"The Dutch have changed."

Seeing that several battleships were struggling to move sideways down from the battlefield above, and several merchant ships came from other positions, and took the beating for the battleships, Jiang Kui put down his binoculars, wiped the seawater that had just been splashed by the shells, and said to Dezhnev on the side: "It seems that they want to make a hammer deal, concentrate their firepower in the middle of the road, and strive to destroy one or two merchant ships of our army, or sink the Zhenwei to get a reason to retreat." ”

Dezhnev muttered something, Jiang Kui organized his mind for a while, and then remembered that the other party spoke Russian.

Jiang Kui didn't know Russian, and glared at Dezhnev, and the other party came to his senses and said in Chinese: "If you don't want to win, you just want to take advantage of it and run, and that's what the Dutch are all about." ”

Jiang Kui rolled his eyes and said, "Who can be as tough as you Russians?" ”

Lao Maozi's hard-line style and Hu Lai's way of doing things have been spread in Hutchison, doing things wild and rude, how tough and rough the boats are built, as long as they can get into the water and run the boat, the details are not too particular.

Hutchison's boat, Lao Maozi designed and built it roughly, and the details were already done by themselves.

Of course, the sails and rigging still need to be helped by the Russians, otherwise Hutchison would not be able to do it himself.

When the Dutch wanted to change their tactics, the Russians obviously had the same plan, Jiang Kui was originally on the sailing No. 1 boat, but was summoned by Dezhnev with a flag, of course, he also came over in a small sailing boat rowed by four people.

"What are your plans, old man?" Jiang Kui finally wiped the seawater clean, but there was a feeling of pickle in his eyes and face, and his mouth was even more bitter, it was just a trivial matter, he didn't pay attention to it at all, just stared at Dezhnev, waiting for the other party to make a decision.

After a long time, the gangsters are also familiar, and they are not too formal to each other, Dezhnev is soaked in the harbor shipyard area all day long, and he is quite serious in his work, and the things at sea are even clearer, otherwise he will not get the trust and support of the soldiers, and the gray-blue eyes and golden hair in front of him are the obvious characteristics of the alien race, unlike some Russians, who have obvious yellow blood.

"Of course my intention is to win!" Dezhnev's robe was also soaked, and there were still stains of blood on his right shoulder, and blood was oozing out from his right shoulder bit by bit...... Several pro-soldiers have been standing beside Dezhnev, and although they are Hutchison's soldiers, their faces are full of admiration.

Dezhnev has always stood in the command position, which is also characteristic of naval officers of this era, and the so-called chivalry and pirate spirit are combined in this way.

Dezhnev's usual prestige is enough, and today's performance can be regarded as a full score, Jiang Kui knows that there is no need to persuade this old man, it is impossible for the other party to go down to bandage, and he just didn't see it at the moment, waiting for Dezhnev's next words.

"Attack together on two roads...... Dezhnev's Chinese is really average, but he can finally express his good intentions completely: "Our side is rushing to attack, preparing to hook up and jump on the ship, and send eight pulp boats to top it with a fire boat in the middle lane!" ”

"Fireship?" Jiang Kui frowned, he remembered that Zhang Han said very clearly that the naval battle should be based on Western methods, and he was not prepared to use the tactics commonly used by the Ming Dynasty or pirates, and the fireship seemed to be the standard tactics of pirates.

As soon as Jiang Kui said what he meant, Dezhnev exploded on the spot: "Who told you that pirates only use fireboats?" During the Anglo-Spanish naval war, the British used fireships many times, and in our naval battles in the Baltic Sea, fireships appeared almost every time. In order not to use pirate warfare, is it stupid not to use such a good weapon? Our advantage is that the army is strong, the number of people is outnumbered, and the ships are inferior to the Dutch, so we do not take this opportunity to burn a few of them with fireboats, and we will capture a few more ships on our side, and everyone will repair the ships after this battle, and two months later it will be a copy of today's naval battle...... The Dutch still have trade and money to make, what about your side? ”

Jiang Kui was sprayed with a spit on the face of Dezhnev, but there was no sense of anger in his heart, indeed, this battle is a victory for the Dutch to sink a merchant ship, because the blockade is not solved, for the Hutchison side, today must score a victory to break the deadlock, and only then can there be a chance to negotiate with the Dutch!

"Old Jie, you have the final say." Jiang Kui said: "Anyway, I have been prepared for a long time. ”

Dezhnev's anger eased slightly, and he pointed to those eight pulp boats and said: "After these ships are the fire ships, as soon as we see the fire ships dispatching, we are ready to hook up and jump to the gang!" ”

……

When Jiang Kui returned to his ship, he found that he was hit by a cannon on the side side, the design of the sailing ship is high at both ends and low in the middle, the slurry deck is smooth in the middle, and there are thirty-two paddlers on each side, the long pulp is very long, because the hull is very large, this kind of sailing pulp ship is also a warship developed by the unique maritime characteristics of the Mediterranean Sea and the Baltic Sea in the West, as early as the Persian and Greek periods, there were large-scale naval battles of sailing pulp ships, the main reason is that the ancients can cross the sea by sailing pulp ships, and it is also determined by the characteristics of the ocean, if you try to change the Atlantic?

This kind of ship has been eliminated in Western Europe in the era of galleon cannons, the sail fleet of the Arabs has long been defeated, its sea power has been completely defeated, even if it is a land power, the Ottoman Turkey has begun to become weak, no longer the previous capture of Constantinople when the shock of Europe, will soon become a sick man, and later the Qing Dynasty is called the east and west wall...... The brothers are brothers and brothers, and they are both the Lord who is pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Only in Northern Europe there was still a considerable market for sailboats, and until the Kangxi period of China, during the time of Peter the Great of the Russians, sailboats also played a role in naval battles against Sweden and other countries.

The Russians are quite good at sailing ships, the design is reasonable, and the construction cycle is only seven months, which is a miracle in a large ship of several hundred tons, of course, it is also because these ships are consumables, and it is only possible to use a batch of fast-moving consumer goods for more than a year with 300,000 silver, that is, the simple and rough Maozi can fight this idea, that is, Chang Wei, who was born as a gentleman and used silver as mud and sand, can agree to such a crazy proposition.

There were blood stains everywhere on the starboard side, at least a dozen people were carried down for treatment, and there were spare paddlers who silently filled in the empty slots, so as not to affect the operation of the ship.

If the number of paddlers in reserve is not enough, take the marines to fill in, take the officers to fill in, this is the basic principle that has been repeatedly emphasized during training, in any case, except for the gunner, everyone must be prepared to be the paddleman, when the shell comes, only pray, hit the reimbursement, the family is waiting to receive the pension, the officer's pension is higher, the soldier's pension is not bad, everyone must have the belief of death to sit in the sailman's seat, a little fear and timidity, a little more distractions in the mind, this seat can not sit, If you sit down, not only will you not be able to sit firmly, but you will also affect other comrades-in-arms!

When the sail padper is training, he has always practiced in the rumble of cannons, how many times have almost caused an accident of accidentally killing friendly soldiers, and accidental injury is inevitable, Dezhnev and others are strict with the training, but they did not expect that the Hutchison sailor will be strict to this point, the cannonball is almost just over the head of the sail man, sometimes it will deliberately hit the hull, sawdust flies, accidental injury is inevitable, which sail pulp hand does not dare to jump up to dodge, that is, the face shows hesitation, the hand of the boat pulp pauses slightly, and the qualification of the sail pulp is also to be cancelled.

Due to the most dangerous positions, the sail operators were also treated very well, and in addition to the salary equal to the highest rank of artilleryman, there was an additional high-risk allowance...... No one will be able to take this silver, and everyone knows that no position in naval warfare will face the most dangerous situation like that of a sailman.

In fact, just in the battle against the Hector and the House of Cruninsin, several rounds of artillery fire, most of the cannonballs hit the hull or fell into the water, and there were also cannonballs in the middle of the sideboard, a shot down, the sail hand above the side side suffered heavy casualties, and the people who took over were in a pool of blood and continued to operate the pulp, this kind of post, without very perverted training and the strongest will plus the honor of the merchant army and the tradition of military discipline, ordinary people really can't stand it.

At the sound of a sharp brass whistle, the heavy iron anchor was pulled up, and the sailmen began to row hard towards the opposite battleship and merchant ship, separated by a mile and a half, and the battleship could be reached in front of the enemy ship in no more than ten minutes at most!

……

"They're going to hook up and jump the gang!"

Song Ke's eyes froze, and he immediately saw the plan of the Hutchison battleship.

The movements of the four sailing boats are so beautiful, turning horizontally into vertical, and then quickly rowing forward, each boat is dozens of long paddles struggling to row the seawater, the speed is extremely fast, and the sails have also been adjusted, not only with the paddling force, but also with the sail power to eat the wind.

This shows that in terms of daily training, the current situation was expected by Hutchison, so he did not hesitate to immediately prepare to board the ship and jump into the gang.

You can't dodge, if it's all sail warships, whether you can jump or not depends on factors such as ocean currents, wind power, the size and handling of the ships on both sides, and the sail ship in front of you is also using the wind, but the more important power is paddling, there is manpower to push, with the help of this wind can move quickly, even if the battleship here wants to dodge, it depends on whether you can quickly eat the wind and sail away...... Obviously an impossible task.

Song Ke faintly regretted at this time, this naval battle was a little urgent and unplanned.

But Hutchison couldn't stop fighting, and the Dutch sailors on deck were already preparing for battle.

Sailors preparing for war are holding a variety of cold weapons, compared to muskets without bayonets, sailors still like to use cold weapons in the gang war, this era was originally the era of alternating hot and cold, there are still a large number of pikemen in the famous Spanish phalanx, the weapons in the hands of the Dutch are quite complex, there are spears, iron halberds, chain hammers, broadswords, long swords, long knives, short swords, short axes, etc., from the point of view of the block, it is enough to make Song Ke rest assured, after all, it is a strong race, and the sailors and army members in front of him are big shoulders and round waists, Tall and long, he is full of murderous aura when he holds a weapon.
