Chapter 153 Han Xiufen's first attempt

"Paddle!"

The speed of the current was not enough, and seeing that the Dutch battleship had already shown a huge ramming angle, Han Xiufen ordered rowing to speed up the ship.

The ramming angles of the Lam Tin were unaesthetically pleasing compared to the Dutch warships.

There was only a huge triangular armor-piercing cone.

And the front part of the largest ship on the other side is a golden Medusa head, facing the blackfish ship that is less than half the height and tonnage less than half of itself, such a collision angle can smash the blackfish ship to pieces at one time.

Fortunately, the Blackfish ship is small, but it can be considered flexible, under the leadership of Bard, the four ships spread out on both sides, and then, Han Xiufen saw the smoke rising from the Dutch merchant ship in the center.

Bard didn't dare to get too far away from the Dutch battleship, otherwise, once the guns on the second and third decks of the people opened fire together, it would be their end.

He had no choice but to give the order to pull up all the sails and prepare to escape from the control of this battleship.

Clouds of smoke rose from the gunpowder, and the swarthy cannonballs crisscrossed between the two ships, and the ships broke like porcelain where the shells fell...... No matter which battleship it was, it was silently suffering.

Even Han Xiufen, who was two miles away, could feel the moaning of those big ships from the telescope.

The Dutch battleship was constantly being shot out by the bow guns, and before the huge anchor hooks landed on the deck, some sailors were desperate to cut the ropes, and the shotguns in the lower part of the ship always spewed out iron balls the size of eggs, sweeping across the deck like a torrential rain.

On Bard's Blackfish ship, all the gun windows were opened, and after a burst of flame erupted from the swarthy muzzle, it quickly retreated, and then there were gunners who quickly cleaned the chamber and loaded the ammunition...

The shell smashed into the hull of the Karak galleon and easily broke open the hull of the ancient battleship, which gave Bard great confidence, and he even lowered the rotten midsail torn by the chain bullets, and did not cut the hook and lock that the enemy had thrown on his ship.

He really wanted to jump on the giant ship opposite, and he believed that as long as he could engage in close combat, he would be able to entangle the ship and wait for Han Xiufen's support.

Seeing that Bard was doing this, the other three Blackfish boats also ended up in the same fate.

The two huge Karak warships were like spiders that could spin silk, and they threw countless hook locks to firmly capture the four Blackfish ships, and these hook ropes continued to be tightened, and the blackfish ships involuntarily slowly approached the Karak giant ship.

Bard pushed away the dead man lying on the rudder, and simply killed the rudder to the left, and the hull of the Blackfish ship, which had been upright to receive heavy fire, slowly turned sideways, and he even cut off the useless mast, using the mast as his own ramming angle, and under the action of the sea breeze, he fiercely slammed into the Karak giant.

With a bang, the shotgun roared again, hitting the already battered Blackfish ship, and Bard watched as his subordinates who were ready to jump the gang were bleeding from the torrential rain.

"Hyde, you're at the helm!"

Bard shouted, and before Hyde could take over, he let go of the rudder in his hand and let it spin, but he climbed the rope to the Dutchman's great ship.

Bullets rained down on the giant ship.

Pirates continue to fall into the sea, but more pirates bravely climb to the giant ship.

The bow of the blackfish ship finally approached the giant ship, but the ropes that the pirates climbed on were cut off by the Dutch sailors, and the Dutch sailors on the giant ship let out bursts of laughter when they saw these black pirates fall into the sea.

For this kind of black pirates, they look down on them, and with a little trickery, they can inflict heavy damage on these people, which they have long been accustomed to.

"Watch out for impact!"

The sailor of the Carrak Giant shouted, and the mast of the Blackfish ship pierced straight into the side of the ship, the side of the ship cracked, the mast cracked, and the tiny wooden spikes flew away, and a black pirate covered his face in despair and fell into the water.

Bard hugged the anchor and slowly climbed up the chain on a huge chain, with a string of companions hanging behind him.

With a "boom", the bow of the Blackfish ship finally hit the side of the Karak giant ship, hitting a big hole, but unfortunately, the big hole was above the waterline, and the remaining pirates hiding in the Blackfish ship drilled into the giant ship along this big hole.

After a while, explosions and fighting sounded constantly on the giant ship.

Han Xiufen put down the binoculars and said to her deputy Pei Yulin: "It's still more beneficial for us to jump to the gang. ”

Pei Yulin also put down the binoculars and said: "But in the artillery battle, we can't do it yet, especially because Bard's ability to operate their guns is too far behind, you can also see that there are eighteen eighteen-pounder cannons on Bard's ship, which is already very powerful."

But in the face of the enemy ship's artillery, he didn't even have the power to fight back.

These ships were still old Portuguese ships, and I even suspect that these ships were old warships that had been eliminated by the Europeans, and their schooners did not appear.

New battleships, and frigates, have not appeared, and I bet that we may not be able to fight back once the new schooner megaship arrives. ”

Han Xiufen nodded and said: "So, this battle must be fought, this is our whetstone, prepare for the two galleons that come around, don't kill wantonly this time, we need a group of good gunners." ”

As he spoke, the eight ships led by Han Xiufen had already entered the range of the Karak giant ship, and the range-finding shells fired by the other party fell into the sea water and stirred up waves, seeing that the shells were approaching the Lantian more and more each time, Han Xiufen nodded in appreciation.

With three rounds of guns, you can aim at the Lantian and it is not easy.

He glanced again at the galleon of Karak, which was speeding away, and set his eyes on the mouth of the Malacca River.

Sure enough, there was a dense stream of small ships at the mouth of the Malacca River, which must have been the ships of King Muhammad, who had been defeated by her last time.

These damned earth kings have finally become complicit with the Dutch.

"Order Leonie, and Wang Tong two ships to deal with those earth dogs, and we will deal with these five ships."

Pei Yulin immediately waved the flag and notified Leonie and Wang Tong.

Han Xiufen sat on the bow of the boat, watching the cannonballs falling from the sky thoughtfully.

The shells landed in the sea not far from the bow, and the guns on the bow of the Lantian also began to fire, followed by the bow guns on the rest of the battleships.

A mile away, the shells fired were of little practical significance.

It's just two lions about to fight roaring at each other to scare each other.

The speed at which the two fleets approached was far faster than Han Xiufen had imagined, and it seemed that the sea god couldn't wait to see this bloody fight.

A red-hot cannonball landed on the Lantian and smashed heavily on the deck, but it did not penetrate the deck, and after jumping on the deck a few times, it rolled to Han Xiufen's feet.

This is a twelve-pounder shell, without the blessing of kinetic energy, it can only rely on its own weight, it is difficult to pose a threat to the sturdy Lantian Lot.

With a "buzz", the one-foot-long giant arrow on the Lantian was shot out by a powerful crossbow, and the long crossbow arrow crossed the wide sea and landed accurately on the giant ship opposite, but it was also not powerful and unmatched, and it was nailed to the deck of the giant ship like a harpoon.

At this time, the fleet had reached the narrowest point of the Strait of Malacca, and the current had obviously become stronger, Han Xiufen looked back at the people in Lantian who were standing behind him: "This battle should be fought to the death!" ”

The Lantian people, who have been floating on the sea for more than a year, have begun to become familiar with life at sea, and when they heard the words, they tapped their leather armor and picked up their bird guns.

The bows of the two ships were speeding towards each other, and just as they were about to collide, the Carrak galleon moved slightly to the right, which made the fierce Lantian pounce into the air, and at this moment, the shouts of "open fire" and "open fire" sounded on both ships at the same time.

Artillery fire roared.

The two ships, which had just looked intact, had become tattered on one side after a round of artillery.

Han Xiufen struggled to throw out a grenade, and the grenade landed on the deck and exploded, so she shouted: "Right full rudder"

The Lam Tin made a beautiful arc to the right, avoiding a hard fight with the second intact Karak galleon.

Liu Mingliang, who bombarded the Karak galleon with Han Xiufen, began to shoot with the second galleon after re-preparing for shooting.

Thick smoke rose again on the surface of the sea.

After smashing the sea and turning in a circle, the Lantian did not pay attention to the armed merchant ship not far away, but re-pulled the sails and rushed towards the Karak galleon, which also turned back with the help of the current.

This time, no one had the intention of evading, and in the last round of artillery battles, neither side took advantage, and they were all ready to defeat each other in the gang jumping battle.

When the triangular armor-piercing cone collided with Medusa's head, both ships came to a moment from a state of rapid action, and the armor-piercing cone pierced Medusa's head, and the carrak galleon, which had a larger displacement, pushed the Lantian slowly forward after counteracting the force of the armor-piercing cone.

The hull of the ship slowly turned sideways, and there was another fierce burst of artillery fire, this time unlike the last artillery battle, hundreds of black iron balls were thrown out on the deck of the Lantian Ship.

The deck of the Carrak galleon burst into flames.

Han Xiufen jumped onto the Karak galleon, slashed to death a Dutch sailor with a bird's gun, and went straight to the helmsman.

The sound of bird guns sounded like beans, and the people in leather armor jumped on the Karak galleon, and after emptying the bird guns, they jumped over the corpses all over the ground and brandished their war knives and pounced on the Dutchman who had just climbed out of the cabin.

The Dutchman who controlled the rudder was as majestic as a lion, and he was surprised to find that a woman had actually bypassed the soldiers who were fighting and rushed towards him, so he let go of the rudder with a cruel smile, picked up a battle axe from the ground, threw away the iron helmet on his head, revealed a head of chestnut hair, and said to Han Xiufen who was in a hurry: "From today on, you will be my slave girl!" ”
