Chapter 180: Great Battle (2)
With a dull sound of "Peng!", like wood chips flying all over the sky, a guard standing beside Yan Changwu fell down. Although he was holding a shield, he didn't know where a broken cannonball came. The block hit his forehead.
The upstairs was stained with blood, and Yan Changwu stood upright. Regardless of the danger of gunfire, he stood on the backstairs to supervise the battle.
As one of the most eye-catching large ships, it is inevitable that it will receive the attention of the Dutch. Except for shelling, the ubiquitous cold guns. The Dutch shot down from the mast to the officers and soldiers on the deck. Yan Changwu was one of the main targets. One, he was prepared long ago, and the guards wore heavy armor and shields to form a tortoise shell formation.
Even so, half of the guards around him were killed by artillery fire, and even Admiral Shui Shen was injured.
The other big ship, Taiwan, was even worse. Unsurprisingly, the black warrior Siresma was very eye-catching. The Dutch artillery shot at him. The guards around him were also equipped like Yan Changwu, but they were changed. One time!
But the crew on the Taiwanese know the situation, their captain can't die! They took the **** shield and acted as a meat shield, desperately defending this Dutchman!
The Dutch beat the Dutch fiercely, while the Chinese were defending the Dutch. This battle is really ridiculous.
It’s amazing that Siresma was unscathed. No matter whether it was shells, bullets or wooden blocks, he failed to hit him. He was brave enough to be called "Maytheforcebewithme" (the force was with me).
But the other people on his ship suffered heavy casualties. The three helmsmen were killed one by one, and Siresma took over the steering wheel himself!
Both sides are fighting desperately. During the battle, the Southeast Fleet’s lead ship "Kaohsiung One" failed to complete the enemy's battle line. Under the enemy's repeated attacks, it was not sunk, but losses continued to come!
"Report, we lost the last gun!" A **** non-commissioned officer ran up from the gun deck and said sadly.
There were eighteen artillery pieces on the gun deck, all of which were destroyed. One can imagine how fierce the artillery battle was.
Eighteen guns were placed on the starboard and starboard sides. Under the Dutch shelling, the nine starboard guns were destroyed (unusable). The scene was cleared, the port guns were pulled to the right, and then nine guns. Also reimbursed.
The artillery is still like this, and the people are even more unbearable. The bulwarks and decks are **** and bloody, and the screams and groans of people make it a **** hell.
The gunners almost all lay down, and Costitte’s deputy captain was unsure whether he was dead or not.
That non-commissioned officer is the only remaining senior military officer on the gun deck. Kostit heard his report. Before saying anything, he heard the roar of cannonballs.
"bump!"
was beaten so accurately. The mainmast of Kaohsiung No. 1 collapsed and pressed two sailors who hadn't paid attention to avoiding underneath. One of the sailors was struck in the chest and abdomen, vomiting blood one after another, in critical condition.
The foremast of Kaohsiung No. 1 broke prematurely. Without the main foremast, the speed was greatly reduced, and the guns were gone. Even the artillery on the open deck was mostly destroyed. The officers and soldiers fired directly with the barrel!
……
Cheng Yu, the captain of the Kaohsiung 3 behind Kaohsiung 1, is a 20-year-old little Maotou. He saw the red cross flag hung by Kaohsiung 1, indicating that the ship was out of control.
Kaohsiung No. 1 withdrew from the battle line and is no longer the lead ship, and no longer assumes the responsibility of piloting!
Cheng Yu’s captain said to him: "Sir, you have been promoted, now you are the leader!"
"Sir, your order?" People urged him.
"Raise the leader flag, I am the leader!" Cheng Yu took a deep breath.
A red flag embroidered with the head of Aries was raised (similar flags have been removed from the Kaohsiung No. 1 ship). Being a head ship is an honor and a dangerous job. He soon knew how powerful it was!
Cannonballs are coming, cold guns are everywhere!
His battleship trembled in waves, and it was repeatedly hit by artillery shells.
Sometimes, the entire ship was swayed by the 24 pound heavy artillery, and people couldn't stand still.
The officers and soldiers around him kept falling down, they were knocked down by shells, bullets and wooden blocks!
Cheng Yu's scalp was numb, and he immediately realized his danger. He saw with his own eyes a gunman on the mainmast of the enemy ship aiming at him!
The gunman shot. Fortunately, I don’t know where the bullet flew!
He immediately understood what to do, so he was surrounded by flesh shields, and the officers and soldiers used their bodies to protect him.
He can't die!
If it dies, the ship loses its commander, and it will ruin the entire Southeast Fleet if it is not the leader of the ship!
……
"Damn! Damn! Damn British!" Sonker, the commander of the Dutch flagship "Prometheus", gritted his teeth.
His battleship had just had a high-level dialogue with the "Southeast", and the two sides bombarded with a round of shelling, and the "Prometheus" was lost!
was bombed into a mess on the ship, and it was as miserable as being stepped on by ten thousand grass and mud horses.
Dead death, wounded wound, rotten rotten, broken and broken!
Songke really wants to cry without tears, doubly hate the British guy who sold the huge ship to the Ming people!
It’s true that there is no mistake. To a certain extent, the British have achieved their goals and caused the Dutch to shed a lot of blood.
But he had some luck. Fortunately, the British did not deliver the last two battleships to Mingren to use, otherwise, this battle would not be necessary!
The power of the giant ship is not the same, he was so angry that he turned his eyes back, while Yan Changwu on the Southeast was full of spirits, "You are all hyenas, even lions!"
The hyena is the second hero on the African Animal Heroes list. The leader is the lion, but the lioness has to retreat to the hyena one-on-one, but when the male lion comes out, even if it is a large group of hyenas, they let the male lion. .
The lion is strong and powerful, and is good at a one-hit kill~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Yan Changwu drives the Southeast, using a salvo of combat methods, every time a volley blasts a Dutch battleship to lose its temper.
As for the flagship of the striker, Taiwan, due to excessive damage, suffered a lot of damage to its artillery, and a severe shortage of gunners, resulting in a sharp drop in firepower, but Siresma still drove it to attract enemy fire.
The artillery battle lasted for two hours, and the battle lines of both sides were about to end (the head ship of the Southeast Fleet approached the last battleship of the Dutch fleet). The results are as follows:
None of the warships surrendered, the Dutch were sunk two, and none of the Southeast Fleet was sunk.
The battleship during the sailing period is difficult to be sunk unless it is unlucky.
However, five ships of the Dutch fleet left the battlefield because they lost their combat effectiveness, and only three of the Southeast Fleet left the battlefield, but the Dutch still maintained the advantage.
The current sea waves are not small, but the captains of the two fleets still maintain the battle line because of their ability to control the ship, except that the Dutch stand in the upper wind and the Southeast Fleet has become the disadvantage.
"Five compass points to the left, go forward!" Cheng Yu ordered, determined to gain the upper hand by opening the distance!
'S glory as the head ship is full, no matter how big the warships behind, they must follow him. Behind the head ship drags a long fleet, which is magnificent.
"Damn it!" Songke cursed again, because the Southeast Fleet actually regained the upper hand!
There are a lot of good sailors among the Dutch, but the opponent’s boat is brisk and shows no mistakes.
The opponent's guns are ruthless, and they have good ship control capabilities, so Songk realized that this trip was not easy.
After two hours of competition, Cheng Yu fired again. The second battle kicked off. This time it was his turn to attack the opponent with port guns.
