Chapter 1021: The Longest Night (3)

***

In an instant, more than a dozen rockets from the three small boats roared towards the enemy warship with a brilliant tail flame.

Rumble! Boom, boom, boom

The violent explosion set off a cloud of fire, and it rose into the sky, and the two warships under the command of Wernardo were instantly devastated, the high masts smashed down, and the planks scattered like rain in the firelight.

One of the armed merchant ships in front of it was hit by as many as four rockets, the hull could not withstand such a heavy blow, it was torn in two by the violent shock wave, the fire was blazing, and the broken hull was suddenly poured into the sea and sank at an alarming speed;

The Dutch on board were full of dead and wounded, but they were lucky not to be killed, and seeing the broken battleship sinking rapidly, like headless flies, they screamed in panic and jumped into the sea of rolling black waves.

Wernardo turned a blind eye to this, and at the moment, his heart was as hard as stone.

He had long known that even if the Qin army was trapped to death, it would not be easy to surrender.

They are fierce tigers, even if they are trapped temporarily, but their fangs are still there, their claws are still there, they are trapped and the beasts are still fighting, and in the end they may even lose both sides and burn the jade.

Wernardo never dared to hope that the Qin army would surrender without paying a little price, for this victory, for the hegemony in the Indian Ocean, Wernerdo was ready to pay enough price, so he didn't even frown when he sank two armed merchant ships.

"Order, lean in, attack with all your might!"

Wernardo's calm order, now the tiger is trapped, the battleship in the middle is blocked, can only do it in a hurry, only the battleships at the front and rear ends can come sideways to counterattack, and there is not much room for maneuver, just like a fixed target, this is for Wernerdo. It's the best chance, maybe the only chance.

The Dutch warships sailed downwind, constantly approaching, tongues of fire, with a deafening roar, like a bewitching magic fire in the night, the weak rain that shot from all over the sky stirred up a splash on the sea, and the Qin troops on the dinghy were hit one after another, and their limbs were broken. The blood rain was sprinkled, and the heroic picture made the ghosts and gods cry and the heavens and the earth dizzy.

Li Yi's face was full of blood sprinkled by his comrades, he howled angrily in the firelight, only a mouthful of teeth were white, he desperately pulled out the remains of his comrades, and pulled out rockets from below, the rockets were all soaked with the blood of his comrades, and he didn't leave his hands. "Phew!" With a bang, Li Yi suddenly tore off his robe, quickly wiped the bloody rocket, and then loaded it onto the bazooka.

Burst! The raging marbles hit the bodies of their comrades. The splash of minced flesh splashed him in the face again, and he almost couldn't open his eyes, "Ah, red-haired ghost." Grandpa is not afraid of you, come on! Ah, come on! Hit me! If you don't hit me, grandpa will kill you."

Li Yi is like having lost his mind. The whole person fell into a state of madness, roaring hysterically, but the movements of his hands were not slow, chirp! Another dazzling flame rose into the air, and with infinite fury, it shot at the enemy's warship.

Rumble! This shell happened to hit Vilnardo's flagship, and the entire middle of the battleship was swept away by the fierce fire, and the fierce explosion was earth-shattering;

Wernardo's flagship was like being slammed down by an invisible giant hand, the keel clicked, and the Dutch soldiers on the ship were either thrown into the air or engulfed in flames, the picture was like purgatory on earth.

Wernardo was tossed up by the violent shock wave and slammed into the inclined cabin barrier, and boom! With a startled thud, Wernerdo's body crashed into the bulkhead and rolled down, his back pierced by a torn plank, and blood gushed for a moment.

"General Wernardo!"

"Your Excellency, General!"

“”

The soldiers who were not dead in the cabin rushed over and lifted Vinardo up, but Vinardo was not only stabbed in the back by the wood, but the bruising impact also caused blood to continue to overflow from his mouth.

"This is our last chance, pass on my order not to give up, not to retreat, to fight to the point of a single soldier, but also to destroy the fleet of the Qin State here"

With blood spilling from his mouth, Wernardo gave the last order with difficulty, and then fainted to the panicked shouts of his men.

Ke Chenshu has already raised the Golden Dragon Banner, this is an order for a decisive battle that will never stop fighting, so the Qin army should rush forward without hesitation and fight to the death with the enemy.

However, trapped in this narrow sea area, the battleships inside were blocked by the battleships outside, and they couldn't fire their guns at all, so they could only watch anxiously as the battleships on the periphery were fighting bloody battles with the enemy, and the enemy's fleet seemed to be crazy, constantly pressing, artillery fire was in the sky, and bullets rained down;

The battleships on the periphery were under heavy blows, some of the masts had been broken, the ship's buildings had been destroyed, and they were bombarded with thousands of holes, and they couldn't bear to die, but the guns on the lower deck were still desperately fighting back;

Some of the guns were charged because they could not cool down and fired, and the barrels of the guns exploded entirely, triggering a fire in the ship, which in turn detonated the propellant in the cabin, and in a series of fierce explosions, the superstructure was all lifted off, and the raging fire quickly engulfed the entire battleship.

When the warships on the inner floor saw this scene of tragic death, they gritted their teeth with hatred and became angry, and everyone was like a trapped tiger, constantly roaring and hurrying.

The Dongting ship was unwilling to be trapped, explored westward alone, and ran aground again; The Baiyang hit the east to explore and ran aground; After the Xihu ship continued the Dongting ship, it explored to the southwest and ran aground

It seems that all the ways out have been blocked, which is a desperate thing, but despair cannot save the ocean-going fleet, and no matter how useless exploration, grounding, and running aground are useless.

One bad news after another, Ke Chenshu gritted his teeth, slammed his fist on the table, and shouted: "Come one by one, turn around!" Go back the way you came, go all out and break through! ”

"Whoa!"

The safety zone in this sea area is too narrow, and the Qin army's flying scissor warships are also sixty meters long, not to mention the two treasure ships, so it is not easy to make a U-turn in this narrow sea area.

Now it was only like this, the battleships were as close as possible, vacating more sea space, and then turning around one by one, it was a maddeningly slow process, the enemy battleships were getting closer, and the rumbling artillery fire was almost covering the middle of the two treasure ships.

The enemy's artillery can continue to extend inward, but the Qin warships that are leaning together, one in the way, except for the one on the periphery that can fire back, the others can only stare dryly.

Disheveled! Fluffy!

Disheveled! Fluffy!

The enemy's shells continued to pour down, and the Qin warships crowded together became a huge target, and the enemy's shells could almost hit the Qin warships as long as they came out of the ship.

The few gliders that had successfully taken to the skies had not yet reached the skies of the enemy ships before they had been swept down by the howling wind and fell into the sea, failing to fire even a single shell.

The range of the Qin army's rockets was only about 200 paces, and during the artillery battle between the two sides, it was impossible to reach the enemy ships at all, unless the enemy ships continued to get closer, and then closer

The night is long, the wind is tight, the waves are fierce, and at this moment the enemy's countless artillery fire is raging, like thunder and rain, this is the most difficult moment for the ocean-going fleet, most of the warships can only endure the enemy's wanton and indiscriminate bombardment, life and death hanging by a thread.

Turned around, the first spaceship finally turned around slowly, Ke Chenshu then ordered another treasure ship with Li Mu as the captain to turn around, the treasure ship was huge, and it was even more difficult to turn around, and Li Mu spent most of the time before he finally turned around.

Li sent a request to Ke Chenshu to take the lead in breaking through the encirclement and forcing away the Dutch fleet that was originally hiding behind the fleet, and after obtaining Ke Chenshu's permission, Li Mu's treasure ship and three other flying scissor warships sailed downwind and rushed towards the thirty elite warships of Akideni who were blocking the back road.

The sails were blowing in the wind, and the waves were split like wings by the bow of the ship.

Thirty enemy ships, a salvo is hundreds of shells whistling, on the battleship, on the sea, the bullets fell like rain, thrilling, Li Mu pulled out the command knife, commanded the four warships, braving the rain of bullets and rushed down the wind, the enemy ships were like a wall blocking in front, Li Mu did not hesitate at all, rushed over, even if it was a direct collision, he had to crash out of the bloody road.

The artillery is roaring, the human voices are shouting, the sea is roaring, and the vast Indian Ocean is witnessing a breakthrough battle that looks like death, a bloody and incomparably tragic fierce battle

Closer, closer, the huge figure of the treasure ship, although it was blown all over its body, still crashed into the wind, and the Dutch eyes were full of fear and screamed again and again (to be continued......
