Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Great Victory
: Bu Ri Update, the second more this night, waiting for the children's shoes who are not in a hurry, please "Qin".
"Open fire".
"Fire!"
Na Haonan's order was conveyed step by step.
"Get the cannon!"
The commander in charge of each gun gave the order, and the cannon lit the arquebus.
As the arquebus burned out, with a loud bang, the gun carriage retreated a meter suddenly, the muzzle fire flickered, and a white column of smoke more than ten meters long erupted, and then the shells weighing as long as blades pierced through the end of the column of smoke, and flew towards the opposite warship with a roar across the sea.
Knock knock!
The Black Pearl was the first to fire, and the forty-two "genuine" Dutch-made Hongyi cannons in the third gun deck on the starboard side opened fire in turn. From a distance, the flash of fire flashed rapidly from the bow to the stern of the ship, like a beating note on a music player, but in fact it was a life-and-death talisman that urged life.
In an instant, thick smoke billowed from the starboard side of the Black Pearl, and the huge hull loomed, like a terrifying ghost. Forty-two shells smashed into the array of Zheng Yiguan's convoy in a flood of air.
Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao's ships bore the brunt of the attack and were hit by more than 40 shells that flew in. The heavy shells inflicted a devastating blow on the ship, and after the port side was hit by the first shell from the stern, it ate almost all the shells from the Black Pearl all the way to the bow, and the ship was beaten into a sieve when it boarded.
In an instant, the hardwood on the side of the ship, which was 50 centimeters thick, was shattered in an instant. There were shells that pierced through the three-story cabin, and the people in the cabin were seriously injured by the hot shells, and those who hit them were killed on the spot. A cannonball crashed into the gun deck and rubbed with the artillery and other iron inside, and suddenly sparks burst out, igniting hot pieces of wood chips that were flying everywhere in the air in an instant, and soon ignited a fire.
The Black Pearl's lower gun deck was full of heavy artillery, focusing on the vicinity of the enemy ship's waterline. After a round of shelling, several large holes were torn in the vicinity of the waterline of the enemy ships. Suddenly, the sea water poured violently, and the enemy ship immediately tilted.
The sudden shelling made everyone dumbfounded, and a group of rabble at this time did not want to return fire, but to flee for their lives.
It's just that the more you think about escaping, the faster you will die in the chaos.
After the Black Pearl fired, the First Squadron Pallas and the remaining ten cruisers opened fire almost simultaneously. Immediately after maneuvering to the left of the enemy's 3rd detachment, followed by port artillery fire.
In an instant, the cannon rumbled and was deafening.
The First Squadron and the Third Squadron formed a vertical crossfire network of nearly 90 degrees, and countless shells roared into Zheng Yiguan's fleet, and each ship was hit one after another and suffered heavy damage.
The air was filled with gunsmoke, covering the sky and the sun, and countless waves of water were stirred up on the sea surface, which boiled in an instant.
Zheng Zhi on the deck hung his feet angrily and hurriedly ordered the sails to be raised.
It's just that Daming's hard sail is a whole big sail, and it takes more than a dozen people to lift it. For larger ships, it would take hundreds of people to raise the sails. At this time, the deck was bombarded by a sudden shelling, smoke and flames everywhere, and there were countless wounded sailors on board, only a few people heard Zheng Zhibao's order, but they couldn't lift the sails.
And by this time, the ship had already begun to tilt, and soon the sailors were already unstable.
"It's capsizing!"
I don't know if it was that person who shouted, and all the sailors rushed to the side of the ship without a single climb, jumping into the sea one by one to escape. Zheng Zhibao knew that if the ship capsized, he would not be able to run away, because the warship was heavy, and when it sank, a strong suction force would be generated, and people in the vicinity would be sucked into the swirl and rolled into the bottom of the sea.
Zheng Zhibao had the heart to fight, but it was more important to save his life, so he also jumped into the sea.
In a small boat in front, Zheng Zhihu, who was about to go to the Black Pearl for negotiations, was stunned there, looking at his own fleet that had been wrapped in dumplings, and under the fierce shelling of the "Dutch" warship, it was beaten in an uproar, and he was stunned for a while. He never thought that the Dutch would suddenly open fire on him, even if there was no relationship with Zheng Yiguan, the Dutch were never willing to destroy the ship, they had always taken the complete capture of the other party as the first condition.
Looking at the Black Pearl in the smoke of gunpowder, he felt that this ship was somewhat familiar.
"Isn't this the Uh-Buddha Immortal?
"Wasn't she robbed by Deng Haoge?"
Zheng Zhihu suddenly realized that it was Di Haonan who attacked him, which made sense.
But how could Deng Haonan have always had a Western fleet?
Zheng Zhihu couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have time to think about it, at this time his fleet had been scattered, the ship capsized, and his younger brother Zheng Zhibao's life and death were unknown. The fleet lost command and fell into disarray, many of which were heavily damaged, many of which were already on fire.
The ships that survived the first round of shelling looked like they were on the verge of escaping, and he needed to go back and take control of the situation and command the battle.
"Leigh go back! Fast! ”
By this time, the second detachment of the Pacific Fleet had already maneuvered to the left side.
Suddenly, the starboard side of the ten frigates opened fire in unison, and hundreds of shells whistled and smashed over. Several more enemy ships were beaten to pieces, and the ship was flooded with seawater, and the ship was about to capsize, and the crew members who had survived on it wailed and jumped into the sea.
After firing on the port side, the 3rd Squadron continued to turn left and approach the enemy's rear.
Due to the use of Franc machine guns, after a round of shelling. The gunners quickly opened the breech doors and filled them with the propellants and shells, leaving a lot of time left. It only takes half a minute, and the second round of shelling is ready.
"Fire!"
At the sound of an order, the third detachment
Hundreds of shells locked onto the three warships behind the enemy, and the shells whistled and smashed over, and the three warships that were hit were scarred and in a mess. The cannonballs hit the enemy ship in a direct way, and the distance was only 80 meters, and the huge impact of the cannonball instantly penetrated the hull of the enemy ship. A few shells happened to crash into the crowd of people huddled together due to the chaos, and in an instant, in a miserable scream and howl, the flesh and blood were scattered, leaving only a few bloody blood groove marks, so that it was impossible to distinguish whose limbs and bones belonged to.
At this time, a warship in the middle was penetrated by several shells through the hull, and crashed into the internal powder compartment, in an instant, a violent explosion sounded, the entire center of the hull was blown to pieces, and the nearby people were instantly swept up by the violent shock wave, and fell into the distance like a free fall movement, and some people were directly torn to pieces by the high-speed broken wood and hard objects wrapped in the shock wave, and the stump and broken arm were thrown into the sea.
As if a piece of the ship had been bitten off by a giant beast, the mast snapped and fell into the sea with a rope.
Then, a fiery red mushroom cloud rose up, instantly swallowing a nearby qiē, and then turned into a curtain of thick smoke, diffusing into the blue sky.
"Right full rudder!"
"Port side artillery fire ready!"
Here, after a round of shelling of Di Haonan's flagship, the Black Pearl, under Di Haonan's order, the Black Pearl hurriedly turned to the right, followed the "" line, and continued to approach the enemy fleet, while switching to a port side artillery attack.
The Black Pearl's guns are front-loading heavy guns, so they have a slow firing speed and need to switch between the port and port sides to complete a quick attack. However, the Pallas and the other ten cruisers were equipped with Franc machine guns, which fired faster, and although they still turned with the flagship, they were constantly firing and attacking in the process of turning forward.
The guns of the eleven cruisers were twice as powerful as the convoy, and the two hundred Franc guns opened fire at once, and the shells rained down into the enemy fleet, damaging the enemy ships.
For a while, the scorching fire, the thick smoke billowing out the sea, and the wailing sound all over the field covered the rumbling cannon sound for a while, which was extremely miserable.
In just half an hour, the escort fleet led by the Zheng brothers, five of the twenty warships were sunk, seven were disabled and lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining eight warships were not fiercely attacked because they were in the middle and rear, and at this time they had already raised their sails and broke through to the outside.
At this time, Zheng Zhihu was ordering people to rush into a small boat and keep approaching one of the incoming warships. From time to time, the whistling sound of cannonballs passed by his ears, hitting nearby warships or the sea, and the debris flew everywhere with flames, occasionally falling on Zheng Zhihu's body, and was soon extinguished by the sea water scattered by the water column stirred up by the cannonballs. Zheng Zhihu raised his eyes to look at his brothers on the opposite ship, and saw that they were shouting at him anxiously, but he couldn't hear what they were shouting because of the rumbling cannons.
At this moment, the subordinates behind him shouted in panic: "Brother Tiger, the enemy ship is coming, jump quickly!" He said that his men had jumped into the water and swam frantically to the left and right.
Zheng Zhihu turned around suddenly, only to see a huge warship breaking through the waves and heading towards his own ship
When he looked up, it was the tall Buddha Immortal in his memory, Zheng Zhihu wanted to dive, but unfortunately the Black Pearl seemed to have magical power, controlling his body and unable to move.
Zheng Zhihu looked up at the sky with his eyes, the sunlight was gradually blocked by a huge black shadow, and the Black Pearl ran over Zheng Zhihu's body directly, and the waves split by the bow of the Black Pearl suddenly turned blood red.
And the two minions who dived in advance failed to avoid the seawater suction caused by the huge hull of the Black Pearl's high-speed advance, and were sucked inverted under the Black Pearl.
When the Black Pearl passed, there were a few more planks and tattered clothes in the waves behind.
With its strong firepower and huge size, the Black Pearl was walking the "zigzag route, and while it was approaching to open fire, the warship in front of it in a half-sinking state was directly run over by the Black Pearl, and they were broken in half one after another, sinking rapidly.
At this time, a warship in the midst of a breakthrough suddenly fired several shots at the Black Pearl, avoiding the nest of being completely wiped out but not firing a single shot.
"Catch up with it! Kill it! Na Haonan saw the firing warship in the eyes of the Qianli, and originally thought that the opponent's resistance would be fierce, but unfortunately the defeat was like a mountain, and it became a target ship for the Pacific Fleet to practice.
Now this is the first one. The enemy ships that fired back attracted Deng Haonan's interest.
"Left Rudder Thirty!"
"Starboard artillery ready!"
The Black Pearl seemed to be a black cheetah, quickly pursuing the enemy ship behind.
Because the Black Pearl is going big". For sail ships, you can not only get an excellent shooting angle, but also make full use of the wind speed to keep the battleship in a high-speed state.
The ship in front of the right in front of it, because it had just raised its sails, had not yet risen in speed, so it was gradually caught up by the Black Pearl.
"Left Rudder Five!"
Seeing that the other party turned left, it seemed that he wanted to avoid it, and the Black Pearl also turned left.
Seeing the Black Pearl chasing after him, the warship unexpectedly raised a white flag and asked for surrender.
Major Lin Feng snorted coldly and said, "Do you think they fired a few shots to prepare for a decisive battle?" I didn't expect it to be a bad thing! ”
Di Haonan nodded and ordered: "Pass the order, only accept the surrender of their merchant ships, as for their warships, this time they should be trained by the fleet, and they must all be sunk!" ”
This is indeed a very good practice session!
The opponent has been defeated, and there is no longer a threat to his own side, but if the Pinerma artillery sinks them one by one, it will directly improve the combat experience and confidence of Tai Cai.
This is also the first battle of Deng Haonan's debut, or the first vote without capital, which is a good sign for Deng Haonan, his disciples, and even the entire Nahaonan Group!
The ancients were very superstitious about winning the first battle, and if the first battle was won, the morale would become more and more vigorous. Contrarily. morale is low. Or even lose confidence and motivation!
The one-sided slaughter plan began!
Or maybe the ravages have begun!
Na Haonan ordered the whole fleet to be divided into small groups of combat units. Two or three ships in a group, in a linear manner. As a means of attack, it is strictly forbidden to engage in close combat with the enemy, and only requires the sinking of enemy ships with artillery.
The Black Pearl and Pallas were grouped together and quickly pursued their prey.
In the artillery decks of each layer, the captains and artillerymen were in high spirits, and the tense atmosphere at the beginning was gone, and at this time they could calmly prepare for the shelling, as if they had returned to the mentality of the time of practice.
"Fire!"
The order was given, the starboard side of the Black Pearl flickered, and the forty-two cannons roared again.
The two sides are driving in parallel, more than 200 meters apart, and such a close distance is the strength of the fight. The opponent had only a few guns that could fire effectively, and apparently the combat attrition was strict. A few shells were fired occasionally in time, but at most they poked a few holes in the Black Pearl, and the iron bullets with the big mouth of the bowl did little damage to the Black Pearl.
On the other hand, regardless of the caliber of the guns, the power, the number and the range of the Black Pearl, Xi surpassed the opponent by several times, and the destructive power was quite strong.
In an instant, the sound of cannons hit the hull of the enemy ship, and immediately smashed the port side hull of the enemy ship up and down, the huge mast creaked and snapped, and the cable tied to it pulled the battleship to the other side.
At this time, the Pallas rushed over and continued to attack with starboard guns. Suddenly, along the side of the ship, which had already been broken, it was directly pierced. The entire interior of the warship suddenly burst into flames. The pill packs stacked outside were ignited, and in a series of explosions, the entire ship was engulfed in flames, leaving only endless wails.
The Black Pearl and the Pallas circled the ship after sinking the surrendering ship.
There were many minions under Zheng Yiguan who had fallen into the water in the sea, and Deng Haonan knew that the artillery had already been trained, and the marines would also have to see blood, otherwise they would be embarrassed.
So Liu Hu received an order to lead the two hundred marines on the Black Pearl to use the Spanish Mushkert arquebus to shoot at the pirates who were shouting for mercy in the sea.
The Marines were divided into three rows, the first was half-kneeling, the second was standing, and the third was on standby, waiting for the front row to finish firing.
The gun is under the shoulder, the right hand holds the gun, reloads the primer, propellant, and then loads the projectile.
Then blow the fire rope! Gently blow on the firewire to create a firehead. Then attach one end of the arquebus to the snake rod clamp.
Adjust the length of the arquebus to make sure that the arquebus can be lit into the pot just right, and the lid is closed.
Blow the fire rope again, open the lid of the medicine pot, raise the gun and aim!
"Shoot!"
When the Marines received the order, they simultaneously closed their eyes and opened fire.
Bang bang bang!
After a volley of gunshots, white smoke swirled around.
On the sea dozens of meters away, there was a swishing sound of projectiles breaking through the air, and then a dense splash of water was stirred, and pirates were shot and screamed one after another.
Na Haonan quietly looked at the Marines' watch. He needs a bloody killing machine.
Sure enough, they all have the potential to be pirates!
None of them felt sick or even vomited or diarrhea because of the killing, which shows that their mentality has changed to that of a soldier.
"Gun on the shoulder!" "Next team!"
"Raise the gun".
This was repeated again and again until the Marines shot the surviving pirates on the surface one by one.
The cannon fire on the sea had stopped, all twenty of Zheng Yiguan's warships were sunk as target ships, and two of the eight merchant ships tried to escape and were sunk by the battleships of the Third and Second Fleets, and the rest were honest.
The shooting of the remnants of the pirates was also played out on other warships.
Is it cold? Is it cruelty?
No! Neither!
Di Haonan asked himself, he didn't do anything wrong!
As a pirate, your head is tied to your belt, and you are an outlaw who says something bad.
Today your mercy has let them go, and tomorrow when you fall into their hands, will there be mercy?
No, it won't!
In the age of the jungle, there are only those who kill and those who are killed!
"Headmaster. There were six cargo ships left, and our men had already taken control of them and captured more than a hundred sailors. Do you want to" Lin Feng made a murderous gesture smaller than Ge.
Wu Xu Deng Haonan once wanted to find a reason to let them go!
It's a pity that they are Zheng Yiguan's people. Destined to be the enemy of that Haonan!
Di Haonan nodded, more than 100 people were also just executed.
No one questioned Na Haonan's decision, because they knew what the consequences would be if they let go of a living mouth!
Reports. The communication soldiers came to report and captured a leader, it was Zheng Zhibao!
Thank you for the monthly passes and rewards of thousands of wolves from the north and friends who live on Diaoyu Island! ,
