Chapter 81 Showers
Thunder exploded in the sky, and pale lightning illuminated the sea.
Chen Mu saw a face, whose master had deep eye sockets, towering cheekbones, dry beard and tired circles, and those eyes also looked at him.
Intuition told him that it was Zeng Yiben.
The light flashed and the time flew away. He drew out a short pistol and shot it with only a piece of darkness. Chen Mu didn't know if he had hit it. He only knew that he had led the warship through the huge fleet of Japanese pirates, and Chen Lin also withdrew from the battle on the other side.
As an outstanding navy general on the coast of Fujian and Guangxi, Chen Lin knew when to challenge and even when to evacuate.
The short-term contact battle made Chen Lin realize that the artillery battle did not have an advantage as Chen Mu said, but the fire ship burned over and successfully broke up the formation of the Japanese pirate fleet. He took this opportunity to narrow the distance to dozens of steps, jumped to gangs and seized a large Guang ship, then set fire to burn two lucky ships, and a fire shot of cannon guns to kill many Japanese pirate sailors. Then he used the centipede ship to lead the team to go further and further as the enemy's left wing turned over.
Of course, the artillery support that should be provided is essential.
He was not worried about Chen Mu. The two centipede ships had more than 30 shells in one volley, and Xiangshan made those strange things... Chen Lin knew that as long as he took good care of himself, he would not cause trouble to Chen Mu.
Chen Chaojue could see clearly that he was an expert in arson. No matter whether the ship he fought with would be able to fight or not, it would definitely burn it, but Chen Mu was different.
The centipede ship rushed through the left wing of the Japanese pirate fleet in a rampage, without even a moment of fighting, but the results were like a plague. As long as the enemy ships approached these two big centipede, they either broke the mast or were unsteered, they all swayed away from the formation... at least five or six large ships!
All the people were killed, and the boat was taken back for repair and could still be used.
That was the real killer, much better than his arsonist.
The gang fight left corpses everywhere on the sea. There were not many corpses where Chen Mu passed, only those uncontrolled warships gradually drifted away.
It is too easy for the centipede ship to leave the front line. They are much faster than the lucky ship. The lucky ship with the power of a battle cannot catch up, and the small clutch that can catch up cannot beat. In fact, no one chases him. Zeng Yiben's mentality has changed in this naval battle.
When Xin'an County conquered the defeated army, Zeng Yiben didn't think he was defeated.
Although the losses were greater than those of the official army, he had gained a lot by plundering the entire Xin'an and Guangcheng outskirts. He carried the wealth away on a ship. As long as he could return to South Australia and sell it, he would be able to return with a stronger fleet and more pirates composed of Fujian people in the most year.
But this naval battle that took place at night was different.
Not counting the four empty-haired iron chain white-haired ships, one of them lost at least twelve large ships and a few small ships, the key lies in the goods that the ship snatched from the ship.
If he continues to fight, he will not even be able to recover the cost of going overseas this time. This is the real failure for him.
Among the large ships full of cargo that he lost, most of them were done by the two centipede ships. How could Zeng Yipeng not hate him?
"Send the order for each ship to get close to it and stick it up and fight with his gun!" Zeng Yiben turned his head disdainfully and looked at the shallow pit that was knocked out on the mast, "The officers and soldiers' guns are very crooked!"
Chen Mu had to know Zeng Yiben's evaluation of his gun technique. He had to drive the ship back and sank Zeng Yiben's ship!
What does it mean to be very crooked?
Your Master Chen uses a pistol. Do you understand? You can only shoot a pistol of thirty steps on the flat ground. Not to mention swaying around the sea, if Mr. Chen is good at arm's arms, you can try it. If you run fifty steps first, you will kill you with one shot!
But Chen Junye didn't know that Zeng San was looking at him, and he was so beautiful now.
"Save your life back, Brother Chen, how about your casualties?"
The pirates' fleet ran away after they fought. Chen Mu and Chen Lin were not so anxious. As long as the course was right, they would not care how fast Zeng Yiben wanted to run. The lucky ship put down the longboards from the battleboard, and the two Chens gathered on the sea.
Chen Mu looked at the lucky ship that found the Xiangshan Mountain. Seeing that Wei Balang was wearing an iron-petaled helmet, he felt relieved, "My two ships were saving their lives. The naval battle was really dangerous. If you hit it right, you would kill my seven brothers!"
Chen Lin frowned, "You have seven people killed?"
"Where can it be!"
Chen Lin's face just appeared, and he said, "The casualties are inevitable, guns and cannons are coming and going..."
"Three were killed by guns!" Chen Junye shook his head with a distressed look on his face, stretched out three fingers that were close together and patted his injured palms on his arm. "It's too dangerous to do less like this in the future!"
It is said that it is a good thing to have fewer casualties from friendly forces, but Chen Lin sounds like eating a fly, tilting his head and looking elsewhere, "When you go back, Chen will start with the book, build a ship, and build a centipede ship!"
Several fire ship navy soldiers under his command, who were not missing, drowned, were hit by cannon guns, and more than forty people were killed in battle on the sidelines!
What a brilliant victory this should have been!
The pirates with several times the size of their own attacked the ship and twice the strength of their own were killed by more than 40 people in exchange for at least 200 casualties in Japanese pirates, and burned the enemy ships to seize the enemy ships.
In recent years, in addition to the joint navy of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, are there anyone else in the coastal coastal areas that have fought such a wonderful battle?
No!
Naval warfare is not land warfare, it is head-on. Often, whoever has more ships, more cannons, and more soldiers will win. It is rare to win at sea with fewer strikes and more victory.
But he, Chen Mu, Jun Ye... Chen Lin looked distressed when he saw him killing nine people, and said that he was too dangerous, so he wanted to directly press him into the sea to drown him!
Who is it!
With twice the force, five times the casualties, and less than half of the results of others, Chen Chaojue is still complacent?
shame!
A great shame and humiliation!
Chen Mu found that Chen Shoujie's face looked a little bad, and looked at the torch in surprise. What kind of chemical reaction is this? How could the face turn green after a sea battle?
He really felt dangerous from the bottom of his heart. Only by relying on the fast centipede ship can he shuttle through the enemy formation safely and soundly. The shells were flying by the side of the ship. Now he calmed down and his ears were filled with the sharp sound of the shells during the war. He didn't think about these things when fighting, but after fighting, he was full of fear.
If the ship's side had not been raised to block the shells, a few shots hit the deck with a general flag.
Chen Lin didn't want to answer how many casualties he had. He looked at the gloomy sky in the south with a short face. It took him a while to adjust his mood and said in a long breath: "Catch it. It will take another day to get to Tuen Mun. As long as he doesn't run anywhere else, there is no need to harass him anymore. Wait until Tuen Mun is caught in one go."
"The ship, cannon, bird gun, and the guns behind it are useless. There is no big difference between land and sea wars. Let's see where Brother Jingchen intercepts him." Chen Mu also sighed. The casualties in the battle on the side will only be greater. Now he truly realized that the lives of soldiers in the war are just a number, and there is no time for people to sigh at all.
"I don't know how many people I can bring to the ashore after this battle. Let's go, Shengfan continues to chase!"
