Chapter 285: Head-on Collision Seventh Update
"Sent to the door to find death?"
The formation of the ghost slave is on the left flank of the left wing formation of the entire Pujia fleet, that is, the left wing of the crane wing formation protruding forward. β² β΄ top β² β΄ point β² β΄ small β² β΄ said that www. can be in this position, which is naturally inseparable from his consistent courage and good fighting.
However, this thunder god and ghost slave, who has experienced a hundred battles at sea, has never seen a way of playing in a group of 11 large warships on one side - the oriental naval battles of this era will be about the use of warships of different sizes. However, he had vaguely heard of this kind of warship with oars and sails, as if there were such warships in the Mediterranean countries in the extreme west.
Fast is indeed an advantage in naval battles! It means that victory can be chased, defeat can be left. But on today's battlefield, such clippers do not play a role. Because Chen Dexing also carried 1,000 slow ships full of "slaves" and goods. If it is unfavorable, he can only escape with a maximum of 11 clippers, and these 1,000 ships of slaves and goods can only be abandoned.
Before the war, Pu Shougeng had already made a promise. He doesn't want all the loot! Slaves, ships, and goods belong to the warriors, and whoever grabs them belongs to him!
In addition, who cut off Chen Dexing's head! Pu Shougeng will also take out an additional 100,000 copper and 10 Tianzhu female slaves to be rewarded!
"Master Nurman, I have found the general flag of the thief Chen!" A middle-aged sailor in charge of recognizing the flag suddenly shouted.
The ghost slave looked intently at the lead of the Chen family's galleys, and a flaming red "Chen" flag was hung on the mast.
"It's good to come!" The ghost slave said disdainfully, "This Shirk, who doesn't know naval warfare at all, is going to fall into my hands!" This is a gift from God! β
A ghost slave's henchman next to him also said angrily: "Shirk of the Song Kingdom is always so stupid, and he is so stubborn. refusing to convert to the true God, he also arrogantly tried to confront the Great Mongolia. The most odious thing is to dare to collect so many taxes from the believers of the true God! All of them should go to Hellfire! β
The ghost slave nodded heavily, everything is good here in Song Kingdom. The only thing that made him dissatisfied was the faith of the Song people. They are all even more hateful Sylkes than Kafir, and they are not willing to repent!
"To the believers of the true God, today's war is not only for wealth and women, but also for the spread of the truth!" The ghost slave shouted, "This is the war of the gods!" β
"It's the War of the Gods! God is great! The Celestial Cultists on the ship all shouted. They may not be as fanatical as the ghost slaves, but as soon as he instigated them, a sacred thought arose in everyone's heartsβas if they were not going to kill people and set fires, but to spread the truth for the Almighty God.
The order was issued from the Thor. The warships of the 33 pirate bandits who followed the Thor also suddenly boiled. The pirates on these ships are not Celestials, but are just a reward from the greedy Pu family. There is no true God in their eyes, only riches and women.
"Brothers, work harder, it's time to grab money and women!" The pirate leaders shouted and cheered their men.
Chen Dexing's 1,000 large ships are a fatal attraction for these pirates and pirates. It's as if they've lit a stove in their hearts, and they're bent on grabbing a handful! For a time, everyone was out of the sheath and the arrow was on the string. Just waiting for the upcoming showdown!
β¦β¦
"Give the order, let Zhou Xiaoqi and Yu Yu's people take the lead!"
On the Thor, the big bow of the ghost slave began to command the battle. At this time, the way of naval warfare was a bit similar to land warfare, and it was also divided into forward, middle army, and rear. to this part of the sea today. It was the pirates hired by the Pu family to be the vanguard, and the Pu family was in the bow of the ghost slave to suppress the formation, and Pu Shougeng himself was responsible for the reinforcement at the back.
This was all agreed before the war. It is also the "rule of conduct" for pirates and boat bandits on the southeast coast. The Pu family is the biggest pirate, and they have spent so much money to hire a little pirate. Naturally, there is no reason to take the lead yourself.
So...... Instead of forming their 18 most powerful spinnales into an independent formation, the Pu family scattered the eighteen ships. Coupled with some Pujia merchant ships, he escorted the hired pirate boat bandits to charge into battle.
In other words, they are using the weakest force against Tran Tak Hing's strongest sea power - this is the difference between an underworld fight and an army war!
If Kublai Khan was in command today, he would definitely not have summoned so many pirates, and it would be troublesome for so many pirates to manage! The most powerful combat power of the Pu family is now scattered to manage the pirates......
"Seventh brother! The ghost slave has given an order, and wants us to take the lead! β
The man named Qige'er, surnamed Zhou, was born as a fisherman in Zhejiang, and felt that fishing was not very interesting, so he voted for pirates - in fact, he was not really a thief, but a thief and a businessman. Some grab points, and those who don't grab smuggle. However, there are far more times to smuggle than to rob things, and in fact, he is the leader of a smuggling gang active on the southeast coast! This time, he was greedy for the heavy reward of the Pu family, and brought his own gang - a total of more than a dozen large and small fortune boats to trouble Chen Dexing.
"That's not right!" Although Zhou Xiaoqi's appearance is rough, his mind is very detailed. As soon as Chen Dexing's 11 warships rushed out, he already sensed that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" A leader next to him asked.
"The surname Chen is to form a team of the best warships!"
The leader craned his neck and looked like that's what was going on! Eleven warships are not only huge, but they also fly to and fro at sea!
This ship is so big, and so fast, it will sink vigorously when it hits, and I am afraid that none of the lucky ships on my side can carry it, right?
"Brother Qi'er, this deal is a big deal, why don't you talk about it first?"
"No! You can't do this bad thing, we have received the Pu family's copper coins! β
The rivers and lakes have the rules of the rivers and lakes, collect money from people, and prevent disasters for others! As for whether it can be blocked, it can only be done with all your might.
"Slow down!" Zhou Xiaoqi said in a low voice, "It's a headwind now, our ship is sinking again, and the arms of the oars are thin, alas, it's all the troubles of this world......"
There is no way to use the wind to move forward in a headwind situation. However, ships along the coast of China are equipped with long oars, which can be used to make way in headwinds. As for how fast you can run, that's a matter of conscience...... The Zhou family's oars have little strength, can't they eat enough?
β¦β¦
"Hurry, hurry! Hurry up, fuck, didn't eat enough or what? β
Some people row slowly, and some people don't know how heavy it is. Yu Ruhai is such a stunned young man! In the rivers and lakes, it is the name of the fierce punch. Unlike Zhou Xiaoqi, a smuggler, his main business is robbery, and he ran rampant along the coast with a group of brothers who could fight and rush.
"Brothers, have you seen the ships of the officers and soldiers? That's big and fast, as long as we grab one, where else can we go in the southeast sea? β
"That's right! Where else to go! β
"After robbing the warship, go and grab the cargo ship, it will be full of women with goods!"
The boss has high ambitions, and the minions don't know whether to live or die! The oarmen even used their strength to shake the oar, driving the two-masted fortune ship with a thousand stones up and down to rush towards Chen Dexing's warship. The other twelve ships that followed Yu into the sea also shook their rows vigorously, unaware that their opponent was the murderer who even Meng Ke Khan had killed, and the Pu family did not say that they were going to deal with Chen Dexing when they gathered the pirate boat bandits.
"Lord, the enemy's thirty-four warships were divided into three geese marching formations, and they pounced on me for the first time."
On the deck of the Haitian, the staff officer loudly reported the latest battle situation. At this time, the ghost slave department that charged on the sea had been divided into three formations for various reasons. The ghost slave is behind, Zhou Xiaoqi is slowly in the center, and the thirteen boats that enter the sea are in the front. However, the distance between the three formations is not very far, and in the rhythm of naval battles in the past, the fleets divided into three units can still support each other.
"Three geese marching in formation, the first charge ......" Chen Dexing also discovered this situation from the telescope. The 34 warships of the Pu family together are most likely unable to handle Chen Dexing's 11 oars. It was actually split into three points, the first impact.
"Good! Rush it! Who's afraid of whom! Chen Dexing seemed to see the thirteen sea ships sailing against the wind, and the largest was a two-masted ship, which was not a little smaller than Chen Dexing's oars. Again, the wind was headwind, and the speed was slow, like a bunch of turtles swimming slowly in the sea.
"Change formation! A horizontal line, ready to ram and knock them over! β
Chen Dexing ordered loudly. His galleys, like the three-decker galleys, have a ramming angle in the bow and are built so strong that they can break the enemy with a ramming move! Now it's downwind again, and the oarsmen's bodies are at their highest.
"Brothers, paddle hard!"
"Kill the Tartars, go to heaven, and row hard!"
Amid the sound of the "brainwashing" labor trumpet, the 11 galleys, which were originally arranged in columns, have become horizontal formations with bows facing the enemy. The bow of each galley was aimed at an enemy ship.
"Full strength! With all your might! β
At the command, all the oarsmen exerted all their strength at the same time, and more than 1,900 oars paddled rapidly, breaking through the waves, and pushing the speed of these eleven galleys to about fifteen knots, together with the thirty-three sails that were fully stretched on all sides!
Looking at the galleys that are getting bigger and closer ahead, whether it is Yu Ruhai or Zhou Xiaoqi, the same year comes to mind: "This boat is so fast!" It's such a big ship......
"Helmsman, rush to the bow of the officer!" Yu Jinhai roared loudly at this time: "Fucking ready, ready to jump!" Go and rob the ships of the officers and soldiers! β
While shouting, this man, who has been at sea for more than ten years, has drawn out his scimitar, put on paper armor, pulled the foremast with one hand, and stood on the bow of the ship majestically. (To be continued......) R527
