Chapter 651: Brothers, Blood Is Thicker Than Water
"Chief Captain, is he right for Miss Ling'er? Is he right for Fu Wanchun? Is he right for the First Emperor?" Qian Yunfei sneered.
"Ah! So Brother Qian...why didn't you tell me earlier? Then we wouldn't have to come here to fight at all. Why don't we just leave?" Chen Longhu said.
"Where to go?" Qian Yunfei asked.
"You can go anywhere, I will follow you anyway, the world is big..." Chen Longhu said.
"The world is so big, there is no place for you and me!" Qian Yunfei shook his head, looked back and said to a brother behind him, "You call all the brothers on the ship and tell them that I, Qian Yunfei, are going to go with the Russians.
We will fight to the death. Those who are willing to stay will stay, and those who are willing to leave will put down the boat and send them away."
The brother agreed and went.
After a while, several small boats were seen being put into the sea, and dozens of people on board rowed as fast as they could, heading towards other warships.
"The Anding sent a signal and asked us what we are going to do?" The flag officer came over to report.
"Tell him Zhu Tianfu that I am going to risk my life." Qian Yunfei waved his hand, "Raise the sails, move forward at full speed, and be ready for battle!"
The brothers on the remaining nineteen battleships all saw the flag signal sent by Qian Yunfei, and they were all shocked. What is Hall Master Qian doing?
Blatantly betraying the Tianxuan Society and the chief helmsman?
Immediately afterwards, he saw the semaphore sent by the Anding again, but it was Zhu Tianfu who ordered everyone to open fire on Qian Yunfei's flagship Pingyuan!
Everyone saw the semaphore, but they didn't execute it immediately. They waited until the Pingyuan was speeding out of range, and then fired a few symbolic shots...
"Is that a battleship from Yizhou Navy?" Li Shi couldn't help being surprised when he saw Qian Yunfei's battleship coming alone.
"Yes, it is Qian Yunfei's flagship." Liu Haishan said.
"What did he say?" Li Shi saw a flag signal coming from Qian Yunfei's ship, but he didn't recognize it either.
"We are brothers, blood is thicker than water." Liu Haishan said solemnly.
"Well, there are still sensible people in Tianxuanhui, but how few are there?" Li Shi sighed and replied to me, "We live and die together and we will face the national calamity together!"
When the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty saw Prince Li Shi personally leading the flagship to charge, they all understood that this battle must involve risking their lives, because if Prince Li Shi died, there would be no way for everyone to survive!
Instead of doing this, it would be better to risk your life with the Russians and die a more heroic death.
Ross's more than 20 armored warships formed a battle formation horizontally, and all the artillery on the side of the ship were activated. The huge recoil even shook their armored warships and moved them several feet away.
The warships of Dazhou and the pirate ships also opened fire with all their strength, because this was the moment of decisive battle between the two sides, and they would meet each other naked soon, so there was no need to save firepower. All the cannonballs had to be poured out before the two sides got close!
The two sides soon got close to each other and became entangled. They were too close to each other and no one dared to fire, because it would be easy to accidentally injure friendly forces.
Moreover, after a day of fierce fighting, the artillery shells have been almost exhausted, and now is the time for hand-to-hand combat with bayonets and blood.
First, the soldiers on both sides of the deck exchanged fire with muskets. The Russian muskets had a longer range and greater lethality. Although the pirates also had the world's first-class firearms, they were of different lengths and types, and they could not fire like the Russian soldiers.
That's how we fired volleys and volleys.
Therefore, in the musket battle, the Russians took advantage.
As you get closer, the bows and crossbows of the Zhou Dynasty navy begin to show off their power. In terms of the accuracy of the bows and arrows, the Russians are far inferior. The wind on the sea is not very strong now. At a distance of only a dozen steps, the power of the bows and arrows is even higher.
On muskets.
After all, muskets need to be reloaded after one round, and their speed is not as fast as bows and arrows.
As they got closer, the two sides began to throw javelins, kerosene bottles, and lime bottles at each other. There were some triangular iron diamonds in the lime bottles.
These iron diamonds will be scattered on the deck. If the opponent accidentally steps on them, they will immediately penetrate the instep and bleed!
The large warships of the Great Zhou Navy were almost the same as the Russian ironclads, and even the sides of the ships were slightly higher than the ironclads, and the two sides collided without losing any ground.
After the two ships approached, both sides lowered the planks on their own ships almost at the same time. The soldiers passed quickly along the planks and entered the most brutal hand-to-hand combat!
The captains of the pirate ships have also learned well. They know that their ships are too small to get close to each other, so they do not approach the Ross ironclad. Instead, they dock next to the Dazhou battleship and climb to Dazhou through pedals or rope ladders.
On the battleship, and then together with the Zhou soldiers, they launched a charge against the enemy ship...
Fortunately, before the war started, Li Shi put all of them in the battle armor of the Great Zhou Navy. Otherwise, these Westerners would look similar to the Russians. Once a melee broke out, there would definitely be accidental injuries!
Wilson is right. Pirates are not only the most vicious robbers in the world, they are also the most awesome sailors and the bravest warriors on the sea. These guys live on the ship for many years and rarely land a few days a year, so for them
Generally speaking, the deck in the waves is far more stable than on land.
Sometimes you see some sailors staggering and stumbling ashore while walking ashore. Please don’t get me wrong. They are not drunk, they are just used to rocking on the ship and are not used to walking on land for a while...
Both the Dazhou Navy and the Ross Navy are well-trained warriors, and both sides are quite organized when fighting. Seven or eight people can form a small battle formation, and there is also a certain degree of cooperation between the spearmen and swordsmen, so that the combat efficiency is improved.
will be greatly improved.
But the pirates never had any rules when it came to fighting, and they ran around waving scimitars, howling, and running around.
Some guys were so excited to kill that they forgot it was a battle and thought it was robbery. They kept killing and went straight to the cabin...
There was no gold or silver in the battleship's cabin, only wounded soldiers.
If you were a soldier of the Zhou Dynasty, you would definitely not kill and wound the soldiers indiscriminately, but the pirates don't care about this at all, they just ask you if you are a Russian!
First chop him to death and then search his body for all valuable things!
Of course, this is just an isolated phenomenon, most pirates are still calm...
Liu Haishan took the lead and rushed to the enemy ship first, slashing down a Russian soldier with his sword.
Because the armor he wore was different, it was a red robe embroidered with black tigers, and there was a red tassel on his helmet. The Russian soldiers knew that he was an officer and general, so of course they had to take special care of him. Four spearmen surrounded him insidiously.
On his flanks, guns were fired at his flanks.
Liu Haishan swung the sword with his right hand to cut off the two spear heads, grabbed a long spear with his left hand, pulled hard, pulled the brainless Russian soldier over, and chopped it into two pieces with one knife.
But there was no way to avoid the spear that pierced his ribs. Even though he was wearing chain mail, it was difficult to resist, but he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
I thought to myself, Lao Liu rushed a little too hard this time, it might be very bad...
