402 Water Ghosts!

The water ghost of Kunigami Village made a name for himself in this battle, this warrior armed with a harpoon, like a sea god possessed, slaughtered all sides under the ship, and the two-foot-long harpoon made the god unstunning, and three sailors were stabbed to death in the sea in just one shot.

Corpses floated up one after another, and the people on deck watched as the blood spread in the sea, corpses appeared in front of them, and even traces of sharks swimming in the distance.

"Hurry, hurry...... What are you looking at, jump down quickly...... "The captain of the fast-paced is going crazy now, he can guess with his heels what these Chinese want to do, there is no second option except to tie up explosives."

Although the captain did not know how these Chinese were going to light the fire, Europe already had a very primitive trigger device at this time, and God knows if Xiao Lotian imported some.

"Whatever the conspiracy of these Chinese, you have to eliminate the hidden dangers...... Keep jumping, surround it..."

The sides of the Swift Walker were like dumplings, and the French sailors crackled down, and even the Wave Breaker couldn't sit still, although they couldn't figure out the situation, but they also knew that the situation was urgent, and many sailors were launched at this time.

After stabbing the sixth sailor to death, the dying French sailor clenched the harpoon, and the exhausted Kunigami village water ghost could no longer be retrieved.

The dagger in the hand of the soldier swimming next to him flashed, and it stabbed him in the back of the heart, and the nameless fisherman's whole body arched forward, and his mouth opened wide as if he was screaming.

Blood spurted from the wound and mouth, and at the last moment before he died, he turned his head to look at his brother, and there was no fear of death in his eyes, it was actually relief and encouragement.

Tears are salty, and dissolved in the sea is also salty, and the living water ghosts at that moment feel that this sea is their tears. He stopped nailing it, letting go and letting the hammer sink to the bottom of the sea, while his right hand clutched the leash of the flintlock device, and he actually showed a sneer as he looked at the French sailors who surrounded him.

"Brother, don't go too far, brother, I'll go on the road with you... Brother, I've avenged you..."The right hand suddenly exerted force, and the leash was suddenly pulled out of the wax seal, and at that moment, the flint rubbed out a spark.

Before the seawater could pour through the cracks, the explosion was irreversible.

At that moment, there was a sudden rumbling bang on the sea, and the entire hull of the Swift Walker was blown out of the water, and the white waves rose into the sky, and the entire battlefield was in shock.

All the French were stupid, they turned their heads to look at the Quickwalker that had been blown in two, and at that moment people forgot about the killing, and forgot that it was now the battlefield.

The flames of the explosion ignited the powder magazine of the fastwalkers, and a chain reaction took place in mid-air, boom boom...... A series of explosions caused the entire sea to rise like a sun.

In the distance, the shark preparing to feed was frightened, and it didn't know where it had got, and all the corpses and splinters of the ship's planks fell in mid-air.

The current wave breaker has gone crazy, and the distance of fifty meters is not far away, but it is not close. Although the force of the explosion could not destroy his hull structure, fifty meters was the distance where the shock wave raged, and countless sails just caught the power of the shock wave.

In everyone's sight, the Wave Breaker seemed to be pressed down by the sea god with an invisible hand, and the entire hull of the ship was almost at a forty-five degree angle and was about to capsize into the sea.

Fortunately, the power of the shock wave was only one, and when the main shock wave swept across the sea, the Wave Crusher jumped up from the sea like a loose spring, and smashed back into the sea.

It was this shock wave that saved the life of the Wave Crusher, and the two water ghosts just wanted to pull the tow rope, when suddenly the shock wave from the sea hit, and they and the surrounding sailors were stunned, and the weak one was stunned on the spot.

Of course, being in a coma in the sea is a death, and the two water ghosts in Guotou Village also lost the hammer at this time, they wanted to hold down the explosive bag with both hands, and then pull the tow rope, anyway, they didn't want to go back alive, so let's die together.

However, when they looked up, they found that the wooden strips that held the flintlock device had fallen off in the tremor, and the seawater had seeped into the flintlock device, and the explosive bag could no longer be lit.

The two water ghosts angrily smashed the planks of the boat, drew the harpoons on their waists, and counterattacked the French sailors who surrounded them.

Now the Beishan trench has become a sea of cheers, and everyone on the battlefield jumped up and waved their middle fingers at the sea, "I cāo...... I cāo...... I cāo......"

This is the national scolding that Xiao Lotian taught the new army, and then the new army taught the people of the Ryukyus, and now the people have given this middle finger to the French, and the evil spirit of the slaughter of the city is finally out now.

"Retreat...... Everyone retreats to the trenches..."At the critical moment, Chu Zhao was still able to keep calm, he knew that the French would soon wake up from their stunned, and the angry French would definitely launch a retaliatory charge at that time.

"Hurry up, stop cheering, go back to the trenches...", the soldiers dragged and dragged the young men of the militia to retreat, and at the same moment, the French commander finally came to his senses from the shock, and he angrily gave the order to the marines.

"Charge, avenge the Quickwalker... Damned barbarians, how dare you sneak up on our French fleet......"

"Kill—" The battlefield was filled with the angry roars of the French, who opened fire and rushed up the hillside, countless retreating militia youths were knocked down, and the sound of counter-attack gunfire rang out from the trenches.

Jin Sanshun and Lin Zhen are now excited to find the north, they are the first to mention the yì system zuò soil mine, and now they can achieve such a big result, they are excited enough to think about it.

"Shoot...... Kill these big noses...... Spencer fired, don't forget that this is a weapon donated by our Kim family..."

"Shoot, everyone shoots, the method that I, Lin Zhen, came up with, really works, I say that if I can blow it up, I can sink it......"

"Lin Zhen, shut up, this attention is what I thought of first..."

"You fart, I thought of it first, and the flint device was also stolen from the real yàn room......"

", I smashed the glass in the real yàn room..."

These two living treasures were still in the mood to quarrel at this time, which brought a bit of a relaxed smile to the incomparably smashing battlefield.

When all the soldiers and militia men had jumped back into the trenches, the French charge was weakened, charging from low to high, and the defenders still had trenches, and their own side had lost artillery cover, this kind of suicidal attack was not what the French wanted.

Although the commanders and soldiers were furious, they still acted strictly according to the iron laws of the military, and after dropping a dozen corpses, they alternated shots, covered each other and retreated to the village of Kunigami.

The battle is over, the two sides enter the stage of licking their wounds, and the Quickwalker, which was blown in two on the sea, has slowly sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the corpses and debris spread on the sea are shocking to those who watch.

The Wave Breaker is also incapacitated now, just after the overturning force, all the guns and debris in the entire hull have been displaced, and many of the gunners have even been killed by the moving cannons.

On the deck and in the cabin, there were the wails of the wounded and the cries of the weak, and this state of chaos was impossible to protect oneself, let alone fighting.

If the Ryukyu Kingdom sent a group of navy at this time, even the most primitive kind of hand-to-hand sailors, as long as they were glued to fight a broadside battle, the warship would be captured by the state of these sailors.

Xiang Ying in the Beishan trench also saw the clue, he stood on the highest reef with a telescope, watching the Wave Crusher slowly spin on the sea, and he slapped his thigh in a hurry.

"Now how good it would be if we had a warship in our hands, how good it would be if we had a few hundred brave sailors in our hands, and if we rushed up to the bow of the ship, we would be able to capture it...... Damn, damn it..."

Just when Xiang Ying was patting his thigh urgently, suddenly from the west of the sea area, that is, on the left side of the trench, a melodious horn sounded, and the voice was so familiar that even the little beauty Cai Bixuan heard it.

"It's our navy... It was my father who trained the navy... They're finally here......"

Yes, the Ryukyu Kingdom did not have a navy, and in the past year, Xiao Lotian allocated countless funds to buy ten small clippers, and then asked American engineers to convert them into warships.

Xiao Lotian and Cai Mao never expected that these ten warships could be used on the battlefield, because these ten small clippers were not qualified even if they were merchant ships, and they were basically purchased at scrap prices.

Although it is not used in combat, it is still more abundant to be a training ship. Xiao Lotian knows that a navy is not created out of thin air, and it is not something that you can save by being willing to spend money to buy the best warships.

The navy has always been a game played by the elite, and a qualified sail operator should not think of leaving the division without three or four years of training, and there are also gunners, who should not want to go on a battleship and operate the artillery without firing six or seven hundred rounds of guns.

Captain, first mate, second officer, third officer, driver, pilot's assistant, steward, telegrapher, boatswain, first and second water, carpenter, cook, ...... You can't imagine that there are many types of technical jobs on the battleship.

If the ironclad enters the series in the future, there will be more technical positions at that time. Chief Engineer, Chief Engineer, Second Engineer, Third Engineer, Marine Assistant, Electrician, Chief Mechanic, Mechanic, Mechanic...... Even oilers and fitters have to be equipped.

Such a talent gap cannot be trained in a day, so these ten clippers have only one purpose, which is to train talents, and the more the better.

Of course, General Cai Mao knew very well how high the combat effectiveness of the training ships could be, so at the beginning of the war, he ordered the fleet to set off north and hide in the reef area in the northern seas.

Situated between the port of Naha and the village of Kunigami, this reef was a place for small ships to cruise, a sad place for heavy ships, and a place for French warships to retreat.

Sometimes the second generation of officials is still very useful, and if it weren't for Xiang Ying and Cai Bixuan at the most critical moment, no one would have been able to mobilize these ten warships at all.

During Xiang Ying's journey north, when they passed by the path of the Beishan cliff, it was Cai Bixuan, who had the sharpest eyes, who discovered the trace of the fleet, and it was at her request that three of the ten clippers came to support the Guotou sea area.

Who said that the second generation of officials were all gentlemen? In this battle to defend the Ryukyus, Xiang Ying and the second generation of officials made great contributions.

Note: It's been added, and it's been added to vomiting blood... It's not that I don't want to add more, but it's difficult to write historical topics, and I can't write too fast at all, which is unavoidable, and I hope book friends will understand.

In addition, Xinjing didn't have a new update before, but the reaction of book friends after adding a change is just like that, not to mention subscribing to rewards, and even commenting on it......

Alas...... Don't say anything, let's read a book.
