Chapter 182 Battle of Daya Bay
After so many years of operation, the navy has already improved the light language system of simple signal lights used in the start-up period. Now the light language they have compiled is quite perfect and can convey quite complex information.
And the signal lights made by craftsmen are much more complete and sophisticated than before. Several fixed signal lights are installed on each ship, which can send signals in all directions.
The flagship of the one-eyed dragon is equipped with many such signal lights, with a group of high-quality signal light hands to deliver orders for him.
Therefore, even at night, the sea wolf fleet has a better and more convenient way to deliver information than other fleets, and can accurately allow more ships to get the instructions issued by the flagship.
Under the order of the one-eyed dragon, the fleet began to move again. Now that this has happened, there is no need to hide it. Each ship has raised lanterns and marked their location.
This fleet quickly moved towards the open waters. Before the main pirate fleet arrives, they must enter the open waters to give full play to their firepower advantages.
This battle is not easy for the sea wolf, because the enemy will definitely come to many ships this time. If you are not careful, anything may happen. Therefore, all the captains are wide-eyed and pay attention to the instructions issued by the flagship at any time. According to the instructions of the flagship, no Adjust the formation of the fleet.
When the sea antenna in the east began to gradually turn white, the sea surface once again ushered in light, making the dark sea begin to become much more visibility.
At this time, on the sea in the southwest direction of the sea wolf, you can gradually see hundreds of ships, large and small, and in Daya Bay, the fire boats are still burning, and many fire boats have been completely burned down, leaving only some wreckage, still drifting on the sea. Thick smoke was coming out.
There are a small number of corpses in the sea that fall with the sea wolves. These bodies are from some unlucky fireships. After lighting the fireboat and jumping into the sea, they could not swim back to the shore and were drowned in the sea. Of course, there are also some guys holding some broken boards floating on the sea, calling for help from time to time.
When the light continued to light up, Liu Xiang also saw the sea wolf's fleet and appeared in a wide water at the mouth of Daya Bay. When he looked at the original sea wolf anchorage, Liu Xiang almost tilted his nose. At the original sea wolf's anchorage, there are only a few smoking fire boats now. The sea wolf's warship didn't see it.
At this time, he has realized that the fireboat sneak attack plan they formulated has completely failed and has not caused any damage to the sea wolf fleet at all. Instead, they have lost a large number of ships in vain. This result is really discouraging.
But at this time, he wanted to retreat, but it was too late. So many of them rushed into Daya Bay, and it was impossible for him to retreat in a short time.
At this time, the sea wolf's fleet has taken the initiative to sail to the open waters of the mouth of the bay. It is impossible to block them in Daya Bay.
Now they can't leave if they want to. Even if they want to leave, Yu Xiaotian will definitely not let them go, so then they can only consider whether to leave or leave.
So Liu Xiang could only gritt his teeth and order, all of them, and began to rush to the sea wolf's fleet. Next, there will be a fierce scuffle. Whoever dies depends on today.
When the sun jumped above the sea level, there began to make a loud roar in Daya Bay. At this time, a naval gun began to spit out flames, hitting the fierce shells on their enemy's warships...
In Daya Bay, the sound of gunfire lasted for a whole day. It was not until it darkened again that the sound of gunfire gradually calmed down.
At this time, looking at the originally peaceful and beautiful Daya Bay, it has become a mess. On the sea inside and outside of Daya Bay, there are scattered things, including semi-sinking ships, burning warships, countless hull fragments and debris from the ship, and a large amount of floating in the water. Bodies and living people on the surface.
This is definitely the most tragic sea battle that has occurred along the coast of Daming in many years. Nearly 1,000 warships have been put into the two sides, and more than 30,000 people participated in the war. It can be said that half of the pirates along the coast of Guangdong have been involved in this war.
But the result did not let Liu Xiang get what he wanted. In this fierce battle, the Pirate Alliance finally ended in failure. Even Liu Xiang, as the leader of the alliance, was bombarded by cannons on a sea wolf warship only two hours after the start of the war. His ship was also bombarded into scum on the spot, and more than 100 people on the ship Only a dozen people survived in the end, and the rest were either killed on the spot or drowned in the sea.
In the face of the super firepower of the sea wolf, the pirates have announced their collapse two hours after the start of the war. The reason why the fierce battle reached the evening is that the sea wolf divided into several teams in the following battle, intercepted the pirates' ships and blocked them back to Daya Bay.
The pirates have been trying their best to break through the siege all afternoon, but only a small number of the pirate ships finally escaped, and more than half of the pirate ships were blocked by sea wolves in Daya Bay.
Seeing that they could not escape or beat them, some pirates finally broke down and chose to stop the ship to surrender. These pirates were rushed to Da Lajia Island by the sea wolf fleet and were under centralized control.
However, all pirate ships that refused to surrender after being blocked were almost sunk and destroyed by the sea wolf fleet, and a large number of pirates were killed and injured.
Among them, the pirates of Liu Xiang's headquarters suffered the worst losses, because they were the main force and, of course, were the key targets of the sea wolf fleet, but there were also many large pirates. After this war, nearly half of the pirate leaders were either killed on the spot or captured alive.
Finally, after the inventory, only six large stock shopkeepers, including Zheng Yiguan, were able to escape in the fierce battle, but they also lost a lot.
Because sea wolves have many fast-shaped fastships, these fast ships play an extremely important role in the pursuit. Like a vicious wolf, they constantly catch up with the fleeing enemy ships, waiting for the opportunity to bite hard and always drag these pirate ships, making them unable to escape smoothly.
Some large warships of sea wolves play an extremely important role in this battle. They give full play to the firepower advantages of each ship and use melee tactics to intensively bombard the pirate fleet. Often when the side of a ship is fully open, there will be a A pirate's warship disintegrates in response, and even if it disintegrates on the spot, it will be bombarded and unable to fight again.
Moreover, there are many kinds of artillery shells of the Sea Wolf Fleet. After the dispatch of the gun commander on the ship, they have made full use of the advantages of these types of bullets. Solid bullets are far away, grape bullets are close to hit, chain bullets specialize in masts and sails, and scattered bombs are responsible for cleaning up the enemy ship decks. The pirates are unspeakably bitter.
There are also some large-caliber Karon guns, which are very powerful. They can smash a pirate ship on the spot. At worst, they can also recymble it on the spot. Sometimes * is used on the ship. This * is actually a red-hot solid bullet. When it hits the enemy ship with a gun, it uses a high elevation angle to hang it, as long as it hits the enemy. The heavy shells of the ship will immediately smash through the deck. After the burning red shells fall into the enemy ship, they will burn through layers of deck until the ship is completely chiseled through. As soon as the bottom of the ship enters the water, the ship will basically be sentenced to death.
Therefore, the sea wolf always has an absolute firepower advantage in the naval battle. The pirate alliance is a fart and the technical generation difference, which makes the pirates fully realize the horror of the sea wolf fleet, and also caused their rapid collapse. From the initial alliance state, they quickly dispersed as birds and beasts and began to fight hard. The escape from the battlefield made the sea wolf fleet fierce.
But for the sea wolf, this battle is not easy. In the initial stage of the battle, the Pirate Alliance still exerted its strong combat power. Relying on the advantage of the number of ships, they flocked to the sea wolf's fleet. Although they were knocked overturned by the sea wolf's dense artillery fire, there were still many pirates. The ship broke through the fire blockade and rushed into the sea wolf's fleet.
In the initial stage, the pirates still worked hard in order to survive. After many pirate ships rushed into the sea wolf's fleet, they fired fire and fired at the sea wolf's warships nearby, and the rockets were splashed on the sea wolf's warships for free. Some pirate ships even rushed directly to the sea wolf's warships and posted The sea wolf's warship directly launched a white-edged battle.
In a word, in the initial stage of the battle, the sea wolf's fleet also suffered relatively heavy losses. More than 20 ships were burned by enemy points or surrounded by the enemy, killing all the soldiers on the ship.
This also led to the most serious losses in the sea wolf's previous naval battles. According to subsequent statistics, the naval generals of the sea wolf suffered more than 700 casualties and more than 20 warships that were completely damaged, accounting for almost one-tenth of their total strength.
However, such losses are nothing compared with the losses of the pirate alliance. According to incomplete statistics after the war, the number of pirate ships burned by themselves is not counted in this battle. The number of pirate ships alone is nearly 200. In addition, more than 200 pirate warships have been captured. The number of pirates killed and drowned pirates cannot be counted, but the number of pirates captured alive is as high as more than 4,000.
It can be said that after this battle, several large pirates in Guangdong have almost been disabled, and many pirates, even if they are destroyed, so this battle has basically laid the foundation for Yu Xiaotian's next victory.
