The head of the house is about to grab the ship again! The command cabin erupted in cheers, and the heralds ran to the foredeck and stood at the top waving flags.

Shi Daxuan had fought with the Xiyi deck warship, and knew that those warships with heavy artillery fire could be ten against the Fu ship, he was worried that Huang Han would not be able to eat mutton and get into trouble, so he immediately admonished:

"General, the Xiyi deck battle ship has thirty or fifty guns, and the one with a large caliber can fire twenty catties of cannons, and can fight four or five miles away.

Attacking such a ship must have an absolute numerical superiority, and adopting the tactic of ambushing and then suddenly killing the enemy in groups will make them fight and flee nine times out of ten. ”

Huang Han said with a smile: "This official knows that the Eighteen Zhi fighting the Xiyi deck battle ships are all in the form of group beating, and in most cases it will not be effective, because the Xiyi warships that are unwilling to engage in the battle will flee with full sails, and it is not easy for the Eighteen Zhi to stop the enemy." ”

"It's true, I once participated in the ambush of the Dutch warships, but unfortunately they were escaped, and our side lost several warships and more than a dozen fireships, nominally reporting to the imperial court that our army had defeated the enemy and fled, but in fact our army suffered hundreds of casualties, and the enemy suffered dozens of casualties."

"Isn't this strange, do you have a clipper that can catch up with the Xiyi warship?"

"Yes, but they are all small boats such as flywheels, and there are only a few bowls on the boat, which really have no combat effectiveness, and it is useless to catch up, and in the end we can only set fire to the flywheels loaded with flammable materials such as tung oil, gunpowder, and dry wood when they hit the enemy ship."

"The effect of this tactic is not obvious, if there are not many reefs and shoals in the sea area where the battle is chosen, the Xiyi big ship does not need to worry about the risk of running aground and running aground, and sailing at full speed, there is a chance that the small flywheel will be smashed by the Dutch warship."

Shi Daxuan sweated down, and General Pingliao seemed to have seen the actual battle, and even the flywheel that was about to set fire was smashed to pieces.

Shi Daxuan said honestly: "The general is a god and a man, and Eighteen Zhi really has no good way to deal with the Xiyi warship.

Only by relying on the ship is many, relying on the heavy reward there will be brave men, by motivating the sailors to pounce on the board for a rich reward.

Each casualty was several times or even more than a dozen times that of the enemy, but the results were not obvious. ”

"Haha, Shi Daxuan, this official will let you open your eyes today, and you will soon see that the real naval battle is full of artillery fire, and the future naval battles will be carried out like this, you have to look carefully, and strive to learn something and understand the new tactics."

Shi Daxuan has been mixing on the ship since he was a child, he is used to the moody sea, he is keen on naval battles, and he has fantasized many times about being able to duel with the Xiyi deck warship.

Huang Han did not underestimate the enemy, and the flag conveyed the order to let all the oared warships break away from the fleet and prepare for battle.

And convey the enemy's situation to the whole army, informing the opponent that there are many artillery under his command, the upcoming naval battle is cruel, our army's casualties will not be small, and there is a possibility that the warship will be destroyed and sunk by the enemy ship.

All seven warships were to prepare for the worst, inspect the sealed pontoons and lifeboats for emergency use, and all the tanks were to be filled with seawater ready to extinguish the fire.

Huang Han summoned all the crew members of the ship's general Zuohe and told everyone that the next battle was the development trend of naval warfare in the future, and that if we wanted to achieve victory, we must line up in battle lines and completely destroy the gun positions of the enemy ships with absolute artillery superiority, and only in this way can we achieve victory.

When our warships shell the enemy ships, the enemy ships will also return fire, and at this moment there are no tactics and tactics, and the victory of the brave in a narrow road has become the theme again.

The flag language continued to convey the general meaning of Huang Han's intention to the other six warships, and the captains of the ships also solemnly informed all the crew members that the real naval battle was about to start, and it was very cruel.

Anyone can die from artillery fire, and only by braving the enemy's artillery fire to quickly reload and fire, and defeat the enemy's ship's artillery as soon as possible can we win the victory!

Due to the large number of young soldiers among the gunners and sailors of the "Red Banner Army", these newborn calves are not afraid of tigers and are not afraid of strong enemies.

In their minds, they have seven warships, and the enemy only has two, so we have won, as for which one of them is unlucky enough to die in this naval battle? Who knows? Why are you afraid of death, why join the "Red Flag Army"?

Now it was very close to the Dutch warship, and most of the crew saw the Udvoort clearly, and the captain, sailors, and gunners of the "Red Banner Army" were drooling one by one.

They were all thinking, "Damn, there are still warships bigger than ours and more artillery, how exciting it is to take this warship, which is nearly twice the size of our flagship, and bring it back to Tiger's Den Harbor for relatives to visit." ”

The flagship continued to raise flags to remind the soldiers of each ship to wear armor as much as possible, and the self-generated swordsmen and sword and shield men who could not participate in the battle during the artillery battle should find cover and hide as much as possible, and asked the medics to be equipped to operate on a large number of wounded.

The "Red Banner Army" had formed a situation of not fearing the enemy and not despising the enemy at the same time, coupled with the large size of the Xiyi warship and the large number of artillery pieces, everyone had the expectation of a fierce battle, and soon the slogans of the pacification officers sounded in all ships.

"When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! The brothers calmed down and got close to the red-haired devil and fucking it! ”

"Brothers, the real naval battle is about to begin, and any enemy who competes with the 'Red Banner Army' will be beaten into cannon fodder."

"Hahaha......" Seeing that the town magistrate said something funny, the young gunner was the first to laugh, and then there was a boat full of laughter.

"Are the brothers ready? It's not far from the enemy ship, don't laugh, everyone, concentrate and cheer up! ”

All the fighters shouted "Tiger!" three times. Tiger! Tiger! Immediately put away his smile and looked coldly at the growing Xiyi warship.

Huang Han's flagship was first on the battle line, less than a nautical mile from the Dutch's deck battleship Udwater, and at this time our bow guns and enemy stern guns were actually able to hit each other.

But no one fired, because the possibility of accurately hitting an enemy ship left or right for one nautical mile in the undulating sea did not exist, and one out of ten shots was a stroke of luck.

At this time, Huang Han's seven warships were not fully driven, but sailed with full sail, and the speed of the ships was between five and six knots.

The Dutch ships ahead may have been a little slower by half a beat, or they were deliberately letting the junk ship get closer, so the commander could use his binoculars to see the new ship clearly, so they tolerated the Ming ship getting closer.

It is possible that the Dutch saw that these Ming warships were strange ship-type guns that they had never seen before, and there were seven of them, so they did not want to cause trouble and adopted a strategy of evasion.
