CHAPTER XV. The First Naval Battle 2

Tang Xunliang himself didn't know why he gave this order, he was just used to it, usually when performing anti-smuggling tasks in the old time and space, these smugglers often waited until they were on the gang to suddenly rush over, so that the weapons on the anti-smuggling boat here lost the advantage of distance, so the interception task of anti-smuggling basically had an operation process, and he was just giving orders according to the operation process now.

Orders are orders, and although everyone did not understand them, they seriously put on their stab-proof suits, loaded their weapons, leaned against the guardrails, and stared closely at the boats on the opposite side. Then 8154 remained in place, keeping its side facing the unknown flotilla, and the trebuchet and scorpion crossbow, which were ready to be launched, were already aimed at the medium-sized Fukubune led by the leader. The anti-smuggling boat headed for the medium-sized fortune boat.

When the anti-smuggling boat approached, I could see that the people on the ship were all calm, just standing in place and looking at this side one by one, with blank expressions. Suddenly, the lookout shouted loudly. "They have weapons!"

It turned out that the weapons exposed by several sailors who had not hid their weapons flashed cold under the strong light, and were discovered by the lookouts.

The loud shouts also woke up the pirates on the other side, and the pirates threw various long-range weapons at the anti-smuggling boat, which was only twenty meters away, and several unresponsive traversers were hit in the hands and feet and fell to the ground. Tang Xunliang hurriedly squatted down and lowered his head to resist the various long-range weapons thrown from the opposite side with his steel helmet, and for a while, there was a sound of being knocked by long-range weapons on the deck and steel plate walls.

"What? Is this an iron ship? Zhong Bin couldn't help but feel refreshed. He didn't know why a ship made of steel could float on the water, but the iron ship in front of him was a sure fact. A burst of excitement welled up in his heart, and he hurriedly shouted: "Fire!" Fire! "As long as you leave this ship here, even if you don't know how to sail back, it's a big deal to tow it to Wenshan Port to set sails. If you can have such a big iron ship, won't you be invincible in the future on the North Sea, even if you can't sail freely without sails and oars, you can rely on one not to be afraid of fire, and two are not afraid of cannons at a long distance, even if it is a naval army of the imperial court.

"Everybody squat!" Hearing someone on the opposite side shouting to open fire, Tang Xunliang hurriedly shouted loudly and squatted down again.

"Boom!" "Boom!" With the sound of two cannons, the cannons of the two amidships jumped up, and the broken copper and iron that the loaders had haphazardly stuffed into, and even pebbles and sand speled out from the muzzles, clanging on the decks and the sides of the ship.

Tang Xunliang hurriedly stood up and glanced at it, but did not see any major casualties, and hurriedly shouted at the driver who was still squatting in the driver's seat: "Reversing at full speed!" Get out of here! ”

At this time, the two Fu boats in the back also came up, ready to stop the anti-smuggling boat with a ramming, and the guns on the bow of the ship also fired one after another, but because the distance was more than 100 meters, these fragments did not even make much noise on the ship.

"Raise the sails! Raise the sails! Zhong Bin shouted. The sailors behind him hurriedly ran to the aft deck, desperately pulling the sail ropes.

Seeing that the hard sail of the main mast of the nearest lucky boat was rising section by section, Wu Di, an armed policeman on the side, hurriedly raised his Bayi rifle and fired at the sail rope of the hard sail. At the same time, he shouted: "Break their sails, don't let them raise their sails!" ”

A few people nearby came to their senses at this time, and they all raised their hands to the eight and five or six halves in their hands, and began to shoot at the sail rope on the nearest fortune boat.

With a few gunshots, only a "pop" was heard, the sail line was broken from the middle, the heavy hard sail "poof" fell on the deck, several unlucky sailors were also pressed underneath, and the sailors who raised the sail behind also rolled on the deck, and for a time the deck was filled with the sound of oops.

At this time, as the hull of the anti-smuggling boat sank forward, the anti-smuggling boat finally began to move backwards. Even when it reversed backwards, the speed of the anti-smuggling boat surpassed that of the chasing Fu boat, and they could only watch in amazement as the large iron ship without sails and oars quickly retreated to a distance that they could not even cared about.

Bu Zhongfu was standing on the deck at this time, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back from the situation just now, if he was in that position, he probably didn't know how to move, and the position of the anti-smuggling boat and the enemy ship just now was too close, and his scorpion crossbow and trebuchet were estimated to be unable to guarantee that he would not be injured by mistake, he stomped his feet in a hurry, but he couldn't get up. At this time, seeing the anti-smuggling boat retreat to a safe distance, he hurriedly shouted: "Gun Commander! Free Fire! ”

Xiao Can, the gun commander, was also excited at this time, he had been a sailor in the navy for several years, and he had never participated in any battles, and even the guns were only twenty shots when he was in the recruit company, but at this time it was a real battle, and the opponent was still a group of pirates! Enthusiastic, he gave the command to fire at the scorpion crossbow beside him.

The observer of the Scorpion crossbow firing group measured the firing angle with a protractor, then estimated the distance to the target, and reported it to the gunner, who pressed a few times on a calculator to report the value, and then the operator set the ballista firing angle, and then the lookout ignited the tar-coated ammunition. With a "bang", the flaming wooden pole was ejected, drawing a long line of fire in the night sky, and sticking straight into the deck of the broken sail of the ship, and the burning tar splashed everywhere, immediately igniting the hard sails scattered on the deck. The members of the launch team cheered and hugged each other, Xiao Can turned his head to look at it with satisfaction, and then turned around, only to find that the sailors on the lucky ship hurriedly carried buckets from the sea and threw them at the burning hard sails. It didn't take long to extinguish the fire that had not had time to spread.

"Load up, get ready for the next launch!" The two operators hurriedly shook the roller to reload the ballista, and Xiao Can couldn't help but think angrily: "Next time develop some Greek fire, the more you pour the fire, the bigger it gets, and burn you pirates!" ”

"Bang!" Another beautiful arc rose from 8154, with a thin line of firelight, pulling out a barely visible band of light in the night sky. The "boom" cannon failed to hit the target, and the fireworks exploded on the water ten meters away from the Fufu, and the dazzling light and scattered prefabricated fragments immediately caused a group of people to fall on the deck of the Fufu. A wail came from the deck of the ship. A group of sailors rushed up from the ship, scrambling to clear the deck and reload the guns.

The speed of the sailboat is still too slow, although the two fortune boats behind are full sails, but it is still only three slow speeds behind, watching a beautiful turn of the anti-smuggling boat, directly to the T-shaped cross of the two fortune boats.

With Tang Xunliang roaring angrily: "Shoot!" ”

More than a dozen traversers on the deck spewed tongues of fire in the hands of the five, six, and eighty-one. A few knowledgeable people also replaced with tracer bombs and incendiary bombs, and fired directly at the sail cables of these two lucky ships. These are the excellent ammunition of the old time and space, just two point shots, the sail cables of the two lucky ships were ignited, because the distance is relatively high, there is no way to use wooden barrels to extinguish the water, can only watch the hard sails one after another into a big torch, and then burn the cable crackling and smashing on the deck, soon ignited the powder keg stacked on the deck, with two earth-shattering explosions, the two lucky ships were violently exploded into two sections, and the two ends were cocked and sunk into the sea, Everywhere the light on the surface of the sea was densely packed with human heads, and I don't know how many sailors jumped into the sea.

Zhong Bin knew at this time that he had hit a hard nail, and his three lucky ships did not take advantage of the two seemingly small ships, not to mention, but lost two lucky ships in these quarters of an hour, and his own sail cables had all failed, and the other party's ship was parked in the distance facing him, ready to be launched at any time, but he only had this lucky ship and the five-masted sailing ship that he had just captured a few days ago, and there were not even enough sailors on it. How good is that? In a panic, the voice of the other party came from the sea overheard, "Immediately raise the white flag, block the artillery, and avoid death!" ”

The hero doesn't eat the loss in front of him, Zhong Bin hurriedly asked his subordinates to play the white flag, anyway, at this time, if he wants to escape, he doesn't even have a sail, even if he has a sail, I'm afraid that he can't outrun these demon ships without sails and oars, and he is also a hero on the surface of the North Sea, and he doesn't dare to do anything to these people.

When the anti-smuggling boat approached the side of the ship again, the sailors on the ship were dejected, and they no longer had the idea of attacking. When Tang Xunliang jumped over with Wu Di and another member of the military team, Zhong Bin also took two sailors to greet these "Americans" with sharp firearms.

Liu Da'er's luck can no longer be said to be bursting, a piece of shrapnel hit his buttocks, and was stunned by the tight flesh and flew away, the sailors and gunners around him rolled a deck, and he didn't even break the skin a little when he was noisy, as for the fire chief he had peeked at before, he was pushed into the sea by the air wave when the first cannon exploded nearby, and a group of people who were shocked into the sea just now were not seen when they were salvaged, and they probably died in the sea. He was standing behind Zhong Bin at this time, looking curiously at these terrible US Coast Guards, all of whom were Chinese, wearing uniform uniforms and a large black vest on their upper body, which looked very heavy, and they all wore green iron helmets on their heads. No wonder there was a random beating on my side just now, and I didn't even see an injured person over there, how can such a set of protection that almost protects the teeth? He couldn't help but mutter.

At this time, Wu Di's heart was also secretly laughing, the thin little man behind the black man opposite, his whole body was skinny, but his two ears were very big, which could be compared with Zhu Bajie's big ears.
