I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The two sides continued to shoot each other, and the Spain in the distance had goosebumps.

This Dahua is a ruthless man, he can't be offended, he can't be offended.

Many Spanish soldiers raised a little admiration for the Dahua Navy. After all, these days, there are not many fleets that dare to be tough with coastal defense artillery.

How distressed it would be if a warship was blown up and sunk.

However, what made them even more astonished was that in this pair of shots, it was the Portuguese who couldn't hold on first.

After losing nearly 30% of their artillery, they collapsed one after another.

Just kidding, how to fight this battle, when the shells come, there is absolutely no means of defense, and you can only wait to die.

They seldom fought hard battles, they simply couldn't bear this casualty rate and fled quickly.

Palic didn't stop him either, because he was also distressed.

Those were professional gunners, not cheap infantry.

Every time one dies, he feels a pain in the flesh.

In previous artillery battles, the speed at which artillerymen died in battle was far lower than this time.

This time, Paric really wanted to cry without tears.

"Quick, everyone retreats to Lingbao and waits for support."

Paric continued to order.

Ceuta, a small port city far away from the mainland of Portugal, but the Portuguese were able to occupy it, leaving Morocco, Spain and other countries helpless. It must have its own uniqueness and cannot be captured so easily.

When the fleet and coastal defense artillery failed, Paric and the others retreated to the castle.

This kind of Lingbao is purely a military fortress, and its defensive power is comparable to the city of Dahua.

Even, in some respects, even slightly better.

The wall of the castle is not straight, but has multiple protruding parts, so that when the enemy is attacking, they do not attack dead ends.

This shape of the city wall is actually more conducive to defense.

Of course, the technology and cost are higher.

The thickness of its city walls is also quite amazing, and it is not realistic to want to bombard it with cannons.

Before the advent of armor-piercing shells and large-caliber artillery, the only way was to rely on human life to fill and consume.

It is precisely because of its strong defensive capabilities that this kind of castle is currently very popular and is the first choice for Western European countries to establish strongholds overseas.

There is a diamond castle, with enough guns and ammunition, plus one or two thousand garrison, it is almost impossible to solve.

Even if there are tens of thousands of natives, there is nothing to do with this kind of castle.

When Hua Jun came ashore, Bao Shun'an's scalp was numb when he saw that Lingbao.

He was transferred from the army chief of staff to the navy, and he has considerable experience in sieging cities and conquering cities.

He didn't even need to try that kind of Lingbao. Just by looking at it, he knew that this thing was a military fortress.

They don't dare to consume human lives, after all, they are now a lonely army without any backup. One of its soldiers died, one less.

They fight, and their primary concern is not to destroy the enemy, but to preserve themselves.

Now what?

Bao Shunan had a headache.

The enemy in this castle is definitely not allowed to be left alone. If you don't capture this Lingbao, you will not feel at ease at night, and you must always be on guard against their sneak attacks.

Bao Shunan was not feeling well, and Palic in Lingbao was even more uncomfortable.

This time, their Portuguese face was completely lost.

A military fortress was defeated so easily and the enemy successfully landed. It was a shame.

This time, no matter what happened after the war, his position as governor would definitely not be preserved.

"Everyone said, what should we do next? A strong attack is definitely not acceptable. Our soldiers can't afford to die."

Bao Shun'an first set the tone and did not attack.

If you can't attack, you can only outsmart it, and everyone used their brains.

However, in the face of such a new thing as Lingbao, it is really difficult for them to come up with a solution without knowing it.

In desperation, Bao Shunan could only look at Ellis, hoping that this European expert could provide some ideas.

"With our current ability, I'm afraid we can't beat this castle. In the past, the Dutch seized the Portuguese stronghold in Malacca, and in order to break through the castle that only 2,000 people garrisoned, more than 3,000 people died without shaking it.

In the end, after being besieged for half a year, the Portuguese inside ran out of food and other supplies, which forced them to surrender helplessly. "

Ellis is also very helpless. At the moment, Lingbao is indeed a big hedgehog, and there is no way to speak.

"I would suggest negotiating. We can't afford losses, and the Portuguese certainly don't want to suffer any more. Maybe we can negotiate with them and give them back their ships and artillery in exchange for Ceuta. ."

Ellis suggested.

Unlike Dahua, who likes to live and die and must insist on the unification of the world, Western Europeans like to negotiate.

Because the size of their country is relatively small, if they really fight to the death, it is easy to destroy the country and the family.

Neither party can afford such a loss.

Dahua was in a turmoil, and tens of millions of people died, but they were still alive and kicking.

In the countries of Western Europe, if millions of people die, the country will be completely wiped out.

Therefore, in many cases, Western European countries clearly hate each other, but they also have to sit at the negotiating table.

and

Moreover, the winning side is often willing to negotiate, and it will be accepted as soon as it is good.

Because they continue to fight, they cannot afford the losses.

On the other hand, this is an unspoken rule that everyone has agreed upon, and everyone abides by it. In the future, if you can't fight, you can surrender, which is regarded as a way out.

This has been their tradition for a long time.

Throughout the history of war in Europe, it is almost always like this, often a country loses a battle and then surrenders.

Then the victorious country sees a good deal less, and does not rush to kill them all.

After a period of time, the defeated country will regain its vitality, or maybe it will beat the original victorious country, and then the victorious country will surrender cleanly.

The most typical one is between Germany and France.

The two countries have been at war with each other for hundreds of years, and the number of times they have surrendered to each other is hard to count.

France even won a slog because no army could capture Paris before France surrendered.

This means that as long as France has a big defeat on the front line, it will surrender very simply, and will not give the enemy a chance to attack Paris at all.

During World War II, there were still one or two million troops on the French front, and they dared to surrender directly in the rear.

This kind of thing is absolutely impossible in Dahua.

But in Western Europe it is very common.

What's even more outrageous is that after the surrender, the party can often get along well with the other party.

It is precisely because of its various factors that Dahua likes reunification and Western Europe likes negotiation.

As long as it can be negotiated, a place with tens of thousands of people can become a country.

In Bao Shun'an's view, he took the initiative to attack Portugal unreasonably. At this time, Portugal probably hated him to death, and he would definitely cry to the end to fight to the death.

However, Elios, who is familiar with Western Europe, said that as long as he is willing to talk, he can come up with a plan that both sides can accept. The Portuguese will not take the previous battle to heart.
