If you could turn into a seagull and look down from the air, you would see the assault fleet like a sledgehammer, hitting the Spanish fleet's thickest waist, splitting it in two. Then divide and surround them, gather them together and annihilate them!
The six battleships relied on their large tonnage, thick armor, and sufficient firepower to rush through the enemy ships, attacking wherever there were more ships.
The No. 13 Flying Star Ship penetrated between two Spanish galleons, the 1,000-ton Sao Paulo and the 800-ton San Militao.
The Spaniards ignored the possibility of accidentally damaging their own warship and fired fiercely at it from both sides. Naturally, the Flying Star also opened up its firepower. The cannons on the left and right sides fired in unison and sprayed out more than thirty tongues of flame at the same time, giving it a ferocious counterattack!
The commanders of the St. Paul and the San Militao thought that two versus one would always give them an advantage, right?
However, what frightened the Spanish soldiers on the two galleons was that the semi-cannon shells fired at such a close range were unable to break the hull of the enemy ship! Only a few lucky shells were fired into the Flying Star through the gun window, causing some damage to the Marine Corps soldiers
In addition, several beams on the mast of the Flying Star were broken, and several large holes were broken in the sail
This is all the results of a salvo fired by the two ships.
Many Spanish crew members saw the shells hitting the hull of the Flying Star and being bounced back by sparks. Only depressions the size of bowls were left.
"Iron, ironclad ship" Shouts of shock and fear echoed on every deck. Everyone felt as if cold water had been poured on them, and their fighting spirit dropped to the bottom. The gunners' reloading movements also became slower.
If your opponent¡¯s ship is made of iron, what¡¯s the point? How can a wooden ship defeat an iron ship?
The Coast Guard officers on board the Flying Star were immediately boosted in morale when they saw that the additional armor had excellent protective effects. Continuing the ferocious salvo from both sides, the broadside firepower of the Sao Paulo and the San Militao was silenced in just two rounds.
Then the gunnery commander ordered the use of grape bullets for cleaning. When the Flying Star passed by the Sao Paulo and the San Militao, everything on the decks of the two Spanish galleons was strafed into strips and sheets, making it impossible to distinguish their original shapes.
The entire mast of the St. Paul was intact, and only the foremast of the San Militao was left alone. The fallen mast killed an unknown number of sailors
The Flying Star stopped looking at them and continued to look for the next target to ravage.
Because it was engaged in a killing competition with the Zhenyue, Kunwu, Jingli and Qingming to see who could cripple more Spanish sailing ships.
??~~
Lin Feng's flagship Chengsheng Wanli was also killing people efficiently, but she was not interested in participating in this boring competition. Instead, she used all the telescopes on the flagship to search for the Marquis of Santa Cruz's San Feili. Wear number.
With her temper, she will do the best she can! Shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, capture the thief first, capture the king first!
However, the battleships of the two armies were gathered together, and hundreds of artillery were always roaring at the same time. The north wind had no time to blow away the rising smoke. The entire battlefield was shrouded in smoke, and only the outline of the sails could be used to distinguish which was the coast guard ship and which was the Spanish ship. But it was even more difficult to identify which ship was the San Felipe.
What's more, she has never seen the San Felipe with her own eyes. The only information is the intelligence brought back by Liu Yishou - it is said that it is a three-story Galen ship of 1,000 tons. There is also a yellow cross flag on a red background, which is the command flag of the Armada. On the mizzen mast hung a griffon flag, the flag of the Marquis of Santa Cruz.
But after searching for a long time, I couldn¡¯t see those two eye-catching flags.
But it was not all without success. During the search, the lookout reported that a four-deck giant ship was spotted ahead at eight o'clock, with the flag of the Spanish admiral flying on it!
Lin Feng immediately realized that it was the Royal Power, the ship of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Armada. If Liu Yishou's information is correct, the deputy commander-in-chief is General Leon!
She immediately recalled the humiliation of being chased by the other party for nearly a year. At that time, she swore that in the future she would strip that bastard Admiral Leon naked and hang him upside down on the mast!
People can¡¯t stand without faith! Can't let him go!
Lin Feng¡¯s head felt hot and she put the thought of capturing the thief and the king behind her. Immediately give the order to rush over, kill the King Power, and capture Admiral Leon alive!
The officers and soldiers under his command responded in unison and skillfully maneuvered the Chengsheng Wanli through the jungle of warships from both sides, approaching the "King Quan".
The Chengsheng Wanli is the second-generation ¡®Chaos-class¡¯ battleship launched only five years ago in Wanli. The Institute of Shipbuilding introduces fluid mechanics, geometry and precise calculations into ship design, and incorporates the latest scientific research achievements.sp; Admiral Leon stood in the devastated wheelhouse, unable to accept this result.
My own ship, the Royal Power, is Spain's latest warship. It used 2,500 century-old oak trees, cost 250,000 pesos, and took three years to build. How could it not survive even a single hour? , was destroyed by Ming warships?
Who is the strongest battleship and who is the strongest navy? Who will be crowned the future maritime hegemon? The answer seems self-evident
Faced with the huge gap in strength, the general finally recognized the reality. Ordered to hoist the white flag, cease fire and surrender
Well, there aren¡¯t many cannons to fire.
The Sheng Sheng Wan Li went around to the stern of the Royal Power and destroyed two of its rudders before leaving with satisfaction and continuing to search for the San Felipe.
However, at this time, the sun was setting in the west, it was going to be dark soon, and the visibility of the sea surface was even worse. Lin Feng's goal of destroying the enemy's flagship and forcing the Spaniards to surrender today is destined to not be achieved (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
