Chapter 1132: The Sailor's Frustration
"Except for our ship, the other ships have accelerated my departure, and they are only allowed to help on the periphery, and they are never allowed to turn around."
Ding Jiayong saw that the other warships also wanted to go back and turn around, of course he could understand their current mood, but there were some things that could not be done for me, and it was clear that these Fusang boats did not want to go back alive, they just wanted to die with us.
You're getting out now, and if you turn around and come back, you'll be fooling them, and there are hundreds of these boats in the distance, and if we let them all come, we're not going to live."
There are two Tang Navy warships that have already burned, although the brothers on board have worked hard to put out the fire, but it is obvious that the effect is not great.
This is also something that can't be helped, you must know that all the sailor warships are made of wood, although they are at sea, but if this thing is messed with Mars, it will not be able to hold on.
"Leave it alone, dive all in."
Ding Jiayong said loudly with a loudspeaker, it is too difficult for the big ship to turn around, earlier I only knew that the combat effectiveness of the big ship is relatively high, after all, the number of artillery on it is relatively large, and the lethality to the enemy is also great, but judging from the current situation, if a group of small boats are mobilized, maybe the effect will be better.
Take Ding Jiayong's flagship as an example, it takes about ten minutes to turn around, and the two ships that were ignited just now were only a little, and now they have spread to a third.
The smallest of the Tang Navy Division's warships is only more than 20 meters, there are only two layers on it, and there are only ten cannons on one side of the battery.
Under Ding Jiayong's order, many sailors threw away what they were left of, and then quickly jumped into the water.
The Tang Navy Division recruits soldiers very strictly, and the most important thing is that you must be able to use water, and if you don't know how to water in this era, then don't go to work on the ship at all.
When these people jumped into the water, they desperately swam far away, Ding Jiayong also asked his subordinates to throw down the rope, usually this is all trained, but everyone thinks that there is no need at all, can anyone else sink our Datang sailor warship?
Seeing that Ding Jiayong had already begun to save people, and the other sailors and warships were not idle, although they did not dare to kill back, they dared to carry out covering shelling around, and our artillery was large enough, no matter how scattered you were, we could also stop you.
People are afraid, although they all want to rush to Ding Jiayong's side, but between them and Ding Jiayong's big ship, the artillery forms an invisible barrier, if you want to rush up, then I am afraid you have to risk the destruction of the ship.
There are some who don't want to die, and they do dare to rush forward, but the marines on Ding Jiayong's ship are not vegetarians, dozens of soldiers hold muskets in their hands, as long as you enter the shooting range of the muskets, then wait to be named by us one by one.
There were more than 400 people on the two warships, but now only more than 100 brothers have escaped, and the rest of the people can't run out at all, and the fire has engulfed the whole ship.
Ding Jiayong slammed the ship's railing, then ordered his flagship to hang the sails and distance himself from the Fusang boats.
"Give me a hard beating."
When the distance between them was widened, Ding Jiayong immediately ordered the battleship to cross over and fire like the Fusang people with maximum lethality.
In fact, now these people in Fusang have also seen it, they can't rush up now, their only chance is the surprise attack just now, but unfortunately only two big ships were burned, Ding Jiayong brought a total of nine big ships, and this result is also quite good.
However, the price they paid was also very large, more than a hundred small ships were sunk, but compared to the losses of the Tang Naval Division, they made a profit.
Since the establishment of the Tang Naval Division, no warship has been sunk in the war, except for one that ran aground when entering the bay, they have not even lost in Fusang, and now they have been burned all at once, and there are more than 300 brothers on two big ships, Ding Jiayong's heart is indeed very aggrieved.
The rest of the brothers are also angry, not that our side can't do it, it's just that we didn't expect you to use such a method of warfare, so when the warships were regrouped, they left the side to these Fuso people, and used the fiercest artillery fire to pay tribute to our deceased brothers.
These guys in Fuso can't attack now, they all want to live, and there is an order from the shore to let them retreat, so these people desperately row elsewhere.
But you ran too far ahead just now, and even if you want to run away now, it's not that easy.
The speed of the Datang Navy Division's warships itself was faster than theirs, and now they had lost so many brothers, so they quickly leaned up, relying on the flintlock pistols on the ships, and sank these small boats one by one.
As for these guns on the ship, of course, they have a more important role, which is to shell all the facilities on the shore.
The reason why there were so many suicides just now, the ship just didn't want the warships of the Tang Navy Division to get too close, if the range was not enough, then these buildings on the shore were safe, and now the Tang Navy warships were killed, and these people on land were instantly bombed.
Earlier, when the two princes and kings raised their troops, they had already told their subordinates to send all the important items by the sea to the interior, otherwise it would be the same as Fukuoka and Nagasaki, and it was very likely that they would be taken away directly by the Tang Dynasty sailors.
But some things can be transported, some things can't be transported, many dignitaries and nobles have their courtyards built by the sea, and no one wants to go inland, so at this moment their courtyards have become a sea of fire.
But compared to Fukuoka and Nagasaki, their losses here are the smallest, and Ding Jiayong can also see from the boat that there are not many people on the shore, and if it were on the Fukuoka side, I don't know how many people were killed by the bombing.
"General, look over there, it looks like an official mansion."
The ship's observers soon spotted the target, and there was a clearly different house not far away, which was supposed to be the official residence of a certain bigwig.
