The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 2759: Ridiculous, pathetic, miserable French!

The enemy army was imminent, and it was too late to get orders from Paris, and the heavy responsibility of command fell on his head.

De Rabio Sarabia asked the officer hopefully: "Can the shore artillery attack the enemy's battleship?"

He knew that the 150-caliber coastal artillery was powerful, and it would be great if it could expel the incoming enemy ships.

"No!" The officer shook his head and said, "The enemy's battleships are equipped with heavy artillery, and the range is farther than ours. We can't hit them, but they can hit our ships."

"Damn it, **** it!" de Rabio Sarabia said with hatred.

The cannons outside the port roared, and the heavy artillery on the battleship Nanhua bombarded the French ships in the naval port unhurriedly, baring its fangs like a demon, causing the French to bleed.

After a while, De Rabio Sarabia said weakly: "Call the captains to the meeting!"

The captains came soon after. There was a meeting before, but there was no result. This time, the captains met again and reached a consensus immediately: "You can't sit still!"

Fighting is impossible, the Nanhua battleships outside are several times larger than yourself.

A frightened bird, how worthy of a fight? !

Then the only option is to escape, even to other ports in France. The coastal defense of Brest Naval Port is weak, and the coastal defense of the rest of the seaports is even worse. They cannot withstand the offensive of the Nanhua Navy at all.

You can only escape to Spain, or, escape to North America!

Speaking of escaping to North America, everyone shook their heads again.

France is a large country on land. There are only a few small colonies in North America. There are not many birds there, they are quite backward, and they can't even repair their ships.

In the end, De Rabio Sarabia decided to flee to Spain to see the situation first, so everyone dispersed and prepared separately.

De Rabio Sarabia wrote a letter and sent it to Paris to report the matter to the king, expressing that it was imperative that he could not allow the battleship to be sunk by the Chinese in vain.

The day passed quickly and night came, but the French did not flee at night.

In ancient times, it was not a last resort, and they seldom sailed at night, especially at the seaside. They planned to travel early the next morning.

At night, the French can't sleep peacefully, and the **** Chinese are still firing cannons.

Their six heavy artillery battleships were divided into two batches, one group rested, the other group fired, and they fired in turn. The damage was not great, which disturbed the morale of the French army.

What's more, Nanhua's gunners are skilled in artillery. Even if the French ship's anchorage is blacked out, they can often hit the French ship. I don't know when I will get a bomb and die unexpectedly.

After finally getting up until dawn, the Frenchman with a pair of panda eyes got up and saw that three more cruisers had been sunk, and several battleships had been shot.

Half-sunk or submerged cruise ships with their masts sticking out of the water were busy loading injured sailors and corpses.

Rarely efficient, when the sky was dim, the French ship left the port!

They all want to run for their lives, holding on to hope in case of emergency: "Are the Chinese still sleeping? Then we can escape safely."

Twenty-eight battleships and 30 cruisers left the port, and then encountered the interception of the Nanhua battleship and cruiser.

The French cruisers were useless and scattered all at once, while the battleships still walked in groups, trying to cover each other and increase the chance of escape.

At this time, the Nanhua battleships attacked strongly, taking advantage of their large number of ships, and adopted a two-on-one stance, that is, two battleships attacked a French battleship. Shell and shoot them.

Before sailing far from the port, the Nanhua ship successfully formed a "threesome" with all the French ships, that is, the French ships sailed in the middle, and a Nanhua battleship sailed side by side with the French ships on each side, attacking each other.

The French ships fired their bows left and right, playing with great joy.

It is easy to say and easy to do. The quality of the officers and sailors on the French ship is too poor. If it were the Spaniards, Dutch and British in the past, even if the battleship Nanhua outnumbered them, it would be difficult to form such a battle. scene.

It is necessary to divide the enemy ship group, but also to maintain the same direction and distance from the unpredictable enemy ship to attack.

There was chaos on the French ship, and the inexperienced officers gave vague and inconsistent orders indiscriminately. The sailors were at a loss, and their eyes were high and their hands were low. Even after the French ship turned, the speed was very slow, and the Nanhua battleship had to stop and wait for them!

In the words of Colonel Sun Zhicheng, the captain of the "Southeast Asia 163", "I'm going to sleep, maybe the French haven't advanced yet!"

Two Nanhua battleships were unable to move side by side with the French battleship "Tank", not because the Chinese were poor, but because the battleship "Tank" was circling in circles and could not move forward smoothly.

The "Frank" was wandering around in the sea, and it would not be worth the loss if it was bumped into. Therefore, the two Nanhua battleships had no choice but to lower their sails and wait until it sailed like a model before chasing and fighting!

In the period of sailing, it is not easy to control a large sailing ship. To move a three-masted battleship, it requires experienced officers to issue orders and command, and a large number of sailors cooperate tacitly according to the orders. Both are indispensable.

Why do we talk about a century-old navy? The growth of these officers and sailors cannot be completed by assault training. For example, the captains of the battleships of the Nanhua Navy are required to have the qualifications to sail around the world, and they have to go to the unpredictable North Pacific to hunt and kill a whale. Record (the baby whale asks: "What mistake did I make?") Otherwise, you can't be the captain.

To train a battleship captain in this way, first of all, you have to have money to support your fleet to sail around the world. Didn’t you say that there are ballast stones in the bottom of the sailboat to stabilize the sailboat? The ballast stones of those Nanhua training sailboats traveling around the world are not stones, but large silver balls.

In case something happens in the middle of the voyage, the silver ball will come in handy: buying, buying goods and so on, as long as it can be done with silver, it is not troublesome.

In the eyes of Emperor Yan Changwu, every battleship captain is a priceless treasure. He would rather spend a lot of money on silver **** than to keep his navy safe, that is, to spend money to eliminate disasters.

The Nanhua Navy was formed through continuous and intensive training~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Due to the adoption of various protective measures, there are more and more mature officers and sailors. In addition, Nanhua is a country based on the sea, and there are also a large number of qualified sailors among the people Available for Navy selection.

The four major maritime powers in Europe, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, have many overseas colonies and have many officers and sailors with long-distance sailing capabilities, but the French have never been a maritime power. However, most of the sailors were recruited by force, lacked training, and were of average quality.

What's worse is that the conditions on the ship are poor and lack of personnel. There were not enough people in the first place. As soon as they left the port, they were thrown away by the Chinese with shells and bullets. As a result, the officers and sailors on the "Frank" could not control their battleship , could only turn around in circles, the officers and soldiers on the two Nanhua battleships watching were doing nothing, so anxious that they even wanted to send someone over to help them control it!

In the words of an officer on the ship: "My ten-year-old son's ship handling skills are better than theirs!"

It's ridiculous, sad, and miserable for a Gallic chicken to learn how to play battleships like others, and to end up like this!

With the roar of artillery, the French battleships were struggling to advance, and they all fell into the tragic situation of being beaten by two battleships of Nanhua. 2084/10288708
