Chapter 444: Engagement Three

When the first ship of the Dongyong Naval Division sank, this was just the beginning.

Aberkui wanted to punch the master to death in Xu Dong, and he also had his own way of coping, which was originally an inverted V-shaped formation that was slowly leveled and began to retreat from the north and south sides of the fleet. And the battleship, which was supposed to lie at the bottom, began to squeeze forward.

And Zheng Shen's ship was the first ship to be squeezed out.

The reason why Aberkui did this was to maintain a complete front and not want Wei Ruizhou to bypass him.

Aberqua is bent on ensuring the integrity of the front and giving full play to the firepower advantage of the Franc machine. Therefore, the most motivating part of the battle turned out to be the bottom of the inverted V.

All the ships here float densely above the sea, and from the sky, the sea is almost invisible, only one warship after another. The warships had covered all the sea.

It was at this time that the Francophone cannons showed their power.

Because of the air tightness problem, the power of the Franc machine plummets as soon as the distance is far away. So a hundred steps away, the power has been reduced a lot. But at the moment, the distance between the two sides is noticeably closer. Even with each other, you can see the faces of the people facing each other clearly.

At such a distance. I don't know who shouted and said, "Swap bombs." ”

A wooden cork was stuffed into the muzzle of the cannon and there was a clanging sound, as if mercury was pouring on the ground, and countless large and small lead beads fell from the muzzle of the cannon into the human system.

I only heard a muffled sound, and this muffled sound seemed to be a little less sharp and piercing than an ordinary cannonball, and the sound paused a lot.

Countless lead beads seemed to be washing the floor, knocking all the living people within this range to the ground, and the small lead beads hit the human body, quickly tumbling up, and tumbling rapidly in the human body, causing an effect similar to a dummy bullet. These people screamed and wried, and wailed, and terrible.

Such an injury can not be saved except for a painful one.

The fierce shotgun took a firm bite of the Franc machine in an instant, and even the people on several gun positions on the side of the ship were swept away.

Don't rejoice too soon, though.

Since the scatter bomb has such a great effect, the Franc machine man will naturally not use it. And the distance between the two sides is so close, every shot is swept.

The efficiency of humans in killing themselves has increased dramatically, I don't know how much.

For a while, the sound of artillery slowly thinned out, not the sound of artillery, it was used less, and not everyone learned to be merciful. Moreover, a large number of casualties, especially a large number of casualties among the artillerymen who were fighting on the front line, firstly, the gunners actually felt inadequate.

The insufficient number of artillery pieces has caused a chain reaction. When the artillerymen of both sides were out of line for a while. Not to mention the density of artillery firing.

However, it is also known that the Franc machine has enough reserve gunners. When they came to their senses, it was another bloody battle. But I saw the ship turn its sails violently and hit it fiercely, and there was an earthquake and the mountain shook, and the two ships collided together.

"Kill." Everyone stepped on the bloody deck and rushed up one by one.

"Bang", but I saw a person with both hands and one hand one by one, opening his mouth left and right, opening it twice in a row, and then he didn't know what to call in his mouth and threw away the fire system in his hand, pulled out his long sword, and rushed over.

It's just that they have these means, and there is absolutely no problem with what to deal with pirates. If you deal with Zhu Houhuang's fiercely trained jumping sailors, he will not be an opponent.

It can be said that because Zhu Houhuang repeatedly pulled these jumping helpers out of the battleship and used them for battles in small areas. These jumping helpers have suffered heavy casualties in battle after battle. But whoever survives has become an elite. In addition, Zhu Houhuang will be rewarded for his merits, and many jumping helpers have been promoted.

Zhu Houhuang, intentionally or unintentionally, also trained them to cooperate in combat and instilled them with a formation similar to that of a mandarin duck formation.

It's a pity that the jumping helpers who are valued by Zhu Houhuang are only people with meritorious achievements among the jumping helpers, not the collective of jumping helpers, because in Zhu Houhuang's mind, future battles will rely on artillery, and these jumping helpers will sooner or later sweep into the immediate garbage heap, so why pay more attention.

Therefore, in this battle, the performance of the jumping helpers of the Nanyang Fleet and the jumping helpers of the Dongyong team is clearly distinguished.

In the battle at the bottom of the inverted V, the Yongjun army was mighty and captured two ships in a row, but the other side was not very comfortable, that is, Wei Ruizhou's Nanyang Fleet.

They wanted to bypass the Franco's fleet and flank the back inside and out.

But the Franc fleet would immediately respond to the measurements, and the quantum fleets seemed to be two concentric arcs with each other, circling north together.

The Franc machine worked hard to ensure the position of the counterfire, and worked hard to ensure the output of firepower.

For a while, Wei Ruizhou was embarrassed.

"Damn." Wei Ruizhou's face was blue, and he said secretly: "I must not be defeated this time." ”

In the last battle of the Baiteng River, Wei Ruizhou didn't do it well, and he got off the ship with a sunken ship, if it wasn't for Zhu Houhuang to supplement him, the current Nanyang Fleet would not have such a scale at all.

However, Wei Ruizhou is still full of a sense of crisis, and without Zhu Houhuang's supplement to the Nanyang Fleet, he is changing the attributes of the Nanyang Fleet little by little.

If before, it was said that the Nanyang Fleet belonged to the Wei family, Wei Ruizhou would try his best to deny it, but he would acquiesce to this result, he hoped that he was unique, and Zhu Houhuang could only mobilize this fleet through him.

But Zhu Houhuang absolutely did not allow it, Zhu Houhuang didn't want to use any thunderous means, so he used moisturizing and silent means to pull the Nanyang Fleet into the sequence of Dongyong little by little

For example, the sand that was mixed openly before, as well as the various exchanges between the Nanyang Fleet and the Dongyong Fleet. But these are all subtle advances.

However, in the first battle of the Baiteng River, the Nanyang Fleet suffered heavy losses, and there were those who died in battle, and those who were derelict in their duties. Therefore, Zhu Houhuang transferred several officers from the Dongyong Fleet to fill the Nanyang Fleet, which made the degree of Dongyong of the Nanyang Fleet suddenly increase a lot.

It's a pity that Zhu Houhuang's actions are above board. Let Wei Ruizhou have nothing to say. He knew very well that if this battle was lost again, Zhu Houhuang would have to properly rectify the Nanyang Fleet. When the time comes, Wei Ruizhou can't say what will happen to the Nanyang Fleet.

Therefore, Wei Ruizhou must win, and Wei Ruizhou also understands that Zhu Houhuang values military merit the most, seeing that Yu Dayou was just a broken boy in Fuzhou Wei three years ago, and three years later, he has become a general who sits on one side and controls tens of thousands of bear soldiers.

How could Wei Ruizhou not want to prove himself on the battlefield?

Yes, not everyone can prove themselves on the battlefield. Wei Ruizhou faced a problem.

The Franc battleship is about the same length and height as the Fu ship, but the Franc ship looks a little more slender than the Fu ship, and the Fu ship needs the Fu ship to be a little more bloated in order to load more cargo.

However, the lucky ship just mentioned is a big fortune ship specially built by Zhu Houhuang, and now most of the ships of the Nanyang Fleet led by Wei Ruizhou, except for a few ships, are all shorter than the Franc battleship, which is shorter, and it is doomed to Wei Ruizhou's efforts in vain.

Because of this height difference, it is enough to become a natural danger, even Wei Ruizhou's subordinates also find and throw a rope with a barb, which is hooked on the side of the ship, and the people below climb up. I immediately felt the pressure on it, and although it was a few steps, it was a world of difference.

Then the Franc machine local artillery was used, and the fire was reopened, one by one, whether it was solid or grapeshot. An ancient brain fired at Wei Ruizhou's department, and for a while it was like a fierce artillery fire, and he opened fire.

The nearest ship, like an axe falling into the sky, smashed heavily into the middle of this warship, smashing the deck and smashing the things below.

I heard a loud bang, as if a huge hand had broken the ship.

Zhu Houhuang immediately noticed the main force, and he immediately understood that it was nothing else, it was gunpowder detonation. Zhu Houhuang raised his eyes and saw that the power of this gunpowder explosion was extremely powerful, breaking the entire ship from the middle of the house. And it also scared the courage of the Nanyang Fleet, I am afraid that the Nanyang Fleet will never have the courage to fight to the death again.
