Chapter 421: Rumble
This time... it was completely crazy.
Even the stupidest person can see the contrast of strength. Who would fantasize that these big cannibals are vegetarians?
The number of ships on the other side is ten times that of this side, and the personnel on the ship are at least three times, not to mention that there are several ships larger than the Hao Fenglou fleet.
In terms of military tactics, if the five ships were together, there might be a possibility of self-protection, but Hao Fenglou actually deliberately dispersed the five ships.
He is looking for death, and he is cheated by this surname Hao.
But Hao Fenglou was calm and gave orders one by one.
The sailors and personnel on the boat all began to get busy, one by one, one by one, shouting horns, in an orderly manner.
No one showed fear. After the order was conveyed, they would follow the steps. This may have something to do with Hao Fenglou's calmness. When the coach was calm, even if the person below experienced this for the first time, this calmness would be contagious.
On the other side, Hu Lu also knew that he could not escape now. The reason why he did not want to conflict was not because he was afraid of Hao Fenglou. There was no need to cause casualties, but now the other party's ship was like a swordfish. Since he could not escape, he could only fight to the death now.
"Prepare, prepare, remove the mainsail, prepare the hijab, everyone gathers on the deck, prepare... to get close..."
Hu Lu also seemed calm. No matter what, he had an absolute advantage. Since these people were not aware of each other, he might as well let them taste the best.
The people on the boat had licked blood more or less, so they immediately showed their hideous and fierce side. Whether it was the Great Cannibal or the Kunlun slave, they all gathered with harpoons and swords. Someone was ready to queries, and they were all murderous.
At sea, once people are forced into a hurry, no one will retreat.
"Prepare, prepare!"
Using the big verbal words, Hu Lu's eyes were red, and he shouted with a torn sound: "These wise dogs insult the prophets and cut off our wealth. Now they want to kill us and not give us a way to live. Don't be afraid, there are not many people in them, get close to them and kill them..."
The sailors who were barefoot were all unkempt, but they all gritted their teeth. They held their weapons and started screaming.
"Bows, arrows, bird guns..."
"Prepare to...get close..."
Although all the big food ships were fighting each other, they were now very tacitly prepared to resist. They deliberately put down their mainsails and waited for the other's ships to approach.
It's about to break out.
All the boats were all swirling around the ocean and whirling the wind in an arc. The cannibals were also waiting, waiting for the moment when the boat approached.
But... the great cannibal discovered something ridiculous that these Ming ships did not face them with the bow position, but instead exposed the side of the ship.
"Error, a huge mistake!"
Anyone with a little experience in naval combat. At least in this era, ships attack each other. They often use the strongest bow position to collide with the enemy ship, because it is the most solid and has greater strength. After the two sides collided, they boarded the ship and took a hand-to-hand blade.
After all, the hull is fragile. Once it collides, even if it does not overturn, it may break a big hole. Once the water leaks, the whole ship will be finished.
These people are obviously ignorant of the way of fighting, which undoubtedly gives the cannibals enough confidence.
Hu Lu was already full of confidence, and these people were just young men at all.
"Rise the right sail and rush over!"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
On the ship of Hao Fenglou, many ministers' faces turned pale.
Some people even had the idea of jumping into the sea to survive. When they saw the huge ship of the other party, they were full of sails and trying to hit the place, getting closer and closer. The face of the prince Zhu Gaochi was already pale as paper. If Zhu Di had not been there, he would almost have been unable to help but grab Hao Fenglou and scold him, making Hao Fenglou immediately order to escape.
The others were not much better. They could almost imagine the situation where the other party's ship crashed hard and the land collapsed and the people were overturned.
These ships, like a hill, passed through the mist on the sea, becoming clearer and clearer.
At this time, Hao Fenglou pressed the hilt of his waist, facing the sea breeze, staring at the enemy ship motionlessly. He was not afraid or trembling. His eyes were like sharp swords, and then he stretched out his hand.
Seeing this, a guard behind him immediately headed towards the cabin.
"The Marine Defense has an order, and the artillery cabin is prepared..."
"The Marine Defense has an order, and the artillery cabin is ready!"
One by one, a sound came out in the bottom cabin.
The cannon suit torn off, and then followed the pulley to push the cannon out of the baffle.
A hideous black hole was revealed at the muzzle. Filled with gunpowder, loaded shells, and everything was done step by step.
The gunners made a sound: "Seat 1 is ready."
"The ninth position is ready!"
“Second position 21…”
The gun cabin was pressing the knife for a long time, and his eyes watched the movements outside through a porthole.
As the captain of the cannon cabin, he must be foolproof. Li Rui is such a person. He was originally from a musket team, but now he has been transferred here. What he does every day is to practice his sight. For example, if a white dot appears in the ocean, there will be a white dot in the distance. He must be able to judge how many feet away from the boat and how large it is.
Anything floating on the sea above the vast ocean may be deceived by one's own naked eyes. It is obviously something several miles away, but it makes people feel like they are far away in the sky.
And this involves experience.
In this regard, Li Rui is very experienced. He can even judge the direction, size, and distance of the other party from a box several miles away.
Now, he squinted his eyes. Although he had made enough judgments, he did not sloppy. Instead, he confirmed again and again, and continued to locate according to the movement of the other party's ship.
In this era without telescopes, people like Li Rui are definitely the soul figure on a ship.
After repeated calibration, he suddenly made a sound: "The muzzle is slightly tilted to the east."
Below the muzzle, in addition to the straight slide rail, there is also a base for adjustment, but the conditions are limited and can only be fine-tuned.
The gunners did not hesitate and immediately started to take action.
"The ninth position is ready..."
"No. 4 is ready..."
Li Rui was not in a hurry, his eyes suddenly froze, and then he burst into a low roar: "Fire the cannon, fire the cannon!"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
On the deck, Hao Fenglou seemed to be calculating something, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
At this moment, he forgot the civil and military officials on the deck, forgot the emperor, everything had been forgotten, and he almost clenched in with his fingers holding the side of the ship.
When he saw the huge figure of the main ship of the big food ship approaching, he suddenly realized that the time was...
Boom... Boom...
Five ships fired fire almost at the same time, each firing at different targets. Hundreds of artillery guns spit out fire snakes and roared.
The five gunships trembled violently, and the people on the deck fell one by one.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden roar. These ministers who were usually calm and calm were pale at this time, and the smoke from the bottom cabin gradually rose up, but these people did not react.
What's going on...
What happened...
Have you bumped?
It's over.
I missed me at the age of 27 and selected Hanlin, and had a bright future. I never expected that I would be here...
But……
When they opened their eyes, they found that the entire ship was unscathed.
Quiet.
After that huge roar, it was a silence as if it was dead.
Zhu Di was very quiet, and the others were very quiet.
Although there was still echoing the sound of cannons in their ears, and although the pungent smoke made them feel uncomfortable.
But no one made a sound.
Their eyes are all roaming.
Zhu Di saw Hao Fenglou. Hao Fenglou stood at the bow of the ship, standing in the wind, with a strong sway of a general.
Zhu Di's heart gradually stabilized. Then he looked out of the ship. At this moment, dozens of holes had been made of the enemy ship, and a shell even hit the side sail directly. A hole was made in the canvas. When the strong wind blew, a hole was immediately torn open by the strong wind like paper.
Without the steering effect of the side sail, the entire ship was still moving forward rapidly, but it immediately lost its direction. The bow of the ship was tilted and tilted like a drunkard.
Zhu Di could not hear the other party's ships shouting, nor could he see the shocked expressions of those people, but he could feel the other party's despair.
Several large ships under the gunships were beaten to the point where the ships were flying, and some were even smashed into meat pies, but this was just the beginning and it was far from over.
Rumble... Rumble...
Soon, the second round of gunfire...
Then the third round...
The fourth round...
Dozens of large-scale ships lost their direction at once, like headless flies. Some ships tried to turn their rudders to avoid the flanks, some ships were still making final sprints, and some were spinning in the sea, completely confused.
Those headless flies-like ships actually collided with each other because they were too sudden. A big ship with big food directly overturned a sea ship.
The wood chips were flying, the hull was shaking, the mast fell, and the deck was covered with the sails, which was a terrible sight.
