Just when the coalition forces found the cause, the coalition's third round of artillery had also been fired. The distance between the two armies was already about four miles. "Yuan Aiqing, is this distance enough?" Zhu Youxiao said after the artillery bombing was completed, this It feels quite helpless, like a turtle facing a tiger. Although the tiger cannot eat itself for a while, it can continue to ravage and torture itself. It makes people feel aggrieved by the new wind. Although the Ming army's casualties in each round of shelling were a little smaller, it can be said that in such a combat environment, the casualties in the tens of digits were almost negligible, but how could they feel comfortable? Since Zhu Youxiao established the pro-army, this kind of combat plan of using lives to fill the distance has been used to deal with the enemy. Now the Ming army needs to use their lives to fill the distance of several miles, which really makes Zhu Youxiao feel unhappy. "Your Majesty, wait a little longer. When the distance is shortened by another mile, it will be the best time to attack. Now, please be patient for a while. Even if you use a power-charging device, because there is a distance difference of nearly three miles, it is really barely possible and cannot be done in one fell swoop. Defeat the enemy! " Yuan Keli felt the emperor's eagerness, but the distance was indeed a bit awkward. It was possible to catch up to two miles, but it was a little more difficult to catch up to a distance of two hundred feet. Judging distance and speed, this kind of vision is the most basic for naval battles. In the past year, Yuan Keli has a very detailed understanding of the speed and acceleration of cement ships. The current distance is not enough to reach the best position. The so-called best refers to the effect of a great victory that determines the outcome in one battle. "Look, the enemy's tactics have changed, and the fish wants to drag the hook." Zhu Youxiao looked at the opponent's fleet with a telescope. The coalition fleet, which should have turned its rudder and launched another broadside salvo, did not do so at this time. Instead, it formed a retreating formation and actually turned around and retreated. It is impossible to run. Obviously, what the opponent wants is to keep the distance and maintain the shooting range advantage continuously. "Your Majesty, as expected, the enemy saw the solidity of the cement ship and knew it was impossible to do anything. This is to follow the 'guerrilla' tactics of keeping a distance and bombarding them with artillery. In this way, our army can only slowly approach "The enemy's tactics did not deviate from the pre-war predictions. The Ming army made it clear that they were going to use the 'divine helmet' to close the distance and use 'close combat'. As long as the other party has some brains. They will all use this kind of guerrilla tactics of fighting while walking. "What Yuan Aiqing said makes sense. To swim is to walk, to attack is to hit. To swim without attacking is to escape. To attack without swimming is to fight desperately. It is obvious that the enemy has this mentality. Once the distance is opened, they will turn back!" Zhu You The colonel put down the telescope and said. "I believe that the moment when the enemy turns around is not far away." When Yuan Keli saw the enemy's behavior, he didn't understand the enemy's purpose. "What Yuan Aiqing said is true, but according to the situation of the battle, the opponent may not stay in one place and fire a few volleys." The two armies collided for the first time just now. The coalition side fired four volleys in a row, causing the two armies to collide. The distance between the army and the army was as close as four miles. After seeing how powerful the Ming army's ships were, how could they give the Ming army a chance to get closer? "Yes, Your Majesty, so I want to keep the distance between the two armies slightly shorter and speed up a little. This four-mile distance is hard-earned and the other side cannot be separated." One of the most important instructions in naval battles is ship speed. Now The speed of the Ming army's cement ships is obviously not as fast as that of the other party. Fortunately, there is a way for the cement ships to increase their speed, and that is the propeller. The way to drive the propeller can be directly driven by human or animal power. Of course, you can also use excess wind power or human and animal power to act on the power storage equipment, and then release it to drive the propeller to increase the ship's speed. The method proposed by Yuan Keli here is to use human and animal power to drive the propeller to increase the speed. "Okay! Let everything be as decided before the war. In addition, let the gunners practice more live ammunition. There are not many opportunities for this." There is no problem with the increase in speed, but this increase in speed is not the final solution to the problem. If this If the Ming army's artillery can show its power, it will be perfect. Because although the Ming army's artillery fire was small, they were all placed on the bow of the ship, which was quite suitable for pursuit battles. As long as the hit rate can be increased to one percent, the enemy will be the first to be overwhelmed in the constant pursuit. But now we can only leave it to fate. "Yes, Your Majesty." If you don't open the pot, it's okay, haven't you already smashed a ship? The amount of artillery fired against the opponent's fleet was very sparse, only a few, but it was not much different from the known number of cannons. This is an opportunity to practice more and treat it as live-fire training. After Yuan Keli passed the order, various departments began to take action one after another, and the gunners also became excited one by one. They couldn't help but be excited. Now in the entire fleet, they are the only means of attack. "Brothers, Your Majesty has been raising troops for thousands of days, but when he uses them for a short period of time, he always misses. I feel extremely guilty and feel guilty."?It's so fucking embarrassing, just use your strength and aim to hit! "On a cement ship, behind two cannons, a small colonel said angrily. It's quite embarrassing that the cannon can't hit the target, but the accuracy makes people helpless and extremely frustrated! Liu Hai is a The fisherman joined the army last year. With his strength and flexibility, he immediately joined a small school to work. With the cannons he received this month, he became the leader of the two cannons. He really likes it. The cannons, a series of procedures for loading and firing the cannons have led everyone to practice continuously, and the movements have begun to become standardized, but firing the cannon is an experience job, and it relies on the accuracy of the cannon accumulated over a long period of time, just like your understanding of firearms. You are very thorough, and you can load and disassemble a gun smoothly with your eyes closed, but if you have never fired a gun, how can you shoot a gun? "What the school officer said is that artillerymen are very accurate, even though they learned it late." Yes, but you can't kill the enemy to serve the country. The brothers feel uncomfortable on the one hand, and they are ashamed of their food and salary! " "I still don't believe it. If others can hit it right, we can hit it right. They are both carrying one head with two arms. Who is worse than the other? The Holy Spirit said, Quan should be trained. I don't know what will happen in this battle. At this time, there are a lot of cannonballs anyway, so take more aim. " A dozen or so sergeants were also helpless. What's the use of being confident? They hadn't even fired a few rounds of live ammunition. How difficult it was to hit each other. "Boom"! "Boom"! "Boom"! The Ming army's artillery began to move freely. Not to mention that the quality is not enough for the quantity, which makes sense. Seven or eight rounds of artillery hit, and two ships actually hit the target. The power of the shells was really incredible, facing the wood. The sailboat that was built had a big hole in it. A large number of the coalition forces on the ship were killed and injured. Water was also entering the cabin. Water kept entering. The sailors had to repair it regardless of the dead and injured comrades, but the hole was too big. It was so big that they could only abandon the ship and escape with the help of the parallel ships on both sides. It was Zorn's tactic to keep distance. In his opinion, the distance did not need to be large. A distance of ten miles could be used to fire a volley calmly. If you 'tease' the Ming army so slowly, it can't destroy your ship, nor can it break your weapons? As long as you destroy all your weapons, what else can the Ming army do besides ramming the ship? As long as you get close enough and keep bombarding, the people on the boat will either be bombarded to death or shocked to death. By then, you can expect a great victory! What's more important is that you can get the technology of building ships with cement. With the opponent's powerful cannons in hand, the Dutch's combat effectiveness will jump to the next level. But now they have retreated twenty or thirty miles, and they have not opened up the distance with the Ming army at all. They were still giving it without any hurry. However, the Ming army's cannons were originally placed on the bow of the ship, making it easy to engage in pursuit. Now the cannons were firing continuously, and it was really a fool's errand to let them do it. Destroying a ship will have a huge impact on the country. ¡°Commander Zorn, when will this happen? If we run away again, we will not be waging jihad among the Three Kingdoms. "Zorn, why don't we fight? What's the point of running away all the time?" This battle was really a wasteful one. "Catholics and people from other countries began to express their dissatisfaction. Zorn was also helpless. It was just a strategic shift to open up a distance to play with the Ming army, but the distance just couldn't be opened. What he did was It's quite passive. Turn around and fight. This plays into the Ming army's ambition. The Ming army's current goal is to get closer and fight. But not to fight, turning around is a strategy, but if you keep running like this, it will become a force behind the tail of the ship. Still the weakest, they didn't have much cannon power. Although the Ming army's cannons were not accurate, they fired with great enthusiasm, and they really killed two ships. This result directly led to a great decline in rusticity. However, I am really not familiar with this sea area. The Ming army is at the same speed as me. If it continues, when will it end? "Everyone, the Ming Dynasty is trying to get close to my fleet, whether it is to use the power of their crossbows. Or rely on ramming ships or jumping gangs to fight to the death? If we don't distance ourselves and fight back, wouldn't that be playing into the Ming Dynasty's plan? "Zorn said sadly. He really didn't expect that this battle would be so frustrating. He, a general who has been at sea for many years, turned around and was forced to be unable to turn back. "Push away? Commander Zorn, how can the distance between the Ming army and our army be increased? The speeds are almost the same. Are we going to have a long-distance race on this sea? If this continues, how long will this holy war last? " "Commander Zorn, the Ming Dynasty is chasing us now. Two ships have sunk into the ocean since the battle. Now the Ming army's artillery fire is constantly firing. Maybe the next moment, someone's character will come. If it breaks out and sinks another ship, it will be troublesome.
