But those novice who have never experience combat are less courageous.
I have never seen a battle in front of me, a huge body facing the sea, and a large number of imperial warships are countless.
Many people’s dignified expressions don’t know when they will be replaced by paleness. What’s more, some people’s hands and legs have begun to tremble because of nervousness.
Faced with this situation, officers and old gunners who have scattered thousands of people know that only fighting and victory can dispel the tension in these people’s hearts and turn them into real soldiers.
As soon as the mighty imperial warships entered the range of the cannon, the firing order roared out from the heads of the two heavy artillery regiments.
Then all kinds of firing orders came from the mouth of the company commander
call out
These command the gunners with torches to quickly ignite the tail of the barrel, and the matchrope extends from the gun bore. As the matchrope ignites, the tail of the barrel slowly disappears, and a deafening roar sounds like thunder.
"Boom ….." In the violent explosion, more than 100 flowering bombs flew out of the gun bore with a roar and then flew to the sea with a unique scream. There were still more than two or three miles away from the imperial navy.
I don’t know whether it is because the gunner is too nervous or because the imperial navy has not yet entered the range. More than 100 flowering bombs have not hit the sea dozens of steps ahead of the imperial navy of the target tribe.
More than 100 flowering bombs exploded directly with thick water columns. During the explosion, the flowering bombs rose from the sea and formed a dense water column network in front of the imperial navy fleet.
In this case, the imperial navy was really shocked by the battle of more than 100 flowering bombs, but when they saw clearly that none of the more than 100 flowering bombs hit the target, the shock in the hearts of the imperial navy generals was directly ridiculed and covered.
Yeah, it’s a mockery. There’s nothing about the shooting skills of the Tiger and Leopard artillery.
But at this moment, they all ignore a problem, that is, the artillery of Tiger and Leopard Army is far beyond the range of the red artillery, and they are doomed to lose their lives because of their neglect and ridicule.
As more than 100 imperial warships continued to rush to Dengzhou Harbor, two heavy artillery regiments fired a second round of flowering bombs and roared over their heads again.
At this time, more than 100 flower bombs returned without success.
The first three imperial vessels were directly hit by seven flowering shells.
You know, these shells are flowering shells, not solid shells equipped by the imperial navy
In the imperial court, warships were equipped with wooden warships instead of iron-clad warships of later generations.
How can the warship materials that have been dried thoroughly withstand the attack of flowering bombs?
When the first flowering bomb fell on the deck of a warship and exploded, the thick deck of the warship was directly blown out of a big hole. Not only that, the wood at the gap of the deck was actually ignited by the fireball generated by the explosion of the flowering bomb.
Of course, this is only the destruction of warships by flowering bombs.
The explosion of the flowering bomb produced a large number of shell fragments, just like a steel storm quickly swept away to the officers and men of the imperial navy around.
In a blink of an eye, a dozen officers and men gathered on the deck of the warship and were still hitting the spot. They screamed and threw themselves on the deck of the warship. Life and death were uncertain …
With a full face of shock, the imperial loyalist left in the warship looked at the deck burning with a big hole, and the second flowering bomb had come to their heads again with a roar.
What’s more important is that this flowering bullet is unbiased and falls right on the ship’s string.
When the flowering bomb exploded, the ship’s string was blown out of a huge gap, and at the same time, the gap directly spread to the waterline hull of the warship, so the seawater could not be exhausted, just like the flood burst into the ship’s cabin, and suddenly the Nuodafu ship began to tilt due to the influx of a large amount of seawater.
Two warships were also shelled, and the result was even more tragic than this warship in front of us. One warship was directly blown into two parts, while the other warship was blown out of two huge gaps. Just after a cup of tea, a large amount of seawater flooded into the ship’s cabin and died in the sea.
In a blink of an eye, three lucky boats are gone, and there are more than 100 imperial navy officers and soldiers struggling to wait for rescue with screams on the sea.
But in this life-and-death crisis, will anyone rescue these officers and men who fell into the water? The answer is yes.
Because three imperial navy ships were buried in the sea one after another, the third round was the fourth round of flowering bombs, which swept them like rain.
When another warship was blown up in the explosion of flowering bombs, two imperial navy divisions left nearly 100 warships facing death and overwhelming flowering bombs, and they lost their courage to continue fighting and began to retreat under the command of their respective generals.
But warships are not war horses, and the sea is not land.
It takes a long time for a fast-running horse on the battlefield to really turn its horse’s head to retreat, and even worse, it will take 30 to 40 battles for a navy warship with a huge hull.
Although the order of the general officers at all levels of the navy division to retreat was reached, nearly 100 imperial warships still braved the wind and waves to continue to March to Dengzhou Harbor.
And the closer they get to Dengzhou Harbor, the more accurate the shooting of flowering bullets by the Tiger and Leopard heavy artillery regiment becomes.
More importantly, several imperial warships were sunk in succession, and this result was like a stimulant to the soldiers of the 2,000 heavy artillery regiment, which gradually stabilized the morale of the 2,000 gunners.
With the morale, these gunners are getting better and better at shooting the bullet.
Seeing that the sea is getting closer and closer to the harbor, the two thousand gunners of the imperial navy fleet are even more excited than taking stimulants. No, sir, he ordered him to try his best to shoot a flowering bomb at the target as quickly as possible.
Nearly a hundred imperial warships finally turned around at sea and prepared to retreat. By the time, one warship had been buried at the bottom of the sea.
However, even if they successfully turn around and withdraw from the Tiger and Leopard Army cannon, the effective range is small and they need to bear five rounds of flowering bombs from the Tiger and Leopard Army.
But no one knows how many imperial warships will be buried in this sea after these five rounds of flowering bombs.
The imperial navy finally withdrew from the battlefield during the rumbling cannon.
The gun stopped just now, but the battlefield was very lively. At this moment, it became quiet directly. If there were not two warships still floating on the sea, it would not be obvious that this sea had just experienced an unprecedented fierce naval battle.
Chapter five hundred and thirty Liaodong dilemma
"The commander won, we won … fourteen ships were buried at the bottom of the sea … I can see clearly that these ships were destroyed by our launching of flowering bombs …" The fleet lieutenant came in a hurry with two field divisions and all artillery units, and his eyes were shining directly with excitement.
Li Xinlong nodded his head and affirmed, "It’s a victory … but the strength of this navy fleet is there after all … Although more than a dozen large-scale lucky ships have been lost, more than 90 warships are still beyond our control …"
"So the situation we are facing is still very serious and we still can’t relax …"
The lieutenant nodded his head and affirmed, "Commander, you are right … I don’t know what you are going to do next?"
Li Xinlong didn’t hesitate to answer, "Judging from the situation just now, the imperial court sent this navy fleet. Obviously, I didn’t expect that we would arrange so many heavy guns in the port and then just lost more than a dozen large-scale lucky boats at one time in the attack …"
"Is to let will not think that this imperial navy was so afraid of death … just being shelled, it hastily retreated … otherwise, the loss of this navy fleet in this artillery battle will be even greater …"
"But this reaction of the imperial fleet just tells us that they haven’t made a decisive battle with us. After just a few days of loss, the imperial navy dare not attack us again …"
"What we need to do is to make good use of this period to let more navy soldiers board warships for training, so that our fleet strength will become stronger and stronger, and finally protect several divisions to reinforce troops and break through the imperial navy to intercept and reinforce Liaodong …"
In the next few days, the imperial navy retreated out of the range of the tiger and leopard cannon, and it was really like Li Xinlong’s judgment that there was no more action from him.
More than 90 warships lined up outside Dengzhou Harbor to form an impenetrable sea defense line.
It is obvious that the cannon in red is not the opponent of the tiger and leopard army cannon. The imperial navy commander directly grasped the weakness that the tiger and leopard army has no real navy fleet. He believed that the tiger and leopard army could not resist the coastal defense line and blocked the tiger and leopard army reinforcements in Dengzhou …
When both that enemy and the enemy work hard for their own purpose and ideas.
