1922: The Battle Begins

Dance hopes to arrive at the coastline of Manila this evening in order to send his tens of thousands of elite troops ashore. After seeing the power of the Ming air, these transport ships will have more danger for every day of staying at sea. At sea, they are unblocked, and the sinking of a ship will lead to the injuries and deaths of hundreds of soldiers, which he cannot afford.

But the opposite of Dansi's hope was that Qin Feng wanted to kill as much of the main force led by Dansi himself at sea as possible. On the territory of Manila, the main force of combat was Manila's local soldiers and some recruited retired soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. The combat capability was weaker than the power arranged by the Ming Dynasty in Pattaya and Yangang. Once a large number of troops of the Tiger Dynasty came ashore, it would probably cause great damage to Manila.

In Qin Feng's plan, he must deal with this army led by Danxi. Because they are Danxi's personal army. Only by defeating and destroying this force will it have a great effect on the subsequent arrangement of the Ming Dynasty.

The two fleets were walking opposite each other. At noon, when Dance saw the coastline in the distance, the shadow of the airship appeared on the left sky.

The airships attacked again, and the huge fleet of the Tiger Dynasty became panicked again. They really didn't have much resistance to such air strikes.

But what made Dancy care more was that the Ming army fleet following the airship appeared in the distance. The air force could no longer resist, but in the end there were only ten. When he saw that there were still only ten airships, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. His attention was not even on the airship. Since he could not resist, he could only bear silently.

The key is that he needs to defeat the enemy's fleet, which is his biggest enemy.

The enemy's fleet warships were beyond his expectations.

From the telescope, the other party's warships were divided into two groups, each with only more than ten warships, and the total number was only thirty.

The number of ships you have is ten times that of the other party.

If Dance faces an enemy that is ten times more than his own, he will only feel difficult without feeling no hope of victory. He only needs to concentrate his own strength, strike a certain part of the enemy, or directly attack the enemy's central army. As long as he causes enough losses to the enemy, no matter how many enemies collapse, it is expected.

But at sea, Dance would never think so. Battle at sea is a manifestation of real strength. Large ships eat small ships, and many ships eat small ships, which is almost a law. Here, there is no strategy to use. Once you meet head-on, you can only fight with bayonets and face to face.

What made him feel slow was that the other party's warship was completely different from what he imagined. The strange shape was as he moved forward and thick black smoke emerged from the hull, and dozens of black smoke rushed straight into the sky, which was spectacular.

They had no sails, but their speed was strange. In the short time he was observing, the other party had quickly approached. From the telescope, he could clearly see the other party's banner.

What a fast speed!

What a big battleship!

When he saw the enemy ship coming in the formation of Yanling, his mouth finally opened wide.

The enemy has two groups, several miles apart from each other, both in the shape of a goose feather formation, and the two leading warships are so large that they are worthy of the appearance of two to three warships in the Tiger Dynasty.

Without sails, there was no way to see the paddles. What did the other party rely on to drive such a huge warship? With a lot of questions, he looked at the airships flying in the air. It was obvious that the Mingren had something that he didn't know.

Magic? He suddenly remembered the liars who were once active in the Western Continent. He originally sniffed at this, but now his attitude has become shaky.

"Your Majesty!" Drop put down the telescope in his hand, obviously, he was also shocked.

"Appoint. All troop ships will immediately change their course, land as soon as possible, and use the fastest speed. The rest of the warships will follow me to fight the enemy ships and sink them." Dancy, who was awakened by Drop, immediately issued the order at the fastest speed.

The order was implemented at an extremely fast speed. More than a hundred warships changed their course and headed towards the oncoming Ming warships, while a large number of troop transport ships headed straight for the coastline that looked a little blurry in the distance.

"Your Majesty." Looking at the flying boats flying closer and closer, Drop suddenly felt a little uneasy, "Please change your Majesty and land with those troop ships. Please leave it to me to command the naval battle."

"When the battle is about to fight, how can I escape at the last minute?" Dancy was furious.

"Your Majesty, the other party has only twenty-three warships. How can you take such a small scene? "Drop found a high-sounding reason, "It's enough for me to take action. Your Majesty, I have been fighting in the navy. But please go ashore and watch on the shore how I sank these Ming people's warships one by one."

Dance was silent for a moment. In fact, like Drop, the strange warship opposite him had no idea. Hearing this reason, he finally nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll go ashore to command the battle and naval battle. I was not very familiar with Drop, you raise my king flag and command the battle on my behalf. But don't tell other warships that I've left."

"Of course, as long as Your Majesty's flag is raised, everyone will naturally come forward bravely like countless battles in the past." Drop said loudly.

Compared with the warships sailing on the sea, the airships in the air were much faster. When the ships on both sides could only look at each other from afar, the airships that were buzzing like mosquitoes had already flew over the Tiger Dynasty warships. When the soldiers of these warships panickedly searched for a place to avoid attacks from the sky, they found that the ten airships ignored them at all, but directly crossed them and flew towards the troop transport ships that were sailing desperately towards the coast.

Drop looked at the airships that were moving in the air with concern, and could only hope that His Majesty Dancy, who was already on the troop ships, could land safely.

The war has begun, and no matter how much worries you have, you will be in a mess. As a veteran on the battlefield, Drop quickly calmed down and turned his attention to the opposite warship.

He didn't know the long-range strike power of the opponent's warship, but this speed alone was enough to shock him. He had never seen a warship running so fast.

"Cater, strong crossbows are ready, speed up, rush over and drown them." Drop yelled and gave orders, hiding his inner anxiety with a loud voice.

According to the number of warships on both sides, as long as they fight together and get close to each other, with the strength of the warships themselves wearing armor in the Tiger Dynasty, and the long iron cone specially used for collision and demolition, victory can be seen. Only when the ship and sea tactics submerge them can they win with the absolute advantage above quantity.

In this naval battle, he could not compete with his ship's skills, let alone win with long-range weapons, because the opponent's warship was too fast, and only by drowning them can he completely kill the opponent's advantage.

From the telescope, he saw that except for the other party's particularly tall warship, which was covered with iron armor, the rest were all wooden warships, and their size was not much different from that of his own warships.

In the sky, Han Dang was driving an airship and looked at the densely packed trooping ships under him, moving desperately towards the distant coastline as the boat flew over. It seemed that they could not resist the attack from the air, so their speed seemed to be as fast as if they were driving.

"Reduce the height and show me the bombs!" Han Dang's airship was the first to lower down.

There may be many powerful crossbows on the warship, but Han Dang sneered like this kind of transport ship. He searched carefully in the telescope just now, but did not find it.

The height of the airship continued to be lowered. When it was only a hundred meters above the sea surface, the airship in the sky began to drop bombs downwards. When the first bomb exploded accurately on the transport ship, Han Dang happily waved his fist, so that he could only beat others by himself, and the feeling that others dared not touch his butt was so good.

The continuous explosions caused great fear to more than 100 transport ships. While they tried hard to speed up, they kept increasing the distance between them. During their navigation, they continued to adopt a son-shaped navigation route. Although this would sacrifice part of the forward speed, in theory, they could effectively avoid attacks from the sky.

Dance's warship was one of them. The ship he was on was not only the most elite soldiers, but also the sailors who were driving the ship were the most outstanding. While flexibly avoiding the attacks in the sky and the possible collisions of left and right friends, he sailed to the land at an extremely fast speed.

Han Dang's happiness did not last long. As the enemy spread wider and wider on the sea surface, his offensive efficiency became lower and lower. Most of the bombs basically fell into the sea water. The collision between the power descending from the sky and the sea water still detonated the bomb, but except for arousing a large number of waves that surged into the sky, there was no more result.

If you hit an enemy ship at this time, it will be a great fortune.

"Stop the bombing and wait for them to get ashore before fucking them!" Han Dang issued anger and ordered to stop dropping bombs. He ascended the height and headed towards the coastline with the warships.

On the sea in the distance, the warships of both sides were close to within several miles, and the main gun of the Dachu had entered a state of waiting to be launched.

Qin Feng put down the telescope in his hand, but Zhou Li beside him waved his hand and shouted: "Main gun, chain bullet, fire!"
