The first thousand one hundred and fifty-six chapters seven-star island naval battle (seven)
The situation is already very critical. Once the Zheng family warships disperse, there are too many targets, and the eleven warships cannons are not enough to take care of them. This has led to the Zheng family's naval warships passing by on both sides, and some of the side cannons can be used to counterattack Wang Yilin's troops.
One after another, warships were hit.
Fortunately, the Zheng family navy was still using solid bullets, causing few casualties.
In this case, it is logical that any chief general should order his retreat. While both sides are still far away, and the Wusong Navy is coming, he can get rid of his body.
But Wang Yilin refused to retreat, so he decisively ordered the warship to form a triangular formation from horizontal to vertical to launch a counterattack on the enemy.
This is recklessness.
Naval warfare is different from land warfare. On land, soldiers are concentrated to form a joint force, and counterattack with fewer strikes in the local area, which is a means of breaking through below.
But it is not possible at sea, and the ship has strong inertia, so the distance between ships is not a few feet or ten feet. The distance between two warships must be kept a hundred feet away in the closest formation, in order to prevent collisions between each other.
The result of forming a triangular formation and charging against the enemy is often that the enemy passes through the gap smoothly, and both sides use guns to shoot at close range.
This is very terrifying. Within the almost extreme shooting range, you almost fire the opponent's nose, which is almost a way of fighting to die together.
Few people will command a naval battle like this, because such tactics make it difficult to control the final result.
When shooting close, there is no need to aim or any experience and technology. All you can do is to fire the gun, and there will be no second chance, because after firing the gun, there is no time to load, and there is even no need to escape. You won’t know whether the dense gun will hit the running self.
Wang Yilin just wanted to do this!
The kind of general there will be any kind of soldiers.
Even the soldiers of the former Wang Deren's troops who had just surrendered were still executing Wang Yilin's orders without fail under such a "absurd" order.
This is different from land warfare. As long as the main general does not escape, no one can escape.
The sea outside the boat, jumped down, and the result was the same, and died!
So, the most brutal scene of this naval battle appeared.
One of the eleven warships, one of which also ignited a fire, turned around slowly, formed a triangular formation, and rushed towards the Zheng family naval commander.
The Zheng family navy had more than 60 ships, which were scattered at this time, with a horizontal span of nearly ten miles, and it formed at most two rows.
That is to say, it has no depth.
I have to say that Wang Yilin has a very powerful response on the battlefield, at least on the naval battlefield, his eyes are vicious.
Although it is forced, although there is a flame of hatred in my heart.
But his order is indeed the only way to deal with this situation except retreat.
Zheng Cai was panicked.
When Zheng Cai saw Wang Yilin's tribe turn around, he thought his plan had succeeded and thought Wang Yilin's tribe was about to escape.
In fact, a general with a normal mind can only choose to escape.
No one would use eleven to crash into more than sixty ships.
Wang Yilin is not a normal person.
The soldiers under his command are not normal either.
It was only five or six miles away, but after Wang Yilin ordered the direction to change, he approached two or three miles again.
Fortunately, Wang Yilin's warship had not fallen sails, otherwise, this distance would not have time to accelerate.
In other words, when the eleven warships were adjusting their direction and started to accelerate shortly after, the two sides were approaching less than two miles.
Zheng Cai was panicked.
He suddenly realized that what the other party wanted was not trying to escape, because the other party's bow no longer turned, but was accelerating towards his flagship.
This is going to collide!
Needless to mention an old sailor like him, even a rookie knows that if you really want to collide, you will definitely choose the biggest ship - the flagship to collide.
Zheng Cai's flagship was in the second row, with three main battleships covering the front, but Zheng Cai knew that the eleven triangular formations rushed over, and the three ships in front could not cover themselves at all.
However, the distance is too close to no way to change direction and make any effective response methods, and there is no time to hang out a flag order to order all warships to fire volleys at the enemy.
At this time, without the flagship order, no one dared to fire at Wang Yilin's army.
Because the shells are not eye-catching, the shells are likely to hit their own ships at such a close distance.
The only way Zheng Cai would not be hit by a thirty-pound shell is to jump into the sea in two words.
Is Zheng Cai willing to jump?
Refused!
At this time, even if Zheng Cai wanted to admit defeat, he had no time.
What he can do is to give orders and bump into it!
This command is very correct.
If you run into it, you will have the possibility of survival. If you pass by it, it will be even more dangerous.
Because the ships of both sides meet, the enemy on both sides will be enemies, and the guns on both sides will inevitably fire volleys.
Dozens of cannons, almost hit the cannon. Can wooden warships withstand this intensity of shelling?
It's too late, then it's time to go.
The distance between two miles is accelerating head-on, and that is a blink of an eye.
Three loud "Boom-Boom-Boom" sounds accompanied by the dull sound of the crawling wooden board breaking and the iron plates colliding with each other.
Crashed!
The huge inertia caused the six ships that collided with to soar into the sky, and the wooden tip, which was sharper than the tip of the knife, to pierce into the other party's hull, and it was instantly inseparable.
In the thrilling eyes of countless people, the warship, like a continuous baby, fell to the side and smashed back to the sea, causing waves higher than the house.
The people on both sides had no chance to jump into the sea, and they were passively dropped off the boat and were then decapitated by the wreckage of the hull that was smashed back to the sea.
However, this is just the beginning.
Zheng Cai guessed correctly. The three ships in front of him could not cover his flagship at all.
Looking at the flagship facing the other person who was hitting him, Zheng Cai felt a little regret flashed in his heart.
I regret not being provoked such a lunatic.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Seeing the tragic appearance of the three warships in front, Zheng Cai grabbed the steering wheel at the last moment and swung it to the left for several rounds.
This action has no meaning, Zheng Cai is just a subconscious action.
After all, he was afraid.
He wanted to avoid a head-on collision, but this distance would be difficult for the gods to stop the collision.
But Zheng Cai's move did deflect the bow a little.
This caused the two ships not to hit each other directly, but to have a staggered angle.
This staggered resulted in the collision between the two ships, which had a different result than before.
Because the bow of the ship is sharp, the sharp one will slide when touching the other top surface of the ship, but inertia causes the ship to continue to move forward, which makes the ship's side of the two ships instantly squeeze and arch upward.
At this time, the two sides began to bombard each other with guns.
