Section 369 Tragic fighting
The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty
Wu Feng smiled, didn't say a word, and buried himself in loading ammunition.
The Zhang Shoubei in front of him, who is younger than him, has a fiery and arbitrary personality, and although his superiority has the relationship between his brother Qin Du, it cannot be said that he also works very hard, and he is a man with a true temperament.
However, the army is not his love, and he has other considerations, but he lives up to his love.
The marines on the ship did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out gunpowder and projectiles, and reloaded the guns again.
I heard another burst of cannonball, and Scar Six's boat was once again filled with a cloud of gunsmoke, and the losses were heavy.
The battle just now injured dozens of them, and at this moment, the minions on the ship have not yet recovered their strength, and they are desperately fighting the fire with water and fighting the fire in the roar of the leader, or pulling the wounded, but they didn't expect the second round of strikes to be so fast.
took advantage of his illness to kill him, and even said that the thief would capture the king first.
Shen Shouchong is a veteran of naval warfare, so naturally he will not miss such a good opportunity.
"Speed up and sink them."
The helmsman controlled the ship, and the sails were raised, and the ship began to turn, and the bow of the ship slammed into Scar Six's pirate ship.
The hull of the ship was already larger than that of a pirate sailing ship, and it was much stronger, with a tall and sharpened bow like a huge iron plow.
In the time of sea engagement, it has a considerable advantage over ordinary ships, in addition to the large number of guns, the carrying capacity of people and cargo is also large.
When used in naval warfare, it was the absolute main force of the Ming Dynasty, including the official army and naval divisions, and it could also rely on the collision tactics to achieve the purpose of destroying enemy ships.
Shen Shouchong's move immediately attracted the attention of the pirate ship pirates, and he shouted at Scar Six in a hoarse voice: "Helm handle!" Watch out for the lucky boat on the left, they're going to hit us! ”
Scar Six is worthy of being an old pirate who has been crisscrossing the East China Sea all the year round, and when he saw the Ming Dynasty's lucky ship crashing into him, he just glanced at the surrounding situation slightly, and immediately yelled at the helmsman:
"Right hand drive! Turn right! Get out of it! Hurry up, speed up the sails! ”
Receiving the order, the men rushed to the side of the ship, pulled the sail line, and pulled the sail to adjust the wind. The helmsman, who was also a veteran, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately after receiving the order, he pulled the rudder with force to turn the ship to the right.
The boat borrowed the wind to draw a white wake on the dark blue sea, and then made a right turn, stunned to stagger the lucky boat that Shen Shouchong rushed over.
And almost clinging to the lucky boat, and staggered past it, only less than ten meters away from each other.
Looking at the hull of the tower-like Fukuship, passing by their port side, everyone on the pirate ship couldn't help but swallow and spat at the mouth.
It's not like I don't know, in this comparison, their boat is really a little too small, although the other party's lucky boat is not too big, but at least compared to their boat, it is still more than twice as big, which makes them feel oppressed.
The Fu ship did not hit the pirate ship this time, and it was not polite, and the soldiers on board immediately rushed to their port side, and they all condescendingly fired arrows and guns at the pirate ship.
For a moment, the pirate ship could only be shrouded in their attacks, crackling on the deck, constantly being shot by guns or rockets.
This kind of firing angle is very ideal, especially the Baizi gun, which is simply like a target, and when it is bombarded, dozens of nearly 100 cannons sweep across most of the deck like brooms.
After these three waves of critical hits, the Scar Six lost hundreds of men in an instant, and now they had no drama to sing, and they were basically beaten to the point that they lost their effective combat strength, and then they were unable to engage in any broadside battles at all.
Seeing such a scene, Zhang Yun couldn't help it, holding a knife in his right hand and a fist in his left hand, and shouted loudly: "Beautiful!" Brothers played beautifully! Hahaha......"
Although the pirate's ship has not been sunk until now, as the first beautiful battle since the Marine Corps went to sea, everyone on board, including Zhang Yun, couldn't help but cheer.
It's just that they celebrated too early, and the battle was far from over.
Except for Shen Shouchong, the head ship of the Dengzhou Wei Navy, which is a Dafu ship of 500 materials, the other six ships are only between 3 and 400 materials. Although it has an advantage over the pirate sailing ships, it is by no means a crushing situation.
Otherwise, pirates would not dare to fight with the officials, especially if they were at a disadvantage. In other words, the pirates have the power to fight.
Just when Zhang Yun and the others were celebrating their small victory, the two fleets were already entangled and staggered.
They were in close proximity to each other, in a state of scuffle, with ships on both sides looking for their respective targets to attack.
Seeing that Scar Six's ship was beaten by the Dengzhou Navy and was powerless, it was about to be destroyed. One of Scar's boats rushed towards Zhang Yun's flagship ship despite the warring sides.
The two boats were walking opposite each other, both possessing a certain speed, and soon staggered past Zhang Yun and their flagship, and Zhang Yun's stern was facing the middle of their hull.
The three gunners, who had been waiting at the stern of the ship for a long time, saw this opportunity and immediately dropped their torches.
There were more than a dozen pirates, who threw javelins towards the Fu ship, and a javelin almost grazed Zhang Yun's side and nailed it to the deck, and the marines who saw it were all exclaimed.
Zhang Yun was not shocked, but his body turned slightly sideways, and after ensuring his safety, he was not moved at all, and let the javelin be nailed to his feet.
Without waiting for the javelin to stop trembling, Zhang Yun stretched out his hand and picked up the javelin that was still trembling at his feet, and threw the javelin back the way it came.
Unfortunately, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the sea water was stirred and tumbled by a dozen boats.
This caused Zhang Yun's javelin to miss the target, and as a result, it flew over the side of the sailboat with a whoosh, and with a trembling sound, it was firmly nailed into the mainmast.
At the same time, there were also a large number of casualties on the ship.
A soldier was hit by an arrow in the chest, and the arrow, which was also a rocket with strips of oilcloth, was still burning.
The cluster of arrows pierced the soldier's weak leather armor and embedded it in his chest, and he screamed in pain, and quickly reached out to pull out the arrow.
But there was still fire on the arrow, and his hand was burned again, and he screamed one after another in pain.
Fortunately, someone next to him had a bad hand, so he quickly grabbed a wooden barrel containing half a barrel of seawater and threw it over, immediately dousing the rocket on his chest and dragging him under the side of the ship, so that he was not burned by the fire.
Another handsome, unlucky, was accidentally stabbed by a javelin thrown from a pirate ship, which pierced him through his thigh and pinned him to the deck of the ship.
The man let out a terrible scream on the spot, screaming for help, and grasping the javelin with both hands to pull it out of the deck.
But before he could pull out his javelin, a bullet hit him in the neck again.
He immediately let go of his grip on the javelin, clutched his neck so hard that he could no longer scream. It could only make a snoring sound in his throat, and a large amount of blood immediately gushed out from the wound in his neck.
Without waiting for others to save him, he soon collapsed on his side on the deck, seeing that he would not survive. But even when he died, one of his legs was nailed to the deck by a javelin.
Such a tragic scene fell in the eyes of everyone on board, shocking them and infuriating these young marines.
