Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    As the sky dawned and the fog on the sea was completely blown away, Colonel Thiago finally had a clear understanding of the situation.

    In the 16th century, artillery technology in Europe was still very limited, resulting in poor accuracy of long-range firepower, and it was often useless to shoot for a long time.  That's why Spain despises the status of artillery and always insists on boarding battles.

    However, the accuracy of the Ming warship's artillery far exceeded his imagination. At a distance of 200 meters, the artillery fire was almost flawless. As long as the Galese warship was bitten by them, it would soon be shot from head to tail, even if the ship was  Although the bodies were still intact, a large number of oarsmen had died, causing the battleship to lose power.

    In less than a morning, one-sixth of his escort warships were sunk, and five more were seriously damaged and fell behind.

    And this section of the strait still has a voyage of 40 leagues, and it will take a day and a night!  If they continue to be beaten passively, everyone will die.

    When the colonel realized that it was difficult to get rid of his opponent, he finally used his brains to come up with a countermeasure.

    The colonel ordered the messenger to take a small boat and row to find Lieutenant Colonel Capone, the escort commander of the rear team, and convey his order to him - let the twelve galleys behind them turn around, break away from the main team and speed up to intercept the Ming Dynasty pirates.  Cover the treasure fleet from the battlefield!

    At noon, the order was finally delivered without any danger. Lieutenant Colonel Capone immediately followed it and ordered the rear fleet under his command to turn around. At the same time, he used the largest caliber artillery to shoot at the pirate sailboat.

    Inside each Galaisian warship.

    Upon hearing the order from the deck, the officer directing the oars raised his left fist. The oarsman on the left immediately stopped while the oarsman on the right continued to row. The bow of the ship quickly turned around and pointed at the stern of the enemy ship on the left front.  .

    Then the officer put down his hand and continued to blow the whistle rhythmically. The oarsman on the left continued to paddle hard in accordance with the rhythm. The fourteen Galese warships rushed straight towards the Ming Dynasty warships like wild horses.

    At this time, their bow main gun finally came into play, and the half-cannons roared one after another, as if they were going to wipe away the frustration of the war.

    And now they are facing the most vulnerable stern of the Ming Dynasty fleet, and what's more terrible is that they still have the upper hand.

    I have said it many times that in a naval battle, the upper hand means the initiative, which means you can choose your position

    Lin Feng quickly noticed this unfavorable situation.  There is no way, who told her to only have so few boats? If she wants to swallow the elephant, she will definitely lose sight of one.

    She immediately issued a response order, and it only took three minutes for her order to be received by the communication officers of each ship and correctly conveyed to the captain.

    This is the difference.  Although the technological gap is not as difficult to bridge as the technological gap, the effect is the same until this layer of window paper is broken.

    The Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia began to furl its sails, and the four warships behind it raised their sails. As one went, three frigates and one transport ship quickly accelerated past the bulky flagship from the right.

    At this time, those Spanish galleys with astonishing acceleration also pounced on Liu Daxia like a pack of wolves, aiming at Liu Daxia's huge ass in a fan shape, and began to output wildly!

    Orange flames spurted out, and the shells roared in, making Liu Daxia's butt crackle and sawdust fly!

    However, when the smoke cleared, the Spaniards were horrified to find that the butt of the Ming Dynasty giant ship only had a little skin broken!

    Nani?  !  Oh no, the Spaniards should say ¡®quepasa¡¯?

    According to the common sense of the Spanish Navy, the stern is the most vulnerable part of any large sailing ship. Once it enters from behind, it will immediately fall to its knees.

    How can the stern of this huge Ming Dynasty sailing ship be so durable?

    This is caused by the differences in ship manufacturing processes between the East and the West.

    Western warship designers imagined the ship as a fish, relying on the frame to bear force and the hull to prevent water leakage, so they spent their time on the keel and ribs.  Therefore, from the perspective of the mechanical structure of the hull, the Western Karak ships, Galen ships and even later sailing battleships were actually wrong.  It was not until Buzinner proposed that "the hull is a beam structure" that he returned to the correct path.  At that time, it was already the 19th century.

    But as the saying goes, great efforts can produce miracles. Even if Europe¡¯s shipbuilding guidance is wrong, it spares no expense and is meticulous in its work, coupled with the support of its peers, Western warships can still dominate the world.

    "The shipbuilding craftsmen of the Song and Yuan Dynasties realized hundreds of years ago that only the hull was the main body of the structure. In fact, the keel and ribs were of no use.

    Therefore, the designers of treasure ships have always focused on strengthening the strength of wooden hulls.  They mainly adopted two points. One is to reduce the length-to-width ratio of the treasure ship, so the entire treasure ship looks chubby.

    Of course, this also resulted in Liu Daxia¡¯s shortcomings of being clumsy.  The term for high emotional intelligence is stability.nbsp;Soon, bang bang bang bang

    A burst of scalp-numbing crashes sounded one after another, and at least eight galleys completed the collision with Liu Daxia within five minutes.

    ¡°If Liu Daxia were an actress from an island country, this scene Bah, bah, what are you thinking about?

    But after the damage control officer hurriedly inspected the bottom tank, he found no damage or leakage

    Liu Daxia, how thick is your skin?  Even the corners can't be penetrated.

    "Blessed by our ancestors, our ancestors are so awesome!" Liu Yishou knelt down with tears streaming down his face and raised his hands to the sky.

    The reason for this is that the treasure ship's hull is too thick and oak is used.

    It is also because although the Calais regatta has restored the ramming angle that has disappeared for hundreds of years, the length of the ramming angle has been greatly shortened, generally less than one meter long, and is mainly used to fix enemy ships so that they can engage in boarding battles.

    And the sprinting distance was not enough. It only inserted less than half a meter before it was stuck by layers of solid wood.

    ps. Posted first and then corrected the typo, it will be gone tonight.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
