Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 733 Head-to-head confrontation
The 24 cannons of the flagship of the Beiyang Navy Shanhaiguan began to roar at the same time, black smoke suddenly enveloped the sky over Shanhaiguan, and the Palawan naval battle began.

This was the first official battle of the Beiyang Navy since it became an army. Except for Liu Hongjian and a few senior generals, no one knew that they were facing the new generation of Europa Armada.

"Old Qi, don't begrudge the ammunition, give me a hard bang!" Liu Hongjian roared into the walkie-talkie.

The gunfire just now was just Liu Hongjian's demonstration to the Dutch. Although he was somewhat naive, Liu Hongjian felt very comfortable. After floating at sea for a month, he finally encountered the enemy.

Even if this enemy is too famous for the Beiyang Navy, how can the Beiyang Navy know where the gap is without trying their skills.

In Liu Hongjian's words, even if the Beiyang Navy was defeated and only one warship was left, they should shout out with their decayed vocal cords, "You are a happy girl!"

"I obey your orders. Our front line has been deployed. We wait for the enemy ships to come into range. There are still ten breaths left!" Qi Yuangong replied.

"He Bin, why are you shivering?" Liu Hongjian frowned when he saw that He Bin was hiding at the door of the hatch and did not dare to come out, his legs were still shaking like chaff.

Although He Bin has no great talent, he is a competent translator. Although he is as timid as a mouse, Liu Hongjian still rejected He Bin's request to continue to work in Taiwan, and insisted on taking him with him.

"My lord, I'm not shivering!" He Bin raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"No trembling, why are your legs shaking?"

"Small... I can't control the little one!"

Boom—boom——

The artillery of the Beiyang Navy opened fire first, and the sides of ten No. 22 blessing ships and [-] No. [-] blessing ships shook violently. The surroundings of the Dutch fleet [-] yards away suddenly seemed to be surrounded by Qiao Feng's Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon. Like arouse countless waves.

Sure enough, Laozi's cannon is still slightly better than the Dutchman's, at least in terms of range, Liu Hongjian put down the binoculars and said proudly.

It's just this power... Liu Hongjian sighed, almost embarrassed!

He clearly saw the shells of the Beiyang Navy hit the Dutch battleship, but then it slid into the sea, and the Dutch battleship didn't seem to be hurt except for obvious scratches.

However, the shells that hit the deck were very powerful. If you were lucky, you could make a hole in the deck, and even if you didn't smash it through, the soldiers on the ship would rush to lie down with their heads in their hands.

But the shells that could hit the Dutch battleship were too few, at least 90.00% of the five shells landed on the sea, and Liu Hongjian was very dissatisfied with this.

It's just that he can't help it, and what he doesn't know is that even at the end of the nineteenth century, more than 200 years later, the artillery hit rate in naval battles has not reached [-]%.

Besides, the Beiyang Navy is still so far away from the Dutch warships.

Boom—boom—boom——

After the Dutch warship suffered a round of salvo from the Beiyang Navy, it finally entered the range. When the Beiyang Navy turned the rudder, the Dutch warship opened fire.

Duang - Duang - bang - bang -

Unlike the Dutch warships, because the surface of the Beiyang Navy's ships is covered with steel armor, the sound of solid shells hitting them can be described as very pleasant.

"Is this the power of the Dutch battleship? Hmph, it's nothing!" Liu Hongjian said contemptuously.

He has been carefully observing the warship of the Beiyang Navy hit by shells, and found that, as he expected, the shells of the Dutch could only leave a crater of varying depths on the steel armor, but failed to break through the hull.

It seems that it's not that the Dutch warships have a short range, but that they want to fight closer, so that the power is even greater, Liu Hongjian thought to himself.

The Dutch battleship stopped advancing after a round of cannon fire, but began to shoot at each other with the Beiyang navy, and the surroundings of the two warships suddenly became like a goddess scattered flowers.

"It's really boring, it's still boring!" Liu Hongjian looked at it for a while and frowned.

The so-called sea battle was nothing more than battleships lined up on both sides, which was far less intense and exciting than Liu Hongjian imagined.

If this sea battle is put on land, what is the difference with Europa's queuing and shooting tactics today?
"Old Qi, send me the king's order to attack the enemy while firing the cannons!" Due to the sound of the cannons, the message was basically sent by shouting, and so did Liu Hongjian.

The shells were too far away to cause ideal damage. The Beiyang Navy's ironclad ships were the only ones in the world. Liu Hongjian felt that they could be fired closer.

"I obey!" Qi Yuangong replied.

Although Liu Hongjian's orders were a bit sloppy, playing cards not according to common sense has always been his strength. Qi Yuangong also wanted to test the resilience of the Beiyang Navy, and did not refute Liu Hongjian's orders.

After a while, the warships of the Beiyang Navy began to advance towards the Dutch fleet under the instructions of the flag bearer, which made the commander of the Dutch fleet, Viscount Jon, frown.

"Governor, Ming's warship is charging over! It's less than [-] yards away from us!" The flagship officer of the Hector reported anxiously to Governor Jon of Batavia.

"I see, keep firing!" Jon straightened his captain's cap and said expressionlessly.

"Yes, Your Excellency Governor!" The first officer saluted and immediately went to give instructions to the flag bearer.

Although it has long been heard that the artillery newly developed by Daming is comparable to their Dutch artillery in terms of range, but only after seeing it with his own eyes, Jon has to admit that Daming's artillery technology has surpassed Franji.

What surprised him even more was not the artillery of the Ming Dynasty, but the metal layer on the surface of the warship of the Ming Dynasty. The reason why the warships of the Netherlands can withstand the attack of long-distance artillery is that in addition to using the strongest wood, the surface of the hull is also Processed using the latest technology.

However, the warships of the Beiyang Navy were simply covered with metal on the surface, and the metal was silvery white, which could withstand their artillery attacks.

Domestic shipbuilders have thought of covering the surface of the hull with metal, but they have never found suitable materials in the selection of materials. Although iron can withstand artillery, its strength is still too low, and it is easy to rust when it gets wet.

But what is that layer of metal on the surface of the Ming battleship?Jon couldn't think about riding sister, but now he didn't have time to think about it.

Jon regarded the demonstration by the flagship of the Beiyang Navy as child's play just now, but the sudden attack by the Ming warship surprised him greatly.

A few years ago, he had participated in the naval battle between the Dutch and Zheng Yiguan. The fighting style of the Zheng family's navy mostly took advantage of the huge number of warships.

First use the main ships to bombard them, and when the battle enters a stalemate period, the small wooden boats of the Zheng family's navy can always rush into their fleet by surprise, and ignite their battleships in a way of killing them together.

Could it be... do these big people think the same way?
snort!Do people in Daming really think that I, Jon, can jump into the same fire pit twice?Jon looked contemptuously at the Da Ming warship in the distance and thought, his fleet will never be disturbed by Da Ming's bird ship!

bang bang bang bang bang bang-

Since the warships on both sides were already very close, the distance between them was less than two hundred yards, and the impact of the shells on the hull became stronger.

"Your Excellency, Ming's warships are still... still approaching, only 150 yards away, and our warships have already begun to suffer substantial damage. Among them, five Tier [-] battleships have been seriously injured, and two Tier [-] battleships have also been lost. Combat power." First officer Varys came to report again.

"Continue to fight back!" Jon said angrily.

At such a short distance, not only his warships of the Netherlands were suffering losses, but Ming's warships were not much better either.

Through the telescope, Jon could clearly see that the metal on the hulls of several warships in the Ming Fleet had fallen off, and even those that hadn't fallen off were all pitted.

"My lord, we have damaged eight Dutch warships," Qi Yuangong reported to Liu Hongjian through the walkie-talkie.

"Fun! Let's fight like this, give me the aura of Ming Dynasty!" After the two fleets approached, the artillery hit rate increased rapidly, Liu Hongjian felt the tremor of the sea, and said excitedly.

"It's just...the navy also lost six ships, if you don't count the winter ship and the bird ship." Qi Yuangong hesitated for a moment, the two sides were too close, he had to remind Liu Hongjian.

"This is the first battle of the Beiyang Navy of the Ming Dynasty. Remember, old Qi, this king will never back down!" Liu Hongjian said seriously.

The Dutch may be rich, and their warships may be more sophisticated, but when it comes to overall national strength, Ming is not afraid of any country.

"I obey! But my lord, should we..." Qi Yuangong seemed to remember something, and then reminded.

"Oh, this king almost forgot about this! Ma De, after eating this king's dry food for a month, it can finally come in handy!"
