Liu Wenbing was also laughing wildly: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect, those English savages are really good enough. I haven't wiped the shit off my ass, and now they dare to arrest my Ming people? This is simply sitting at home. The pie is falling from the sky!"

Two daring guys, none of them cared about the small size of the Suez Canal Squadron—there were only six warships at the main station, four supply ships, three supply ships full of weapons and ammunition, and one full of various weapons and ammunition. A supply ship for food and daily supplies.

Compared with the whole fleet of Ming Dynasty, the sub-fleet is really not enough, because a whole fleet has 24 main warships, twelve weapons and ammunition supply ships, and six material supply ships.

In such a comparison, the Suez Canal Squadron looks like a child, but Liu Wenbing and Jiang Haijun are not worried at all.

England barbarian?

Judging from the latest intelligence, this barbarian country is a little big, and the navy has been taught how to behave in several confrontations with the South China Sea Fleet.

What's more, even his weapons and ammunition were purchased from Daming through the East India Company, and now he has become so courageous?The Suez Canal Squadron can block all the outlets of this barbarian country, preventing them from sailing into the sea!

With Xin Lehou Liu Wenbing, the leader of the Suez Canal Fleet, on board, it was really easy for the squadron to pass through the Suez Canal, and even the necessary inspections were omitted-in fact, no one dared to check.

First of all, the people of Daming will definitely not check their own fleet, even if the fleet is going out to kill people this time, then let the killers of the fleet do it, what do they care about so much?

Even the civil servants who didn't deal with Xinlehou Liu Wenbing very much would not care about the fact that the squadron went out to harass people, because if the squadron won the battle, these civil servants themselves could gain some military merit.

The Ottoman inspectors were even less bothered to investigate—the situation of their own family was clear to them. The only few warships in the navy were purchased from the Ming Empire, and all the personnel were trained by the Ming Empire. I'm really worried that Liu Wenbing will drag the Ottoman Navy into the water in the name of military training.

It would be a great thing for these Ming people not to bring the Ottoman navy to go out with them, so why should they jump out to make trouble at this time?

After just a few days of sailing, the Canal Squadron arrived at the port of Southampton and successfully joined forces with the East India Company fleet sent by Cohen.

As soon as he saw Liu Xiaoyao, Liu Wenbing patted Liu Xiaoyao on the shoulder and said, "It was a family 500 years ago, brother! This time, it's a good thing, you can get brother, brother is very kind!"

Liu Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Your Majesty is too polite. Those English barbarians dared to arrest my businessman from Ming Dynasty for ransom. They really don't know how to live or die!"

Liu Wenbing said: "Don't worry, the current Daming is not the previous Daming, the people of Daming were bullied overseas, and several fleets of Daming came to seek justice for them.

If these fleets can't do it, His Majesty will personally come to ask for an explanation for them. In short, they won't let them suffer in vain.By the way, what happened to the person who was arrested?Have you been punished? "

Liu Xiaoyao said: "The Jin Yiwei lurking at the barbarians in England is not that capable yet, so I'm not sure if these people will be punished.

However, sixteen days have passed since the news spread to the time when Lord Hou led the fleet to arrive. Now it is really hard to say whether these people have been punished. "

Liu Wenbing sneered, and said, "Pass down the Marquis' general order, aim at the barbarian's port in South Cape Town, and fire three rounds of live ammunition rapidly!"

Liu Wenbing's general order was quickly carried out, and the shells with flames were shot out of the barrel, dragging a long flame as if they had a tail, and roared towards the port.

England has a navy, and it's not weak.

Of course, this strength is not weak only in relative terms-compared with other European countries, even compared with the Netherlands, the number one maritime power in Europe at that time, it cannot be considered weak.

But compared with Ming's fleet, even compared with the Canal Squadron, which is several times smaller than the whole fleet, it is not enough. At least, there is no one in England that can match the treasure ship. Comparable battleship!

As early as when the Canal Squadron fired its first round of shells, England's navy planned to counterattack, at least to force the Canal Squadron back, because after so many rounds of shelling, the entire port of South Cape Town would be finished!

But in many cases, courage and determination are useless, especially when there is a gap in weapons.

As soon as the English navy was discovered, the Canal Squadron separated two warships and faced the England fleet, while the remaining four warships were still carrying out Liu Wenbing's order and continued to attack the South Cape Town port. To shell.

Gerald Nimitz's eye sockets were almost cracked - no one wants to see this scene, allowing the enemy to bombard the port of his own country, but his side can only launch a desperate charge .

What made Nimitz the most unacceptable was that the fleet of the Ming Empire on the opposite side had only separated two warships to face his own fleet of more than ten warships!

Chapter 771 This life is worth it!

Gerald Nimitz's eye sockets were about to burst, and he shouted angrily: "Rush up! Get rid of those two battleships!"

As soon as Nimitz finished yelling, he felt his eyes light up, and then he didn't know anything—I don't know which shell was so powerful, and it directly tore Nimitz into several pieces.

After losing the commander, the flagship of the English Navy was quickly sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, and the English Navy, which lost its flagship, suddenly became a mess. sent to the bottom of the ocean.

The officers and soldiers of the Suez Canal Squadron carried out Liu Wenbing's order very well, saying that three rounds of rapid fire were three rounds, and they did not even fire one more round of shells.

But it was these three rounds of rapid fire that caused the entire port of South Cape Town to catch fire, and it quickly became ablaze. With a telescope, you can only see a large number of barbarians running back and forth to fight the fire.

Touching the beard on his chin, Liu Wenbing pondered and said, "Isn't this Marquis a bit too cruel?"

Liu Xiaoyao said, "Cruel? No."

Liu Wenbing said with an oh: "Since it's not too cruel, let's be a little more cruel!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Wenbing ordered: "Pass down the general's order from Ben Hou, and ten rounds of covering bombardment will be launched in a quarter of an hour!"

Liu Wenbing felt that a quarter of an hour would be enough—it is estimated that more barbarians would come to put out the fire, and after ten rounds of shelling, the port of South Cape Town would be completely useless, and the barbarians would die even more. a bit more.

Even now, Liu Wenbing can't forget why he was tricked to Osman's side in the first place.

At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen vowed to himself that after the Suez Canal was built, the barbarians of England would be killed, and the whole of England would be classified as a British territory. Divided...

However, to Liu Wenbing's disappointment, the Suez Canal has been dug and opened to navigation for three years, but the Ming navy has not moved for a long time, and has never come to Europe to kill the English barbarians.

The news from Daming made Liu Wenbing even more sad—the past two years have passed, it’s okay if the major fleets of the Ming Navy haven’t expanded in size, and it’s okay if they don’t even have a new warship launched, but it’s already gone. Aging warships are also not repaired and maintained?

Full of worries, Liu Wenbing simply wrote a letter to Emperor Chongzhen, asking about the fleet, and all he got was a few words of comfort other than a reprimand, and nothing else.

Those who hear it are sad, and those who see it cry.

If the English barbarians are not killed, the British public land will not be implemented, and the British public fief is not implemented, and a mere new Lehou fief still wants to implement it?

It's all right now, these English barbarians killed themselves, it is a good thing for me to kill multiple birds with one stone.

First of all, the three Ming people who were rescued and arrested, did I win the honor of the nobles?Those civil servants used to gossip, what else can they say now?

In fact, if he brought back the fiefdom of the British public, wouldn't the man surnamed Zhang thank Ben Hou?The Duke of the past, the Duke who is most valued by today's world, this favor is not small.

Apart from these two reasons, I can still have a good time - I'm stuck in Ottoman's shabby place, my whole body is growing hairy, and now I finally have a chance to come out, isn't it good? Isn't Lang Yilang sorry for the suffering he has suffered in the past few years?

A quarter of an hour is very slow. For Liu Wenbing, whose mind is full of siege and looting, a quarter of an hour is as long as a hundred years.

A quarter of an hour passed very quickly. For the British who were busy fighting the fire, the fire in the port had not been extinguished much, and the terrible fleet launched another bombardment.

Ten rounds of rapid fire and three rounds of rapid fire are completely different concepts-if three rounds of rapid fire is just an appetizer before dinner, then ten rounds of rapid fire is the real gunfire.

Under the intentional or unintentional guidance of Emperor Chongzhen, the military development of the Ming Empire began to deviate without a bottom line. The entire army believed that firepower is justice, and no matter the range or caliber, they all served justice.

It is better for the army, with large caliber, fierce firepower, wide coverage, easy to use and easy to replace. The overall principle is more similar to the silly big black thick standard of Mao Xiong's family in later generations.

But the artillery used by the navy is still very different from the artillery used by the army.

Because the navy's ammunition supply and the army's ammunition supply are completely two concepts, even if there are a few more supply ships, they are just like a bird, and they often fail to fire after dozens of guns are fired. land.

Therefore, the navy's artillery must be in line with the eagle sauce standard of later generations-firepower and accuracy must find a balance point, so as not to cause waste of firepower.

What is the saying in later generations?The biggest cent is the bunny itself?Especially after the Gulf War, the rabbit who was shocked by the high-tech style of play began to learn from Yingjiang.
