1908: sunk
In one round, two of the three Tiger Dynasty warships fled in separate ways, while the other was walking around the sea. Yang Tiexin was very relaxed. While chasing one of them, he carefully looked at the other's warships with the railing in his hand.
As a veteran at sea, he had to admit that the other party's boat driving skills were very skilled, and he was very awesome about how to use ocean currents and wind directions. He even felt that the other party's skills were stronger than himself. I think it was only more than ten years since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty's navy. If it weren't for the fact that it was far ahead of the other party in terms of power and weapons, it would be hard to say who would win the battle with them this time.
The layout of the other party's sails is very different from that of the Ming Dynasty. If it is bigger, the other party uses soft sails instead of the hard sails used by sail warships before the Ming Dynasty. It seems that this kind of soft sail is better.
"Let the main gun fire!" Yang Tiexin looked for a while and felt that he had basically figured out the other party's path, so he became bored. He still had two enemy ships to clean up, but he didn't want to delay too long, especially the warship that was wandering around in place. If he took the rudder while he was chasing the other two, repaired the rudder and fled, he would be on the wax. Now he only had one airship to monitor, and the sea was vast. If the other party escaped from his sight, it would be difficult to catch the trace again.
The huge main gun of the ship's head began to prepare. After a moment, accompanied by a deafening loud noise, the entire Changyang fell and sank backwards. Yang Congrong saw a huge projectile flying out of the cannon chamber in the ejected fire, and flew towards the enemy ship in front of the fire.
He widened his eyes, hoping to hit the target with one shot. With the power of the main gun, if the target is hit with one shot, even if the opponent's warship is not explained on the spot, he will be injured.
Of course, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He watched as a huge wave burst out ten meters away from the enemy warship. The waves caused the opponent's warship to slide to one side involuntarily. At the same time, the ship was tilted to one side, and the hair did not hurt the other side.
"Sure enough, the main gun is still unreliable." Yang Tiexin shook his head repeatedly: "This guy really relies on the luck of the big fortune. It seems that he still has to rely on the side cover to shoot. In a round, dozens of shells can even be deceived."
"Accelerate, speed up, chase them to their left, take advantage of his illness and kill him." Yang Tiexin shouted as he patted the railing.
The Changyang accelerated to chase with the huge roar of the machine, and soon afterwards, it began to sail parallel to the other side. Their direction was on the port side of the enemy ship, which had been hit hard by their key attacks. The weapons and equipment on the enemy ship were almost destroyed by their artillery, and Yang Tiexin didn't care at all.
Just as the Ming Dynasty artillery needed cluster shooting to exert its power, the same was true for the enemy's catapult.
"Let's fire!" Yang Tiexin held up the telescope and looked at the panicked enemies in his vision roaring in despair. He was in a very happy mood. Perhaps the enemy had foresaw his destiny.
Starting from the bottom, one of the side cannons began to spray fire. At a distance closer than before, thirty-six artillery guns on the starboard side of the Changyang were fired in sequence.
When the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the enemy ship had already stopped on the sea surface. This time, some chain bombs were fired on the Changyang, shattering the opponent's sails. From Yang Tiexin's telescope, it can be seen that the opponent's warship was already extremely miserable at this moment. The entire ship tower on the deck was burning, and he even saw a considerable upward angle appeared on the head and tail of the opponent's ship.
This is the keel of the warship that was broken. The ship is about to sink.
He put down his telescope and quietly looked at the enemy ship not far away.
As time went by, the soldiers of the Changyang ship could see with their naked eyes that the opponent's warship was completely ineffective. Amid everyone's cheers, the enemy ship struggled for a while, and then broke into two pieces with a rumbling sound. Then they fell into the water and sank into the sea in a very short time.
A huge whirlpool appeared on the sea surface. Apart from some wood fragments and some floating corpses, the warship had nothing left.
He rushed over from the distant West, and had not even seen the coastline of the rich country in the East, and had been buried in the vast sea.
"I'm very rich, very rich, but I want you to have your life to get it!" Yang Tiexin murmured in a low voice, raised his telescope again, looked into the air, searching for the traces of the airship.
"Swing, northwest direction, fifteen degrees, full speed!" He put down his telescope and ordered the guards beside him. The Changyang Rolled a light turn and galloped towards the northwest direction.
Marshall is going crazy.
The white bird-like thing above his head followed in a gloomy way. He knew very well that if he didn't get rid of this guy, the terrifying enemy warship would catch up sooner or later. But the problem was that the thing was very cunning and flew very high, and was attached to the rear of his warship. Even the strong crossbow that shot the farthest on the ship could not shoot at that position.
"God, how did they make such a big thing fly into the sky?" He murmured helplessly on his chest. Now, he could not think of any way except for asking everyone to go down the bottom pod to take turns to row and speed up the escape.
The enemy's strength was completely inconsistent with the information they received in advance. Before setting off, they already knew that the so-called Ming Dynasty was only sailing warships, which were slower than those of the Tiger Dynasty, and the hull did not even have iron armor. More importantly, the Ming Dynasty was only established for more than ten years, and the Navy was only more than ten years old. Although the Tiger Dynasty had not been completed for a long time, their navy had a history of hundreds of years. Whether it was the commanders of the ships or sailors, they were veterans who made life at sea.
They thought the victory was in control. This time they sailed, they were amazing to act as a transport ship, and then the final battle was still handed over to the army that came with the ship to carry out the final battle, but now it seems that the intelligence is fake.
He couldn't help but curse the intelligence officials loudly. What a stupid person who made such a huge difference in intelligence. This would kill the entire expeditionary army.
If all the enemies were warships like this, Marshall could not think of how they would win. When the enemy's sideways ejected a ball of fire, all he could see was the huge loss of his warship.
It was irresistible. If he knew in advance that the enemy had such a weapon, he could use ship technology to avoid it, but he knew nothing. Thinking about the situation where the large troops behind him were like him and knew nothing, he couldn't help but shivered.
"Commander Marshall!" An officer suddenly screamed, pointing his fingers to the southeast, and his voice trembled.
Following the direction of his finger, Marshall's heart completely sank. Although he could not see the other warship, he could see that black smoke was helping to the sky.
This kind of black smoke emerged from the strange-shaped chimney above the enemy ship. They did not use sails or manpower, but the warships could move forward at extremely fast speed and turn nimblely. Did they use the power of Satan's evil grinding?
"Full speed, go forward at full speed!" Marshall shouted.
On the horizontal plane of the warship, countless long protruding paddles were flying. The speed of the warship was much faster than usual, but Marshall still found in despair that the other party was getting closer and closer to him. From the previous one, he only saw the black smoke to the other party's ship, the figure of the warship became bigger and bigger.
"Prepare for the battle!" He gave the order in despair.
It is completely impossible to escape. The enemy went to chase after his companions first, and now they caught up with them, which only means that their companions' warships are now finished. Next, it's their turn.
Whether it is an opponent or not, Marshall is not the one who stretches his neck and waits for the other party to cut it. Even if he dies, he will have to bite off a piece of meat. Even if he can't bite the meat, it is good to pull off a few pieces of meat from the other party.
"Commander, how do we fight?" the officer beside him asked in despair.
"Reversal, adjust the sail angle, approach the opponent with the best efforts, hit them, and fight on the side!" Marshall shouted: "All the soldiers are ready and tell the sailors that if they want to live, this is our only chance."
The warship of the Tiger Dynasty turned its bow at the sea and rushed straight towards the Changyang. Although it was heading against the wind, their speed was not reduced at all with their sails.
"It's really good!" Yang Tiexin looked at the other party's skillful boat driving skills and couldn't help but nod and praise him.
"Be careful with the whole ship, keep the distance from the enemy ship, and prepare all the guns on the side to sink him!"
The generation difference between the two warships in power and weapons cannot be compensated by passion and courage. Marshall tried all his best, but he was unable to achieve his goal. The opponent's warship always easily kept a sufficient distance from them. Every time the opponent went around his side, his warship would suffer a heavy blow in the sound of a huge explosion.
The sail was destroyed, the rudder had turned into pieces. When the huge muzzle of the enemy's bow in the distance was facing the Marshall battleship, he sighed and threw away the long sword in his hand.
The next moment, Marshall flew up and flew up high. He tried hard to open his eyes and looked at his warship. The proud bow of his once pride was rising high and sinking at an extremely fast speed.
Yang Tiexin on the Changyang whistled happily. The main gun on the head of the ship was not good enough to hit the moving target, but it was still very good to hit the fixed target.
