358 Beat the Children(1/2)
To children, we should be polite first and then soldiers. If we don’t have rituals, we should meet each other.
Within 30 seconds, Espinoza's reply was not waiting for, so the other party had to see what the vitality of the next era was.
The new German gunner command lived up to expectations and fully unified the way the ship fired guns. As the flags in his hand rose and fell, nearly a thousand sailors filled the bullets, and the ignition was almost completely synchronized.
500 artillery fired at the same time, and the roar of the explosion made people tinnitus. Even the huge group of battleships was slightly deflected by this terrible recoil force.
Although the distance is still far away, Espinoza has already had tinnitus at this time. The superposition of sounds too high and too low decibels activates the protection mechanism of the human ear.
Espinoza didn't, and the scene in front of her had completely broken through the limits of his imagination. The overwhelming shells from far to near were like a group of bats in the castle in a horror story, and like a migration of black swans. It's hard to tell whether he is beautiful or ugly, but only shock.
Countless shells were like a large net illuminated across the entire Espinoza fleet.
At this time, Espinoza felt that she was no longer a noble person, but like a tuna in the water, facing the huge net of a fishing boat, and had nowhere to hide. All he could choose was to squat on the ground, cover his head, and leave it to fate.
The new German artillery guide was very accurate. He divided the ship artillery into five groups and divided the firing distance and angle. In front of a huge sample, the accurate head error rate of the shell is also very high. The gunner only needs to confirm that he can smash the shell within a radius of 100 meters and then complete the task.
It may take a long time to build a ship, but it will only take a few seconds to destroy it.
The shells penetrated the mast of the sailboat, and the shells hit the deck. The shells blew up the ship in the waist, and the shells ignited the warship.
Espinoza's proud fleet was almost wiped out under a volley. He watched the sailors jump into the sea from the burning ship, and watched the broken ships slowly set up, and then slowly remain silent. One ship was hit by more than ten heavy cannons one after another. It became a wreckage within a few seconds.
"Surrender! We surrender!!!" Espinoza shouted at the sailors of the observation deck.
Unfortunately, the sailors have long disappeared, and there is not even a lookout.
The Espinoza flagship is relatively sturdy. Although it was hit by four artillery guns, it did not sink so quickly, and the fire was burning. The sailors had already lost their minds and jumped to the sea.
Espinoza fell into despair and crouched on the ground.
"Are I going to die...I'm going to die here...I'm going to die in this ghost place..."
The adjutant rushed over and shouted, "Admiral, jump off the ship!"
"Are I going to die... die here..."
The adjutant had to put a lifebuckle on Espinoza's belly desperately and kick him out of the sea.
About half a minute later, the entire Espinoza fleet sank, leaving only those who were living or dying on the sea, but who were equally afraid.
Fang Xian watched this scene with his telescope. The only flaw was that it was too fast.
"Gerhart. It's beautifully done, this is so perfect." Fang Xian Fang Xian Telescope exclaimed.
Standing beside him was a middle-aged man with a serious face and neat hair. He was wearing a delicate black leather uniform and an old and vicissitudes of shawl, covering countless medals of honor underneath.
No matter how you look at it, this guy is like an admiral.
"Admiral, this is my duty." Gerhardt's voice was as rigorous as his appearance. "Although we have achieved great success, we must also correctly understand this battle. First of all, the enemy does not know the range of our artillery, and the entire ship is still waiting for shooting, which is equivalent to a target; secondly, our army also has plenty of time to aim and group, which undoubtedly greatly increases the accuracy rate. If the gunners are more skillful, I am confident that I will double the lock range. Again, the enemy's ships are all commercially transported, both armor and durability are average. If it is a military warship, it may not be so smooth."
"Yes, I like guys like you." Fang Xian praised.
"It is my honor to be able to follow the admiral to resist hegemony, injustice and plunder." Gerhard bowed and saluted.
"No need to be so. You are a soldier, and there is no reason to bend over to me." Fang Xian quickly helped him up and asked, "Gelhart, if you are the admiral on the opposite side and have all the information, how will you fight?"
"I will surrender," said Gerhardt, "It is almost difficult to escape under the deterrence of our army's mobility and firepower, let alone win."
"Oh? So sincere? If the opponent is a pirate, you will surrender?"
"Yes." Gerhardt didn't feel embarrassed about this. "Surrendering and becoming a prisoner is not a shame for the soldiers, but another kind of honor. Every soldier is a state's financial hard work to cultivate. The soldiers have the responsibility to ensure their safety, because when they put on their battle robes, their bodies no longer belong to them."
"Beautiful answer." Fang Xian asked, "If you don't surrender, you must fight to the death. With the mentality of killing as many enemies as you can, how would you fight?"
"Well..." After a brief thought, Gerhardt explained while waving his arms, "First of all, I will disperse the ship as soon as possible, so as to avoid being covered by the firepower network, and at the same time it can disrupt the opponent's commander's position and cause command lag. After that, I will escape in the opposite direction with all my might. If the opponent pursues, only the bow gun can play a role, which is equivalent to a reduction in firepower by 95%. In high-speed navigation, the accuracy of the shell will also be greatly reduced. If the helmsman has rich experience,
This stage can almost lose 0 losses. If the enemy wants to sail sideways, they must chase the enemy to a very close distance before expanding it. Otherwise, we will escape the range of range just after the design is unfolded. In this way, I can take advantage of this to seize the right time to turn the rudder, and fire the gun when the distance is closest to make up for the disadvantage of range. If I have good luck, I may be able to cause some blow to the enemy before the entire army is wiped out, but it is impossible to sink such a fully armored battleship, with just a few cannons."
Fang Xian was impressed by the clear logic and judgment of the former officer. He was also a person who liked to think about strategies. He asked with a little difficulty and curiosity: "Well, then on the other hand, how do you deal with this wandering tactic?"
"Encircle." Gruhart replied without thinking, "Using the advantage of maneuver power, the two ships will be rounded in an arc and blocked the enemy's retreat. At that time, catch turtles in the jar."
"Well... Then the other way around..."
"If you face the siege, you can only find the right time to kill the charge. Try to hit an enemy ship before sinking.\\First\\"
"On the other way around..."
"Admiral, the situation of the battle has changed rapidly, and the battle has been in so many rounds. It has already been a victory or defeat."
"Haha..." Fang Xian scratched his head and smiled, "The game of military tactics is really profound."
"In fact, for us now, we basically don't need military tactics. The advantages of mobility and firepower are enough to ignore all tactics." Gruhart sighed, "I was wondering how I would judge if I face a commander with the same fleet as us one day."
"Yes, this is the question you need to think about." Fang Xian laughed, "and I. I want to try my best to avoid this situation and always ensure the suppression of our own military."
"Strategies always take precedence over tactics," said Gruhart.
"Well, this battle has opened my eyes. I will allocate you 100,000 gold coins. Please be sure to train these sailors."
"I don't need a reward. The allowance you give is enough for my consumption." Gruhart declined, "I just hope that you can end these chaotic wars and oppressions as soon as possible and return the sea to the sea."
"must."
...
Espinoza woke up and found a letter in the cage.
"Your port belongs to me. Your gold coins belong to me, but I have no intention of occupying your body. I will entrust you to my friends. You will have the opportunity to visit India, Indonesia, East Asia and other places. If you are lucky, maybe a circus is willing to buy you and can barely have enough food. If you feel lonely, please don't worry. I guess someone will come to accompany you soon. There will be a period of time later."
Espinoza trembled and held the letter, looking around, and there was no one.
"Adminton?!Sailor!!"
No one answered him, it seemed that he was the only one who was being sold.
"No!!!!"
In the echo of Espinoza's own howling, there was a step from far to near.
"Long time no see." A middle-aged man with short hair looked at him with interest.
"You...you are!!!" Espinoza exclaimed, "Kun! Are you Kuhn? We have seen it, do you still remember me?"
"Of course, you were the overlord of East Africa, the wealthy Mr. Espinoza."
"That's good, just remember me!" Espinoza begged, "Look, although we have some conflicts between us, we are all from the upper class in Europe and have our rules. I will tell you an intelligence, a crucial intelligence."
"Oh? Interesting."
"It's not just interesting..." Espinoza was serious. "Mr. Kuhn, something is wrong. There is a demon from the East with the most terrifying fleet in the world. We must unite and annihilate him together... He is the enemy of the whole Europe..."
"The whole of Europe? I can't see it."
"He must be taken seriously...the fleet's artillery is unimaginable and I cannot describe it in words."
"As far as I know, the strength of that fleet's hand-to-hand combat is also incredible."
"What? Do you know them?"
"Of course, the Fang family navy is right."
Espinoza said in horror: "It is Mr. Kuhn, and the information is fast. Since you are here, I beg you to negotiate for me and buy me out. I will thank you very much after returning home."
"Return to China? I think it's unlikely." Kuhn shook his head, "I regret to tell you that you are on a ship heading to Malacca now."
"What?" Espinoza was full of surprise. At this moment, she thought again that the letter was talking to him that he had a friend.
"Are you and him...?!"
"We are the strongest allies," Kuhn smiled. "I said that Fang's enemies are half of Europe, including you, but not us."
"Bastard!!!" Espinoza finally figured it out and cursed, "Where is the dignity? Where is the dignity of the Dutch?! Work with the barbarians in the East to deal with their own people?"
"I have no intention of insulting you." Kuhn shrugged, "but in my opinion, you are much more savage."
Espinoza stayed in place. Finally, she sighed and collapsed on the ground.
"You will regret it, go against us."
"It's not the right thing, Espinoza, you seem to have forgotten that we are merchants." Kuhn sighed, "Businessmen are indeed profit-oriented and are very petty, but these are all bottom lines. If you cross that line, you are not even worthy of being a merchant."
He said, taking out a paper, still in front of Espinoza.
"This is the document of your royal family, you can read it yourself."
Espinoza picked up the second bad news.
"Espinoza is a shame for Portugal. He was trampled on the moral bottom line and the human nature, and introduced the disappeared barbaric traces into Europe again. After unanimous decision to deprive Espinoza of his nationality and title, he would no longer be allowed to step into the Libyan Peninsula."
"How is it possible?!!" If Espinoza, the letter left by Fang Xian, could understand, then this royal document would make people crazy, "How could the royal family do this? I have no credit to the country and have worked hard? This is impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible." Kuhn looked at Espinoza who was sank on the ground, with a blank expression on his face. "No Portuguese fleet will be available in Southeast Asia, Indian Ocean or Africa. All you have left is Lisbon."
"War? Has the Netherlands declared war on us?"
"There is no need to declare war." Kuhn smiled grimly, "Fang has killed your foundation overseas, and the era of Portugal has passed. To punish you, you only need to put a little pressure on diplomacy and military."
Kuhn gestured a very small point with his fingers, then turned around and left.
Espinoza was empty and collapsed, and there was no place to accommodate him, both the sea and the motherland.
The Fang family navy made a long adjustment in Sofara.
