Chapter 578: People turn on their backs
Seeing Liu Xiang commanding the fleet and rushing straight towards the oncoming more than a dozen warships without looking back, even Yang Feng was taken aback, he quickly put back the drone in the sky, and was about to run towards the wheelhouse without thinking, but after just running two steps, he stopped again, and his face was full of helplessness.
"Forget it...... Let her go! ”
I also swore that I would never interfere with her command, and if I ran over to interfere with her command now, if I really did this, I am afraid that after this battle, with the stubborn temper of this chick, I am afraid that I will really resign from myself.
More than 50 warships of the Fujian Navy Division, under the leadership of Liu Xiang's flagship, quickly and firmly rushed towards the weakest point of Zheng Zhilong's encirclement, and in the front of the fleet, a fleet of more than 10 warships was blocking in front of them, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and after only a few minutes, the distance between the two sides had been rapidly shortened to less than 100 meters.
In fact, after seeing this scene, it was not only Yang Feng who was frightened, but Zheng Zhilong and others, who were commanding the fleet to besiege the Fujian Naval Division, were also frightened.
Zheng Zhihu's mouth opened wide, and a series of foul words blurted out: "I'm his grandma, Liu Xiang, this girl doesn't want to die, how dare she do this?" ”
Zheng Zhilong's right hand was holding the armrest on the side, and a strange light appeared in his eyes, and his eyes contained shock, incomprehension, and regret.
Zheng Zhibao, who has always been shrewd and calm, also oozed a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and after a while, he muttered: "No, Liu Xiang is an old man no matter how he says, how can he make such an unwise move, it's a pity...... It's a pity ......."
In the eyes of the three brothers of the Zheng family, Liu Xiang was simply asking for his own death by doing this, as long as they were entangled by those more than ten warships, it would not take ten minutes for them to be surrounded by groups, and at that time, even if they had great ability, they would also be overwhelmed by ships several times as many as them.
Since both fleets were facing each other, the guns mounted on both sides at this angle had lost their effectiveness, and the sailors on both fleets could only watch as the two battleships at the front of the fleet approached at a rapid speed.
I have to say that the pirates who lick blood at sea all the year round do have a brave temperament, and they do not choose to turn or escape in the face of warships whose tonnage is at least several times larger than their own, but choose to charge.
On the pirates, a man with a scar on his right cheek was holding a steel knife and was loudly cheering up the pirates on the ship: "Brothers, crash into it...... Bump into it...... As long as we can force them to stop, we will make a great achievement, and when the time comes, all the brothers will eat and drink spicy food and spicy food, and there will be a lot of bounty women! ”
Under the instigation of this man, the pirates on the ship also began to be restless, looking at the oncoming Ming warships with fierce eyes, many people also shouted to give themselves courage.
"Brothers, fight with those dog officers and soldiers, as long as we don't die, we will get rich!"
"Right...... People die and birds are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years, and they will fight with those officers and soldiers! ”
"By the way, although the boat of the dog officers and soldiers is bigger than ours, we are not vegetarians, as long as we keep them here, we will make a lot of money!"
A group of pirates, knowing that the tonnage of the opponent's warship was much larger than their own, still roared and drove the warship to respond.
If Yang Feng hadn't recovered the drone, he could see two fast-moving warships, one large and one small, rushing towards each other desperately like red-eyed bulls.
"Ready to impact...... All looking for fixed cover! ”
The roars of the officers sounded everywhere on the battleship, the sailors were all busy looking for cover, and even Yang Feng hugged a mast tightly, if he fell into the sea in such a battle, the chances of survival were very slim.
"Boom!"
When the two battleships finally collided head-on, with a muffled sound, Yang Feng, who was hugging the mast, felt a shock under his feet, and the speed of the battleship that was originally advancing at high speed suddenly slowed down, and then a shocking scene appeared, telling the advancing battleship that although it slowed down, it was still moving firmly and slowly, and on the other hand, the enemy ship on the opposite side was torn in two by the sturdy bow of his own battleship like tearing cardboard.
"I'm grass...... That's fine, too! ”
In the stunned eyes of countless people, the third-class battleship that rushed to the front unceremoniously smashed the Fu ship belonging to the Zheng family group in front of it into two, and countless debris and sailors fell into the sea one after another.
"How so!"
Seeing this scene, Zheng Zhilong, who was watching the battle from a distance, jumped up in shock.
Next to him, Zheng Zhibao pointed at the culprit and exclaimed, "Hit the horn...... The Ming army actually installed a ramming angle in the bow of the ship! ”
It turned out that at this time, after the impact, the wooden plank on the outside of the bow of the Ming army's frontmost third-class battleship was peeled off, revealing a sharp collision angle that was swarthy and shining with cold light.
"Grass, Nicholas, this guy actually installed ramming horns on the bow of my ship?" Looking at the sudden collision angle, even Yang Feng was stunned.
In fact, the ramming horn is not a rare thing, it was invented by the Egyptians as early as 1200 BC, and later it was widely used by ancient Phoenician, Greek and Roman galleys, and was once very popular in some places such as Obarro. On the other hand, the East, which advocates wisdom, has always been very contemptuous of this kind of brute force collision, so generally speaking, few people will put this thing on their warships.
The Black Sea Shipyard did not think too much about the construction of the third-class battleship and added a ramming angle to the battleship, and in order to look good, those old Maozi also specially wrapped a layer of wooden decoration on the outside of the ramming angle, and when the battleship was delivered, those old Maozi engineers did not specifically explain this to Yang Feng, which also caused the situation that appeared today.
Seeing a warship easily smashed in two, this was quite shocking for the warring parties, and the pirates of Zheng Zhilong's group were naturally frightened and gasped collectively, while the Ming army, on the other hand, was greatly boosted.
Faced with such a result, without Liu Xiang's order, all the battleships rushed over as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
On the other hand, the remaining dozen or so warships under Zheng Zhilong's command began to hesitate, the Fu ship that was sunk just now was already the largest tonnage ship among them, and even this ship was smashed in two, not to mention their small points.
Just when these warships were still hesitating, the warships of the Ming army had already collided with them, and under the opening of the way of the five third-class warships, more than a dozen warships blocking the front were knocked over, and the sunken ones were injured by the sunken ones, and the encirclement that Zheng Zhilong had high hopes for was broken in an instant.
