Chapter 637 Breakthrough
"Boom! Boom boom boom!"
Just as it was approaching a range of 400 meters, a Spanish warship next to the flagship was hit by a flowering bullet. The cannon was knocked to the cannon on the other side with its ammunition barrel. The sparks caused by the collision ignited the gunpowder barrel filled with gunpowder.
So a mortal explosion occurred, and a warship was immediately bombed and flames rose everywhere. Then the flames gathered together, and the entire ship began to ignite a huge fire.
"Help! Ah!"
The surviving sailors on the boat jumped into the sea with the flames on their bodies as if they were dumplings.
"The captain is the Wild Wolf, they have fun!" The first mate said with a sad look at the warship that had turned into a big torch.
"Hurry! It's about to enter the range!" The captain ignored nothing at this time. From the beginning to now, he was in a state of being beaten, and he didn't shoot a shot just to enter the range.
The Ming army's sailors were still inexperienced and inadequate in their skills, and were also not expected to be sufficient in the use of kite flying tactics. As a result, they were caught up little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by little by Spanish fleet.
Finally, the Spanish warship reached a range of less than 400 meters.
"Fire the cannon!" The captain licked his lips and saw that he had reached the range position, so he began to order the one below to fire the Ming army warships.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
A burst of smoke from the ignition of gunpowder enveloped half of the hull, and several solid projectiles flew towards the Ming fleet.
I don’t know what happened. The Spanish Navy gunner must have not washed his hands when he was peeing just now. A good piece of ammunition landed on the side of the flagship Luoyang ship.
No matter what, the Luoyang ship was all wood. How could it stand the power of steel? So the Luoyang ship watched as it was hit by the Spaniards with a hole that was as big as a face.
"Damn it! He actually dares to hit my boat! He killed them by killing me! He put on flammable bullets!"
Li Haihe was angry. Who would you beat so many warships, but you would hit me? Twenty warships were the first to be injured as flagships. What is this? This is a slap in the face, a slap in the face.
So Li Haihe decided not to hold back and take the strongest type of bullet, flammable bullet.
The Spanish ones were not the only ones who were helpful to the warships at a distance of 400 meters. The accuracy of the Ming army's artillery at a distance of 400 meters was improved. Originally, one of the ten shots was barely powerful, but now the ten-pound cannon can be achieved by three or four of the ten shots.
The flammable bomb hit the Spanish warship, but the captain found that the projectile was a little strange. What was the black semi-solidified liquid in the projectile?
The second wave of flammable bombs continued to hit the deck of Spain's warships on the side of the ship.
The projectile hit the boat and broke out immediately, and the black liquid inside was flowing everywhere.
This is a flammable bomb developed for close combat. The projectile is a flammable treated tincture oil. This tincture oil is semi-solidified. As long as the outer protective bullet body is broken, the tincture oil inside will collapse and stick to the wooden board, and it will not be wiped off.
Zhu Youxiao still remembered that the battleships were a fire attack, and he equipped the Ming fleet with a weapon, which was cast from fragile pig iron on the outside and napalm-like projectiles inside.
However, these flammable bombs can only be fired within a range of 500 meters, otherwise too much charge may cause the flammable bomb to explode.
Another flowering bullet hit Spain's flagship, and a huge torch appeared on the sea, and the entire ship was burning.
"Wuwuwuwu!" The flagship of the Ming Fleet began to send a signal to carry out a final encirclement and suppression of the remaining two Spanish warships.
So the two ends of the Ming warships lined up began to form an encirclement towards the Spanish warships.
"No, no!"
Claire witnessed the scene where his ten warships were wiped out by the Ming army throughout the whole process. He couldn't help but scream. He couldn't believe that the Claire family's fleet across the South China Sea was gone, and he couldn't believe that the Ming cannons had such great power.
Zhang Goudan held up a telescope and witnessed the wonderful naval battle just now.
"Okay! It's so damn good! Look at where these red-haired fans can go this time!" Zhang Goudan immediately slapped his thigh and shouted when he saw the last two Spanish warships being concentrated on fire by twenty Ming warships.
Now I want to see where you can run!
Prepare to siege the city!
The artillery that had been prepared finally opened its cannon suit. They were Marines, and the largest artillery was only eight kilograms. It was indeed much worse than the ten kilograms of the Navy, and the number was far from comparable. However, they were little tigers on the road. The warships had good results, so they could never let them look down on them!
“Recharge!”
"emission!"
"Boom boom boom!"
A total of twenty-four eight-jin cannons on three sides began to roar.
Flames immediately emerged from the city wall, which was the result of the flowering bullet hitting the high wall.
However, what Zhang Goudan unexpectedly was that the materials built on the opposite city wall were all stones. Although the flowering bullet was powerful, it had no effect when hitting hard stones. The hard stones could not be opened by the flowering bullet of this diameter.
So although the Marines are not very active now, the artillery bombardment is also very lively, but the effect becomes very poor after the people in the castle hide.
After all, this is a small flowering bullet. They are indeed a little tricky when facing this castle like a turtle shell.
"Encircle them! If you don't attack, I want to see how much food they have." Zhang Goudan didn't plan to let his people die. Only by letting them come out on their own initiative is the right way.
"Mr. Joseph, we are surrounded by the Ming army now, and now there is only one way." Three days later, Claire found old Joseph, and he was anxious.
"You want to break through." Of course, Old Joseph knew Claire's purpose.
"But where did we break through?" Joseph asked back.
"In the east, they did not send anyone to appear. It may be because their troops were insufficient and they could not block all four directions." Claire pointed to the east. He had not seen any of the Ming troops appearing in the east these days, so he concluded that the Ming Dynasty must have insufficient troops.
"East?" Joseph also felt that the east was indeed strange. They had not found a Ming army in the east for three days, which was strange.
"Yes, there are no Ming troops stationed in the east, and this is a good opportunity for us to break through." Claire said, he didn't want to stay here for a moment.
"Okay! We will break out from here at dawn tomorrow!"
