Chapter Twenty-Seven: May I be honored to die under the banner
Delis knew that Zhang Biwu was an enemy, but when she saw Zhang Biwu jump from the boat into the river, she still breathed a sigh of relief! She couldn't help but think: "Biwu, it's good that you're safe!" Although I know that I am enemies with you, I can't help but worry about you! ”
Weddell's fists were clenched so loudly, he was very annoyed, so many people couldn't kill Zhang Biwu. He was muttering, "Kill him!" Kill Zhang Biwu! ”
On the other hand, Cai Jiuyi and Zhang Pan on the boat saw it, and they shouted: "Biwu, hurry!" Hurry up! Cai Jiuyi also rocked the boat towards Zhang Biwu when she was shouting, and at the same time, Zhang Pan also worked hard to start rocking the boat, so that the boat was moving quickly towards Zhang Biwu.
The British soldiers ran to the edge of the boat with guns and shot at Zhang Biwu, who had jumped down. As soon as Zhang Biwu entered the water, he swam quickly to the boat.
Fei Yangguo and E'ashan, as well as some Ming soldiers, saw that Zhang Biwu had successfully disembarked from the enemy ship and needed fire support, and of course they would not skimp on firepower.
Under the attack of the Ming army, the British soldiers still had some scruples, so Zhang Biwu could quickly swim to the boat, and was pulled into the boat by Cai Jiuyi and them.
As soon as Zhang Biwu arrived, of course, the boat had to row quickly together, and the main ship of the Ming army began to start! Crashed into the British ship that Zhang Biwu was on just now!
The ladders around the main ship all fell down at once, and the pirate ships surrounding it also sailed away one after another, fearing that the behemoth would crash into them, regardless of the life or death of their companions who had already boarded the main ship.
At the same time, two other ships also sank two of the pirates' ships. In this case, there were two of the five pirate ships, and when the pirates on the main ship saw that two of their ships had been rammed and sunk, they panicked. What's even more panicked is that the main ship of the Ming army actually crashed into the British ship quickly!
This is Zhu Kezhen's order! Zhu Kezhen gave the order to die, no matter what, he had to quickly crash into the enemy ship! Because Zhang Biwu made a fuss on the British ship for a while, and killed dozens of British soldiers, the sailors of this ship were greatly reduced, and they were still like frightened birds!
If the main ship suddenly increased its speed and rushed at great speed, the British ship would certainly not be able to react as quickly as possible.
Every batterer of the Ming army in the main ship is exerting himself! Because the shackles of the main ship have not been removed, it is still inconvenient to move, so they can only use all their strength to drive the warship forward quickly. Each of them shouted: "Hohoo! Come on! Everyone, do your best! ”
No, when the captain of the British ship saw this, he shouted in panic and ordered the paddlers to move the ship quickly, so as not to let the main ship of the Ming army collide, but it was slow!
Relative to this situation, most of the pirates left on the main ship of the Ming army stopped fighting, and even the Ming army also stopped fighting, they knew that when the two ships collided, they had to have a backing, grab the backing, and stabilize their bodies, even if the ship sank and fell into the water, as long as they were not injured, they could still have a chance to save their lives.
When Weddell saw the main ship of the Ming army heading towards one of his own ships, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and he said, "Isn't it already fixed?" Even if the anchor is removed, it should be inconvenient for the enemy's main ship to move! What can you do resolutely and resolutely crash into our ship at a very fast speed! Fire! Sink it for me quickly! ”
Now Weddell regrets that he should have taken a safe approach and directly sank the main ship of the Ming army, otherwise there would be no current result! Everything was so unexpected.
But even if you regret it, it's useless! It's too late to give the order to open fire! The main ship of the Ming army hit the British ship with a "bang", and although the British ship began to move, it still could not be avoided. "Boom", the fleeing British ship had no time to escape. Its flanks were hit, first sinking on one side.
One end of the flank that was hit was separated from the main body, and suddenly sawdust flew wildly. Some of the British soldiers on the flanks of the British ships shouted: "Help us! Save us! The flanks of the British ship spun like a spinning top on the water, and then sank into the water with the cries of the British soldiers.
Of course, the British boat did not feel good, and the river was pouring in a large amount through the large opening that had been hit, and soon the draft was too much, and the boat began to tilt upwards.
The soldiers on deck did not want to be slipped into the water, they clung to what they could to avoid falling into the water. But it was useless, because the sinking of the ship could not be stopped, for a while, not for too long, and eventually it would have to fall overboard.
Immediately, a cry for help was heard from the British ship, and the British ship quickly sank into the water. Many of the British soldiers had dived, and they were all calling Weddell's name, just to get their companions to come and save them.
Similarly, the main ship of the Ming army crashed into the British ship due to the front end, and the front end also opened an opening, but it was not as big as the opening of the British ship, and the main ship was sinking slowly, giving the Ming soldiers a chance to quickly jump into the water to survive.
Zhu Kezhen looked at the slowly sinking main ship, his heart was mixed, as the main general, he couldn't just take care of his own escape, he could only let his subordinates escape, he could only consider himself.
Because the ship is flooded, the ship sinks fast! Zhu Kezhen saw that there was another person at the mast, who was Zhang Pan's brother Zhang Dou.
Zhu Kezhen shouted: "Zhang Dou, run for your life!" Zhang Dou didn't escape, he shouted: "Lord Garrison, the military flag is here, there must be someone martyred in the military flag, right?" I'd rather stay here! ”
Zhang Dou glanced at Huang Youguang's corpse, and thought to himself: "Huang Youguang, don't think that your subordinates of Inspector Yuan are capable people, I want you to know that our Mao Dashuai's subordinates are also top-notch!" ”
In fact, Zhang Dou took a look and knew that most of the water was soaked up, and it was difficult for him to walk, the water was not deep, it was not shallow, it could be soaked to the chest, it was difficult to swim to the edge, and it was difficult for others to rescue him. The most important thing is as he thinks, what he wants to prove - Mao Dashuai's subordinates are also top-notch!
"Zhang Dou!" Zhu Kezhen looked at Zhang Dou and saw that he was climbing the mast, as if he wanted to go to the military flag.
Zhu Kezhen was very anxious when he saw that the boat was sinking and immersing in the water, and he couldn't save Zhang Dou, Zhu Kezhen knew that Zhang Dou was from Liaodong, his water quality was not good, and he only learned to swim a few years ago, this is because his brother Zhang Pan was on an errand under him, and he came to Guangdong from Liaodong.
Originally, he had the opportunity to leave, but he didn't leave, he chose to stay under the flag of the Ming army. I only heard Zhang Dou's shout: "Brothers, the flag of the Ming army will never fall!" No! He looked at the military flag with reverence, then smiled, and said, "It is also my honor to die under the military flag!" "He is not afraid of death at all!
Zhu Kezhen was still looking at Zhang Dou, anxious.
