Chapter 565: Together
Shi Chong was not swayed by the temporary victory, he was the captain, and there were still a huge number of enemy ships in front of the Shi Wansui, and he knew that the battle behind him would be even more brutal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Vanzai then charged eastward, the guns on both wings kept roaring, and destroyed another gunboat, there was no way to get too close to the Vanzai, it was simply the most popular short-range bombardment of the Thiago can opener, and it was much more difficult to miss at such a close distance than to hit.
Bang, the Vanzai bravely smashed the bow of a fireship almost entirely, and it itself continued to rush towards the east.
Looking at the rampaging Broken Army warship in front of him, Chen Hui simply hated it very much, in a short period of time, this Xiyi warship had destroyed several Zheng family warships, it was like entering a no-man's land, and it must not be allowed to continue to run rampant.
Chen Hui ordered several nearby gunboats to surround and annihilate this warship, even if they let go of several nearby warships, they would also annihilate this Ming warship.
The three ships rushed towards the Shi Wansui from the front of the left and the right from the front, of course they were not stupid, the side fire of the Broken Battleship was too powerful, and approaching from the side was looking for abuse.
Shi Chong had already seen the three battleships dozens of steps ahead, but he couldn't dodge, if he turned to the side of the gun, maybe the side guns only had one chance to fire, and the three battleships would collide, then the Shi Wansui was in danger of capsizing.
Shi Chong's decision is to meet it, and it's just a big deal to engage in a shipside battle.
Both sides are indomitable, full of hatred and war, hedged against each other.
The blue water next to the Shi Wansui was pressed up, and with the white droplets, the Shi Wansui slid towards the three Zheng family warships with the wind power.
Shi Chong saw that the sea in front of the battleship was getting narrower and narrower, "Avoid artillery, avoid artillery." ”
Boom, the bow gun of the Vanzai delivered the final blow, and then all the gunners withdrew.
The cannon hit the bow of the battleship directly ahead, and a large hole appeared in the bow, causing the battleship to stumble and slow down somewhat.
Boom, boom, the bow guns of the two Zhengjia gunboats also fired, they had more bow guns, but their warships were in a lower position, and they couldn't directly bombard the deck, and their projectiles were bombarded in the lower cabin of the bow of Shi Wansui.
It was the place where the troughs and grain were kept, and because they were so close, the projectiles of the three nine-pounder guns broke into the ship's hull and destroyed almost all of the compartments.
"Hit the ship, caught." The first mate and the boatswain shouted loudly.
There were two loud bangs, and the Vanzai jolted violently, and almost everyone fell to the ground, the impact was too violent, and then there was a loud bang.
Another Zhengjia gunboat collided with it, and the Shi Wansui shook violently again.
At this time, the sailors of the two Zheng gunboats, which were the first to hit, began to rush to the side of the ship with shouts, and they hooked the fenders of the bow of the Shi Wansui with iron hooks.
However, the sailors of the Vanzai experienced two major impacts and fell down twice before they completely got up.
All the more than fifty people in armor were lined up, and all the front was protected by iron shields, and the musketeers had already been loaded, and immediately began to bombard the sailors of a Zheng gunboat.
Bang bang, a large stream of smoke and dust rose from the small military formation, and the Zheng family gunboat on the far right was busy hooking the side of the ship, and the Zheng family sailors connected by ropes immediately fell nearly half.
They howled and fell into the sea or rolled on the deck.
Bang bang bang, the soldiers of the Zheng family on the three warships also returned fire with firearms, although there was an iron shield to protect them, but such a close blow made the iron shield crooked, and the projectiles behind it still drilled into the battle formation, and the five armored ones fell on the deck.
The musketeers of the Breaker Army stepped back to reload, while the musketeers on the three ships of the Zheng family immediately threw away their muskets and began to climb the Shi Wansui with the other soldiers.
The Shi Wansui warship is larger, but his center of gravity is low and flat, and the Fu ship is sharp at both ends, and the Zheng family warship is more than a foot lower than the Shi Wansui, and these Zheng family soldiers just jumped onto the bow of Shi Wansui with just one side of the ship.
The armor of the Breakers did not go to the bow of the ship to volley, and the place was too narrow for their formation, and the front line would attract the enemy's firearms and crossbows.
The sailors of the Zheng family can't wear heavy armor because they have to rely on the gang to fight, and some people are even shirtless, and the weapons in their hands have long knives, iron shields, spears and harpoons, not that the Zheng family is not worthy of unified armor, but these sailors from the wild road are used to their own things, and the Zheng family is helpless with other things that are not smooth.
These sailors roared and rushed up, they have fought countless bloody battles with the Dutch, Liu Xiang, Li, Xing Bin and other large groups of enemies in the past ten years, although they have experienced repeatedly, but the final victor is the Zheng family, and the sailors of the Zheng family are also the most proud, not to mention the artillery battle, just to say that they rely on the bloody battle, they call themselves second, no one dares to call the first.
In addition, now that they rule the entire coastal area of Fujian, they are indeed proud and slow, and they sneer at the neatly lined up army formations in front of them.
But this time their experience was completely useless.
As soon as Fang fought, the sailors of the Zheng family in front were assassinated by the spears behind the iron shield.
Of course, the spear of the sailor division is not the spear of the infantry team, only the general length of the spear of the infantry team, but it is also a proper long weapon, plus the neat stabbing of the armor, as soon as the battle is made, the sailors of the Zheng family pay the price of blood, more than ten sailors screamed and fell to the ground, and they were just injured in the armor of the two broken soldiers.
The sailors of the Zheng family in the back performed I don't believe in evil, and they continued to rush up frantically, hoping that the ferocious momentum could shake the fighting spirit of the armor-breaking army, and indeed nearly a hundred opponents with murder weapons roaring and impacting could indeed produce great pressure, making people wonder if they could win in the end.
However, the battle-hardened Breakers remained unmoved, and they mechanically swung their spears under the orders of the commander, stabbing all their approaching opponents to the ground.
More than twenty sailors fell to the ground and fought for their lives, and the deck was filled with the sound of miserable howls.
At this time, the firecrackers opened fire on the enemy from the gap, killing nearly ten Zheng family sailors, and the Breaker Army only paid the price of five or six casualties, and the soldiers behind made up for the positions of the casualties.
All this finally made the fanatical Zheng family sailors finally cool down, damn, these Ming troops are too hard.
They finally stopped being arrogant and arrogant, and began to think about finding the weakness of the small army formation of the Broken Army.
When the Zheng family navy calmed down, the situation was uncomfortable for the armor soldiers of the captive army, and there were not many artillery on the warships of the Zheng family's navy division, and there were many sailors who were preparing for the broadside battle.
The three warships combined had more than 200 people, less than 300 people, which was several times the armor of the captive army.
The ships of the Naval Division of the Broken Army were mainly based on artillery battles, and the gunners accounted for the majority, so the number of armor was limited, which was to fall into disadvantage.
The sailors of the Zheng family, who came up from behind, were not in a hurry to attack, and took advantage of the numerical advantage to surround them from three sides.
Then they began to besiege from three sides, which made the armor on the Vanse extremely headache, after all, the number of people was limited, earlier they could only defend one side, but now they are facing the enemy on three sides.
Although there is a side where there are less than 10 enemies due to the limited space on the deck, you have to be on guard, and this is to contain the manpower.
This time, the sailors of the Zheng family began to attack both sides under the order of the bow of the ship, and this time the bloody battle between the two sides became fierce.
Soon, nearly half of the armor of the captives was killed or wounded, and they also cost the enemy sixty or seventy men.
There were only more than 100 enemies left, but there were only about 20 people in the armor of the Shi Wansui, and the military formation almost ceased to exist at this time, and even Shi Chong drew his long knife to fight.
Seeing that the whole army was about to be annihilated, the gunners in the lower cabin took out long knives, spears, and firearms from the armory and swarmed to help in the battle.
At once, there was no military formation on the deck, no organization, just a fight against each other, at most a group of two or three people gathered together to fight the enemy.
On the deck, the cries of the soldiers and armor clashing with the casualties, and the sound of shouting and fighting rang out everywhere.
The number of people on both sides who can still stand has been greatly reduced, and at this time, more than 20 sailors of the Broken Army have also joined in, and at this time any voyage is nonsense, if the ship is not protected, is it still useful for others.
In any case, under the wave of reinforcements from the sailors and gunners of the Vancel, the Broken Army soldiers of the Vanzai finally killed and wounded all the enemy, but there were less than twenty soldiers left on the Vanzai Piercing.
The entire deck can be described as a mountain of blood corpses, and the entire deck is soaked with blood, and the entire Shi Wansui is full of blood, which makes people feel disgusting.
The rest of the Breakers stood on each other's back, none of them all.
Shi Chong's right arm was cut into a big hole, and the armor was turned over, and the flesh inside was rolling, and blood was still flowing.
With a thud, the remaining Breakers fell to the ground.
A Zheng gunboat rammed into the stern of the Shi Wansui, and the Shi Wansui was shaken.
Zheng Qiu led more than 100 Zheng family soldiers to board the Shi Wansui with great momentum, and when they passed the back deck, they killed more than a dozen sailors who resisted the Broken Army.
Shi Chong and the others supported each other to stand up, facing the fierce enemy.
Zheng Qiu commanded his men to go down the deck and control the artillery as he walked forward, and the heavy artillery of the Ming people was what they wanted the most, and they had been salivating about this for a long time.
Zheng Qiu covered his mouth and nose and led the soldiers to Shi Chong and the others approached, and he looked at the soldiers of the Broken Army who were standing unsteadily in front of him.
"Put down your weapons and surrender, Ben will spare you and not die."
Zheng Qiu looked like a charity, shouting in his Fujian official dialect, his expression was extremely impatient.
To tell the truth, if it weren't for the Zheng family's extreme concern for Zhao Lie's subordinates and their ignorance of the sudden and mysterious appearance of this group of soldiers, Zheng Zhilong told him to make some living, just because these broken army soldiers killed so many Zheng family soldiers, Zheng Qiu had the mind to break these people.
"You're a fucking dream." Shi Chong laughed wildly, glanced at Zheng Qiu contemptuously, and then shouted at the soldiers, "Brothers, we are not ashamed of the Broken Army, we are worthy of the Iron Army that broke the Japanese Invaders, let's go on the road together." ”
"Let's hit the road together." The other brothers also echoed it, not shouting in unison, but they were also extremely resolute, and they could trust it because of the fact that Lord Zhao had placed them behind them.
Zheng Qiu was simply speechless, he was really embarrassed, this adult really couldn't blame him, "Come on, behead them all to show the public." ”
The soldiers under his command rushed up, while Shi Chong and the others looked at Zheng Qiu and the others gloatingly, making Zheng Qiu and the others both angry and inexplicable, boom, boom, the sound of violent explosions erupted from the lower deck, and the entire upper deck could not withstand such a big impact, and the whole collapsed.
Zheng Qiu only understood the expressions of these soldiers the moment his body fell into the sea of fire, but it was a pity that he could die together. (To be continued.) )
