Chapter 13 Wrong Ship
The ten-pound shells roared with a terrifying scream, and they crossed a distance of 200 steps in a flash. Six shells of the ironclad ship accurately hit the bow of the Saint-Bablo, penetrated the cabin window and swept through the gorgeous furnishings from the Spanish nobles inside.
One of the forecastle artillery was hit directly by a shell. The heavy bronze stone-shooting cannon was heavy enough and not overturned. However, the bounced shells rose and fell among the artillery, killing and injuring several people, and then slowly rolled to the mast.
"Reload!"
Deng Zilong used the method of envoy gunners in warships and cannon battles. He and Chen Mu are good teachers and friends. Both sides learn from each other's advantages through long-term cooperation. If the most important thing Deng Zilong learned from Chen Mu, it must be that the closer the bird gun is, the higher the hit rate of a round of volleys will be.
This is the same with artillery. The nine artillery guns of the Iron Crafts only fell three times, and even those three times could not be said to be lost, because they also broke through the sails at the bow of the Saint-Bablo.
It seemed to have a great harm, but it was actually irrelevant. The St. Barbulo still did not dodge after being bombarded, and did not even think about using string cannons to attack. The surviving artillery in the forecastle continued to load medicine and put stones on another undamaged heavy stone-shooting cannon, and the entire giant ship came straight towards the ironclad ship.
"By bypass them and don't be caught up!"
The ironclad ship is small and dare not even carry too much ship cannon due to iron shells, let alone sailors. There are less than 200 sailors on the ship, and they are absolutely weak in the battle of the boarding. Deng Zilong would not have been able to connect with the other party at this time.
For a moment, one chasing forward and the other slanted, forming a T-shaped character on the sea surface for a short time. At the same time, two small shark boats accidentally entered the port side shooting range of the Saint-Babulo, and eight heavy artillery on the port side were bombarded with a cyclone cannon. Just one scattering shot made the small shark boat fall in scattered.
Boom!
The bow stone-firing cannon was loaded, and even if there was only one left, it was still extremely fierce. The huge stone bullet hit the iron-clad ship's waterline accurately across hundreds of steps. The terrifying impact force caused the stone bullet to break into several pieces in an instant. The damaged side of the ship was not uncomfortable. The three-foot square iron sheet was sunk into a terrible shape, and the wood inside the iron sheet was cracked and broken, but - no effect.
The fierce battlefield made the birds who were originally following the sea ships frightened and didn't know where to fly. The gun battle between the Saint-Barbul and the ironclad ship lasted for a moment. On the sea, the Spanish fleet was culled and captured by the South Ocean shark ships that flocked to it. Even the Clark ship, which was still floating on the sea, had already been defeated in the battle of the platoon.
But Chen Mu, who was standing on the Red Sea ship watching the battle, did not look good, and they paid a heavy price.
For every time an enemy's Kalavere was sunk, he would pay the price of a small shark ship being sunk or injured. This was especially true for taking Clark in the battle to fight the ferros. The fierce sailors carried by one of his large ships could compete with four or five small shark ships, which was a different situation than when they cleared the seas and armed merchant ships.
Even if the same warship is used, these people will be much more difficult to deal with.
"Catch up and use artillery to pinch the big ship, don't catch the side."
The Red Sea Ship rides the wind and waves, and rides the wind and waves with the butterfly sails. The war on the other end also enters a critical moment.
The Saint-Bablo was very slow to operate, but the broken foremast sail in the slightly upwind did not play a counter-effect. The spinnaker on the rear mast continued to drive it to chase slowly; the iron-clad ship in front was even slower, and the only advantage was that the butterfly sail was slightly faster in the upwind, so they were not worried about being caught up for a short time, but they could not keep a distance.
The bad thing is that the ironclad ship does not have a bow and stern artillery, it only has eighteen string cannons. It relies on the side cannons to bombard the Saint-Bablo three times before the two ships entered and pursued them back and forth. Deng Zilong was helpless at the other side. On the contrary, the opponent only had one bow heavy cannon left but continued to bombard him.
Although not many are accurate.
Only a hundred steps apart, Deng Zilong dared not push the ship horizontally. At this time, any pause would be caught by the opponent. Perhaps his side cannon could bombard the opponent for another round, but the stone sculpture of the opponent's bow would definitely hit him and force him to enter the battle of the counter.
That was the purpose of the Spanish, not his.
At this moment, a volley of artillery fire came from afar. The Chihai ship opened fire at five hundred steps outwards. More than a dozen shells weaved a large net to wrap the hull of the Saint-Babulo. Then, two fleets followed the Chihai ship and quickly followed the large and small artillery shells to throw them towards the masts of the sails above the deck. The waves were splashed around the ship that were taller than the side of the ship.
The Red Sea Ship participated in the war.
A volley swept across the deck, masts and sails like a strong wind.
After only a moment of pause, the port side of the San Bablo also fought back at the Chihai, but the distance was too far, with little effect. Most shells hit the hull could only cause some vibration to the hull, but the only shell hitting the ship's side was directly trapped in the fir and did not roll and continue to kill.
However, Deng Zilong's situation was not good. Seeing the Red Sea ship joining the battle, General Deng immediately ordered the ship to turn around. During the cross-border process, he also used nine artillery-mounted shots to spray towards the enemy giant ship dozens of steps at the moment when he was about to turn around. Two or three hundred iron projectiles hit the deck and sails of the enemy ship. Several large canvas, some sail rope ladders were broken and broken, and then the distance between the two ships was quickly closer.
When they were about to collide, the ironclad ship broke away from the impact angle of the sailboat and passed through it with a narrow edge. The huge Western sail pole collided with the spreading butterfly sail. The two ships were only a few meters apart. The guns of both sides seized the opportunity to blast out at the shortest distance.
boom!
In the smoke of cannon fire, the soldiers on the Spanish ship shouted in unison, each holding up their guns and spears, and the hull was shocked by the cannons piercing the hull at close range. The gunmen and gunmen on the deck were also shouting in the bumps, and iron quilts were thrown out from the Spanish ship, hanging on the side of the iron-clad ship, trying to pull them and stop the ship.
What's more, the most experienced and fierce Spanish sailors climbed up on the rope ladder as soon as they were about to collide, drew their swords and broke the rope and shouted and jumped onto the boat, rolling and rushing into the flag army.
Of course, there are also those who are not lucky enough to be swept into the waves by the butterfly sails and do not know their life or death.
Shirtless or sleeveless jackets on the deck of the San Bablo, sailors who were shirtless or in sleeveless jackets, turned the noose hard. Someone was hit by the lead balls shot from the opposite bird gun, but then another sailor was repaired. They had to pull the noose to make the tick hook the ship's side from the deck of the enemy ship.
This is a common trick for sea plating. Those tracing lines will rotate with noose to hook the enemy ship, and then the invincible Spanish conquerors can rush onto the enemy ship. When they rush onto the enemy ship, it often means that a tracing battle has been won.
But this time, it seems that the situation is different.
creak-bang.
The sailors who jumped to the other ship could not resist the large number of soldiers in the Ming Banner, and were about to be cut off in a blink of an eye. They barely resisted the side of the ship and prevented the Ming army from stepping forward to cut off the quilt. However, the sound of the quilt hooking on the side of the ship seemed different, and it was sharp and harsh and then slid out of the ship.
The Spanish sailor, who was unknown, snatched a rope. Seeing that the distance between the ship gradually widened, he threw it out again.
creak-bang.
The sailor wrapped in plate armor held the long sword and jumped on the boat angrily, shouting loudly, but could only see the ship getting farther and farther away. Before leaving, he did not forget to use a few cannons to bombard them at the stern.
Deng Zilong looked back at the Spanish ship on the stern building and laughed.
His ship's side is iron, how can he hook the broken iron hook?
