Chapter 51 The Battle of Jolo Bay (2)

Zhu Haitao looked at the water column in front of him and immediately felt like laughing. Are these so-called "navy" of the Sultanate countries just making fun of it? At this time, the naval battles focused on formation. Although the formation on his side was not very strict, at least he had a horizontal formation. However, these brainless Sultanate navys rushed over directly, wouldn't that be a search for death?

The subsequent situation confirmed Zhu Haitao's conjecture. Although Salaman was bombarded by artillery fire, he still rushed to pieces. The ship still had guns and cannons, but no shot hit the Xia class warship.

Zhu Haitao has completed the loading again and has begun to prepare for the second round of volleys.

"boom……"

The continuous sound of cannons began to sound, and the spherical shells rotated rapidly under the blessing of rifle, heading straight towards Salaman's fleet.

However, the effect was not as good as expected. There were still many shells falling into the sea, but Salaman's fleet was still hit a lot.

Zhu Haitao recorded this situation in his mind. It seemed that the spherical shells were equipped with rifled cannons. It seemed that this time, he would have to undergo a major operation on the "Xia"-class warship.

"Control, our shells are still not good!" Xue Dingyue, who followed Zhu Haitao to fight, said beside Zhu Haitao.

He is a man with talent for naval warfare. He has followed the Luo family to fight on the sea since he was a child. Later, Zhu Haitao discovered his god.

Fu was promoted to the captain of the warship he was riding on.

"What do you think our artillery should look like?" Zhu Haitao asked.

"It would be great if it could be the same as the 'One' rifle used by the Army. It could load shells from behind the barrel and fire such conical shells, and cooperate with the rifle, it would definitely shoot far and accurately." Xue Dingyue said.

"The artillery I am developing now is what you said. It seems that you are very talented!" Zhu Haitao praised.

Xue Dingyue scratched her head and said, "Thank you for the praise of the commander." He knew that the commander in front of him would be king when he returned, so he seemed very respectful in his tone.

"You are right, but have you ever thought about it? Whether it is the navy of these Sultanate countries or the navy of Westerners, they are all wooden warships. The one under our feet is just different in strength. If such a warship encounters an artillery shell that can explode and explodes in the warship after it penetrates the shell of the warship, how powerful can it be?" Zhu Haitao asked.

"A kind of shell that can explode?" Xue Dingyue immediately became interested and asked, "Control, according to what you said, the Western warships are no problem! As long as you hit a shot, will they be allowed to see the Sea Dragon King?"

"They believe in God. Our Sea Dragon King doesn't care about their lives or death. Even if they see them, they have to burn them with three real fires." Zhu Haitao said with a smile.

"Yes, they believe in such a bullshit God. Our Sea Dragon King will destroy them when he sees them!" Xue Dingyue also laughed.

This reminded Zhu Haitao of later generations. At that time, the crisis of faith in China was so serious that traditional culture was almost at the verge of destruction. A native Han man actually worshipped white people thousands of kilometers away, and cooperated with white people to invade China. This was not only a matter of forgetting one's ancestors, but also a traitor!

Of course, there are also the cults of these Sultanate countries that are currently circulating like cancer throughout the country, and they will also destroy all the unbelievers as heresy.

Since you have come to this era, all this will never happen!

Just as he was thinking, the remnant fleet led by Salaman finally got closer to the "Xia" and the warship formation.

"General, these Chinese artillery fire are too fierce! Our Mohammed has sunk, and our flagship has also been hit by the mast and can only sail on the remaining deputy sails. If they launch artillery again, we will be wiped out!" Salaman's subordinates advised him.

"Yes, General, let's retreat quickly! We are not their opponents!"

"Allah! Come and save your people!" Many people even started praying.

Salaman was also very scared of the current situation. Just two rounds of artillery fired four of these ten battleships, and the remaining six were each bombarded and at least one shell was hit. If there were another third round of artillery fire, only Allah could know whether his flagship would be directly destroyed.

But the next second, Zhu Haitao's fleet used practical operations to tell Salaman about the fate of these people.

This time it was still a fleet volley. Although the fleet in Taohuayuan was not as well-trained as the Spanish or British fleet, it could still complete the volley, shooting dozens of giant projectiles out of the cannon chamber, and then hit the enemy hard.

This shelling directly killed the Salaman fleet. First, the first shell passed through several sub-sails of the flagship after passing through a long flat arc, causing the flagship to completely lose its power. Then it hit a small sampan in the distance again and directly destroyed it.

The next other shell hit the flagship's command room directly. Salaman was paced back and forth in fear at this time. As a result, the shell came in like eyes, rolled up all the people, including Salaman. After forming a mixed meat pie, it continued to drill into the warship until the keel of the flagship hit the flagship stopped.

This immediately broke the flagship's keel into two pieces, and the bottom of the flagship was broken into several pieces. Then a large amount of sea water rushed in, dragging the entire ship into the abyss under the sea ruthlessly.

The entire fleet lost its backbone almost instantly, but the shells behind it still did not stop their movements. They had close contact with their respective targets set in advance. Although many of them still fell into the sea, many of them also hit.

All warships were hit by multiple shells, and the fourth round of artillery bombings were followed...

After the four rounds of artillery were completed, the naval battle in Holo Bay came to an end. In addition to a few people, the small sampans of the Sultanate were still trying to fire guns, the large-scale fire exchange had stopped.

At this time, the ten new warships of the Sulu Sultanate had disappeared, and the sea was covered with broken wood, sails, and items on various warships.

The sea was very noisy, but it was filled with the shouts of the Sultanate naval soldiers for help, and of course a large number of floating corpses floated with the waves. Under the sunlight, Holo Bay turned into a large swimming pool.
