The ships on both sides fired cannons while advancing rapidly, and a large number of cannonballs hit the sea, forming magnificent waves.
Although the scene was very beautiful, the commanders of both sides were not satisfied with it, because most of the artillery fire from both sides hit the empty space, and few hit the target. This result occurred because of the speed of the ships moving in the opposite direction.
They are both very fast, and the opponent's target is also very small. It is really difficult to aim and focus on the opponent on the bumpy sea.
"Quick, quick, rush up, get entangled with them, prepare to join forces!" A burly man in black shorts and an eye patch stood on the bow of the ship and kept urging his men to speed up. He shouted
Dulong is a famous warrior under Zheng Zhibao, and he is also famous for his knife skills. He is in charge of ten Cangshan boats. One of his eyes was blinded by a bow and arrow while fighting Liu Xiangbu. At this moment, he is
He rushed to the front with ten Cangshan boats under his command.
The Zheng Family Military Group's more than ten years of piracy career was not in vain. In their more than ten years of piracy career, what they were best at was actually gang-hopping tactics. The so-called gang-hopping tactics refer to jumping from one ship to another to follow the enemy.
Engage in hand-to-hand combat.
It sounds simple, but gang-hopping is the riskiest of all tactics. On a rough sea, stand on the side of a ship that is constantly bumping, prepare to jump on another ship that is also bumping, and then go very fast.
On a departing ship, this kind of action is no joke. The sea is no different than others. It seems that some people may say that the worst thing is to fall into the sea and just swim back to the ship. In fact, this is not the case.
If he accidentally fell into the sea, he would often end up being hit by a speeding ship, or squeezed into a burrito by two crossing ships.
Therefore, in the West, pirates often call gang-hopping a game for the brave. Due to the need for daily plunder, the Zheng Family Group is best at this type of warfare. They often jump on those who are unwilling to surrender to them.
On the ship where the protection fee was paid, the valuable cargo on the ship was plundered, and then all the people on the ship were killed before finally leaving.
Today, Zheng Zhibao also used their best tactic, hoping to use this tactic to quickly defeat the opponent's Clippers, and then use their numerical advantage to surround the opponent's big ship, and then defeat the opponent. If they can defeat the opponent's dozens of
It would be better if a large ship was also captured. He had long coveted these dozen large ships of the Qingzhou Navy.
The distance between the two fleets was quickly shortened, and now they were less than 200 meters apart.
Dulong stared closely at the oncoming Qingzhou Navy, stared ahead without blinking and shouted: "Brothers, fuck this guy! Get ready to join the gang!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Before Dulong finished speaking, there was a crisp sound of gunfire from the front, accompanied by bursts of white smoke, Dulong
When I turned around in surprise, I found that many brothers on my ship had already collapsed on the deck.
"No, that's the sound of a musket!" Dulong heard it immediately. He couldn't believe his eyes. The distance between the two sides was a full 140 or 50 steps. How could the opponent's musket hit?
It doesn't make sense to have to go so far!
"No, hide quickly, hide! Don't be exposed on the deck!" Dulong has rich combat experience and knows that the best way to deal with cannons is to find a place to hide. But this order was given too late.
Just now, many sailors on the Cangshan ship had already armed themselves with cold weapons and stood on the bow of the ship, ready to fight the other side. Because in their opinion, the distance of more than a hundred steps was not enough for the two sides who were rapidly approaching in opposite directions.
It took less than a cup of tea, but they never expected that the sound of blunderbuss could be heard on the other side's ship.
Speaking of muskets, they are not without muskets. Each of their ships is equipped with four muskets. However, these pirates who pride themselves on being brave prefer to use their swords to conquer cowardly merchants. The usage rate of muskets is really high.
There were too few. Now when I encountered such a dense volley of guns, I didn't know what to do for a while. Many sailors stood stupidly on the deck and were killed.
Qingzhou's fast cruiser is a light speedboat known for its speed. Its combat effectiveness is similar to that of the Cangshan ship, but it is much larger than the Cangshan ship. Not only is it equipped with ten Napoleon six-pound cannons, but each ship has
There were also fifty-six sailors armed with Mini rifles. Their mission was to use the rifles in their hands to eliminate the exposed sailors on the enemy ship. Therefore, when the speed of both sides approached two hundred meters, they did not hesitate to pull the trigger.
The trigger!
"Quick! Reload quickly!"
One fast cruiser after another quickly passed through the clouds of white mist rising from the muzzle of the gun. The soldiers on the ship also took out Mini bullets with warheads and gunpowder from the oilcloth bags on their waists, and quickly stuffed them into the guns.
mouth, then pulled out the purge bar under the barrel and stabbed it a few times quickly. In this way, the loading work was quickly completed.
"Prepare, release!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Waves of white mist rose again, and another group of sailors fell on the fast-moving Cangshan ship. This time, because the speed of both parties was closer, more people were hit.
"We can't let the other side continue to fight like this, otherwise our people will die!" On the ship, the first mate still tried hard to persuade Zheng Zhibao.
"Are you telling me to retreat now? The battle has already reached this point. How do you want me to withdraw my troops? The only thing we can do now is to lean in and fight them with our lives, you know?" Zheng Zhibao, furious, pointed forward and shouted loudly.
Shouting angrily, a thunderous voice spread throughout the entire blessing ship.
While they were talking, the clippers of both sides were already in contact. It was originally a good time for the sailors of the Zheng family to jump into gangs, but unfortunately, at this time, the sailors who were frightened were beaten by Mini rifles on the clippers of the Qingzhou Navy.
At this time, they were hiding on the side of the ship with their heads hunched, not daring to muster up the courage to stand up, because many of their companions had just told them bloody lessons, even though the consequences of standing up would be to be beaten into a hornet's nest by random gunshots.
Then a very strange scene occurred. The clippers of both sides passed each other on the sea, but none of the Zheng family sailors who were supposed to jump on the enemy ship and fight hand-to-hand with the opponent dared to stand up. And the sailors who were supposed to be the first to jump on the enemy ship did not dare to stand up.
A group of people jumped onto the enemy ship, but Dulong's eyes were wide open at this moment, and his eyes were always showing a fierce light, but he rolled his eyes and stared blankly at the sky. He was dead, and was killed by a gun just as he was about to contact the Qingzhou Navy.
