On the deck of the Ming army, the medical soldiers carried the wounded soldiers who were lying in a pool of blood to one side and bandaged the wound.

The gunner quickly completed the clearing, loading, and then worked together to push the cannon out of the cannon window.

For a moment, the gunboats, the side gun windows, and the guns of each cannon extended out in turn, aiming at the enemy fleet that had been nearly one and a half miles.

At this time, on the opposite warship, sailors and artillery felt that the Ming army was about to start the next round of artillery attacks, and there were loud screams from Western barbarians and screams from the deck.

"Fire the cannon!" Zheng Chenggong roared angrily with his fist.

"Let it go!" The officer on the deck roared repeatedly.

The gunner quickly dropped the torch, and the entire gunboat was trembling with a series of loud bangs.

The fifteen gunboats of the Ming army once again poured nearly 500 shells on the enemy ships.

The Ming army's artillery shells were mostly fire bombs, and they were combined with a small number of chain bombs and solid bombs to hit enemy ships.

Around the thirteen enemy warships, countless water columns that were clashing and shells hit the side of the enemy ship and exploded suddenly. A black hole appeared on the side of a Dutch warship, and thick black smoke rose.

The seriously damaged Dutch warship then slowed down, adjusted its sail surface, and sailed northwest, becoming the first enemy ship to escape naval battles.

"Okay!" Zheng Chenggong punched the rudder and praised, "The Dutch ship is fast, but the hull is fragile and without any attack, our advantage is obvious!"

As second-hand dealers and sea coachmen, the Dutch sacrificed the stability of the ship in order to load more cargo at a time and expand the ship's cargo capacity at a time, so the hull was poor.

This Dutch ship rushed the fastest, but suffered from concentrated fire and was exploded by flowering bullets on the side and could only exit the battlefield.

In contrast, the French and British ships are much stronger, especially the British ships. One of them should be made of American oak. The side side obviously took a few shots, but it did not cause much damage.

Just when the Ming army was delighted to seriously injure an enemy ship, the enemy ships also launched a counterattack.

The Ming army sailors saw the fire of artillery flashing on the side of the warship opposite, and countless shells roaring again.

The gunners on the deck exclaimed and squatted down one by one. At this moment, the side of the ship exploded, and the shells wrapped in broken wood, instantly swept across a section of the deck. A chain bullet broke the sail lock and tore the sails. The ship suddenly changed its course.

On the Weiyuan battle, the soldiers looking at him shouted urgently, "The Chaoyong sail cable was destroyed, Yangyong's main mast broke, and the two ships slowed down."

"Your Highness! The Western Barbarians want to use chain bullets to disrupt our formation!" Yang Geng said anxiously.

At the tail of the Ming army fleet, two warships, because the sail system was destroyed by chain blasts, their speed decreased and they gradually fell behind.

Zheng Chenggong understood the intention of the Western barbarians. The other party wanted to destroy the sailing ropes of the Ming army's stern warships, forcing the Ming army's stern ships to fall behind, thereby changing the numerical advantage of the Ming army's fleet on the warships.

At this time, if Zheng Chenggong slows down his speed and waits for the fallen warship, the Western Yi warship can seize the "T" head with its speed.

Once the "T" head is seized in a naval battle, the fleet with the "one"-shaped head can use side guns to gather the head of the "丨" formation.

In this way, the opponent's multiple gunboats fired at the same time on the side, and only the head of the ship can fire the cannon, so they will inevitably be severely damaged by the concentrated fire volley.

Therefore, Zheng Chenggong must not slow down, and must keep it parallel to the enemy fleet and always face the sideways. He cannot let the enemy ship seize the "T" head.

In this way, the warship whose sails behind were destroyed would be thrown out of the battle group because of their speed.

"Recharge! Continue to gather fire to the enemy's vanguard warships. All ships accelerate forward!" Zheng Chenggong made a decision in a moment, regardless of Chaoyong or Yang Yong, there were thirteen ships left, and they were moving forward at full speed.

At this time, the Ming army gunners completed the loading again. The fleets of both sides had already pulled the distance from the continuous shelling. The fleets were close to one mile apart, and you could see panicked figures on the other side's deck.

"Fire the cannon!" Ming army officer roared again.

The side volleys fired, and the Ming army warships ejected long artillery flames. The warships passed through the smoke of gunpowder and continued to move forward through the wind and waves.

The Western-Air Combined Fleet bombarded the tail of the Ming army, while the Ming army bombarded the head of the Western-Air. This time, the Dutch warship, which was faster and had a blood hatred of the Ming army, suffered another severe damage.

Amid the sound of "boom boom", the Dutch warship that rushed in front was hit by Ming army artillery shells one after another, and the explosion almost destroyed the hull. With a loud "boom", the flowering bomb detonated the powder barrel on the Dutch warship. The entire warship broke in half a halve with its head and tail raised high and sank into the sea.

As the distance was close to one mile, the accuracy of the Ming army's artillery was greatly improved. While sinking a Dutch warship, there were no shells and hitting the British flagship again.

With a loud "bang", the flowering bullet hit the side of the ship was actually bounced away by the side of the ship and exploded in the air.

Seeing this, Zheng Chenggong felt a little surprised and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In the last round of artillery bombardment, the British flagship was taken seriously. Although he was hit several artillery bombs, the losses were very small.

The distance was too far at that time, and Zheng Chenggong couldn't see it clearly. Now that the distance is close, he found that half of the shells were bounced away by the British ship.

"Can it be an iron-armored ship!" Zheng Chenggong knew that Zhao Ming was studying this kind of warship.

However, solid shells hit the British ship, but there were still shells that smashed the British ship's side.

This is actually the British ship used a tough oak to build a warship, which is harder than a warship wrapped in iron.

In ten years, the Tsarist Russian fleet and the Ottoman Turkish fleet will break out in a fierce battle on the sea of ​​Azov.

Both sides were wooden warships. The Ottoman Turkish fleet concentrated all the cannons and bombarded violently at the Tsarist Russian fleet. However, the shells bounced out as soon as they hit the hull of the Tsarist Russian warship and fell into the water.

This shocked the Ottoman Turkish Navy. Before they could wake up, they were beaten to pieces by the counterattack Russian warships and suffered a huge defeat.

This naval battle made the Tsarist Russian navy shock Europe, and the reason why their wooden warships could withstand artillery attacks was because the warships were made of a sacred tree produced in Voronezh, which was a kind of thorny oak tree.

Zheng Chenggong realized that this was just a relatively hard wood. At this moment, the opposite fleet suddenly blew up, and a black iron ball rushed out of white smoke and flew rapidly towards the direction of Weiyuan.

With a loud "bang", not far from the helm, the ship's side suddenly exploded, and a shell wrapped in countless broken wood rushed into the sidewalk, and then a loud "boom" exploded violently, and the air waves instantly overturned several gunners.
Chapter completed!
