Chapter Twenty-Nine: Broadside Gun Battle

[Today's second watch, there will be a third watch in the evening, so stay tuned! ] 】

"Fire!"

At the sound of an order, twelve thousand catty tiger cannons opened fire in unison. When the ships of the two sides staggered, they were no more than seventy or eighty meters away from each other, so the artillery opened fire in a direct fire. The enemy ships also pushed out their furlong machine guns, and a broadside gun battle inevitably broke out.

Knock knock!

In an instant, the sound of artillery rumbled, deafening, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, covering the sky and avoiding the sea. The shells on both sides came and went, and the fighting was particularly fierce, and the water surface of the battle in the middle suddenly boiled.

Although Deng Haonan's warship only had 12 thousand-pound tiger cannons, it was more powerful than the Fran machine guns used on the enemy ships. In particular, the enemy was poorly prepared, and the shells used were all solid shells, although the destructive power on the battleship was terrifying, but as long as it was not hit head-on, the threat to personnel was not very great. On the contrary, Deng Haonan's side was ready for a close-range artillery battle, and the first layer of artillery deck used scattered grenades, that is, they were loaded with small steel balls.

After hundreds of small steel balls were sent out of the gun chamber, they quickly fanned out the targets on the horizontal deck of the enemy ship. This kind of scattered grenade is Deng Haonan imitated the Qijia army cavalry artillery used to upgrade and improve, with a thousand jin tiger cannon as a carrier to fire, can block a hundred meters away, thirty meters wide front, later called the infantry meat grinder, at this time by Deng Haonan used in close naval combat, but it is also just right.

After a round of grenade attacks, the entire enemy ship was smashed and splintered with wood when it landed on the top of the ship. The enemy shipwrights and sailors above immediately rushed with their heads in their hands, and the flesh and blood on their backs immediately flew sideways, killing them on the spot. The slightly more clever ones will inevitably be bruised by scattered bullets, after all, the upper deck has no protection except for the women's wall, and under the cover of large areas of scattered bullets, they can hide their heads, but sacrifice their buttocks.

The second gun deck was full of flowering shells, which exploded after flying over, not only causing great damage to the enemy ships, but also flying fragments of the explosion everywhere, killing and injuring a large number of enemy gunners.

At this time, the shells fired from the No. 7 gun position happened to penetrate one of the gun emplacements of the enemy ship in front of them, and exploded violently, and the violent air wave suddenly overturned them with men and cannons, killing three of the enemy on the spot. Then, a large fire broke out at the gun emplacement, which ignited the cartridges stacked in the back.

There was a loud bang, and the violent explosion instantly shattered the one near the left. The hot waves, wrapped in shards and flames, engulfed the surrounding enemies in an instant. Suddenly, the flames were blazing, the smoke was billowing, and the entire second and third gun bays of the enemy ship were paralyzed. The screams, cries, and cries for help all come together to create a heart-rending symphony of howls.

However, this is war, treating the enemy without sympathy, and even less with pity!

Treating the enemy coldly, on the other hand, and looking at one's own people being injured, is a kind of mood. Deng Haonan was like this, he was very excited when he saw the enemy's deflated appearance. But after seeing that his own people were injured, he was very distressed.

Deng Haonan hid behind the women's wall, dodging the flying cannonballs and scattered pieces of wood. The enemy's shells were not vegetarian either, and the entire ship was smashed everywhere with holes and holes, and it was a mess. There are many brothers killed and injured, Deng Haonan prayed vigorously in his heart, don't die too much, these people are Lao Tzu's team! The heart is called a pain!

In just a few minutes, each side fired a salvo, and the two warships staggered. It can be seen that Deng Haonan's strategy was successful and successfully disabled an enemy ship.

As the enemy ship caught fire, a series of explosives caused the explosion, and the entire battleship exploded one after another, scorching the sky and thick smoke billowing out of the sea.

Then, as the tall mainmast above snapped in the explosion and smashed to the sea, the entire warship was torn down with a huge tearing force. Only a huge cracking of hardwood was heard, and the keel of the enemy ship broke, and it tilted sharply like the starboard side. Then, the starboard side of the sea poured in, and the three-masted ship began to sink.

Yes!!

The pirates on Deng Haonan's side immediately cheered, whether they were celebrating their victory or rejoicing that they had survived the catastrophe, it was unknown.

Lin Feng and Huang Zupei walked quickly to Deng Haonan, and the former said, "Master, we have succeeded!" The words were excited, and it could be seen that Lin Feng was very excited.

Huang Zupei's face was black, and his hair was a little messy. Deng Haonan knew that he commanded everyone to fire artillery below, which was the most dangerous job, and it was indispensable to eat some cannon fodder. Although he was a little wolfy, he was in good spirits, and just said, "Thank you! ”

Deng Haonan knew in his heart that it was not overnight to make the tough guy in front of him change his mind, a word of thanks, maybe it was for all the pirates, or it was for him to express a goodwill reconciliation.

Thinking of this, Deng Haonan smiled slightly and said, "This is what I should do!" ”

At this moment, Deng Haonan inadvertently glanced to the left, and suddenly found that the other warship had turned around. Deng Haonan hurriedly picked up the claireye, and when he looked at it, he was immediately shocked, only to see that the opponent's warship had opened the gun door and was about to fire.

"Shelling by enemy ships! Get down all of them! ”

At the moment when Deng Haonan shouted loudly, the fire on the enemy ship suddenly flickered, and it was already firing.

Knock knock!

The roar of the cannon immediately woke up all the excited pirates. Fortunately, they were accustomed to Deng Haonan's devil training, and immediately lay down, guarding the vital points of their heads with both hands.

The cannonballs flew with a long whistling sound, and some of them fell into the sea, causing waves to splash. However, five or six shells still hit the port side of the ship, and in an instant, the ship's port side was smashed into pieces.

Fortunately, there was no one near the port side, because this ship was originally used by Deng Haonan to teach, and there were only one hundred and ten people, and there were not enough people to do the work of several people, and even the wrenchers and wrenches had to help the wrenches sort out the saillocks. Therefore, when Deng Haonan was preparing the plan, everyone concentrated on the starboard side to fight, there was no one on the port side, there were no guns, and the enemy's shells did not cause a large number of casualties, and only a few students of the martial arts hall were slightly injured.

"Full sails! Right full rudder evasion! ”

"Prepare to fight back!"

After a round of shelling by enemy ships, Deng Haonan immediately ordered all the crew to prepare for a counterattack.

After the order was given, the entire crew got up, turned the gun around and pushed it back to the port gun mount. Deng Haonan handed over the command of the warship to Lin Feng, and let Huang Zupei be responsible for firing back at the enemy ship, while he took a few Oshijiang and Piersmen to bandage the wounded on the spot.

Regardless of the severity of the injury, it can only be bandaged simply at the moment, and follow-up treatment can only wait for the battle to end. Fortunately, the casualties are not very large, and they are still within Deng Haonan's bearable range. During the entire operation, only nine people were killed and twenty-three were wounded.

After placing the seriously wounded in the cabin, Deng Haonan returned to the battlements.

At this time, Huang Zupei hurriedly ran over, and was about to speak, Deng Haonan heard the whistling of the cannonball, shouted to be careful, and hurriedly knocked him down.

Bang!

A cannonball smashed a large hole in the battlement, and an iron bullet was embedded in the deck not far away, revealing only half of it.

"Are you alright?" Deng Haonan got up and asked Huang Zupei, who was still lying on the deck.

Huang Zupei's eyes were in a daze as he looked at the iron bullet in front of him, which was still hot and emitting a trace of smoke in the hardwood. Huang Zupei secretly said that it was so dangerous, got up and looked at the huge hole behind him that was smashed open by the cannonball, thinking that if Deng Haonan hadn't pounced him on the ground, he was afraid that he would be pierced through his heart.

"Thank you for saving my life!" Huang Zupei's words of thanks could be heard from the heart.

Deng Haonan just smiled, and after saying politely, he asked, "You came here in a hurry to find me?" ”

Huang Zupei remembered what was going on at this time, and hurriedly said, "We have no shells!" ”
