Chapter 526: The Battle of the East China Sea (7)
******
In naval battles, the use of lime is very common, not only the Qin army will use it, at this time Zheng Zhilong is to send small ships to sprinkle lime, large gunboats to bombard Di Zhongxing.
The sea was full of white mist, tongues of fire erupted, roared continuously, and rained cannonballs fell into the sea, causing the waves to roll.
Compared with Zheng Zhilong, who has been mixed at sea for half his life, Di Zhongxing's naval combat experience is indeed a little tender, and he is at the downwind, so he has tried his best, but he has never been able to escape Zheng Zhilong's encirclement and interception, let alone grab the upper hand.
Many soldiers of the Qin army were blinded by lime, and their condition was critical.
Zheng Zhilong took the opportunity to get closer and closer, and Di Zhongxing's losses were getting bigger and bigger, and the thirty gunboats had already lost eleven, and the rest were also scarred.
At this time, the eighty-two ships led by Zheng Sihai rushed desperately, and saw that the friendly troops were beaten miserably, Zheng Sihai rushed to the top of his head with blood, and his eyes were blood-red; "Rush!"
In his roar, eighty warships chased the wind and waves like wolves, and kept killing Zheng Jun for a moment;
Zheng Jun is an old bird on the sea, at first glance at the enemy, frightened but not confused, the starboard naval guns continued to bombard Di Zhongxing, the port side also opened fire one after another, raindrops of cannonballs whistling towards Zheng Sihai's side
At this time, only the two battleships of the 18th Battalion stopped a mile away, nervously laying down the wave-breaking boats;
The battalion commander Hong Tianzhao took advantage of this gap and yelled at the soldiers of the 18th battalion: "Remember, we are the Night Owl Battalion, our first task is to hunt Zheng Zhilong, and leave everything else alone, understand?" ”
The soldiers of the eighteenth battalion roared in unison: "Understood, hunt Zheng Zhilong!" Hunt Zheng Zhilong! Hunt Zheng Zhilong! ”
After the fifty wave-breaking boats were lowered, Hong Tianzhao gave an order, and the soldiers quickly climbed down the gangway with weapons such as earth-shaking thunder and incendiary bombs and fell onto the wave-breaking boats;
In addition to the weapons of the earth-shattering thunder, more importantly, each wavebreaker ship is equipped with a rocket slip. Three rockets, this is the killing weapon they hunted Zheng Zhilong.
Soon, the soldiers stromped on the oars, and fifty wave-breaking boats flew out, they were the real wolves of the sea, their hulls were already very low, and when the soldiers stepped on the oars, their bodies lay on their backs, and the people and boats were close to the sea, and they were almost invisible from a distance.
The soldiers shouted their trumpets. Stomping hard, the wave-breaking ship was like an arrow from the string, chopping the waves and shuttling like flying, killing Zheng Jun, the speed was at least three or four times faster than that of ordinary sailing ships, and in a moment, they crossed the eighty friendly ships that rushed ahead.
"Night Stalker Camp!"
"It's the Night Stalker Camp!"
"Night Owl Camp, good job."
"Kill! Kill the enemies, take them out"
When the wavebreaker flew past the eighty battleships. The Qin army on the battleship almost shouted through their throats, and the astonishing speed of the wave-breaking ship made them excited, and the shouts even overshadowed the roaring cannons of the Zheng army.
From time to time, shells fell on the sea. The water splashed everywhere, and one of them was unfortunately hit by a huge projectile, only to hear "Bang! With a loud bang, the wave-breaking boat was instantly smashed into two. The soldiers on board were lifted into the air, and two of them were smashed into meatloaf and sunk into the sea.
Hong Tianzhao's eyes were blood-red. Roaring like thunder, "Quick! Faster! As soon as he finished shouting, Zheng Jun seemed to have gone out of his way, bang! There was another loud bang, and a wave-breaking boat on Hong Tianzhao's left was hit by a stray bullet and was destroyed in an instant
The tragic death of his comrades made the other soldiers of the Night Stalker Battalion all hate and go crazy, gritting their teeth one by one, struggling to step on the oars and rush over! Rushing over can not only enter the blind spot of Zheng Jun's artillery fire, but also return the color to make Zheng Jun's blood debt repaid.
The sea was filled with gunsmoke, and Zheng Jun didn't see these flying sharks speeding close to the sea at all, until Hong Tianzhao approached fifty zhang, Zheng Jun vaguely noticed that something on the sea was approaching quickly.
"What's that?"
"Quick-change shotgunfire."
"It's too fast, the other party is too soon, it's too late"
"Quick, with a firecracker! Shoot! ”
The soldiers of Zheng Jun vaguely saw something approaching rapidly on the sea, and with their rich experience in naval warfare, they subconsciously felt that danger was approaching, approaching rapidly;
So they shouted one by one, took the musket and began to shoot, and the sound of gunfire rang out, and the bullets flew like rain.
Hong Tianzhao didn't have many rockets and didn't want to waste them, so they braved Zheng Jun's bullet rain to keep approaching, and the chirping bullets came and hit the water, splashing a little bit;
Burst! With a bang, a soldier in front of Hong Tianzhao was shot in the head by a bullet, and the blood splashed on his face.
"Ahh He roared, grabbed the rocket, lit the fuse, and then quickly sat up, carried the rocket to his shoulder and aim, chirp! With a loud bang, the rockets with dazzling tail flames were fired at the towering enemy gunboats!
Rumble!
With a loud bang, the rocket hit the middle of the enemy ship, and a fireball rushed several feet high.
The building in the middle of the enemy ship was completely swept away, and the violent shock wave swept Zheng Jun on the ship into the air, leaving the prime minister and breaking all his limbs, and the scene was extremely tragic.
The power of these rockets, filled with yellow explosives, is very different from those of solid shells, which often cause partial damage to the battleship and do little damage to the personnel on board.
After this rocket hits, the violent explosion almost lifts the upper building away, which is very lethal to the personnel on the ship, and at the same time, it will also cause a raging fire, so that the entire ship is quickly shrouded in fire smoke.
Such a terrifying blow made the Zheng troops on the other ships stunned, terrified, and even the artillery was dumb.
"Quick, find Zheng Zhilong's flagship!" Almost at the same time as the enemy ship exploded violently, Hong Tianzhao roared again, and more than 40 wave-breaking boats were like flying sharks on the sea, quickly shuttling from wave to wave, bringing up water mist like a screen.
Zheng Jun, who came back to his senses, screamed again and again, and the guns rang out in unison, shooting desperately.
The night owl battalion was already very close, the rockets were fired one by one, and under the dazzling tail flames, the huge gunboats of the Zheng army had nightmares one after another;
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
A series of fierce explosions blew up the giant ships to the ground.
The bombed ship buildings turned into broken wooden planks scattered on the water, and the body of Zheng Jun, who was killed by the explosion, fell all over the sea and soon sank to the bottom of the sea.
The gunpowder on some of the gunboats was detonated at the same time, forming a huge mushroom cloud, and the whole giant ship clicked and cracked in two, sinking into the sea with a raging fire.
Everywhere there is firelight, everywhere there are screams, everywhere there are broken wooden planks, the west wind is urgent, the waves are like anger, the sky is power, the ghosts and gods are crying, and the sea is like purgatory on earth, which makes people sad and miserable.
Zheng Jun suffered such a violent blow that he was frightened, trembled, and lost his soul, and the battleships, which had not been attacked for the time being, began to scatter in all directions in a panic, so that some of the ships collided with each other, making a loud bang, and the soldiers on board fell into a ball, crying for their fathers and mothers.
Even Zheng Zhilong is no exception, Qin Jun's rocket slip is rarely used due to its small production, Zheng Zhilong has only faintly heard of its name before, he has not seen it with his own eyes, and he didn't think that the power is so amazing; The use of these fast shark-like boats in naval battles is terrifying.
Di Zhongxing, who had been pressed and beaten by Zheng Zhilong, couldn't help but be ecstatic when he saw that the situation had reversed for a while, beat the war drums violently, and commanded his warships to fight bravely.
To the west, Zheng Sihai's eighty warships also arrived and besieged the remaining warships of Zheng's army.
Zheng Jun's courage had been exhausted, and he was unable to carry out an effective counterattack at all, and each only cared about fleeing for his life.
However, under the attack of the Qin army on both sides, where can they flee to?
After many Zheng army warships were pasted by the Qin army, they only threw two earth-shattering thunderbolts and bombed them indiscriminately, and then surrendered.
"Let's go! Fast! Zheng Zhilong roared, his face was as pale as a ghost, after countless naval battles, he felt so frightened for the first time, and his whole body was soft with fear, "Quick, lower the handsome flag, quickly lower the flag!" ”
Zheng Zhilong only reacted at this time to lower the handsome flag so as not to attract attention.
But obviously, it's late.
The primary target of the Night Stalker Camp is him, and he has long been eager to see through it!
Zheng Zhilong's five-masted giant ship was already eye-catching, and when the handsome flag was lowered, it was seen by several ships, so they rushed over in a swarm.
Seeing those terrifying boats coming close to the sea and cleaving the waves, Zheng Zhilong was so anxious that he yelled hysterically: "Quick, load up the shotgun, bomb them"
"Guogong, it's too close, the angle of the artillery can't reach it."
"Then use the firecracker, quick, shoot fast!"
