Chapter 1802: Death by One Shot
Although the big cannibals had some scruples about the Datang South China Sea Naval Division, as soon as the war started, those big cannibals were indeed fierce and abnormal, and in the face of the menacing Datang warships, in order to buy time for their companions, more than 20 wooden warships immediately came up.
Longbows and short crossbows were hurled towards the deck of the Tang warships, and even some large cannibal warships were equipped with small trebuchets and small bed crossbows, which were quite powerful under the random fire of arrows.
After ordering the fleet to crash and destroy several large cannibal warships, Yu Chi Baoqi stopped killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, after all, although the battleship was iron, it was much stronger than the big cannibal wooden ship, but this was also relative.
It's like the cars of later generations, the car is iron, and if you throw a stone at the car, you may make a hole, but if you use the car to hit something, even if you can still drive after the collision, the body will be deformed to a certain extent.
Once or twice may be no problem, but after a few more collisions, you will find that the strength of the body is not good.
The same is true for battleships, it may be no problem to bump occasionally, but if you hit one after another, as far as Datang's steel splicing process is concerned, the warship simply cannot withstand such a strong impact, and it is estimated that the keel will be deformed after a few times, and the warship will be scrapped at that time.
Another point is that Datang's warship is driven by a propeller, that thing is very fragile, and if it keeps hitting like this, God knows if something will get stuck on it, in case something gets stuck in the propeller, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble at that time.
So when it was discovered that the enemy had begun to counterattack, Yu Chi Baoqi decisively ordered all the battleships to open fire and launch a real attack on the big cannibals.
A group of big-headed soldiers had been waiting for a long time, and immediately rushed out after hearing the order, each rushing to their positions, dozens of new artillery pieces lifted their coats, revealing their hideous fangs.
In just a few moments, the big cannibal warships had basically rushed to the edge of the steel battleship, and the polished stones were thrown onto the warship with a dull sound.
But the steel battleship is a steel battleship after all, and the attack of the stone and bed crossbow is no different from tickling for it, and after being hit, except for a little paint, there is not even a mark left.
The big cannibals who launched the counterattack were instantly stunned, they couldn't have imagined that Datang's warship was so iron, iron! How is it possible for steel to float on the water? Isn't this thing supposed to sink when it sees water?
In fact, in their impression, Datang's ship is big, and the so-called strength is not lost, relying on this word 'big', Datang's warships can have such strong combat effectiveness.
But when the war really happened, when the steel battleship really appeared in front of the big cannibals, these big cannibals didn't even have time to react.
"Xiu Xiu Xiu ......" At the moment when the big cannibal was stunned, several figures suddenly appeared on the side of the Datang warship, and the figures seemed to be carrying something on their shoulders, but before they could realize anything, the things that those figures were carrying had already spit out a white smoke.
Then, the hull of the Great Cannibal warship shook slightly, and the earth-shattering explosion was accompanied by the rising flames, and a warship stopped.
One, two ......, Datang's attack came too suddenly, and it was too unreasonable, there was no crossbow shooting, there was no shouting and killing in the sky, just shot something silently, and then there was an explosion, and then the ship began to leak, and the boat began to sink.
Why? Why? Why didn't the iron ships of the Tang Dynasty sink, but their own wooden ships were deep? Why is that?
Countless great cannibals were swallowed by the sea with endless resentment, and many more big cannibals floated on the surface of the sea because they escaped in time.
"The ship's guns are ready to be fired, General!" As soon as the battle began, everyone on the steel battleship was excited, and the vice admiral's face turned red.
"Then what are you waiting for, attack with all your might, and send all these big cannibals to the bottom of the sea." Yu Chi Baoqi said with eyes as big as a cow.
This guy thought that he came out with the 'Sea Wolf' back then, and he was not rich in naval combat experience, and in the past few years, the 'Sea Wolf' went to Wa Island, and he had no interest in land warfare and went back to Chang'an to take care of his old man.
But everyone is a young person, watching others fighting outside, and good news is spread every day, but they can only shrink at home to nurse their children and serve their father, this feeling is strange if they are not aggrieved.
So after knowing that the South China Sea was 'fighting', Wei Chi Baoqi was the first to respond to the call, anyway, the old man of his family had already followed the Emperor Taishang to the open sea to play, and he was not interesting at home, his eldest brother was still stationed in Tianzhu, and he couldn't come back for a while, so he simply relied on the qualifications of the old 'South China Sea' to grab this task.
You must know that now it can really be called the peace of the four seas, whether it is a subject country or a neighboring country, no one dares to stand up and provoke on land, because they are all afraid, and the law of destroying people at every turn makes everyone carefully maintain relations with Datang, for fear of causing dissatisfaction with Datang.
So don't look at the generals stationed abroad in Datang, they have to be nervous, but in fact, after going back, they are also idle every day to count their legs and play.
This time, I finally met a second goods who dared to argue with Datang, and Chang'an City was almost going to quarrel, in order to compete for the place of this leader, and it can be said that Yu Chi Baoqi can come to that can also be said to be the opportunity to get out of the encirclement.
The adjutant gave the order to leave, and in a short time, several new batteries in the bow and stern of the ship began to move, the muzzles of the guns turned to reload, and the gunners stood on the gun emplacements with sledgehammers, and gave a round of fire, with a 'clang'.
The "Boom ......" cannon emitted a series of roars, and the livers of the people who shook were trembling, but it was cool!
Looking at the big cannibal warships that were still taking the opportunity to scatter around, there was a clear pause with the series of roars, and then I saw countless splashes between the opposing warships, and three of the more unlucky warships were directly blown into the sky of broken wood.
The big cannibal is fierce, but no matter how fierce it is, there is a limit, as long as people are not stupid, they will not hit the iron with their heads.
It may be said that these great cannibals dare to rush up against galloping horses, and dare to rush up against elephants, but when you are faced with an enemy who can send hundreds of people into the sky with a single shot, and they are impressed, bitten and can't even be seen, what can they do?
