Chapter 361: Keep Coming? Keep beating you!
It turned out that in addition to Lao Guo's Haicang ship, there were four other Haicang ships that were caught in the enemy's shelling. These four Haicang ships were originally following Lao Guo's ships, and the distance between them was only less than fifty zhang. Finding that Lao Guo was attacked, they immediately retreated. However, due to the relationship between the habitual surname, the warship had to turn around and continue to move forward for a certain distance.
The ship turned around, but there was no such thing as retreating, and it had to go around in a big circle and turn its course before it could be withdrawn. As a result, they had to get close to the location of Lao Guo's shipwreck. Obviously, this is a terrible distance. If they break into Lao Guo's position, they may be attacked by the enemy. For this reason, all the captains of the ships roared desperately, asking their ships to turn as much as possible.
So, the four pirate ships, all full of rudder turns. For a time, all four pirate ships were seriously tilted. Due to the severe tilt of the boats, a large amount of sea water was pushed out of the waves by them. For a while, the waves pushed away by them rolled in, as if they were bursts of tides. Due to the severe tilt of the four pirate ships, the debris on the ship was tumbling everywhere, and things kept falling into the sea, splashing high. However, the four captains were secretly relieved that they had finally not come within the enemy's range.
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
"Tom tom!"
However, at this very moment, the fierce cannon fire seemed to be a little unusual. The pirates hurried to look over, and were surprised to find that the two monsters, covered in cannons, seemed to be firing at them.
"Shoot at us?"
"Can you hit this far?
"Is it a waste of shells or is it a threat to us?"
Some pirates scoffed at the two monsters and gave them a dismissive.
The average Francophone gun has a firing range of only about three miles. Now, they have not come within three miles. What effect can those two monsters have if they fire from outside the range? Lao Guo is also too unlucky, and if he is not careful, he will end up with the ship being destroyed and people killed.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, however, the pirates noticed that something was wrong.
Cannonball...... How did you appear on top of your head? It's not good...... "Hide!" ”
"Hide!"
"Hide!"
The pirates screamed in panic and scrambled to find a place to hide.
Unfortunately, it was already late.
One after another, solid bullets landed heavily on their warship, knocking them over on the ship. There are even pirates who fall into the sea when they are evading, and their life and death are uncertain. With such a cold sea, if he couldn't come up quickly, his life would really be frozen.
"Ahh
"Ahh
"Ahh
Suddenly the pirates burst into screams.
In addition to directly smashing pirates to death, the solid bullets also had a large number of flying wood chips. These sawdust are the real killers when the people are dense, and their power is second only to grapeshot. Just now, the pirates scoffed at the two monsters and dismissed them, and quite a few of them gathered on the deck. As a result, the flying sawdust has found its own target.
A piece of sawdust splattered into the crotch of a pirate's pants, and he immediately clutched his nakedness, rolling in pain on the deck, wailing. Another pirate was hit directly in the face by sawdust, and suddenly a piece of flesh and blood blurred. Another pirate was hit by the flying sawdust and hit other parts of the body, bleeding profusely, and the same screams were terrible.
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
"Poof!"
Someone fell straight into the sea.
You don't need to ask to know that it was the pirates standing on the edge of the deck who lost control of their bodies and fell directly into the sea after being hit by the wood chips. There are also some pirates who, because of their panic, slip and fall directly into the sea. There was splatters of blood and splashes of water all over the deck, which blended together and became lubricants.
Originally, these pirate ships thought that as long as they did not come within the range of three miles, there would be no problem. Unexpectedly, the enemy's artillery firing distance, which was obviously more than three miles, actually bombarded their ship directly with solid shells. Although the number of solid bullets that fell was not very large, it was enough to deter them. God, the enemy's artillery is actually beyond the range of three miles! How is this possible?
"Hongyi cannon?"
"Could it be the Hongyi Cannon?"
"Zhang Zhun is actually using the Hongyi cannon?"
As soon as I thought of the four words of Hongyi Cannon, all the pirates couldn't help but feel terrified! Where, apart from the Hongyi cannon, could there be such a long range? God, fortunately, the speed of his steering is relatively fast, otherwise, under the bombardment of the Hongyi cannon, it will soon be over.
One of the pirate ships was swept near the mast with solid bullets, and the situation was even worse. One of the sailors above was hit by a solid bullet impartially, and he was directly shot into the sea from mid-air, making a splash. The other pirates turned around and saw that there was nothing to be seen but a puddle of blood red.
"U-turn!"
"Hurry up and turn around!"
"If you don't retreat, it's too late!"
The captain of the pirate ship hurriedly shouted.
The sailmen of the four ships hurriedly adjusted the sails and desperately turned around, trying to evacuate the battlefield.
Lao Guo's tragedy is just around the corner, and they don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
"Stupid!"
"Just thinking about running away!"
Shen Lingfei frowned lightly and said in a low voice.
Even a layman in naval warfare, Shen Lingfei could see it. It is not easy for these pirate ships to turn around at this time. As a frequent sailor trader, she naturally knows the range and distance required for a ship to turn around. A warship is not a warhorse, and it only takes a small circle to turn around. The warship turned around and needed a large sea area. At the moment, there is not much room for maneuver at the entrance to Mawan.
In addition, the Corsair was still in a situation where it was bombarded and turned around. The enemy's shells kept falling, and instead of trying to form up and quickly return fire, they wanted to turn around. This is equivalent to someone else's knife has been cut over, you don't want to resist, you just want to turn around and run, but you can't run fast, it's strange not to be cut to the ground by someone else's knife. If not, maybe there will be ships colliding with each other. When the time comes, it will be even worse.
In fact, the pirates did not understand this truth. If you don't fight back after being beaten, the consequences are indeed very serious. However, Lao Guo's lesson is just around the corner, where do they dare to continue to move forward? Wouldn't it be worse if the enemy's barrage of shells fell and sank them directly? If the ship sank, in such cold waters, they would have been frozen into ice for a while at most. Although retreating will have to suffer certain losses, it can avoid the fate of the shipwreck and save the lives of most people. The pirate's angle of seeing the problem was different from Shen Lingfei's, so he naturally reacted differently.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, two ships collided together.
The loud crash, which even drowned out the sound of the cannons, was heard by everyone around.
As a result of the violent impact, both ships leaned heavily towards each other, and as a result, the masts of both ships leaned towards each other. In the end, the two tall masts were actually entangled together. On the mast there are a lot of ropes, and once these ropes are entangled in the opponent's mast, they cannot be untied at all, and can only be cut with an axe.
Due to the force of the impact, both ships trembled constantly, and a large number of white sprays rolled out. As a result, the sailors on the mast were caught off guard and stood unsteadily, and one by one they fell like dumplings. Some sailors fell directly on the deck, and naturally fell into meat sauce on the spot. If you are lucky, you will fall on someone else's body and crush the people below to death, but you will have nothing to do. The most unfortunate sail fell impartially between the two ships, and as the two ships squeezed, they were completely crushed like ants. The person next to him pulled hard, but only pulled up the lower half of his body, and the lower half of his body didn't know where it went.
The captains of the two ships were in a hurry, and their faces turned blue. The masts are entwined, and it's a terrible thing. This caused both ships to constantly tilt and lose their balance severely. If one is not good, both ships will capsize together. At the same time, both masts have the possibility of breaking. Once the mast is broken and the warship loses its ability to maneuver, it will be another old Guo! Damn! It's terrible!
"Quick!"
"Cut the cable!"
"Cut all the cables!"
The captains of both pirate ships were in a hurry to spark.
The pirate sailors also realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly carried the axes on their backs and staggered onto the mast. As soon as they went up, they wielded their axes and cut off all the cables that were bound together in order to loosen the two masts. After cutting a few ropes, the two masts were finally able to separate a little. However, there are still a lot of ropes that are still entangled.
"Look! The pirate ships really crashed together! ”
Shen Lingfei exclaimed in surprise and joy.
"They panicked."
Zhang Zhun said calmly.
Indeed, the two pirate ships collided with each other solely for reasons of panic. Faced with a sudden attack, the pirate ship in the east tried to fill the rudder on the left, and the pirate ship on the west tried to fill the rudder on the right, and they collided together. You can think of what will happen if two warships collide with each other. Fortunately, neither ship was fast, and the collision did not cause substantial damage. Otherwise, as soon as a hole was punched in the side of the ship, they themselves sank without the fire of the Tiger Army's navy. However, they were squeezed together with each other, but they gave the Tiger Ben Navy the best shooting target.
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
"Fire!"
Whether it was Yang Guohua or Zhou Zhengyu, they all shouted excitedly.
The target they were going to focus on was, of course, two pirate ships ramming into each other. Due to the impact, the two pirate ships were temporarily unable to maneuver quickly, and could only be beaten passively. How can you let go of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
