The first shell was fired by the Dutchman-like, three-masted gunboat "Jinghai", which was commanded by Lei Zhen, a Cantonese man with 100 households and a thousand titles.

The general flag, 100 households, 1000 households, commanders and other officials are similar to the colonels, captains, and generals of later generations, and the thousand is always the actual officer, specific to the Jinghai, that is, Lei Zhen's actual command position is the Jinghai Qianzong, but its grade is currently based on the seven products and 100 households, not the six products of the Qianzong.

Roughly the same as the lieutenant of the major.

The reason for the discrepancy between grades and actual positions is that Gonggong Wei hurriedly led the army to the sea to fight, and failed to free up his hands to sort out the military system and reward the actual position according to the promotion.

In other words, Lei Zhen, a hundred households, was promoted to become the president of Qianguan after following Gonggong Wei, but because the procedures were not perfect, he temporarily led the troops with an additional rank.

Lei Zhen was recommended by Wang Dali to Wei Gonggong, and the original leader of the Jinghai was Jiang Liangdong's Fubiao henchman Zhang, but this Zhang was not good at water warfare, so he was transferred to the army and replaced Lei Zhen, who was more familiar with naval warfare, to be in charge of the Jinghai.

After all, compared with the rest of the warships, the performance of the three-masted gunboat is undoubtedly ahead, and with the large number of guns on board, it can be regarded as the main warship of the Royal Navy.

Regardless of whether it is a naval division or a navy, the leading generals of the main warships must at least know how to do it. In the past, Jiang Liangdong used Zhang, but it was feasible during the peaceful years, and he occupied a position to be gold-plated and promoted. The Ming army has always been indistinguishable from land and water, so a layman became the captain of the main warship, as long as the above did not ask, there was no problem.

But now that the navy wants to pull it out to fight, and then use a layman to manage the army, Gonggong Wei is really a nerd and can't do it.

Lei Zhen was also resolute, and when he saw that the chief soldier and Gonggong Wei were on the ship with a banner, he immediately ordered all the cannons that had already been loaded with medicine to fire.

has a very good mind, which is to ask Gonggong Wei to see his Lei Zhen's ability.

In the sound of "boom", more than a dozen large iron bullets roared out of the muzzle of the cannon and took off into the air.

As the Jinghai took the lead in sounding the cannons, the ships opened fire one after another, and the cannons soon became intensive.

Zhou, who was running away, was startled, he never expected that this naval division would dare to fire at them.

The splashing water column around frightened Zhou, and also frightened the officers and soldiers who traveled through the mountains and thousands of households.

In order to load as much cargo as possible, most of the guns on these six warships were unloaded, which meant that they had no power to fight back.

In the face of several times more warships than their own, they will not have a chance to fight back. Besides, this situation was also something they had never thought of beforehand, who would have thought that the water would rush to the Dragon King Temple!

Zhou panicked, and the officers and soldiers on the other boats were also in a hurry, the only thing that was fortunate was that the opponent's artillery was fierce, but so far, it has not hit one, and in terms of speed, the six ships of the Thousand Households through the mountains are faster than the opponent's big ships.

Therefore, after a short panic, it was found that the ships were not hit, and Zhou made a slight decision, and did not order the flag to be pulled and surrendered, but asked the ships to speed up and break through.

He thought that this place was only a day's distance from Zhoushan, and as long as he rushed to it, it would be difficult for this fleet under the flag of the Royal Navy to dare to chase Zhoushan!

……..

Father-in-law Wei was very distressed, he finally knew what it meant to be in the water.

Dozens of boats, dense cannon sounds, and hundreds of cannonballs were smashed out, but in front of him, in addition to splashing a few feet high columns, the six warships that pierced through the mountains and thousands of households simply did not hit, and were still running desperately with their sails.

What the fuck is a naval battle? Shelling?!

The navy's red deer should all be disemboweled!

My father-in-law is angry, anxious and hateful, what can I do, the naval battle mode of this era is like this. Relying solely on artillery to sink the opponent's ships is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.

The reason is that the firing angle of the guns equipped with each ship is fixed, and the firing angle cannot be adjusted, and if it is to be adjusted, it can only be adjusted by the angle of the whole ship, so that the efficiency is very low.

This is the case of the father-in-law's own ship, the East Asia, where the guns are concentrated on both sides, and when firing, the shells can only be guaranteed to hit the target by constantly adjusting the angle of the ship back and forth, but it cannot guarantee that it will hit.

If it is a decisive battle between the naval divisions of the two countries, and both sides are densely packed with hundreds of ships, this intensive artillery method is effective. can face a few ships, and not to fight, but to escape, no matter how many ships, no matter how many cannons, the probability of a direct hit will be pitiful.

To put it bluntly, this time is different from the last time the bombardment of Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, it is a fixed target, as long as the navy puts the muzzle of the cannon well and closes its eyes, two or three out of ten rounds can always hit.

The six boats that traveled through the mountains were targets that were constantly moving and were still very fast, and the navy fired solid bullets, so the hit rate was completely relied on.

It can only be said that Gonggong Wei's luck was not good, and in the first naval battle, the hit rate of the Royal Navy under his command was equal to zero.

The momentum is absolute, but the damage is not.

Up to now, the six boats are still jumping around.

Seeing that Father-in-law Wei was changing in the cloudy and sunny area, and he almost wanted to get angry, the admiral also moved to the side with interest, lest he touch his father-in-law's mold.

They can't help it, the boats are fighting very hard, but who can blame them if they don't hit?

Wang vigorously thought that if he wanted to solve these six boats, he had to rely on the old way and get close to seize the boats. Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, the navy will have to use up all this bit of wealth, and then what will we do to deal with Pingwei Port.

Of course, the navy is also ashamed, the first battle of the navy's establishment, only six ships were dealt with, but there was no decent record, which really made them feel more or less sorry for Duke Wei's contribution to the navy.

Of the people on the boat, the only thing that felt fresh was the rich second-generation Ruan Dacheng.

It was the first time he had seen a naval battle with his own eyes.

For a newcomer, the sound of cannons whistling in his ears and the pillars of waves rising high in his sight are more exciting than anything else.

Gonggong Wei had a black face, the conditions were limited, and he didn't have any time and space doors, or any warehouse with him, so he couldn't change the flowers, so he could only follow the local customs, and let the ships float a lot of silver into the water.

It's really silver, cannonballs, or medicine, which one is not money.

Fortunately, Gonggong Wei is not without a magic weapon to control the enemy.

He decisively ordered the use of the arms that he had pressed under the box.

"Mixed River Dragon", "Dragon King Cannon", "Divine Fire Flying Crow", "Double Dragon Spitting Pearl", "Fire Dragon Out of the Water", "Five Thunder God Machine Cannon", "Flying Sky Attack Thief Earthquake Thunder"......

If my father-in-law is not mistaken, when he left Beijing, he purchased more than 70 kinds of new firearms of various sizes from the Ordnance Supervision Department of the War Bureau for land and water warfare, and spent him tens of thousands of taels of oceans.

It's time to let these dirt buns know what real technology is!
