Chen Zuyi's ship suddenly launched into action, and the pirate soldiers on board waiting for review also ran to their stations, picked up their bows and crossbows, and threw their spears.
Zheng He, who was standing on the bow of the giant ship, smiled. He waved his hand gently, and several huge sails, which had already dropped by half, were suddenly lifted up at full speed. The huge anchor, which was about to enter the water, also stopped instantly. The tip of the anchor had just dropped.
Caught by the waves of the sea, it stopped abruptly.
During the day, the sea breeze blows from the ocean to the land. Because the harbor is shaped like a trumpet, the wind force increases exponentially after the sea breeze blows into the harbor. The huge sails on the ship are blown up by the strong wind, and the entire giant ship looks like a Godzilla.
Like a monster, it rushed forward unscrupulously. At the same time, the large ships on the left and right of the giant ship quickly spread out to the left and right, and dozens of small warships interspersed in and rushed forward quickly.
Chen Zuyi wanted to use a beheading tactic, but when he jumped out of the huge mouth, he suffered bad luck first.
"Woo, woo, woo~~"
The Ming warships all hoisted their full sails, accelerated suddenly, and faced them majestically, as if Mount Tai was crushing an egg.
"Boom! Boom!"
The cannons fired at the giant ships deployed on both sides. The cannons roared in turn. The sound of the cannons was deafening. Seabirds flew high. Some of them had no time to escape. They were shaken by the cannons and fell crookedly towards the sea.
.
Chen Zuyi was shocked on the shore. The current situation was like a military exercise agreed upon by both parties, and they launched attacks almost at the same time. How could this happen?
His original plan was to seize the giant ship first, behead it, and then take advantage of the Ming army's chaos and leaderlessness to defeat them one by one. At this time, the Ming army's warships were crowded together and could not move, and their ships had stopped.
Now that we have to pull up the anchor and raise the sail, we still don’t have enough motivation to move, so we can only let it be at its mercy.
Later, his warships ambushing outside the port will seal the exit in time, and there are also a large number of soldiers he ambushed on the shore, enough to eat up all the Ming troops, but now...
Zheng He stood on the high bridge with a disdainful sneer on his lips.
He was in the limelight, and standing at such a high place, looking down at the entire harbor, he didn't even have to worry about the damage the opponent's arrows would do if they hit this position.
Clowns! What you see in front of you is just a group of clowns. Stepping onto this giant ship makes you feel an invincible loneliness...
"Bang! Bang!"
The shells hit the enemy ships one after another, and the shells that landed in the sea only stirred up huge waves, but the shells that landed on the hull were miserable. How could a pirate ship withstand such a heavy blow?
It shattered and hit the deck, creating a huge deep pit, with sawdust and wooden thorns flying everywhere, causing the unlucky pirates to scream.
"Boom! Boom!"
Cannon barrels sprayed with fury, battleships plowed the sea water, giant sails gathered full wind power, the sea surface was filled with smoke, drum horns roared, cannons rumbled, and heavy solid iron bullets roared out, making ghosts cry and wolves howl.
As soon as the battle broke out, several of Chen Zuyi's warships lost power and stood there, letting the sea water surge up from the bottom of the ship like a fountain. One of the smaller warships was completely blown into two pieces and was half-way in the sea water.
Sinking and half-floating. As soon as they fought, the pirates suffered heavy losses, but at this time, the Ming army had not suffered any casualties.
Closer, closer!
Maybe there is still a chance to join the gang to fight. Chen Zuyi does not believe that the Ming army can gain an advantage in hand-to-hand combat on the ship.
It's a pity that Zheng He didn't give him a chance to prove it. The lives of soldiers are precious. Why fight with force when you can easily take your life?
Seeing that the ships from both sides were approaching, ten feet, nine feet, eight feet...
The pirates who were lucky enough to survive were extremely ferocious. They had abandoned their bows and crossbows, grabbed their axes, poked their sticks, and were ready to fight together. Suddenly, long and thin pipes appeared on the Ming warships, and then
Streams of black and shiny kerosene sprayed out like heavy rain on the enemy ships.
Almost at the same time, some Ming soldiers wearing mandarin duck jackets suddenly appeared on the side of the ship. They were holding a piece of rope in their hands, and tied to the rope was a black thing, which looked like a urine jar.
It looked ugly, and there was a piece of fire medicine on top of the jar, which was swallowing the flames "chichi".
"put!"
Cans suddenly flew out of their hands and flew towards the pirate warships. "Bang!" The cans fell to the ground, the fire potion splashed everywhere, burning violently, and then ignited the kerosene flowing everywhere, and each pirate ship turned into a
It turned into a burning torch, and the pirates were running wild and full of the ship. Some people ran to the side of the ship with all their strength in flames, and a beautiful fish jumped into the sea, while more people had no chance to break out of the volcano.
The ships of both sides were completely close. Because of the fire, the pirate ship did not slow down or adjust its course at all to allow the ships to make contact. However, the Ming army did not slow down at all, let alone avoid it, and just rammed straight into it.
Even if the Ming warships are small ships, they are generally one size larger and taller than the pirate ships. They just ram into each other straight like rhinoceroses!
Brutal collision!
Collision tactics are usually not used casually in naval battles, because while ramming tactics cause damage to enemy ships, they will also inevitably cause certain damage to your own warships. Moreover, ramming attacks are more complicated than attacking with ship-based weapons.
The skills of the helmsman and crew require higher requirements for ship operation, and head-on collisions are particularly dangerous in corner battles.
However, the Ming army's ships already had an absolute advantage and there was no need to resort to angle collision tactics, so they charged forward.
The collision angle of the Ming army was blunt, and the sharp collision angle could easily lock the two ships together after ramming through the hull of the enemy ship. In an era that mainly relied on wind as the driving force, it was very difficult to separate them. The next step was to
They could only engage in hand-to-hand combat, and the Ming army obviously did not want to have close contact with the enemy, so they adopted an obtuse angle.
In fact, before the Ming army set off, they had already learned about Chen Zuyi's pirate ship from various channels. They knew very well that the enemy ships did not have the conditions to collide with the Ming army. The quality of the ships on both sides was not at the same level.
If you collide with it, the damage suffered by your own warship will be negligible.
During ocean voyages, the recruitment of soldiers was a big problem, so between the loss of soldiers and the slight damage to the ship, their commander chose the latter without hesitation.
Not only did the Ming army fully understand the situation of Chen Zuyi's fleet and ships before the operation, but during the trip, they notified all the fleet's attachés, including all the merchants, about Chen Zuyi's possible evil intentions. The purpose of this was naturally to let them know what was going on.
, so that when people who do not know the truth or deliberately spread information that is detrimental to the Ming army, they will be the most direct and powerful witnesses.
At this moment, they were lucky enough to witness the entire battle. It was not a battle of the same level at all. This was not a battle at all. It was simply a one-sided ravage.
It was as if a big man, eight feet tall and weighing two hundred and sixty kilograms, held down a five-year-old yellow-haired girl and beat her hard with his big fist.
"boom!"
First hit by shelling, then burned, and finally struck by an obtuse blow, the pirate ship was instantly destroyed in the collision. Five pirate ships were smashed to pieces on the spot and scattered into piles of burning waste wood, burning on the sea. Several other pirate ships were also burned.
The hull of the ship was shattered by the collision, and some of the pirates who were not hit by the cannonballs or burned to death by the flames were knocked into the sea, and some were knocked so hard that they fell to the deck, leaving them dazed.
After this collision, the Ming warship also stopped, and soldiers appeared on the deck one after another, holding fire systems, aiming at the pirates who survived the disaster, and practicing their marksmanship.
On the deck, Xia Xun looked on with a smile. Su Ying stood aside, dressed in a smart outfit, looking very happy. Tang Saier clenched her little fists and kept cheering, her beautiful little face turned red.
"Haha, Mr. Fei Yinglun, what do you think?"
Xia Xun smiled and patted Fei Yinglun on the shoulder. Fei Yinglun made a sound of "Ahhhhh" without answering at all. He was looking straight ahead with anger.
Directly ahead, Zheng He's main ship never stopped and was rushing towards the dock.
Wherever the giant ship passed, the two enemy ships rushing towards them, the fishing boats and merchant ships moored at the pier were not knocked over or smashed one by one, but... Instead, the giant ship passed everywhere, crushing them all.
When we got to the bottom of the ship, we waited for the huge ship to pass by. The deep seawater was surging, and it took a long time to turn over a pile of wooden fragments. It was amazing! It was terrifying!
When Xia Xun was talking to him, the giant ship was only a hundred feet away from the dock. Fei Yinglun clenched his fists and stared with wide eyes. Looking at the momentum, he almost thought that the giant ship was going to rush onto the dock.
Go ahead and crush Chen Zuyi into thin pieces.
Fortunately, the giant ship finally made a move to stop at this time. The nine-section mast on the giant ship all lowered its sails with a "crash" sound, and the two large anchors on the left and right sides of the ship were also released at the same time.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the critical moment. The right anchor entered the water smoothly, but the left anchor got stuck. It was very difficult to start such a huge ship, and it was equally difficult to stop it. Although all the sails were down, the huge ship
The inertia still caused the ship to rush forward quickly. The helmsman on the Zheng He ship noticed something was wrong and immediately swung the giant rudder with a diameter comparable to the length of Columbus's flagship.
The big ship turned in time and made a row to get closer to the pier. As the left anchor swung, the stuck chain suddenly loosened. The anchor chain was quickly released with a splash of sparks, but the anchor did not enter the water.
, actually used the inertia to throw it towards the dock, and pulled it from left to right.
This scene was seen by Fei Yinglun, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and his eyes widened again. He saw that the anchor was like a weapon in the hands of Boston, the god of the sea. It was thrown ashore, and then plowed from left to right, and the giant anchor passed by.
, countless stumps and broken arms flew into the air. Standing in front of the pier was a crowd pretending to welcome, and behind them were Chen Zuyi's troops. The giant anchor ran rampant among these troops, plowing a huge gap.
.
The giant ship almost brushed the dock and completed the turn. The right anchor at the back was tightened, and the left anchor at the front also stopped on land. Half of the tip of the anchor was filled with dirt, and the other half was exposed to the sun. It was covered with blood and flesh.
Yin Yin seeps down...
