Chapter one hundred and ninety-eight

In the era of cold weapons, the difficulty of human living conditions was usually proportional to the degree of fighting courage.

The poorer the mountains and bad waters are, the more brave they are, until they enter a prosperous place and lose their harsh environment, this kind of courage will become a legend with the ancient tradition.

This rule applies to most, but is not very suitable for the Central Plains. During the stable period, the Central Plains dynasties often had extraordinary organizational capabilities, metallurgical technology, and agricultural technology, and could not be compared with the surrounding areas.

You use a spear, and I also use a spear. You won, okay, this is bravery.

You used a bronze arc knife, wearing leather armor, I inserted an iron ring-headed knife on my waist, and I wore iron armor on my head. I held a long iron halberd with a serpent in my hand and inserted it on the ground. I took off the stringed yellow ginseng crossbow from behind a hundred meters away... If you dare to fight with me, you are already very brave.

But how do you prove that "I" is brave? It cannot be proved.

No one wants to be brave, but he is more willing to aim at the hanging knife under the Wangshan buckle, the crossbow string is lightly shaken, you are dead.

But the White Mountain Camp warriors on the Caribbean Sea have a chance to prove it.

When the Kazi ship and the Calais warship were in a mismatch, the two warships blew guns at each other almost at the same time. The wrought iron Franchise aircraft carried by the Calais ship both fired, and the children's fists bombed the Kazi ship like raindrops. However, their ships were too low and the caliber of the cannon was too small.

Even if it is as dense as raindrops, what's the use? The thick side slabs block all the shells, and the shells hit one side of the Jiazi ship like a hornet's nest. There are shells embedded in the boat boards everywhere, but none of them can penetrate the boat boards.

The height of two levels lowered them also made no shell that could land on the deck and injure the flag army.

The situation of the Jiazi ship firing was different. General Zhenshuo's two-layer artillery decks opened fire from the front to the back. The shells were not as good as the Fran aircraft that shot in a rapid successive series, but they were defeated by the strong momentum and the precise hits brought to them by the good training of the Beiyang Banner Army on the ship.

The shells almost lifted the wooden roof of the Calais warship into the sea. Lamb could even see with his naked eyes a Fran cannon fixed on the starboard side was hit by the shells fired by the Ming army warship and then hit the stern, then fell heavily to the stern, and smashed through the stern cannon.

With another round of artillery, the pirate galleon battleship carrying more than 400 people can be easily bombarded until it loses its combat effectiveness.

But what Lamb couldn't understand was that the Ming army warships did not seem to have this consciousness. After just one bombardment during interlacing, they rushed towards the two Carrick sailboats behind at full speed. The captain from the Netherlands even heard the cheers of the pirates of the Calais ship.

After a brief panic, the pirates threw the bodies of the sailors who died of shelling into the sea. More than 40 huge oars were shaken. The speed of the long ship suddenly increased by a large margin, and they rushed straight to the Fu Ship Formation behind and collided.

Another operation that Captain Dutland couldn't understand appeared.

The only two gunboats in the Ming Junfu ship formation, which seemed to have strong combat power, only blasted out a few cannons and followed the warship.

Left six lucky ships with basically no artillery to deal with the impact of the Calais warships alone.

The two 400-four shark ships were Korean soldiers from Baishan Camp. The order they received was to support the battle between the Jiazi ship and the two enemy ships and invite the enemy ships to attack.

As a generation of new and new combat ideas, whether it is Nanyang, Beiyang, or martial arts school students, these naval warriors have strong contradictions in their mentality towards naval warfare.

On the one hand, they were superstitious about firepower and rarely mentioned catching ships during wars. The most common order was simple sinking.

On the other hand, when every officer who dreams of becoming a naval admiral sails on a warship loaded with more than thirty heavy artillery, he hopes to have a feat of a famous general who imitates the ancients burning the Red Cliff or directly crushing the enemy ships with ships.

Now they were about to watch the Calais battleships hit their ships with their sharp and strong bows.

The sailors were Baishan Camp, and a small flag crew on the ship was all Nanyang Army. Captain Lamb hurriedly grabbed the rudder and deflected the sail to avoid the impact of the Calais ship. He turned his head and saw one of the six lucky ships not dodging or avoiding it. He spread a large sail that looked like swan wings and drove straight towards the Calais ship.

A moment before the impact, Lamb also saw soldiers holding long swords busy putting simple armor on his chest full of tropical ulcers.

The armor was like a leather vest, with only a round heart protection mirror on the chest. It was not only simple but also not breathable. This was the armor they brought out from their hometown. At that time, everyone knew that Majiagang was cold, but no one knew that Caribbean was hot.

To be honest, maybe Li Dan seemed to be able to fight in the sea, but if Chen Mu was asked to choose, he would rather have a dog, a horse, an eagle and let the Jurchen warriors gallop on the American continent than put them on the ship to make a fool of themselves.

However, when the two ships collided, things developed beyond Lamb's expectations.

The Calais ship with a corner of the collision almost built the bow into the buffet ship. The cracked hull caused a large amount of sea water to pour in, but the ship did not sink further.

The two lucky ships that followed were passing by, one left and one right, and the two ships collided with each other. The huge sailbolts collided in the air until they broke together. At the same time, the Calais warship had more than 40 large oars, which were crushed. This was the best speed bump for the lucky ship at sea.

The lucky ships on both sides threw the quilts from a high place, and wooden boards used to jump gangs were quickly placed between the ships. The Calais ship was crowded with people. The sailors who had lost their oars and sails held their weapons and shot from the roof, and the oar windows shot to both sides. The soldiers holding short spears, axes and long swords climbed up to the roof, trying to counterattack the lucky ship with their "troop strength advantage".

Military strength advantage?

It does not exist.

Although the muskets are accurate and ruthless, the firing rate is slow after all, and the French pirates themselves do not have many muskets, not to mention that the ceiling of the Calais ship blocks most of the space that can be shot, and there is no advantage in a single encounter.

However, their crossbow was even more powerful than muskets at this time, shooting several Baishan soldiers.

The soldiers of Baishan camp shot down with large bows on the side of the three lucky ships. One was surrounded on three sides, and the other was condescending, only more than ten steps apart. It was the time when the step-shooting bow was the most powerful. After shooting randomly, the pirates who had tried their best to drill out of the tent became a hornet's nest. The pirates who had not yet been killed in the arrow sounded on the sea.

It was not enough for the uninjured pirates to retract back into the cabin. The archers shot at the oar windows again and fired one after another. The dense tails of feather arrows were still trembling, almost tugging around all oar windows.

At this time, Naraconguru, who had finally worn armor, pushed the archer on the side of the ship from the left-wing Fu Ship. He stepped on the deck with his feet, and seemed to want the ship to shake. Not to mention the four ships were squeezed together, even if there was only one, the ship could not shake.

So, Kangguru smiled happily and raised his Ming-made waist knife in his palm.
