Chapter 67: The Battle of Penghu V

Even though in this era, the replacement of weapons is not as fast as in later generations, but more than a hundred years is enough for the development of firearm technology. At this moment, most of the firearms used by the Dutch were heavy firearms. In terms of range, as well as power, it is better than the Xia army's firearms. For a while, Xia Jun was so suppressed that he couldn't raise his head.

However, as the two ships continued to approach, black things were thrown onto the opposite ship. It exploded.

Yes, grenades - bombs.

Listening to the sound of the explosion, Liu Guoxuan shouted and said, "Throw." ”

Ropes and hooks were thrown over. For a while, I don't know how many there were, as if countless spiders were spewing at the same time. Ropes, taut between the two boats.

"Kill." Liu Guoxuan shouted, then grabbed the rope with both hands, bit the long knife in his mouth, and climbed along the rope towards the Dutch boat.

To tell the truth, the Western ship imitated by Zheng Chenggong was a ship imitated by the Dutch, so the sides of the ships were almost the same height, so the Dutch did not have an advantage left behind, but even this was extremely dangerous, and the most dangerous thing was that the ships of the two sides did not lean together.

The Zheng family's ships desperately approached, but the Dutch desperately tried to pull away. So between the two ships, there was a distance of nearly three or five feet, and below was the sea water that was angry because the two ships were rapidly approaching. Tumbling waves. Between the two boats, there were only taut ropes, as if they were rope ladders.

At this moment, Liu Guoxuan led his hands and climbed over to the Dutch boat on the rope.

At this moment, Liu Guoxuan's face was flushed, both excited and excited. For many people in the Zheng family, this kind of face-to-face fighting is what they are used to. Even Zheng Zhilong estimates that it is also.

Zheng Zhilong's younger brother, Zheng Zhihu, was covered with a fishing net and hacked to death with a knife when he jumped ship, and they are used to such a war, including Liu Guoxuan.

The whistling wind flew over, and a throwing axe smashed down.

A few more people didn't have time to react at all, either the rope was cut, or they were cut by the axe, and they fell directly into the seawater, and they were directly swept into the seawater, and only a blood flower appeared, and then it dissipated, and no one came out of the sea.

Liu Guoxuan was like a monkey, and the whole person jumped over and jumped into the Dutch ship.

Suddenly I felt that behind the Dutch ship, there were also corpses all over the field.

The damage was mutual, Liu Guoxuan's side suffered heavy casualties before they could fight, how could the Dutch side survive, especially the last round of grenades-bombs. The person who blew up the Dutch turned on his back before Liu Guoxuan had a chance to rush over.

However, since Liu Guoxuan rushed over at this moment, the advantage of the Dutch ended here.

Liu Guoxuan is in his prime, and he is fighting. It was an expert, at this moment he crashed through, the long knife swirled, straight as Bai Lian, where he passed, blood splattered, sprayed out, and the long knife came out, almost no one was spared, it can be called a step and a kill.

It's just that the Dutch are not vegetarians either.

To put it mildly, the Zheng family soldiers were killed, but the Dutch were not killed, they came to the south thousands of miles away, and they had never seen anything before. The one with no life in his hand rushed over as if he were a madman.

In the case of hand-to-hand combat, firearms and firearms cannot be used. It's just that cold weapons fight each other, and the Dutch have a big shoulder and a round waist, a head taller than the Fujianese, and most of them are armed with battle axes, short knives, and even bayonets, and so on. For a while, Liu Guoxuan didn't know how much blood came out of his body.

No matter how powerful Liu Guoxuan is, his hands are invincible to his four hands.

It is also Liu Guoxuan's strong martial arts, if he changes to someone else, I am afraid that he will fall down in one face.

Even Liu Guoxuan may not be able to hold on. However, Liu Guoxuan's predicament was quickly resolved.

"Boom." With a bang, Liu Guoxuan only felt that his feet were shaking, and almost all of them were unstable under their feet, and some even fell into a rolling gourd.

"Kill." Shouts of killing rushed over.

But the two ships collided together, and Liu Guoxuan's subordinates, encouraged by Liu Guoxuan, rushed up one by one. For a time, dozens of meters square, more than 100 people, there was a tragic battle between swords and blood, and the corpses were ambushed step by step.

The Dutch seem to be crazy, but Liu Guoxuan and others are also desperate with their heads, in such a fight, any accident can happen, as heroic as Zheng Zhihu, it is also in such a battlefield that a fishing net will kill him.

But on the whole, it was Liu Guoxuan who took advantage.

It's just that Liu Guoxuan took advantage of it here, and in another place, the Dutch took advantage of it again.

At this moment, Chen Rui has already gone to half his life.

Chen Rui was hit in the leg by a cannonball flying from nowhere, and his entire calf was gone. It was also the officer, the captain, and the medical officer who bandaged it urgently, stopped the bleeding with a soldering iron, and his life could be regarded as saved.

After that, I don't know what the after-effects will be.

And Chen Rui doesn't think about this thing anymore at the moment.

Because, he has a hunch, he probably won't survive today.

It was not Chen Rui himself who was half-maimed, but also Chen Rui's warship.

Chen Rui bravely obeyed Zheng Chenggong's orders and blocked almost all the Dutch ships with his ship. And here the Dutch will not be polite to Chen Rui, especially when Carl finds that one of his ships has been entangled by the Zheng family

I can't get out.

I was even more angry in my heart.

For the Dutch, the nearest shipyard is in India, and the shipyards in India may not be able to build large ships of the same quality as the local ones, plus supplementary artillery or something. It can be said that every warship that can form a combat force is one of the most valuable assets of the East India Company.

Lost here today, how to keep Carl from being angry.

However, if Carl dared to fight this battle, he had already predicted that there would be losses in this battle. The loss of a ship was not enough to confuse Karl. It's just that that doesn't stop him from wanting revenge.

He took revenge on Chen Rui's ship.

Nearly 100 guns bombarded from all sides, and the deck of Chen Rui's ship was cleared again and again with grapeshot shells. Coupled with the bombardment of various cannons, Chen Rui's ship was simply full of holes, flooding everywhere, and at the beginning Chen Rui also commanded his soldiers to counterattack with artillery, but soon, Chen Rui gave up.

The reason is simple, the casualties among the soldiers are too large.

The gunners died almost in batches, and later Chen Rui could only want to maintain the ship, desperately ordering the soldiers to fill the leaks in the cabin and maintain the balance of the ship.

In fact, at this time, Carl could already safely withdraw from Chen Rui's side. It's just that Carl didn't breathe a bad breath, and this must sink this ship.

Although ships of this era were difficult to sink by less powerful artillery. But it also depends on the quantity, there are countless shells coming over, and they are shooting at the end, and I can't wait to put the muzzle against the side of Chen Rui's ship, and under one shot, the cannonballs can pass through the side of the order.

Even if Chen Rui ordered the soldiers to hide in the cabin, it was useless.

Chen Rui's leg was hit by a cannonball that passed through the bulkheads. It is precisely because of this that the power of this cannonball has weakened, and it only cost Chen Rui a leg, not a life.

At the beginning, Chen Rui was still gritting his teeth to repair the cabin, but soon, he found that everything he did was useless.

Chen Rui could only watch the sea water flood up layer by layer, flooding the cabins layer by layer, and even the artillery fire that had been bombarding had stopped, thinking that he knew that this ship had settled down and was no longer doing useless work. At this moment, there are few people around Chen Rui.

Chen Rui was unwilling to die like this. He lit a torch and said to the people around him, "Anyone who can dive can dive." I'm going to set off a big firework. ”

Chen Rui didn't want to die, but he broke a leg. It's impossible to swim, and even if you escape, you're sure to die. That's why I begged for a good time. Several people jumped into the sea from one side with tears in their eyes, and they didn't swim long before they heard a loud roar behind them, and the sunken ship was like a firework blooming from the middle. And this ship, that is, accelerated and sank.
