Chapter 148: Fight to the Death 1

The men continued to try to change the foresails, but the others were all in position, and several of the ship's guns were once again loaded and pushed in front of the guns, the muzzles pointed outboard, and began to aim at the approaching ships.

Flintlock pistols were loaded and placed next to the ship's side, ready to be used, and grenades were pulled out, and the fuses were pulled out of the wax-sealed lids, ready to be fired.

The few remaining Molotov cocktails were removed from the hold and placed on the deck, but they were no longer to be thrown on enemy ships, and they were to be used as the last weapons on their own ship.

Lin Shouche ordered that once the ammunition and food were exhausted for a while, the last living people would ignite these Molotov cocktails and throw them on their boat, and completely burn the boat to the bottom, even if they died, they must not leave this boat to the enemy.

This kind of sloop is so far the top secret of the sea wolf, and the structure and construction of the hull are kept secret, and even ordinary sea wolf people are not allowed to board this kind of ship without permission, otherwise they will face severe punishment.

Therefore, before these people set out, they had been told by Yu Xiaotian that once they encountered a situation where they could not escape, at the last moment, they must completely destroy their ship with gunpowder or kerosene, and must not leave it to the enemy.

Now the people on the ship are ready to completely carry out Yu Xiaotian's order, and only wait for the battle to reach the last moment, set the ship on fire, and at the bottom of the ship, they also left a barrel of gunpowder, only to ignite at the last moment, blow up the bottom of the ship, and let the ship sink into the sea.

Everyone pursed their lips tightly and silently watched the approaching enemy ships, but their guns never sounded, watching the enemy ships approach them.

When Lin Shouche checked the ammunition stock on the ship after the last time, he already knew that their ship was basically running out of ammunition and food, and there were less than two rounds of ammunition left for each gun, and only the small Franc cannon on the deck still had a few guns.

At this time, the empty Zi Gong had been thrown into the sea by the sailors, and they would rather destroy the things than leave Chu Cai to be older.

It was a soldier who bent down and picked up a short-barreled Nan-Japanese flintlock pistol from the side of the ship, opened the bracket, but knelt on the deck, put the barrel on the side of the ship, and began to carefully look through the hole to find a suitable target on the enemy ship.

The two enemy ships that were running fast were only fifty meters away from them at this time, and if it were normal times, they would have already fired cannons and started bombarding these enemy ships, but now they were still under Lin Shouche's order, keeping silent, quietly waiting for the enemy ships to get closer.

Each soldier carried a flintlock pistol and lassoed one of the enemies on the opposing ship with a light door and a crosshair, but they did not fire, because they knew that the distance of fifty meters was already within the effective range of the flintlock pistol in their hands, but it did not ensure an accurate hit on the enemy.

So they preferred to put the enemy closer to the enemy with limited ammunition, and suddenly there was an eerie silence on the sea.

The performance of this "ghost ship" made those Chu Cailao's subordinates a little surprised, they thought that this ghost ship should have been angry with them a long time ago, but they didn't expect that when they were forced to such a close distance, the ghost ship with damaged sails still didn't fire a single shot.

So some of Chu Cai's subordinates became rampant, and someone suddenly shouted: "Ha Lu Ha! The ghosts on that 'ghost ship' are scared! I guess they also know that they can't run today, so they're going to descend! ”

Some people also guessed the situation on Lin Shouche's ship, and Da Lu shouted with a smile: "They must be out of ammunition on board!" Ha Lu Ha! How rampant they are now! Brethren, they're out of the question! Ha Lu Ha! ”

A captain with a boat also roughly guessed the predicament faced by this "ghost boat" at this time, walked to the side of the boat with a big grin, looked at Lin Shouche's boat with his waist crossed, and shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers, don't be afraid of them anymore!" At this point, I guess they're out of ammo! Look what else they're up to! Let's catch it alive today! After going back, Shopkeeper Xiao has said in advance, and he will definitely be rewarded!

Give them a few shots first to let them taste our awesomeness, and save them a while! Come on, fire! Give Lao Tzu a few blows to them! ”

As soon as his whistle fell, the three cannons on his ship were lit, and the three cannons rang out, and then the chaotic cannons flew towards Lin Shouche's ship.

All kinds of cannons swept through the hull of the sea wolf ship like rain, and the hull crackled everywhere, but their shelling was like an itch for this sturdy ship, and at most it was just to scare and scare people.

However, the sea wolf tribe on the ship was basically hidden in the side or cabin of the ship at this time, only Lin Shouche stood upright at the stern of the ship, coldly looking at the enemy ships rushing over.

When several of the sail repairers saw the shelling, they immediately threw themselves on the deck, unharmed, and as soon as the shelling had passed, they began to get up again to repair the sails.

The helmsman shouted, "Captain Lin, you better hide first!" ”

Lin Shouche shook his head and said: "Take your helm, don't worry about me, forgive them and can't help Lao Tzu!" All of them! Let them get closer! ”

The soldiers who were lying on the side of the ship were wielding flintlock pistols, turned their heads to look at Lin Shouche, and they all admired the captain who had not taken them for a long time, so they all steadied themselves and began to aim again.

The speed at which the enemy ship rushed was not slow, and it soon approached a distance of thirty meters, which was basically close at sea in terms of the sea.

It was only at this time that Lin Shouche burst into a loud voice and said, "Fire!" ”

From front to back, the whole ship, after hearing Lin Shouche's roar, suddenly turned into a fire-breathing fire dragon, starting from the bow of the ship, to the sides and even the stern of the ship, all the guns and muskets suddenly fired.

The hull of the ship shook violently under the recoil of the guns, and the flames from the muzzles of the guns licked the sea and rushed out of a long distance, and the smoke of gunpowder suddenly filled the entire ship.

Smoke rose from all parts of the ship, and the two enemy ships rushing towards it were as if they had suddenly been hit with a stick, and the bow of one of them was being hit by the twelve-pound cannon in the bow.

At such a close distance, the huge energy carried by the shells of the twelve-pound guns tore open the bow of the ship like tearing window paper, and the entire bow was immediately punched out of a large hole the size of a bathtub, and after the cannonball tore the bow of the ship, it did not consume all the energy it carried, and continued to fly forward, and then successively pierced through the partitions in the two layers of hull, and almost completely destroyed the third partition.

The boat was like suddenly hitting a reef in the middle of a speed, the hull shook violently, and a large amount of seawater poured directly into the hull from the cracked bow, and the old subordinates of Chu Cai on the boat were all shocked, and let out an exclamation on the boat.

"Grandma's, this ghost ship still has cannons! Who the fuck just said they were out of ammo? Hurry back! Some of the minions were lying on the boat, and the colorless screamed in horror.

Lin Shouche clenched his fist and shook his arm suddenly, and Da Lu shouted with a smile: "Fight beautifully!" Ha Lu Ha! Now the ship has almost half a life left! Keep calling me! ”

Don't look at the power of these ten flintlock pistols compared to the cannon, it is very inconspicuous, but at a distance of thirty meters, they can give full play to their accuracy advantage, and these soldiers have been aiming for a long time, and they are all aiming at the target one by one, and once they fire, they must not be underestimated.

And what else could be the best goal? It was the captain of the enemy ship who was standing on the boat just now and shouting, and it was the two soldiers who aimed at the guy almost at the same time.

After firing, I saw that the guy screamed strangely, and disappeared on the side of the ship in the blink of an eye, and after a while, he heard someone on the enemy ship shouting: "Liu Zhang's boat has been killed!" Liu Zhangchuan was killed! ……”

And when the musket was fired, it was not only the man surnamed Liu who was unlucky with him, but at the same time, there were three or four minions who were shot and knocked down, and this time the two boats that were forced up were turned around, and for a while they were forced to turn quickly, trying to dodge, and they didn't dare to force up again.

However, such a blow was only a flashback for the Sea Wolf troops, because after they completed this round of strikes, there was not much ammunition left for the ship's artillery, and the only ammunition left was not even enough for all the guns to complete another salvo.

There were only three rounds of ammunition left for the six-pounder gun and only one round of ammunition for the twelve-pounder gun, and in the absence of timely supplies, their predicament today was also caused by this.

When he saw that his cannon was out of ammunition, the gunner turned around and went to the deck without saying a word, grabbed his knife and gun, and the remaining gunner with ammunition immediately began the last reload.

The sudden counterattack of this sea wolf ship blinded several Chu Cailao boats that surrounded them, and one by one unconsciously slowed down the approaching speed, for fear that this ghost ship would be powerful again, making them the next victims, and the boat with a big hole in the bow of the ship, because of a large amount of water in the front of the ship, the bow of the ship had begun to sink, and it basically lost the ability to continue to participate in the operation.

In just a while, Chu Cai Lao lost two more boats, and the boat that initially tried to intercept the three sea wolf boats, because it was too seriously injured, at this time, after completing the task of intercepting the last sea wolf ship, it had already turned over because the hull was too much water, and it had turned on its side, and at this time it had been belly upside down on the sea, revealing its mottled bottom full of sea creatures.

The minions on the ship had already jumped into the sea by this time, desperately swimming towards the nearby friendly boats.

(Acute enteritis is ferocious, but it goes fast, I feel good today, thank you for the tips of the two brothers, King Nanbo and Hu Lulu!) )
