- What kind of warships did the enemy use in naval battles?
Gao Yingyue didn¡¯t know that the Huben Guard Navy on the opposite side was using a huge, new-style ¡°Tiger¡± series of warships:
"Tiger Roar"!
Although the Fu Chuan is also a very excellent warship in the Ming Navy, compared with the "Tiger" series of warships, it has obviously shown its age.
Amidst the sound of "boom, boom", Gao Yingyue suddenly felt the terrible thought of failure in his heart as he faced the warships on the other side that looked small in number but showed off their might.
fail? At least this idea has never occurred to anyone in the Zheng Family Navy before
While Gao Yingyue's troops were engaged in a bitter battle, the left-wing fleet commanded by Zheng Zhifeng also felt the approaching danger.
His opponent is Cai Jiuzhou, and he is very familiar with this opponent. He knew that Cai Jiuzhou was a powerful general under Ding Yunyi's command, and he also knew that this man had been following Ding Yunyi a long time ago.
What he is even more aware of is the outstanding performance of the Huben Guards Navy in the battle against the four-nation combined fleet and the conquest of the Satsuma Domain. If coupled with the psychological shadow of his having been captured, Zheng Zhifeng's determination to win was not strong from the beginning of the naval battle.
Amid the roaring shells, Zheng Zhifeng barely tried his best to command his fleet and struggled against the enemy. However, just like the embarrassing situation encountered by Gao Yingyue, Zheng Zhifeng faced his own warships catching fire and being destroyed one after another.
He organized several assaults in an attempt to open a gap in the enemy's fleet, but all failed.
Not only that. More than a dozen ships sank into the sea
What frustrated Zheng Zhifeng the most was that the seemingly huge Zheng family fleet seemed to have no way of exerting its numerical advantage. Enemies can always find their weak points to strike fatally.
But when the Zheng family navy encountered two-on-one, three-on-one, or even four-on-one situations, it was unable to deal with the opponent's warships. Even under the opponent's sharp artillery fire, it suffered heavy losses.
Zheng Zhifeng was the first person to wake up on the battlefield, and he began to feel vaguely. Naval battles are no longer a time when the number of warships you own can determine the outcome on the battlefield
When the left and right wings gradually gained the upper hand in naval battles, the Chinese army under the personal command of Ding Yunyi encountered some dangers.
The "Huwei" entered the forefront as soon as the decisive battle at sea began. Its graceful hull and powerful cannon fire. And the huge battle flag flying on the top of the ship - the brave, loyal tiger and guard, has become the most eye-catching warship on the battlefield.
Several warships of the Zheng family navy held the "Huwei" tightly.
Cannonballs continued to fall in the waters near the "Huwei", and Ding Yunyi had placed great hopes on the "Shenwei B" artillery. It finally showed its due power on the battlefield.
With ultra-long range, precise shooting, and extremely powerful artillery fire, the "Shenwei B" artillery became the most dazzling star in naval battles after it entered actual combat for the first time.
More than three warships of the Zheng family navy became victims of gunfire. The two main guns and auxiliary guns fired alternately, suppressing the opposing warships, and they freely released their emotions in the naval battle.
There were constant sounds of cannons on the sea, and flames shot into the sky. The entire sea was plunged into smoke and blood
And at this moment, an unexpected situation happened:
"There is a malfunction in the No. 1 gun!"
When this sound sounded. One of the "Shenwei B" guns misfired for an instant, which also greatly weakened the gunfire on the "Huwei".
"The No. 2 gun and auxiliary gun continue to fire!" Captain Delson showed his calmness. The failure of the main firepower did not affect him.
Aier, Jiao Xu, and Kondruman appeared in front of the No. 1 gun almost immediately
The failure of the No. 1 gun caused the "Huwei" to reduce a large amount of firepower output, and the Zheng family navy ship, which had always been suppressed, also accurately smelled something. He quickly threw himself into the crazy attack!
Artillery shells poured in overwhelmingly, and the originally favorable situation suddenly became passive.
"Huwei" continues to support the No. 2 main gun and auxiliary gun. This must be attributed to Captain Delson's calmness and the well-trained crew of the captain and sailors.
In previous exercises, this possible situation has been rehearsed many times.
Ding Yunyi, who was standing on the deck, seemed not to notice the danger at all. Trust always comes first to him. He firmly believed in his engineers. ableEnough to play your best role when needed most.
The shells roared past the ship, and some almost looked as if they were about to hit Ding Yunyi's head, but Ding Yunyi's body never moved at all.
The captain¡¯s sailors didn¡¯t seem to pay too much attention to Wu Liebo. In their view, since he was already on the ship, he was a member of the ship.
At this time, the Zheng family navy was absolutely unwilling to give up this rare opportunity, and the artillery fire began to become more and more fierce
The "Cheetah" not far away quickly began to rush to the rescue. A large number of artillery shells hit the enemy ships intensively, forcing the enemy to be unable to let go of their hands and feet to launch an all-out attack on the "Huwei". This also allowed the "Huwei" to gain Although it is short, it is a rare and precious time.
Suddenly, the No. 1 gun on the "Huwei" that had encountered malfunction roared again, followed by bursts of cheers from the brothers on the ship.
Aier, Jiao Xu, and Kondruman did not disappoint Ding Yunyi's expectations. They eliminated the main gun failure in the shortest possible time!
But when Jiao Xu came to Ding Yunyi, the Ming Dynasty's firearms expert still had fear on his face. Just as he was about to say something, Ding Yunyi said calmly: "Mr. Jiao, I have already said that anything new must be Facing possible failure.¡±
Jiao Xu smiled. He suddenly felt that following such a boss was really a good thing
When all the artillery fire of the "Huwei" returned to the battle, the situation of the entire decisive battle at sea began to undergo a major reversal The first thing to appear was Gao Yingyue's right-wing fleet.
Another lucky ship caught fire under the almost crazy attack of Zhang Xianxuan¡¯s fleet. When the sad cry reached Gao Yingyue's ears again, his whole body seemed to be numb.
He couldn¡¯t remember how many warships this was that had been hit and caught fire. He had even thought that this lucky ship would sink soon.
But there is nothing I can do
Compared with the right wing, the Zheng family navy on the left wing is undoubtedly much weaker. The reason is also very simple:
Gao Yingyue¡¯s surname is Gao, not Zheng. He has never been Zheng Zhilong¡¯s true direct descendant!
With a loud "Boom-", Gao Yingyue was caught off guard and fell to the deck. He finally got up with the help of his deputy, his face covered in blood.
His warship was also hit.
"Master Gao, it's impossible!" the deputy shouted in horror: "The Tiger Guards' artillery fire is too strong. We are no match at all!"
Gao Yingyue wiped the blood from his face, and he nodded silently
He originally wanted to rely on this naval battle to win, and then use it as capital to claim credit from Zheng Zhilong. But he never expected to face such a powerful fleet!
He looked to both sides and saw that the sea was full of burning and panic-stricken Zheng family warships, and the balance of victory was rapidly tilting towards the Tiger Guards.
Zheng Zhilong is going to fail, and Gao Yingyue has this thought in his heart If he loses this fleet again, then he will really have nothing
"Surrender?" Gao Yingyue suddenly heard this voice.
His deputy was startled for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and then nodded silently.
At a quarter of noon on the first day of June in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the left wing fleet of the Zheng family, Gao Yingyue, surrendered, which also contributed to the final major turning point in the Battle of Liaoluo Bay
When the news came that Gao Yingyue's troops had surrendered, Zheng Zhilong was stunned.
It¡¯s over. This was Zheng Zhilong's first thought.
And the subsequent naval battle also confirmed this terrible idea for the first time. Gao Yingyue, who surrendered, quickly turned his guns around without any orders and directly attacked the Zheng Family Navy's center.
This immediately put Zheng Zhilong directly facing attacks from three sides:
Ding Yunyi, Zhang Xianxuan, Gao Yingyue!
Zheng Zhibao, who was fighting hard on the battlefield, was shocked and quickly commanded his fleet to rush to the aid of the Chinese army desperately. At this time, something happened that made Zheng Zhilong heartbroken.
Zheng Zhibao is Zheng Zhilong¡¯s younger brother and the most powerful general under his command. He was worried about his brother, completely ignoring the artillery fire next to the fleet, and frantically approached the Chinese army.
Because of the sudden change in orders, the formation of the Zheng family's forward fleet became chaotic.
Bao Juhua never let go of such a golden opportunity
Countless cannonballs flew towards the enemy ships like a roar, and a warship of the Zheng family navy caught fire. Then another one caught fire almost at the same moment
But the reckless Zheng Zhibao no longer cares about this. In his heart, his eldest brother is the first
"Go! Go!"
When the last word "charge" came out of Zheng Zhibao's mouth, an earth-shattering explosion sounded around him, and then Zheng Zhibao stood there stiffly aloneblood was flowing from his body shed
Zheng Zhibao shook for a moment, then shook again, and then fell to the deck unwillingly Someone seemed to be shouting something to him in a panic, but Zheng Zhibao couldn't hear a word.
It¡¯s over, everything is over here Zheng Zhibao let out a long sigh, and then took his last breath.
Zheng Zhibao is dead. This old rival of Huben Wei, the most powerful general of the Zheng family who has led the fleet several times to seize Penghu, Taiwan, is dead.
This is also the highest-ranking general Zheng Zhilong lost in the great battle of Liaoluo Bay.
Gao Yingyue surrendered, Zheng Zhibao died, and Zheng Zhifeng fell into great passivity. A naval battle that originally seemed unchallenging to Zheng Zhilong now turned out like this.
On the sea, ships of the Zheng family navy were constantly being hit by bullets and caught fire, and warships of the Zheng family navy were constantly choosing to surrender.
Three thousand ships, three thousand ships in total!
On the sea, Zheng Zhilong has an absolute advantage, but now he has to face this terrible result.
"Father, our navy has suffered heavy losses!" Zheng Sen stumbled over and ran over: "The situation is out of control, the situation is completely out of control!"
Zheng Zhilong nodded silently.
Yes, the situation is completely out of control, and there is no possibility of reversal. But why does this happen? Why such a terrible failure?
Zheng Zhilong has never been able to give himself a correct answer.
At three quarters of noon, the Zheng family navy, which had completely lost the initiative on the battlefield, began to retreat, but the Tiger Guards would never allow such a piece of fat to escape like this.
The entire navy of Huben Guards went into pursuit.
The sea is full of burning warships and sailors struggling and begging in the water. The white flag kept flashing, and enemies kept surrendering there.
The Zheng family navy is finished!
Ding Yunyi let out a long sigh of relief, and his heart that had been in mid-air finally relaxed.
Win, this battle is still won after all!
He could hear the cheers from the mouths of his subordinates who were pursuing the victory, he could see the battle flags fluttering in the wind, and he could even see the joy on the faces of his subordinates.
This battle will determine who is the true king of the sea!
From this moment on, there are no more enemies in the sea. You are the king here: the king of the sea!
"Back to the main town, our army has won a great victory!" Cai Jiuzhou and Zhang Xianxuan shouted loudly as they arrived on the "Huwei" in a small boat.
Ding Yunyi smiled calmly. At this time, he heard his subordinates say: "Today's battle has shaken the world. The name of the general town and the name of the Tiger Guard are known all over the world! This is the blessing of our Taipeng! Chief! The town is mighty! The tiger guards are mighty!¡±
"Continue to pursue the Zheng family navy, and be sure to annihilate them all without leaving any future troubles!" Ding Yunyi, who was not immersed in excessive joy, issued such an order.
We must chase the bad guys and never let them come back to life again!
Zheng Zhilong was defeated, and this time he was defeated very completely. He had no chance to stand up, but despite this, Ding Yunyi still wanted to see Zheng Zhilong's final defeat with his own eyes.
He knew that this person still had great power in Japan, and he knew even more that when dealing with the enemy, he must not leave them the slightest chance.
He was even thinking, would he still have a chance to stand face to face with Zheng Zhilong?
During the great battle of Luowan, Ding Yunyi crossed out another name from his enemy list, and it was a very important name.
But this news will soon reach the capital. How will the court and Emperor Chongzhen treat it? - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
