"Rush over...... Rush all the way to ...... The mainsail is tilted three degrees to the right and the sail is retracted. ”

On the deck of the Haining, Ning Haisheng stared at the port that was getting closer and closer, with an excited look in his eyes, ignoring the water column that was constantly splashing around, desperately urging the sailman to adjust the sails in order to maximize the wind power of the battleship.

Under the command of Ning Haisheng, the two warships were advancing at a speed of nine knots.

In the era of the internal combustion engine in later generations, the speed of nine knots may only be described as turtle speed, but in this era driven by all wind power, a warship can reach a speed of nine knots (16.668 km) can already be called a clipper, and the speed of an ordinary sailboat is four to five knots.

Although the guns on the turrets were desperately roaring at the two incoming warships, the accuracy of the guns of this era was really not very good, let alone attacking moving targets a few nautical miles away. Although it seems to be a lively fight, in fact, it does not hit the target except for constantly creating water jets.

The distance of three nautical miles seems like a long way, but in fact, it is less than half an hour for a fast-moving battleship.

After more than ten or twenty minutes, the two battleships had rushed to a distance of less than three hundred meters from the pier, and after reaching this distance, due to the problem of angle, the guns on the battery could no longer hit the two battleships that were close at hand.

Looking at the neatly lined up battleships on the dock in front of him, Ning Shuisheng's eyes showed a glint of excitement, and he saw a loud roar.

"Listen to me, left full rudder!"

"Understood...... Full rudder left! ”

With Ning Shuisheng's order, the two battleships turned to the left in unison, and with the turn of the two battleships, they immediately turned into a state of starboard facing the enemy.

"Fire!"

The gunners, who had been waiting impatiently, pulled out the cannon sound, and with a roar, 14 twelve-pound projectiles rushed out of the barrel with bursts of white smoke and flames.

The sixth-level battleship commanded by Ning Shuisheng was the lightest warship in the sequence of the Fujian Navy Division, with only one artillery deck.

This type of battleship is generally used for escort, sending messages and reconnaissance in peacetime, and each battleship is equipped with 28 twelve-pounder guns, and there are only 14 guns on each side of the ship, so this firepower is indeed a little thin.

But even so, in the face of less than two hundred, and rows of large "targets" that could not move, they still showed extremely high accuracy, and a full six projectiles hit the target.

Compared to the huge battleship, the twelve-pound projectile the size of a fist was too small, but it was such a small thing, and after being wrapped in powerful kinetic energy, it could cause a lot of damage.

"Bang ......"

A twelve-pound projectile struck the side of a battleship, pierced the shield of the gun deck, and slammed into the barrel of an eighteen-pound gun with a piercing metallic impact, and then the projectile rebounded and hit one of the gunners in the chest, shattering the gunner's upper body, and the body that had lost its upper body stood upright for a while before falling heavily on the deck.

Because the warships of this era were all made of wood, the sawdust would fly everywhere and hurt people after the battleship was shot, and many Spanish sailors were stabbed by the flying sawdust.

"Counter Strike...... Hurry up and order the battleship's artillery to counterattack! ”

On the battleship, I don't know which captain gave the order loudly.

"Sir...... Our warships are all close together, and we can't fire at all! In the confusion, I don't know who answered.

This statement is true, because at this moment, dozens of battleships are all docked side by side on the pier. The guns of the battleships were almost all deployed on the sides of the ships, and if they were fired, they would not be the enemy but their own people.

"Idiot!"

The captain kicked the fool in anger and scolded, "Won't you return fire with the stern gun?" ”

"Understood!"

The sailor suddenly realized that in addition to deploying most of the guns on both sides of the ship, the battleships of this period would also deploy one or two guns in the stern as a backup gunfire, in order to prevent the enemy from the tail **, and it is obvious that the tail guns came in handy in this situation.

"Boom ......"

A cannon fired, although due to too haste, this cannon hit the sea water dozens of meters away from the Haining, but it also startled Ning Shuisheng, this is the sound of him, although the enemy ships on the dock are not yet able to move, but they are not powerless to fight back, they can not be too unscrupulous.

"Turning the rudder...... Hurry up and turn the rudder...... Port side to meet the enemy! ”

With the rapid turn of the rudder of the two battleships, it soon became a state of starboard facing the enemy ship.

"Fire ......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

In this round of shooting, the hit rate was higher than the first round of shooting, looking at the Spanish sailors and soldiers on the dock who were scurrying around like headless flies, Ning Shuisheng's eyes were red with excitement.

"Inform the Seahorse, all aiming at the tallest enemy ship in the middle...... Sink it for me......"

Ning Shuisheng, who knew that it was better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, knew that otherwise, if it was only injured, the Spaniards would quickly repair it, and it would not have much effect at all, instead of fighting around, it was better to concentrate firepower and strive to sink one or two warships.

"Boom, boom...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

One projectile after another flew towards the largest battleship in the middle of the dock, and several rounds of shelling fell, and the battleship was hit with bullet holes everywhere, but what surprised Ning Shuisheng was that although the battleship was hit by at least twenty projectiles, there was no sign of sinking at all, and it could also use the stern gun to return fire.

In fact, what Ning Shuisheng didn't know was that the Spanish warship that he and the Seahorse attacked together was the flagship of the Spanish Governor in Luzon, Field, the 'Holy Law', with a displacement of 1,800 tons, which was already equivalent to the third-class battleship of the Fujian Navy Division.

Coupled with the 64 guns loaded on the battleship, in normal times, a sixth-level battleship like Ning Shuisheng and them would not be an opponent even if they were tied up with three or four.

But today, they can be regarded as tigers falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, and they can't move, so they can only watch these two little ones show off their power in front of him.

But even so, the tonnage of the 'Holy Law' was there, and although it had more than 20 projectiles in its body, it still stood tenaciously by the dock, as if telling the two small warships that the buddy was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, and you should fight again.

The Seahorse and the Haining also fired fiercely, and immediately after firing a salvo, they turned around and opened fire with the guns on the side of the ship on the other side, and so on and so on for several rounds of artillery.

It was only as time went by, that a Spanish warship that had been moored in the harbor began to slowly sail out of the dock, although the speed was still very slow, but it still drove out firmly.

"Not good...... The Spaniards have hoisted their sails and they are coming out! ”

After perceiving this, Ning Haisheng was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly shouted without thinking: "Hurry up...... Turn...... Turn...... Retreat ......"
