Chapter 380: War pirates
I have to say that there is a huge difference between active duty and military academy studies. The exhaustion and pressure at work have made Chen Yuxue black and pretty, and people are thin, but the pressure makes people mature. As the number of posts goes on, the business is becoming more and more exquisite. The captains and deputy captains who came to patrol from time to time came fewer and fewer times when she was on duty, and the time became shorter and shorter, and eventually disappeared, and appeared by accident. It was assured that there were two hundred and sixty people and nearly 1,000 tons in this one. Handed over to the command of this two-year-old yellow-haired girl!
The crew went from being full of suspicion at the beginning to willingly accepting her orders-the facts were in front of her, she commanded the warship with confidence, the speed was fast, stable, and safe, and everyone had nothing to say.
The sea journey to Hoi An, Annan was very smooth. At the Daming port along the way, the flags of Daming Fujian Navy and Taiwan Guard were played on the 15th in Tainan, and the supplies were unimpeded.
Today, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangdong, Hainan, Zhejiang and even the Daming coastal areas north of the Yangtze River estuary are familiar with the Southeast Mansion and regard the Southeast ships as their own people. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
On the channel, the southeast warships came and went, and the merchant ships were densely packed with ships carrying export goods. They mainly carried silk, tea and porcelain, and everything that they thought could be sold, while the southeast government provided rice and meat to the mainland. , Kerosene, sugar, tobacco and alcohol, this is a golden waterway, a silver road, and the eight years of hard work of the Southeast Mansion has yielded fruitful results. The warships of the Southeast Mansion **** the waterways.
...
To Hoi An, Tainan's 15th entry and exit signal.
The officials who were officials discovered that this Mingren ship was actually commanded by a young woman, and they were shocked that their jaws fell out!
Captain Huang Min proudly showed off to Annan: "This is our'ship flower', unique!"
Chen Yuxue has a new feeling and understands how the word "vase" is written! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
They stayed in Hoi An for three days. The warship was busy with supplies and maintenance. Captain Huang Min took Chen Yuxue to meet with the officials in Hoi An, socializing with them and making friends with them. This was also a task of the warship's visit.
Chen Yuxue was very angry with the look of Annan monkeys fascinated by her. There is no doubt that if she had the skin of the Southeast Fleet, she would have been snatched into the mansion by the senior officials of Annan, and she would eat a big piece of it. !
Compared to the Annan monkeys, Hoi An City is still good, and the enthusiasm of the overseas Chinese in Hoi An is even more touching.
In Hoi An, there are Chinese-style buildings everywhere, including the Fujian Guild Hall, Guangzhao Guild Hall, Chaozhou Guild Hall, Qiongfu Guild Hall and Zhonghua Guild Hall. The hall is majestic and magnificent, golden and green, and the local green trees are cute, but the local accent can be heard from time to time in the exotic atmosphere.
The local overseas Chinese were extremely enthusiastic, taking turns to invite the banquets, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and the first-class wine. Chen Yuxue heard Captain Huang Min say that they were too polite, while the overseas Chinese said that as soon as the Southeast Palace battleship arrived, they were backstage for the overseas Chinese. Very polite! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
Seeing this beautiful girl puzzled, the overseas Chinese talked and talked about their previous family history. The Ming Dynasty ignored their lives and lives. The overseas Chinese were bullied overseas, and the life was bitter!
When the Southeastern warship arrived, the overseas Chinese had a much better life. Those who dare to bully them, the overseas Chinese only need to say: "We appeal to the Southeastern Government, and ask them to send gunboats!"
Yes, those people just stopped their coughing and treated them reluctantly. Therefore, overseas Chinese sincerely like the Southeastern warship to come--the Southeastern warship does not accept bribes, so it's nothing to invite them to eat!
...
Leaving Hoi An for a three-day cruise, the sea conditions were calm.
On this day, Chen Yuxue was resting in the room and heard the rapid ringing of a bell, which was a signal of preparation for battle. She quickly put on her helmet and armor and went up to the open deck.
Seeing that the ship is chasing a battleship similar to the cruise ship! &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The streamlined cruise ship has always been unique to the Southeast Mansion, and there is a copy similar to our own in the sea, that's it!
Calling the other party to stop the ship, the other party turned a deaf ear to it. If he didn't say anything, Captain Huang Min ordered a pursuit!
Then the other party raised a skull and crossbones flag, which was a pirate ship.
The upper mast was already open. Under the busy operation of the sailors, the foremast sails, mainmast branch sails and mainsail were also full of wind, causing the cruise ship to tilt to the right, blocking her sight to the right, and she bowed down. Looking to the right from under the former mainsail, the pirate ship is now turning around, and it is about to turn around in the headwind to grab the wind.
The pirates looked very arrogant, they yelled, whistled, and even beat the drums.
"Listen, what are they talking about?" Huang Min asked.
"It's Chinese!" someone said.
Are Chinese pirates equipped with cruise ship-style pirate ships? &1t;i>&1t;/i>
However, driving against the wind made them sluggish in front of the turtle. Even if they used all the sails, the boat still couldn't get on.
The Tainan No. 15 ship stirred up huge waves, and the splayed sails were stretched tightly to eat up the wind. Under the action of all the sails, it raised the speed to five knots, while the speed of the pirate ship was nothing more than the rudder. The effect is working, and it has begun to spin in the water, because it has entered an approximately evenly rotating tailwind zone. In that case, the wind will turn its unprotected stern to face the muzzle of the cruise ship. The distance is less than five hundred meters, and the distance is getting smaller and smaller. However, the pirate is not a fool. Chen Yuxue saw that the rear middle mast sail on it was attached to the mast, and the main mast and the fore mast were at right angles.
In this way, the wind will push the stern down, and the hull will turn in the opposite direction, making the two ships eventually parallel.
In terms of points, the opponent has 32 guns, and we have 38 guns. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
"We have the chance to win, fight it!" Captain Huang Min roared.
"Prepare! Do it!" Chen Yuxue cursed. The officers and soldiers were very happy when such a pretty girl swears!
The two ships approached further, and the wind pushed Tainan 15 to the front of the pirate ship. The distance of 300 meters passed. At about 250 meters, Captain Huang Min ordered the open deck gun to be the last gun. : "Fire at the bow of the pirate ship."
The gunner did what he ordered, and the gun pierced its foremast, causing the pirates to panic. They loosened the sail and dropped the sail.
"Grab the wind!"
The well-trained sailors act like arm-to-hand gestures. Many of them were brought by Captain Huang Min from his original cruise ship, and it was enough to quickly shake the fore mast.
At each gun position, the sailors guarded their posts, looked tense and kept silent. The gunner was facing the cabin solemnly, holding the ignited slow-ignition fuse in his hand, and blowing air at it from time to time to maintain a good burning state. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The gunners all squatted beside the barrel, staring at the pirate ship.
"Fight!" As soon as the words fell, the rumble of the gun sounded, and the intense smoke enveloped the sea. The recoil of the bombardment made the cruise ship tremble, even the keel, suddenly it seemed something was wrong, Chen Yuxue He subconsciously adjusted his clothes-----the gun smoke in front of me, and the sudden upwind blowing the gun smoke toward the cruise ship, the smoke was filled with poetry, but in fact it was murderous, and the crew members’ voices sounded from time to time in the gunfire. Screams!
"Turn the trusses." The captain called, hurriedly hitting the steering wheel and adjusting the warship to its original position. Although the adjustment was slow, it returned to its original position, so the second round of artillery fire started.
The sudden gust of wind just now changed the position of the stern of the pirate ship, the smoke cleared, and its gun responded. After the gunpowder dissipated, the officers and soldiers on the cruise ship cheered and the shelling effect came out. The stern and stern sides of the pirate ship were severely damaged, and the cabin windows and the small boat hanging on the side were smashed. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
The speed of the cruise ship gradually accelerated, and the two ships were almost side by side with the pirate ship, and the cruise ship was slightly back. Both ships are busy adjusting their sails to adapt to the wind direction.
Everyone sat in a row, eating shells, and firing shells at each other. The sound of the guns continued, the smoke billowed, and the white and black-gray smoke glowed with purple-red flames.
The bell rang, and the smoke became thicker, making the warship like falling into the cloud and fog, and the battle is rushing.
The artillery rumbling, you should shout loudly when you speak, the gunners gave orders, and the gunners fired angrily, bombarding each other’s hull as quickly as possible, and the alternate non-commissioned officers working in coordination with various departments ran around to help here. , Talk about there, and deal with any confusion at any time.
Gunpowder and artillery shells were delivered from the ammunition warehouse to the various gun positions in a very regular manner. The sailor and his deputies kept their heads up to check the sails in order to spot the damaged sails or cables in time. &1t;i>&1t;/i>
On the upper part of the mast, the sniper's musket snapping sound never stopped, and at the same time, the snipers on the opponent's mast also used color, and the opponent's artillery counterattacked, and the bullets rained!
The captain was directing the battle on the open deck. Not far to his left stood Chen Yuxue and Wen Li Qi Liming, and his right was the helmsman. When shells passed by or hit the body with a loud noise, None of them moved.
A shell flew a few meters in front of them and hit the iron frame of the ship's crane. Under the heavy blow, it shook the hanging boat down and fell onto the deck.
The shell was especially unbroken, rolling on the deck, and Huang Min said: "Second Lieutenant Chen, you can store it as a souvenir. This is your show!"
Chen Yuxue kept the twelve-pound shell away from goodness ~www.wuxiaspot.com~.
At this time, the pirate ship was already exhausted. It pulled up its sails and fled, and Tainan 15th followed closely!
Chasing twenty miles south, an island appeared in front of him, the pirate ship sailed on the island, and the Tainan 15th continued chasing off the outer edge of the island.
When the two ships chased the north and southeast of the island and entered the waters south of it, the lookout on Tainan 15 yelled.
Everyone's hearts were stunned, and after a closer look, another pirate ship appeared!
The first pirate ship turned, and it turned very fast. To make matters worse, the two pirate ships had the upper hand, and the two pirate ships were attacking from side to side, and they came to Tainan 15th!
