Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty - Chapter 1701
A king’s order was issued. Sergi, commander-in-chief of the Spanish dental Navy, attacked with 400 warships and came to Lisbon to set up a naval battle formation with Rojas, commander-in-chief of the Portuguese Navy. With nearly 1500 ships, the navies of the two countries should teach Yang’s Navy how to be a man here and tell these self righteous five-star armies that Europe is far from powerful enough for these Asian yellow monkeys.
On the Yang’s navy fleet, there is a first-class admiral with five Venus hanging on his shoulder. Kaohsiung, the Deputy commander-in-chief of the Navy, is sitting on a class VI warship called the Dahan, overlooking the sea ahead.
At this time, Kaohsiung was no longer a bandit with only a few small boats and hundreds of brothers 20 years ago. At this time, he seemed to become the top commander of the Yang Navy. He could easily mobilize hundreds of thousands of warships. Under his eyes, many countries in Africa have been trampled under their feet.
Kaohsiung took the Navy all the way through thorns and thorns, laying a huge territory for the Yang Department. He himself has also become a member of the Military Commission of the Yang Department because of his repeated military achievements. Now he has become a first-class general and the third person of the whole Yang Department relay Yang Chendong (commander-in-chief rank) and Hu mang (commander-in-chief rank). Leng Feng, once a great deputy commander of the army, is now just like him with the rank of first-class general with five stars.
The status has improved and the power has increased, but Kaohsiung has not changed its original heart. In his eyes, he is still a general in Yang Chendong’s hands. Although he has no idea how many countries he has surpassed, this idea has never changed.
Kaohsiung will never forget that everything he can have today is given by Yang Chendong. If he loses Yang Chendong’s support, he will be replaced by someone every minute. Every minute, he will become an ordinary Han people who don’t know a name from an admirable deputy commander of the Navy.
No one knows the power and power of the sixth young master better than those who first followed Yang Chendong in Kaohsiung. Such as these powerful guns out of thin air, such as those unexpected ideas, all came from Yang Chendong.
Who knows what cards Yang Chendong hasn’t used?
In Kaohsiung’s eyes, Yang Chendong is mysterious, and the more his status continues to improve, the more he knows the power of Yang Chendong’s mysterious power. For example, six of the six class six seagoing ships hidden under his feet have gun barrels and can move iron guys who can fire guns. After seeing its power for the first time, Kaohsiung was completely convinced and dared not have any other ideas in his heart. In fact, he had never had those ideas. After all, Yang Chendong gave them a very good treatment.
“Report to the deputy commander in chief. The reconnaissance ship ahead reported that a large number of foreign warships were found 60 nautical miles ahead. They were coming to us in a surrounded posture. There were about 1500 warships.” a lieutenant colonel’s staff officer ran to Kaohsiung and saluted and reported.
“1500 ships, three times our number. Hehe, but compared with firepower, I’m afraid it’s not even 1% of us. Ha ha, even if such a big meal is delivered to us, why don’t you eat it? Order the fleet to move forward at normal speed, and all ships check firearms and ammunition to be ready for war at any time.” After Kaohsiung gave the order, he laughed. He was afraid that his opponent would run away and attack himself by relying on the familiar sea area. That was the most annoying thing.
As for explaining the formation of Dao Ming gun, this is his favorite. To tell you the truth, he has not fought with thousands of enemy ships since he commanded the naval battle. Now that he has this opportunity, of course, he is happy, because it means that the time has come for him to make great achievements.
The order was given by the radio. Other ships kept their normal formation and continued to move forward. However, among the invisible ships, the navy soldiers were checking the igniters and ammunition. At the same time, some hidden gun muzzle were exposed one by one, like a monster with a huge mouth open, waiting to devour any enemy and opponent who dared to resist.
If this scene is seen by the Portuguese Navy’s reconnaissance ship, they will exclaim that Yang’s warships have not only ten guns, but nearly 100 guns on each warship. Even the third-class warship as a transport ship has 50 or 60 artillery barrels sticking out.
All Yang warships are equipped with 150mm caliber naval guns. They only need to be fixed, not like the army. They also need to pull, transport and move, which makes their guns more powerful and powerful, and the attack distance reaches 30 kilometers.
Compared with the strength of Yang seagoing ships, they mostly use cold weapons such as knives, spears, crossbows and arrows. There are also long hook spears, long axes, hook rejections, clapping poles and other objects specially used in naval warfare. It is worth mentioning that there are only Portuguese and Spanish navies with several to dozens of small caliber guns on some larger ships.
Those small caliber guns have a close attack range, and some can only hit about three to five miles. And there are many solid bullets. Such firepower configuration can’t be put in the eyes of all the soldiers of the Yang Navy.
Good weapons do not necessarily lead to final victory. However, good weapons will definitely improve the probability of victory, not to mention that the navy soldiers of the Yang Department are elite people who have been specially trained and have participated in countless naval battles all the way. Such a division of hundred battles and such strong guns are invincible in this world.
I don’t know what kind of opponent I met. The naval coalition composed of Portugal and Spain also approached the Yang Navy according to the previous plan. Finally, the two sides met on the Atlantic Ocean 60 miles away from Lisbon.
Almost at the same time, Portuguese navy commander in chief Rojas and Spanish Navy commander in chief Sergi issued the order to speed up and attack the Yang Navy. For a time, 1500 joint navies of the two countries, with their sails flying, rushed straight from the front at full speed, and the distance between the two sides was shrinking.
Fifteen nautical miles… Ten nautical miles… Eight nautical miles… Seven nautical miles… Six nautical miles!
Seeing that the joint navy of Portugal and Spain was getting closer and closer to them, after most of the joint navy ships entered the range, the Deputy commander-in-chief of Kaohsiung on the class VI warship issued an order to fire.
Boom~
Boom~
Almost at the same time, ten thousand guns fired at once, and countless red lights like meteors crossed the sky, which was very spectacular.
Next, the shells scattered and fell, and there was a rumble of explosions. The joint navies of Portugal and Spain were hit, either directly split in half, or sunk and sank towards the vast Pacific Ocean.
The sudden attack and powerful artillery power sank at least 500 warships of the joint navy of Portugal and Spain after a wave of artillery fire, instantly reducing the strength by one-third, making Rojas and Sergi stare with disbelief.
Only after a few breaths, the two commanders in chief issued the same order at almost the same time, that is, retreat, retreat again. As soon as the so-called experts make a move, they know whether they have it or not. At such a distance, their guns can’t reach them at all, and they are completely in the position of being beaten. And from the power of the other side’s artillery, it is not what they can bear. It is no exaggeration to say that almost one shot can sink one of their boats and lose half of their strength. How can they resist such strong gunfire and how can they be opponents?
It is far from like the Yang navy can issue orders by telegraph or by relying on the original flag language. It is doomed that orders cannot be transmitted and issued in time on the chaotic battlefield. Therefore, in the bursts of gunfire, except for a few Portuguese and Spanish joint Navy warships who saw the continuous retreat of new orders, most other warships did not retreat, but crossed the sea and became the gun target of the Yang Navy.
In less than half an hour, the large-scale naval battle between 2000 warships was over. The combined navy of Portugal and Spain fled at the cost of losing more than 12000 warships. Finally, less than 300 warships sped to the port of Lisbon.
The panicked Portuguese and Spanish joint navy has long lost their fighting spirit. Now they just want to escape back quickly, and then escape to land, relying on various facilities and trenches to resist the attack of the Yang Navy one by one.
It’s just too late to escape at this time. The speed of the Yang Navy, which had long used the steam principle, could not be compared with that of the Portuguese and Spanish combined navies with the help of sails. When the deputy commander in chief of Kaohsiung put down his telescope, he opened his mouth and gave orders. “Order to leave 200 warships to clean the battlefield and rescue the drowning enemy. Ha ha, the sixth young master said that now Nanming has become a part of the Yang system. It will take a lot of labor to Daxing the railway and highway there, so let these people spare some heat.”
While saying these words, Kaohsiung seemed to see the scene of these prisoners working in Nanming and the moment when the sixth young master showed him.
The smile just flashed away. Kaohsiung, whose face became calm again, continued: “order the other 300 warships to follow the escaped joint navy of Portugal and Spain to the port of Lisbon. Tell the people below not to fire at will. Now is not the time to destroy them. These 300 warships still have their final value.”
The so-called final value is used to frighten the enemy. Just as Rojas and general Sergi fled all the way to the first two miles of Lisbon port, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a burst of artillery attacked and covered the whole area. The two commanders in chief of the coalition forces and their warships sank to the bottom of the sea. In this war, poor them basically had no chance to fire. Even if the shells were fired, they did not hurt a Yang warship because of the distance.
