Zheng Zhibao stood on the bow of a troop carrier, bitter in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis kind of hand-to-hand combat is usually waged only when the gunboat is covered and the fireship is disrupting the enemy's position, so as to give full play to the numerical advantage in hand-to-hand combat. However, in today's hasty response, there is a bit of a disconnect in the coordination of several tactics, and the firepower of the Qiongzhou battalion is too fierce, and the Zheng family, which has few opponents across the sea, is fighting at home and is actually at a full disadvantage! The last fight at this moment was dyed with a layer of tragic color, more like to maintain the last face of the Zheng family.

Zheng Zhibao looked back at the increasingly blurred figure of the big brother on the tall three-masted battleship, sighed, and then looked ahead. By this time, the attack of gunboats and fireships had died down, and there were only shipwrecks and thick smoke on the sea, and countless corpses floating on the water. The Qiongzhou battalion had already set up a posture and was ready for battle, as if they were not at all afraid of the ant-like crowd climbing onto their battleship.

One of the leaders who followed Zheng Zhibao in the battle trembled slightly, and his teeth rattled.

Zheng Zhibao asked softly: "What, scared?" ”

The leader turned his head and squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying at Zheng Zhibao: "...... Third master, I, Zhao Si, have followed the big dragon head for so many years, coming and going in the wind and rain, and I don't blink when I use a knife to cut people's eyes...... But today's battle is too evil, this Qiongzhou battalion is ten times more fierce than the red hair, this cannon is like rain, my brother just followed the gunboat over, now I'm afraid it's more than auspicious......"

Zheng Zhibao sighed: "Yes, without the cover of gunboats and fireboats, no matter how brave our brothers are, they are flesh and blood after all, how can we resist the cannons of the Qiongzhou battalion?" ”

The leader named Zhao Si asked in a low voice, "Third Master, will we die under the cannon?" Why don't we turn around and go back and talk to the big dragon head, and avoid its edge first? Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! ”

"Flee from the battle, the big dragon head must have cut off your head first." Zheng Zhibao said calmly, "Instead of dying under your own knife, it is better to fight with the Qiongzhou battalion!" ”

Zhao Si's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and inserted the knife in his hand into the wooden board, and said loudly: "Fight with them, so that I can earn some money for my wife and children!" ”

The dense troop carriers rushed towards the Qiongzhou battalion fleet that was waiting for them with indomitable tragedy, and what was waiting for them in front was the dark muzzle.

On the "Guangdong", William put down the monoculars and said to Xia Nan: "General, they launched the final charge, this is Zheng Yiguan's last tactic, destroy this enemy, you can directly attack Zheng Yiguan's direct fleet." ”

Xia Nan nodded: "Clear the obstacles in the shortest time, and then attack Zheng Zhilong with all your strength, focusing on his ship." Zheng Zhilong must die today, live to see people, and die to see corpses! ”

"Understood." William turned around and gave the order, "All ships are free to fire until there is no enemy capable of standing in sight!" ”

The heralds waved their flags desperately, conveying orders to the warships one by one.

On the "Lingao", Lin Chuanzong, the captain of the ship who was transferred from the "Danzhou", excitedly rubbed his hands and said to Liu Yishou on the side: "It seems that I am going to have a good time with the cannon today, and I am happy to think about it." ”

Liu Yishou nicknamed "leave a hand", and Lin Chuanzong are all Zhu Cailao's subordinates, after being captured, he joined the Qiongzhou battalion, on the "Danzhou" is Lin Chuanzong's first mate, who could have been promoted to the captain of the Wuxiang-class patrol ship according to his military exploits, but during the sneak attack on Zuo Harbor, his left arm was broken by a cannonball, and he left sequelae after being cured.

After listening to Lin Chuanzong's words, Liu Yishou nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "Monkey, fuck it, avenge Lao Tzu's broken arm!" They have a deep brotherly relationship, and they still call each other by nicknames, and Lin Chuanzong's nickname is "Sea Monkey".

At this time, with a "boom", the first shot was fired on the flagship "Guangdong", which was the signal for the attack.

Lin Chuanzong said loudly: "Brother, let's shoot hard and avenge you!" Pass my order, the long and short cannons on the left side are fired, two rounds of solid shells, the enemy is close to within two hundred paces, and the short and heavy cannons are replaced with grapeshot shells! ”

In the midst of the artillery fire in the sky, the Zheng family's fleet was struggling to advance. After seeing the power of the opponent's volley, although Zheng Zhibao did not understand the reputation of this T-shaped tactic, the battlefield instinct to avoid danger made him choose a similar charging method to Daqingtou, giving up the formation of groups and scattering in all directions to reduce the chance of being shot. In the seemingly scattered formation, there was actually a hidden mystery, and more than a dozen troop carriers on the left and right quietly moved outward, trying to bypass the opponent's long serpentine formation and detour to the back to flank the attack.

William, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield, keenly detected the other party's intentions, and he snorted disdainfully, for a battleship with the same firepower configuration on both sides, such a small action was not very practical, unless they could get close to the side, use the dead angle of the ship's guns as a cover, and launch a boarding attack from both sides at the same time, so that the sailors on the battleship would take care of one or the other. But under such a firepower attack, can the Zheng family's ship get closer?

The troop carriers, which were not equipped with cannons, had no power to fight back in the face of continuous artillery fire, and could only rely on numerical superiority to advance head-on. From time to time, the dense crowd on deck was hit by shells, and a large number of people died; The ship on its back suffered several heavy cannons, and after being damaged, it lost its ability to move forward, and spun in place, slowly tilting sideways as the sea water poured in, and in order to save their lives, people threw down their swords and jumped into the sea to swim back desperately, so as not to be dragged into the water by the whirlpool of the sunken ship.

Xia Nan looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but think of the scene in the movie where the late Qing prince monk Greenqin led the Mongolian cavalry to attack the position of the British and French forces. The Battle of Bali Bridge was one of the few heroic battles of the Qing army in the Second Opium War. In the face of the attack of hundreds of powerful Conglev rockets from the British, the cavalry of the Qing army had no other way but to carry it with flesh and blood, how similar is it to the current suicidal charge of the Zheng family in the face of powerful firepower? No matter when, science and technology are the ladder of human progress, and holding on to the defects can only be eliminated by the times.

Thanks to the excellent materials and scientific casting methods, from the beginning of the war to the present, the average number of shells fired by the naval guns of the Qiongzhou battalion has exceeded 30, and the maximum has reached more than 50, but none of the guns have exploded. Faced with an opponent who outnumbered ten times their own, the Qiongzhou battalion fleet used pure artillery tactics to tell the Zheng family that artillery warfare was the king.
