116 The Battle of Annan: The Great Song Wolves Hit by the Stern

////stand

Nelson's tactics were to penetrate vertically into the enemy fleet column. If you were facing a well-trained navy, it was extremely dangerous, because this interlaced column had to face the firepower coverage of naval warships near the entry point, but the enemies of the Song Dynasty's navy were always vulnerable Qing naval divisions and pirates with insufficient artillery weapons and strength. Πet

In a word, there are no tigers in the mountains, monkeys dominate the king, and the Song Dynasty navy is used to being arrogant.

The Annan battleship and the Qing navy did meet the opponent, and in front of the Song Dynasty monkey, they were just turtles.

Seeing the Annan warship running in the second half, Luo Qianjie's one-eyed eyes emitted a cold light, without fear at all, but greed - if you don't shoot against us, how can I make a fortune and marry my wife?!

The one-eyed dragon made a quick decision and immediately ordered that the four Chinese Dragon Row warships changed their straight course and suddenly inserted into the middle of the Annan Row. The Annan Row was immediately divided into two sections, with chaos in front and back.

When the Chinese dragon rushed into the Annan column, Ding Yuzhan personally carried a gun and squatted on the side of the ship. In the choking smoke of the cannons below, coughing and crying, and used the Enfield in his hand to load a gun on the blurred copper ship deck below. Where had the condescending gunners bombarded with solid bullets and shotguns? The canvas covered with gun holes were already stuck on the broken hull like a fishing net. The sailors on the deck screamed and dived into the turbulent ocean to escape.

As they drove out of the enemy's column in a diagonal direction, the "Chinese Dragon" immediately started to maneuver, and the hull was 45 diagonally sailing in front on the other side of the Annan column. Not far behind them was the French warship column.

Opposite them were Annan copper ships that turned the bow of the ship to escape, which happened to face the four "Chinese Dragon" ferocious ships that were raging. The bow and stern of the ship were not only fragile, but also had the weakest firepower. The sailing warships were all hulls with the strongest firepower, which was equivalent to the four Great Song warships knocking the Annan warship one by one with the strongest firepower on the side of the ship.

The gunners on the Great Song Dynasty warship almost never stopped, firing constantly, and kept stabilizing the cannons that were recoiled back to the artillery deck. The gunner, sweaty in front of the muzzle, used a slide rod to pant and clean the residue in the cannon chamber, then filled the shells, and then the gun mouth was pushed out of the cannon window like a venomous snake's letter, and roared again in the smoke that the sea breeze had not yet blown away.

"Chain blast! Rod blast! Hit their sails!" As he drove away in a zigzag shape, Luo Qianjie went down under the artillery deck. In front of rows of artillery, he squatted in front of the first artillery window, looked at the posture of the enemy ships on the sea and shouted.

From the upwind to the downwind, the shooting posture was already high above the French. They changed into the chain and rod bombs that were rotating. These shells were screaming and whistling towards the rigging not far away. Square sails, huge sails on one side after another fell, and a mast with his heels creaked and groaned and fell into the sea. The Annan warship in the back half wanted to escape. But it was cut off by the ferocious dragon on the opposite side.

The ground wings lost their power of movement and were unable to turn around the sea. Waiting behind him, the poisonous dragon's two poisonous fangs were biting up and down at him - they were the two heavy gunboats led by the "Great Songhai" and "France Awe" to attack the Annan column. Wherever they passed, all the copper ships were destroyed, leaving only the wood chips floating on the sea, canvas rags and the ups and downs of the Annan sailors who were struggling and shouting.

"Wow" An angry cannon on the lower artillery deck was pushed back into the cabin by himself. A gunner squatted on the ground and measured the enemy ship in the distance with his sights. He shouted to Dilu Qianjie beside him: "Deputy General! I can't fight! It's too far!"

Luo Qianjie jumped up and ran back to the upper deck quickly. He shouted: "Change! Turn around! Turn northwest!"

The overall course of the Annan Fleet is to the east. Just now, the "Chinese Dragon" high-speed assault column pierced this thin line in the southwest direction. Now the "Chinese Dragon" turns 9 degrees again, turning to the northwest direction, and stabs at the Annan Fleet again. It is like an isosceles right-angle triangle. The Annan Fleet is right-angle. However, the Song Dynasty high-speed assault column is rushing along the right-angle edge. This time, the Luoqian Jiedi targets directly point to the opponent's last ship. The hull is the largest and the most firepower is the Shunwei!

No aggressive navy would be so big of a ship at the tail of the team. However, the Qing Dynasty and Annan could. Their commanders often had to sit on the safest ship and sit in the safest position. Nothing was bigger and safer than buying a warship from France. Nothing was safest than turning around and running away from the tail of the team. In this way, the most powerful ship faced the vicious invaders. So far, it has not been fired!

It was turning around. But the sailors on its ship were obviously unable to control such heavy and huge sails. Their movements were extremely clumsy. They were so much that a copper ship lined up in front of it that it had turned around first. They lowered their oars and shouted horns to escape from the side of the flags. They turned their backs to the sails, and rushed over again with murderous intent. They fled towards Hue.

This ship may be for the rebels of its dynasty to see the land. It is like a stone lion at the door of the yamen. The landowner never thought of putting it into battle seriously. Does the stone lion need to run? No.

"Prepare for rainfire"!" Looking at Shunwei's big ** getting closer and closer to him, Luo Qianjie roared with a grim smile.

Suddenly, the "rainfire!" commanded the order from the upper sky deck to the lower artillery deck. The gunners might be illiterate, but just like the army could understand the "attenion, the gunners of the four ships roared, and they were all busy.

The gunners were like skating, slipping across the tilted deck and slid to the opposite side. The guns that were originally unable to fly to the ocean side were soon filled with people. They kicked the chain and bars in front of the muzzle with their feet. One-third of the gunners at the bow of the ship tried to fill the solid armor-piercing bullets into the gunbore, and the gunners behind them were about to shout horns and put shotguns in the gunbore.

"Chinese Dragon", the God Knight and other four fierce and agile ferocious dragons, once again **Annan array, but this time they inserted it from behind "Shunwei", and the latter had just completed the turn from east to west, and ** towards the four little dragons that were raiding.

The tonnage of Shunwei, which can carry 40 guns, is much larger than the largest "Chinese Dragon" in the Song Dynasty expressway column, and the hull is also higher. From the rapidly approaching "Chinese Dragon" cannon window, Shunwei's tall stern tower squeezes towards him like a small wooden mountain.

"fire!" The gun position No. 1 on the left of the inner artillery deck roared, and with a loud bang, the white smoke rising from the window was pierced by the shells, looking at the hole that was pierced by the shells, and they saw that their armor-piercing projectile hit the big wood**. A hole was opened in the middle of the huge stern.

"fire!" As the hull bumped, the gun position behind it also roared. The weak stern stern was ruthlessly raided again. The hole became bigger and bigger. There were squeaking wooden strips hanging from the black wooden hole, moaning at the Chinese dragon.

At this time, the lower artillery deck of the Annan warship was squirming, and the deck was full of soldiers. The gunners and rattan soldiers wearing armor were almost filled with the space. The latter should not have appeared here. Their original mission was to board the enemy ship and fight the enemy hand in hand, but no one had done or even wanted to do this since the moment they joined the army. They just blackmailed the soldiers of the people in the name of suppressing the peasant uprising internally. No one would think of fighting to the death with the group of foreigners outside the ship.

As the elite navy of the Annan Dynasty, they were qualified to escort General Chen to board the safest ship. This was originally a privileged thing - just watch the unlucky guys in front of them fight and they didn't have to participate in the war, but no one expected that the fierce and agile Dasong high-speed assault column would burn the war from the head of the fleet to the tail of the fleet so quickly. The ship was no longer safe, at least the deck was no longer safe. Hundreds of soldiers followed them down from the upper level to the inner level, which was the artillery deck.

The artillery deck is spacious.

Western warships are layered, each floor from the bow to the stern, without separating the cabin, so looking at the deck on the lower floor, if it were not filled with people and guns, and the several large masts across the bottom of the ship to the highest point stand like pillars. This place is like a hall where you can see the tail from the beginning at a glance.

Soon the lower artillery deck was filled with soldiers holding swords and cannon gunners. Such a dense number of people would definitely hinder the cannon shooting, but who cares? The cannoners never thought about shooting. Not to mention that they were facing shell shooting, even in normal times, they could not ignite the cannons several times a year. They were looking forward to scaring each other away. Although this was a fantasy, it was this fantasy that supported the Annan Navy at this moment. The gunners and soldiers who were crowded between the cannons, listened to the thundering sounds getting closer and closer, and the horror shouts from the upper deck. Everyone's face turned pale and sweated like rain. Many people put their hands together, from generals to soldiers. They murmured Namo Ami Camel Buddha, praying that the Buddha who would meet his requests would be answered if he gave money, let the adult's car escape quickly. The faster the better.

But with the tragic howl of sailors coming through the upper stairs, the soldiers inside had no time to swallow the terrified saliva into their throats, a loud bang tore open the dark space!

As the light at the stern of the boat suddenly pierced into the claustrophobic space. A string of flesh-cracked whips suddenly thrust into the crowd of people who were eager for life. The people standing on both sides were pushed toward the hull on both sides by a force, and the person in the middle turned into a path made of flesh and blood, extending from the hole at the stern of the boat to the first mast pillar - a solid armor-breaking bomb flew in!

It crushed its thighs and crushed its intestines and abdomen with the heat from the borehole, and rushed around the crowd of flesh and blood until it hit the mast column as thick as a waist, bounced out, and embedded in the sternum of an Annan sailor, as if it was a ferocious beast that had exhausted its strength, and then fell into the crowd with blood all over the ground.

Amid Mancang's terrified howl and the tragic thunder of his broken arms and thighs, someone shouted: "Be careful of the shells! Lying down!"

Immediately, the entire warehouse fell to the ground, and the ocean sunlight shot in from the thunder shone on the backs of the people and the blood covered with decks. Except for the screams of those who had not yet died, they were silent.

Then another armor-breaking bomb flew into the inner artillery deck, penetrated the air full of fear, and hit a sidewalk of a ship. The thick oak wall blocked the violent but depleted shell, bounced it back on the deck like a marble, and smashed it on a soft body. Then it rolled down and rolled on the bumpy deck, until it hit a pile of people who didn't dare to get out of the air.

Next, there was deathly silence.

Annan Navy Train, who was lying nearest the stern, slowly stood up. This was the safest position, and he obtained it with privileges. However, the huge hole at the stern of the stern was dispersed with the salty sea breeze and the terrible sunlight, which originally represented safety and darkness, which illuminated everything around him unscrupulously. At this time, he was like a bat in a cave, fearing the light.

In extreme fear, he stood up and immediately saw everything outside through the man's high hole, but there was no sea surface, only a black shadow composed of direct and hard lines.

He stood there blankly, unconsciously letting go of his hand holding the knife handle. He rubbed his eyes with this hand, trying to see what it was.

Then he saw a square black hole. In the gap around the circular hole in the center, he saw a pair of bloodthirsty eyes looking at him like a beast, and the two looked at each other.

"What is that?" Before Annan's pipe could tell what the man was doing, a ball of white smoke suddenly burst out in the round hole facing him, and then a loud noise suddenly sucked out of the hole, surrounding him.

"Wow..." The mouth of the tube belt had just opened, and the ground disappeared. A cylindrical iron tube suddenly rushed in from the hole. Just as he touched the tube belt's face, the iron tool that burst out from gunpowder immediately smashed the weak head into splattering blood and brain plasma.

This is just the beginning.

It turned out that the pipe leader turned into a mist-shaped body of liquid and small pieces, and the iron tube seemed to be unable to hold on to the originally weak impact. The iron sheet suddenly flew away, and the group of lead bullets wrapped inside, which was as big as plums, splashed out like a swarm of bees, sweeping across the entire enclosed cabin like a storm.

"Retaliation! And..." General Li, an Annan navy, in flashing armor, jumped down the stairs under the howling of his subordinates. The situation was now extremely critical. His safe French ship was actually caught up. The four Dasong warships with ocean cross flags hung behind him were stuck up like hyenas chasing big buffaloes. Only then did he realize that he had a cannon!

There are so many things I have!

He and a subordinate hurriedly dodged by the Song people and fell from the mast to the corpse of the sailor, jumped down from the stairs, and entered the seemingly safer lower artillery deck cabin. However, as soon as he stepped on the wooden board of the lower deck, General Li felt as if a hurricane was rushing towards him. This was intuition.

Before he could see a ball of lower deck with a little light in the darkness, he saw a sailor running towards him a few steps away suddenly faded, and his head flew into the air. The lower half of his body slammed on the deck, and the subordinate who was shouting his order to fire a cannon and fight back suddenly turned upside down. General Li, who was frightened, raised one foot, as if the generals on the stage were riding horses and whipping, jumped backwards. His subordinate fell in front of him, his facial features disappeared, and a huge lead ball was embedded in the middle of his face.

After three seconds of stunned , General Li suddenly lay on the ground , his shiny helmet rolled forward , only then he realized that the lower artillery deck seemed to have been burned by fire . The air was filled with the smell of flesh and blood . Screams one after another , and the entire deck covered with people seemed to be squirming . The "carpet" composed of living people actually crawled in his direction , and everyone's feet were facing the light of the distant stern .

"Bong!" Something shot in from the light and hit the wall of the ship. The sound was not loud. General Li heard a very light sound, as if someone was knocking on the hull outside the ship with a paddle. But with the slight sound, it was a pounce, as if someone's tank was broken, and then the sound of marbles bumping in the box. Combined with this sound, it was a terrifying scream of a warehouse. Countless lead balls shot around in the hull, blood and flesh flying, broken hands and feet and head rolling around. The plasma seeped out of the crowd at a speed visible to the naked eye, and flowed into the passage in the middle where no one dared to stand!

The enemy is constantly shooting armor-breaking bullets and shotguns into the crack!

The warships were built quite strongly, with oak hulls several feet thick. The shells fired from a distance usually could not penetrate. The damage caused by the shells fired from close range, that is, a hole with a bowl mouth, the crew can usually lie down and avoid it and rarely suffer damage. The weakest part of a warship is the stern. The material used in the stern of the ship is much lighter and thin. A shell can not only penetrate easily, but also penetrate the entire deck, which has great lethality to personnel.

The "stern shot" rainfire method means that when moving behind the enemy ship, concentrate firepower to bombard the stern at a close distance. At this time, solid bullets and shotguns are usually fired. Solid bullets penetrate the hull, and dozens of lead bullets flew into the bullet holes and swept across the deck with a fan. At that time, there are no partitions inside the warship from beginning to end. In this way, the shotgun can be fired from the stern of the ship to the stage, causing a massacre-like killing effect on the entire deck. Such attacks can cause people on the entire layer of artillery deck of the enemy ship to lose their combat ability in five or six times.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" General Li, who was sweating all over, turned over and got up. The Jingyi sword issued by Emperor Side himself could be used to kill first and then report to the imperial envoy to climb up the stairs and escape to the upper deck. His body was trembling with the stairs, and agitated. The deadly lead ball shot from the stern was embedded on the stairs.

"We're going to be finished! Lord Li! What should I do?" As soon as I got on the deck, a general in armor knelt in front of General Li. The latter lost his helmet and looked out the boat with cold sweat. At this moment, the "Chinese Dragon" in the leading four wolfs had finished the rainfire, cut through the stern of Shunwei's ship, and then continued to maintain the posture of moving with Shunwei, firing frantically at the vast Shunwei. The gunners in the upper and lower artillery decks on Shunwei were not only suffering heavy casualties, but also endured the rainfire of the wolf pack behind, and there was no gunfire at all.

"Deputy General, something is abnormal on the stern of Shunwei!" A deputy pulled Luo Qianjie, who was holding the telescope in his forehand to observe the battle situation. Luo Qianjie followed his hand and turned slightly. He saw three people standing on the stern of Shunwei in the telescope. One of them was wearing a pair of armor in the middle, emitting dazzling light in the sunlight, and was shouting something to him.

"What are he shouting?" Luo Qianjie asked when he put down his telescope.

"I don't know." The deputy said in a daze.

"Maybe he surrendered," Luo Qianjie said, and at this time, a rapid and powerful prayer came from his ears with the rumbling of cannons: "God, please don't stay away from me, please help me. I believe you let me be ashamed and let the enemy play triumphant songs on me is my power. He teaches me to fight with my hands, and he teaches my fingers to fight with my fingers

Luo Qianjie turned his head and saw a birdie gunman in the Knife Legion kneeling on the side of the ship, with Sharps on his shoulder, and the muzzle was facing Shunwei. Beside him, Ding Yuzhan, with an excited face, held the telescope in front of him with one hand and pointed at the shiny object at the stern of the ship with the other hand. He shouted: "The one in the middle! The one in the middle!"

"Don't! He may surrender!" Luo Qianjie shouted immediately. But before he finished speaking, Sharps made a muffled sound. Luo Qianjie immediately picked up the telescope and looked at the light-emitting body just now. He saw only two people running around at the stern of the boat. He pulled down the telescope and saw a splash of water burst out from the water, and someone fell into the water.

Before he could put down his telescope, Ding Yuzhan heard the sound of a strange cry on the deck: "Our Xiaodao must have killed a general! Our Xiaodao must have killed a general!"

"That guy was beaten to death, what should I do?" the deputy asked depressedly.

"Forget it. The Annan Navy's combat power is not as good as that of pirates. Accepting their surrender is an insult to the Song Dynasty Navy! Completely annihilated!" Luo Qianjie said coldly.

Half an hour later, the first Annan battleship, which was surrounded by four wolfs of the Song Dynasty, rolled in thick smoke. Not only did it catch a fire and caused an ammunition to explode, but it also began to sink. The sailors on the ship went into the water and escaped like dumplings. The only thing that can be recorded in history is that this French-built warship, the only warship that could cause trouble to the coalition forces, was never fired from the beginning to the end. It was sunk while running away.

Only the brave will win in the navy! The ocean will only recognize offensiveism!

"Photo stick! Take it! Take it!" Ding Yuzhan snatched the long photo stick from his subordinates and reached down the boat. It was made of long bamboo, covered with iron sheets on his head. Then he aimed at an Annan soldier struggling in the sea and stabbed it hard, and the man disappeared immediately.

Not only the tail-sweeping warships of the Song Dynasty, but also the French and Spanish warships took out sticks to eliminate the enemy troops who were struggling in the waves.

These people may be better than their fellow comrades who were beaten to death and burned to death. In a few days, they will float on the sea of ​​corpses and leave all the corpses.

The Song Dynasty navy had no habit of rescuing the enemy. This was how they dealt with the pirates who were defeated by them.

Two hours later, the Annan Sea navy was wiped from the earth. In the navy and air-crown celebration salutes in front of the navy, it dragged a small boat steamer and commercial transport ship towards the entrance of the Xiangjiang River.

Now in front of the densely packed warships and transport ships of France, the only obstacle is the Shun'an Fortresses along the estuary of the Xiangjiang River.

"Now I see, why do I always do such dangerous things?" The next day, the spy of the Mission Division, who was now promoted by the high-ranking Qin Mazi sighed, changed into a straight tuxedo, jumped off the warship lined with muzzles, sat on a high boat with a white flag to send the notes, and together with the French envoy, headed towards the muzzle of the Annan defender at the entrance of the Xiangjiang River. There were only four Chinese words in the letter in his hand: surrender immediately.

In addition, according to custom, I will drink and rest day tomorrow and will not be updated.
