Chapter 934: Capture the Thief and Capture the King First (2)

Seeing that the cannonballs in the sky suddenly all came towards their handsome ships, Zheng Zhibao and Tagawa Nanaemon were so frightened that they flew out of the sky, this is not a joke, so many cannonballs, specifically to hit their own handsome ships, once they are concentrated on the vital parts of the front, the handsome ship will sink into the sea!

Zheng Zhibao roared desperately, commanding the warship to start dodging the cannonballs coming from the sky in front of him, but even if the handsome ship was powerful, it was difficult to avoid so many cannonballs, of course, with the volume of two handsome ships of 2,000 materials and 800 tons, the length of the warship was more than 20 zhang, and the width was more than a few zhang.

Although Zheng Zhibao and Tagawa Nanazaemon were anxious, they were not flustered, they could avoid it, they couldn't avoid it, it was just a wave of attack, and they could withstand it, as long as the surrounding warships were all put into battle, the four warships in front of them would be sunk in a short time, and the big green head was just that, this was the main warship of the Fujian Naval Division, only half the size of the handsome ship, and it would definitely not be able to withstand the destruction of hundreds of shells.

However, when the cannonballs of the imperial sailors fell on the handsome ship, the two people were dumbfounded, the cannonballs, this is not a solid cannonball, at least more than half of the artillery is a solid cannonball, falling on the deck, first a big pit was opened, followed by a violent explosion, and a big hole was blown out when overtime was boarded, this is not counted, the violent explosion directly made the broken wooden planks and other flammable items on the deck burn, the solid cannonball can not smash the handsome ship, but the flowering cannonball can definitely burn the rotten handsome ship, just a wave of attacks, These shells landed on the deck, and in an instant, the flames rose, and even ignited the sails nearby!!

"Nope! Fight the fire, come on, put out the fire immediately, and fight back with all your might! ”

Zheng Zhi's eyes were about to split, and he looked at Tagawa Nanazaemon fiercely, and roared angrily: "Jiro, you coward, the other party's warship is equipped with a flowering cannon, why didn't you say it earlier!" Bastard, bastard! ”

Tagawa Nanazaemon's face turned pale, and he snorted: "Uncle, I, I've patronized and urged the pursuit, and I forgot about it......

"Damn bastard!"

Zheng Zhibao was really anxious, and kicked Tagawa Nanazaemon to a heel fight, this handsome ship, but it cost the Zheng family thirty or forty thousand taels of silver, and invited Western craftsmen to build it, and spent a lot of money, if it was ruined because of such a small mistake, and returned to Fuzhou, the eldest brother would definitely not spare two people!

"Quick, give the order, the handsome ship retreats backwards and dodges the shelling of the imperial navy!"

At this time, the warships of the Fujian Navy Division also began to fire, launching a rapid attack on the Imperial Navy Division in front of them, more than a hundred warships, the number was almost twice that of the Imperial Navy Division, and the landing brought great pressure to the Imperial Navy Division, if it was really a long-term battle, the Imperial Navy Division would be defeated, even if the artillery was more powerful, there was absolutely no chance of victory.

However, the four main battleships, after receiving Zheng Haotian's order, are now frantically attacking the handsome ships of the Fujian Navy Division, ignoring the surging cannonballs of the other side, one shell after another fell on the surrounding sea, setting off huge waves, shaking the distance that the battleship propelled, and even solid cannonballs fell on the deck, directly smashing the plywood out of a big pit, and even smashing the ship's side, the four main battleships are still a crazy charge, with only one goal, that is, the handsome ship! Be sure to kill the handsome ship of the Fujian Navy!

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides has been shortened to within three miles, at this time, it is not only the flowering cannon that is powerful, but also the rocket, on the four main warships, there are more than a dozen rocket launchers, once this thing is powerful, the damage to the warship is not inferior to artillery!

"Squeak Squeak......"

The four main battleships launched the rockets almost at the same time, and the warships were shaking violently, and at the same time, the handsome ships of the Fujian Navy Division were also rapidly retreating, with more than a dozen rockets, and less than half of the rockets fell on the handsome ships, but only these five or six rockets brought a devastating blow to the handsome ships of the Fujian Navy Division!

A rocket dragged a huge tail flame through the air, the violent high temperature, directly ignited the sail, the huge sail, under the blowing of the north wind, directly burned, the handsome ship, like plugged in two fiery wings!

"Firefighting, firefighting!"

Zheng Zhibao and Tagawa Nanaemon are really red-eyed, not afraid of solid bullets, afraid of fire, water and fire are ruthless, a fire down, in the huge and sturdy warship, but also to be wiped out, this is a handsome ship, once it sinks, how can the Fujian Navy still fight? A snake can't fly without a head, and a bird can't fly without a head......

However, Zheng Zhibao and Tagawa Nanazaemon are anxious, and now Zheng Haotian is also very anxious, the firepower of the warships of the Fujian Navy Division is also not weak, the combat experience of the officers and men of the Navy Division is rich, and the combat power is really good, and the cannonballs go straight to the warships of the Imperial Navy Division, you must know that most of these warships are old ships that came from Dongting Lake, and the new ships are good to say, they can withstand the destruction, but the old ships are not good, where can they endure it?

Hit by a few shells, I'm afraid I can only wait to sink.

Race against time, now is the race against time, we must repel the Fujian sailors, we must beat the opponent's handsome ship completely out of combat power before the winner is decided!

Not only the four main battleships, but also the other battleships behind also aimed most of their firepower at the handsome ships of the Fujian Naval Division, and now there were more than 100 shells in the sky, more than 200 battleships on both sides, and the shells fired at the same time were close to 1,000 rounds!

The firepower of the four main battleships that rushed forward was also the greatest, and the shells of the Fujian Navy Division fell on the battleships, and the battleships were seriously damaged.

Fortunately, the Fujian Navy Division is not equipped with flowering bullets, they are all solid bullets, unless the warship is completely penetrated, otherwise, even if it is seriously damaged, it is just that the combat power is damaged and sunk, and it will not be for a while.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and the four main battleships alone had fired nearly 1,000 shells, and the barrels of the guns on the battleships were already red, and many of the guns on the battleships were destroyed by the shells of the Fujian Navy Division, so they really couldn't last long.

On the opposite side, the handsome ship of the Fujian Navy Division was even more beaten, the flames were raging, and the entire handsome ship had been shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder, even if there were five or six hundred people on the warship, it was impossible to extinguish the fire at all, and it was even more impossible to command the operation, and the nearest Fujian Navy warship could no longer see the command flag on the handsome ship!
