Chapter 840: The wind is strong and urgent, Yang Fanwei is all over the world (11)

In the spring of the sixth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the East China Sea of ​​Japan was destined to be uneasy. The two gunships of the Ponu Army Navy, "Ping'an" and "Pinghu", captured Wu Yishan, a major figure in Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and obtained the accurate position of the Zhengxing fleet from him. To Wu Yishan, the cunning sea rival, the Ponu Army Navy still gave high courtesy, and there was no abuse. The key is that Yang Chunhe, the future Naval Academy of the Ponu Army, took a fancy to Wu Yishan's experience in sailing on the sea. As for how to conquer this sea hero, it had to rely on the methods of Zhou Xing, the Qiang General of the Intelligence Department of the Ponu Army.

Through interrogation of Wu Yishan and other prisoners, the Intelligence Department had a clear understanding of the entire composition of the Zheng Xing fleet. Zheng Xing's fleet was divided into two parts. Zheng Xing was responsible for the escort of the armed Fu Ship and Zheng Ming was responsible for the cargo ship. The Intelligence Department of the Possip Army could not distinguish the difference between the Folang Jimen and the Dutch. They all called the Dutch the Dutch the Folang Jimen. Anyway, there was not much difference between the two. They were all the Taixi people thousands of miles away with red eyebrows and green eyes. The Possip Army Navy moved very quickly. Under the leadership of the commander Yang Qiantu, he almost stepped on Wu Yishan to report the message and rushed to Zheng Zhilong's fleet, which was staying in the sea outside Japan, waiting for news.

Although the navy of the Pou Nu Army was familiar with the background of the Zheng Zhilong fleet, the navy commander Yang Qiantu still tried to fire five guns on the sentry ship. Judging from the gunners' gunners' gunners' gunshots in the captive Zheng Zhilong fleet, they still followed the old-fashioned method of loading ammunition for so long. The only improvement was the early package amount learned from the Pou Nu Army. The technique of wrapping ammunition with nitrous silk is impossible to master the secret of nitrous silk without this financial resources. In war, it is important to know yourself and the enemy. The two sides have been together for so long and have known the bottom line. However, the advantages of the Pou Nu Army are more obvious. Relatively speaking, the sailors of the Zheng Zhilong fleet have richer experience in navigating.

By interrogating Wu Yishan and other prisoners, Yang Qiantu re-confirmed that the number of armed Fuhuo ships of Zhengxing fleet was 47, and the other cargo ships were only used to fight in close combat with the Bolang aircraft and tiger guns. The navy commander Yang Qiantu silently calculated the tactics while sailing. He now not only had the number of armed Fuhuo ships of Zhengxing fleet, but also the location of these armed Fuhuo ships. The most important thing is that Wu Yishan talked about the number of artillery artillery ships of the Dutch gunship "Breda". Yang Qiantu, the navy commander of the Po Slave Army, felt that the Breda was powerful in Wu Yishan's entrance. According to Wu Yishan's confession, this Dutch gunship was originally to Japan to help Zheng Xing fleet cheer, and it was mainly to deter Japan to show that Zheng Zhilong's fleet was strong enough to fight against the Po Slave Army Navy. In addition to trade, Zheng Zhilong also had the intention of joining the Japanese to fight against the Po Slave Army.

After referring to the eight-pointer to calculate the route and wind direction, the time for the Ponu Army Navy to launch an accurate attack was determined. Finally, Yang Qiantu decided that the Ponu Army Navy would occupy the upper hand in the morning of the next day and launch a general attack on Zheng Zhilong's fleet. Wu Yishan, the boss of the Ponu Army who once served in Zheng Zhilong's fleet, was captured by the Ponu Army. He followed Zheng Zhilong's family for many years and had not been valued by Zheng Zhilong. This time he did another errand to die. He was also dissatisfied with Zheng Xing. Yang Qiantu, the commander of the Ponu Army Navy, and Yang Chunhe, the commander of the Ponu Army, deliberately attracted him, which made Wu Yishan have the idea of ​​joining the Ponu Army.

Wu Yishan also helped the Ponu Army transport goods, knowing that if he wants to gain a foothold in the Ponu Army, he must pay the letter of surrender. Wu Yishan's first suggestion was the wind direction and weather during the battle of the Ponu Army. The wind direction was crucial in the naval battle, and Yang Qiantu also recruited Wu Yishan to his side. At the same time, Zhou Xing, the head of the Intelligence Department, was also monitoring it. If the wind direction predicted by Wu Yishan was incorrect, Zhou Xing would cut off his head and sacrifice the flag. Although Zhang Leshan, the Qiang General Zhang Leshan, could roughly predict the time when the Ponu Army reached the battlefield, the deviation was still quite large. When the Ponu Army fleet arrived at the battlefield, it was more than an hour later than the scheduled time. In response to this, the navy commander Yang Qiantu couldn't help but sigh that Zhang Leshan was really a prediction expert.

To the southeast of the Ponu Navy, the blue sea was covered with sails. The fleet led by Zheng Xing appeared in the sight of the Ponu Navy. Seeing the opponent about to fight, Yang Qiantu, who was standing on the podium, observed the enemy situation with a telescope for a while, and then issued an order: "All armies prepare for war!"

With the order of commander Yang Qiantu, triangular flags were hung on both sides of the middle mast sail of the "Zhenyuan" General Manager Zhang Hai pulled the alarm bells of the two-layer gun position below the two-layer gun position below the copper tube sounding soundtrack next to the upper deck. "Dingdang! Dingdang!..." The rope pulled the rapid alarm sounded in the two-layer gun cabin below. Zhang Hai shouted at Jin Huanghuang's soundtrack with a roar full of energy: "The whole ship is ready for bullets!"

The main gunners of each gun position on the upper deck opened the iron cabinet loading shells behind the cannon. The first deputy gunner took out an integrated shell and peeled it off and sealed it. First, poured the ammunition bag into the muzzle. Another deputy gunner compacted it with a push rod. At this time, the first deputy gunner had turned over the one-piece, and took out the tail of the cloth, which had two inches of hard heads and the center of the sealed wooden board, which were closely connected to the lead and handed it to the second deputy gunner to press it into the muzzle. When the shell was compacted, the main gunner pressed the hard lead into the artillery door and raised his right hand to signal the preparation of the bullet. Soon, the response from the two deputy generals of the two decks inserted directly into the lower two layers of decks came from the sound tube: "The first cabin is ready for the bullet!", "The second cabin is ready for the bullet!"

At this time, the main force of the Navy of the Po Nu Army was still thirty miles away from the fleet led by Zheng Xing. The navy commander Yang Qiantu saw that the opponent was setting up almost the same as the Bo Nu Army, which shows that everyone was learning the Zheng He ship formation. However, the Bo Nu Army had more routines. The Navy of the Po Nu Army had an arrow-shaped ship specially used for maritime attacks. Yang Qiantu adjusted the offensive formation again, and each of the "Shangde" and "Shangwu" brought three flat warships and six sentry ships to attack the opponent's wings, striving to peel off the outer armed blessing ship of Zheng Xing's fleet. As for the Dutch gunship "Breda", Yang Qiantu had discovered its whereabouts from the telescope. The position of the ship was northeast of the east side of the Zheng Xing fleet.

Faced with the most vicious opponent of the Po Nu Army Navy since its formation, the naval commander Yang Qiantu prepared to lead the "Zhenyuan" to fight. In this naval battle, Yang Chunhe, the co-supervisor of the "Shangde", drank the first soup again. The upper vent occupied by the Po Nu Army Navy just put the "Shangde" warship at the forefront. When the commander Yang Qiantu issued an order to attack, the fleet led by Yang Chunhe was from the attacking arrow-type ship single-winged geese formation. The reason why Yang Chunhe used this formation to fight was to give full play to the advantages of the Po Nu Army artillery to kill and injure the enemy's armed blessed ships from a long distance. It was said that it was long distance, but in fact, the fire between the two sides was not much farther than the infantry's close contact.

When the "Shangde" gunship was attacking, it was six miles away from the enemy ship formation. Yang Chunhe ordered the "Shangde" gunship and the Ping-font warship first to fire with their main guns to determine the artillery angle for the entire fleet. The range of artillery in Zhengxing fleet was not far, so they could only fight the water columns generated by the explosion of the main guns of the Possess Army. At this moment, the "Shangde" gunship led the fleet to the Ping-font warship and followed the main ship behind the main ship, and the sentry ships were arranged at the tail of the Ping-font gunship. The entire fleet began to penetrate and draw a beautiful arc to the left, revealing the right-wing cabin armed to the teeth. The black hole muzzle emerged from the cabin and the deck, and the first round of artillery was first carried out by the upper deck side guns. The sea gunship fired in a probability, and whoever had more artillery would have the absolute advantage. In this regard, the Possess Army naval was naturally the first to achieve the results.

Zheng Xing's fleet armed Fu Ship is still close to the enemy ship and jumped to gangs to fight with the enemy. In this regard, the pirates of Zheng Zhilong were better than the Ponus Navy. However, reality is always so skinny. Three Fu Ship was injured by the Ponus artillery when approaching the Ponus "Shangde" fleet, and then a raging fire broke out on the Fu Ship. In fact, it was a near-blast shock wave that hit the * barrel on the Fu Ship, and violent friction ignited *. Because the gunners on the Fu Ship had to open the lid of the * barrel when they were operating the cannon, the * leak ignited the Fu Ship. The sailors on the Fu Ship did not care about attacking and had to save themselves first to avoid being frozen to death by the cold sea water after falling into the sea.

Even if the injured Fu Ship caught fire, other armed Fu Ship still approached the Po Nu Army warship. At this time, the main gun ships of the "Shangde" and the three Pingzi warships completed the artillery bombardment. The six sentry ships took advantage of their flexible high speed to penetrate the thirteen Fu Ship. The attacking Fu Ship was less than two miles apart. The iron cannons and the Po Nu Army guns on the Fu Ship were bombarded with each other at the moment of crossing. The continuous sound of cannons and the white smoke that covered several miles after the artillery was fired.

The battlefield was filled with fog. From time to time, the sound of dying and screams after many people were injured came from the white fog. As the smoke drifted, both sides realized that five lucky ships in Zhengxing's fleet caught fire, two of which were about to sink. The six sentry ships of the Pou Nu Army who rushed through the smoke were not much better. The two masts broke and overturned more than ten sailors on the ship. Another sentry ship was even more seriously injured, and was actually penetrated by the opponent's solid bullets, and the sea water poured into the gap.

However, the action of the whistleboat attacking Zhengxing's fleet of Fu Ship won time for the main fleet of "Shangde". Yang Chunhe used the gunship steering to successfully illuminate the port gun. This time, it was only seventy feet away from the enemy ship. The remaining artillery on the Fu Ship had not been loaded yet, and was once again passed through the ship by the main warship of the Po Slave Army. At such a close distance, four more Fu Ship were instantly exploded. At this time, the four cannons of "Shangde" were the main guns.

The starboard cannons on the ship were loaded again. At this time, both sides had approached forty feet, and the starboard cannons of the Pou Nu Navy opened fire again at the enemy ship forty years away. The explosions produced by several five kilograms were enough to break the keel of the Fu Ship, and they sank and broke down and floated on the sea surface, filling the sea surface of several miles. The war on the "Shangde" fleet has not yet ended, and the first round of artillery strikes of the "Shangwu" fleet has also begun. (To be continued)
