Chapter 141 Water War 2
Seeing that the dynasty had all the fleets first, Shi Lang stopped defending his hand and pressed all the ships in his hand. The pirate ship was in front and the large warship was behind, moving forward quickly.
The pirate ship is agile and is even faster in the water than the Dutch Garen ship.
Moreover, the hull of a pirate ship is narrow and long, and it is not easy to be hit by artillery.
Among the fire nets composed of hundreds of Franciscannons of the Dutch, several were hit and sank directly into the sea. Some were injured, most of the soldiers on the ship were killed and injured, lost their motivation, and they were aimlessly wandering around the sea.
But more than half of the pirate ships rushed to the Dutch fleet and entered the blind spot of the artillery's vision, making it impossible for him to play his advantage any longer.
A pirate ship hit the nearest Dutch warship, and with a swaying sound, soldiers fell into the water.
Those who were still on the boat made a roar in unison, and countless rope-carved scratches were thrown out. He pulled hard and grabbed the hull tightly. Some short and naked soldiers held swords in their mouths and climbed up the rope with both hands. The remaining people either held bows and arrows, or fired at the bow of the boat, to cover them to board the boat.
"Bang bang bang!"
The Dutch held muskets and kept shooting downwards. Some used knives to cut ropes, while others stabbed people with spears to prevent the coalition soldiers from boarding the ship.
Some soldiers were shot or stabbed, and fell into the water straight from the bow of the boat.
Screams rang through the sky, blood stained the sea red, and corpses sank into the water and emerged again, floating on the water like wooden stakes.
In just a quarter of an hour, more than half of the fifty soldiers on the pirate ship that took the lead were killed or injured.
Fortunately, another pirate ship arrived in time. With the same operation, scratching and grabbing the hull first, sailors climbed up the edge, and covered with muskets and bows.
The deaths and injuries of the Dutch on the ship began to worsen, and soldiers were already able to climb to the bow. Although most of them were quickly killed by the Dutch, the situation began to develop in a good direction for the coalition forces.
"Boom!", with a loud bang, another pirate ship leaned over.
Next is the fourth, fifth, and sixth.
Six pirate ships surrounded the Dunke, the soldiers and sailors roared, climbing up regardless of their losses.
Yakob looked at the Dunke, drowned in the enemy ship, and punched the hull, "Silly Marco, don't obey my orders, but insisted on getting so close."
With a roar, water splashed everywhere, and a shell exploded not far away. Yakob was shocked and squatted down with his head in his arms.
When he realized that there was no danger, he turned around and saw eight Garen ships appearing behind the self-armed army at some point, forming a siege to press towards the self-armed army.
Jacob was surprised and suddenly changed color.
"General, Scole asks for help." The flag bearer above shouted.
Jacob squinted his eyes and saw that the Schole, located on the westernmost side, was firing with four enemy ships. The shells were in the air. On the ship, the water exploded, and several places were on the ship were on fire. He sank his heart, pondered for a moment, and ordered loudly: "Let Maha and Adams turn their heads westward to cover Skoal to withdraw. Earl and Xingbao, aim all the artillery at the Dunke and sink it immediately."
Jacob knew that the advantage of the self-armed army was that they had more Garen ships, and that each ship had far more Fran cannons than enemy ships. If they were allowed to seize the Dunke, the situation would be detrimental to the self-armed army.
Wang Gui kicked a Dutchman who looked like a general to the ground with a long knife pressed on his neck, shouting loudly, "Appoint them to surrender and not kill them."
Before the Dutch could reply, Wang Gui was suddenly pushed by someone. The long sword instantly slashed through the Dutch's neck, and blood spurted Wang Gui's face.
Wang Gui turned his head and saw Ma Liu's joking eyes, "Do you think these birds understand what you said? He also persuaded surrender and persuaded you to be tall!"
"Don't kneel down and disarm all the weapons, kill them." Ma Liu ordered the others loudly.
Wang Gui was furious, "Ma Liu, you turtle son, the one who dares to order me."
Ma Liu curled the corner of his mouth, "What's the matter? I was the first to board the ship, and this ship is me..." He suddenly stopped and looked up, his face changed.
"Walk!"
Ma Liu pushed him violently, and Wang Gui was pushed directly from the ship before he could react.
Wang Gui fell into the water while wiping the hull, and was forced to drink a few sips of bitter sea water. His wounds collapsed and his whole body felt as if it was broken. He was about to curse, but he saw countless shells explode on the ship. The Dutch ship instantly ignited a fire, and Ma Liu's figure disappeared.
Wang Gui was pulled onto a pirate ship. He looked at the tilted Dutch ship and his eyes were red, and he shouted loudly: "Cut off the rope and go after the Dutch."
Ma Liu and Wang Gui are both from Shandong, and they are from the same hometown. They are both in the army and are promoted to Qianzong. They compete with each other, but they have a good relationship with each other.
At this moment, Wang Gui had only one idea, to catch up with the Dutch and kill them.
The Dunke burned and sank into the bottom of the water. The Skor and Maha were covered with scars under the bombardment of eight Garen ships, and countless pirate ships and Zheng army warships were about to arrive near.
Jacob licked his lips nervously, "Where is Doro! Where is Doro? Why hasn't he defeated the enemy yet?"
With a rumbling sound, Yakob was stunned by the continuous loud noises like rolling thunder. A shell hit the gunpowder box on the Maha, ignited and exploded. The Maha broke into two sections directly from the middle and slowly sank into the sea.
The Schole was emitting black smoke, floating on the sea like a dead fish, and new shells kept hitting it.
Jacob looked at the tragic situation in front of him and was extremely frightened. "Let the Adams retreat, and we retreat to the east and go to reconcile with Doro."
At this time, Doro's morale was in full swing. With the eight Garen ships in his hand, two enemy ships had sunk, and at least six were seriously injured. Only one of his own ships was seriously damaged.
But the enemy ships seemed to realize that they could not win on the water alone. After suffering a lot of losses in the initial intensive attack, they gradually dispersed and chose to attack from all directions.
The Dutch warships were strong and moved quickly. Each ship was equipped with twenty-four artillery guns, but they were very small, only eight.
Facing the Zheng army ships that looked like wolves, they could only turn around at any time and try their best to hit the target.
But on the vast ocean, this seems so difficult.
What made Doro even more anxious was that these ships were entangled with them like ghosts, and did not give Dutch ships a chance to get close to the lucky ships in the rear. "They are delaying time." Doro thought to himself.
