Chapter 753: Naval Battle in the Storm (Part II)

The huge bow of the Ningzhou broke through the turbulent waves, rushed forward without hesitation, several 5,000 warships of the Dingzhou Navy Division crossed an arc, sliding more than 100 meters from his left and right sides, the moment the ships staggered, the stone cannons arranged on the side between the enemy and us suddenly opened fire, and countless stone projectiles crossed the rain curtain and hit the opponent's ship, so close to the distance, and the firing speed of the stone cannons was far better than that of the trebuchet, the two sides had no way to avoid it, and could only let the hull bear it.

Although the Ningzhou has reduced its armament in order to pursue speed, it is also compared to the Qiyuan, and he is still a behemoth in front of other warships. Several Dingzhou warships were shot one after another, and suddenly wood chips flew on board, and countless stone cannons were destroyed in this instant. The sailors bombarded their heads with stones, and the sawdust on the ship fell to the ground.

The ships staggered by, and the Dingzhou Navy Division suffered great losses on the ships, but the Ningzhou was not easy, although the Dingzhou had many cannons, but it was scattered shooting, and several Dingzhou 5,000 warships were concentrating their forces to attack the Dingzhou, plus the Qiyuan in the distance was still the same as before, not caring about the opponent's small ships at all, and concentrating firepower to hit him, which made his damage far more than the opponent.

The rain was pouring down, Deng Peng stood on the command platform, the rain flowed down the helmet to his face, and then dripped onto the armor, seeing the Ningzhou desperately approaching him, he smiled coldly, "Keep your distance and continue to strike!" ＂

Qiao Guohua is the captain of the 3,000 warship Tail Fire Tiger, he is the old man of the original Fuzhou Naval Division, when Deng Peng returned to Shundingzhou, he was only a small sentry commander of the Fuzhou Naval Division, a few years have passed, the batch of *** of the Fuzhou Naval Division has become an officer, and he is now General Xuanwei, commanding the Tail Fire Tiger as the last barrier of the Qiyuan. Like him, there are three other 3,000-material warships that bear the burden of escorting the Qiyuan, namely the Jiaomu Jiao, the Keishui Leopard, and the Fighting Golden Bull.

Seeing the Ningzhou cleaving the waves and approaching the Qiyuan, Qiao Guohua gave an order hoarsely in the wind and rain, and the Tailing Fire Tiger turned slightly in the wind and waves, facing the behemoth Ningzhou from one side.

"Shoot! With the sword in Qiao Guohua's hand slashed hard, the eight-bull crossbow placed in the bow of the ship made a choking sound, a crossbow arrow as thick as a child's arm dragged a long rope to fly towards Ningzhou, snatched, the crossbow arrow pierced deeply into the boat, the other end of the rope was tied to the tail fire tiger, the tail fire tiger immediately slammed the rudder, the whole ship in the wind and waves threw a big bend, the whole ship almost touched the water on one side, but the other side was raised high, almost exposing the belly of the ship to the water.

At this moment, the second crossbow bolt flew out, and the long rope straightened, pulling the capsized ship back, and at this time, the entire ship of the Tailed Fire Tiger had been dragged behind the Ningzhou.

After a few snatches, two more crossbow arrows with ropes flew out and pierced the hull of the Ningzhou.

"Rope! Qiao Guohua shouted.

More than a dozen sailors shouted in unison, desperately turning the winch with the rope attached, the four ropes tightened together, and the Tailing Tiger quickly approached the Ningzhou.

Compared with the Ningzhou, the Taihuo Tiger is like a toy, but this toy is extremely dangerous, because the three thousand warships are smaller, only one large trebuchet can be arranged, and the rest are mostly stone cannons, at this time, while rapidly approaching the Ningzhou, while desperately pouring up the stone cannons, as for the trebuchet, only one shot was fired, but because of the angle, it lost its effect.

The officers and soldiers on the Ningzhou immediately found that their ship had an extra tail, looking at the rapidly approaching enemy ship, an officer on the Ningzhou couldn't help but lose color, at this time, the powerful long-range weapons on the Ningzhou had lost their effect, the distance of the other party was too close, and the distance was visually measured, and between two or three breaths, the two ships would be connected. Of course, the Ningzhou is too tall for the other party, and the other party has to climb up if they want to take over the ship.

"Prepare the machete! He commanded in a loud voice.

With a bang, a line of soldiers with broadswords quickly rushed to the side of the ship, and if the opponents wanted to climb onto the ship, they had to use ropes and the like, and these broadswords were prepared for them.

At the same time that the Taihuo Tiger was rapidly approaching the Ningzhou, the three battleships Jiaomujiao, Jishui Leopard, and Doujin Niu took the same approach and quickly approached the Ningzhou.

Pang Jun stood on the command platform, he didn't seem to see that the opponent's battleship had approached his own ship, he stared at the opponent's Qiyuan, but the Qiyuan was slowly retreating at this time, although the distance between the two sides was close, but to catch up with the opponent, it obviously took time.

At this time, the firepower on the Qiyuan had begun to shift, and it was no longer staring at itself, but turning the target of the attack to its own fleet. Under the cover of the Qiyuan's powerful firepower, the other ships of the Dingzhou Naval Division quickly approached their own troops.

Pang Jun has already figured out Deng Peng's method of using the giant ship at this time, that is, it is used as a huge support combat platform on the sea, similar to the role that the tall city behind him can play when the army fights according to the city on land, compared to his own combat method, Pang Jun has to admit that the other party's system is effective, at least so far, although he has an advantage in the number of warships, but it is the opponent who has the upper hand on the battlefield, The battle damage is much higher than that of your opponent.

However, as long as you defeat the Qiyuan here, the situation on the battlefield will be reversed.

Pang Jun kept giving orders, and the sailors and helmsmen moved the direction and adjusted the sails from time to time according to Pang Jun's instructions, so that the Ningzhou was still accelerating even in such a big wind and waves. This is Pang Jun's decades of experience at sea, the degree of grasp of the wind direction and waves, if he is called second, then no one in the world dares to call it first.

Deng Peng can't either.

"Do you want to take on the board? Deng Peng laughed, "Dingzhou soldiers are in the world, you want to take the side hand-to-hand combat, but it is in my arms." Deng Peng is not afraid of fighting on the side of the board, but he definitely does not want to let the bow of the Ningzhou hit his hull before the board, at this time, through Pang Jun's continuous adjustment of course, the huge hull of the Ningzhou has turned to the other side of the Qiyuan, and the angle of the bow of the ship has been aimed at the side of the Qiyuan.

Qiao Guohua's tail fire tiger finally approached the Ningzhou, looking up at the high hull of the Yaozhou, Qiao Guohua snorted, pulled out his war knife, and roared: "Broken ship!" ＂

To the surprise of everyone on the Ningzhou, the Dingzhou soldiers of the Tailing Fire Tiger did not climb upward, but bent their bows and arrows and shot upward.

"Timber"

Bladed logs fell from the sky and slammed down on the Tail Fire Tiger, leaving the deck unrecognizable.

On the Tail Fire Tiger, a group of soldiers carrying huge axes actually began to desperately chop up the ship, and on top of the rain-like blows on the ship, the soldiers went to the soldiers, holding the giant axe, and turned over. And the archers on the ship, they shot upwards, covering this group of soldiers, the Ningzhou was condescending, naturally had the upper hand, although not any soldiers were hit by feather arrows, but compared to the casualties of the Taihuo Tiger, it was really not worth mentioning.

But soon, the general on the ship couldn't laugh, and in less than half a column of incense, the other party actually chopped the hull shell of the ship, revealing a big hole in the hull. At this time, the soldiers who had gone into the hole to cut the ship were no longer visible from the side of the ship.

Qiao Guohua held an axe in one hand, rushed in, exhaled and opened, several axes in a row, several crashes, the last wooden plank of the hull opened in response, the soldiers on the ship let out a cheer, and rushed into the broken wooden hole, the big hole they broke at this time is located in the second layer of the Dingzhou cabin, and the Ningzhou has a total of five layers.

Qiao Guohua had just rushed in, and a spear stabbed him head-on. There is no time to dodge, and there is no way to dodge, this is a narrow road, the road can only allow two people to stand side by side, and as far as the eye can see, the front of this road is already full of soldiers on the other side.

In the midst of the hurry, the big axe in his hand was raised suddenly, the wide axe was blocked in front of his chest, when there was a bang, the spear poked at the axe, and in the shouting, Qiao Guohua rushed forward, and the spear on the axe snapped, Qiao Guohua pounced, and the axe in his hand was sent forward, smashed on the opponent's chest, threw away the axe in his hand, and pulled out the short blade from his waist.

There is no way to dodge in the corridor, so you can only fight for your life.

Outside the ship, the horned wood Jiao approached the Ningzhou, and countless ropes flew up and put them on the Ningzhou, and then one by one the soldiers bit the steel knives in their mouths, and the ants attached them. From time to time, ropes were cut and soldiers screamed and fell, and from time to time, soldiers on the Ningzhou were shot by bows and arrows below and fell off the boat.

Deng Peng had to admire Pang Jun's attainments in water warfare, this kind of grasp of the wind and waves was indeed beyond his reach, he had done his best, but he still couldn't get rid of the fact that the other party hit his hull directly, and shook his head, "Jiang is old and spicy, and he is right, retreat at full speed."

The wind and waves at sea are getting bigger and bigger at this time, and the strong wind rolls up the waves, and some small boats do not operate properly, so they overturn the huge waves, sink to the bottom of the waves, and never float again. At this time, both sides suffered heavy losses, and Deng Peng saw with his own eyes that one of his 5,000-material warships was broken and the keel of the hull was broken, and the hull was broken into two and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Compared with the losses of their own side, the losses of the other side are greater, as long as the two sides fight on the side, the excellent equipment of the Dingzhou Navy Division will immediately gain the upper hand, it cannot but be said that the other side soldiers are not brave, but the close combat ability of the Dingzhou soldiers is indeed unmatched.

At this time, the Kaitai, another battle group, had completely disappeared in front of Deng Peng's eyes, the wind and waves were too strong, the rain was too rapid, and the distance that could be seen by his eyes was no longer enough for Deng Peng to understand the battle situation in the other direction.

However, Deng Peng is not worried about the Kaitai at all, the commander of the Kaitai is also a veteran of the Navy, it turned out to be a general of the Fuzhou Navy, although it is not as good as Zheng Zhiyuan and Yin Ning, but it is a very stable general, there is no veteran like Pang Jun over there, he can hold on, but the focus of the battle is on his side.
