- Hoo ho ho!
Emma couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she saw the battleship on the opposite side actually stretched out its wooden oars.
After following Zhao Hongyu for such a long time, the little girl's vision has already become higher. She is no longer the little Indian girl who has never seen the world.
That¡¯s why she reacted like this.
Like Emma, ??Sara, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but shake her head.
"It seems that we are sure to win this naval battle. In fact, we don't need to command anything at all. We can just let the captains perform freely. If we can't even defeat such an opponent, we and the captains can really go He¡¯s dead.¡±
When Sarah said such things, it was not because she thought highly of herself.
But she knew how powerful the Song Empire¡¯s warships were.
As someone who comes from that part of Europe that has been developing the sea for hundreds of years, she certainly knows what the strength of battleships is.
It can be said that the warships of the Song Empire were far beyond this era.
And the enemy they encountered today actually used the backward technology of the Roman era in naval battles.
Such an enemy, such backward technology, and tactics.
How could the imperial fleet with its new warships not win?
Even the most elite European fleet of this era will still lose when it encounters the Imperial fleet.
The Dutch and Spanish in the Caribbean are role models.
Emma looked back at Sara, and she agreed with Sara's words.
At this time, the little girl Emma was wearing a European-style women's full-body armor, and it was very well made.
This armor was custom-made by Zhao Hongyu from virtual time and space out of bad taste.
The armor made using modern craftsmanship technology is simply not comparable to the armor of this era.
Sarah was wearing a women's half-length armor, paired with a dark blue dress. She had her hair tied behind her head, giving her a bit of the mature demeanor of 'my king'. She also has a big long sword, which makes it more like it.
¡°All of this comes from Zhao Hongyu¡¯s bad taste.
But Sarah and Emma were very satisfied with their respective outfits.
Emma is satisfied with the armor's defensive power.
Sarah is satisfied with the aristocratic atmosphere.
How do they know what little thoughts their men have?
In fact, Zhao Hongyu just did a small cosplay experiment with them.
Now it seems that it is actually quite successful.
"Order, the captains of each ship fire and attack on their own to avoid engaging in boarding battles with each other."
Sarah gave the order for Emma.
The flag bearer waved the signal flag to convey the order.
After receiving the order, the captains of each battleship immediately ordered the battleships to leave the fleet one after another.
For a time, all the warships in the direction of the Song Empire fleet started moving.
Only the two heavily armed battleships directly under Sarah and Emma, ??as well as their own flagship, did not move.
Viewed from the air, after the Song Empire's warships started to move, they looked like a crane spreading its wings, with its wings surrounding the flanks of the Maori Dragon Fleet.
If you really want to say what it looks like, then I can only say that it is a bit like the Crane Wing Formation on the sea.
In fact, those captains did not want to create some kind of crane wing formation.
These guys simply want to surround and annihilate the enemy.
It¡¯s just that they don¡¯t know and they do it themselves.
It seems like they are making some kind of formation.
"Come on! Charge harder!"
Maolilong couldn't help shouting loudly. He felt the flagship getting faster and faster, and his heartbeat slowly accelerated.
At this time, the enemy's artillery has become scarce.
At the same time, they also moved their positions.
Mao Lilongzao couldn't help but feel proud. He thought his guess was very correct.
The enemy's artillery shells have been exhausted, and they can no longer fire at themselves as before.
As long as the opponent's artillery is useless, he will have the confidence to defeat the opponent in a boarding battle.
"Sir, the enemy's warship has begun to move, and according to observations, it moves very fast."
Legitimate gross profitWhen he was so proud, Qi Ben, carrying a small flag, suddenly came to him and reported.
Nani! ?
The enemy¡¯s warship is very fast?
Maori Ryuzo was a little confused as to why Hatamoto had to inform him about such a trivial matter.
Although he was very puzzled, he still picked up the monocular telescope purchased from the Nanman people with a lot of money, put it against his right eye socket and looked towards the opposite sea.
In Maori Ryuzao's eyes, the sails on the three poles of the foreign warships opposite were all spread out. At the same time, a triangular sail on the bow was also spread out, and their warships were sailing quickly on the sea.
Just by observing it from such a long distance, you can tell that the speed of the opponent's warship is not slow.
After all, he is a general at sea. This thing cannot be difficult for Mao Lilong to build.
Hiss!
After estimating the opponent's speed, Maori Ryuzao couldn't help but take a breath of air.
In his estimation, the speed of the opponent's warship is at least twice that of his own warship.
This is a very worrying thing.
Without him, if the enemy leaves the battlefield at such a speed, he will not be able to effectively intercept him, and in the end he can only watch the opponent leave.
And if the enemy doesn't run away and wants to fight with you, how can you get close to the opponent and start a boarding battle?
You must know that the speed of the warships under your command is not as fast as that of the other party.
If you can't catch up with the enemy, there's no way to engage in close combat.
Mao Lilongzao couldn't help but frown.
This is not over yet. Those warships that had sailed to the planned encirclement position in the early stage now turned sideways and started bombarding again.
This is what makes Mao Lilongzao most puzzled.
????????? Baga, how can the other party still be able to fire, and at such a long distance.
Immediately, he thought about the opponent's artillery range.
He suddenly turned into a bitter face.
Road wolves, these enemies are so perverted.
Now, feeling the pressure, Maori Ryuzao must admit that his opponent is a very perverted existence.
¡°Besides, he couldn¡¯t help but deny it.
They themselves are also people who make a living at sea, and they are very familiar with things at sea.
If they are allowed to say that the other party is not as good as them, they will not be able to say it out loud.
Compared with later generations, the Japanese in this era are still a little more shameless, aren't they?
¡°Well, judging from the sailing direction of the opponent¡¯s warships, they are trying to surround us.
Soon, Mao Lilongzuo found out the way.
As a general who is proficient in naval warfare, it is actually impossible to hide some things about the imperial fleet from Ryuuzou Mori.
¡°If he was the kind of person who was uneducated and incompetent, Shogun Ishida Hiroshi would not have been able to entrust him with important responsibilities.
And it is impossible for Lai Lai and his daughter to win over him.
Precisely because he is not the kind of person who is uneducated, but has some ability, and he is really capable.
¡°Asshole, this is so disrespectful. They actually created the Crane Wing Formation for me in a naval battle. Are they looking down on me too much?
After watching for a while, Mao Lilongzao¡¯s expression changed.
Because he looked around and immediately saw the problem.
The enemies on the opposite side are obviously using land battle formations to deal with themselves.
My God.
How much self-confidence is required to achieve this.
Of course, while I am confident, I also deeply look down on myself.
Mao Lilongzao felt a fire starting to rise in his heart.
However, his brain still retains a trace of clarity.
He knows that he must not be driven crazy by the enemy's tactics. If he really reacts like this, he will be fooled.
At the same time, facing the situation where the enemy wanted to surround him with the Crane Wing Formation, he needed to make arrangements immediately to deal with it.
A battle at sea is not like a battle on the road.
Every order and response, as well as layout and arrangements, take a long time.
??????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the enemy
This is why the captains of the Imperial Fleet confidently used the Crane Wing Formation to prepare to surround the Mori Dragon Fleet.
People¡¯s instant messaging is very developed.
Today, if Ryuuzou Mouri wants to escape from the dangerous situation of being surrounded, there are not many ways out in front of him.
What he can do now is to rush directly and break out of the encirclement that is about to be formed.
"Otherwise, it will hit the fleet and attack in one direction.
But no matter what, what he did was to break out of the circle that was about to be formed.
Apart from that, he has no other choice.
If he doesn't do this, then when the encirclement is formed, he will be surrounded and bombarded in the center.
Now more and more imperial fleets have arrived at the predetermined position, and began to turn sideways and fire at the advancing Maori fleet.
With this situation, the pressure on Maori's fleet suddenly increased a lot.
Although he ordered the warships under his command to speed up, what Mao Li didn't expect was that he rushed forward and the enemy retreated.
He rushed to the left, and the enemy retreated to the left.
??And the warships under his command are not as fast as others.
Therefore, all his plans ultimately came to nothing.
At this point, Mao Lilongzao realized that he was now completely trapped.
Because the opponent is fast, his opponent can easily get rid of him and escape from the battlefield.
Looking back on this advantage, it can be said that if you want to run away, you can be easily caught up by these enemy warships.
I¡¯m going to do it!
Why did you end up with such an enemy?
After thinking about this, Maori Longzao felt like crying now.
The cannonballs all around continued to fall, and some fell into the sea, causing waves of splashes and water jets.
Some landed on the surrounding warships, directly penetrating the hull or breaking the poles.
The pole is broken, which is a big problem for the battleship.
You must know that the navigation of a warship relies on poles and sails.
Fortunately, in addition to poles and sails, Japanese armored ships also had wooden oars.
Otherwise, those ships whose masts were broken would completely lose their navigation ability and become useless.
Even so, the speed of these ships also changed, and they were almost unable to move.
The shells in the air exploded one by one, and the fragments of the bombs shot out in a radiating pattern and hit the hulls of the warships within the target.
There were also chain bombs flying sideways, flying and circling, and they were fired horizontally. Whenever they encountered something blocking them along the way, whether it was a human body or something else, they were basically split into two sections. The one in the middle of the chain bombs was The power of an iron chain cannot be underestimated.
In addition to blooming bullets and chain bullets, there are also solid bullets that are constantly falling.
Although these solid iron bullets don¡¯t look very powerful.
However, these seemingly ineffective solid bullets will penetrate the deck of the wooden hull as long as they hit the hull.
This is more worrying than dozens of dead soldiers.
You must know that the warships of this era were all made of wood.
And if the hull is penetrated, water will leak.
If water leaks, it means the ship will sink.
¡°If a ship sinks, it doesn¡¯t matter that all the soldiers on the ship will die as well.
Damn it, the enemy warships have completed the encirclement net, and now we can't get out.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Mao Lilongzao thought to himself with a gray face.
He felt that these enemies were too perverted.
Although he has made errors in judgment from the beginning of the war to the present.
But he knew very well that even if he did not make any mistakes in judgment, he would not be a match for these enemies.
First of all, there is no need to talk about the opponent¡¯s battleships.
Such a warship looks much more sophisticated than the Nanman warships.
¡°And the range of these enemies¡¯ artillery is more than twice as far as that of the Nanman.
At the same time, their battleships were very fast, which could not be compared to the armored ships under their command.
Therefore, even if you follow the regular fighting style and fight against yourself in an upright manner, you will not be able toMay be the opponent of these people. If you wait until your own fails, there will be no other result.
¡°Besides, am I not upright this time?
The same goes for the enemy.
Failure is failure, and you can¡¯t find any excuse.
Now that I have been surrounded, there is absolutely no way out.
The enemy's artillery fired continuously, and the shells fell like raindrops.
It is only a matter of time before the entire army is wiped out.
Because he really has no ability to lead his fleet out of the enemy's encirclement.
To be honest, the enemy's tactics are a bit clumsy.
If you take a step forward, they will take a step back.
He led the fleet to the left, and they also retreated to the left.
In short, these guys rely on their speed to maintain distance and advantage over themselves.
Furthermore, one's own fleet is always within the range of the opponent's artillery.
At the same time, the enemy's encirclement has been completed, and there is no way out.
UnlessI surrenderI don't know why, but Mao Lilongzao suddenly had such an idea in his heart. (To be continued.
