528 Blowing up the Sinking Wind

What happened on the sea was so dramatic, Niu Duofu thought that there were two ordinary pirate ships opposite, but when they got closer, they found that the two ships were very unique in style and that they were all foreigners.

The Lyra and the Roma thought it was a nosy merchant ship, but when they got closer, they realized that it was full of loaded sailors.

Between the two ships, the identity of friend and foe was completely revealed, and of course Ushitofu knew about the war in the Ryukyus, and he and his men also hoped to be able to join the front line.

However, the channel of the Chengfeng did not pass through the Ryukyus, but went directly north to supply from Kyushu, and more importantly, the Chengfeng had a more important mission, and the precious cargo of this ship must not be out of any way.

But I never thought that I couldn't hide from the war that should come, and sometimes I didn't force it, and the clippers had just arrived at the mouth of Bohai Sea when they encountered a French warship pretending to be a pirate.

"If these pirates weren't regulars, I'd give you the eyeballs out of my eyes...... When did pirates have the luxury of having two identical warships? Damn, European pirates in the Atlantic weren't so extravagant, were they?"

"Lao Tzu is also a person who has been abroad, and I can recognize the appearance of the French...... The brothers continued to fire, the group of pirates was pretended to be ...... by the French"

Niu Duofu's mind turned quickly, two frigates disguised as pirate ships, full of foreign faces, one by one fierce and accurate tactical movements, in addition to the fact that it has passed the Liaodong Peninsula and the waters of Jinzhou.

All the clues were gathered together, and Niu Duofu immediately came up with the answer: "I, these two French warships, want to sneak attack our special industrial zone, they are heading for Tanggu...... Full sails are speeding up, let's go report to the villagers......"

At this time, Captain Kraft on the Lyra also woke up from the shock of the attack, and he shouted, "The only person in Bohai Bay who can afford such a good clipper boat is Lotte Yangxing, this is Xiao Letian's ship, and it is also his soldier...... Catch up and kill them all..."

Captain Kraft pulled out his revolver, rushed to the bow of the ship, kicked them indiscriminately, and beat the soldiers next to the ama, "Damn it, if you didn't get these women and distract everyone, how could we suffer..."

"Get out, get to work at once, prepare the chain bombs, and attack the sails of the clippers......" The group of soldiers kicked the captain with their bare butts and ran down to work.

And the three ama tied to the cable, now covered in blood, are staring at Captain Kraft with hatred in their eyes: "The Buddha will let you go to hell...... The dragon king will devour your ......"

Kraft couldn't understand what the ama was saying, but he could feel the hatred, "Damn woman, you dare to scold me when we were attacked, go to hell......"

Three gunshots rang out, three snowflakes bloomed on the heart of the ama's eyebrows, and the anger in Captain Kraft's heart finally dissipated a little, "Come on, throw these three piles of stinky meat into the sea...... Charge at full speed and catch up with that damn clipper..."

The Lyra was the unluckiest of the attack, he was the first to be shot, and he was the one who was shot with a rifle in the same rainstorm as the clipper passed by, while the Roma was lucky enough to be shot in the sail.

The Roma was the first to adjust its stance, and the gun doors on the side were open ten, and the ten cannons were already loaded with primitive chain shells.

"Fire ......" An order was given in the cabin, and in the midst of a roaring explosion, ten swirling black shadows flew towards the Chengfeng.

Chain bullet, this is a very old naval weapon, the principle is very simple, two small lead balls are connected with iron chains, and stuffed into the gun chamber together.

When the force of the gunpowder explosion launches the two lead balls, the two lead balls will quickly form a force that rotates with each other, and flies towards the enemy ship like a meat grinder.

In the days of sailing ships, the mast was full of cables that held sails in place, and chain bullets could easily twist the cables together and break the sails.

Ten black shadows swirled towards the Wind, and by this time the experienced Captain Niu Duofu had already ordered the ship to zigzag forward to avoid the enemy's cannonball pursuit.

Seven out of ten shells fell into the sea, and only three points hit the sails, and the huge rotational force entwined dozens of cables, and the sound of ropes breaking suddenly jumped in mid-air.

Once the taut cable was cut off, the sudden burst of power made the cable whipped in the air like an iron whip, and a soldier who couldn't dodge was whipped in the chest by the cable snap, and people could see it clearly, and the soldier's chest suddenly sank down three inches like a clay sculpture.

Teng Teng Teng ...... The soldier took three steps backwards, and then began to vomit blood, and there were black lumps in the blood, which meant that his internal organs were all crushed.

"Be careful...... Beware of circumventing ...... Damn it... Brothers, who go up and fix the cable, and tie a first-class ...... for military merit," Niu Duofu yelled.

Xiao Letian's new army is so proud, if you want to say that they are not motivated to give a reward, but if you want to say that they have added military merits, this group of soldiers is all crazy.

What is military merit? Military merit is the cornerstone of being promoted, entering a military academy, and becoming a general in the future, military merit is the guarantee of future knighthood, military merit is even the life of future generations of children and grandchildren, and military merit can even be exchanged for shares of Lotte and foreign company when they are discharged from the army.

More importantly, military merit is the pride of a soldier, and when he walks in front of the prime minister, the prime minister has to pick a thumbs-up.

"Don't rob Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's sailing technique is the first ......" A group of sailors like monkeys climbed the mast, carefully dodged the flicking cable, and took the opportunity to grab the strength and use the old cable to start fixing on the mast.

However, they underestimated the meanness of the French, and just when most of the cables were already secured, the Lyra had already adjusted the angle of fire, and the angry Captain Kraft, with his deformed features, "loaded grapes" with his fingers on the Wind...... Blow up those sail pilots..."

Boom, boom, a fire on the sea, a dark cloud of grape projectiles rushed towards the Wind, and the unprepared sailman was suddenly beaten into a sieve.

"No......" Niu Duofu roared angrily, he never thought that this group of French devils could be so insidious, "Leave the sails alone, the left rudder is thirty, move forward in a big zigzag, and shake them off with speed...... As long as we return to Tanggu, victory will be ours..."

Grapeballs are the killer weapon in naval warfare, and this thing is actually a large shotshot, and a single salvo can form a dark cloud of tens of thousands of lead bullets to pounce on the enemy, which is extremely lethal to sailors on deck and mast.

The soldiers on the Chengfeng, all of them are the prime minister's treasures, and if they die, they can feel sorry for Xiao Letian, Niu Duofu would rather lose the boat than lose his life, what are you waiting for if you don't run at this time.

A chase battle of anger on the Bohai Sea suddenly took place, a clipper ship zigzag forward in the front, and the two frigates behind chased after each other, and whether there was an artillery salvo, no matter how accurate it was, it was quite scary to look at anyway.

All three ships had different sail damage, but in general the sail loss of the Chengfeng was greater, which can be seen from the speed of the ship, and the heavy frigate was able to run at the same speed as the clipper, which shows how much the sail loss of the Chengfeng was.

The Bohai Sea is not big, and it is not even necessary to set off from Tanggu to Jinzhou for a whole day, let alone run away now, and after twenty hours of pursuit, Chengfeng has seen the mouth of the Haihe River from afar, and also saw the fort at the mouth of Dagu.

"We're home, we're home...... Signal the flag to the Special Administrative Region and the Dagukou Fort...... The French called......"

At the same time, the crowd on the wharf of the Tanggu Special Industrial Zone also saw the clippers speeding from the east, and they recognized it at a glance with good eyesight, "It's Chengfeng...... Lotte & Co.'s Chengfeng No... Obediently, how did you get this, the sails are all broken, what flags do they send?"

"This is the Wind...... There are two French warships behind our ship disguised as pirate ships in an attempt to attack Tanggu, please be prepared for battle...... Please open fire immediately at the Dagukou Fort...... The French battleship has been killed......"

The sailors in the crowd began to translate the flag with binoculars, and after the translation of a flag was completed, Liu Lang, the commander of the defending army, also ran over with Tietoutuo.

"Oh no, the Wind doesn't know we're at war here...... Send a flag to Niu Duofu and let the Chengfeng flee north...... Dodge the Dagukou Fort..."

Liu Lang's reminder woke everyone up like a bolt of lightning, and the crowd on the dock shouted and waved their hands "Retreat north...... Dodge the Dagukou Fort...... The demons are crazy......"

Dagukou Fort, was built in the Ming Dynasty Chengzu period, in the Daoguang and Xianfeng years of special purpose expansion, there are more than 60 artillery pieces at present, the defenders are close to 10,000 people.

At the beginning, when Mailer attacked the SAR, he also thought about mobilizing the artillery at Dagukou to bombard the SAR, but when he saw the fort on the spot, he was dumbfounded. These more than sixty guns are the oldest cast-iron redcoat cannons, and the muzzles can only be adjusted at a limited angle to the sea.

Dagukou is on the south bank of the Haihe River, and the Special Zone is built on the north bank of the Haihe River, unless these bulky artillery pieces can adjust the angle of 90 degrees, and then the muzzle of the guns rushes to the north, they really can't help Liu Lang and them.

In desperation, Mailer could only use the Queen Mother's special order to mobilize more than 3,000 people from the defenders of Dagukou Fort to supplement his command, and he also knew that this group of defenders was so close to Lotte Foreign Bank, it was estimated that they had already been fed with silver by Xiao Letian, and it was impossible for them to attack the Special Industrial Zone sincerely.

Without doing anything, Mailer began to mix sand into the personnel of the Dagukou Fort, and stuffed his own hardcore descendants into it. I didn't expect that these descendants would play a big role today.

"Damn, what are the boats on the sea for......? Come and translate for you......"

When Mailer's cronies heard that it was actually Xiao Letian's merchant ship, and that it was the French ancestor who was chasing behind, his eyes turned red, "Good girl, the opportunity for meritorious promotion and fortune has arrived...... Small, load the shells and sink the ship...... Oh yes, the Wind ......."

"Open the cannon, blow up the ...... of the Sinking Wind"
