Chapter 658: Wash Your Neck and Wait for Death! (Page 1/1)
No matter how powerful the early sun cannon is, it is impossible to sink such a large battleship unless it hits near the waterline. But then the English counterattack Exocet Clipper will definitely not be able to withstand it, look at the dense gun windows on the side of the enemy ship, you can see that the English must also be extremely good at gunnery.
Ge Yi looked at the England warships that were getting closer and closer, and a bold idea came to his mind. It's just that this idea is a bit too risky, and if you don't get it right, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.
At this moment, the fastest Exocet Clipper had rushed to the middle of the English warship, and the captain of the Exocet Clipper was very brave.
Rushing directly into the middle of the enemy ships known as Death Canyon, the ship's guns opened fire almost simultaneously, without any consideration of the ship's endurance.
In the smoke of gunfire, the hull of the Exocet clipper kept shaking, and it was almost shattered keel. But he also achieved some success, the Prince of Wales on the left was hit by a 24-pounder sunset cannon, and a huge hole was suddenly opened in the side side.
The rest of the 9-pounder guns failed to penetrate the plank, but they shattered the planks of the battleship. The English, who were also shocked, broke out in a cold sweat, but the results were limited to that.
Although the Prince of Wales was shocked by the heavy damage and the firepower of the Exocet clipper, it was also obvious that the small boat was already at the end of its power.
The result of such reckless firing was that the Exocet Clipper was almost destroyed, and even if it was ignored, it would inevitably sink. But when the English were beaten, they did not fight back, and immediately launched a counterattack while being shelled.
The thin body of the Exocet clipper could not withstand the counterattack of the two English warships, and it was reduced to pieces in a burst of cannonballs. Very few of the more than 100 Changxing Navy on board survived, and most of them died heroically with the battleship.
Seeing this, Ge Yi ripped off his shirt and strode to the bow of the boat, shouting: "England red-haired ghost! Lao Tzu fought with you!
Three virtues! You kid fastened the whaling cannon to the bow of the ship, and tied the speargun with the thickest cable. Wait a minute, if the rope is broken, Lao Tzu will engage in military law! ”
It was the first mate on this ship who was called Sandezi, although he wondered what Ge Yi wanted to do with the whaling cannon. But at this critical juncture, he did not ask questions, but resolutely carried out the captain's orders.
Dozens of soldiers and sailors acted together, and the whaling guns were quickly fixed. Sandezi was not worried that the whaling cannon was not fixed enough and not strong enough, and he also used a thick cable to tie the whaling cannon like a zongzi in a circle left and right.
The other Changxing Navy sailors were also very curious, they didn't know what their captain was going to do? At this time, the use of whaling cannons was to kill the English battleships as whales?
It's a battleship, how useful can the whaling guns be? Even if it was a shot, the force of the tear alone would have caused the Exocet Clipper to fall apart.
Ge Yi ignored the surprised eyes of the sailors, and ordered loudly: "Since I, Ge Yi, followed the commander, I have never been a bad seed in every battle!" This time is no exception, when intercepting the English battleship, it is a life and death work, and those who are scared can leave at any time! ”
Seeing that everyone didn't move, Ge Yi continued: "Wait a minute, everyone except for the Chuyang Artillery Team and the first mate in charge of the rudder, everyone else will go and pick up their weapons and prepare for the battle to seize the ship!" ”
The soldiers were stunned by Ge Yi's words, and many of them showed puzzled expressions. Going in the direction of the high-speed English battleship, how could it be possible to board the enemy ship?
Although he did not understand Ge Yi's orders, the long-term obedience still made the soldiers obey the orders. Even the artillery crews that operated the artillery picked up steel knives and were ready to fight at any moment.
While they were preparing, two more Exocet clippers approached the English battleship. Everyone had a very tacit understanding and aimed the main attack on the Prince of Wales.
Everyone understands the truth that it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, and since he has already injured the Prince of Wales, take advantage of his illness to kill him.
One of the two Exocet clippers was the first to be hit by the English Navy before it could fire, and although it was reduced to pieces before it could fire a shell, it also attracted fire to the Exocet clippers behind it.
The Flying Fish Clipper that followed all aimed the first sun cannon at the Prince of Wales, and two large holes appeared on his side, and the Prince of Wales became precarious in an instant.
The successive heavy losses have already damaged the keel of the Prince of Wales, and if it persists, it is likely to be sunk by the continuous Exocet clippers.
Weddell's eyes widened, he didn't expect that the Clippers he looked down on had such powerful heavy artillery. Although there are only two heavy guns on a single battleship, how many ants bite and kill elephants!
The Prince of Wales is a prime example of this, and a few more hits will have to be sunk. As he hesitated to withdraw from the battle on the Prince of Wales, two more Exocet clippers rushed up.
Ge Yi stood behind the whaling cannon in the bow of the ship, his eyes fixed on the English battleship. However, his target was not the dying Prince of Wales, but the Liverpool, which had been battered and damaged on the side of the ship.
Watching one of the Exocet clippers rush towards the Liverpool, Weddell finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the two clippers don't attack at the same time, the Prince of Wales will have no problem protecting itself.
At the end, a flying fish clipper couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Wang Lang's actions, he couldn't understand what Ge Yi was going to do. Why not let the badly wounded battleship not attack, but gnaw the hard bone of the Liverpool.
After hesitating, he still rushed to the Prince of Wales, which was already clearly behind, and stopping at least one enemy ship was the goal that the few of them had at least discussed.
Now that Ge Yi has made his choice, he will completely destroy the Prince of Wales. Otherwise, the brothers on the first three Exocet clippers would have died in vain, and that was an opportunity created with more than 300 lives, and he couldn't just give it up so easily.
When the captain of the Liverpool saw Ge Yi rushing over, he was inexplicably nervous. He didn't think that that little clipper could pose a threat to himself, and even with that kind of heavy artillery, it would not be able to sink an English battleship in one or two strokes.
The sailors on the Prince of Wales, on the other hand, were so frightened that they turned pale, and a series of blows had already cost them dearly.
A row of huge holes in the side had already made him lose his combat effectiveness, and the captain had been forced to lower the sails on the top stage in order not to let the battleship fall apart.
The artillery deck was even more in shambles, and the gunners suffered heavy casualties. Two-thirds of the ship's guns could not be fired, and if it were not for the danger, the captain would probably have ordered the ship to abandon and escape.
A cannonball landed in front of the Exocet clipper, and the splash of sea water was already on Ge Yi's face. But Ge Yi's face showed a crazy smile: "It's too close!" Red-haired mongrel! Wash your neck and wait for death! ”
