C3100 Empiricism's Wrong

In fact, according to experience, the naval fleet and the shore-based artillery generally had the advantage of the navy, because the navy naturally had the advantage in artillery bombardment.

The first point was that the battleship was floating on the water, and the cannons were placed on the boats. People didn't have to consider the long-distance movement of the cannons, so as long as the ship could maintain its weight and hull structure, the caliber of the cannons would be even larger.

As for the army, it was different. The field gun s had to consider mobility, the weight of the cannons was higher than the general assembly to increase the difficulty of movement.

When the caliber of the cannons varied, the large caliber cannons on the battleship would have the advantage. They could fire from far away from the range of the field gun, and if they casually hit you, you wouldn't be able to reach the battleship.

With different caliber, their firepower would naturally be different as well. The large caliber Cannons would naturally have an advantage!

Another thing was the flexibility of the battleship. They could run as they pleased, fire cannons as they pleased, and sail as they pleased to change their position.

field gun and warships were at a disadvantage, which was why the various countries were desperately building permanent naval defense cannons!

Of course, battleships suffered losses when battleships battling the Eternal Hardening Cannon. The Eternal Hardening Cannon had high defensive capabilities, its positioning was ingenious, and the cannon's firepower far surpassed the battleship's.

Although the firing rate was a bit slow, it was still very powerful! As long as the cannons hit the battleship, even if they didn't die, they would be crippled!

Therefore, in the history of naval battles, there were very few people who used field gun to fight against battleships, and of course, very few battleships relied solely on their own strength to fight the Eternal Harbour Defense Cannon.

In fact, the reason the Spaniard went into the array formation without any preparation was because she suffered from empiricism!

Before the liberation of the Brunei, it was just a small Sudan country that the Dutch colonists were trying to play with. Its internal system was a very ancient system where politics and religion merged together.

Science and technology do not exist here, economic development is very poor, 21st century Brunei surplus that is because of the rise of the oil industry.

The destitute Brunei obviously did not have those advanced, large-scale shore defense cannons to protect the city, and the Chinese had just taken over and did not have the time to construct the cannons yet.

This caused the Spaniard to be careless, all of their thoughts were focused on the Chinese battleships on the sea, they never thought that the Chinese would use field gun s to fight with the warships.

The errors of empiricism! They had not expected the Chinese to be so barbaric and unafraid of death, and had even forgotten that the night itself provided cover for the Chinese.

Furthermore, the sealed Brunei Bay restricted the movement of the warships. This cannon shot that defied empiricism actually caused a lot of casualties for the Spanish fleet.

The shelling only lasted for half an hour, and the three battleships had already burned all the sails. The entire ship had lost its ability to move, and the deck and hull were riddled with holes. Corpses could be seen everywhere.

The other battleships weren't in a good condition either. All of them were lightly injured, and the five battleships were desperately trying to extinguish the fire. The remaining battleships had already broken away from their formations and were rushing towards the sea.

"Hehe, can you really run away? Do you know, we Chinese have a saying! " Fang Dong suddenly said with killing intent: "How dare you drag the emperor down!"

"If we can bear to sacrifice our lives, don't even think about escaping!"

"Send the signal!" It's time for Wu Haoran to take action, where are our death warriors! "

Bang Bang Bang... Three fireworks shot up into the sky. From the western sea area of the Point of Peron, northwest of Brunei Bay, a light suddenly lit up. Those were the unique lights on the ships.

Twenty small steamships burst out of the darkness. They were very small and had a capacity of no more than forty tons. They were the most common inland water transports in Europe and the United States.

In the early years of the American Western Development, these small boats had made a huge contribution to economic development. Almost all the rivers could run, and pulling 30-40 tons of supplies at once was not a problem for them to run very fast.

This type of ship was small in tonnage, fast in speed, and cheap in price. The only downside was that it was originally designed for river navigation, so it was simply unable to adapt to the waves of the ocean.

However, these old steamers that were about to be eliminated appeared on the Brunei's seas today. They moved quickly along the coastal area with the smallest waves, and the sailors and sailors on the ships all had a determined look on their faces.

Wu Haoran stood on top of the largest steamboat, and on the front deck of the steamboat, there was a gigantic item with a diameter of over 70 centimeters.

The pure steel cylinder was at least five meters long, and was firmly nailed to the deck by rivets. The front of the cylinder was aimed straight ahead, and Wu Haoran held onto the cylinder's face, not saying a single word.

The weirdest thing was that there were three small ships at the front of the steamer fleet. These three steamers didn't have these cylinders, but had a long iron rod inserted directly into the sea.

It was unknown how long the iron rod was, but the part that was above the surface of the water was already over ten meters long. From the looks of it, it was at least four to five meters underwater!

The twenty steamships lined up horizontally as they headed towards the exit of Brunei Bay.

In front of them was the Spanish battleship that was firing off cannons. The huge hull of the ship made the soldiers on board look up at them, but there was no fear on their faces. Instead, there was a bloodthirsty madness.

On the first three ships, the captain and the sailors were going crazy. They were holding porcelain bottles in one hand and opening the cork with their jaws, and the knives from China were burning into their bellies like a line of fire.

Everyone's eyes were red. The captain shouted, "Ten big yellow fishes per person!" It was already in the hands of his wife and children! If you don't work hard at this time, Prince Hai will definitely not let us off! "

"Men who eat seafood …" "Unafraid of death …"

"Charge!"

On every ship, other than the civilian sailors, there were also naval soldiers holding the fort. Some of their young and tender faces showed that they were the ungraduated student soldier of the Naval Academy.

They did not drink strong alcohol, but they relied solely on discipline to suppress their fear!

"Don't be afraid! As long as we follow... According to previous training... We won't die! "

"At least... At the very least, the chances of him dying were much lower … "Listen to me, follow your training routine!"

Before he could finish his words, student soldier was lifted up by the unshaven captain. The old man who had been living on the sea for his entire life now had warmth in his eyes!

"Child... Can you swim? "If you can swim, then hurry up and run …" With that, he threw student soldier into the ocean.

"Ya Zi …" Swimming! Mazu bless you... "You will be a general in the future if you can't read or read. You don't need to die here!"

"Live on... "I've done a good job today!"

"Hurry up and charge!"

student soldier, who was thrown into the ocean, teared up. Before he could even scream, a wave had crashed into him, mixing together his words and tears.

When he looked up again, the ship was heading straight for the nearest Spanish warship!

The Spaniard cried out in fear as the cannons on the deck began to fire at the ships. Unfortunately, the ships all faced the side of the ship, and the cannons on the ship's bow alone were useless.

At the mouth of the sea in Brunei Bay, a group of sea lords, who didn't care for their lives, jumped straight towards the Spanish ship.

With a loud bang, the entire body of the Spanish Battleship trembled!
