I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Both sides are interested in a quick decision, and the scene is a dry fire, which will burn at one point.

The two sides approached quickly, and Hua Jun still maintained a slightly dominant angle, which the Portuguese could also accept.

Immediately afterwards, there was another boring artillery battle.

Most of the battles after hand-to-hand combat are in this mode.

The jump gang war was eliminated decades ago.

As for other fireboat attacks, the Portuguese were also prepared.

But seeing the speed of the Dahua Navy, they gave up those fireboat attacks.

Because their fireboats simply can't catch up.

"The port side has been shot into the water. Block it."

The Yangzhou was very unlucky. The side of the ship was continuously shot, the side of the ship was broken, and the hull began to flood.

Basically, being beaten like this is useless.

The current water resistance of ships is still very poor. Unlike the warships of later generations, they can continue to fight as if they have poured thousands of tons of water into them.

The sinking of the Yangzhou is already a matter of time. What the people on board have to do is to try their best to delay the process.

Fire as many shots as possible before sinking.

As the order was given, some sailors went down to the cabin with the repair materials, then nailed new boards in the gaps and painted them with waterproof tung oil.

However, this can only serve as a delay.

Under the pressure of seawater, this wound will definitely not last long. The seawater will penetrate first, then continue to destroy the wound, and finally seawater will flood in.

Yangzhou continued to counterattack while making amends.

All the artillery on the ship fired, and some artillery with a bad angle simply shot the shells out.

Anyway, if you don't get out as soon as possible, nothing can be saved when the ship sinks.

Fighting out now, although it's basically a lonely fight, it's good to scare the enemy.

Maybe, you can still get one or two of the shit luck.

After all, the angle is not enough. In theory, both sides are moving with each other, and it is not an accident that something happens.

The Chinese army was in full swing, and the Portuguese fleet suffered an instant disaster.

Now at a close distance, a large number of artillery shells fell on their ship, and the explosive shrapnel filled the entire deck and battery.

Many skilled gunners were stewed in one pot, and the next cannons could not be used by anyone.

Some soldiers who could not bear this kind of pressure simply jumped into the sea, or hid in the cabin and shivered.

At the beginning, the Portuguese were still able to meet Dahua, but after a few rounds, the sound of the artillery on the Portuguese ship became sparser.

Those soldiers were either killed or went into hiding.

This is quite fatal, which means that they are getting weaker and weaker, and the damage to Dahua will be less and less.

After noticing this situation, Mengius frowned. This naval battle was more difficult than expected.

Not only was Hua Jun's speed faster than them, but in terms of the practicability of artillery shells, Da Hua's was also slightly better.

If you continue to fight like this, if you want to annihilate the opponent, I am afraid that this fleet of your own will also be scrapped.

Although the ship hadn't sunk, the sailors and artillerymen on the ship were all technical talents. They could not be used by just grabbing a peasant over here. It took a long time to train them.

These people are dead, and it will take a long time for their fleet to recover.

As a last resort, Mentius really didn't want to die together.

The battle of death is only applicable when there is only one opponent.

And now, the Portuguese always have to worry about being Spanish or British. Therefore, they always need to retain a part of their strength to deter opponents.

And Bao Shun'an didn't want it anymore. If they all died, the consequences would be even more serious.

Therefore, in the case that neither side wanted to fight very much, the two sides began to have a tacit separation.

The Chinese army and the Portuguese interceptor fleet passed each other and fired a round.

Then, the Hua army fled far away, and the Portuguese fleet did not pursue, acquiescing to the draw.

In the moment they passed by, hundreds of people died on the Portuguese side, and nearly a thousand people were injured. In addition to some casualties from the previous shelling, their total casualties in this naval battle reached more than 2,300 people. .

This number is very afraid, more than any naval battle of the Portuguese.

Although many ships were sunk in previous naval battles, very few people died, and people could still be rescued when those ships were sunk.

This time, their boat was saved, but the casualties were heavy.

On the Huajun side, the losses were not small. Both Yangzhou and Zhenjiang suffered heavy losses and were forced to give up after leaving the battlefield.

A large amount of seawater poured into the cabin, and the whole ship could not reach the shore.

In desperation, the crew had to abandon the ship.

Most of the people on board were rescued, but everything on board was lost.

Two warships were lost, and more than 100 people were killed or wounded. The losses of the Chinese army were also heavy.

Of course, Portugal is much worse by comparison.

After this battle, they didn't really want to use force to solve this problem, and they really couldn't afford to hurt.

Seeing that Dahua and the Portuguese have died down, the British and Spaniards watching the battle are not sorry, but they hope that the two sides can fight to the death.

Now this result makes both Dahua and Portugal still have combat power. It is much more difficult for them to get cheap, and the price they need to pay is too high, so they have to think carefully.

.

"Let's go, it can be regarded as a lot of information collected, not in vain."

"Then we must hurry up and hope that the guys in the council can stop procrastinating, intervene as soon as possible, and seek benefits."

After watching the good show, William and Johnson and others started their return flight.

This naval battle has benefited them a lot.

At least, knowing the two new weapons and equipment of steam engines and howitzers, and having a direction, can speed up the progress of research.

After the Portuguese navy returned, it quickly explained the situation to the royal family, hoping to resolve this dispute through negotiation.

Continue to fight, the end will be even worse.

Although the Portuguese king was depressed, there was nothing he could do. When it was time to swallow his voice, he had to endure it.

Had it not been for patience, he would have been annexed by Spain long ago.

In order to maintain independence, he gave Spain a lot of benefits.

On the one hand, maintaining a certain ability to counterattack makes Spain scruples, and on the other hand, making appropriate profits so that Spain can take it as soon as possible. This is how their small country survives.

Therefore, compromise has long been accustomed to the Portuguese king.

Shame, it has already been lost.

Portugal and Bao Shunan conducted a second round of negotiations. This time, the person in charge has become a senior official in Portugal and a member of the royal family.

Paric, on the other hand, has been dismissed and transferred back to China.

No matter how wronged he was, in short, he didn't handle the matter well, which led to a war with Dahua. This was his fault.
