Six hundred and ninetieth chapters fierce battle
Chapter 691: Fierce Battle
Jiang Lang was somewhat strange about the origin of these warships. Although he had received news that some fleets were attacked by the remaining warships of the Komu Army, no time was the warships of the warships, but this time, the supply fleet was attacked. The most important point was that the defeated Komu Army's warships had no basic source of supply, so the scale of dozens of fleets did not exist at all. After all, there were many people, so I thought I needed to support these people with more supplies. However, now they did not have any extra food, and the robbed goods could not be eaten as food. The most important point was that they had no place to take over, because the Ming Dynasty ordered that if someone colluded with the Komu Army, it would be a death sentence.
And now the one that appeared in front of him was as many as fifty Komu Army warships, which made Jiang Lang a little strange.
Looking at the Komu Army warships that were carefully approaching their fleet, Jiang Lang pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Have you encountered so many Komu Army warships before?"
The captain immediately said: "Sir Qi Bian, because the navy of the Komu Army has been disbanded during the battle. Even if there are some gathering together, there are only a few to more than ten ships. This is the first time that such a large-scale gathering is encountered. Moreover, when they met us, they were like mice and cats, and they didn't have time to escape. How dare they fight against them? The Xiaguan has run on the sea for a long time, but he has never encountered a situation where the Komu Army takes the initiative to attack today!"
Hearing this, Jiang Lang couldn't help but ponder for a moment. There was nothing before, but now it has appeared. Could it be that these remaining Gumu Army have reached such a situation where they are so evil that they can't help but rob the absolute supply? Or, what else is there?
But no matter which, it is an ironic fact that the fifty Mumen in front of us want to attack him and others. As for the rest, I will talk about it later.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lang raised his glasses again. The Komu Army warship in the glasses was actually changing its formation, as if he was planning to form an arrow and then forcibly breaking his fleet.
It seems that they also understand that they have no advantage in terms of firepower. Although there are only more than ten warships guarded by the Ming Dynasty, in terms of size and firepower, after the test of war, the combat effectiveness of the new warships is definitely more than three times that of the warships of the Komu Army. If it is in actual combat, this number will definitely be improved. After all, there is no electromagnetic warfare in this era, no information warfare, and the battle on the sea is also very simple. To a large extent, it depends on whose ship is strong and cannons are powerful! This is the absolute advantage in combat.
The Komu Army's warships obviously did not meet this standard, and they were still far behind the Ming Dynasty warships.
So what they thought was to rush into the Ming fleet desperately, so that they could restrict the power of the Ming artillery, because they were afraid of worrying about accidentally hurting their warships.
However, this tactic was used a few years ago when Elang was still destroying the maritime forces of Hosokawa Katsumoto, and Elang even wrote the tactics used by the Koji Army in these battles into a booklet and distributed them. So even if Elang is not here, these warships knew how to do it, that is, to shoot the first bird.
The so-called gun-shooting bird is to concentrate all the firepower of the Ming warships and intensively attack the warships in the front of the enemy fleet. Nowadays, the warships rely on sails to sail. Without sails, the ships will lose their power. The ships that lose their power can block the ships behind them. In this way, the enemy's offensive will be blocked! Once the enemy's speed drops, the Ming warships with advanced technology will have a very good target-training target ship.
All the artillery of warships began to aim at the front of the Komu Fleet, trying to kill these fleets as soon as possible, and the transport ships behind them were also ready at this time. Once the warships in front broke through the firepower network, when the frigates loaded, they would form the second line of defense. After all, this sea is not on land, only artillery is not accurate, and it is basically impossible to avoid the shells when operating the ship after discovering the shells.
At this time, the atmosphere suddenly became tense due to the contact between the two sides.
At this time, the Komu Army advanced with all its might. Whether they could rush into the Ming fleet had become the key to whether they were victorious.
The Ming Dynasty's fleet was on high alert. Similarly, whether they could stop the Komu Army's rushing was the key to whether they could win.
Jiang Lang was thinking about the intentions of these Komu Army. Attacking transport ships was much more dangerous than attacking ordinary merchant ships. Why were these Komu Army so impatient, as if they were coming to die. In order to prevent the Komu Army from attacking, the transport ships had enough frigates to escort, so they were not easily hijacked.
Take the scene in front of you. Although the Komu Army organized so many remaining warships to attack transport ships, there were also chances of success, the losses would be quite large. As for why they knew the time of departure, as well as the goods transported, the waterways they took, etc., it was naturally someone who revealed it to them. There are traitors in any era. So as long as you give money, it is not a problem to get information. After all, the Komu Army warships cannot stay at sea for a long time due to the supply problem. For those who are lacking in material, staying at sea for a long time is undoubtedly a death sentence.
In other words, they should have planned to attack the transport ships. It seems that the Mu army also understands that the power is small and there is no way to do it at all. However, the concentration of power can easily attract the Ming Dynasty warships.
While Jiang Lang was thinking, the Komu Army's warship was approaching at this time, and the warship in front was almost entering the range of the Ming warship.
The warship gunners held their breath at this time and kept adjusting the angle of the muzzle.
"boom……!"
Finally, a huge sound vibrated the sea. This was the first time the coach fired the gun, and it was also a signal of fire.
The artillery soldiers who had already held their breath opened their mouths without hesitation. A huge roar sound resounded throughout the sea, and the originally calm sea surface suddenly became calm.
The huge fireball at the time of muzzle design also reflected the sea red.
Countless whistling sounds came from the air, which was the sound of shells slashing through the air during the flight team.
It seemed as if in a moment, a fire wall suddenly formed in front of the warships in front of the Komu Army. Countless sparks suddenly bloomed on the warships in front. In an instant, wood chips on the ship flew everywhere and iron chips were raging. The Komu Army on the warships in front of the warships in front of them didn't even scream, and they immediately went to the underworld.
The explosion also caused a fire. The sails were ignited quickly. The raging fire followed by the sea breeze getting stronger and stronger, and soon began to spread. Without the sails, these warships had no power. They originally planned to be nailed into the Ming arrow and were instantly smoothed. Then the warships quickly lost their power and turned into a pile of burning flames on the sea surface.
Some of the warships behind were not in a hurry, and many of them crashed into these warships. In this way, the original charge was disintegrated.
The gunners on the battleship had no time to cheer for the heavy damage they caused to the enemy and immediately loaded the bullets and continued to shoot.
The current warships only have very few artillery guns at the bow of the ship, and the Komu Army's current formation is not conducive to shooting at all. The firepower can be exerted only by two or three artillery guns in front of them. What's more, their artillery range is not as good as the Ming warships, the Ming Dynasty artillery guns can easily hit them, and their artillery is just a splash of water columns far away in the waters in front of the Ming warships. In other words, when people usually bombard artillery warships, if one of the Ming warships can be more than three warships of the Komu Army, it can now surpass five, and its vitality is more than five times that of the Komu Army.
It seems like a very good plan, but the Ming warships blocked the retreat of the Koumu Army's warships are now a very passive situation. They have no power to fight back at all!
However, the Komu Army would not sit still and wait for death. They immediately adjusted their thinking, and the fleets also unfolded one after another, starting to charge towards the Ming warships in a dispersed formation. In this way, even if the warships in front are hit and lose power, it will not affect the warships behind them. The most important point is that once the warships are separated, the firepower of the Ming warships will be dispersed. For the hit accuracy, the dispersion of the firepower means a decrease in hit accuracy, and it also means that it is more difficult to aim at these Komu Army warships.
But no matter how difficult it is, this battlefield is not allowed to retreat. Although the enemy has unfolded, more than twenty enemies may appear in front of you, for the Ming fleet with more than ten warships, each warship is only aimed at one of them, that is, the more than fifty warships on the opposite side have ten strike ranges of the Ming warships at the same time.
However, for the Komu Army, they can counterattack the two artillery guns with a very small head. For the hollow-loaded artillery guns that have not yet been realized, the power of the shells was greatly reduced. For the Ming Dynasty warships, even if they were hit by these shells, it was nothing great. There was no way to penetrate the armor of the Ming Dynasty warships at this level. It was just a pit. Moreover, whether it could be hit was another matter.
