Lin Qilao placed his main force at the front in a highly aggressive formation, trying to force Ichimoku to face him head-on. He never imagined that one foot taller than the other, Ichimaku used the fire boat tactic to force Lin Qilao to an inch.
There was a huge chaos, and then he took advantage of the chaos and led his warships to cut through the waves and rush into Lin Fang's fleet formation. Dozens of ships from both sides were entangled in a desperate battle. The sound of artillery sounded overwhelming, covering the entire world in an instant. Except for the endless giant waves in the world,
No other sounds can be heard outside the ring.
Huang Chen's two boats, one sail and one oar, shuttled through the enemy boats like loaches. During the march, the cannons on the left and right did not forget to pour cannon fire wildly on both sides.
There are no cannons on the eight-oared boat. At first, the bird boat had one bronze gun, three large and small blunderbuss, and three hundred blunderbuss. In Huang Chen's previous life, he was considered a hardcore player of "Navigation".
Unfortunately, he couldn't buy better artillery for the time being, so he had to make do with it. The Franchise and Baizi cannons were good at sweeping the deck with scattered shells, but the damage to ships was extremely limited. The copper-fired bullets weighed three to four kilograms, which were at least better than them.
It is stronger. In the past few months, Huang Chen has purchased five doors one after another. Together with the original door, it is located on the left and right sides. There are three seats in each side. They can be used on both sides. The cycle is endless, which suddenly increases the firepower of the bird ship several times. It is better than the big bird ship of Hu Er.
It's a three-pointer. Of course, the price paid for this is also quite high. Huang Chen is extremely poor now. If there is no income anymore, the family will be unable to open the pot.
"Bang bang bang..."
The fierce artillery battle between the two sides not only caused a large number of casualties, but also generated a large amount of white gunpowder smoke. The visibility continued to decrease, and soon it seemed like being in fog. What was good for Huang Chen was that the southwest wind was blowing, and the gunpowder smoke moved slowly with the wind.
Slowly drifting towards the rear of Lin Qilao's fleet, Huang Chen's two warships attacked the enemy with the wind from south to north, taking advantage of them.
However, although Huang Chen's party killed a lot of enemies, he still inevitably suffered casualties. Dots of fire appeared in the vast white fog, and then dense cannons rushed out of the fog and swept across the deck of the bird ship. Unfortunately, several people were hit, and sprayed
Blood fell to the ground. This was the first time that Huang Chen's men died in battle after becoming the captain of the ship, and three of them appeared at once. When Chen Wu reported the names of the three dead with a solemn expression, three familiar faces immediately appeared in Huang Chen's mind.
, it felt like a heavy boulder was weighing on my heart. Three people died violently just after the battle began, which seemed to indicate that this battle may not be as smooth as one imagined.
There is a doctor on the bird ship, who is only twenty years old. He is the eldest disciple of the doctor on Hu Er's old ship. He was recently invited by Huang Chen to serve as a doctor. It is difficult to say whether his medical skills are good or bad. He has accumulated a lot of clinical experience under the guidance of his master in the past few years.
After experiencing the experience, several injured crew members were carried into the hospital cabin. He immediately picked up the knife and axe, dug out flesh, amputated limbs, applied medicine, and stopped bleeding...
Huang Chen had no time to go to the hospital cabin to visit the wounded, so he sat on the helm and commanded the two ships to continue advancing deeper. During this period, he tried to keep a relatively safe distance from the enemy ships and only fired from a distance. He was so cautious because of his considerations. The number of enemy ships nearby
There are quite a lot of them. The consequences of rashly engaging the opponent in a broadside battle are likely to be the target of public criticism and besieged by the enemy. Not to mention that he only has two ships, and it will be useless to double them. A battle at sea can last for several days.
, the fight will last for several hours at short notice. As long as you maintain enough patience, are you afraid that you won't find an opportunity? There is really no need to jump into the battle too early.
The sea is so vast, and more than an hour has passed in a hurry after just a few rounds of confrontation between the two sides. The ship of Yimulao and Lin Qilao was like a lighthouse, attracting warships from all directions to gather around it, Huang Chen couldn't help but
Exception. The outer area is very chaotic. Dozens of enemy and friendly sailing boats are intertwined with each other, engaging in artillery battles, or joining gangs, and using all means to kill the enemy.
Huang Chen saw that although his own ships were far fewer than those of his opponents, they were fighting vigorously and taking advantage of them. He immediately stopped staying too much on the periphery and carefully moved closer to the center while avoiding the enemy...
Yimu Lao had spent a lot of money to attack Lin Qilao. He, Hu Erlao, and Wang Fengwu had three ships with a length of more than ten feet as the main ones, supplemented by a medium-sized sailboat and seven or eight fire ships. They targeted Lin Qilao.
Qilao's ship rushed and attacked fiercely, and the attacks continued. However, Lin Qilao did not fight alone. Four or five large ships guarded his left and right, and they worked together to repel Ichimu Lao's invasion.
There is no doubt that Ichimoku Lao has the upper hand in the general situation, but the tactical advantage is not so obvious, and it can even be said that he suffers a lot. Lin Qilao's other ships are not afraid, but the end of the ship is difficult to deal with, and not only is it on board
There were many cannons on board, more than 20 of which weighed more than 300 to 400 kilograms, and four powerful red barbarian cannons. Ichimoku led his troops to the front several times, but was blasted away by the opponent's fierce artillery fire. He was very angry.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes were as bright as fire, and he was helpless but the other party couldn't.
Ichimoku Lao couldn't chew Lin Qilao, and the latter was also unable to defeat him. The two sides were at a stalemate, forming a strange equilibrium situation.
Huang Chen broke in under such circumstances. He didn't think he had the final say. Those who don't overestimate their own abilities will never live long. He is neither arrogant nor belittle oneself. Huang Chen has a clear understanding of his own strength. Lin Qilao
He didn't dare to provoke the enemy ship, so it wouldn't be a big problem if he helped Ichimoku hold off one or two enemy ships.
Huang Chen's eyes turned to Lin Qilao's towering ship, which was more than twelve feet long, and landed on another ship not far away. Although this ship was not as good as Lin Qilao's ship, it was also ten feet long, and could be as long as a glance.
Lao, Erlao Hu, and Wang Fengwu competed with the three-man ship. The flag hanging on the main mast of the big ship showed that its owner was Lin Fang's second-ranking figure, Lin Yu, Lin Balao, Lin Qilao's brother.
"It's you..." Huang Chen couldn't help but licked his dry lips. Choosing Lin Balao as the target was undoubtedly a risky behavior. Maybe the boat didn't get caught and he was thrown into it. But then again, fighting is a war.
It itself represents a high risk. Even if you do nothing, a stray bullet may suddenly look for you. What's more, owning a ten-foot-long ship means that Huang Chen's strength, status, and wealth will be greatly improved in all aspects.
The temptation was too great for him. Moreover, the enemy had been defeated for a long time and was already at the end of its war effort. If Huang Chen's men who had worked hard for half a year to train could not defeat such a weak opponent, it would be better to give up the idea of selling the ship as soon as possible and use it.
He bribed officials with money and took his grandmother and dumb sister back to the Ming Dynasty to live in seclusion.
Huang Chen's arrival did not change Yi Mian Lao's mood. The latter was full of anger. Hu Er Lao always acted with him. Wang Fengwu also arrived early. However, Huang Chen's son arrived late. He had to doubt whether this son had any preservation.
It's just that it's hard to get the idea of strength now. If I win a big victory today, I can always pretend to be dumbfounded. If I lose, I have to ask him why he's late.
Not long after, Yimou Laoyao saw Huang Chen's bird ship sending a signal that it was ready for battle. He temporarily put away his thoughts, sailed the boat and rode the waves, launching a new round of charge towards Lin Qilao.
Yi Mulao over there moved, Huang Chen followed suit, and cooperated with Yi Mulao to approach Lin Qilao's battleship from the other end.
In the eyes of Lin Qilao, Lao Fang was his biggest enemy, and he disdained Huang Chen's sail, oar and two broken boats. However, it would be a disaster to keep them after all, so he sent Lin Yu to lead two boats under his command to attack, and warned his younger brother that he must
Sink the enemy ship as soon as possible and come back to support. Lin Balao took the order carelessly and regarded Huang Chen's sail and oar as a coffin floating in the sea.
Seeing this, Huang Chen felt a mixture of joy and sorrow. He was happy that the prey came to his door automatically, but he was worried that there was more than one opponent. Although the two sides were equal in quantity, the difference in quality was not small. An eight-foot bird boat and a four-foot and eight-oared boat were compared to a ten-foot and eight-foot boat.
No matter how you look at it, the two large sailing ships have little chance of winning. Especially the eight-oared boat is weak. Once it is scratched by the opponent's large ship, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will be killed.
Huang Chen rubbed his thumb, middle and index fingers repeatedly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought quietly. When the opponent rushed within a hundred feet, he had an idea in his mind and ordered to retreat.
Lin Balao scolded Huang Chen for being a coward, and chased him for a while. Seeing that Huang Chen was trying to escape from the battlefield, he became upset and cursed a few more words before returning in frustration.
Unexpectedly, Huang Chen regained his energy and pursued Lin Balao aggressively. Balao was furious, turned the bow of the boat, and wanted to kill Lin Balao. Unexpectedly, Huang Chen's indomitable momentum suddenly disappeared, and the boat slowed down.
Don't get close or go away, confront him from a distance.
Lin Balao chased him again, and Huang Chen escaped again. This happened again and again. At this time, Lin Balao, even an idiot, realized that Huang Chen had no intention of starting a war with him. His plan was to hold him back and create a good opportunity for Yimu Lao. The fierce fighting from behind
The sound of fighting confirmed his guess. Unable to pursue or retreat, Lin Balao was hesitant. Finally, he thought of a compromise, and ordered the eight-foot sailing boat to go back first to help Lin Qilao fend off the enemy. He stayed behind to monitor Huang.
Chen. He believed that he made the right choice. The eight-foot sailboat was no match for Huang Chen's second boat. Wouldn't leaving it be like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth? He had to personally take charge.
"Hehehe..." Huang Chen stood on the bow of the ship and smiled when he saw the enemy ships leaving and leaving.
