Chapter 712 It's the responsibility of killing people!
Chapter 712: You are responsible for killing someone to silence him!
Seviara stared at Zhang Zhun with a little surprised look. He still knew the Virgin Mary? How much did he know about Britain? She felt more and more that Zhang Zhun felt a little unfathomable. As a last resort, Seviara had to raise her hand, learn from the Ming people, and swear: "I, the British woman Seviara, promised Virgin Mary that she would tell the Brigadier General the art of the cannon technology I knew and would never hide it."
Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction and said sternly: "Seviara, go back to your warship, attack the Dutch, kill and silence people. If they are asked to escape back and inform, you must be very clear about the consequences!"
Seviara said happily: "Of course! Brigadier General, you are such a good person!"
After saying that, he suddenly rushed up and kissed Zhang Zhun heavily on the face.
Zhang Zhun was caught off guard and was kissed hard. The soldiers of the Hu Ben Army next to him immediately turned their heads terriblely and felt extremely sympathetic to Zhang Zhun's experience. How uncomfortable it would be to be kissed by such a monster!
Sure enough, Zhang Zhun shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Do you think you are not doing it!"
But Seviara had already run away happily.
Zhang Zhun reached out to wipe off the kiss mark on his cheek with a little embarrassed. It felt strange, these rude British people! They dared to kiss themselves in public! After rubbing the kissed place on his cheek again, Zhang Zhun said to Zhang Haibin: "Haibin, order the entire army to launch an attack. No matter how much the price it costs, they must kill these two Dutch warships!"
Since we decided to cooperate with the British temporarily, we must show some sincerity. These two Dutch warships must not be spared. If they were asked to escape and inform the senior executives of the Dutch East India Company of the relevant situation, the Hu Ben Army would have great trouble in the near future. It would be strange if the Dutch was beaten to death with a brigade general, it would be strange if he gave up.
On the contrary, as long as both Dutch warships are killed, I believe that it will take at least one or even a few years for the Dutch to figure out the truth. The Bohai Bay is indeed too far away from the South Ocean. The Clippers alone will have to run for a month. After such a period of time, the strength of the Hu Ben Navy can be greatly enhanced.
Zhang Haibin immediately sent the flag words out.
The surrounding Tiger Army warships immediately rushed towards the two Dutch warships.
The two Dutch warships hesitated for a moment, as if they were measuring whether to retreat or fight. If they faced, they might not be able to win. But if they retreated like this, they seemed to be unable to bring this face down. The Dutch were the strongest maritime force in East Asia, and retreating like this would damage the Dutch's face. In the end, they chose to fight.
"The Dutch are still a little arrogant."
Zhang Zhun frowned quietly, and then slowly stretched out.
He was also worried that the Dutch warships would immediately flee. The Cangshan ship was an offshore warship and could only fight within the Bohai Bay. Once the Dutch warships ran to the wide sea surface of the Yellow Sea, the Cangshan ship would be in danger. Without these Cangshan ships, which were like wolves and tigers, and without the assistance of the Dabai Fleet, relying on the captured backward blessed ships, it would definitely be impossible to intercept these two Dutch warships.
Now, the Dutch chose to fight, just in line with Zhang Zhun's wish. It can be seen that the Dutch should not care much about themselves and did not really take it seriously. Although there are many warships under his command, about thirty of them, in terms of tonnage and artillery fire, there is indeed nothing worthy of praise. In the eyes of people, Cangshan ship is as big as a mosquito.
Maybe the Dutch were still thinking that even Zheng Zhilong dared to provoke them. These warships of unknown origin dared to siege them? Since you are going to come up, let you see the power of the Dutch Navy!
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The fierce sound of cannons stirred up again.
The fires continued to burst out on the warships of both sides, illuminating the nearby sea surface. A large number of solid bombs fell messily on the water surface, splashing a series of water columns. The water column was blown away by the north wind and turned into a mass of water mist. The waves were constantly excited and became more and more intense. Even Zhang Zhun, who was outside the battlefield, could feel the ups and downs of the warship.
Seviara's warship also joined in the battle. Compared with the Huben Army, the British wanted to kill and silence them. Otherwise, once the Dutch learned about their news, they would definitely send a stronger fleet to the north. If they wanted to survive, they had to deal with all the Dutch and let the other Dutch people not guess where they were.
Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and carefully observed every detailed movement of the British warship led by Seviara. It can be seen that this British warship was commanded by the British man named Sean. In the real naval battle, Seviara was just a mess. This is obvious. It is absolutely impossible for a little girl Seviara to say how rich combat experience she has.
Every move shown by this British warship surprised Zhang Zhun secretly, and even a little bit of admiration. He was the first time he had witnessed the warships of Western powers after he came to this world. Compared with his previous naval opponents, the combat effectiveness of the British warships was obviously better.
Yes, this is a professional pirate. Whether it is to seize the upper hand or in artillery, the technology of British warships and Dutch warships is stronger than that of the Hu Ben Navy. Perhaps the difference cannot be seen when sailing in normal times. However, once you enter a naval battle, this difference will be manifested immediately. In naval battle, subtle differences may determine the outcome of a battle.
Due to the influence of the sea ban policy, the Ming people's naval combat technology was at least one hundred years behind the Western powers. This was a considerable distance. Although Zhang Zhun tried quite hard and fully utilized the advantages of the time traveler and invested huge amounts of money in the navy. However, it was not so easy to shorten this distance. Naval combat technology was not achieved overnight, and it required long-term accumulation of experience, nor was it possible for him to do it alone. It required the efforts of all personnel of the Hu Ben Navy.
The British naval combat tactics also evolved from generation to generation of pirates. It took at least a hundred years of precipitation to achieve today's combat effectiveness. The same is true for the Dutch. From the rise of the Age of Discovery to the present, more than a hundred years have passed. Over the past hundred years, the Western powers have been constantly improving. Navigation technology and naval combat technology are undergoing rapid changes every day. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty is closing itself and leaving itself out of contact with the ocean.
It is not a shame to admit that you are behind, you can only be brave after knowing your shame. In the era of great navigation, Ming Dynasty was indeed behind. Since you are behind, you must catch up and catch up. Technical things may be solved by using the advantages of time travelers, but the experience of naval warfare and the tactics of naval warfare cannot be accumulated in a short time. If you rely on yourself to explore alone, it is really difficult!
Seviara's father and others have been beaten to death by the Dutch. In other words, they have lost the foundation for survival and it is quite difficult to even go back to Britain. They are the wanted targets of the Dutch, and merchant ships from other countries cannot take them in. It is not impossible to rely on the small boat they ride on to return to Europe from Asia. It is not that it is completely impossible. In theory, it is absolutely possible, but in fact whether it can be done is another matter.
If Seviara and the others want to go back to Britain, they must ride larger warships. For example, warships with displacement of more than 1,000 tons. However, I believe that in the next twenty or thirty years, the British will not be able to have more powerful warships to come to East Asia. Before resolving the Dutch, the British will not be able to expand outward. Moreover, the British will soon fall into a civil war again, and Cromwell will fight Charles I hard and have no mind to care about the outside world.
In other words, if Seviara and the others want to go back to Britain, they must have their own large warship with sufficient combat effectiveness. Even a warship may not be enough, and they may need a fleet. Because, as long as Seviara reveals her identity, the Dutch will definitely not let her go. The Dutch have dozens of large warships in East Asia. Can she escape the pursuit of these Dutch warships?
Compared to returning to the UK, Seviara is more realistic to stay in East Asia for the time being. In the short term, before the Dutch forgets them, they should not make any moves and not let the Dutch discover their existence. After ten or eight years, the Dutch gradually forgot this matter and relax their pursuit of them. Perhaps they still have a glimmer of vitality. At present, they can only seek protection from the Hu Ben Army. As long as they are under the protection of the Hu Ben Army, there will be no danger for the time being.
This Saiviara knows Chinese. If she can give advice on the operation of the Hu Ben Navy, it should be of great benefit. As long as the Hu Ben Army's warship can reach the level of this British warship in terms of flexibility, manipulation and artillery techniques, the combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben Navy can be greatly improved overall. At least, there is no problem to use it to deal with Zheng Zhilong.
Well, Zhang Zhun admitted that he definitely did not have the complex of admiring foreign countries. He never passed the English exam in his previous life. However, if he could use British naval combat tactics to improve the combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben Army Navy, he would not mind admiring foreign countries. The Hu Ben Army could not help Sai Viala and his pirate subordinates in vain, right?
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
On the sea, fierce battles were very fierce, with the sound of cannons rumbling and gunpowder smoke filled the air.
Compared with the previous naval battle, this time it was a real life-and-death battle. Therefore, both sides used their strength to try to destroy each other. The Cangshan ship was crazy, the Dutch warships were crazy, and the British warships were crazy.
Less than a cup of tea in the battle, a Cangshan boat was beaten and covered in bruises and had to temporarily withdraw from the battle. The mast of the Cangshan boat was broken in the waist, the sails were torn into pieces, and the sailors on the boat were also seriously injured and injured. The ship was covered with blood, and broken limbs and arms everywhere, which was a terrible sight.
Then, two more Cangshan boats were hit and had to withdraw from the battle. Their situation was even more serious than the previous Cangshan boat. Not only was the mast broken, the sails were torn apart, but there was even serious water leakage. In the end, both Cangshan boats sank, and the surviving sailors on the boat swam to the blessed boat next to them.
Since its establishment, no warships have been sunk on the spot. This is the first time today. Both Cangshan ships were smashed through the deck and bottom cabin by continuous solid bullets, and then sank into the water. This is indeed a great excitement for the vast number of Hu Ben Navy soldiers. They launched an attack on the Dutch warships even more frantically, vowing to sink the other side and take revenge.
The artillery fire of the two Dutch warships is indeed very fierce, and the landing point of the shells is quite accurate. You can tell at a glance that this is a warship that has been experienced for a long time, and is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary armed merchant ships. The warships that can come from far away Europe to East Asia will certainly not be the role of a soft-legged shrimp, and they are somewhat capable.
Of course, they sank the two Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Navy. If they want to not pay a little price, it would not work. The surrounding Cangshan ships were siege like crazy, and the Dutch were unable to get busy. As a result, the sails of the two Dutch warships were torn apart by chain blasts, which had a little impact on their flexible maneuver.
In the cruel naval battle, a little bit of impact may bring fatal consequences. Because of the loss of flexible maneuvers and the inability to evade in time, the Dutch warships suffered more shells. A large number of solid bombs, grape bombs and chain bombs all fell on the Dutch warships. The two Dutch warships were quite solid and did not suffer major damage for the time being.
The artillery fire of Saveyara's warship was also very fierce. After the two Cangshan ships sank, she quickly inserted it, seized the space, and made a fierce artillery fire at the Dutch warship. Although the Dutch warship whose sails were torn apart were very vigilant and counterattacked quickly, the sails were torn apart by more chain blasts, resulting in a further decrease in mobility.
One has increased and the other has decreased, and the decrease in the maneuver power of the Dutch warships means that they will bear more shells. Sure enough, grasping the inconvenience of movement of the Dutch warships, the Cangshan ship of the Hu Ben Navy rushed on like a pack of wolves, and continued to pour a large number of shells onto the Dutch warships. For a time, the top of the Dutch warships was also covered in blood, with heavy casualties.
Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and carefully observed the battlefield. The Dutch artillery fire and the British artillery fire were indeed subtle differences. The British artillery seemed to be stronger. It seemed that there were historical records that the British's training of gunners was so cruel that it was outrageous. Even the Navy Minister secretly shuddered. Strict training, combined with advanced technology and advanced tactics, finally created the position of British maritime overlords.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the rear mast of a Dutch warship was interrupted by a chain blast.
The heavy sail fell down with the rear mast and smashed it hard in the direction of the stern. The fall of the rear mast still pulled the middle mast seriously, causing the middle mast to tilt. For this reason, the Dutch sailors on the mast were desperately waving their axes and trying to cut off all the cables. However, the grape bombs fired by the Tiger Army Navy kept knocking the Dutch sailors off the mast, seriously hindering their movements. As a result, the Dutch warship was pulled by the sails and showed a significant inclination.
More than a dozen Cangshan ships besieged two Dutch warships and adopted wolf pack tactics, but their advantages were still obvious. Although they had to pay a considerable price, they effectively caused damage to the Dutch warship. It was absolutely impossible for this Dutch warship whose rear mast was broken to escape quickly. This means that it could only die here in battle.
Another Dutch warship realized something was wrong and immediately retreated quickly and tried to evacuate south. At this time, the Dutch also woke up. The Hu Ben Navy was going to kill them to silence them! Their main task now is not to show the combat effectiveness of the Dutch Navy and maintain the dignity of the Dutch people, but to evacuate quickly, inform the relevant information to the senior management of the East India Company and send more fleets to come.
However, Seviara's British warship could not allow the Dutch warship to leave. So she followed the other side tightly. At the same time, five Cangshan ships were also chasing each other. The other five Cangshan ships quickly headed south and tried to intercept the fleeing Dutch warship. As a result, the Dutch warship was quickly entangled again and had to enter the battle state again.
"laugh!"
"laugh!"
"laugh!"
In the middle of the sound of cannons, he kept hearing strange sounds, which were the sound of chain bombs tearing apart the sails. The Dutch warships were about to escape, and the Tiger Army Navy and Saiviara's British warships naturally desperately poured chain bombs into the other side, tearing the other side's sails apart first to make the other side lose motivation. Sure enough, the Dutch warships were torn apart by a large number of chain bombs, and slowly had to stop.
Seviara's warship followed, desperately pouring grape bullets into the Dutch warship to kill Dutch sailors. The five Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Navy also stuck them up madly, and also pouring grape bullets into the Dutch warship. At this time, both sides were already red in their eyes and didn't care about the casualties at all, but just wanted to completely destroy the other party.
"Crash!"
"Crash!"
"Crash!"
A large number of grape bombs were shot out, like raindrops, falling overwhelmingly on the Dutch warships, causing a large number of casualties. At the same time, the Dutch warships were not to be outdone, and also poured out a large number of grape bombs to prevent the Cangshan ship and the British warships from approaching, and also caused a large number of sailors to be killed or injured.
Under the cover of grape bombs, the most miserable ones are the sailors on the masts. No matter which country's navy is, sailing players are very important roles when fighting. Without them adjusting the sails quickly and flexibly, warships cannot move quickly. It is precisely for this reason that they are also the most likely targets to be shot by the enemy in naval battles. They have no obstacles on the high masts, and they are simply a living target!
Whether it is a solid bullet, a chain bullet, or a grape bullet, it can cause huge harm to the sailboat on the mast. If it is hit by a solid bullet, the consequences can naturally be imagined. It will be smashed into meat sauce on the spot. As for being hit by a chain bullet, it will be even more dead. It is better to divide it into two pieces. It is usually completely torn to pieces, and there is no human form at all.
However, compared with grape bombs, the shock power of solid bullets and chain bullets is relatively small. After all, the hit rate of solid bullets and chain bullets is relatively low and generally not easily hit. However, grape bombs are different. When grape bombs fall, they are simply a shower. As long as the raindrops fall near the mast, it is very difficult for the sailboat to dodge. Basically, if a wave of grape bombs falls on the mast, at least half of the sailboats will be hit.
As long as you are hit by the marbles of grape bullets, the fate of the sailboat is basically destined. If you are hit by the marbles directly, of course you have nothing to say. If you are not hit by the marbles directly, you will fall from a mast dozens of meters high. Sometimes, it is better to die than to die. The luckiest thing is to fall into the sea. If you have strong enough skills, you can still save your life by chance. Of course, if you are hit by the debris that comes with you and your head is bleeding, you can only report to hell.
Under the cover of grape bombs, the sailors on both sides suffered a large number of casualties, and people were constantly killed and injured. The nearby sea surface was covered with blood. However, the surviving sailors on both sides had no intention of retreating. They risked the marbles of grape bombs and launched a jump gang battle. Since it was an endless battle, of course, they had to completely eliminate the enemy ships to end the battle.
The sailors of the Hu Ben Navy's navy's hand-to-hand combat weapons were mainly Hawkeye guns. Almost every sailor involved in the Jump Gang battle had several Hawkeye guns on his back and used them in turn. The main combat weapons of the Dutch were short muskets, axes, javelins, etc., and the same was true for the British. This kind of short-distance battle was much bloody and cruel than artillery battles.
Because the white smoke was filled, Zhang Zhun could not clearly see the details of the battle between the two sides. But he knew that hand-to-hand combat was definitely the bloodiest, and the number of casualties was the largest. Sure enough, the sound of muskets kept coming from the permeated white smoke, mixed with the screams of a large number of people. During this period, there were constant sounds of people falling into the water. I don’t know whether the body was kicked into the water or the survivors found something wrong and immediately dived to escape.
When the white smoke gradually drifted away, Zhang Zhun saw that the hand-to-hand combat had basically ended. The sailors of the Hu Ben Army were searching for the other party's ships, looking for any possible survivors, and then killing. The sailors under Seviara were crazily slaughtering the Dutch on the sea. The Dutch who tried to dive to escape were all ruthlessly shot by the British, and they did not let anyone go.
Zhang Zhun did not stop it.
When a dog bites a dog, what do you care about so much?
The deeper the hatred between Seviara and the Dutch, the stronger the dependence on himself.
After all, Wang Shide was a literati, so he couldn't bear it and said in a low voice: "Sir, don't you want the Dutch living?"
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "No. You can easily leak the news."
Wang Shide stopped talking.
Zhang Zhun's concerns definitely make sense. If at this time, let a Dutch man be let go and let the Dutch East India Company learn the news, the Dutch warships would go north to cause trouble for the Hu Ben Army. Thinking about the powerful strength of the Dutch Navy, Zhang Zhun felt a little headache. Even if the Dabai fleet was all dispatched, all the warships of the Hu Ben Army Navy were dispatched, and even pulled up the two freak-like mobile turrets, which were still shoddy in front of dozens of thousands-ton warships of the Dutch!
Half an hour later, the gunshots gradually subsided, and all the Dutch were killed, and none of them survived. Seviara and Shawn were still worried, and they drove the boat around the sea and patrolled several times, believing that no Dutch had missed the net. The most cruel move made by the British sailors was to smash the heads of all the Dutch who fell into the water with an axe. Anyone who had good brains was to smash all the intact ones, no exception.
The two Dutch warships were already scarred and covered with blood on the decks, but they did not sink. So Zhang Haibin ordered them to be dragged back to the port. Perhaps, for Xue Zhidie, these two Dutch warships and the British warship were of research value.
Zhang Zhun and others immediately returned to the port and stepped onto the land of Pi Island. The warships of the Hu Ben Army's naval also docked one after another. Zhang Haibin quickly sent a rough battle report. More than 150 sailors died in the Hu Ben Army and sank two Cangshan ships. Four Cangshan ships suffered heavy damage and lost their combat effectiveness. They must be repaired before they can go to sea to fight again. Other warships were also somewhat damaged.
Such losses were the largest since the establishment of the Hu Ben Navy. One hundred and fifty sailors were killed in battle at one time, which was indeed unprecedented. It can be seen that the Dutch warships were still very difficult to chew. Fortunately, the Hu Ben Navy finally chewed them. The Dutch lost two warships, and at least 300 sailors.
Although the losses were a bit heavy, Zhang Zhun thought it was completely worth it. Through this battle, the Hu Ben Navy gained a lot of combat experience and realized the huge gap with the navy of the world's powerful country. This will inspire the majority of naval soldiers to catch up. There are mountains outside the mountain and sky outside the sky. Brothers, you can't do it if you don't work hard!
Chapter completed!
