He watched helplessly as a cannonball erupted from the muzzle and headed towards him.
Then it passed over his head and broke the mast of his ship!
Fu Haishan stood there blankly, his face full of fear from the bottom of his heart.
That oppressive feeling of a cannonball heading towards your head!
People who have never felt it can never imagine it!
Fu Haishan's pants were already wet. He had just watched the cannonballs flying towards him. The speed was obviously not very fast, but he just couldn't move or dodge!
After a while, Fu Haishan came back to his senses from the panic, fell down on the overtime table, and said blankly.
"It's fatal, it's fatal!"
"Damn it, the thieves' cannons are so powerful!"
His whole body was shaking.
Although the fighting between the Ming and Qing Dynasties was very intense, Qiongzhou, a remote place, really did not experience many wars.
As a native of Qiongzhou, Fu Haishan has always worked as an errand in the Qiongzhou Navy. The job he did in the past was usually to blackmail passing merchant ships and maintain order.
I really have never experienced any large-scale war!
It was not until the naval battle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties began that he realized what a real war was!
Boom! Boom!
The artillery on the Ming warships was firing continuously.
One after another, the cannonballs seemed to be free of charge, and they hit the Qing ships.
Katcha! Katcha! Katcha!
The sound of kacha kept ringing, and the entire sea was littered with broken Qing warships and smashed wooden boards.
boom!
The Ming army used arson bombs.
The red-hot iron bullets were fired at the Qing army's arson ship.
With a bang, the Qing army's arson ship was instantly ignited, and flames and thick smoke rose into the sky.
The Qing sailors on the ship jumped off the ship like crazy, their faces full of fear.
The arson boats were set ablaze, and huge fireballs exploded on the sea.
The artillery of the Qing army was also fighting back desperately!
The sound of cannons rumbled, and cannonballs hit the Ming army's battleships one after another.
The shells hit the side of the Ming warship, but the effect was minimal.
Most of the warships of the Ming army were sailing battleships, and they were also plywood ships, Dafu ships, and Spanish armed merchant ships.
These ships are capable of traveling across the ocean and can withstand the wind and waves of the sea!
Especially those sailing battleships, the average thickness of the side plates is almost half a meter.
Those small cannons on the Qing army's warships couldn't fire at all!
Some soldiers of the Qing Dynasty stood on the deck of the ship with their bows and arrows ready, and shot arrows at the Ming warships.
Arrows missed each other and crossed arcs in the air, shooting towards the ships of the Ming army.
On the deck, many Ming soldiers were hit by thrown arrows and screamed in agony.
Bang! Bang, bang, bang!
The Ming army's musketeers raised their muskets, stuck their heads out from the bulwarks, and fired a burst of fire at the Qing army below.
In an instant, the archers on the deck of the Qing army suffered heavy losses.
The two sides exchanged fierce shots, and some people fell to the ground and screamed.
Jin Shusheng stood on the bow of the boat, shouting loudly, wanting to command the Qing army to move forward bravely.
But there is nothing to be done, the firepower of the Ming army is too strong!
The two sides fought for a maximum of two quarters of an hour, and one-tenth of the Qing's warships were sunk.
Countless soldiers were killed and wounded!
The entire sea was covered with the remains of Qing warships.
In fact, the navy of the Qing army could be considered quite tenacious if they could fight to this extent.
In less than two quarters of an hour, one-tenth of the entire fleet was sunk, and no one could fucking hold it back!
It can only be said that it is fortunate that the admiral Jin Shusheng sent money to his subordinates before the war between the two armies. The Qing navy was also very particular and had to work hard to receive money. Otherwise, the Qing army would have collapsed!
Zheng Chenggong looked at the extremely fierce battlefield and gave instructions.
"Send the order for the gunner to try using blooming bullets instead!"
Following Zheng Chenggong's order, the Ming army's artillery began to use explosive ammunition.
Boom! Boom!
The rhythm of the shelling remained unchanged, and shells were fired one after another at the Qing ships.
The shells hit the Qing army's ship hard and then penetrated into the cabin.
There was a loud bang!
The fuse of the bomb was burned, igniting the gunpowder in the bomb.
There was a loud bang!
Fire and gunpowder smoke filled the air, igniting the flammable materials on the Qing army's arson ship.
There was another bang, and fierce explosions and flames engulfed the arson boat.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of shelling continued one after another, and the shells were fired at the Qing ships as if they were free.
Regardless of whether it is a shell or a solid bullet, almost as long as it can hit the Qing army's ships, there is no chance that the Qing army's ships will be spared.
Some gunners even started using shotgun shells!
Shotguns can't hit ships, but they can kill Qing soldiers on a large scale.
There was a muffled bang, and dense pellets sprayed out from the muzzle, as if for free, shooting towards the Qing soldiers on the deck.
In an instant, a large area of the Qing troops on the deck was swept away by shotguns!
Screams and wails sounded one after another!
Jin Shusheng looked at the extremely tragic battlefield, feeling the constant shaking of the ship under his feet, and the expression on his face was twisted together.
He is not willing to give in, really not willing to give in!
"Come on!"
"Come for me, Admiral!"
"Light the fire boat, light the fire boat, burn those damn Ming thieves!"
"..."
Finally, a fire ship cut off the pole holding up the hull to prevent the arson ship from approaching, and rammed into the Ming army's ship.
With a bang, flames shot into the sky!
The Ming army's ships were affected, but before the fire had time to spread, the arson ship was sunk by the Ming army's heavy artillery fire.
The soldiers and sailors of the Ming army rushed forward desperately, braving the rain of arrows from the Qing army, and put out the fire that had just spread!
The smile on Jin Shusheng's face completely disappeared before it could bloom.
He is almost desperate!
The heavy artillery of the Ming army is still roaring!
The battlefield is filled with smoke!
One by one, the Qing warships disappeared in the thick fire!
Jin Shusheng continued to command the Qing army to launch an offensive!
But it is a pity that the Qing army's successors were obviously weak, and the attack became weak.
Or it can also be said that those who were not afraid of death and rushed to the front were all dead, and the rest were afraid of death, so naturally they did not dare to charge.
Those arson ships were named one by one by the heavy artillery of the Ming army, and either sank or turned into balls of fire!
Burnt corpses were scattered on the sea!
Some Qing warships had even raised white flags, preparing to surrender to the Ming army.
They were also scared of being beaten!
The morale of the Ming army is booming!
Zhu Hongyu and Zheng Chenggong stood together, looking at the battle on the sea, with smiles on their faces.
"With this great victory in the naval battle, Qiongzhou is within easy reach!"
"Lao Taishan has made great achievements!"
Zheng Chenggong said with a smile on his face.
"It all depends on the leadership of His Royal Highness, the Supervisor, and I don't dare to take the credit!"
Zhu Hongyu said with a loud smile.
"Haha, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Qiongzhou. If we can digest them all, it will not be a problem to pull out a hundred thousand troops!"
"At that time, we will have the qualifications to get involved in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian!"
Zheng Chenggong also spoke.
"Now the anti-Qing situation is in full swing on the mainland. Uprisings continue along the southeastern coast. The Qing army is struggling to cope. This may be our opportunity!"
