659 'Zheng San' VS 'Sea Trailblazer'

[Today's second chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!] 】

"Fire!"

When the hulls of the two giant ships staggered past each other, and the distance between them was only one or twenty meters, Shi Daxuan ordered the fire of Bruce's 'Sea Pioneer'.

Thundered!

For a while, the sound of cannons shook the sky, and red flames flashed from the gun port of Shi Daxuan's ship, named 'Zheng San'.

At such a close distance, the three-masted gunboat 'Zheng San' fired cannonballs, which basically hit the 'Sea Pioneer' on the side, and suddenly the 'Sea Pioneer' hull was blasted out of holes one by one, and the wood chips flew over.

"Fire!"

Almost at the same time that the 'Zheng San' three-masted gunboat opened fire, Bruce's side also ordered the cannon to be fired, and the shells also hit the hull of the 'Zheng San' three-masted gunboat on the side.

"Ahhh

In the cabins of both sides, the screams of those gunners also sounded immediately.

In particular, the artillery on the red-haired ghost's side is even more pitiful than the artillery on the Zheng family's side.

Because, among the shells fired by the 'Zheng San' gun, although most of them were solid shells capable of causing great damage to the hull.

But among them, there are also a small number of explosive bombs, which the Zheng family stole from Li Zixiao in Jiangbei.

The explosive bomb exploded in the cabin, causing far more damage to the gunners of the red-haired ghosts around it than solid shells.

Whether it is the iron nails and pieces of iron that shoot out in all directions, or the wood chips scattered out because of the explosion, they can cause great damage to the gunners of the red-haired ghosts.

"Quick, quick, clear the chamber, load the shells!"

It's just that, at this moment, the artillery commanders on both sides have no time to care about the casualties of the soldiers, and urge the gunners to clean the guns, then load the shells, and shoot again.

At this time, which of the two warships can win is compared to the power and firing speed of their artillery.

Bang bang bang!

At the same time that the artillery of the two sides continued to bombard each other, the musketeers on the decks and towers of the warships on both sides were also firing wildly at each other.

"Shoot! Put! ”

The musketeers on both sides also fired wildly, but on the side of the red-haired ghosts, they were stronger than the Zheng family's army, because they were equipped with flintlock pistols.

However, Zheng Jiajun's side moved the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Furlong Machine to the deck and bombarded the deck and the ship's building.

These Tiger Squat Cannons and Furlong Machines, which fired scattered bullets, fired hundreds of small iron bullets in one shot, covering the past in a fan shape, allowing the Zheng family to make up for their lack of musket performance.

Boom Boom!

The loading speed of the artillery on both sides was not much different, and the artillery on the side of the 'Zheng San' had just finished bombardment, and the 'Sea Pioneers' side immediately followed.

The hulls of the two warships facing each other were constantly subjected to artillery bombardment, and there was extensive damage.

The shells that slammed into the hulls of the warships of both sides destroyed the structure of their cabins, and once a powerful cannonball smashed through their hulls, they broke a large hole under the cabin.

Then, when the time comes, the turbulent sea water below will pour in, and at that time, it will be the conscription when a warship is about to sink.

But obviously, whether it was the Zheng family or the red-haired ghosts, they were full of this in mind when designing their warships.

The planks under the bilges of their warships are the thickest and strongest, and they are even covered with a layer of iron sheet, which is very resistant to pressure.

The shells fired by ordinary small-caliber guns will be greatly reduced when they shatter the hull of the ship, and even if they finally fall under the bilge, it will not be enough to smash holes under their cabin.

For such a large warship, the most threatening thing is the large-caliber artillery that they are equipped with on their warship.

For example, Bruce's 'Sea Trailblazer' is equipped with three guns, which are comparable to the 64-pounder cannons on the White Dragon Army's new three-masted gunboat.

Although there are also several large guns installed on the Zheng family's three-masted naval guns, they are far inferior to the sixty-four-pounder guns on the red-haired ghost's side.

The Zheng family's artillery casting level was much worse than that of Jiangbei, and Li Zixiao ordered that artillery above 32 pounds should not be sold.

Like a sixty-four-pound cannon, the Zheng family can't buy it from Jiangbei, and if they can buy it, their three-masted gunboat can also install one.

Bang!

At this time, the two sixty-four-pounder guns on the 'Sea Pioneer' finally let out a roar, but their loading was too troublesome, and the firing speed was much slower than that of ordinary guns.

The other 64-pounder gun, because it was on the other side of the battleship, could not hit the 'Zheng San'.

Only the two sixty-four-pounder guns in the bow and right compartment could bombard the 'Zheng San' at this time.

Peng! Peng!

With two muffled sounds, two iron cannonballs as big as a football slammed directly into the hull of the 'Zheng San', breaking through the wooden hull of the warship like an unstoppable one.

The huge impact force even caused the hull of the 'Zheng San' to shake violently, and the power of these two shells was immediately revealed.

One of the shells, because it bombarded one of the guns of the 'Zheng San', directly deformed the gun, but indirectly offset the impact of this shell.

However, another cannonball carried a huge impact force, shattering several layers of partitions of the 'Zheng San' warship in a row, and finally smashed a hole in the bottom of the Zhengjia warship.

Suddenly, the turbulent sea water poured into the hull of the 'Zheng San'.

"It's in the water, it's in the bottom of the boat, hurry up and waterproof!"

Soon, under the cabin of the 'Zheng San' warship, the shouts of the Zheng family's sailors sounded.

Fortunately, the sailors of the Zheng Jiajun are all well-trained, and they have long been trained in this solution to water inflow into the ship.

The underside of these warships is divided into layers and separated from each other, so that the sailors can quickly block the water after the hull enters the water.

However, even if the sailors of the Zheng family were well-trained one by one, it took a moment of effort to really let them plug the hole.

However, a large amount of seawater still poured into the hull of the 'Zheng San', and even caused their hull to deviate sideways.

"General Shi, our hull is flooded, fortunately it has just been blocked, but it can't go on like this, the enemy's two large-caliber guns are too much of a threat to our warship."

At this time, a general of the Zheng family hurriedly ran to Shi Daxuan and reported the situation of the hull to him.

Just when the hull of the ship deviated slightly, Shi Daxuan knew with their rich experience that the hull of the ship was in the water.

Now, Shi Daxuan also breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing that the water inlet hole was blocked.

However, the words of this Zheng family general also made Shi Daxuan very much agree, the two large-caliber guns on the red-haired ghost 'Sea Pioneer' were too threatening to their warship.

They had to make a tactical change, otherwise their ship would be even more dangerous when the next round of these two large-caliber guns fired.

And if the cannonballs fired by this large-caliber artillery break the keel of their warship, then their warship will not only lose its combat effectiveness, but will even disintegrate soon.

"I thought that our warship would not be too weak to the giant ship of the red-haired ghost, but now it seems that I was still wrong, and we lost in firepower."

At this time, Shi Daxuan's eyes also showed a helpless look, and he said in his heart.

"Left full rudder!"

Suddenly, a look of madness flashed in Shi Daxuan's eyes, and he commanded loudly to the helmsman in front of him.

The helmsman was also obviously stunned, at this time, let the warship rudder on the left, wouldn't it crash into the red-haired ghost in front of him!

So, the helmsman turned his head and looked at Shi Daxuan, thinking that he had given the wrong order!

"Look at what Lao Tzu is doing, carry out the order, the left rudder is full, and Lao Tzu will crash into the red-haired ghost's warship!"

Shi Daxuan yelled at the helmsman who turned his face and looked at him.

"Yes. Left full rudder! ”

The helmsman was yelled at by Shi Daxuan, turned around abruptly, and carried out the order.

At the same time, Shi Daxuan also looked at the Zheng family general next to him and said, "Lin Miao, let the 'Iron Man' team prepare to attack, I didn't expect to send them on the field." ”

The so-called Iron Man is the special forces of the Zheng Jiajun, which is not only well-trained and heroic, but also well-equipped, and will always be used in key battlefields.

Moreover, at this time, the entire iron man team of the Zheng family was only about 3,000 people.

Shi Daxuan's ship, at this time, there was only a 100-person ironman team, Shi Daxuan after seeing the ferocious firepower of the red-haired ghost's 'Sea Pioneer'.

knew that if the two sides continued to bombard each other like this, their 'Zheng San' would be invincible, and they could only find another way.

Creak!

As the helmsman on the 'Zheng San' filled the rudder to the left, the whole ship quickly turned to the left, and the wooden planks of the hull made a twisting sound.

Because at this time, the 'Zheng San' and the 'Sea Pioneer' were only about ten meters apart, and the 'Zheng San' suddenly turned left and crashed into the 'Sea Pioneer'.

At this time, the red-haired ghost's 'sea pioneer' wanted to avoid it, and the turn of this kind of big ship was relatively slow.

"Fire, don't let them come over!" An officer on the red-haired ghost's side also roared wildly.

Obviously, the other side also sensed the intention of the 'Zheng San', and the artillery and musketeers continued to shoot wildly, but it was still impossible to prevent the collision of the two ships.

Peng!

Moments later, the port side of the 'Zheng San' still collided with the 'Sea Pioneer', and the ships on both sides shook violently, and the musketeers on the deck shook for a while.

Bang bang bang!

Just after the collision of the two ships, a lot of sailors came out of the deck of 'Zheng San', carrying planks, and the front ends of the planks they carried were all with hooks.

They were very skillful at hooking hooks to the side of the 'Sea Pioneers', so that the ships of both sides were connected to each other.

This is the most common tactic used by the Zheng family when dealing with pirates in the past, engaging in broadside battles.

At the same time, the first Zheng sailors had already fallen onto the deck of the 'Sea Pioneers' by jumping into the gang, and they were all dead soldiers who carried out death attacks.

At this time, the entire deck of the 'Sea Pioneers' was full of red-haired ghost musketeers, and these Zheng family sailors jumped over to help them, and they were bound to die.

Therefore, the bodies of these dead soldiers of the Zheng family were all wrapped with iron-shelled thunder and ignited in advance.

As a result, even if they are killed by the Red-Haired Devil's musketeers the moment they land on the deck of the 'Sea Pioneers', their iron-clad mines will still explode, killing the Red-Haired Devil's musketeers.

Boom Boom!

"Ahhh

More than 20 dead soldiers of the Zheng family successfully jumped onto the deck of the 'Sea Pioneers', and the hundreds of iron-clad mines they carried also successfully exploded, killing and injuring many red-haired ghost musketeers.

Even, the sudden attack of this wave of Zheng family dead soldiers, the explosion of the iron-shelled mine, made the red-haired ghost musketeers on the deck fall into a short period of chaos.

And this gave Shi Daxuan the real hole card, that is, the 100-man Iron Man team, to win the opportunity to attack.

"Kill!"

Just a moment when the red-haired musketeers were in confusion and their shooting was interrupted.

The 100 Iron Man Squadron, which had already been ordered by Shi Daxuan, immediately roared angrily, stepped over the wooden plank that connected the two arrows, and rushed to the deck of the 'Sea Pioneers'.

This kind of hand-to-side battle is what the Zheng family's naval army is best at in naval battles, after all, in the past ten years, they have swept all their maritime opponents in this way.

On the other hand, on the side of the red-haired ghosts, at this time, with the continuous development of Western artillery and sailboats, their naval combat style has become a test of artillery and warships.

Last year, when the Zheng family fleet wiped out the original fleet of the red-haired ghost Anping Port, it used this method of play, and directly defeated the red-haired ghost and won the victory.

This is also why, this time, Bruce got it from Paul, and after going to the Zheng family's style of hand-to-side fighting, he was reluctant to fight a decisive battle with the Zheng family's fleet.

Instead, guerrilla warfare was used, and the Zheng fleet was distanced and the Zheng fleet was suppressed with the superiority of artillery.

After all, the Zheng family fleet has a large number of ships on this side, even if the red-haired ghost fleet has strong firepower.

If a decisive battle breaks out between the two sides in a sea area, it is impossible for the red-haired ghost's ships to block them all, and the Zheng family's warships are approaching.

That is, this time, when Bruce saw Shi Daxuan's side, there were only more than fifty warships, and they couldn't avoid it, so he decided to eat the other party and then evacuate.

And Shi Daxuan this time, he saw the firepower of the 'Sea Pioneer' with the red-haired ghost, and they were still defeated, so they could only forcibly use the broadside battle.

I have to say that Shi Daxuan's timing is just right.

He commanded the 'Zheng San', and the red-haired ghost's 'Sea Trailblazer' had been bombarded for so long that he had already misled Bruce.

made Bruce think that Shi Daxuan was going to fight with them, and he forgot to guard for a while, and the Zheng family's engagement was over.

"Kill!"

One hundred Iron Man soldiers, after rushing onto the deck of the 'Sea Pioneers', immediately split into three groups and struck at the red-haired ghost musketeers on the deck.

Boom Boom!

The battle on the decks of the two warships did not affect the battle of the gunners under the cabins of the two warships, and the gunners of both sides were still loading shells and desperately bombarding each other's ships.

At this time, the battle between the 'Zheng San' and the 'Sea Pioneer' was at a fever pitch.

At the same time, the battle between the other Zheng family warships and the red-haired ghost battleships around them also reached the most tragic stage, but it was the red-haired ghost side that had the advantage.
