The rebel navy in the Dongjiang Army was still in a daze. In the past few days, the artillery accuracy of naval battles was too poor. It was basically within a distance of 200 to 300 meters. Only then did it open fire. Only 100 meters were truly accurate cannons, and only 70% or 80% of the accuracy was achieved by 100 meters. Many times, musketeers on warships could use guns to hit the opponent's gunner.

However, the problem is that the Wei Qing opened fire from a distance of more than 600 meters and hit it accurately.

Although the soldiers of the Dongjiang Navy did not react, Helena stopped hesitating and ordered: "Right-right rudder!"

The helmsman of Wei Qing quickly turned the rudder, and the overall hull of Wei Qing began to move horizontally. The huge inertia almost made Liu Mingyu fall into a rolling gourd. Fortunately, Liu Mingyu reacted quickly enough and grabbed the fence, finally avoiding his own subordinates from making a fool of himself.

"Side-side gun, fire!"

With Helena's order, as many as twenty-four artillery pieces on the side began to fire volleys. Almost one in front and one behind, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing had a total of forty-eight side cannons began to fire shells at the Dongjiang Navy fleet.

Forty-eight shells were rushing down from the commanding heights with parabola. At this time, the Dongjiang Navy had not had time to fire a counterattack. The shells had already arrived above the warship fleet of the Dongjiang Navy and then poured down like a pouring rain.

After years of development, the mortar cannon will form the mortars of later generations. At this time, the sixteen long-barrel mortars of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were each, just like the mortars of later generations. The working principle is like the second kick of later generations, and it is similar to the principle of the flying thunder cannon, but the difference is also very obvious.

The flying thunder cannon uses the shock wave of gunpowder explosion to shoot out the explosive package, while the mortar cannon fires a cylindrical shell. The shell is divided into three parts. The bottom is a single piece of paper shell with no explosion. It contains granular black gunpowder, and a thick steel plate about eight inches thick is separated in the middle. Further ahead is a shell shell cast of cast iron, which contains almost fifteen kilograms of black gunpowder.

This is a bit close to the kind of shells in later generations. You should know that fifteen kilograms of black gunpowder can release about 750,000-850,000 joules of energy by burning and explosion of one kilogram of tnt, and the explosion energy of one kilogram of tnt is 4.2 million joules. In theory, the unit energy of tnt is 5 times higher than that of black gunpowder.

This is equivalent to a 1.5 kg TNT. In theory, it is the power of thirty six-seven-type wooden grenades tied together. Once it explodes, it will be a big hole when it explodes.

In particular, the warships of the Dongjiang Navy are not advanced than those of the Liu family navy, and are even more dilapidated. Faced with such old and small warships, it can be said that one shot is just a cannon.

In the era of sail warships where solid shot put and chain blasts are generally used as the main means of killing, it is still a kind of killing weapon. Only dull explosions were heard, and the Dongjiang Army naval ships rushed up one after another to prepare for desperate efforts. The holes the size of the Eight Immortals Table were blown up below the waterline, and the sea water was poured in crazily. The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army naval were shouting and shouting for help. Unfortunately, they were useless. Now the entire battlefield is in chaos, who can still care about them?

In this era, unlike later generations, small warships do not have the capital to hit the big with small attacks. Wooden warships, the smaller the warships, the smaller the caliber of the ship, and the smaller the power. Just like the four hundred material gunboats in the Liu family's navy, this kind of artillery can only fire bowl guns or Franchise cannons, and they are not land warfare versions of Franchise cannons. The shells of these two types of artillery are similar to shotguns and have very good killing effects on infantry, but for solid warships, they are not very useful at all.

The initial velocity of black gunpowder is low, and the attenuation of shells is very fast. Especially for the Wei Qing, there are two layers of guard plates on it. Whether it is a Franc cannon or a bowl gun, it is simply not enough to damage such warships.

Helena relied on this thick-skinned warship to attack in an S-shaped attack, and specifically used side guns to attack the enemy. At this time, the Wei Qing was like an angry bull, directly inserted into the middle of the Dongjiang Navy battleship. The Wei Qing and Huo Qubing took advantage of the Dongjiang Navy's Navy's failure to react and took advantage of the fact that the Dongjiang Navy did not react.

"Boom boom boom..."

One hundred and twenty artillery guns opened fire at the enemy ships around them first. At this time, the Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were like erupting volcanoes, spitting out clusters of orange-red fireballs.

This scared the soldiers of the Dongjiang Navy. There were only two enemy ships that attacked first, but their artillery fired hundreds of artillery density. The huge lethal shells rotated out of the cannon chamber and smashed them hard at the Dongjiang Navy fleet with amazing accuracy!

Especially the 160-long tube cannons with a total of 32 16 gates, and if they don't hit, they will be able to penetrate all the warships of the Dongjiang Army directly if they hit a shell weighing 18 kilograms.

It was simply a shot. In just half a stick of incense, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing fired more than 800 shells. Six warships from the Dongjiang Navy sank directly, and more than a dozen warships were damaged.

How to fight this battle?

Before they could fire, the other party killed six of their ships, and more than a dozen warships were severely damaged.

At this time, as the smoke from the sea dissipated, the Dongjiang Navy immediately discovered that there were dense Liu Family Navy warships appearing on the sea.

Liu Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at Helena and said, "Don't tell me that this is how the Venetian Navy fights naval battles!"

If this is true, the Venetian Navy would have been wiped out by the Ottoman Navy.

Helena smiled faintly and said, "That's right, in naval battles, whoever has the advantage of speed will take the absolute initiative, and whoever has the advantage of the battleships will win the complete victory!"

After Helena's explanation, Liu Mingyu realized that the Venetian navy has always used the speed advantages and ship types of their warships to make use of their own advantages as much as possible.

Fighting around like Helena is actually to lure the enemy. It is like a cavalry flying kites against enemy ships.

Liu Mingyu smiled faintly: "What if the enemy is not deceived? They can go back instead of retreating, but retreat to the port and use the shore-based fort to defend?"

Helena smiled faintly: "If this is the case, then you must check out for me in advance!"

Shen Shikui is one of the three troop chariots of the Dongjiang Army and the only remaining veteran of the Dongjiang Army. When the Dongjiang Army was first established, it was mainly Mao Wenlong, Zhao Kuan and Shen Shikui. Zhao Kuan was killed in the sixth year of Tianqi, and Mao Wenlong was also killed by Yuan Chonghuan in the second year of Chongzhen. It can be said that only Shen Shikui was left.

Whether it was Chen Jisheng after Mao Wenlong's death or Huanglong in western Liaoning, they respected Shen Shikui very much and called him Duke Shen.

Chen Zhiyong, the general of the Dongjiang Army Navy, asked with some trepidation: "Mr. Shen, what should I do now?"

Almost everyone was watching Shen Shikui's attitude.

The most terrifying thing is that the enemy's navy is well equipped! Judging from the performance of their warships and the power of naval guns, they are much stronger than their Dongjiang Army naval forces. They have no way to sink a warship with one shot, or even pour dozens of shells into the enemy ship in an instant, so that the opponent can completely disappear from the sea.

To be fair, although the equipment of the Dongjiang Army Navy is poor, its practical experience is really good, especially because they are not afraid of death, the key is that they are one inch long and one inch stronger. Their naval guns are too small and cannot reach the other party at all.

In fighting such a battle where you can't fight back, any army will soon become depressed.

At this time, the generals of the Dongjiang Army were divided into three factions, fence factions, so it goes without saying that one faction was led by Kong Youde as the rebels. The other faction was the opposition. The so-called opposition opposes Kong Youde’s rebellion, and these people were actually led by Shen Shikui, and he was the most determined to oppose the Dongjiang Army soldiers participating in the Kong Youde Rebellion. However, as Kong Youde’s troops were like snowballs, they fought more and more, and after nearly a year, they occupied nearly four of the six prefectures in Shandong.

Under this circumstance, the attitude of the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army changed. Almost all the opposition factions who supported Kong Youde and were originally firmly determined, Geng Zhongyu, both Geng Zhongming's younger brother, became supporters.

Kong Youde had no choice but to deal with Shen Shikui. Shen Shikui was old and Mao Wenlong's cheap father-in-law. Kong Youde really didn't dare to deal with him, so he sent Shen Shikui to manage the navy. The Ming Northern Fleet, which is the Dengzhou Navy, was the only official navy, and there was no battle to fight next time.

To send Shen Shikui to manage the navy is to let Shen Shikui sit on the bench.

Shen Shikui said: "Kong Erlangzi was surprised and caught the Ming Dynasty off guard. His failure was inevitable. Whether it was the Guanning Army, the Tianxiong Army, or the current Daning Army, we can just pull out one of them, and our Dongjiang Army will not be able to defeat them!"

"Mr. Shen, please see if there is a situation!"

Shen Shikui picked up the monocular lens and looked at the sea. At this time, Liu Mingyu asked someone to raise five vertical flags, with big Chinese characters written on them.

——Liu, the governor of the Ming Dynasty’s Daning Strategic Pacification Envoy.

——The commander of the Daming Daning Metropolitan Commander.

——Liu, the right governor of the Ming Dynasty——Liu, the youngest guard of the Ming Dynasty.

——Ming Ming champion Hou Liu.

Shen Shikui murmured to himself: "Champion Marquis, it's actually the Champion Marquis, he's here..."

Chen Zhiyong suddenly realized and said, "No wonder he is so powerful. He fired hundreds of shots in just half an hour. It seems that the champion Hou is still thinking about the incense, giving us a chance to choose!"

Shen Shikui looked at the generals around him and said, "What do you think?"

"We can return to the port and use the fort of Dengzhou Port..."

"The Liu family army has tens of thousands of elite troops. Do you think the champion Hou will stop easily?"

"We can escape..."

Looking at the unintentional people, Shen Shikui smiled faintly and said, "You are all wrong, we can surrender! At least our family has become the people under the rule of the champion Hou. They can be divided into fields, have clothes to wear and have food to eat!"
