Chapter 275: Single Dutch ship

The Dutch ship is well-equipped and well-staffed, with more than 400 people.

I went to Manila, an area controlled by the blasphemy country (Spain is a Catholic country, and the domestic religious atmosphere is strong, but the Dutch think they are blasphemy-the Spanish prepared a large number of so-called "sacred bones" "Holy artifacts", the Dutch believed that they were all fakes, and they were deceived badly before), and had to be more careful. Merchant ships prepared 32 cannons (only 22 cannons for general business activities), including 12-pound cannons. There are 20 (installed on the gun deck) and 12 of the 4-pounder cannon (installed on the open deck). Depending on the size of everyone's ship, the Dutch captain Herbert is full of confidence in victory.

The officers and soldiers on the Kaohsiung No. 8 were smiling and ready to make a fortune!

Cruise ships are actually more dangerous than battleships. Battleships are the most important weapons of the country. They are not easily dispatched. No one will use battleships to patrol!

There are generally only two types of service for battleships, one is training and the other is fighting, sometimes just going out to do shows.

In addition to the above two duties, the cruise ship also has a patrol function, which is responsible for guarding, protecting fishing, escorting and other functions. The possibility of unexpected encounters with the enemy is very high, so the officers and soldiers on the ship are very dangerous.

But cruise ships are also good, that is, to obtain spoils at sea, that is, to seize enemy ships and draw water from it!

There are two main ways to obtain trophies at sea. 1. Capture the enemy's merchant ships. This is a relaxed and enjoyable thing. Of course, the Navy will also stipulate that it cannot go on doing this when there is a military combat mission. Second, capture enemy warships. The navy will buy it from the captain at the market price and pay the captain a head fee of 5 silver dollars per person. The number of captains is calculated according to the number of people on the enemy ship at the time of the war (so that even if the enemy ship is sunk, the captains will not Empty hands, after the bounty, the crew divides the money by level). Capturing enemy warships will also help increase the captain's reputation (draw a star on the ship gang), and be able to put him in a job with a lot of oil and water to do a better job in the future.

The time is right now. There is no military mission on the Kaohsiung No. 8, and it is ready to rob the passing ships.

The ancestors bless this ship with gold and silver! (Mazu Niangniang is depressed: It seems that the priesthood of the **** is all-encompassing? So tired!)

...

At first the "Dutch Province" moved from north to south at a constant speed, while the Kaohsiung No. 8 went against the wind. It approached the "Dutch Province". When the two ships intersected, they were still a bit far apart. The 18-pounder gun was on board. The gun fired, three in two, and it fired chain bullets. This time I was not so lucky, and only cut some of the cables of the "Dutch Province", but failed to break the mast.

Then Kaohsiung 8 turned sharply, and its small turning radius surprised the "Holland Province".

Following a series of actions by the sailors, the Kaohsiung No. 8 caught the wind. It chased the "Dutch Province" still heading south, and the distance between the "Dutch Province" was quickly approached, not in minutes, but in seconds. , Kaohsiung 8 followed the bow of the "Dutch Province" and aimed at the stern of the "Dutch Province", and was affected by its wake, which slightly aggravated the turbulence, and the officers on the Kaohsiung No. 8 scolded again. : "There is no bow gun!"

This time is a good time to use the bow gun to attack. Fortunately, the opponent does not have a tail gun, otherwise the Kaohsiung 8 will have to eat other people's P bombs.

The "Holland Province" did not accelerate when it encountered the enemy. It seemed to be waiting for the Kaohsiung 8 (good! Like them, the Dutch are also warlike), and the Kaohsiung 8 sailed steadily with full sails, and soon, it Catch up, its starboard side is opposite to the port side of the Dutch Province.

Before everyone could be parallel, the side cannon of the "Holland Province" fired first, bursting into bursts!

The sound of the artillery was deafening. Kaohsiung No. 8 was shot in succession. The shells hit Kaohsiung No. 8 with as many as ten!

The Dutch artillery art is not bad, the sawdust flies wildly, everyone can't help but shrink their heads, and the lower part is tight.

"Accelerate! Accelerate! You are not allowed to fire before you get close to it!" Hong Xiguan shouted, watching the bows on both sides not far from each other, and ordered: "A salvo!"

The fourteen cannons of the cruise ship attacked at once, and the gunners were refreshed, 14 in 12!

Sure enough, Mazu blessed!

The port side wall of the "Holland Province" was opened everywhere, and the powerful 18-pounder gun made the merchant ship's large body pitch to the right as if it had been eaten by the wind, and the helmsman was surprised to feel that the rudder effect was heavy.

The distance between the two sides was close. Everyone saw the muzzle of each other's black holes. It was not good. The artillery of the "Dutch Province" was reloaded, and it ignited again. The flames appeared dazzling in the dense smoke, and a strip of white smoke burst out quickly. Be blown away by the wind.

This was a volley. The opponent found that they were short on talent, and came 16 out of 13, and the gunner was really not bad!

At this terrible moment, Officer Hong Xi was actually a little distracted, thinking that if the ship was captured, could the white crew members join the Southeast Fleet? Anyway, what they are doing is the work of making the whole world a home, as for the indigenous crew members.

He sternly said: "Don't shoot, get closer!"

The helmsman turned to the right according to his instructions. The two boats were quite close and seemed to be stuck together. Let's dance the face dance!

The musket fired like popping beans.

One minute later, the "Dutch Province" disappeared, shrunk alive, and fell unlucky.

"Thank Mazu for your blessing, let us have such a good commander!" Everyone thanked Mazu again. Young Master Yan has equipped everyone with too many muskets!

The distance is so close, the double-barrel spray can also be used to fight over, the firepower is doubled, and there are many other guns, the firepower is fierce, and the Dutch have to bow their heads!

"Fire!" Kaohsiung No. 8 came with a second round of volleys.

The opponent is a large merchant ship, so the hull of Kaohsiung 8 is lower than it, and its main artillery is facing the lower port side of the opponent's ship. Therefore, the shells fired by Kaohsiung 8 made the opponent full of energy, and the shells penetrated the opponent's hull. Here, the damage caused by the 18-pounder gun was particularly great, and every hit would make a big hole, surrounded by ugly cobwebs and fissures.

14 in 14!

It's too fierce! The officers and soldiers on the Kaohsiung No. 8 cheered. Most of them were shouting Mazu blessings. Our army was victorious. Some unscrupulous guys provocatively learned to use Dutch to greet the wife and daughter of the other side’s house, and said, "We ate. Guinea pig!" (There is a Chinese Luzon ship owner who has been to Batavia on this ship, his surname is Song, he can speak Dutch)

The other party had no time to talk back, because everyone heard the chaotic shouts from the other ship, and then the Dutch ship’s guns rang again. This time it was 16 out of 8, and the hit rate was only half of the mere half of the shot. Obviously they had just been shot. There were a lot of casualties in their team sequence, resulting in lost attacks.

Kaohsiung's No. 8 is a volley every time, it is extremely accurate and fast!

Those officers and soldiers were enthusiastic as if they had been beaten in blood~www.wuxiaspot.com~ volleyed eight rounds in an average of ten minutes!

One shot in 1.25 minutes, this is the quality of a top gunner!

The Dutch ship returned six rounds of cannons, and the more they went to the back, they became more sparse and the hit rate was poor.

At this time, the Chinese shipowner Song who shot the gun on the open deck grabbed Hong Xi's arm and said: "I heard them say that they are ready to board the ship!"

The opponent's artillery battle is unfavorable, and he is ready to fight side by side.

Officer Hong Xi immediately ordered the signal soldiers to beat the drum, and also organized the troops to prepare to kill the opponent's ship!
