Chapter 147: Desperately Preventing the Enemy Navy from Escaping
The soldiers used their lives and blood to block the enemy's retreat, so they erected a wall of fire behind the enemy ship!
The wall of fire locks the sea and cuts off the opponent's retreat! At the same time, he shouted the cries of the soldiers: "Don't let the red-haired ghost escape!" Offensive! Destroy them! The shouts were accompanied by a wail: "Uh! Yes! ”
This was under the bombardment of the cannons of the red-haired ghosts, and many people died because of it!
Seeing this, Zhang Biwu shouted: "Hurry up! Forward! Now that the red-haired ghosts have been dragged down, their warships are confined to a narrow area and cannot be used! We must go all out! "Yes! It is to inspire the soldiers not to be afraid and continue to forge ahead! There must not be a trace of backsliding!
The flag-bearers on the mast immediately waved the flags, allowing the ships to move forward quickly and fire continuously.
There were two other fleets that quickly penetrated the rear of the coalition forces, along the wall of fire to prevent the coalition forces from escaping.
The speed of the ship is very fast, and it is sparing, because the speed is too fast, there will naturally be unfortunate things, such as the ship does not see the protruding reef clearly, or the reef hits the reef and sinks.
Even if three ships have suffered such a fate, but the other ships still do not stop moving, three ships sink, naturally someone will go to rescue the people who have fallen into the water, the important thing is to intercept the enemy's escape route, so that the enemy can escape.
Of course, the coalition forces could see the intentions of the Chinese sailors, and immediately made the three battleships form sharp knives, so as to stab them in the rear to tear a hole, so that the other warships could escape with them.
At the same time, the forward warships of the coalition forces were lined up. The other ships were also next to each other. At the same time, it was constantly firing. There were also some warships that rushed to the rear of the mountain with the three battleships of the sharp knife.
Zhang Biwu punched the guardrail hard. Shouted: "The enemy wants to escape!" Can't let them escape! Zhang Biwu was ordering to speed up, but his sailor was already moving at the highest speed, and it was not easy to increase the speed!
Of course, Zhang Biwu could only hope to release the warships, assault boats, etc., so that they could quickly disrupt the enemy and prevent the enemy's escape from succeeding. It's just that if you want to destroy the three battleships in the rear, you can only rely on the people who are lying in ambush behind.
They weren't afraid, it was the frogman trained by Zheng Chenggong who started to act, and the frogman pushed the dragon boat against the current and rushed towards the three enemy ships.
The enemy ships are also fast, using their guns to clear the way. Blow up the wall of fire in front of you to clear the way.
After being hit by the cannon in the dragon ship, it was blown into the sky, and some of the dragon ships also had gunpowder, which caused a series of explosions.
At this time, the coalition forces understood everything, but they heard the red-haired ghost's cry: "Never let their small fireboat come close!" ”
It was too late, both sides were moving at great speed, so the dragon ship had already reached the three battleships that were charging ahead.
But seeing that there was a rumbling sound, the masts were blown into the sky. There's a red-haired ghost on it! A Portuguese flag flew to the deck of a battleship in the rear with a whoosh. The enemy soldier standing on the deck was so frightened that he flashed in a hurry, and the flag was planted in the direction where he had just stood.
He was so frightened that he couldn't hold the gun in his hand. It just fell to the ground. At this time, the battleship was blown up because the three battleships in front of it were all hit by the fire dragon ship, and this battleship was extremely fast, but it couldn't stop it.
The people on board the battleship let out a terrified cry as the battleship crashed straight into the reef! The battleship will sink! It's too fast! Can't stop!
Bumped in! With a bang, the reef shattered, and the rubble splattered in all directions. The battleship also capsized, the bottom side up, the top side down, and one corner was planted in the sea, and the ship was slowly sinking!
The red-haired ghosts jumped into the water one after another, screaming and shouting that someone was coming to save them, and the most important thing was to save their lives first.
And the other one behind this battleship came to a quick stop, after all, it didn't want to hit the rocks. It can stop, but there is no guarantee that even a single battleship will succeed in stopping!
No, there was a battleship behind that that crashed into it quickly, and it really hit it honestly. The battleship that came to a halt was spinning on the water, and as it entered the water, the ship began to sink slowly.
The one behind seems to have collided head-on, and it was also not lightly injured! I can't move.
It seems that the coalition forces did not go through the attack of Zhang Biwu's army, they were in chaos first, and it was difficult to retreat south to escape from the unfavorable battlefield.
Zhang Biwu even waved the command flag so that his flagship was the first to rush over, how could the other warships lag behind?
The first to rush ahead were the Dutch naval warships that were captured during the reconquest of Taiwan, these warships were indeed very fast, and all the Chinese ships could not match, and the guns on the battleships were very advanced, with long range and high accuracy.
They have to act as a deterrent to the enemy by destroying each other.
When the red-haired ghost saw it, they were all stupid, although the Chinese sailors had dispatched more than 2,000 warships in this ambush, but mainly wooden sailing ships, it can be said that their warships are lagging behind the coalition forces, and even firearms such as guns and cannons are seriously backward, but now the situation is different!
Because they saw that the Chinese sailors sent deck ships that were also loaded with ironclad armor, or they were the most advanced, these were the warships of the former Dutch Navy, and the use of the captured warships was to remind every soldier of the Dutch Navy that they had all been defeated by the Chinese sailors.
The same is for people to use, but in the hands of the Netherlands and Portugal, it has not been able to play its full role.
And with the use of the Chinese naval divisions, these advanced warships immediately played a 120 percent role.
No, a Dutch battleship and a Portuguese battleship opened fire happily, but they could not resist the shelling of these battleships that rushed forward.
The most important thing is that the officers and men on the Chinese warships are not afraid of death, unlike the Dutch and Portuguese warships, as soon as the battleship is wounded, they immediately want to sail away and withdraw from the battlefield.
The Chinese battleship was damaged, and the sailors on the ship insisted on fighting, and they wanted to use water to extinguish the fire on the battleship, and as long as the people were still alive, they had to keep fighting.
So a Dutch and Portuguese warship was sunk. These were the first two coalition warships to be sunk at the beginning of the ambush, and the morale of the coalition forces was quite a big blow.
The Dutch navy no longer had confidence, because among them was the Van der Rana fleet that participated in the battle to save Taiwan, and as soon as Van der Rana heard about the war with Zhang Biwu, he was full of emotions, but as a soldier, he had to obey orders as his duty, and he had to go hard.
Now, of course, he doesn't want to resist anymore, he slips away first, and as soon as he slips away, others can't see the heroic Vanderrain, and in the battle of Taiwan, Zhang Jun's bravery has long been transplanted into the Dutch army, and they have no intention of fighting again. Think about it, even the Dutch don't have the heart to fight anymore, how can Portugal support it alone? Of course, I also want to leave.
Zhang Jun's assault boat was the first to ram one of the coalition's most rearly warships to secure it and prevent it from escaping. In a matter of moments, all the other ships came in and surrounded them tightly.
The people on the boat immediately set up ladders, and they bravely climbed up one after the other!
The red-haired ghost screamed nervously, "Oh! O my God! Oh no! The enemy is coming! Fast! Stop them! So a great crowd came forward, armed with firearms, and they were shooting at the people who rushed up.
A person who had just come out of nowhere was shot and fell, and with a "bang", there was a splash!
Another soldier appeared with a shield, and when a shot came, the shield in his hand could not be protected, and a hole was pierced, and his hand was bleeding after being hit!
He shouted and flew towards the red-haired ghost, of course the red-haired ghost in this row would not let him succeed! Shoot them all together! But seeing that he had been shot several times and that there was smoke coming from his body, he was standing upright on the ground.
"Kill!" One soldier after another swept past him, unafraid of the red-haired ghost's bullets. One fell, and another followed.
The warriors rushed to the red-haired ghost, and the big knife in their hands slashed the red-haired ghost to cry wolf, and one after another fell on the deck.
Before the warriors got close, most of the birds and beasts scattered, but how could their speed compare to the warriors? Those who run slowly are hit by knives or swords or even halberds and guns in their backs, and those who run fast are either hit by arrows or guns.
The red-haired ghost screamed and ran away! They shouted: "The Chinese have wielded!" O my God! They're amazing! Run! Run! ”
Those who are close to the dinghy put down the dinghy and immediately run for their lives, and those who are not in a hurry run to the edge of the boat, and with a bang, they get into the water and swim desperately.
As for the slow runners, they had to raise their guns above their heads with both hands, crouched down, and kept begging for mercy. Since then, the ship has fallen into the hands of Zhang Jun.
Several battleships in a row could not move, and when they saw that the people on the battleship just now either surrendered or were killed, or fled, they naturally understood that they must not let the Chinese soldiers board the ship, otherwise, they would also suffer a great setback!
No, the red-haired ghosts gathered around the boat one after another, and when a red-haired ghost shot from the edge of the boat, an arrow hit him in the neck, and he clutched his wounds, screamed, and fell to the ground on his back.
His gun fell, just as it landed on the dinghy, and the soldier on the boat picked up the gun and shot at the red-haired ghost above. (To be continued......)
