Fifteen Xu Hai Xinfu 3

These eight ironclad ships are also the biggest reason why Li Gongzuo dared to fight the pirates with very few warships this time, and at the same time dared to line up horizontally.

At this time, the distance between the two sides of the first warship was less than fifty steps, in Meng Heng's fleet, the first "Fei Biao", "Fei Jiao" and "Fei Leopard" three ships lined up in a zigzag, the interval of each ship was about ten steps, the three ships launched a bow and arrow attack almost at the same time, and for a time countless arrows, mixed with a lot of rockets, all shot towards the ironclad ships of the Song army.

But unlike in the past, the arrows that hit the opponent's ship fell into the sea one after another, and it was useless. The pirates on all three ships were shocked, and at this time the Song army also began to attack.

In the pirate fleet, rushing to the front was the "Flying Leopard" commanded by Xu Lin. In the face of the Song army, which was almost inferior to the warship, he was a little helpless. At this moment, only to hear the sound of "woo", a crossbow gun brought out a terrible whistling sound, flew from Xu Lin's left side, and penetrated the bodies of the two pirates in a row.

A crossbow gun had such a great power, and all the people on the ship couldn't help but feel a chill, and they all subconsciously looked for a place to hide.

However, just as the pirates were still in the throes, another thunderbolt landed on the deck, only to hear a loud "boom". The fire flashed, debris flew sideways, and more than a dozen people in the boat around the explosion were hit by the iron filings and steel sheets splashed by the jet, and fell to the deck screaming. Then there were two more "hoos, hoos", and two heavy bombs landed on the deck, quickly causing a burst of flames.

This series of blows made Xu Lin also at a loss, and he didn't know whether to fight back or put out the fire. But at this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Song Jun has crashed over." ”

"Boom!"

The thick iron vertebrae in front of the Song army's warship cut a large crack more than two zhang long on the right side of the "Flying Leopard", while the sharp iron of the bow of the "Flying Leopard" only made a long series of sharp and piercing gold and iron friction sounds with the Song army's hull, which caused almost no damage to the Song army's warship.

Just as the two ships passed by, more than 20 square openings suddenly opened on the side of the left side of the Song army's ironclad ship, and rockets, artillery, thunderbolts, tribulus fireballs, fierce oil bombs, and other weapons were all fired at the "flying leopard." At this time, the two sides were close at hand, and there was still a reason why they could not hit, and all the weapons issued in this round hit the starboard side of the "Flying Leopard" with several hands. The hull of the "Flying Leopard" immediately burst into flames, and the pirates on board were killed and wounded, and even Xu Lin was killed on the spot with two arrows.

And almost at the same time, the two ships "Fei Biao" and "Fei Jiao" also met the ironclad ships of the Song army. They could all see it clearly, and as soon as they made contact, one of their capital ships was completely destroyed by the Song army. But now I can't dodge, so I have to rush forward.

Before he came into contact with the warships of the Song army, the "Fei Biao" used more than 10 guns, thunderbolts, tribulus fireballs, fierce oil bombs and other firearms in the warp company, and the sails were all set on fire. With a "boom", it collided with an ironclad ship, and the entire hull of the ship was knocked into a turn to the right, blocking the sea. Immediately after that, another ironclad ship came and slammed into the port side of the "Fei Biao". The thick iron vertebrae were pierced almost completely from the left side of the "flying biao", and sawdust flew away.

"Squeak, squeak......" There was a sound of wood chips breaking, and the entire port side of the "Fei Biao" cracked a big hole. Seawater continues to pour into the cabin of the "Fei Biao", and it looks like it will sink too.

The fate of the other "Feijiao" was different from that of the other two, the commander Zheng Sihai was personally at the helm, although he also suffered a few firearms, but he made a sharp turn, dodging an ironclad ship that collided with him from the left, and the speed cut into the two ironclad ships behind.

An ironclad ship behind hurriedly turned its rudder and rammed into the "Feijiao" again, at which time the "Feijiao" suddenly accelerated and dodged the bow, but the stern was still hit. Fortunately, it was just a passing by, not a real impact, so the "flying Jiao" just shook for a while, and with the power of this collision, it changed its course, and just dodged an ironclad ship rushing up from behind.

In this way, although the "flying Jiao" was hit several times, the hull caught fire in many places, the mast was broken, and the sails were all burned, but it passed three levels in a row and finally rushed through the formation of the ironclad ship.

But before Zheng Sihai could be happy, he saw another row of Song army warships blocking the way in front of him. At the head was a huge boat like a small hill, and the soldiers on board aimed their arrows at their own scarred ship. I only heard someone say sharply: "Meng Heng has already abandoned you and fled, is it so difficult that you still have to buy his life?" Surrendering in the early years can save you from death. ”

It turned out that Meng Heng was in the center, and after seeing that the "Flying Leopard" was destroyed by the Song army, he knew that he could not penetrate the Song army's horizontal formation at all. The reason is that the Song army has these eight ironclad ships at the head, which is enough to disrupt the pirate formation, so that it is impossible to concentrate on attacking the horizontal formation of the Song army. On the contrary, the horizontal formation of the Song army, with the cooperation of these eight ironclad ships, will sweep through everything like a huge beam floating on the sea. Facing the almost unstoppable ironclad ship, even Meng Jiming, who had always been brave and aggressive, was like a chilling cicada at this time.

Therefore, Meng Heng immediately made a decision and ordered the "Flying Dragon" to turn the bow of the ship and flee in the opposite direction. At the same time, in order to reduce the load on the ship, all the things that could be thrown into the sea were thrown into the sea, such as tables, chairs, benches, utensils, and baggage. When the other ships saw this, they followed suit, turned their bows, threw away their superfluous things, and fled for their lives.

Zheng Sihai looked back at the sail of the "Flying Dragon" gradually moving away, knowing that Meng Heng had thrown himself down and fled alone, and saw that the ironclad ship was like a tiger like a flock of sheep, chasing the fleeing pirate ship, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, turned his head, and said to the bow of the ship: "I surrender." As he spoke, he threw away the knife in his hand.

Zheng Sihai was taken by the Song army to Shenzhou and came to Yang Yan, Yang Yan said: "Who is the rudder of your ship, and it is very good to be able to rush out of the ironclad ship." ”

Zheng Sihai said: "It's me." I couldn't help but feel a little proud in my heart, in terms of the skill of manipulating the boat at the helm, he was also sitting firmly under Meng Heng.

Yang Yan smiled: "What's your name?" ”

Zheng Sihai said: "My surname is Zheng, and my name is Sihai. ”

Yang Yan was also familiar with the ten cadres under Meng Heng's hands, nodded, and said: "Zheng Sihai, I have heard that the name is indeed worthy of its reputation. He pointed to the "flying Jiao" on the sea and said: "After I go back, I will have people repair this ship and still hand it over to you for command, hoping that you will serve the court well in the future and dismantle your crimes." ”

Zheng Sihai's heart trembled, knelt on the ground, and said, "Thank you, sir." ”
