Chapter 314: Courage
The two armed merchant ships that had already approached the second ship of the Sea Shark class had hooked themselves tightly to the side of the second ship with their hooks, and sailors of all races continued to jump or fly on the second ship with cables. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although, the sailors and officers on the second ship looked a little cowardly in the shelling at close range.
However, as a soldier of the Xuan Army, the most basic recruit training is something that everyone has to complete.
When these naval soldiers and officers saw that the enemy had actually climbed onto their ship, they immediately took up arms and fought hard.
In an instant, the battle was white-hot, from bow to stern, everywhere was full of fierce fighting.
"Everybody go to the weapons room and get their weapons."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, everyone will collect their weapons and assemble according to their own formation."
"Private over there, don't cut in line."
"If you have a good performance in rifle shooting training, hurry up and occupy the commanding heights."
"If you get the armor, take your saber and block the hatch."
"Attention officers and non-commissioned officers encountered, anyone who does not obey orders can be summarily executed."
The originally panicked personnel were slowly organized together, relying on the inertia formed by long-term training and good weapons and equipment to slowly stabilize the battle line.
"Hell, hell."
"Help, I don't want to go to hell."
Looking at those ghost-looking enemies, a few recruits turned around and fled.
An officer with a saber in his hand blocked them and shouted "Stop. ”
"Help." However, several recruits had no intention of stopping, and kept shouting and fleeing.
However, one of the fastest runners soon became an officer's sword.
The officer held a blood-dripping saber and said angrily, "Whoever dares to escape, the military law will deal with it, and immediately return to his post." ”
The recruits were reminded of the authority of the officer, and involuntarily stopped and shouted.
The officer grabbed a recruit and retreated to the non-commissioned officer on the side, and he was in your hands.
In this way, he divided all the escaped recruits into different teams, and when order was restored in the cabin, the officer shouted "Follow me." ”
With that, the officer rushed to the front with a pistol and a saber.
After coming outside, the officers wondered why some recruits would shout "hell", because the enemy's appearance was so weird.
However, all the officers of the Xuan Army came out of the lecture hall, and as an officer of the Navy Section, he knew that the red-haired ghost in front of him was also a human, but he came from other places.
A single shot shattered an enemy soldier's chest, and then the right hand saber swung sharply, splitting the neck of an enemy.
Looking at those who looked like red-haired ghosts, as well as some brown skin, black skin, and a lot of high-nosed and deep-eyed, all kinds of extremely scary-looking enemy soldiers, constantly falling under muskets and sabers, bleeding crimson blood, everyone's nervousness slowly stabilized.
Non-commissioned officers with sabers in their hands and wearing two-year-old body armor formed a front row, blocking the door to the cabin, and from time to time a barrel or two sticks out from the back and opened fire on the rushing enemy.
The battle line of the Xuan army, slowly pushing out from the hatch, relying on the buildings on several decks, began to fight with the enemy for control of their ships.
Several commanders of Peter's fleet, when they saw that the sailors of their two ships were all blocked outside the cabin of the enemy ship, were furious, and on the periphery, the nasty Xuan Army Clipper was still hunting their own ships. There's no time to grind right now.
So, while narrowing the encirclement again, they wanted to rely on the ships that had been reduced to nearly half to deter the Xuan Army Clippers on the periphery.
On the other hand, two more ships were immediately dispatched to support the gang jumpers who were caught in a tug-of-war ahead.
Outside the encirclement, the enemy was constantly bombarded with artillery, and it was found that when the number of enemy ships was reduced by nearly half, the formation of the array became more and more compact.
Under this kind of tight array, he can no longer rely on the way he played just now to force a surprise attack.
Just now he was facing only one armed merchant ship, only a dozen guns of various sizes, and his own ships were able to quickly approach under the enemy's fire, and then crush the enemy.
But now, if you attack the enemy's encirclement again, no matter what angle you attack, you will be bombarded by three enemy ships at the same time, and there are also two professional warships, and the huge cannons on them can cause great damage to your own side.
However, if the comrades-in-arms are in trouble, how can they not go to the rescue.
If you win, you will raise a glass and drink together, and if you lose, you will fight to save each other, but you are not just talking.
Kanshu slowly cruised around the perimeter, and after observing a certain direction, Kanshu began to give the order: "Distribute the artillery evenly on both sides of the ship." ”
Although they didn't understand, the soldiers on the gun deck immediately began to get busy.
When everything was ready, Kanshu immediately steered the ship, and under the bewildered gaze of everyone, he rushed straight towards the enemy's array.
When the Sea Shark-class No. 1 ship was hard against the enemy's artillery and quickly approached not far in front of the enemy ship, it shouted the order "Lower the full sail." ”
Then, purely by the power of the steam engine, it was inserted precisely between the bows of the two armed merchant ships.
"Lower the back anchor."
"Disconnect the drivetrain."
As Kan Shu's command came out, which was almost about to burst his throat, the corresponding crew members subconsciously completed a series of actions.
Then the ship stopped not far between the bow and stern of the two armed merchant ships.
"Fire." This time, Kan Shu was completely broken.
However, this did not affect the execution of the order in any way.
A loud roar pierced through, one after the other, and the crew fired shells at the fastest rate of fire.
When everyone subconsciously completed all the actions and looked out of the ship, everyone realized that the captain had actually driven the ship between the two enemy ships.
But everyone did not have the slightest timidity before, and all the sailors were shocked when they looked at the two armed merchant ships facing them with their bows and sterns on both sides.
The captain is really a master of art and boldness.
This distance, this angle, is really amazing.
Now the No. 1 ship was in the middle of the two armed merchant ships, but it did not really get in, but was about 10 meters away from the enemy's route, just enough for the enemy to pass through, but if it wanted to pass, it had to pass under the guns of its own ships.
Sighing, the gunners did not slow down the slightest movement, and quickly bombarded the enemy ship target at close range.
This is simply firing at the door of the enemy's head, not the previous analogy, but really hitting the enemy's head.
The gunners' hands trembled with excitement, and a heroic spirit continued to rise in their hearts, we are now putting bayonets on the cannons.
