Section 87 Battle of Dingding (2)

Qianhu Masheng took ten arson boats to attack the plywood ships in the southeast province, but the wind direction was unfavorable, and he did not dare to ignite the fire, resulting in being beaten by cannons and extremely aggrieved.

Yu Zhihao was in high spirits, twenty arsonist boats came down the wind, and behind them was the Daming Navy Division, they rubbed their fists and sharpened their palms, waiting for the blood of the people of the Southeast Province to come out of the hatred that Penghu was unable to fight back and the brothers on the other side were beaten by the plywood boats of the Southeast Province.

The southeast province fired from afar, but the hit rate of the broadside cannon against the small boat during that period was not high, even if you went through the training of "moon and moon, fire, water, wood, gold, and gold".

AT A CLOSE DISTANCE OF 100 METERS, THE SMALL GUNS ON THE GUNBOATS OPENED FIRE, ESPECIALLY THE ONE-POUND GUNS (37MM CALIBER) MOUNTED ON THE WALL OF THE SHIP ON THE OPEN DECK PLAYED A CERTAIN ROLE, THEY WERE OFTEN MOUNTED ON GUN CARRIAGES SIMILAR TO "UNIVERSAL JOINTS", WHICH WERE INGENIOUS, LIGHT AND FLEXIBLE, EASY TO FIDDLE WITH, AND WERE OFTEN AIMED AT THE ARSONIST SHIP ONE BY ONE.

The damn cannonballs, it takes time for kinetic energy to destroy wooden boats, and twenty arsonboats continue to rush unaffected.

To deal with arsonist ships, the method of the Southeast Province is simple and rude, that is, the grenadiers throw black powder explosives!

In order to protect the big ship, the soldiers on the small boat drove over against the arson boat and threw explosives bags in front of them with a fearless spirit!

It seems that throwing things is not that difficult? This task is definitely not easy, above the sea, the boat rocks and a hand trembles, and if you don't throw it well, you have to eat your own explosives bag.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Three arsonists were blown up, their hulls disintegrated, and firewood and grass fell into the sea, no longer a threat, but when an eight-oared boat (a small boat, named after eight oars propelled in addition to sails in addition to sails) with sailors approaching to blow up the arsonist boat, an accident happened when one of the sailors picked up the explosives bag and lit the fire for him!

A rain of arrows whistled, and one of them pierced him through the throat!

The Ming army put cover on the arsonist ship, and the bow and arrow fired indiscriminately, but he didn't expect to shoot on target.

"Boom!" With a bang, the people on the eight-oared boat were blown up by their own explosives bags!

In fact, in order to prevent arrows, the sailors on the eight-oared boat used shields to shield, but they didn't expect that people would shoot so accurately that they couldn't block it.

The hapless ship immediately lost control in the current and left the array, while the arsonist continued to advance.

If one can't be blown up, the other will be fried!

Another eight-oared boat rowed up, but the grenadiers threw three explosive packs in a row, and either they missed the explosion, or they did not detonate (the fuse was wet by the wind and waves), or they could not destroy the arsonist boat.

If it can't be blown up, use the top of the ship, and then detonate the explosives on the ship, blowing both boats into the air, and the crew jumped into the water to escape.

Anything is possible above the sea and into the water

……

Vice Admiral Li Ying, who was on the tall deck of the Spanish galleon, watched the arson ships being intercepted one by one, but many of them succeeded by detonating the interception ships, and said unhappily: "Nasty arsonist ships!" ”

What is strange is that in the Southeast Fleet, there are no units of arson ships, so Li Ying can't do it even if he wants to, and he even regrets it.

The Ming Army's naval division battleship formation entered the third strike group of the Southeast Fleet!

The two sides fought in a melee, and the sound of killing shook the sky: the sound of gunfire, artillery, and the sound of weapons colliding, together with the screams of people, the sound of falling water, and the roar of people gnashing their teeth, made this sea area like a boiling cauldron in the blink of an eye!

Yang Ce, a bandit who returned to the official army, was the brother of Yang Lu, the leader of the bandits who was killed by the Southeast Prefecture in front of Xiamen Port a while ago.

The galleon was towering, and he dragged his knife from his double-bow galleon to a sail line, swung it hard, and sent himself onto the deck of the galleon!

Seeing the scene of his brave move, the Ming officers and soldiers didn't have time to shout: "Okay! The next moment, they saw an amazing scene happening in front of them.

The gunfire on the galleon was loud, and a thick cloud of gunpowder smoke rose, and Yang Ce flew up and fell to the water like a kite with a broken string, and plopped!

Suddenly, the Ming army was silent, and the people of the southeast province on the galleon raised their guns to show off their might!

Three Laws of Naval Warfare:

1. Heroes and heroes, knocked down with one shot!

If not, another shot! If you can't get into it (the enemy has armor), then slap you in the face! (Relatively few people are equipped with visors.)

2. Shoot within 10 meters of a close range!

The hit rate of the musket is that tragic method, once the Bald Eagle country fought a civil war, the other side has hundreds of muskets, it seems that the queue is terrifying, but you ride a horse and gallop back and forth from a hundred meters away from them, the possibility of hitting you is that they need God's blessing (God generally has no time to listen), shooting at sea, when the sea breeze is fierce, it is not surprising that the deviation is a few meters away.

3. Keep the firepower alive at all times! (e.g. take a three-stage shot, shoot one by one, and not fire at the same time, unless the enemy is in a dense attack)

The above three do not apply to combatants who have obtained a "marksman certificate", who have undergone a lot of training and have a high long-range shooting percentage. (Shooter certificates, the southeast province has a strong research atmosphere, certificates are everywhere, and many certificates are linked to bonuses.) The shooter certificate is mainly to assess the accuracy of the shooter, according to the hit rate is divided into one, two and three and the special shooter certificate, of which the special shooter certificate requires to shoot live targets, may hit flying pigeons or something)

After all, the officers and soldiers have been trained for many years, such as the sea bandit Yang Ce, who uses a big sword, and can be worthy of the post of "fierce general".

However, the people of the southeast province resolutely refused to do so, the galleon was where the commander was, equipped with a large number of elite marines, and when they saw the enemy suddenly boarding the ship, they immediately opened fire!

Under the random gun, beat Yang Ce away!

Everywhere there are gunfires one after another, and the fire is fierce!

The combatants of the southeast province almost all had a flintlock pistol, and many boats even used guns, and the Ming army elected the general Zhang as a big victim, he did not die in the hands of the opponent's elite soldiers, but was killed by an ordinary fisherman, and his death was extremely disgraceful!

Zhang Xuan took a boat to attack the southeast mansion, he led the army to attack a boat with lightning speed, the other party fired, Zhang Xuan had a meat shield, and the people who knocked down Zhang Xuan's subordinates took advantage of their loading, Zhang Xuan killed them all, and finally left the boat boss who took the rudder, and he looked at the bloody officer and army walking towards him with a panicked face.

"Get down!" Zhang Xuan was too lazy to do it.

"This ship is my ......," the boat boss requisitioned.

"Get down! Jump! Zhang Xuan said impatiently.

He was answered by the sound of gunfire, and the captain of the boat somehow found a short tong and hit it in the face of Zhang Xuan!

The short commander was the gun of the small leader of the Southeast Mansion who died in the battle on the ship, he was killed while loading, and the gun fell to the feet of the ship boss, who picked it up and pulled the board machine.

The chamber is loaded with shotguns!

A shot at close range knocked Zhang Xuan's face into a terrifying honeycomb shape!

"Ahhhh

Zhang Xuanwu did not fall down, covering his face with his hands, and roared in pain, his subordinates naturally did not follow, and were ready to step forward and dismember the body of the ship boss.

The boss of the boat was worried that he was going to roll down this time, but the officers and men on the opposite side rushed up three steps, immediately retreated, and fled back to his own ship.

The boss of the ship turned his head to look, but it was a brother who knew him well who drove a boat and brought people from the Southeast Province to come over for reinforcements.

He flew up and kicked Zhang Xuan into the water: "It's you who should get down!" ”
