Chapter 145: A Smooth Naval Battle
At this time, the Deng Yingzhou had sailed side by side with the Zhou ship, and the soldiers and sailors on the side of the board were all staring at the opponent, and Xu Shiyang saw from a distance that the state of the widow on the opposite side was actually similar.
The enemy has been entangled with another lucky ship for a long time, and he is about to get it, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by someone halfway, and he is naturally very unhappy.
Both sides were holding back their strength to fight this battle, so they didn't dodge or dodge, and went straight to each other.
It's the other lucky boat, which finally got out, didn't stop much, and found the opportunity to slip away directly.
"Phew! Bad seeds! Luo Haigou scolded: "If they come up at this time, let's fight two and one, and we will win soon!" ”
"They're afraid we'll rob them too." Xu Shiyang smiled and said, "It's just right to go, if they help, I will also give them the loot." ”
"By the way, do you remember the lucky ship that escaped?"
"Didn't you say you wouldn't rob them?" Luo Haigou asked rhetorically.
"If you don't rob it, you won't rob it, but we saved their lives after all, if we can meet them after we get to the shore, they have to buy us a little favor, right?"
Xu Shiyang said with a smile:
"Didn't you say that these boats are all connected to the Jiangnan Hao clan? Don't let this favor be in vain. ”
Luo Haigou scratched his head and didn't say anything more.
Zhao Lin, who was holding a short gun, muttered in a low voice: "I always feel that you have a purpose in everything you do, including accepting me into the room, so you are not tired." ”
Xu Shiyang turned his head and gave her a big smile.
At this time, the two ships were already close to less than 20 meters, and Xu Shiyang could even hear the screams of the widows at this distance.
Behind the guard plate of the ship, a cold light flickered with swords and spears, and the assault team on the opposite side had already gathered on this side, ready to engage in a broadside battle.
Xu Shiyang didn't have time to laugh with Zhao Lin, he pulled out his waist knife, pointed at the enemy ship on the opposite side and shouted: "Open fire!" Rapid fire! ”
Boom Boom!
The gunner of the Divine Machine brought the ignition fork close to the fire door, and the three shells were instantly discharged.
In the days when there was no radar, not even simple optical equipment, the best way for naval guns to achieve a high hit rate was to get closer to the opponent, and a little closer, so close that a spear could pierce the opponent.
Now this is almost the case, at a distance of only 20 meters, it is difficult to shoot a ship with a displacement of more than 100 tons.
Xu Shiyang saw with his own eyes that the 4 catties of cannonballs fired by the general cannon in the ship's amidship tore a large piece of the guard to pieces, and then swept across the deck of the ship at a low altitude without slowing down, destroying all the people and things that stood in the way, and then dropped slightly in height, drew a deep trench on the ship's board, and then crashed into the guard plate on the other side and fell into the sea.
"Cut, lose 4 pounds of good iron." Xu Shiyang muttered quietly.
The 4 catties of the weekly system is equivalent to a little more than 5 pounds in the West, and the power of such a thin guard plate at such a close distance is obviously a little excessive.
The two magic cannons are obviously a lot better, 2 catties of shells can just destroy the guard, kill and injure the personnel behind, and not be overpowered, and all the energy of the shells is applied to the enemy ship, with scattered and splashed fragments of the guard, the Japanese who are hiding behind and preparing to engage in the broadside battle form a huge damage.
A deafening scream rang out in an instant, and a large cloud of blood mist rose from the ship, and broken limbs and fragments of weapons flew everywhere.
Then there were two cannon shots, and the rear-mounted Shenji cannon showed extremely strong suppressive force in this kind of melee combat in the face of low-protection targets, and when the two sides approached about 3 or 4 meters by inertia, the two Shenji guns had already fired three shells each.
The Divine Riflemen standing behind the guards also took the opportunity to gather fire, and all the guards on the side of the ship near the Dengyingzhou were shattered, and the Fuso people hiding behind were killed and wounded, and the blood flowed down the side of the ship into the sea like a stream.
The ship suffered heavy damage in an instant, and only a few sporadic arrows during this period were counted as a return fire, and of course it was impossible to hurt anything. Instead, a thigh torn off by a cannonball collapsed onto the Dengyingzhou, hitting a sailor who was unlucky enough to go home.
Xu Shiyang didn't know that the leader on the other side would not regret fighting this battle at this time, of course, even if he regretted it, it would be too late now.
With a bang, Deng Yingzhou and the side side of the Zhou ship collided together, and the sailors of the Deng Yingzhou immediately shouted and threw out the hooks, and there were not many people on the other side to deal with these hooks, so they could only let Deng Yingzhou firmly fix the Zhou boat, like a conjoined baby.
At this time, the Shenji cannon had stopped dissipating heat, but the military cannon opened fire again, Xu Shiyang's order not to sink limited the play of this powerful weapon, and the cannonball swept across the deck again, tearing the two twisted human bodies into pieces and scattering them evenly on the deck, and then fell into the sea again.
Then the Divine Soldiers and the Draftmen with bows and arrows shot at the enemy ships, and the buckshot and bows and arrows flew around the ship, turning all the living things that could still move into corpses.
The ship was in a mess, scattered with countless mutilated corpses, and even the shipbuilding had been opened with several large holes, most of the crew had been killed, and those who were still alive were also suppressed in the cabin, completely losing the ability to fight back.
Victory was in sight, and the excited sailors shouted trumpets and put a few pedals between the two ships, and then Nojiri took the lead, and the trappers, the drafters, the gods, and even most of the sailors swarmed onto the enemy ships.
Xu Shiyang didn't blindly mix with the past, he just stood on the deck of Dengyingzhou with his hands in his hands, and happily watched his men rush into every corner of the enemy ship, carrying all the still alive Japanese robbers onto the deck and making them kneel aside.
More than 60 people were killed on the spot, and more than 30 prisoners, including more than 20 wounded, were gathered on the side of the ship, waiting for the verdict of the victor.
Only one person was wounded on the Dengyingzhou, and there were a few arrows stuck in the guard, but there were no other losses.
Ah, by the way, there are still two shells weighing a total of 8 catties that cannot be recovered, which can be regarded as a loss.
"Third brother! It's so enjoyable! Xu Shiliu stood behind Xu Shiyang, laughed and said, "It seems that this widow is not difficult to deal with at sea!" ”
In the past ten years, the owners of the dock fort in Jiangbei have been afraid of Tartars and bandits on land, and they are afraid of pirates and pirates at sea.
"That's because through our efforts, our family has become stronger, so what we used to be afraid of is now nothing."
Xu Shiyang chuckled:
"Let's go, let's go to the boat and see what good things we can find."
