Chapter Eighty-One: The Capture of the Loads (Part II)
: New books are on the shelves, please support your friends! Today's fifth watch, there was a loud bang, and the 5,000-pound Longwei cannon in the bow of the ship roared, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
An iron bullet weighing twenty-five pounds flew out of the smoke and smashed into the stern of the Uhfoxian with a whistling whistle.
Unfortunately, however, it failed to hit the rudder of the Uhfoxian, and the hot shell fell into the sea. Suddenly a column of water several meters high was stirred.
"It's close!" Deng Haonan put down his clairmind and shouted: "It's more than ten meters away!" β
Second Lieutenant Hong Hailiang hurriedly instructed the first commander and the gunners to revise the shooting Zhuyuan and increase the propellant.
A few minutes later.
Boom!
There was another loud bang, and the Longwei cannon spewed out again.
The smoke cleared, and Deng Haonan hurriedly observed again with clairvoyance.
This time, it hit the enemy ship and blew up the two carved figurines above the stern of the Uhfoxian. However, that was not the outcome that Deng Haonan expected to see.
"It's high!" Deng Haonan shouted: "Turn down the muzzle of the cannon by one gear!" β
Second Lieutenant Hong Hailiang received the order and hurriedly revised the artillery again to shoot Zhu Yuan.
In this way, the Longwei cannon fired several times, but failed to hit the rudder of the aft of the Erfoxian.
At 4:10 p.m., the two sides were entangled for more than an hour, and Deng Haonan's Gang and the four Pallas had been occupying the upper hand. The number bit her tightly behind the Buddha Immortal. Take advantage of the Eastern warship and slam her rudder. And the Pallas and the Uh-Buddha are both Western warships. The trajectory is the same. The Pallas used its broadside guns to suppress the Erfersen. Forcing it to be unable to turn around.
Just then, the Buddha Immortal suddenly made a big turn to the right with some impatience, and turned against the fire of the Pallas. Deng Haonan was shocked, thinking that it was Major General Fan Weite who had insight into his combat intentions.
Knock knock!
The Pallas's starboard side opened heavy fire in an attempt to push the Erfossen back again.
The cannonballs whizzed near the port side of the Erfoxian, stirring up a column of displacement on the sea.
However, this time, the Uhfoxian seemed to have been stimulated, and despite the huge damage caused by the shells to its port side, it made a sharp turn.
The next moment, the giant beast of the Uhfo Immortal couldn't help but roar. The three gun decks on the port side opened fire in unison, and suddenly dozens of shells whistled towards the Pallas.
In an instant, the two ships fired fiercely at each other. Cannonballs flew back and forth across the sea in the middle, swishing and whistling through the sky, and long columns of smoke intertwined with the columns of water raised on the sea. Soon the sky was filled with gunsmoke. The sea boiled fiercely, and the battle entered a fever pitch.
Here, Second Lieutenant Hong Hailiang was still directing the loading of gunpowder and shells, and the captain of the ship, Lieutenant Xue Muhua, said worriedly: "Principal, uh, the Buddha Immortal has already understood our intentions!" β
Di Haonan naturally saw the ferocious counterattack of the Buddha Immortal, but now he had to send an arrow. Deng Haonan can't care so much anymore!
Lin Feng said: "Fan Weite is gambling!" Rather than being broken by us and waiting to be killed, it is better to risk death and turn around and fight to the death! β
Deng Haonan's ruthlessness also came up, and he said coldly: "Then let's bet with him once!" β
Immediately ordered: "The left full rudder crashed into it at full speed!" β
"Yes! Left full rudder! β
"Full rudder left!"
With Na Haonan's ruthlessness, the warship suddenly turned sharply to the left. And uh, the Buddha is turning right. The two ships gradually became at a ninety degree right angle.
Attack with bow guns, albeit with only one cannon. But you can keep chasing the Buddha Immortal. However, once the broadside attack is used. Then the Buddha Immortal can take the opportunity to get rid of Na Haonan's tail chase.
Therefore, Deng Haonan only has one chance!
With the turn completed, Deng Haonan's ship was facing the stern of the Erfoxian with the starboard side, and its combat purpose was already about to be revealed.
"Starboard artillery ready!"
"Starboard guns ready!"
"Aim at the rudder of the enemy ship and fire in turn!"
The order was given, and the ten guns on the starboard side were aimed at the rudder of the Erfoxian.
The ship moved quickly, and soon the aft rudder of the Uhfoxian came into range of the first gun.
"Fire!"
Without hesitation, the first Longwei cannon suddenly fired.
There was a muffled thud, and the cannonball smashed into the stern flap of the Uhfoxian, causing a splash of debris in all directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the ship moved by, the stern of the Uhfoxian would only appear within the range of each cannon for seven or eight seconds, and there would only be one chance to attack.
Suddenly, the gunners trained by Na Haonan proved their ability with their practical actions.
Aim, shoot, all in one go.
Suddenly, all ten shells hit the stern of the Uhfoxian. The smoke dispersed, and Na Haonan hurriedly observed with clairvoyance, but saw that the stern of the Buddha Immortal was in a mess, and it had been blown up in a mess, but I don't know if the rudder was destroyed!
By this time, the battle between the Pallas and the Uhfoxian had ended. Uh, the Buddha Immortal fired two rounds of shelling. And the Pallas fired three rounds of shelling.
It is obvious that the British were far superior to the Dutch in gunnery.
However, the Eupho was so powerful that two rounds of hasty shelling scarred the Pallas. John wouldn't fight with Van Weitt, so he had to get out of the way, and the Uhfoxian got rid of the encirclement and attack of the second ship.
Failed?
Everyone looked at Deng Haonan, which made Deng Haonan extremely nervous, and looked blankly at the Buddha Immortal who turned around.
Lin Feng saw that Hao Nan was silent, knowing that at this time, every second was counting, and he immediately ordered him to continue to withdraw from the battle.
At this moment, the sailors on the Pallas, which was closest to the Erfoxian, cheered as John waved his flag. Sue sΓΉ Na Huo Nan plan succeeded.
In the shelling just now, the rudder of the Buddha Immortal was destroyed, and it lost the ability to control the ship's turn. At the same time, because the Uhfoxian happened to turn the bow of the ship, it became a headwind, and under the action of the currents and winds, it suddenly turned east to west. In order to maintain the balance of the ship, the Erfoxian soon lowered its boom and mast sails and drifted silently on the sea.
Na Haonan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the bow of the ship to turn around and sail towards the Buddha Immortal.
Knock knock!
The Buddha Immortal seemed to be afraid of Deng Haonan's approach, and opened fire from a distance. The cannonballs flying in the whistling really scared everyone. However, because the ship could not turn, the cannonballs hit the sea, stirring up countless columns of water, and it was spectacular.
At this time, everyone's mood was the same as that of Na Haonan, and their hearts were extremely happy. The sound of the cannon of the Buddha Immortal is no longer frowned, but admired, as if it was a celebratory salute.
This seemed to be the last roar of Major General Fan Weite, but soon Deng Haonan was suddenly stunned. Because he saw that the Uh-Buddha Immortal was sinking.
"They're sinking ships!"
Someone shouted.
Na Haonan was shocked, and worked hard to calculate her, but in the end what she got was a sunken ship. Then Hao Nanke died of depression.
"Damn it!" Na Haonan said angrily: "Inform them." If the ship sinks, let them feed it all. Lao Tzu doesn't leave a living mouth! β
