vs 683 Who is the prey (1)
The pirate dhow was almost similar to the Southeast's cruisers, with nine guns on each side of the gun deck, eight 12-pounder guns on each side, one 18-pounder gun (compared to six 12-pounder guns and three 18-pounder guns on the Southeast Cruiser), and ten six-pounder guns on the open deck.
The firepower is slightly weaker than that of cruisers, after all, they cannot be too heavy, and the premise is to run fast.
However, the Corsair did not have a fixed bow gun, but actually made a hole in the bow of the ship, pushing two 18-pounder guns over and firing them.
The same is true for the cruisers of the Southeastern Province, with gun doors open in the front and rear, no fixed guns, and just push them over when needed.
Since it is a warship of its own design, the front and rear of the gun deck can easily disassemble the wooden planks and push the cannon to the gun door for battle.
The Brig had 30 guns, 22 12-pounder guns and 8 6-pounder guns.
As for the Yaksha 12 supply ship in the southeast province, it has only 12 6-pounder guns, and its gun deck is full of supplies.
So this battle is very risky, but escaping is not the true color of the Southeast Army, and Officer Hong Xu is waiting for the wind to change.
Life is not what you want to have, it has always been a good wind, if it is used for travel, it is a relatively cool thing, but it is used for fighting, and the Southeast Army is really a little unhappy.
Therefore, Hao Sizhong was chased and choked enough, and the supply ships under his command were powerless to fight back, so he constantly ordered the ships to move left and right to avoid.
Columns of water continued to explode to his left, right, and back, and splashed so much that he had to wear a waterproof jacket.
When the officer is really risky, he stands behind the stern, watching the other party's bow approach, constantly issuing orders, while his navigator is responsible for looking ahead.
As for the pirate ships with the bull's head flag and the sea eagle flag on the left and the right, respectively pursuing the Kaohsiung 72 ship (flagship) and Kaohsiung 78 ship (commander Yan Zhang), at first they recklessly bombarded both sides with bow guns, but what they didn't expect was a "boom" sound, and the stern of the 72 ships sent a cannon to smash the statue of the Virgin Mary on the bow mast of the bull's head flagship!
The slanted bow sail fell in response, not to mention that the pirates of the bull-headed flagship were stunned, and even the chief Dick was startled, staring closely at the Chinese ship No. 72.
The area of the pirates' psychological shadow has increased greatly!
Don't look at the pirates who are murderous and ruthless, but they believe in the gods more, pray for the blessing of the gods, and they lick the blood with their knives, and they are the most omenous.
They woke up to the fact that the other party was an army after all!
To deal with the army, pirates are born with fear, people are soldiers, they are thieves,
Some pirates trembled in their hearts, but they were already riding tigers.
The Bullhead flagship slowed down slightly, picked up again, and then the bow guns continued to fire.
The pirate ships of the Sea Eagle Flag were chasing the Kaohsiung No. 78 ship, and the guns of both sides exchanged guns, and the losses were not large.
Solid bombardment is really not such a refreshing thing, it is not easy to hit the opponent in the first place, and even if you hit the opponent, it will not hurt very much.
However, when the Southeastern ship used chain bombs, the pirates were not so calm.
Chain bullets flew and broke the main-mast support of the bull-headed banner (not the mainsail), and knocked off a large piece of the mast, from which a large piece of wood fell from the collision, just as one of the pirates stuck his head out of the main hatch, and the block smashed accurately over his head, knocking him unconscious.
Shoot several chain bullets in a row,
At the sound of a shrill horn, the three sloops worked in unison, the wind blowing on the sails, and its spinnakers were flared up on either side, like the ears of a rabbit.
They shouted loudly, and their oars and sails were at the same level as the three southeast ships.
Now is the time!
"Starboard guns ready!" Hong Xuguan shouted: "Lower half sail!" Turn the rudder and turn around. ”
With the movement of the soldiers, the Kaohsiung No. 72 ship turned back to the port side to grab the wind, so that the pirate ship ran in front of the No. 72 ship.
"Half a point on the port side!" Standing on the bulwark downwind, he stared intently at the pirate ahead, which spun like a spinning top under the action of the oars.
Finally the fire was handed in, and with a command, the starboard gun of the No. 72 ship opened fire, and the Corsair also returned fire with the starboard gun.
As soon as there was an exchange of fire, the pirate ship was hit one after another, and the cannonballs hit the bulwark of the bull flag pirate ship with great force, and the wood chips flew sideways, and the wounded pirates groaned.
Nine shells, eight hits!
Of the nine pirate shells, three hit high and hit the air, and two missed closely, hitting only four.
Artillery came and went, and within five minutes, the southeast ship fired four rounds of attacks!
The hit rate was frighteningly high, the pirate ship shook violently, and they only returned fire three times, and the hit rate was not high.
Since they did not expect the Chinese attack to be so sharp, the people on the pirate ship were panicked. The gunner of one of the cannons did not clear the barrel of the cannon in his hesitation and simply stuffed the new gunpowder into it, and the gunpowder exploded and sprayed him in the face, and he screamed in a heart-rending manner, which made the rest of the pirates even more confused, and they dragged him aside, re-cleaned the cannon, reloaded the gunpowder, and fired the cannonballs.
However, the whole action was a step slower, and all the starboard guns were slow.
The Bull Flag pirate ship had to turn its bow and fire its guns on the port side in order to allow the starboard side to catch its breath.
"Collect the sails, put the sails away!" Hong Xuguan roared wildly, and the other party fired chain bullets one after another, breaking several mast cables, and also causing the right side of the mainmast to fall, and the mainsail was also pierced a few times.
"Beat me hard!" The co-captain Chen Qiu, who was on the gun deck, walked around, encouraging morale, and the cannonballs burst out, and the 18-pounder gun roared powerfully, firing one powerful cannonball after another, and slammed the pirate ship, knocking down a large chunk of the bulwark behind its port side, and the gunners inside were killed and wounded.
When I saw several pirates trying to clean up from that gap, they were bombarded by the musketeers of the southeast ship, and the target was big enough to send all the bullets inside, and the pirates immediately fell several people, so that the two guns failed, and the firepower was weaker.
Anything happened during the battle, and Hong Xuguan's head suddenly tilted to the side, and he was shot!
A musket bullet from the pirate ship was so coincidental that it avoided the steel helmet on his head and hit him in the ear, and he quickly reached out to touch it, but the ear was numb and bleeding, and he left the bulwark, when the medics stepped forward and tore open the tin foil first aid kit, and took out a piece of cotton that had been sterilized by sun exposure to stop the bleeding.
Southeast Asia is a province where there are a lot of tin mines, and people make tin foil, which is very useful to prevent moisture.
Officer Hong was treated by the medical guards, his eyes did not take his eyes off the pirate ship, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw that the pirate ship still wanted to come over.
"Open the upper mast sail (by the wind), keep it level, and let it eat the cannon!"
Originally, the pirate ship was more flexible than the southeast ship, but it was not small and suffered a lot of damage, and when it approached, it ate two rounds of guns in a row, and finally the pirate ship helped up, ready to jump over and kill them, and use the stumps and broken arms and blood of those Chinese to calm their anger, when they looked up, more than a dozen black spheres flew in.
Falling on the pirate ship, the bombs rang out, turning the open deck of the pirate ship into a place where steel nails and iron bullets raged freely, and the unprotected pirates were blown up to the ground of one Buddha ascending to heaven and two Buddhas Nirvana!
