Chapter 523: The Battle of the East China Sea (4) (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

***

The sound of gunfire continued, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the surroundings, Zheng Jun were all outlaws who had lived at sea for many years, extremely brave, braving the rain of bullets and constantly approaching the huge ship of the Qin army, once they were glued up by the other party, it would be extremely dangerous.

Liu Zhongqin, who used to be nicknamed Chaojiang Long, sneered: "Come on, come on if you are not afraid of death, Wei Thirteen, prepare, let the enemy taste our benefits!" ”

"Yes, General!"

Chirping bullets flew like rain, and rockets came in the air, intending to ignite the giant ship, Wei 13 and they hid under the side of the ship, and returned fire with bird guns, and when the Zheng Jun ship approached the two sides, Wei 13 shouted: "Drop the bomb!" ”

In an instant, the Qin army on the giant ship was condescending, and threw a sky-shaking thunderbolt down, which fell on Zheng Jun's small ship like hail;

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! A series of explosions wreaked havoc on Zheng Jun's small ship, the tall mast snapped off, and all the deck cabins were lifted off, turning into countless pieces of wood scattered on the sea.

Zheng Jun on the ship also hid explosives, originally intended to stick to the Qin army's giant ship, used to blow up the ship, at this time was also killed, the huge fireball rushed up two or three zhang high, the hull was completely shattered, and the flying wooden planks hit the Qin army's giant ship, frightening Wei 13 They were scared, for fear that their giant ship would not be able to withstand it.

Except for Zheng Jun, who saw the opportunity quickly and jumped into the sea to escape, most of the bones were blown up.

Zheng Xing, who was in the distance, saw that more than a dozen Cangshan ships that he rushed up were blown up one after another, and the remaining seven or eight did not dare to lean on again, so they scattered and fled. Such a tragic scene made him look at it with tears in his eyes, "Go!" Circle the island and retreat to the southwest" Zheng Xing was not so confident, and in the blink of an eye, he destroyed seven or eight Cangshan ships, while the Qin army had two hundred large and small warships;

The two sides fired one to the east and the other to the west, firing in parallel. The thirty-six gunboats of the Qin army kept firing, and when they didn't stop, the shells came like raindrops, this was the most despicable and shameless group fight, thirty-six ships fought three ships, who could bear it!

As the two sides drew closer and closer, so did the shells fall closer and closer to their ships, and some of them whizzed past the side of the ship; Boom! Suddenly there was a loud bang from behind, followed by an exclamation;

Zheng Xing hurriedly looked back, only to see that the right ship of a three-masted gunboat behind him was pierced by a projectile. Salt water was pouring into the hull, forming a whirlpool on the side of the ship.

The hull of the ship began to tilt to the right, and the captain Wang Sangu was directing the soldiers to try to plug the bullet hole, and a black charcoal-like Kunlun slave was slightly slower with his hands and feet, and he was kicked and beaten by Wang Sangu, who was in a hurry! Another loud bang

Poor Wang Sangu, the cannonball seemed to be looking for him, the big hole on the starboard side had not been blocked, and the bow of the ship was hit again, and a shark's mouth was torn open in an instant. Fortunately, these gunboats are in the water compartment and cannot sink for a while, but it will always affect the speed.

The Qin army fought more and fought less, and the firepower was too fierce. Nearly 100 projectiles were fired in a salvo, and Wang Sangu, who had lost his speed, became a live target, and under this situation, it was only a matter of time before he was sunk.

Jiang Xiaoyu, who had been chased and fled from the Manchu Realm before, did not escape now. While sending a small ship to inform Di Zhongxing of the news that Zheng Zhilong was behind him, he turned the rudder and turned the ship sideways. Zheng Xing followed his buttocks around the island to the west, and when he came sideways, he immediately blocked Zheng Xing's way.

Zheng Xing didn't want to go east just now, but Di Zhongxing's fleet was attacking him from northwest to southeast as a whole, and if he turned to the east, he would soon be pressed by Di Zhongxing to the small island in the east, unless his captain's foot, it would be a dead end to the east.

Well, Jiang Xiaoyu, who had been chased for a long time, came sideways to block his way again, and the ten thousand-pound Franc machine guns on the starboard side fired a salvo every ten seconds or so, and the shells didn't need to be smashed like money, and then rushed up, which was equivalent to hitting Jiang Xiaoyu's muzzle.

It is true that his front main gun can also bombard Jiang Xiaoyu, but there is only one front main gun, and it is also a Hongyi cannon with a slow rate of fire. Compared with the two sides, Jiang Xiaoyu shot fifty projectiles, and he only shot one;

50 to 1 rate of fire, unless Guanyin Bodhisattva is your mother-in-law, the Jade Emperor you are your godfather, such as the Buddha your comrade. Otherwise, you will definitely die first.

Just when Zheng Xing secretly shouted, "My life is over!" At the same time, he suddenly found that Jiang Xiaoyu sailed away, seemingly fleeing in the wilderness, Zheng Xing was overjoyed, "Pingguo Gong has arrived, it must be Ping Guogong has arrived." ”

Zheng Xing guessed correctly, Jiang Xiaoyu, who was attacking Zheng Xing, was indeed because he saw countless warships coming out from the southwest of Shuangdao, like black clouds, he didn't care about the headache and hit the water dogs, and hurriedly set sail to the west;

He didn't want to run away, but to seize the "T" crosshead to meet the Zheng army that was killing to the north, he only had one artillery ship, but at this time he could only fight, at least to buy a little time for Di Zhongxing to adjust the formation.

At this time, north of the two islands, the entire sea was filled with gunsmoke and artillery fire, and the gunboats of the North Sea Fleet gave up the opportunity to beat Zheng Xing and began to kill eastward with the wind, because Zheng Jun's ships also killed on the east side of the two islands.

Zheng Xing just breathed a sigh of relief, and saw more than ten small eagle boats and bluffing boats of the Qin army riding the wind and waves to kill, this is to see the red with a white edge, although there are no artillery on these eagle boats, but the speed is fast, like a flying shark in the waves, braving Zheng Xing's artillery fire is constantly approaching, and the tongue of fire on the side is continuous, which is a salvo of birds and bullets chirping like rain.

Zheng Xing was furious, and the solid bullets really couldn't hit, so he ordered to replace them with shotguns and bombard the eagle boats and sand boats that came up. Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! It was not Zheng Xing's artillery that was ringing, and at this moment, the roar of his ship's artillery was almost muffled;

On the east side of the twin islands, a total of hundreds of artillery pieces of the Qin and Zheng armies began to bombard, as if the sky was falling apart and the sea was flowing backwards; On the sea within a radius of several miles, the waves are like anger, the wind and clouds are changing, there are 70 warships of the Zheng army and 200 warships of the Qin army, covering the sea.

The sound of war drums, shouts, guns, and angry waves are intertwined into a sky-high air current, blowing straight into the night.

The Zheng army on the east side of the twin islands, led by Chen Hui, had 70 warships of all sizes, and was seized by the North Sea Fleet, which was heading southeast downwind, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to the Zheng army. Chen Hui was so anxious that he had to give the order to turn, and he also turned from north to east, two or three hundred paces parallel to the Qin army, and continued to shoot at each other.

On the west side of the twin islands, Jiang Xiaoyu could not stop the Zheng army's ten times the battleship, and he couldn't even delay for long, and then he had to sail west. Hundreds of Zheng warships ignored him, and after rounding to the north of the twin islands, they turned east and chased towards the North Sea Fleet.

Di Zhongxing and Chen Hui shot parallel to each other, the projectile was like rain, the water column was like a mountain, at this time it was a northwest wind, Di Zhongxing made a decision on the spot, sent dozens of eagle boats, sand boats, and constantly sprinkled lime powder at the upwind mouth, the white lime powder was blown by the wind, and a fog seemed to blow on the sea, and it was white.

Chen Hui's fleet was at a downwind, lime powder was all floating towards them, many soldiers were blinded, and they couldn't even open their eyes in pain, so Chen Hui couldn't care about shooting at Di Zhongxing anymore, and ordered to turn around and avoid the south;

The Qin army's eagle boats, sand boats, and bluffing boats, like waves on the grassland, immediately rode the wind and waves, chased wildly, and vowed to destroy Zheng Jun's gunboats one by one.

At this time, the danger was also approaching the North Sea Fleet at the same time, and the hundreds of warships under the personal command of Zheng Zhilong were chasing from behind, and they were getting closer and closer.

Di Zhongxing sent twenty of the fastest sand boats to delay Zheng Zhilong, and ordered thirty gunboats to turn to the northeast.

Zheng Zhilong has been rolling at sea for half his life, and he can see at a glance Di Zhongxing's plan, Di Zhongxing wants to rotate along a large arc, so that he can not only use the port side to face himself, but with the continuous turning, sooner or later he will be robbed to the northwest upwind.

How could Zheng Zhilong let his wish come true? Soon he also ordered the fleet to turn the rudder to the north, so that if Di Zhongxing turned in an arc again, Zheng Jun would just grab the T-shaped crosshead, and also have the upper hand.

In naval warfare, the upper wind outlet is very important, after seizing the upper hand, not only can you use lime and other things to confuse the enemy like Di Zhongxing, but also the battleship goes downwind, which can kill the opponent on his back

In the process of the two armies constantly turning, a situation was formed in which one side was in the west and the other side was in the east, parallel to the north, and the enemy and us were covering each other on the left and right, with artillery drums blaring in unison, catapults flying like rain, and the sound of killing and shouting, and the mountains and seas shook together
