Therefore, this kind of ship is not a warship at all in the normal sense, but an armed cargo ship. However, Galen ships are too popular in Europe. Whether they are cargo ships or warships, they are basically Galen ships. Therefore, laymen often distinguish them. It is not clear which ship is a warship and which ship is a cargo ship!
In fact, if it is the Caribbean route, even armed cargo ships would not dare to carry so few artillery. However, on the Far East route, there is not enough sea power to threaten them, so in order to load more cargo, the artillery is unceremoniously used. The ground was unloaded partially, but today's practice, which was usually no big deal, was destined to bring disaster to three Spanish merchant ships!
Because they were fully loaded, the three Spanish cargo ships had a deep draft and were not very fast. Less than an hour later, Zheng Zhilong's three warships had caught up with them. However, Zheng Zhilong did not rush to attack, but ordered Three of his warships lined up, and at a distance of one thousand meters, they overtook the Spanish merchant ship from the right!
Just when Captain Pierlu didn¡¯t understand what was going on, Zheng Zhilong gave the order to full the right rudder!
The three warships drew a beautiful arc and lined up in front of the Spanish cargo ship. At this time, Captain Pierlu also ordered to turn the rudder, hoping to sail side by side with Zheng Zhilong's warship so that he could use the firepower on his ship, but instead It's too late!
The "t" tactic plus the battle line tactic is a maritime warfare method taught by the officers of the Royal Navy. Although it is the first time for Zheng Zhilong and his gang to use it, this does not prevent them from completing this method imprecisely. Tactics!
"put!"
Almost at the same time that the "t" word was formed, the gunners on Zheng Zhilong's three battleships roared like this!
Boom¡ª¡ª
A total of thirty-six artillery pieces from the three warships roared simultaneously, and thirty-six shells roared towards the Spanish cargo ship five hundred steps away!
Although only nine shells hit the target in this round of shelling, the leading "Princess Anna" had seven!
One of the shells accidentally hit the main mast of the "Princess Anna". As the main mast fell, the speed of the "Princess Anna" suddenly dropped. Behind it, the "Bearded Pete" and The "Siren" flew past it quickly!
Captain Pierre looked at the messy deck and muttered helplessly: "Damn, today is really not a good day!"
When Zheng Zhilong saw that he had killed a large enemy ship in the first round of shelling, he was so happy that he slapped his thigh!
¡°Damn, that¡¯s a beautiful fight, give me the full left rudder, follow the ¡®Zi¡¯ line, change the bullets, I¡¯m going to round them all up!¡±
With Zheng Zhilong¡¯s roar, three brand-new Galen ships once again drew beautiful silver-white arcs on the sea, blocking the way of the remaining two Spanish cargo ships!
"Damn it, this is a ship from the Ming Dynasty. How could they have such a new Galen ship? Which fool sold it to them?"
"It must be the British or the Portuguese, only they would do such stupid things!"
"Yes, those guys can sell their souls in order to make money!"
At the same time as the Princess Anna was lost, the sailors on the Bearded Pete and the Siren had already seen clearly who was attacking them. While those crew members were busy and busy, they did not forget to curse. Their old enemy!
It¡¯s a pity that these sailors didn¡¯t know that neither the British nor the Portuguese would sell ships to the Ming Dynasty. The three terrifying warships they faced were imitated by the Ming Dynasty itself!
Boom¡ª¡ª
Amidst the curses of the crew, Zheng Zhilong¡¯s fleet launched the second round of attack!
This time what flew out of the muzzles of the thirty-six artillery pieces were two iron balls connected with iron chains!
Under the high-speed impact caused by the burning and expansion of gunpowder, the two linked iron balls rotated rapidly and flew towards the two Spanish cargo ships!
In the blink of an eye, a chain bomb flew over the Spanish cargo ship. The main sail of the "Bearded Pete" was hit by a chain bomb. The huge canvas was immediately torn into a big hole, and the sail rope was also messed up. Fortunately, the main mast of the Bearded Pete was not damaged, and it can still maintain a certain speed!
"The Kraken" was not so lucky. At least the Samadhi chain bombs hit the "Siren", but all three chain bombs did not hit the sails, but whizzed past on the deck!
Only God knows how powerful the high-speed rotating chain bombs are. There were at least ten sailors on the "Siren" who were swept away by the chain bombs.The bullet was cut in half, blood instantly covered the deck, and painful wails echoed in every corner of the ship!
Some sailors went to report the damage to the captain, but what they saw was a broken slipway, the captain with his head smashed, and the first mate with an iron ball embedded in his chest. As for the steering wheel, it had long been turned into a pile of sawdust!
Boom¡ª¡ª
Another burst of artillery fire roared, and another barrage of chain bombs came flying towards them. This time, both the "Bearded Pete" and the "Siren" were hit by at least ten chain bombs, and the sails of both ships were basically scrapped. !
The reason why the three warships here have such brilliant results is mainly due to his unreasonable command. He asked his three warships to intercept and shoot at a distance of less than 300 steps from the Spanish cargo ship.
If the bombardment had not been so effective that the speed of the "Bearded Pete" and the "Siren" had not dropped, the "Bearded Pete" would have definitely hit the stern of the "Seahorse"!
Sailboats rely on the wind to drive their sails. Damage to the sails is equivalent to a loss of power. Therefore, the two Spanish cargo ships basically lost their speed after being attacked by two rounds of chain bombs!
At the same time, the fleet led by Li Dan and Yan Siqi also caught up from behind!
"Hey!" Captain Pierre, who had withdrawn from the battle, saw this scene in the telescope and sighed: "Roger, tell everyone to lower the sails and raise the white flag!"
Although First Mate Roger liked to joke, he couldn't laugh at this time. He repeated Captain Pierre's order dejectedly, and then the "Princess Anna" lowered the sails and raised the white flag!
When Li Dan and Yan Siqi saw this scene, they both had proud smiles on their faces. This battle was so enjoyable!
After the Princess Anna surrendered, the Bearded Pete and the Siren also surrendered before Zheng Zhilong fired his fourth salvo. However, after the other party surrendered, Zheng Zhilong did not have any of his sailors to directly join the gang. I saw two Spanish cargo ships and started sailing!
Until the brigade arrived, more than a dozen blessing ships surrounded them, and hundreds of sailors climbed aboard three Spanish cargo ships, controlled the crews, then cut off the remaining sail ropes, and then used cables to tie the captured Spanish cargo ships to their own ships!
Zheng Zhilong arrived on the "Big Flying Fish" in a small boat. When he saw Li Dan and Yan Siqi, he clasped his fists and said, "Sea Master, Brother Yan, this fight was really good. Our brothers were not injured, and we captured three big ships. If this continues from now on, this sea will be ours!"
Li Dan smiled and patted Zheng Zhilong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Well done, you are the first one this time. According to the rules, you get one of the three ships, and the rest will be counted in the public account!"
Zheng Zhilong said with joy on his face: "Thank you Lord Hai!"
Yan Siqi said with a smile: "According to this idea, we can say that we are sure of winning Manila. But if we take Manila by then, what will happen to the Spaniards and natives?"
Li Dan pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid this matter can't be that simple. These three ships are just cargo ships traveling on the sea. There are Spanish warships stationed in Manila. I have seen their ships, which are much more powerful than these cargo ships. We still have to be careful!¡±
Yan Siqi thought that this was the case, and then nodded and said: "Haizhu has thought carefully, but Manila is definitely going to be attacked, and Haizhu has to make up his mind on how to fight!"
