The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas
Chapter 913: Ceylon naval battle forward flagship is difficult
? The guns roared, the war was raging, the southeast ships were in full swing, and the officers and soldiers were in high spirits, actively responding to the commander's orders and firing! Fight! Fight!
The flagship of the red-headed forward "Lion" was continuously bombarded by artillery, and the battleship swayed more and more like being manipulated by giants.
It suffered a near-missing bullet, and the sea surface ten yards away from starboard stirred up a high water column, which splashed directly on the face of British General Michael Parker. He wiped the water and saw a large Chinese man not far away. The battleship came parallel to him, especially the tall figure on that ship, which made him look disgusted and shouted: "Fire, fire, hurry!"
Originally, he was still looking at the direction of the wind and expected to fire at the most suitable time, but now he can't take care of it anymore.
Let's talk about it first, even if you lose, you can't lose.
He was right. The person who came was the "Eight of Southeast Asia", the captain Siresma, a famous war madman, nicknamed the Black Warrior, he couldn't help but grinned when he saw the other's head sheep!
The “Lion”’s side artillery fired in a row, firing a total of 928-pound iron shells (British’s firepower was stronger than the Southeast Asia-class battleship), but most of them failed to hit the “Southeast Asia 8”. "The British artillery shells scattered on a large area of the sea behind the port side of the "Southeast Asia No. 8", shooting out one column of water, which is quite spectacular, and it is indeed a posture but no reality.
Only two 36-pound chain guns swished through the sails, leaving a half of the cable hanging in the air, and did not damage the main rigging of the "Southeast Asia No. 8".
At this time, the entire hull of the "Lion" was wrapped in thick smoke, but Siresma's experience was extremely old. He measured the distance between the two ships. When everyone was side by side, he gave an order to give There was a salvo from the "Lion".
three minutes!
There are three rounds of high hit rate volleys!
The red hair fans on the ship, especially the British, hated it: "Oh, my goodness, why didn't we have the upper hand!"
You know, fighting for the upper hand was taught by the British to the Chinese!
The British like to have the upper hand, but this is a combined fleet. The predetermined strategy is to run if it fails. The British had no choice but to control their temper and fight at the lower end.
They murmured: "Enough, enough!"
Cannonballs spattered and sawdust fragments were flying all over the sky!
If you are not careful, your life is hard to save.
Many people desperately crossed the leaves, begging Xiaoye for blessing.
But the more I was afraid of something, the more I would come. When Chinese firepower was attacked, Chinese shells smashed in mercilessly. The guns generally fired every minute, causing Hong Maofan to shrink his head and shut his mouth. Don't ask, it's useless to ask!
Finally survived this round of attacks, the two ships staggered, and then the battleship behind the "Lion" was beaten.
The doom of the "Lion Lion" is not only that, because it is the flagship of the striker, it has been taken care of. The shells of the Chinese warships and the "banging" muskets madly focused on them. In an instant, terrible bullets. The curtain densely covered the front, back, left and right of the "Lion Lion", and bursts of beacon smoke seemed to cover the sky with a black haze.
The "Lion" was heavily scarred, its rear mast was blown off, and the wall was destroyed by artillery. A large area of the port side wooden wall collapsed, revealing the cabin scene: the corpses were piled up, full of blood, and scattered. The artillery was in a mess, and the entire battleship was in ruins.
The Southeast Fleet forward flagship Cheng Yu's ship condition is much better than that of the "Lion Lion". Because the Hong Maofan battleship has a lower wind, the muzzle is up, and more chain bullets are used to cut the sails. Some of them hit the ship, but they are far less than the Chinese. Playing the "Lion", so Cheng Yu was busy making up sails!
If a shooting star rushes to the moon, it says: "Meteor shooting star, don't touch your nose, just hit your eyes!"
The ropes were cut, and the canvas fell sharply. As for the canvases that were pierced through holes abound, sometimes chain bullets hit the mast, even if it shook the ship's body slightly, it shocked the officers and soldiers.
Mast, but the lifeblood!
What everyone can do is to pray for the blessing of Mazu!
Fortunately, the mast was not interrupted.
If one side is broken, the other side is patched up, and the new sail is raised, and the too-broken canvas is lowered by itself, and then raised again after patching.
When the sails were lifted up to the mast, the opponent's muskets were naturally waiting. The muskets aimed at the Chinese sailors on the masts, banging like a bird.
It was very dangerous, but no matter how dangerous it was in battle, the sailors bit their heads and climbed up at the fastest speed, still begging Mazu for blessing.
Perhaps it was Mazu Niangniang for blessing, and more importantly, we were prepared for the war, and not many sailors were shot down.
The sailors thanked the leader. He was willing to equip the soldiers with helmets and bullet-proof vests. You have to understand that one set of personnel is definitely a conscientious officer!
I also thank myself. The training dogma of the Southeast Army is "Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime" and "Train according to the standards of actual combat!" They did it.
Usually training is hard, gritted teeth.
On a hot day, wearing a helmet and a heavy bulletproof vest to climb the mast, sweat soaked through the bulletproof vest!
The skin is broken and itchy, and now I have benefited.
In this way, Hong Maofan’s muskets were very loud, but they couldn’t be thundered. One was that the accuracy of the musket at that time was poor, and the sea was fluctuating, making it harder to hit the target. Second, hitting the helmet and bulletproof vest was not enough to break. Defense!
As long as they didn't hit the key, the sailors persisted and hung up the canvas.
The Southeast Army pays attention to officers taking the lead, but the heavy work of the mast is not suitable for officers to be responsible, so it is the responsibility of the sailing non-commissioned officer.
The forward flagship sailing officer Sunan, nicknamed the Flower Monkey, is strong and flexible. He is a good hand at work. He is famous for wearing floral bottoms when he goes up the mast (the army requires officers and soldiers to wear helmets and bulletproof vests, but No matter what trousers you wear, officers wear trousers for dignity, while soldiers often wear trousers for coolness), but you can see that Sunan is crawling up with a tether in the fireworks, chased by the red-haired musket ball He, but no bullet can knock him down!
He rode on the mast and laughed loudly: "Come on, Hong Maofan, Lord is waiting for you!"
Hong Maofan naturally couldn't hear what he was talking about. They shot him more than a dozen shots, but no effect. They couldn't help but be discouraged~www.wuxiaspot.com~, while the Chinese were very uplifted.
Headed by him, the sailors, regardless of danger, tried their best to go up the mast and rushed to repair the mast sail system, which made the battleship's mast sails generally normal and maintained combat effectiveness.
In contrast, the "Lion" suffered severe injuries. The officers and soldiers on the ship were killed, injured, and the side artillery was dissipated, causing the firepower to be greatly reduced. As the leader of the team, the fire was silent and silent. Know the impact on the entire fleet!
Extremely reluctant, the British general Michael Parker ordered the ship to fall under the command flag, and the "Lion" withdrew from the formation and ceased to be the forward flagship.
The "Lion" evacuated the battlefield!
Captain Charlton Knowles of the British battleship "Poseidon" did not hesitate, and ordered the flag to be raised to become the flagship of the forward, responsible for leading the formation.
What the Hong Maofans did not expect was that a quarter of an hour later, the commander flag of the "Poseidon" fell, and they had to activate the third forward flagship!
