a huge gap in the hull and hitting the deck, causing death and injury. This is simply crazy.
In less than ten minutes, four ships withdrew from the battle sequence and slowly retreated around the flagship. He even saw the most serious ship, near the waterline, with two strong men.
Through the large opening, seawater was gurgling into the boat.
"Each squadron will allocate half of its warships and use chain bombs to maintain such an attack. At the same time, they will wait for opportunities to kill the opponent's military personnel and destroy their ability to move!"
Use a chain to connect two small cannonballs smaller than the caliber of the cannon bore. After being fired, one cannonball will drag the other cannonball out centrifugally, thus tearing a big hole in the sail or tearing the rigging.
Bad or lucky, it can even tear off the mast and paralyze the enemy ship. It is mainly used to limit the mobility of the enemy ship. Of course, what effect will it have on a human body? Whether it is a solid projectile or an iron chain, the human body cannot eat it.
of elimination.
The Spanish warships not only have the solid bullets currently in use, but also exploding bullets, and even this kind of special chain bombs. The warships of the Ming Dynasty are all solid bullets. The effect of solid bullets on personnel is really great.
It's not great, but for fixed buildings including warships, the effect is not very good.
Saint Anqi did not realize that the order he issued had completely abandoned the idea of "finishing the battle in one battle" when he had just discovered the main force of the Ming Navy. Yes, before the war started, he was full of confidence.
He wanted to completely annihilate the Ming Dynasty's main fleet, but the current battle situation made him feel that after annihilating a small enemy fleet, if he sank one to two such huge Ming Dynasty main battleships, perhaps, this time
The battle will end perfectly.
After he gave the order, soon some Spanish warships were equipped with chain bombs, and their muzzles were adjusted as high as possible. This time, their targets were no longer that solid
The hull, but the sails, rigging and even masts on the hull, may be able to eliminate some of the opponent's sailors.
However, the main warships of the Ming Dynasty did not seem to be affected in any way. They still poured out bullets towards his fleet at the speed of a salvo in three minutes. When Saint Anqi saw happily,
When the huge Ming warship on the outermost layer was finally bombed by his heroic subordinates, a hole was made in the hull that could almost fit a lifeboat. Two more ships in his fleet had to withdraw.
fought.
One ship was already tilting slowly. This was caused by the Ming Dynasty's artillery fire hitting the powder magazine, causing an explosion that directly blew the entire ship's keel into two pieces. On the other ship, the deck was almost invisible.
The people on the upper deck, including the captain who was directing the battle on the bridge, didn't know where they were hit by the shells. Perhaps they were still on the ship, but they were scattered everywhere.
