Chapter 017 Battle against the Manchu Qing Dynasty

Wang Xuejun's ship of Dehunting the Dashun battleship that had just been seized, pulled the sails all over the ship. The sailors shouted horns and rowed hard, moving closer to their own fleet on the outer sea.

This ship cannot be lost. Not only is the ship valuable, but the poles on it are more precious.

The Qing Dynasty did not have a navy. In the past, the navy of the Ming Dynasty was blocked by the smuggling channel leading to Liaodong by the sea route.

He also assisted Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town to raid the Liaodong Peninsula.

At that time, most of the Liaodong Peninsula such as Lushun and Jinzhou were taken down by the Denglai Navy and Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town, which made the Qing Dynasty breathless.

The situation almost reversed at that time.

But Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong and broke up Dongjiang Town.

In the court, Donglin, Yuan Keli was run away and replaced by Wu Zhiwang, the excellent doctor of Donglin, who was the main force, and forced Kong Youde and others to rebel in anger.

Kong Youde captured Dengzhou and forced the Denglai naval army to set off his family and then plundered the Denglai naval army and all Dengzhou artillery experts. He rebelled in anger and then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Kong Youde captured Denglai and plundered most of the ships of the Denglai Navy, crossed the sea and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, hoping to use this enemy to seek justice from his greatest enemy Chongzhen to his adopted father and brothers from Dongjiang Town.

In this way, the Qing Dynasty not only lifted the blockade of the Denglai Navy, but also had a powerful Manchu Navy.

The first navy commander was Huang Zhihuan, who was the former deputy general of the Denglai Navy who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Kong Youde.

This person is good at naval battles and is very brave.

This time, Li Zicheng has already arrived at the capital.

Regent Dorgon saw the opportunity to conquer the Central Plains, so he wanted to bypass Shanhaiguan, land from Shandong, and take advantage of the troubled waters. (Wu Sangui didn't want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty at this time)

The Qing navy seemed to have discovered Wang Xuejun's warship. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately adjusted the sails and rushed over directly.

For them, they would not build ships. The two warships were extremely valuable to the growth of the Manqing Navy.

The enemy's warship caught up with it, and the Milu ship, which was dragging a broken warship, was unfast.

As soon as the enemy was catching up.

At this moment, Yu Minzhong's fleet, who heard the sound of cannons, appeared on the sea level.

Facing his powerful fleet, the brothers on the Miluo ship burst into cheers.

When Yu Minzhong saw that his flagship was in danger, he immediately raised the flag: "Let's attack on the enemy ships chasing his flagship."

No matter who the enemy is, let’s talk about it after fighting.

The five-headed warships, led by the Dinglu ship, lined up in an attacking array and rushed directly towards twenty Qing enemy ships.

Five to twenty, no sign of weakness.

Wang Xuejun was very pleased with the courage of Yu Minzhong and his brothers.

Although there are many enemies and we are few, it will cause losses to ourselves, but it doesn’t matter if you lose a few warships, just buy them again.

But this kind of aura that dares to draw the sword against the enemy is unavailable by money, and this spirit must be indulged.

This is Wang Xuejun’s mentality now.

Huang Zhihuan, the commander of the Manqing Navy Division, was personally in charge of command, and the five warships appeared opposite each other, and they were even bigger and bigger. He was overjoyed at the time.

This is really what God takes care of the Qing Dynasty, take care of himself, and sends the warship to him.

So he ordered loudly: "Prepare the bowl and gun, jump to help Ding prepare, get close to the battle."

Before the late Ming Dynasty, traditional Chinese warships still did not target major damage to local ships.

Although it is equipped with cannons, it is less powerful than the bowl-mouth gun. Later, the rear-mounted smoothbore cannon like Frangi was introduced, even a large Frangi shell of a thousand pounds was only a few pounds.

The purpose is not to injure the ship, but to kill people and seize the ship.

And the perverted equip of fifty Fiordons like Wang Xuejun is not his common sense of traveling through time, but a rich burning bag.

Faced with ten aggressive Qing warships, Yu Minzhong did not want to seize the ship.

He followed his father to fight on the sea. Influenced by Western ideas, he had already changed from the theory that he had used Frangi, who was equivalent to a shotgun, and killed and injured enemy ships and then jumped to fight. He had to first destroy the opponent's ship.

Different concepts determine different tactics.

Twenty warships of the Qing Dynasty came to Yu Minzhong's fleet in half-moon shape.

They stared at their targets with their eyes tightly, waited to get closer, fired firearms, killed enemies on the deck, and then jumped to grab the ship.

However, when Yu Minzhong saw the enemy's posture, he sneered: "Grandbuds, you guys think too much."

The commander's swords were fierce: "Keep the formation of the front and arrows, and each ship hit the enemy's central battleship, blooming bullets, gathering fire to shoot."

At a long distance, five or two heavy artillery on the head of the ship were placed, with a total of twenty-five guns, and suddenly fired.

The fifteen-pound flowering bullet flew towards the enemy ship.

Five miles away, let the shells fly for a while.

Without looking at the results, the gunners immediately opened the cannon hall, pulled out the sub-gun, and quickly stuffed the new sub-gun. Without waiting for the captain's order, they immediately adjusted their aim and fired again.

Another twenty-five flowering bullets whistled out.

But in less than twenty breaths, more than seventy shells came out in three rounds.

The first batch of shells fell into the water and blew up high water columns around the battleship in the middle of the enemy.

This batch of water columns has not yet fallen, and the next batch has arrived again.

The enemy ship in the middle was still unscathed.

As a result, the two warships beside him made a shocking sound.

The relationship shot at the bull's eye, but it shot the passerby, and it was a coincidence.

The third batch of shells finally hit the target. For a moment, broken wood flew on the deck of the enemy warship, accompanied by the thick smoke and fire of flowering bullets, and the broken limbs of the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty.

The raging fire ignited the hard sails stained with grease. In a blink of an eye, the fire swallowed up the entire three warships and slowly sank.

Yu Minzhong shouted: "Try harder and kill a few more of them."

The first battle won, and the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted and the loading speed was faster.

The precious flowering bullets were sprinkled at the enemy ship like money.

At this time, Yu Minzhong's fleet had already broken through the central gap of the half-moon formation and rushed outside the enemy fleet.

Faced with such fierce and powerful artillery fire from the enemy, such fast and ruthless means, Huang Zhihuan stared at the enemy fleet breaking out of the encirclement before he approached the enemy and did not fire a shot.

And he lost three warships in a blink of an eye, and such losses made him feel pain.

"The enemy doesn't want a warship, and we don't want it either." Huang Zhihuan jumped: "Immediately change to the general's cannon, load the chain bullet, and turn around and chase me."

Chain bombs are important projectiles in naval battles.

The projectile is divided into two parts and is usually sealed by wax, with chains hidden in the middle.

Once fired, the red projectiles burned by gunpowder and wax instantly flew out. The two halves of the projectiles separated and flew towards the enemy ships with iron chains, mainly wrapping around the sails of the enemy ships.

Then the hot projectile ignites the sails of the battleship.

The sails ignite, and the warship will have no chance to save it.

It was difficult for ancient warships to turn around. But the Qing Dynasty navy had the same strong and unyielding spirit as their Eight Banners.

If one side of the battle completely lies down, he will never leave the battle.

Retreat actively? That is impossible.
