Compared to the fireship that went downstream, it slid out a beautiful arc in the air, and the 'Congreve rocket' that smashed through the head and face was faster and brought damage to the Yin army.

In the abyssal sea, where the horse leads, there is still a distance of more than a kilometer from the nearest fourth-class battleship.

The fastest rocket is already about to land, or fall into the water; There were more than 200 rounds left, and they fell in a little more than ten seconds.

The specific results achieved by these rockets are, on the whole, quite good.

The reason why this is the case is that it is carefully calculated, this is the third time Hu Biao has made this thing, and it can be said that he is quite experienced.

Although the disadvantages of the quasi-head are a little worse, there is no way to completely solve them at present.

Therefore, a total of 235 rockets were called, about 20% hit the target, and the others were either far away or close, and I don't know how far they deviated.

However, in the kill section that could not withstand these rockets, there were many contents filled with vegetable oil, except for a small amount of gunpowder, and the rest were vegetable oil mixed with sugar.

This thing only needs a temperature of 190 degrees Celsius to ignite, and the burning time is relatively long.

One of the most critical points is the time-delay fuze installed on the rocket, and the current team has a fairly good level of production technology.

That is, the error is within 10 seconds, and it will not seem too outrageous.

Therefore, almost all of the 20 percent of the rockets that did not miss exploded in the air at a height of a few to 30 meters above the battleship.

At the moment of the explosion, the gunpowder in the warhead ignited the vegetable oil.

And the shock wave generated disperses the burning oil.

In the eyes of a group of people who were watching the battle on tiptoe, they could suddenly see a mass of flames with a dozen square meters or even a larger area, enveloping the warships and transport ships of the Yin Army below.

Compared to the fireworks set off during the New Year's Festival, I don't know how spectacular and lively it is.

It's just that in this spectacular and beautiful scene, it has brought amazing damage to the Yin Army battleship below.

The warships of the Yin Army, if they are usually berthed, usually put away their sails; But in the last few nights, haven't Hu Biao and the others been frantically harassing?

In order to be able to move quickly and avoid the most threatening fireships at critical times,

The Yin army did not put away all the sails, and still kept a considerable part, in order to be able to move the stopped battleship quickly to avoid it at a critical moment.

So when these volleys of fire rained down one after another, they immediately ignited the sails of the fifteen or sixteen ships below.

In a very short time, it burned violently, so that all the mast positions turned into a big torch.

In addition, there were many sparks that landed on the wooden deck and hull of the Yin Army battleship.

It is also attached to the fire and burns, so that the fire point continues to expand.

Because too many places were burned, not long after the rockets were launched, the entire water surface of Baietan, was illuminated.

The huge light of the fire could be seen clearly from far away.

I have to say that in the past hundred years, the Great Yin Energy has become the awesome empire that never sets on this planet, and it still has a brush.

If it was replaced by Daqing's sailors, in such a situation, the sailors on the boat would definitely have jumped into the water and run away.

Dingtian can have a commander who wipes his neck or dives into the water to be loyal to such a court.

But at present, in many aspects such as the professionalism and combat effectiveness of naval personnel, it can definitely be regarded as the strongest Great Yin Fleet on the entire planet, but it has a quite bright performance.

In this year, there was no special damage management team on the battleship.

However, a considerable number of the sailors of the Yin Army frantically chopped the burning mast with axes, and still slashed at the side of the hull.

Under their near-frenzied felling, the thick mast broke in a short time.

And it poured towards the Pearl River on the side of the ship, and let the river extinguish the burning mast and sails.

There are also many sailors, who are holding buckets, mops, human pumps and other fire-fighting tools, trying to extinguish the flames on the deck.

They did not do a good job of extinguishing the fire, and the fires that were burning on the wooden deck and hull were quickly extinguished.

The main reason for such a scene is that this mission is too hasty, and Hu Biao and the others have no way to get some suitable oil for a while.

After all, it will take more than 20 years for kerosene and other industrial oils to be imported from foreign countries.

In the southern part of eastern Guangdong, there is no oil at all, and it is too late to get it from other places.

Therefore, Hu Biao and they can only use vegetable oils such as rapeseed oil, which are still a little worse in terms of continuous combustion and water resistance after adding sugar.

Of course, no matter how professional and powerful the sailors of the Yin Army are, no matter how bad the rockets made by netizens are.

Suddenly facing such a sudden air strike, it is not so easy to withstand it.

In the process of fighting the fire of the sailors of the Yin Army, from time to time there was a huge explosion sounded; The sailors who were originally extinguishing the fire were immediately put down.

It was a powder keg that had been placed on the deck by the Yin Army to supply the charge for the deck guns, which had been ignited before the successful transfer; Immediately after the black powder caught fire, there was a huge explosion.

Such an explosion at the deck position was not enough to directly sink a ship with a displacement of at least 600 tons.

Even the displacement can reach thousands of tons of battleships.

But in addition to blowing up many sailors, it also tore out large holes in the wooden deck; Let the formation of the Yin Army battleship be even more chaotic now.

For a time, the entire Yin army fleet, facing those fireships that went downstream, used cannon fire, intercepted firepower, and evaded the actions of the fireships, which had a considerable impact.

In short, the Yin army fleet on the Yangcheng battlefield originally had a total of thirty-five ships.

On the 9th a few days ago, in the artillery battle that opened the channel in Shiziyang, two steam paddle steamer battleships were directly knocked out, and now there are thirty-three left.

Under the beckoning of this round of Congreve rockets, although none of them were directly sunk.

It has also caused seventy percent of the ships to burn more or less at present; Soon after, the warships with the Yin Army began to sink.

These Yin warships, which sank quickly, were not burned by fireships.

To be more precise, it was when the first abyss sea was desperately rocking the ship's oars, so that the fireship under control was still about a kilometer away from the nearest warship.

Suddenly, a group of sailors who were busy lifting anchors, extinguishing fires, and firing guns suddenly felt two loud noises under the water.

In such a loud noise, it was a trivial matter that they almost fell because of the violent shaking of their feet.

The key is that in the seconds before and after, a fourth-class battleship and a steam paddlewheel battleship have fallen into bad luck.

In the loud noise, the two ships immediately jumped from the water as if they were grabbed by an invisible hand.

When the bottom of the ship was out of the water, the surrounding sailors could see in the firelight that there was a terrifying hole in the side of the ship.

After one of the fourth-level battleships fell into the water, it was directly broken into two because the keel was blown up.

The rest of the steam paddle steamer was in slightly better shape because of the steel plates on its hull, but it was only better.

Because of the waterline on the side of the ship, the hole that was blown open was too big, and I am afraid that it could not be as big as the table top of a few Eight Immortals tables.

After such a large hole was opened, the boiling water in the Pearl River suddenly poured into the hull of the ship with an astonishing speed and flow.

Because the speed was so fast that it was too late for the surviving sailors on board to do anything; What closed the hatch and kept the warship unsinkable by the shot of the watertight compartment was simply a joke.

Anyway, by now, these two ships can be considered dead.

So for Hu Biao and other netizens, as well as the people under his command, there are still thirty-one big Yin ships that they need to kill......

*****

With a pair of burdens far beyond ordinary people, after getting out of the water, the concubine immediately took a big breath.

The two explosions that came from the water just now were actually her handiwork.

To be more precise, it was the handiwork of her and AT.

Originally, it was planned that all the old birds of the team, relying on the long breath-holding time brought by the strong internal force, to install mines on the bottom of the Yin Army ship, but due to some irresistible reasons, it was canceled.

Specifically, it is because the mines they make are all shells made of wood.

waterproofing made of tung oil and beeswax in the crevices; In order to ensure sufficient power in the event of an explosion, it was filled with fifty kilograms of black powder in one go.

It's just that this way, coupled with some design to ensure buoyancy, leads to the size of the mine being a little too large.

The big lump of mines is so big that it can't fit into the space baggage of 0.5 cubic capacity, and such a big lump naturally cuts off the possibility of a group of old birds pushing and diving all the way over.

What to do? Of course, I put it in the space ring, and then dive all the way to it, and then take it out.

It's just that the team has reached the current level, and there are only three spatial rings in total; Hu Biao has a 10 cubic capacity, and AT and Xufeng each have a 2 cubic capacity.

As a result, during the teleportation of this mission, the immortal Xufeng teleportation failed.

There are only two space rings left, and they can only let the two of them have such an operation to secretly plant mines.

There is a girl like Guifei in the action team of the two, because she is in the modern plane, and she originally has an international diving OW certificate, which is considered an underwater professional.

You can even be qualified to take the AOW for a more advanced certificate.

However, it is said that because of the extremely dangerous behavior of swimming with wild sharks, he was blacklisted by relevant agencies, which is completely hopeless.

So this girl grabbed a place in the action, but Hu Biao didn't have the slightest opinion.

What made Hu Biao have an opinion was that he originally asked people to use fish skin for the concubine, and made a fairly strict water backing for her to wear.

But after wearing it and going into the water once, after the concubine cut it indiscriminately, the water lean became a three-point biki style.

The reason given is that her capital is too big, and if she doesn't cut it, she will seriously accumulate water in the middle of the water, causing the whole person to sink to the bottom of the water with too much weight.

Special! Hu Biao had heard of the term 'stagnant water' for the first time, so he could only let the concubine do so.

Of course, it doesn't matter at all.

The important thing is that after the two of them were dispatched, they took advantage of the moment when the fireship led by Yuanhai was dispatched; began to use long coffin nails to nail the mines one by one to the side of the hull of each ship.

The reason why I want to take advantage of the opportunity is because there is a lot of movement when I am nailing.

There are so many people on the Yin Army ship who stay up all night guarding it, and if they don't take advantage of their attention to be attracted, they will really be exposed in advance because they hear the movement.

Or maybe the whole process was seen by the sailors on other warships.

After all, Baietan, which is only in the middle of the river, is not like the harbor where there is still the sound of the waves.

In this way, after the two of them installed a total of eight mines, although in the space ring of the concubine, there are still two mines that have not been installed.

But she and AT coincidentally, like being run over by a dog, used the fastest speed to get away from the Yin fleet.

Because of the delay fuse of these mines, the design is to detonate the gunpowder five minutes after the fuse is pulled.

Although it was only some black powder, how could it be child's play to weigh 50 kilograms?

After the two of them planted the seventh and eighth mines respectively, there was not much time left for the first and second mines to explode.

If you don't want to be blown up or shocked to death, it's best to run as far as you can.

Combining all of the above, it is equivalent to the explosion of these two warships, which is just the beginning, and there are six mines that have not had time to explode in the future.

Remove these six, and there is no good end to the battleship.

So if you count it seriously, there are only twenty-five Yin Army warships left that they need to solve.

It's just that the concubine and AT, when the two of them are on the water more than a hundred meters away from the chaotic fleet of the Yin Army, taking a big breath of fresh air.

The eyes did not look at the warships that had been mined, but had not yet exploded.

Instead, they all looked in the direction of the upper reaches of the White Goose Pond.

Because at such a time, Yuanhai and the others, who were attacking with a burning ship, were also at the most critical and dangerous time, and it would be immediately clear whether they could burn a few ships......

With a sound of 'bah~', Yuanhai's mouth spat out a mouthful of bloody river water.

No way! Even if it was caused by rockets, wooden-shelled mines, etc., it involved a large part of the energy of a large number of Yin fleets.

However, the firepower of the Yin fleet is too strong; Even if it's just a part of it, the process of still making them rush over is extremely difficult.

Dense shells continued to fall on them, causing casualties to the fireship troops he led.

Just now, a flowering bullet landed on him at about 7 o'clock, right behind a fireship; There was not the slightest suspense at all, and the ship was blown apart on the spot.

At the same time, there was a shock wave that was generated in all directions, and there was a splash of water that rushed into the sky.

Not only did the boat where Yuanhai was located, but it was also immediately crumbling to the ground, and it almost capsized.

A wet plank flew up and smashed into his left cheek, so much so that the left side of his face was swollen now.

The only thing I can be thankful about is that it's the time now.

He was only less than three or four hundred meters away from the few warships on the periphery of the Yin Army's fleet, and now they still had almost ordinary fireships surviving.

As they went down the river, and they were frantically shaking the oars, they had only a minute to rush over and slam into the ships and set them on fire.

But even so, Yuanhai didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness in his heart.

Because he knew that the closer the Yin fleet became, the more accurate the opponent's artillery would be, and he would even have to face the fire of the sailors on the ship.

So, when they are really tested, it's just the beginning.

The development of things is also as expected by Yuanhai.

In the minute that passed, even for him, an old bird who had participated in the third mission and had experienced many tragic battles, it was still an extremely painful memory.

At a distance of two hundred to three hundred meters from the fleet of the Yin Army.

In the deafening rumbling of artillery fire, almost every second or two; There is a fireship that has been directly exploded, or the hull of the ship has been torn apart and overturned by a near-miss bullet.

In order to rush through this hundred meters, nearly twenty ships were reduced in crew; The people who sailed the boat above had no chance of surviving.

Among them is the fish seller, an indigenous brother he is already familiar with.

At that time, after Yuanhai felt something, he turned around and saw that the fish seller was winning, and the boat he was in had been completely broken in two.

It is sinking rapidly under the pressure of heavy firewood and oil tanks.

Relying on the good water quality, Yu Sheng is still fluttering on the water, but all his efforts will eventually be broken by the chains on the ankle rings.

But before being dragged by the chain and sinking, there was no fear of death in the eyes of this little brother.

If there must be anything, only a group of unwilling to break through the fire blockade of the Yin army and set fire to the battleship to avenge their families.

And after meeting the eyes of the deep sea, the color of heavy supplication suddenly rose.

"Don't worry, don't you just want to burn the ship of the yin man and ghost, my deep sea is arched, and I will definitely help you complete your share."

Yuanhai, who understood what the other party was praying for, replied with such a look in his eyes.

Then selling Yusheng, a young boy, after receiving such a look from Yuanhai, stopped struggling and fluttering on the water.

With an indescribable calmness and calmness, he sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared from his field of vision......
