The artillery battle almost instantly reached a white-hot level. Twenty lucky ships opened fire violently at six Dutch sailboats, and the sky was covered with dark shells. These shells flew in the air, causing a sharp whistling sound, and when they fell into the sea, they would stir up huge yellow sand columns...

For a moment, sand columns rose everywhere, and when the wind blew, the yellow sand fluttered, and it was misty.

The Dafu ships of Dameng Kingdom were almost all ordinary artillerymen. The shells they fired were very different from those of professional artillerymen. Not only did they have a different hit rate, but their power was also relatively poor. First of all, it was not easy to hit. It would be good if only one shot could hit the target in ten shots. Even if they hit the target next, they would not cause huge damage to the enemy ship. They could only make a small hole, or knock the side of the ship down, and then they were bounced into the sea.

Only occasionally, the shells fired by the second-level artillery of the Shenji Battalion can pose a certain threat to the Dutch sailboats. They can hit the Dutch sailboats more accurately and cause greater damage.

On the other hand, it was a bit scary. All the cannons on the Dutch sailing ships were controlled by professional artillerymen. They shot accurately and fiercely. There were at least five or more of the ten cannons that could hit the warships of the Dameng Kingdom, and each cannon could blast a big hole on the Fu Ship.

From time to time, sailors from the cute country were hit by artillery shells!

The power of the shell is really too great. It does not need to hit the vital points of the human body directly. It only needs to wipe the hands and feet and get a little oily skin. The huge force on it can spread the power to the entire person through the bones or meridians of the human body, shaking the person to death.

Therefore, the sailors of the Great Manchu Kingdom who were touched by the shells almost died on the ground without exception, with heavy casualties!

Yi Yun felt very heartbroken when he saw it, and Li Huamei couldn't help but sigh.

On the Royal Dragon Boat No. 1, Zhu Qingqing, the eunuch party, and the Donglin party were also a little stunned. Zheng Shuliang couldn't help but curse at Ye Lou loudly: "General Ye, why are your people fighting? Why are the fleet of my Heavenly Kingdom's upper country at a disadvantage against a mere small country?"

Ye Lou said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense, look quietly, the other party is very strong... What we need to do now is to get close to the distance. As long as we get close to a certain position, our shells will easily hit and their power will become larger. At that time, the advantage of more ships and more cannons will be reflected... If we fight the jump gang battle, the advantage of our many people will be even more obvious."

He took out the order flag and sent a desperate order: "Around it! Get close to the enemy!"

The twenty lucky ships were all trying hard to speed up, trying to get close to the enemy, and even the lucky ship whose mast was broken took out the slurry and rowed desperately, trying to rush over with it.

Li Huamei sighed deeply and said, "Oh, it's this tactic again... Whether it's officers and soldiers or pirates in our country, is this tactic the only one available when facing Western warships?"

After hearing this, Yi Yun asked curiously: "It's all this tactic?"

"Well!" Li Huamei nodded: "Whether it is facing the Spanish, the Portuguese, and the Dutch now, the pirates are as close as the tactics of officers and soldiers, because they are not the opponents of Westerners at all. They have to adopt this approach to fight."

Yi Yun frowned and felt unhappy.

At this time, the Dutch sailing ships in the distance began to take action. They were obviously used to dealing with the scene of being leaned over by many small boats to fight close combat. They immediately took corresponding measures.

The leading Dutch sailboat opened its sails, and the five behind it also rose together... The huge Dutch sailboat began to accelerate.

The Gallion warship is the latest warship in the West. Due to its low bow design, the ship has little wind resistance, so the ship speed is very fast. If it is in the calm Mediterranean Sea, its speed may be inferior to the Venetian gunboat. However, on the rough ocean, the Gallion warship is the fastest warship in this era.

The Dutch fleet's speed increased instantly and drove towards the front. The Fu Ship of the Da Mengguo quickly chased after him, but after this pursuit, he found that the speed of the ship was not at the same level at all. No matter how the Da Fu Ship accelerated, it was always a certain distance from the Dutch fleet, and the Dutch relied on this distance and kept firing and firing.

The Dutch's ship was in an arc shape, rotating around the fleet of Dameng Kingdom, constantly firing on the side of the side, while Dameng Kingdom wanted to chase after it, so he kept rushing against the Dutch with the bow of the ship. As a result, not only could he not catch up, but his side of the naval guns could not fire... With the shells flying, Dameng Kingdom's fleet suffered heavy casualties...

Not long after, a big lucky ship from Da Meng Kingdom finally could not withstand the flying artillery fire. The bottom of its ship was penetrated by a falling shell and began to penetrate the sand... Once such a thing happened, it was only a matter of time before and night. The officers and soldiers had to lower the boat from the ship and abandon the ship...

However, one Dafu ship carried more than 200 officers and soldiers, and it was impossible to escape all by relying on a small boat. Another Dafu ship hurried over to rescue, trying to pick up friendly troops on his ship. Unexpectedly, the evil Dutch seized this opportunity and launched a fierce shelling attack on the two sticking warships...

"ah!"

Screams sounded from the two warships. The later lucky ship not only failed to successfully rescue friendly troops, but also brought itself in. The two lucky ships were sunk at the same time. Only a dozen sailors on the ship escaped in small boats, and the others were all swallowed by the sea of ​​sand.

Everyone looked heavy and felt a little breathing...

Zhu Qingqing finally couldn't stand it anymore. She jumped up and said furiously: "The Royal No. 1 dragon boat also participated in the battle!"

"Ah?" The Donglin Party members immediately shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, you can't go to the front line with a body of ten thousand pounds."

"Your Majesty...you must not update the text as fastest - no ads //on..."

"Your Majesty, take the dragon body first!"

Zhu Qingqing Qingqing was furious: "The battle situation is urgent now, and our fleet is at a disadvantage, with heavy casualties. Only my dragon boat is equipped with eighty artillery soldiers and can still turn the craziness. How can I watch the battle here?"

"But... it doesn't matter if you lose a naval battle. Our big country has ships and people. Even if all these are gone, you can re-enlist them. If you lose a battle, you can fight again. But if the emperor has anything to do... then..." Zheng Shuliang said in a sweat.

"Fart!" Zhu Qingqing Qingqing said angrily: "What does it mean to re-summon? These soldiers are also my subjects. How can you watch them die? I have to join the war. Even if I die, it doesn't matter. Just find a prince to inherit the throne... King Jinling, King Qiantang, King Shu, King Yu, King Yu, King Jiashan, King Hu, and any king can do it!"

She waved her hand suddenly and said, "Send me the order, Royal No. 1 Dragon Boat, attack! No one is allowed to persuade you again, and you will hit the fifty boards if you are advised again."

"Emperor..." Zheng Shuliang spoke up.

Before he could say anything, Zhu Qingqing Qingqing shouted loudly: "Come on, drag Zheng Shuliang down and hit the fifty boards."

"Cough... I'm not trying to persuade you." Zheng Shuliang complained with a wry smile: "I just want to remind the emperor that King Jiashan and King Hu are the same person."

Zhu Qingqing Qingqing: “…”

She was stunned and said angrily: "Those who care about the details are all fools! Idiots also have to beat fifty boards."

While Zheng Shuliang was spanked by a big board, the Royal No. 1 dragon boat opened its sails and began to sail to the battlefield from the adjournment position where he was watching. The dragon boat, which was two laps larger than the Dutch sailboat, finally took off!

As soon as the dragon boat sailed out, it suddenly seemed extraordinary. The dragon head carved on the bow was towards the sky, arrogant and mighty. Behind the dragon head were the imperial guards with bright armor, with the best shields and steel knives in their hands, painted with exquisite lacquer patterns. Hundreds of third-level "guards", when these people used the "shield block" together, even the fifth-level divine generals might not be able to break through their defense.

The red cannon on the bow of the dragon boat also lifted the red cloth. It was a bronze cannon weighing 12,000 kilograms. The shells fired were as big as footballs, and the two dragons playing with pearls were engraved on the barrel. Its exquisiteness is comparable to that of a work of art... Its name is also very handsome, called "General Qianli Yangwei".

The corresponding to the first gun of this ship is the stern gun, weighing 8,900 kilograms. The barrel is engraved with a picture of a hundred birds watching the phoenix, and its name is: "The Cannon of Generals who are powerful in the Hundred Miles".

The two wings of the hull also opened the gun door together, and the seventy-eight thousand-jin Folang machine cannons poked out the gun barrel together.

"The dragon boat is here!"

"Royal No. 1 is majestic and domineering!"

"The Emperor is here!"

The morale of the Beiyang Navy has risen sharply!

At this time, the civil officials of the Donglin Party had already begun to withdraw into the cabin. After all, they were civil officials, and there was no need to stand on the deck when fighting. To put it bluntly, they were not only useless on the deck, but instead blocked the matter. Under the protection of a group of imperial guards, the civil officials retreated into the cabin in turn.

But Zhu Qingqing started to make trouble again. She said that she would not retreat into the cabin with the civil servants and insisted on standing on the deck to supervise the battle.

"Your Majesty, the artillery fire is ruthless..." Ye Lou wanted to persuade him.

Zhu Qingqing Qingqing waved his hand with awesomeness and said, "Don't persuade him again, otherwise there will be fifty boards!"

Ye Lou quickly shut up. He is a person who knows the current affairs. He will not sing opposites to the emperor, nor is he as shameless as the Donglin Party members. He quickly turns to do his job.
