The patrol gunboats rushed forward to the sparse shells. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhuo Shijie ordered the standard-bearer to signal the eight-oared boat behind him to move away from the cliff where the fort was installed, and to reduce his speed.
Amid the rumbling of the enemy's guns, the 25-mm naval guns finally opened fire.
It's just that its target is not enemy ships, but constantly flying shells.
Since enemy artillery was not rifled, it was difficult to calculate the trajectory of their shells and to determine where the shells would land, so Jack could only shoot stray bullets that could pose a threat to the gunboats for safety.
"Sudden Sudden ......" shells flew into the air and fired directly at enemy projectiles in the air.
Listening to the sound of 25mm naval guns, Zhuo Shijie really felt sorry for these shells.
Suddenly, the enemy's artillery fire stopped.
Zhuo Shijie was happy in his heart, the enemy's artillery had all fired a round, and it was a gap at this time.
After the opponent's artillery was fired, it took too long to reload the ammunition.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, without Zhuo Shijie's order, Andre was already running at full power and driving at full speed.
Seeing that the enemy ship was getting closer and closer, Zhuo Shijie ordered: "After entering the range of the artillery, open fire immediately!" ā
"Tutu Tu Tu ......" fired a series of artillery fire at the nearest enemy Cantonese ship.
How does a Cantonese ship with a displacement of less than a hundred tons compare with a Spanish galleon of 500 tons? Only a dozen shells tore apart the hull of a Cantonese ship.
The wooden hull of the small-tonnage Guangdong ship was very fragile, and after being shot, a large amount of seawater poured in, and in the blink of an eye, it was seriously tilted, and it completely lost its combat effectiveness. The ship's crew had no fighting spirit, and they were all busy trying to escape for their lives before the ship sank.
When the soldiers on the gunboat saw this, they all cheered.
"Hit! Sink them all! ā
"Fuck it!"
Zhuo Shijie was not happy, because at this time, the artillery on the enemy ship was almost loaded.
Sure enough, the guns of the remaining three enemy ships opened fire again.
The naval guns on the gunboat had to aim their guns in the air again to defend and intercept.
After a round of anti-air strikes, Zhuo Shijie asked Jack urgently: "How many shells are left?" ā
"There are only 55 shells left."
Zhuo Shijie was ruthless: "There must be enough shells to sink the opponent's three boats!" ā
He turned and ran to the wheelhouse and said to Andrei: "Continue to approach the enemy ship!" ā
In order to reduce the consumption of ammunition, Jack could only reduce the attack on stray bullets in the air, and as a result, everyone on the gunboat was in danger, and on two occasions, the stray bullets grazed the edge of the gunboat and fell into the sea, which was dangerous.
In the rain of stray bullets, Jack took time to attack another Cantonese ship.
The poor Cantonese ship, in order to maximize the power of the ship's guns, has always exposed the largest flanks of the target to the front of the gunboat.
Jack's shooting skills are naturally reassuring, and after a round of artillery fire, the second Guangdong ship was immediately disabled!
Originally, in order to put pressure on Zhuo Shijie's gunboats, these four Guangdong ships fired one after another when they opened fire.
The two Cantonese ships were crippled, which caused their firepower to drop sharply, and the pressure on Zhuo Shijie's gunboats suddenly lightened.
"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord! Keep playing! Hit me hard! Zhuo Shijie finally saw the dawn of victory.
At this time, Zhuo Shijie's gunboats had long been far away from those forts on the cliff, and the ten forts had become decorations.
The black whirlwind stood on the cliff, watching his two Cantonese ships being scrapped, and his whole heart was dripping blood.
The firepower of the other party's strange gunboat greatly exceeded his expectations.
According to previous estimates, at this time, it should have been exhausted, but why does it still have power!
"Let them ......" the word "withdraw" on the side of the Black Whirlwind's mouth, and he couldn't spit it out for a long time.
"No! Grandpa, even if I put together the coffin book, I will kill you kid! ā
He smirked and gave a new order viciously.
At this time, Zhuo Shijie's heart was relaxed.
The guns on the two Cantonese ships are all dumb, and they are hurriedly loading ammunition.
"Hit! Sink them all! ā
The 25-mm naval guns roared again.
The pirates on the two Cantonese ships had already been frightened at this time, when had they ever seen such a fierce artillery fire?
In the past naval battles, the artillery of the two sides fired at each other, and you came and went, and it took at least half a day to determine the winner and loser, but today, with only one face, the whole ship is gone!
Although they were not given the order to retreat, their ship had already begun to turn around and prepare to retreat.
However, before they could turn the ship's bow, one of the two remaining Cantonese ships was shot again!
"Mom! What the hell is this! ā
"How is this battle fought?"
"Run!"
The pirates on the three Guangdong ships that had been shot were all jumping into the sea, and even the pirates on the Guangdong ship that had not been shot began to abandon ship.
Zhuo Shijie couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, although there were a little more unexpected difficulties today, but in the end, he still won this victory with an absolute advantage.
However, suddenly, the smile on the corner of Zhuo Shijie's mouth froze.
On the eastern sea of Black Wind Island, a behemoth is slowly heading towards this side.
The eyes of everyone on the gunboat widened.
"Dutch gunboats!"
"Oh my God! How did the Dutch come! ā
Zhuo Shijie was also stunned.
The Dutch, a giant gunboat, has a displacement of at least eight hundred tons!
In this day and age, it's a super monster!
The plywood ship commonly known by the Ming people, its lower part is all double-decker, not to mention the stability of navigation, the key is that it is extremely difficult to be sunk. The double-layer hull is double-layer protection, and I am afraid that 25-mm naval guns will not be able to do anything against it.
"I'm grass! Black Whirlwind, how much enmity do I have? What did you sell in exchange for the support of the Dutch! ā
Zhuo Shijie's heart was full of 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past.
Today's battle can't be fought.
The 25-mm naval guns were almost out of shells, and it was undoubtedly a fool's dream to count on that machine gun to defeat the Dutch gunboats.
At this time, Jack didn't care what Zhuo Shijie was thinking, he only knew that Zhuo Shijie ordered to sink the opponent's Guangdong ship, and now, he just had to do what he was told.
"Sudden ......"
In the blink of an eye, Jack dumped all the remaining shells from the 25mm naval guns on the last Cantonese ship.
The pirates on the last Cantonese ship thought they could escape when they saw the Dutch gunboat finally appear, but they never expected that the nightmare still befell them.
The four Cantonese ships, none of which were spared, ended their mission in a short period of time.
All the family backgrounds of the black whirlwind, almost all of them are finished!
