Can this also be called blocking?
At best, it can only be considered a failed block.
However, this squadron has completed its blocking mission at this point.
At this time, the twelve main battleships of the Shanyin that came from the north finally arrived at the battlefield.
A shell happened to hit the stern deck of Napur's flagship, and a big hole was smashed. Fortunately, it didn't explode.
But the hull shaking made Napur scream, "The enemy is behind...!"
In a naval battle, as long as the front is blocked and the back is bitten, it will be almost one-sided.
This situation is very dangerous, because both the bow and stern gun are only equipped with one, which is almost negligible compared to the side gun, which is just waiting to be beaten.
The only way is to bring the ship across and use both sides of the cannon to meet the enemy.
But the question is, it is not easy to come across the giant ship. Can the other party allow him to turn easily? Will he not follow the turn and continue to maintain his relative position?
As a new force, the Shanyin troops joined the army, dense shells fell from behind the enemy, instantly causing the morale of the Napur fleet to be depressed.
The shelling of only one incense stick hit the enemy ships, and seven of them caught fire, and almost all those who were shot were shot.
When the flagship caught fire, Napur ordered without hesitation, "Hang the white flag..."
Yet, Great Britain has no direct interests in East Asia, and it is all picked up by damn red-haired ghosts. The precious lives of British naval soldiers cannot be destroyed in this unworthy sea like this.
Napur chose to surrender without any psychological barrier, which may also be a kind of knight's honor.
When Zhang Mingzhen, who was ordered to lead the fleet to reinforce, saw the sea surface in disarray, more than 20 enemy ships flying white flags and Napur, who was not ashamed at all, was stunned.
....
And weird.
As the main force of the joint fleet, why did Commander Kerry Thorne not arrive on the battlefield to reinforce?
The main force of the joint fleet is stockpiled outside the Hangzhou Bay. Logically speaking, it is time to arrive at the battlefield at this time.
Shi Lang was also surprised.
In fact, this has to start with Wu Zheng's three navy troops gathering in Wusongkou.
It can also be said that this is the "trouble" of Wu Zheng.
As the head coach of the United Fleet, Kerry Thorne naturally knew that Wu Zheng had three major navy commanders.
I have also heard of the previous near-sea battle between Wu Zheng and Zheng Sen.
Kerry Thorne is cautious.
In the direction of Chashan, there were only more than 30 main battleships of the enemy navy. So where is the intention of the main force of the enemy navy?
He needs to consider what if the main force goes north and is taken over by the enemy in the rear?
This is the coast of China. Who can guarantee that there will be no fleet in Hangzhou Bay to attack the supply ships and auxiliary ships of the joint fleet. They are all powerless.
Everyone knows that no matter how powerful a warship is, once it loses supplies, it is like a floating coffin.
From this point of view, Kerry Thorne's final choice was to send several waves of reconnaissance ships to the north coast, without immediately choosing to reinforce north.
Of course, this is not Kerry Thorne, like Napur's little thoughts, wanted to use Wu Zheng's hand to weaken the British naval strength, because Napur led the "knife guards" in the forward fleet, which was his fleet.
The reason why Kry Thorne did not send reinforcements was that in his opinion, the number of enemy ships did not exceed the Napur fleet, and his own artillery power and range were even ahead of the enemy, without reinforcements. At least in a short period of time, there was no need for reinforcements. His focus was on the main force of the navy who was unintentional.
This causes the enemy to be disconnected from each other and cannot arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible.
....
Shi Lang was worried too much.
The "sword guards" who broke through the enemy's front end finally escaped after paying the price of more than ten ships hitting lightning.
But when he turned around and saw that the Napur fleet was blocked thirty miles away, no one was willing to turn back and reinforce.
In their opinion, this may be called one retribution for another.
Obviously, the thunder that Shi Lang ordered to redistribute was wasted.
The "Sword Guards" who escaped from the sky looked at Shi Lang's flagship, which was only more than ten miles away, without any intention of attacking. They chose to quickly turn north in order to get out of the battlefield as soon as possible. In fact, beside Shi Lang, except for his flagship, there were only three main battleships and twelve warships.
But the luck of the "guards with swords" may not be much better than that of Napur.
It’s not that Shi Lang has the deployment. In fact, Shi Lang didn’t expect such a huge result, so he would not have deployed an interception to this escape fleet.
The "Sword Guards" were still intercepted by the navy. The navy led by Wang Yilin, who was detouring northeast by Wu Zheng.
Wang Yilin, the "descending house", has always been arrogant and did not even regard Wu Zheng as his boss in the past. Although he has now respected Wu Zheng, his temper has not been restrained because of his ministers.
Wu Zheng's emphasis on Shi Lang was not opposed. What he cared about was that Wu Zheng gave Shi Lang that kid.
So, when Wang Yilin saw so many "guards with swords", the only thing he wanted to thank was probably not Wu Zheng, but God.
"God... you are good at treating the Wang family!" Wang Yilin immediately gave the general attack order as soon as he finished sighing.
Although Wang Yilin's fleet only has thirty main battleships and more than fifty warships, naval battles never determine the outcome based on the number of warships.
The reason why the main battleship and ordinary battleships are calculated separately is that the two are not of the same magnitude at all.
The main ship has large guns, many guns, and long range. If you really want to line up and fight against each other, one main ship will face five or six ordinary warships, and the ending will be a complete victory. This is the difference between firepower and hull sturdyness.
The commander who "guarded with a knife" was stunned and was surprised to find that the Han people were really unruly.
Shouldn’t you ask yourself if you are willing to surrender at the beginning of your encounter?
In fact, as long as Wang Yilin comes to ask, he will answer without hesitation, willing!
Wang Yilin led the fleet to pounce on this "well-behaved" group of rabbits like a hungry tiger out of the cage. After sinking more than ten enemy ships, the commander of the "guard with a knife" finally came to his senses and ordered the white flag to be hung.
According to the commander's opinion, can't I be allowed to be the first day of the lunar calendar?
Wang Yilin was really unsatisfied, but he didn't dare to kill prisoners on the sea, and he couldn't bear to leave because his eyes had sparked. Of course, his big eyes like cowbells were not looking at these dejected red hairs, but the shiny cannons on the boat. This was obviously not something that his newly reorganized naval master could maintain.
