Chapter 959: You Have a Good Plan, I Have a Wall Ladder

Li Jicheng was shocked and now that Zheng Chenggong was hiding behind the back, "to prepare a fireship for the Tiger Ben Army Navy." Judging by the blazing fire, this guy should have used a battleship as a merchant ship. "This guy is really ruthless, and he is willing to use all armed merchant ships as fireships." Transforming an armed merchant ship into a fire ship "is also a loss to Zheng Chenggong to think of!" Is this a broken jar?

In the past, the Tiger Ben Navy was indeed a rare enemy warship, and if it was captured, it was indeed quite cost-effective. Through battles, "constantly capturing the enemy's warships, weakening the enemy's strength at the same time, strengthening your own strength, killing two birds with one stone, why not?" Therefore, in the past, the Huben Navy, very careful to take the enemy's warships for themselves.

If Zheng Chenggong had ruined the battleship like this in the past, Li Jicheng would have been heartbroken. The battleships were all burned down, and the Tiger Ben Navy was not captured. The war of annihilation is a tug-of-war, and it is no longer interesting. But now, seeing Zheng Chenggong's suicidal behavior, Li Jicheng doesn't feel anything. Even if Zheng Chenggong burned a three-masted gunboat, Li Jicheng didn't feel any heartache. Anyway, "The warships of the Zheng family's fleet are no longer suitable for the needs of the Tiger Army."

With the launch of a large number of new warships, the number of warships of the Tiger Ben Navy is increasing, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the dependence on capture is getting lower and lower. To this day, basically, the warships obtained through combat can no longer improve the strength of the Tiger Navy.

There is a big difference between the warships owned by the Zheng family fleet and the warships of the Tiger Ben Army "in terms of design concept", and the two cannot be well integrated, which is the fundamental reason why the Tiger Ben Navy no longer attaches importance to capture. To put it simply, the enemy's warships "are of little use after they are captured."

Every battleship in the Tiger Army Navy is a pure combat ship, and I can't wait to put every point on the Wuxi that can make the enemy deadly Many people say that every battleship of the Tiger Army is a hedgehog. Whenever possible, "add a sharp thorn." On the contrary, Zheng Zhilong's warships were used for both business and war, and only when they met the needs of commercial trade did they consider adding a certain amount of armament. There is a fundamental difference between merchant ships and combat ships, and it is natural to sacrifice a lot of xing energy to fuse the two together.

The displacement of the saber ship and the general armed merchant ship is basically the same, but if the two go head-to-head, the armed merchant ship is not the opponent of the saber ship at all. Professional and non-professional, after all, there is a big difference.

In the design of the battleship itself, "the difference between the two is greater." The warships of the Tiger Navy, emphasizing the role of artillery, cannon is the first main battle weapon, the others are auxiliary, as long as the cannon can be installed, the cannon must be installed. Broadside battles, fire attacks, angle ramming, and the like" are basically no longer considered.

And Zheng Zhilong's battleship has taken too much into account, and the broadside battle, fire attack, and collision angle must be taken into account. Like a three-masted gunboat, the installation of artillery "is nondescript." Once you encounter a professional battleship, such as a dragon god ship, it is a bit blind.

About half an hour later, ten large fireships "went down the river slowly, very slowly." These armed merchant ships, all of which had their masts and sails removed, were not manned on them, and were propelled entirely by currents. Even with the flow of the Yangtze River, it is not easy to push such a behemoth. Such a behemoth, wrapped in the light of a raging fire, illuminated the entire battlefield. The entire surface of the river is reflected in the blazing firelight. The swimming fish in the water "have long been far away. Even, at a distance of three or four hundred meters, "you can feel the heat of the fire 1ng." When the wind blows, "the flames continue to rise, sometimes even more than ten meters high, which is breathtaking" and at the same time, I feel palpitations.

In Nanjing City, Liu Zongzhou and others were a little stunned. The Zheng family fleet actually came up with such a solution, and some people were really stunned. And what made them feel even more bitter was that "the Tiger Ben Army Navy is really strong, and the Zheng family fleet has used self-harm tricks." If this edict of self-harm does not work, the Zheng family fleet is afraid that it will be completely finished. I wonder what kind of way the Tiger Army Navy will deal with these large fireships? If you can't stop the attack of these large fireships, I'm afraid that the losses of the Tiger Ben Army Navy will be quite heavy. Once the Zheng family's fleet is victorious, the Tiger Ben army may have to spend a little more effort to control Jiangnan.

On the side of the Tiger Ben Army, the artillery bombardment did weaken for a while, and the officers and soldiers were attracted by Zheng Chenggong's crazy actions. Lighting ten armed merchant ships and using them as fireships is such a big deal that only Zheng Chenggong can do. And the ten large burning fireships "slowly went down the river, the firelight illuminated the whole day, and the front of the river was reflected red, such a scene is indeed unforgettable."

"Commander Oyster"

A staff officer asked in a low voice.

This is waiting for Li Jicheng's order.

"Let the Cangshan boat prepare to blow up the Y bags and find a way to blow them up."

Li Jicheng said in a low tone.

Seeing these large fireships prepared by the Zheng family's fleet, Li Jicheng thought of a way to deal with them. It is unlikely that these large fireships will be pulled by Cangshan boats. Li Jicheng estimated that Zheng Chenggong would not easily let these large fireships be pulled. Since you can't pull it, let's blow it up. No matter how fierce the fire is, it can't stop the surging water of the Yangtze River.

Being able to overwhelm many others and serve as the commander of the First Fleet of the Tiger Ben Navy shows that Li Jicheng has extraordinary ability. His ability to react, as well as his ability to comprehend, as well as his ability to judge the situation, are quite strong. At this moment, Li Jicheng's reaction ability was fully reflected. While the staff officers were still thinking about how to restrain these perverted large fireships, "Li Jicheng has already thought of blowing up the Y bag."

Frying Y is the killer weapon of the Tiger Ben Army, and its shadow has never been indispensable in conquering cities. But in naval battles, it was used less often. However, the fact that it is used less often does not mean that it is not applicable in naval warfare. In fact, in naval battles, fried y-packets can also be used.

There is no more convenient way to completely destroy a ship than to blow up a Y bag. Put the fried bag under the cabin" and detonate, enough to blow up a large dng from the bottom of the ship. The desperate influx of sea water did not take ten minutes to sink an armed merchant ship. Even a large battleship like the Dragon God Ship, with a strengthened bottom, could not stop the explosive power of the ten-pound black se. The relevant flag slogan was quickly delivered. The Cangshan boats, which received the order, "began to prepare to fry the Y packets one after another." Under normal circumstances, there is no ready-made fried Y bag on the top of the Cangshan boat. It doesn't matter, though. Ordinary gunners, during training, have learned how to bundle fried packets, and they can make them on the spot. As for the captains, "the use of fried packets is a compulsory course, and it is not difficult to do it on the spot."

Those burning armed merchant ships, with their large size and "heavy weight" and no one c-longitudinal, went down the river, and the degree was actually very slow. It has been several minutes since it was released, and it was only a few dozen meters away from the Zheng family's own battle line. Well, if you want to come to the side of the Tiger Ben Army, "I'm afraid it's absolutely impossible to have half an hour." In other words, the Tiger Navy has "enough time" to destroy these flaming behemoths.

Before Li Jicheng's order arrived, Hu Xibin even thought about using flying mirrors directly to "hook these armed merchant ships, and then send sailors" to climb along the ropes to the burning fire ship, and then C set fire to the ship. However, the idea was soon abandoned. Because "when the Zheng family fleet released the fireboat", all the masts and sails on it were removed. Even if someone were able to climb up, they wouldn't be able to do it effectively; "Fried Y Pack?"

"Good way!"

When Hu Xibin received the flag, he immediately talked to himself excitedly. Damn, throw the fried bag on the burning fireboat, and the consequences can be imagined. Even if it can't blow up the armed merchant ship directly, it will be enough to blow it up. Ten pounds of fried Y bag "can easily blow up a large dng with a diameter of two meters at the bottom of the boat." As long as there is an influx of seawater, no matter how big the battleship is, "it will be finished quickly."

Soon, Hu Xibin and the others quickly bundled up three fried Y packets. Taking into account the factors of throwing, each is only about ten catties. For a sailor with strong arm strength, a ten-pound fried Y bag "is about the same weight as Feirui, and it is entirely possible to throw a distance of twenty or thirty meters."

Question, how can I throw the Y bag on top of the target fireship? This is indeed a huge problem. The cannon can't blow up the Y pack, and it is even more impossible to send the Y bag by a person. If people go up and "if they can't evacuate in time", they will be sacrificed.

What's worse is that if the fried Y bag can't be accurately delivered to the top of the fire boat, it will fall into the river. The fried Y bun made on the spot does not have the function of waterproofing, and once it is soaked in river water, it will be finished. There are not many fire reserves on the Cangshan ship, and if this is the 1ng method, the fire bucket will soon be empty.

In the end, "Hu Xibin decided" to find a way to throw it directly. From the mast of the Cangshan ship, "I threw the fried bag hard." The mast of the Cangshan ship "is about ten meters high. At such a height, throwing a bomb bag at a passing armed merchant ship can still be guaranteed.

Specifically, it is to put the Cangshan boat close to the burning fire boat, find a place that has not yet burned, and throw the bomb bag over, and then quickly drive the Cangshan boat away, which can effectively avoid your own casualties. Of course, this is not an absolute guarantee. Everything depends on luck.

If the bomb pack exploded immediately, the Cangshan ship might be impacted, and it might even be overturned directly. The Cangshan ship, which had a displacement of only about 70 tons, was indeed very helpless in the violent explosion, "unable to resist at all." Moreover, the explosion of "flying wood chips and debris" at close range by armed merchant ships may cause serious injuries to the personnel on the Cangshan ship. However, this kind of injury is something that Hu Xibin can bear. As long as you can take out these burning armed merchant ships, no matter how big the price is, it will be worth it. Even if it's to exchange a Cangshan ship for an armed merchant ship. Compared with the Dragon God Ship and the Sword Tooth Ship, "The sailors of the Cangshan Ship must have such a sacrifice Jing God."

"That's it!"

Hu Xibin's clapper.

The one in charge of throwing the fried Y bag is, of course, Popeye. The popeye beside Hu Xibin is called Peseta, a foreign race from the Western Regions. During the strong period, the Ming Kingdom was "like the Tang Dynasty", and the four directions came to congratulate and the eight directions came to the court, and there were many foreign ethnic minorities.

Many of them "multiplied in the Central Plains and gave birth to many descendants." Peseta is one of them. However, "because of the age, Bicetta himself does not know which tribe he is." Hu Xibin didn't know either. It doesn't matter, though, "as long as Peseta is willing to do things for the Tiger Army."

"Slow Honor!"

"Left!"

"Forward!"

Hu Xibin commanded the Cangshan ship, and gradually approached a burning armed merchant ship. The fire on this armed merchant ship burned extremely violently, and bursts of flames kept rising upward. At the end of the flames, Hu Xibin could even see some obvious green se. It is said that the furnace is perfect, and the temperature of these flames "can be imagined."

From time to time, there is some wind on the river, and there is no direction to blow everywhere. The wind fueled the fire, and sometimes the flames even escaped more than ten meters away from the ship. If people are in this range, they will definitely be scorched. The crackling sound of the fireboat "also made those who approached nervous." If this armed merchant ship suddenly bursts, Hu Xibin and the people around him will all be finished.

In fact, when the distance between the two sides was about thirty or forty meters, Hu Xibin and them were a little unable to withstand the attack of the hot 1ng. Bursts of heat 1ng "scorched their bodies fiercely" as if they were about to roast their bodies. They kept scooping water from the surface of the river, pouring it down from head to toe, and soaking all the clothes on their bodies to keep the heat out of the erosion. However, "the scooped up river water seems to be hot, and it has no cooling effect at all." It was in such a hot 1ng that Hu Xibin and others gritted their teeth and persevered. In the end, the Cangshan ship successfully approached the burning armed merchant ship, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to about 20 meters. Twenty meters away, on the surface of the river, is indeed too close. The average sailor, a fierce man can swim a distance of twenty meters. In such a situation, not to mention the wind, even a 1ng head coming over "may push the Cangshan ship onto the burning armed merchant ship."

At this time, if the Cangshan ship is careless, the mast will tilt, and the flames will burn to the sails. As we all know, in order to resist the invasion of water vapor, the sails are smeared with a lot of tung oil, and once a fire breaks out, the sails will definitely burn violently. Without sails, Hu Xibin's Cangshan ship is about to lose control.

Faced with such a situation, Hu Xibin, as the captain, was indeed a little nervous.

This kind of thing is no different from looking for death. Hu Xibin could even feel that his head began to curl up because of the high temperature. In the air, the smell of burnt m, which made people feel very disgusting.

Standing on top of the mast, the peseta was also a little nervous. His position is Popeye, not a high-altitude sailor. His usual training is to throw cables or cymbals on the deck, and he has never tried to work at height. Now, standing on the top of a ten-meter-high mast, "It's a bit difficult to throw a bomb packet!"

Musta, taking a deep breath, measuring the distance and direction, then closed his eyes and threw the fried bag out with all his might. Don't look at the size of Biseta, he actually doesn't have much guts" Such a difficult action, he didn't dare to look at the landing point of the fried Y bag. He could only secretly pray to God to make sure that the bomb pack would accurately land on the target fireship.

"Whew!"

The first fried y-pack was thrown.

"Poof!"

The fried pack landed accurately on the burning merchant ship, and accurately landed on the place where it had not yet burned, making a slight sound. Seeing the accurate fall of the fried Y bag, Hu Xibin and the sailors around him all fell a big stone in their hearts.

"Good!"

"Peseta, well done!"

"After repaying the blame, I will reward you with three days of vacation!"

Hu Xibin shouted excitedly.

But his voice stopped abruptly, and his face twisted.

It turned out that "the fried bag that fell on the deck actually bounced, and then got into the raging fire, and disappeared in a blink of an eye."

"Oops!"

"Abandon ship!"

"Dive!"

Hu Xibin was taken aback and hurriedly roared.

He never thought that Peseta would throw the fried Y bag directly into the fire. Idiots can think of "what the consequences will be if the fried Y bag falls into the flames."

Damn good!

How can a fried Y bag bounce up?

However, at this time, everything is false, and running for your life is true. Once that bomber explodes, it will definitely blow up all the armed merchant ships. At such a close distance, the flying wood chips will definitely beat all the Cangshan ships beyond recognition. If they were still on board, there was little chance of saving their lives.

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

"Poof!"

The netg on the Cangshan ship has countless 1ngua. Peseta and others, directly from the ten-meter-high mast, "a fierce man, C into the river, and then desperately dived." Hu Xibin was the last to jump into the river and dived desperately.

This is the basic action to save life, and all sailors "must not be sloppy in the slightest." Just kidding, if there is no river to block it, the debris that blows up can kill them all.

Only by desperately diving below three meters can it be possible to save your life.

As soon as he plunged into the river, Hu Xibin felt that the back of his body "seemed to be pushed hard by something, and then he was confused for a while", and his hands and feet seemed to have lost strength. Vaguely, "it was as if he heard a loud explosion." Then "he felt the darkness in front of him" and felt like he was going to faint.

He hurriedly bit his tongue to make himself more sober, and at the same time pinched his thigh hard, continuing to make himself more sober. These are also the basic actions to save life, and they were taught by Zhang Zhun himself. In life-and-death moments, "it can often save the lives of many people." Under the water, "once a person loses consciousness, it is completely finished."

"Boom!"

On the river behind Hu Xibin, a fire brighter than the sun burst out, followed by a deafening explosion. After the explosion of the bombardment, the raging fire "turned into sparks flying in all directions." From a distance, it looks like a day's fire, and the scene is indeed terrifying.

The huge gas 1ng overturned Hu Xibin's Cangshan boat at once. The mast went deep into the river, and then broke it fiercely, and the bottom of the boat was directly upside down. The debris produced by the explosion, like bullets, hit the top of the bottom of the ship, and the thick bottom of the ship was beaten beyond recognition. If someone were on board, there would be no chance of survival.

The wooden armed merchant ship really couldn't stop the bombardment of the bombardment, and a large dng was opened at the bottom of the cabin. The sea continued to pour in, and the armed merchant ship soon sank. The raging fire, soaked in the river water, was like a demon unwilling to fail, and finally disappeared completely on the surface of the river.

"Whew!"

It took a long time for Hu Xibin and others to "come out of the water." They gulped greedily for fresh air. Due to the speed of the dive, they did not suffer much damage. The most seriously injured "is probably Hu Xibin himself."

The other Cangshan ships followed suit, throwing bomb packets onto the burning armed merchant ships and destroying them one by one. This approach is indeed effective. The wooden armed merchant ships could not withstand the bombardment of the bombardment of the bombardment. Soon, all ten armed merchant ships "were all destroyed." However, the Tiger Ben Navy itself also paid a certain price.

Hu Xibin's luck is good. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately dived into the water and "avoided the explosion of the armed merchant ship." In the end, only one person was slightly injured, and everyone was alive. In addition, there were three Cangshan ships, which were directly overturned when they exploded, and the sailors on the ship did not have time to retreat, and as a result, someone died.

Finally, the death toll is definitely over a hundred. There was one of the most damaged Cangshan ships, "including the captain, thirty-two sailors, none of whom survived. However, it is definitely worth it to exchange such casualties for ten burning armed merchant ships.

"Damn it!"

Zheng Shouyuan muttered to himself.

These Cangshan ships of the Tiger Ben Army Navy "really don't want to die, and they destroyed all ten burning armed merchant ships." The Tiger Ben Navy has such a method, even if the Zheng family fleet sacrifices other fireships, I am afraid that it will not work.

"What should I do?"

"What should I do?"

"What should I do?"

Now that all the large fireships he had prepared in a desperate attempt had sunk to the bottom of the river, Zheng Chenggong felt that his head was in pain as if it was about to burst. What the hell is going to be? In order to solve the dilemma in front of you?! ~!
