229. Angry Elephant

In zoology, higher animals are a relative concept. Compared with invertebrates, vertebrates are higher animals. Among vertebrates, tetrapods are higher animals compared to fish, while mammals are higher than other animals. As an animal primate with the most complex body structure, the most significant differentiation of tissues and organs and has vertebrates, it is undoubtedly true that humans stand at the peak of currently known animals.

After talking for a long time, I actually don’t know much about zoology, but I know that the biggest advantage of humans over other animals is their self-control ability. One is active control, such as object operation; the other is passive control, such as environmental tolerance, which is now a good verification environment!

The eight Kaplan Chamber of Commerce transport ships began to burn violently, and boiling flames whizzed from the side of the ship, pounding all visible objects above the water surface in an extremely fierce manner!

Logically speaking, every ship sailing on the sea, especially warships, has an emergency plan for fire fighting, but they are all sources formulated for fire on the deck with attachments on the deck. How can one fight fire fighting below the side of the ship?

This situation is really rare, so for a moment, the eight transport ships were panicked for a moment! But it was obvious that the sailors of the Kaplan Chamber of Commerce were all well trained. Although the situation happened suddenly, they began to stabilize their positions after a brief panic and watered the back slope below the side of the ship in an awkward posture, trying to extinguish the fire!

It has to be said here that people in this era still have a relatively primitive stage of understanding of fires, and use modern A-F classification fires to divide them. At this time, people only learned about Class A and Class F fires, that is, fires caused by burning wood, cotton and linen products, paper, or fires caused by fires of kitchen utensils and cooking objects.

At present, the fire caused by the combustion of crude oil belongs to Class B fires. The sailors on the eight transport ships did not know why, so they could water the ship outboard, trying to put out the fire, but the fire burned more and more violently!

In some places, sparks even exploded. After scattering, they ignited the attachment position and caused a new ignition point! Under the influence of the night wind, the fire became even more vigorous for a while!

Most people don’t have such experience, but those who cook all year round will have this experience. When the oil pan overheated, the cooking oil in the pan will catch a fire, and the flame will rise up and rush straight to the range hood, which looks very scary. At this time, you should quickly pour the cut vegetables along the edge of the pan, or cover the edge of the pan to cause oxygen to run out, and the fire will naturally go out.

However, some people lack experience and will rush to water the fired pot when caught off guard. As a result, sparks will generally splash everywhere, causing "frying pot"! Oil and sparks are everywhere, causing injuries and the fire to expand. This is because of insufficient experience, small problems will develop into big problems.

This is the situation that Kaplan’s sailors faced. They used water to extinguish crude oil and caught fire. This was tantamount to putting fires in hand, and the fire suddenly became more and more fierce!

At this time, the sound of artillery fire sounded in my ears again, and the situation of the Kaplan Chamber of Commerce was even worse! Just as the sailors in Kaplan were still struggling to put out the fire or fight back first, the elephants on the ship were already in an uproar again!

From afar, I could only hear countless elephants' hissings coming into my ears. Three points of the sound were anger and seven points of fear. From this, I could imagine what a lively scene was on the boat!

Ship 4 also began to burn, but because it was in the center of the circle and the surrounding fire was too large and absorbed a lot of oxygen, it did not burn violently. The only problem was that the smoke was too large. After throwing the torch and seeing that the fire had already burned as expected, Mo and a few Shinin had already replaced the water and were ready to go into the water to escape at any time. However, the combustion of the ship was not fierce at this time, so they were still waiting.

Mo covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth, and looked at the big ship not far away with a smile. His heart was full of accomplishment - after all, he just acted, and made so many ships, so many people, and so many elephants frustrated. What a thing worth showing off!

He stared at the cabin opposite him quietly. Suddenly, an elephant knocked open the wooden board of the cabin with a "clang" and jumped into the sea with a loud noise! ​​When it fell into the water, it caused huge splashes of water!

Unfortunately, I couldn't see clearly outside the circle, but Mo could see clearly inside! This huge meat mountain could still swim? Under Mo's gaze, the elephant slowly swam towards the gap between the ships very steadily. Although it was also stained with oil and there were signs of fire, this guy sneaked into the bottom of the water very cleverly, and after it extinguished the fire, it floated out again and swam out from the gap between the ships!

Mo couldn't help but smacked his lips. There are still several nautical miles away from the coastline. I wonder if this guy can swim?

Just as he was thinking, several elephants jumped out one after another in the huge hole that the elephant just now, but their luck was good and bad. OK, it happened to swim along the direction of the elephant just now. After several twists and turns, it also penetrated the gaps of the ship and swam towards the land. However, the unlucky one swims in the opposite direction, and the two elephants swim together in a direction away from the land!

Mo knew that the direction they swim was an endless sea! Even if these big guys could persist and their physical strength was good, they would eventually sink into the depths of the sea! Mo suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart. What we were going to deal with is humans, not these animals who didn’t know what they were doing!

So Mo looked down and saw that there were many burning and broken wooden boards on the ground. He picked one and threw it at the elephant who was leading the way! It was impartial, and the wooden board was hitting the elephant's head. The big guy was stunned. His body was still in the water and raised his head and roared, but he suddenly plunged into the water and continued to swim forward! The elephant behind it was frightened, and suddenly turned around and swam in the opposite direction - the direction of land.

Mo sighed. He had already done his best to save one person. Just count the other! As for those who don’t listen to advice, it is the way he chose, and it’s not blamed others.

More and more cabins were knocked open by elephants or bombarded by artillery, and I could see clearly outside the circle and couldn't help but smile. After this, the guys from the Kaplan Chamber of Commerce must be more attentive! But after all, this is not safe, and I have to find something for them to do in the future!

I called out from the cabin, who could speak eight languages ​​and asked, "Can you speak the languages ​​near Basra?"

You nodded and smiled and said, "Yes! Sir!" He also changed his name to the Nine Ghosts Masayoshi.

I shouted to Lan: "Get the boat closer! Get as close as possible while ensuring safety!"

Lan understood what I meant, and immediately commanded the fleet to move, and accelerated forward while turning to the right half. Our battle line gradually approached the other's ship. I asked Jiugui Masayoshi to take out a wooden loudspeaker and handed it to You. After a round of shelling, I ordered him to shout at the ships of the Kaplan Chamber of Commerce: "You cursed aliens, accept the infinite sanctions of the True Lord! The glory of the Wuding family is unstoppable! You will be punished for your stupidity! Allah!"

After saying that, our artillery fire continued to bombard the opponent's fiercely! We were concentrating on the opponent's flagship, but soon we discovered that the opponent completely gave up the ability to attack artillery completely and used all the load capacity to strengthen the armor! Our four ships bombarded the opponent's flagship for a long time, but this guy was only injured and not destroyed! The probability of jumping reached more than 70%. Even if he did not jump, the probability of breaking through was very small. Most of them caused armor damage, but they did not hurt the essence.

I frowned. If I continue to fight like this, I will have no value, and will cause our ammunition to be empty. We must change our strategy!

So, I carried the wolf Gu Shi and took a closer look. The armor of the other party's flagship, No. 1, No. 3, No. 4, No. 6, No. 7, was obviously thicker, while the armor of No. 2 and No. 5 was obviously thinner! It seems that the ship has undertaken other tasks in the past two days.

I shouted to Lan: "Drift the firepower! Attack the opponent's ship No. 2! Hit the stern!"

Lan immediately ordered that the firepower of the four ships quickly transferred the target of attack after the light instructions, and all the firepower began to attack fiercely towards the second half of the opponent's No. 2 ship! Sure enough, the defense of the No. 2 ship was much worse than that of the flagship. After several rounds of volleys, black smoke rose in the second half of the opponent's No. 2 ship, and the cabin looked even more fired!

Judging from the intensity of the fire, there should be some flammable things inside. Considering the living environment of the elephant, 90% of the cabin contains various wood products, or plant things - not necessarily all for food, but it is definitely for the elephants to improve their living environment!

I looked down at the water surface again. The draft of ships No. 2 and No. 5 was deeper than other ships, and they must contain things with high density. I guess it is very likely that they are filled with food! It seems that my decision to order the transfer of firepower was correct!

Several more rounds of artillery fire attacked the No. 2 ship. The captain of the other side was obviously panicked and wanted to hide behind the several thicker armored ships! But how could I give them this opportunity? I had to make a gap! The reason is very simple. I want to set up a way to survive for Mo and others who are still in the encirclement!

According to Mo and others' skills, they could have dived and left. But at this time the sea was full of crude oil, and they had no room for ventilation, so it was very dangerous to go into the water rashly! So before, I ordered Haleha to create a very light and thin iron armor according to the model of the speedboat, and nest it well on the outside of a speedboat for fire prevention!

It looks special. How can I say it? It's like putting a solid phone case on the outside of my phone! What we have to do now is to sink an enemy ship, rush up to fight with us in the place with damage, and before we can leave when Mo and the others rushed out!

The enemy ships obviously also discovered that the four ships outside us were just four medium-sized armed merchant ships. Although they were burned by the flames just now and were caught off guard by the sudden artillery, after reacting, the other party rushed towards our ship very bravely, hoping to solve the passive problem through the same fighting style and gain a glimmer of hope for themselves!

How could I give them such a chance? After a few more rounds of fire concentration, the other party's No. 2 ship had already begun to tilt, and its left side was discounted! The sea water began to "gurgle" into the cabin! I shouted at Lan: "Go to the middle section of No. 2 ship!"

Lan naturally understood that at this time we were trying to get a chance to survive, and immediately ordered the firepower to be fully opened, no longer considering consumption issues, and shoot fiercely at the middle of the broken left side of the opponent's ship No. 2!

Finally, the other party's No. 2 ship was completely sunk! The broken hull sank to the bottom of the sea with dense bubbles! The sailors on the ship jumped into the sea in a hurry, and some climbed up to break free from the constraints and jumped into the back of the elephant that jumped into the sea, and fled towards the surrounding ships as the huge body swelled up and fled towards the surrounding ships!
Chapter completed!
