Wernardo had a total of thirty-five warships and thirty-one armed merchant ships, for a total of 66. At this moment, Quan turned southeast with Wernardo, and headed towards Ke Chenshu's two huge treasure ships.
The night sky was heavy, the wind was howling, the waves were roaring, and many Mughal naval warships were burning on the sea, illuminating large swaths of the sea.
It will be a battle of life and death, and a naval battle that will determine the future hegemony of the Indian Ocean. When Wernardo made this decision, he rushed headlong without hesitation. The target is directly aimed at Ke Chenshu's two treasure ships!
A full sixty-six ships, as soon as they turned to the southeast, became a tailwind. The raging waves and winds puffed up the huge sails, driving the battleship, breaking the waves at full speed, the speed was like flying, and the coming was menacing!
Looking from the treasure ship, I saw that the lights on the enemy ship were continuous and suffocating, like a wall of fire. At this moment, the two treasure ships seemed a little lonely, at least Xie Chun felt so. His heart tightened as the enemy's fleet kept approaching.
Xie Chun was a timid man, he didn't like war, and he didn't have a dream of making a career like most Qin soldiers.
He became a gunner in the Great Qin Royal Navy, completely forced by life. His family was poor, and Daqin's army, in addition to being well paid, was always able to win battles, and if they won battles, they would be rewarded handsomely.
Every time he heard other soldiers talk about their dreams of making meritorious contributions, Xie Chun would also be very envious, but after listening to it, it was over, his biggest dream was to go home, far away on this vast sea, he would often dream of the small bridge and flowing water in his hometown, and the thatched cottage in the mulberry garden.
The Great Qin Navy had a decision to complete six years of service. You can choose to retire or continue to serve in the military.
Xie Chun has been serving in the Navy for three and a half years, and he often calculates when it will only be six years by himself, so he is often laughed at by his colleagues who are ambitious and bent on making achievements.
Daqin's navy as a whole is like the rising sun, full of vitality, and there are very few people like Xie Chun. At this moment, looking at the menacing Dutch fleet in the night firelight, Xie Chun inexplicably remembered the village surrounded by the gurgling water in his hometown, and the ....... in the dim light
"Xie Chun. Why are you still stunned?! Go and bring some shells up, go quickly! ”
Unlike other artillery commanders, Xie Chun's artillery commander Zhang Kuan rarely roared loudly or kicked and punched the soldiers under him, but when a fierce battle was approaching, he couldn't help but roar loudly at this time.
Xie Chun hurriedly followed his comrades in front of him and rushed over to carry the projectile. Although he also practiced artillery fire, his main duty was to carry the ammunition and then load it into the sub-guns that were ready for use. In a real battle. He never had a chance to touch the artillery.
The gun compartment was tense and busy at this time, and the gunners were constantly roaring, some were reporting the wind speed and distance, and some were asking. Some are scolding their mothers;
When Xie Chun, Li Gui, and Li Erzhu rushed back behind their No. 1 cannon with ammunition, the cannon began to roar, and with the scorching tongue of fire erupting, the smoke was swept in by the sea breeze. Choking on cough.
Through the porthole, you can see that the enemy ship under black pressure has been pressed to within 300 paces, and it is mighty. Like a mountain pressing on the top; At the same time, the enemy ships also began to spew out tongues of fire, like the wrath of the devil in the night, intertwined, and the sound of cannons was like muffled thunder, rolling and pounced!
In the huge cannon cabin where Xie Chun was, there was also a roar and deafening. On such a night, the trajectory of the cannonballs could not be seen from the portholes, but in just a moment, countless splashes of water rose around the battleship, shooting like pillars, thrilling!
Boom! Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the side of the No. 11 gun, and a huge projectile smashed on the No. 11 gun, and the barrel was smashed and bent completely, and it fell to the side with a bang, knocking several gunners of the No. 11 gun into a burst of blood and falling to the ground; Immediately, the No. 11 gun crashed into the No. 10 gun again, knocking over the No. 10 gun, and then it could be stopped.
And the enemy's projectile, after smashing the No. 11 gun, knocked a large hole in the gun compartment. In an instant, seven people were killed and wounded. The death of the deceased was horrific, and the wounded rolled and wailed in excruciating pain. The medics rushed over to the roars of the soldiers, carrying the wounded to first aid.
"Quick, give me a gun!"
"Shoot back, it!"
"The Red-Haired Devil of a Son of a Son"
The soldiers in the gun compartment were all enraged, their eyes were red, their hair was furious, and they roared one by one, and they did their best to quickly reload, push the cannons, and shoot! Rows of shells carried everyone's outpouring of anger, and smashed fiercely and fiercely at the Dutch warships in the distance.
"Hit!"
"I hit!"
In addition to the angry scolding, there were also shouts of surprise from time to time. While Xie Chun was desperately reloading, he occasionally glanced at the sea, but when he saw the swarming Dutch warships, from time to time, the cabin was collapsed by shells, the mast was broken, and it was smashed to the sea. As you can imagine, the enemy also suffered a terrible blow.
"The Red Devil is crazy! Lose your marbles!! ”
Sun Wu, the gunner of the No. 2 gun, suddenly shouted, the Dutch were probably really crazy, and they actually pressed at full speed with the wind, no matter how fierce the artillery fire on both sides was, no matter how much price they paid, as if they were going to use the entire huge fleet to directly hit Xie Chun's treasure ship
Outside the cannon window, bullets fell like rain, and water jets flew out, like a dragon writhing and rolling in the sea. From time to time there was a loud noise on the deck, and it was the enemy shells falling one after another.
It is conceivable that the planks on the upper deck must have been splashed in all directions, and the enemy would pounce on them with no fate! The treasure ship is huge, and it is difficult to turn, not to mention that it is still going against the wind. The enemy's ships came with the wind, as fast as a loose crazy horse, and there was a great tendency to never die.
Disheveled! There was a loud bang in the No. 2 gun window, and before Xie Chun had time to look, the No. 2 gun window collapsed in a large piece, and a whistling projectile crashed in, smashing Sun Wu and the two gunners away one after another.
Suddenly, Xie Chun, who was reloading, was hit by something and rolled out, hitting his head on the bulkhead, making him feel dizzy in his eyes, and he shook his head desperately to make himself sober;
Xie Chun felt that his face was sticky, he stretched out his hand to wipe it, his hands were full of blood and brains, he just got out, it was Sun Wu who knocked himself away, he fell to the side, his whole head was gone, and blood kept coming out of his neck.
Xie Chun was stunned, his scalp was tense and numb, how could this be? Sun Wu died like this, and when he died, he said yesterday that he would fight to Europe, and he would personally plant the dragon flag of Daqin on the enemy's capital
Before Xie Chun could get up, he heard "Peng!" again. Unlike the roar of the artillery in the cabin, a shell smashed in, and the commander of the No. 1 gun and the two gunners were smashed away before they could even scream;
Xie Chun was hit hard again, a tingling pain came from his thigh that made him almost faint, he looked down, but saw a piece of Sensen's white bone pierced into his thigh, and then look, this time it was his cannon commander Zhang Kuan who hit him;
Zhang Kuan had been smashed by the cannonball, and his identity could only be judged from his clothes. It was Zhang Kuan's arm bone that was inserted into Xie Chun's thigh, looking at this scene, all the blood in Xie Chun's body surged to his head, making his hair stand on end, and his scalp was almost exploding, "Ah! With a sudden yell, he pushed aside the medic who had rushed up to help him bandage his wounds, and rushed towards Gun No. 1
"I'm your mother's red-haired ghost!! Day you fuck!! Return my artillery commander, you return my artillery commander!! Xie Chun's face was like tears raining down, and he shouted heartbreakingly, he didn't feel the blood gushing on his leg at all, he opened the cannon lock at the fastest speed, pulled out the gun in the gun chamber, and then replaced it with a new one
Li Gui and Li Erzhu also rushed over, shouting while assisting Xie Chun in operating the cannon, "Get out of the way!" I'm your red-haired ghost, you pay me back as the gun commander, you pay me back!! In the rain of Xie Chun's tears, the cannonballs spewed out with his thunderous rage, tearing apart the suffocating night sky and smashing the enemy ship that was rushing towards the wind! Xie Chun seemed to be able to hear the fierce crashing sound, and the cabin of an enemy ship was smashed into the air
The enemy was already within a hundred paces, and from the gun window, you could see that rockets were whistling out of the upper deck, streaking across the night sky, intertwined into a stream of fire, and it was extremely dazzling.
Rumble! Boom Boom.!!
Clusters of fireballs soared and tumbled on the enemy's battleships, the masts fell, the canopies flew to ashes, and in the firelight, you could see red-haired ghosts flying into the air, with severed limbs and stumps flying.
Xie Chun didn't care to look at it much, "Reload!" Give me Zitong" The artillery was hot, but Xie Chun didn't seem to realize it, he just wanted to dump more shells on the enemy ship, at this moment, he forgot the small bridge and flowing water in his hometown, the mulberry garden hut, and only endless anger
