Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Shanren's Clever Plan

[Today's second update]

At this time, the opponent's warship was already not far away, about around Lixu. Fortunately, in this era, the interval between artillery firing was long, and it was possible to be fully prepared.

After the bombardment of the enemy ships, Deng Haonan saw that the warships of the two sides were only four or five hundred meters away, so he ordered to use the chain ammunition to attack instead.

The so-called chain bomb is two small iron balls, connected by iron chains in the middle, and used to destroy the enemy's sails and cables. When the chain bomb rotates and flies in the air, it has a great destructive power on the sail, and once the sail is torn out of the gap, the speed of the warship will decrease. Similarly, supporting the sail requires a lot of chains and cables, and once the chain bomb hits the cable of the opponent's warship, it will break a large number of cables, or entangle them together, making it impossible for the fighters to control the height and direction of the sail, affecting the combat effectiveness of the warship.

Deng Haonan ordered to use chain bullets to attack, mainly to slow down the opponent's ship, because he only had one warship, and it was impossible to fight two warships at the same time. Once the speed of the opponent's ship is reduced, Deng Haonan can use the speed of the ship to go around in circles with the opponent and slowly find an opportunity to destroy the enemy.

Bang bang bang!

Before Deng Haonan could fire, it was the second enemy ship that fired first, and the shells whizzed over, and after hitting the battleship, it was a piece of broken wood in an instant. Unfortunately, an iron bullet hit the No. 3 gun position, and one soldier died on the spot, and the first captain was overturned and knocked himself unconscious.

"Shoot back!"

The order was issued, and the students of the martial arts hall returned fire with chain bullets. Suddenly, chain bullets spun rapidly in the air and flew towards the enemy ship. hit the sail, and immediately tore a long hole. Bump into the cable, or twist it, or twist the various cables on the left side together.

The enemy ship was suddenly attacked by this kind of chain bomb, and it was immediately a little flustered, which had a certain impact on the speed and course of the warship. However, because the number of chain bullets is too small, the effect is not very ideal.

At this time, Deng Haonan estimated that the artillery fire of the first enemy ship was almost ready, and immediately ordered the battleship to sail full and make emergency evasive actions.

Sure enough, the first enemy ship suddenly flickered, and the huge warship swallowed the clouds like a monster, followed by a whooshing whistle, and a row of shells clinging to the starboard side.

It's dangerous! Deng Haonan breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to his quick evasion, otherwise after this round of shells hit the ship, he would not die or be severely disabled.

Deng Haonan hurriedly adjusted the order, the two warships of the other side had already entered the combat position, and their own firepower was inferior to that of the other party. Because the time to fire a chain bullet is enough for the other side to prepare for a new round of shelling. At a distance of several hundred meters, dozens of artillery pieces of the opponent are enough to destroy their own warships.

"Left Rudder Fifteen, full speed ahead, flowering bomb ready!"

At this time, Deng Haonan had already taken over Lin Feng's position of catching thieves, and Lin Feng retreated to the position of Ashijiang, serving Deng Haonan as the first mate of the warship and learning from the experience on the side.

"Master! What are we going to do? Next to the battlement, Lin Feng asked Deng Haonan.

Deng Haonan was speechless for a while, and said secretly: Who will I ask if you ask me? Lao Tzu has touched all steel-hulled iron ships, and large sail warships like this have seven tricks and six tricks. Although I have also played sailing, it is a small thing compared to what I am looking for.

However, just as a man can't say he can't in front of a woman, Deng Haonan naturally can't say that he can't say no way in front of his students, so he can only grit his teeth and hold on.

"Let's retreat to the deep sea first, and then we will make plans!"

Deng Haonan's words are undoubtedly running away, but he is just saying something high-sounding! However, the situation was much worse than he imagined, and Lin Feng's words ruthlessly hit Deng Haonan.

"Master! Our ships are not as fast as the enemy's ships! ”

No way! Deng Haonan rolled his eyes angrily, and immediately used his clairvoyance to observe the two enemy ships behind him. Sure enough, the man's mast was tall and large, and the speed was indeed faster than his ship.

Deng Haonan sighed, and then Huang Zupei came over and said, "In less than half an hour, they will be able to catch up with us?" ”

Half an hour? Deng Haonan looked at the west of the sky and looked at the fiery sunset. I cursed in my heart: Damn the sun, it doesn't seem that there is an hour that will not set.

Deng Haonan then said: "Mountain people have their own clever plans! ”

Sweat! Where's the trick? Deng Haonan asked Cangtian with two eyes, but it was a pity that Cangtian didn't dump him!

In this way, Deng Haonan's warship ran vigorously in front of the sails, and the two three-masted ships behind were divided into left and right desperately chasing after each other. From time to time, he bombarded with a heavy gun in the bow of their ship, and almost hit several times.

Deng Haonan saw that the situation was not good, so he had to order the warships to avoid the opponent's artillery fire from time to time.

It's not the way to go! Deng Haonan was entangled in his heart and worked hard to find a way. At this time, Huang Zupei walked up to Deng Haonan and said: "The enemy has two warships, one on the left and one on the right, and we can't run if we want to!" ”

Deng Haonan knew that the enemy ships were in an upwind position, and they were attacking left and right, and the only way was to make the warships suddenly move in the opposite direction, and only by breaking through in the opposite direction before they could reflect on them could they get rid of them. However, the warships of this era were unable to reverse with the help of the wind.

Deng Haonan knocked on the battlement, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the huge iron anchor hanging under the battlement, Deng Haonan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly laughed and said: "God help me, Lao Tzu's ship did not reverse, but there were brakes!" ”

Lin Feng, Huang Zupei and others were stunned when they saw Deng Haonan suddenly laughing, and it took a long time for them to slow down. Lin Feng stepped forward and asked, "Did the master come up with a clever plan to get out?" ”

"Of course!" Deng Haonan said with certainty: "After waiting for the enemy ships to come up from the left and right, we will drop the iron anchor on one side, so that we are all driving at full speed, and we will use the anchor on one side to make a sharp turn, and we will definitely be able to get rid of them." Once we succeed, they don't have two hours to catch up with us! ”

Lin Feng said in surprise: "Great! Two hours, it was already dark, and we took advantage of the night to escape! ”

Huang Zupei on the side snorted coldly: "Don't be too happy too early!" It's a good idea to break down sharply on the side side to make an emergency turn! However, that would also take a big risk, first of all, will we capsize in such a sharp turn? If the ship hadn't capsized, we would have had close contact with one of the enemy ships, and there were more than twenty guns on one side, and we only had six, which would have been beaten into a sieve! ”

Huang Zupei's words immediately caused uneasiness among several Oshijiang, the helmsmen, and the first captain. Deng Haonan knew that Huang Zupei did not fight against him this time, but raised the right concerns.

Deng Haonan said: "For the sake of insurance, we lowered the sail when we anchored, so that the arc of our turn was smaller, and it was not easy to capsize!" ”

Huang Zupei nodded, and asked again: "Then how are you going to deal with the enemy ship's artillery superiority?" ”
