Chapter 1013 Depressed 3
Northwest waters of Ongshan Island
The two large warships that collided closely and stood against each other had become a crowded and chaotic Shura field. A series of roaring sounds almost rushed towards them with the fierce enemy forces.
"Old sea dog..."
"Zong Rulin, you dog thief..."
"Come and get to die quickly..."
On the side pole of the tail building, Zong Rulin, who was surrounded by guards, looked at the other party with some confusion and did not think he knew this person. Could it be that he had accidentally gotten into the other party's wife, daughter or sister before, which caused the other party so much to be so bitter and grudged;
You should know that when he was traveling across the East China Sea, he changed his name and was wandering around the coastal areas, he comforted and approached those women and relatives who had no abnormalities because his family was voyages. After all, his nickname, as a big sea dog, was not only reflected in his style of conduct, but also from a physiological perspective.
However, after thinking about it, he kept firing guns in his hand, hitting out the ammunition of the three-barrel gun and knocking down two enemy soldiers standing at the highest. He then slammed his hands on the face of another enemy soldier who was swaying close to him. He also inserted his knife into the opponent's lower abdomen and dragged it out a large bunch of blood.
After the crossbowmen who were shooting at the opposite end were knocked down and dispersed, the edge of his ship and the side of the opposite side were already covered with greasy figures of armored soldiers, and the other party obviously also dispatched the elite forces on the ship again.
Although it is impossible to wear heavy armor on the ship, these navy athletes have obviously found a solution, which is the leather armor called marshy armor, which is mainly processed using large fish and whale skins. It has a certain thickness of elasticity and toughness, and can defend against scratches of arrows and swords that are shot at a certain distance. Then, iron sheets are placed on the key points, and it becomes the main force and core of the Jump Gang in melee battle.
It not only takes into account basic protection but also ensures flexibility in the water; therefore, compared with those miscellaneous maritime forces, there can be a team of armored naval soldiers and water warriors on the ship, which is the main battle fleet of the Daliang Navy, which can have the standard matching only.
However, in front of the musket, whether it is a marble armor or an iron guard, these sea armor soldiers with full body protection are just broken sieves. They are not as good as civilians or shirtless, and they are more able to provide a sense of security and survival rate than those of civilians. They are blooming in bright red and they are squirting blood on their backs and plunging to the ground.
However, when he was about to repel this wave of enemy forces and take advantage of the situation to counterattack, a huge shadow slowly slowly appeared from the side with a roaring sound of drainage, and once again enveloped the side deck of the "Surge", another intact enemy ship bumped into the side.
The huge shock in an instant made the white soldiers gathered on the deck of the "Surge" to pursue the attack immediately slipped and fell and rolled into a ball, and also made the guns that were firing volleys rise and shoot in unevenly;
As for those enemy ships who tried to retreat when things were not good, they fell from various climbing objects such as freeboards, ropes, grids and masts, but they were hit hard and could not get up for a while;
Then the white soldiers and gunmen who were shaking and trying to maintain balance were stabbed to death and chopped on the deck with the guns and horizontal knives that were moving forward and approaching.
After two flying fish warships that were almost similar to each other hit and stood against each other, they made a harsh friction sound under the waterline, while squeezing each other and making an unbearable cracking sound;
However, it seems that because they were all under the waterline, there was no major damage or leakage. Only some prominent superstructures and railings, sails, cables, and other objects, tangled and tangled, and broken and broken. Various flying fragments overturned the people standing beside each other, and screamed in tears.
The vibration and shaking of the shocks followed by one after another made the crowd standing by the boat unable to stand steadily for a while, and they all misstepped into the sea, or simply got crushed by the gap between the warships and then washed away by the waves, and even the last trace of blood was not left behind.
At this time, the gunmen who had stood firm on the Surge had already lined up in a row, and quickly loaded the first group of ammunition radiating unevenly among the spurted fireworks. The heads and figures that were rushing to emerge from the deck and the ship's side were as barriers, and the figures that were climbing up, screaming and crying among the smoke and debris that were splattering, like dominoes that were knocked down.
However, there was another loud noise, but after a mast on the enemy ship on the oblique side fell down, a team of enemy soldiers came again using this as a springboard and a passage. Then they were knocked over by the projectiles that were shot on the face, and fell on the canvas surface, slipped and rolled into the cracks of the ship, and were swallowed by the rushing sea tide.
"It's still a bit too much..."
Zong Ze looked at the enemy forces rushing towards him like chicken blood, and touched the bloody mouth on his face and said to himself.
I originally planned to wash the deck with melee shotguns and take the opportunity to capture the Flying Fish Warship, which was larger than my own ship, but I didn't expect that it would be like a stinging honeycomb, but I attracted all the enemy ships I could see nearby;
They were so desperate and eager to attack that they directly hit the boat head-on, and regardless of their own damage and destruction, they rushed to jump over the side of the ship to climb onto the side of the ship to support and fight.
So much so that the shooting frequency of the small shotgun cannons fired alternately on the deck and the gun team's rotation platoons were overwhelmed, which made them rush closer and fell into a local fight.
In a blink of an eye, the deck was soaked with slippery blood, and even the waves that splashed up could not be washed away.
Ochre-red foam rippled between the stacked and intertwined corpses. The broken corpses, together with overflowing organs, were hit everywhere and could not get out of their feet.
At this time, new reinforcements and rear teams emerged from the cabin, but the boatmen and watermen who were waiting for their orders, and a few gunners were mixed in between. However, they were holding not swords and muskets, but heavy baskets and small barrels of gunpowder.
Then, the rear team heard a sharp whistle sounded from the guns that had not yet received the enemy. Suddenly, objects dragged out from gray smoke and flew out in a tortuous arc and fell into the rear of the dense circles surrounding them, fighting in a bush;
However, the grenadiers who were standing in the back team replaced them, began to divide into two batches of fire and thunder bombs and marine bombs. In an instant, a very dull air wave and a terrible sound of soaring into the sky were exploded behind the bulwarks, and then they were wiped out in the rising flames and black smoke.
The people close to the gang could only see the vague figures on the opposite side of the ship, running around in the enveloping fireworks, jumping into the sea from the other end.
And this time, on the deck of the ship that was raging with fire, there was no figure who could stand or walk.
Although there were only two rows of people throwing, the effect was unexpectedly good. On the big ship that was temporarily captured, at least three of the people on the five ships that had already fought were completely collapsed, and even jumped into the sea in panic;
The remaining people on the boat were also turning around and rushing to lose. There was only one of the sea ships that had come to fight at the latest, and they still maintained the remaining morale and efforts. They used the remaining man's hands to chop and slash and slash the masts that fell down and stuck on the deck, making a pair of efforts to get out of it.
However, several cannons fired from the lower level immediately shattered their attempts and efforts; they burst into pieces like fountains on their ship gang, and they broke and overturned their retreat to the ship.
Soon after, with the last nearby enemy naval warship trying to escape, the cannons surrounding the Huai Army were bombarded with holes and holes, leaving only the fragmented superstructures on the waterline and the overflowing blood corpses, after drifting with the waves.
The sound of weapons falling from whom I don’t know, appeared like a chain reaction in these enemy clusters surrounded and driven to the side, and turned into a continuous human body that kneeled on the deck like an overturned domino.
Zong Ze, who was hit by a slumber again, also touched the broken arrow shaft that was facing each other on his waist, and let out a deep breath, giving a illusion and understanding that it seemed like a different world.
Looking at the flags and ship codes passed by ships from far and near, I was sure that I had basically won this very tragic naval battle.
But as the saying goes, "Good luck is misfortune?" According to the original deployment and planning, they should rely on the advantages of strong ships and relatively maneuvering and flexible artillery, maintain a sufficient distance from the enemy naval fleet, and use artillery with far-range fire to slowly damage and sink it. The Chinese merchants will defeat it more time for them to defeat it.
However, his mistakes and desire for the second half of the war turned the more tragic and intensified close combat with ships, which almost caused more than half of the naval soldiers and naval forces on his ships to be killed or injured, and almost couldn't even get the manpower to re-load the ship.
However, the corresponding ones also accidentally attracted several large ships among the opponent's main force, and the original group-to-group battle force was dispersed. By the time the surrounding friendly warships followed the strips, they used ball, rod, chain, and shotgun to defeat the nearest opponents, and when the sail turned to support, the battle around the "Surge" had come to an end.
As it turned out, it was equipped with double-double naval forces and a few grenadiers on the flagship, which eventually became the key to Zongze's reversal of the situation.
By dawn again, the basic situation and results that can be confirmed are: there are about seven Huai Army warships that have been sunk and disappeared, two of which are newly built Huai Flying Fish Warships, one of which is a traditional flying fish warship, and the others are transformed from armed clutches, with a total loss of 8,500 materials.
