Chapter 1131: Suicide Ship
Seeing the speed of the Datang Navy Division's warship, these Fusang people also knew that they had to seize the opportunity, they had to rush to within fifty meters, and then ignite the flammable materials on the ship, and crash into the Datang Naval Division's warship at the fastest speed, this is the special tactic they thought of.
When this was first mentioned, many people thought it was incredible, but after careful consideration, they realized that this was the only way, and if they didn't adopt such a method now, then their city would be like Fukuoka and Nagasaki, and become a defeated enemy under the Tang Dynasty naval warships.
The chosen ones were also forced to do so, but they had no other choice, because the officers and soldiers on the shore had already captured their families, and if they did not do so, then your family would have to be executed.
Of course, the people on the shore also told them that as long as the boat hits the Tang Navy warship, then your family will be able to have a good treatment, and you will be able to get a share of the land, and you will not be completely without a way to live, and you can swim back after the boat hits.
The people in the coastal cities of Fuso have a good water nature, not to mention that it is not far from the shore, and it is very possible for them to swim back by grabbing a few planks.
Ding Jiayong did not give up the artillery, after all, when the artillery blows up a huge column of water, it can also bring some damage to these small boats, if you are close to the place where the cannonball exploded, then with your broken ship, it is very likely that it will be directly overturned by those waves.
And the exploding water column will also wet their entire hull, since they know that there are flammable materials on their ship, then they will definitely ignite it later, soak all the flammable materials on your ship, and see how you wait to light it.
At first, the artillerymen did not understand what the general meant, because the boats were not too dense, so the shells did not play a big role, but now that they have overturned so much, they also know how to play.
The people of the Marine Corps are already waiting nervously, Ding Jiayong also gave them a lecture just now, you are the last barrier of our entire fleet, and you must be accurate in a while, either kill the people on the ship, or penetrate the ship.
As long as the ship is in the water, then don't worry about him, in the case of water, they can't ignite the things on the ship, and their speed will be reduced, so the marines must listen to the command and concentrate on attacking the front ship first.
At this moment, these people are nervous, according to their previous positioning of themselves, it should be to run to the land to attack, but I didn't expect that now there are tasks at sea, of course, their marksmanship is no problem, at least when training, there are countless bullets supplied, food is good, warm clothing, now if you can't fight, then wait to go back and be punished.
"There is a boat on the left side that goes into range."
The speed of the boat is still very fast, mainly because there is no strong wind on the sea today, and if there is a strong wind blowing on land, even if these people are exhausted, they will not be able to slide too far.
When choosing these boats, they specially chose some of the more pointed, and those who often live by the sea know that only such boats can travel fast and are not easy to be knocked down.
It's just that there aren't many things on this kind of ship, which is also a disadvantage, and it is impossible for you to take all the benefits anyway.
"All ready."
The officer of the Marine Corps gave the order, and more than thirty guns were ready on the left ship.
"Shoot."
When the officers of the Marine Corps gave the order, more than 30 guns crackled and fired, because they were still using powdered gunpowder with smoke, so when they fired, there was white smoke everywhere around.
The people on the small boat never thought that in addition to those cannons, how could the Tang soldiers have so many small cannons?
After entering the last few hundred meters according to their ideas, those cannons will all hit their back, which will not cause them much damage, and all that remains is to find a way to point the boat, and then rush to the front of the Tang Naval Division, and they will find a wooden plank to float back.
But it was a pity that this idea did not work, because some small cannons appeared on the sides of the ship, and just when these Fuso people were wondering, they suddenly felt a pain in their chests.
These cannons are not very powerful, but they are enough to kill them.
Others saw that the bow of their ship had been pierced, and although it was only a hole the size of a palm, the sea water was constantly coming in, soaking a lot of things on board.
This hole is easy to be blocked, as long as you take off the clothes on your body, and then you can block it, but soon more holes appear around, what do you use to plug it?
"Hurry up, light the fire."
The Fusang officers who led the team couldn't manage so much, and now they were still a hundred meters away from the Tang Navy Division's warship, but they had to ignite the fire, if they didn't ignite it now, they probably wouldn't be able to rush when they all died.
Ding Jiayong saw that the boats at the front were all on fire.
Ding Jiayong saw that the boats at the front were all on fire.
However, the fire was not big, after all, when the cannon was fired just now, a large amount of seawater had wet some of the flammable materials on the ship, so now except for the place where the lamp oil was sold, the other hay has become wet grass, and it cannot be lit at all.
But not all of the boats were wet, for example, the boats on the left rear burned to the brim.
"Accelerate, accelerate."
Ding Jiayong patted the side of the boat vigorously, urging the boat in front to run quickly, but now the speed has reached the limit.
The warships on both sides are made of wood, and if they turn around, they won't be able to run, which Ding Jiayong knows very well in his heart, although the Tang warships in the rear are relatively large, but the fire burns very quickly.
The warships on both sides are made of wood, and as long as they are touched, they can't run, which Ding Jiayong knows very well in his heart, although the Tang warships in the rear are relatively large, but the fire burns very quickly.
"Turn around and go back to save people."
In desperation, Ding Jiayong could only give this order, and the marines on both sides also fought faster and more accurately, and only by building more ships could they better save people.
