Chapter 452: The Battle of Liaoluo Bay (6)
The bitter battle of the broadside has finally begun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 InfoOn one side are tall Dutch soldiers, and on the other are intrepid pirates, each with its own strengths. After the Dutch soldiers smashed and kicked with the butts of their rifles, knocking one over, two or three pirates rushed up again, and the soldiers were forced to throw away their arquebuses, take out their spun wounds or daggers for self-defense, and pounce on them, and fight with them.
Such a scene unfolded on all the Dutch warships, and from a distance, the red-haired soldiers on the deck seemed to be overwhelmed by the shirtless pirates, and were in danger of being devoured at any moment.
Putmans watched all this from the flagship in the rear, his face was terrifyingly blue.
Zheng Yiguan had too many people, so many that it made people's hearts palpitate, and after his battleship lost its advantage in firepower, he couldn't think of a better way to deal with the current situation. When Van Bommel came to report that the "Slotdieć" had been captured by Zheng Yiguan's men and that more than 100 people on board had been taken prisoner, he could do nothing but be annoyed.
Just when the chief administrator of the Dutch East India Company was about to despair, "boom, boom, boom" and cannon sounded, and a large number of sailing ships appeared in the rear of Zheng Zhihu's fleet, broke through the fire interception of the gunboats, and entered the battlefield -- Liu Xiang got rid of the entanglement on the periphery and rushed to reinforcements.
"God, we haven't been abandoned by fate." When Putmans saw the big banner of "Liu" on the bow of the reinforcements, his heart was relieved. Although he had a kind of contempt for Liu Xiang before, thinking that he was nothing more than a pawn used by the East India Company to deal with Zheng Yiguan, but at this moment he felt that this pirate leader was so cute that if he appeared in front of him, he would not hesitate to send a warm hug.
After Liu Xiang joined the battlefield, the situation suddenly changed, and Zheng Zhihu fell into a situation where he was attacked by the enemy. Liu Xiang's men were not Dutch soldiers who could only handle firearms, but like the Zheng family's sailors, they were all murderous pirates for many years, they landed on the Zheng family's lucky boat, howled and jumped on the bow of the ship, and fought with Zheng Zhihu's men. The pirates waiting to climb the Dutch battleship had to turn their heads to deal with Liu Xiang, and the pressure on the Dutch was greatly reduced, and the enemy on the deck was gradually expelled.
Zheng Hongkui on the big green head gunboat was stunned and looked at everything in front of him, in a dilemma. Although he discovered Liu Xiang's attempt to approach and stopped them, in the face of the impact of the other party's casualties, the hasty artillery bombardment could not keep them out of the battlefield. The current situation has changed from Zheng Zhihu's dominance to being attacked on his back and abdomen, what should he do?
Someone suggested: "Fourth master, let's shoot Liu Xiang, right?" ”
With a "snap", Zheng Hongkui slapped this person hard with enough strength, and he roared: "The second master is also over there, do you want to blow him up together?" ”
The man was fanned to the ground and muttered, "...... But sit back and ignore it, watching the second master fall into trouble, the big dragon head can't spare us? ”
Zheng Hongkui slapped the "pop" again: "Who said that we don't care about the second master?" Hurry up and inform the big dragon head and ask him to send reinforcements, saying that Hongmao and Liu Xiang are going to fight the trapped beasts, and the second master is in danger. The others followed me, relying on the white-knuckle battle in the past, and reinforcing the second master at any cost! ”
After the messenger left, Zheng Hongkui commanded all the big green heads to move closer to the melee fleet. Although he said that he wanted to fight in the white and at any cost, Zheng Hongkui knew that the main force of the jumping gang was on the second brother's side, and most of the gunners above the big green head were gunners - the second-line personnel who were eliminated because they were not competent for high-intensity white-knuckle combat. Before getting the short and heavy artillery of the Qiongzhou battalion, the gunners of the Zheng family had always been marginalized figures - and the number was not too large, it was okay to shout and cheer in the white-knuckle battle, but I was afraid that I couldn't turn the tide. All you can do is do your best.
Zheng Zhihu, who was wearing heavy armor, was preparing to fight to the death with the red hair, but he didn't expect the old rival Liu Xiang to also come to join in the fun, disrupting his plan to climb the red-haired flagship to capture the enemy chieftain. That's it, I wanted to keep your dog's head for half a day, but since you are so anxious to find death, the second master of the python will fulfill you. Brothers, don't care about the red hair first, and then kill Liu Xiang. ”
When the enemies saw each other, they were very red-eyed. The Zheng family and Liu Xiang have been fighting for several years, and Zheng Zhihu, who is the vanguard of the Zheng family, has fought against Liu Xiang a lot, and at this moment they met in the battle of life and death, without any mobilization, and the hatred value was instantly full, and they started a fight with a scream.
Zheng Zhihu standing at the bow of the boat in iron armor was particularly eye-catching, and Liu Xiang saw it from afar. He saw that this old opponent was wearing heavy armor, and knew that this python was going to be an arrow in a white-knuckle battle, and he must be the first to rush to the front, and his heart moved, and he called a few henchmen and explained in a low voice.
The Zheng family's fortune ship boarded the Dutch warship with the help of flying claws, but in the face of Liu Xiang, who was close to the tonnage of the ship and even the size of the ship, it was like walking on the ground. The routines of both sides are basically the same, they are also very familiar with each other, there is no showmanship, they directly set up a springboard, and they charged each other with each other.
Zheng Zhihu, under the protection of several personal soldiers, came to one of Liu Xiang's boats through the gangplank, wielding a ghost-headed knife and slashing and killing. Although he is not very tall, he is muscular, his arm strength is very large, and the weight of the knife is heavy. Seeing that he was brave and invincible, the opponent spontaneously rushed up to besiege, and the swords beckoned to him, but unfortunately they were all blocked by the thick iron armor, except for leaving white marks on the surface of the armor, which could not hurt him in the slightest.
Under his leadership, the sailors of the Zheng family became more and more courageous, bulldozing one enemy ship after another, until they reached Liu Xiang's ship.
Zheng Zhihu's iron armor and face were stained with blood, most of which were opponents', looked extremely hideous, and he laughed wildly and shouted at Liu Xiang: "Ghost of the dead man, the second master has come to take your dog's life, obediently suffer death!" ”
Liu Xiang stood at the bow of the boat with a gloomy face, and replied coldly: "Grandpa is here, if you are brave enough, come over and compete." Today is either you die or I die, it depends on whether Lord Yama accepts you first or me first. ”
Zheng Zhihu was in full swing, feeling that he was full of energy, and anyone who stood in front of him was vulnerable, listening to Liu Xiang's provocative words, he jumped on the gangplank with a cruel smile, rushed towards Liu Xiang's boat, and threw his subordinates behind him away, only a few personal soldiers followed closely.
