"Pursuit English …"
Although Emperor Chongzhen made a decision to make a truce and repair with the Tiger and Leopard Army, it took almost two days for the imperial edict to go from the imperial court to the front, even if it was galloped.
It will take longer to cut off the tiger and leopard troops from the navy who are besieging the tiger and leopard and reinforce the imperial navy in Liaodong waterway, but it can’t wait that long when they have arrived in Shandong Peninsula to defend their troops.
In order to reinforce Liaodong as soon as possible, tens of thousands of elites will be sent to Liaodong battlefield to boldly defend themselves and directly make a decisive battle decision with the imperial navy.
In the eyes of Wei Zheng, if you want to reinforce Liaodong battlefield by waterway, you can choose to destroy or hit the imperial navy.
So a naval battle with a disparity in strength and a disparity in the number of warships was decided to start soon.
At this moment, the warships have eaten the sea breeze for almost ten days. The imperial navy did not expect that a navy, which had just been formed for less than half a month, would dare to take the initiative to attack itself, and he would be the most resentful imperial loyalist in the hands of the butch army.
Chapter five hundred and forty-six Asymmetric naval battle
Wei Zheng, a heavily guarded port in Dengzhou, is looking at the dock with a serious face. Twenty warships are lined up because he doesn’t know how many of these twenty warships will return to Matou with victory after attacking tonight and the day after tomorrow.
At this moment, the officers of the First Fleet Command of the First Tiger and Leopard Army in Li Xinlong hurried to the front of Weizheng with serious and hot facial expressions, and reported.
"All the soldiers of the guard fleet and the Warship Department should make an attack order and ask the guard to make it …"
"Very well …" Weizheng nodded his head, and his serious face rarely showed a smile.
After taking a deep breath, he replied to Li Xinlong, "General Li, you are now the commander of the first fleet of the Tiger and Leopard Army. Don’t be handsome. You can’t guarantee it, but a handsome general can still assure you that you can command the soldiers of the first fleet to hit the imperial navy and block the defense line in front of us. The handsome here assures you that the commander-in-chief of the future naval fleet of the Tiger and Leopard Army is absolutely yours. You must fight this naval battle well."
A soldier who is a general, especially a general in command of an army, is definitely a soldier’s dream, and Li Xinlong, commander of the First Fleet, is no exception.
As soon as the words of Wei Zheng were finished, Li Xinlong’s face quickly flashed a hot.
Of course, this trace of heat did not last long before it was covered by seriousness again.
Because of the disparity in strength in this naval battle, we must treat it carefully, otherwise waiting for ourselves may not be victory, but the army will be destroyed and buried in the sea.
So Wei Zheng looked at Li Xinlong with a pair of clever eyes and answered without thinking, "Please rest assured that you will ensure that you will return home in triumph and live up to your expectations …"
In less than half an hour, 20 warships of the Tiger and Leopard Army docked at Dengzhou Wharf were ordered by Li Xinlong to slowly leave the dock and disappear from the vision of Weizheng and others.
In order to catch the imperial navy unprepared, twenty warships communicated with each other to avoid losing their way in the sea, and the lights went out.
If you don’t look at the roots carefully, no one will see the sea breeze constantly, and there is a fleet slowly sailing to the huge imperial navy like a ghost in the night.
When twenty warships braved the wind and waves and approached the target step by step.
Five miles away from Dengzhou Harbor, the naval warships stationed in the imperial court are lit up.
Hundreds of warships, 10,000 imperial navy officers and soldiers, and no one would have thought that the Tiger and Leopard Navy had the courage to go out of the range of the army’s heavy artillery and take the initiative to attack the large-scale imperial navy.
I think there is no rival in this sea, and almost no one in the imperial navy is on duty at the watchtower of the warship.
This has created an unprecedented prerequisite for the Tiger and Leopard Army Navy to take the initiative to attack
Twenty warships lined up just left the dock less than two miles before the observer saw the lights passing through the imperial fleet.
Li Xinlong, commander of the First Fleet, is very aware of the huge gap between the two fleets.
For the large-scale imperial navy, its only advantage is the range of naval guns.
Therefore, there is one way to win the upcoming naval battle, and that is to give full play to one’s advantages.
The method of Li Xinlong naval battle is very accurate, that is, the imperial navy naval gun gives full play to the long-range advantage of Tiger and Leopard warships’ guns, and constantly shoots flowering bullets at each other to attack each other and weaken each other.
In this case, a face of seriousness, Li Xinlong directly reached the order to stop the fleet.
Not only that, 20 warships can make more naval guns directly turn the bow and aim the flanks of warships at the imperial navy.
Soon three hundred naval guns with a range of more than three miles were aimed at the imperial navy.
At this time, Li Xinlong’s order to fire was like a stone thrown at the calm water, which quickly aroused several waves.
As soon as the firing order was turned on by the signal light, the deafening roar began, and twenty warships sounded. With balls of fireballs spewing out from the dark muzzle of 300 naval guns, 300 lead bullets flew out directly with a roar to the imperial navy three miles away from themselves.
"Boom …" In the blink of an eye, 300 flowering bombs flew to the imperial navy and then fell like rain on the surface of the imperial navy and exploded.
Although less than 10% of the flowering bombs fell into the imperial navy warships, huge fireballs mixed with a lot of black smoke rose, but the rest of the flowering bombs that fell into the sea were not caught.
In addition to the sea surface stirring up bundles of thick water columns as high as four or five battles, the flying fragments produced by the explosion of flowering bombs are like high-speed lead bullets easily penetrating the wooden hulls of surrounding warships.
So more than a dozen imperial navy warships were blown out of many gaps by the fragments of flowering bombs even if they were not directly hit by the waterline.
Although these gaps have not caused fatal blows to warships, their appearance directly means that seawater can continuously flow into warships’ cabins like a burst flood.
It also means that the naval officers and men of the warship imperial court have to separate some officers and men to plug these seemingly insignificant threats.
In this way, it will be chaotic because of the attack, and the navy soldiers will definitely become more chaotic, which will seriously affect their next battle.
The naval fleet of Nuoda imperial court quickly changed from tranquility to panic, and then from panic to anger, clamoring for a counterattack to destroy this tiger and leopard navy that dared to sneak up on itself in the night.
Three hundred naval guns have fired a second round of shells at them.
Not only that, the imperial navy generals also got a message that made them angry and wronged.
"Attacking them, the Tiger and Leopard Army Navy is far from the range of its own naval guns. If you want to counterattack the Tiger and Leopard Army Navy, you must advance one mile to shoot the flowering bomb at the other warship."
However, the dark sea was unprepared, and I wanted to start the warship, but I also had to meet the enemy and shoot my own flowering bomb and push it forward for a mile.
However, due to the unilateral shelling, one warship after another turned into a tiger and leopard target and was smashed into pieces by a tiger and leopard army flowering bomb.
The commander-in-chief of the imperial navy had to reach a counterattack order even though he knew it was very difficult to counterattack now.
So the officers and men of the 10,000-person imperial navy were like groups of panicked rabbits, and the generals at all levels began to command the warships to go back and forth and prepare to start the warships.
Li Xinlong will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity to attack.
Thousands of gunners fired more flowering shells in a short time, and directly fired at the cold warship with bare arms. They fired again and again, clearing the chamber and loading the bullets before firing.
All the raindrops bloom like rain, and they keep falling into the imperial navy.
Li Xinlong, commander of the First Fleet of the Yu Navy, held a monocle on the deck of a warship and watched every move of the imperial navy fleet three miles away.
At the same time, I kept counting the number of warships that were hit by flowering bombs and destroyed the imperial navy.
