The ships began to stagger one after another, and all the attention of the soldiers was on the enemy ships on the opposite side, ignoring the ships that had staggered and attacking, and only pricked up their ears and waited for orders. Whenever the ships began to stagger head-to-head, a loud roar from Shangguan would be heard: "Fire!" ”

With this loud roar, the artillerymen, musketeers, and archers on the ship immediately went into action. The artilleryman pestled his torch on the cannon door that had been prepared in front of him, the musketeer pulled the trigger, and the archer released the bowstring. I can only hear "tom tom tom!" The sound is the same as "Bang Bang! The sound of each other, accompanied by bursts of screams, formed a unique symphony, but this symphony was only suitable for the bloody warriors.

Many ships were so close together that the muzzles of guns and muskets were filled with smoke, and clouds of green smoke rose from the periphery, and the ships were also covered in smoke.

The "Corsair" on the opposite side is unlucky, and the scattered bullets are very different from the solid iron bullets, although the scattered bullets cannot damage the ship, but the close damage is far more than the solid bullets. These muzzles can be filled with hundreds of guns at a time, all of which are small marbles of the same size as the fingers. If you fire from a distance, of course, it will not be powerful, because this scatter bomb will not be able to hit far at all; However, when launched at close range, it can be said that it is a dozen large pieces, and the killing effect on the human body is very powerful.

At this moment, the two ships that were close to each other staggered by, that is, only about twenty meters apart, a large number of scattered bombs hit it, and immediately swept over the other party's ship like rain, and the pirates on the other side of the ship screamed miserably, and then fell on the ship. Those who didn't die wailed and rolled, and some of them even fell off the side of the boat, screaming and falling into the water.

The cannon reloaded slowly, but the archers and musketeers did not stop, especially the archers put the ignited rockets on the bowstring, pulled the string and opened the bow, and swished the flaming arrows towards the opponent's ship. Basically, a round of scattered bullets passed, and few of the "pirates" on the deck dared to come forward, just watching the sails catch fire, and hurriedly stepped forward to extinguish the fire.

There were heavy casualties on board the "Corsair", and the Mawei Navy was not having a good time. At such a close distance, a large number of shells fell on the ship, and the hull was immediately heavily damaged. A lot of shells hit the cabin, causing a lot of damage to the personnel inside. More shells smashed the ship's side deck, and sawdust flying everywhere scratched a large number of soldiers. Since none of the naval soldiers had fought such a fierce battle, they were a little timid to avoid for a while. However, after seeing the worse scene on the enemy ship, he regained a lot of self-confidence, and under the loud shouts of the officer, he calmed down again and began to continue loading and firing.

But in any case, this staggered time, the officers and men of the navy played a full house, and it was the first beautiful battle of their navy.

The muskets continued to ring, and the archers kept shooting, and some of the soldiers kept counting and shouting loudly when they didn't hit one, for fear that others would not know that they had won the battle. However, such behavior also greatly inspired the comrades-in-arms around them, and they became more courageous one by one.

At this time, the two fleets were already entangled, staggered past, very close to each other, in a state of melee, and the ships of both sides were now looking for their own targets. Wang Zhenbang's ship at this time was targeted by two closed ships and a safe house, which were rare ships in the entire "pirate" team. Wang Zhenbang found that the two smaller ships were fast and kept harassing him, while the largest ship took the initiative to stick up. The size of the Ataku ship is not much smaller than his No. 2 fortune ship, and this one can only be used for hand-to-hand combat.

The hull of his ship was originally large, and the hull was very strong, the bow was tall and sharp, like a huge iron plow, and when fighting at sea, the ship had a great advantage over the ordinary ships, in addition to the many guns, the carrying capacity was also large. Zheng Chenggong used these lucky ships to drive away the Dutch head-on when he was fighting at sea, and he is still a very good warship. At least in the current Taiwanese Zheng family's sailors, it is still the absolute main force.

Another function of the Fubune is to use the hull to carry out the ramming tactics to destroy the enemy ship. When the Anzhai ship was about to come up, Wang Zhenbang still ordered the ship to speed up and hit the boat next to it directly, and at the same time, the artillery and muskets continued to fire. It is to take advantage of the ship's long-range advantage, attack the big ship, and sink the small ship at the same time.

Not to mention, this time Wang Zhenbang caught a closed boat. This Guan boat was firing at a Cangshan ship of the same size, and all its attention was on the Cangshan ship. Wang Zhenbang's No. 2 Fu ship immediately approached at maximum speed, preparing to ram and sink the ship.

As soon as his lucky ship approached, it immediately attracted the attention of the "pirates" on the ship, and with a burst of chirps, he began to adjust the sails and speed up, turning to the right! The sailors, who were trying to deal with the Cangshan ship, immediately turned around and pounced on the side of the ship, pulled the only sail rope, and pulled the sail to adjust the wind. I have to say that this kind of ship is indeed born for speed, but the reaction is a little late at the moment, although the "pirates" have worked hard to turn, they still have not escaped the fate of being hit and sunk. The Fubune hit the stern of the Sekibune directly with its huge hull, and with a click, the stern of the Sekibune broke, and the whole ship quickly flooded in large quantities, and at the same time, it was overturned by the Fubune with a huge impact force, and then sank into the sea.

The Ataka ship not far away still did not give up the intention of coming up, and while constantly firing cannons, it quickly approached again when the fortune boat hit the ship.

"Commander Wang, that big ship is coming up again, shall we continue to drive more?"

"Not this time, let it come, the gunner continues to reload, ready to give them a hard blow!" Wang Zhenbang also decided not to entangle with it anymore, and directly killed this big ship, which could also hit the morale of the enemy. "Pass my orders, show our guys, it's time for them to show their might!"

Naval warfare in this era, in addition to artillery bombardment, is broadside warfare. However, in the broadside battle, it is not only the jumping gang to get on the ship for hand-to-hand combat, but more often it is the use of fire attack. Since the ships are made of wood and the sails are easy to burn, the fire attack is the greatest threat to the ship, and there is no one! In the Ming Dynasty, it was clearly stipulated that they should be equipped with spray cans, chimneys, fire bricks, rockets and other weapons for special fire attack.

Geng Jingzhong also thought of these problems at first, but he disliked that the weapons on the Zheng family's ship were not powerful enough, so he specially designed a set of jet cabinets similar to the previous fierce fire oil tanks. If you want to say how difficult it is to design such a device, just think about the pump of later generations, just a simple use of the principle of air pressure, it is estimated that a junior high school student can do it. These jet cabinets can not only be used to spray fire oil on enemy ships, but also can be used to help spray water and fire extinguishing on their own ships. Of course, the fire spray oil and the water spray must be separated!

Five or six jet cabinets were lifted onto the deck, and as the two sides drew closer and closer, the sides of the Fukufune and the Ataka ship collided together, and the sides of the two ships made a violent grinding sound.

"Kill!" Wang Zhenbang saw that at this time, bows, arrows and muskets were basically useless. The two sides had already taken over, put down the swords in their hands, personally grabbed the handle of the jet cabinet, and pressed down violently. At this time, this thing was in use, and the amount of fire oil stored in each injection cabinet was about half a gasoline barrel in later generations, and after Wang Zhenbang pressed down violently, he sprayed an "oil dragon" from the iron pipe of the jet gun facing the enemy ship, and sprinkled it all on the deck of the house.

The naval soldiers on the ship also immediately took action, and when the five jet cabinets sprayed out the oil, rockets also followed the fire on the Ataku ship, and the fire was big for a while, and the "pirates" on the Ataku ship could no longer bother to jump over to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and immediately the chickens and dogs jumped up, turned around and looked for buckets and sand in a panic, trying to extinguish the fire on their ship. However, in the incessant spraying of the jet cabinet, many "pirates" were also stained with fire oil, and were quickly ignited in a sea of fire, like torches being carried and running around, while the miserable howls were one after another.

The opposing ship is also equipped with some similar arson weapons, such as oil cans, fire bricks, and whatever, which are relatively common naval weapons in this era, but oil has not yet been developed in this era, and grease is a very valuable thing and very scarce, so this kind of weapons have always been rare. However, Geng Jingzhong has always spared no effort to invest in the navy, and of course he is reluctant to eat edible oils, but as more and more fishermen go to the sea to fish, the fish oil extracted from the belly of the fish comes in handy. These fish oils are very difficult to eat, and the people do not like them very much, so they are usually used as lamp oil, although the smoke is a little bigger, but it is very cost-effective. So Geng Jingzhong took a large amount of fish oil to the warship and used it as a weapon.

There was already a fire on the ship, and there were no more people standing on the deck, and the "pirates" who could stand up had already jumped into the sea with fire all over their bodies. Wang Zhenbang and his soldiers did not stop, and continued to spray the fire oil to the opposite side, increasing the fire, wanting to completely kill the ship.

The poor ship came to rest on the surface of the sea, unable to move any longer, except for the raging fire. The Ataka ship is a large ship, and all the people on board add up to more than 200. First they were bombarded by scattered bullets, then bows and arrows, and muskets were fired, and dozens of them were already dead when they were on the side, and now, more than 100 people who were still on the upper deck were all turned into torches, and most of them jumped into the sea screaming. The remnants hiding in the cabin are estimated to not last long, and the overwhelming fire slowly extends inside, and they will not be burned to death, but will also be smoked to death by the smoke!

I plead with the brothers again for recommendation, collection! The little brother will work harder and live up to expectations!
