The Ningxia, where Feng Sihai was located, entered the battlefield diagonally from a few miles away from the east side. Just as Liu Tan and others had guessed, the Ningxia was cruising in the east channel, but the Fo Langji attack was launched from the west side.
Six warships from the other side rushed towards the area where the Yansui was located, and the two sides started a fierce battle. Feng Sihai could not sit still.
It has to be said that although Feng Sihai fought bravely, he was really lacking in strategy. Seeing that the Yansui was attacked by a large number of enemy ships, and the sea area where he was located was quiet and without any movement, Feng Sihai certainly hoped to come to help.
.
But he also forgot that Liu Tan did not send a signal for the Ningxia to come to assist, and not long ago Liu Tan also told him to stick to the sea area where he was, to defend his responsibilities, and there was no need to rush in. But Feng Sihai turned a deaf ear to it.
.
Of course, Feng Sihai means well. He has worked with Liu Tan for many years. Although Liu Tan and he have very different personalities, the relationship between the generals of Zhenwei Camp is quite harmonious. Especially Liu Tan, although he seems boring
Very, but very teaching
Feng Sihai would sometimes get into trouble, and Liu Tan would try his best to cover it up for him. Feng Sihai did everything he could to eat, drink, whore, and gamble. He was often short of money and would go to Liu Tan to borrow money.
Ask more questions.
In Feng Sihai's mind, Liu Tan is regarded as a good brother. Now that his good brother's Yansui is under attack and seems to have been hit by enemy artillery shells, Feng Sihai is naturally anxious. There is no enemy in the east sea at the moment.
How could he stand idly by? So regardless of the reminder from his lieutenant, Feng Sihai ordered the Ningxia to immediately reinforce the situation.
Not only that, in order to reduce the pressure on the Yansui, Feng Sihai ordered the light control to be lifted and the lights on the ship to be exposed. The purpose of this was to attract the enemy's attention and make the enemy divert their target towards him.
Feng Sihai had good intentions, but he destroyed the overall defensive posture and disrupted Liu Tan's combat strategy.
When the Yansui sent the signal, the Ningxia had already cut into the east side of the battlefield and entered the range of the artillery fire from both sides. At this point, it was impossible to retreat. Now that it was here, how could we not fight.
Feng Sihai chose to ignore the retreat order issued by the Yansui and ordered the gunners to fire on the two enemy ships in the southwest. At the same time, the enemy ships on the opposite side also launched an attack on the Ningxia.
On the dark sea, the flashes of artillery fire from both sides were as dazzling as lightning in the dark night. Large exploding flames and water columns burst on the sea, water splashed everywhere, and fragments rained down. The battle was extremely fierce.
The Ningxia's combat effectiveness was certainly not inferior. After taking a few shells, the Tiger Roaring Cannon's close-range shooting soon paid off. The two approaching Franco warships were hit by the Ningxia and set on fire.
After the fire broke out, it burned into a large area of flames, which was particularly dazzling on the dark sea.
The Franco soldiers on the two ships were running wildly in the firelight, shouting in panic. Some people had already begun to jump into the sea.
Feng Sihai stood on the deck and laughed loudly watching all this, and cursed in his mouth: "You son of a bitch, Fo Langjiren, let you know how powerful your grandpa Mazi is. Charge forward and sink them. Don't let them do it again."
Escaped."
"General Feng, we can't go forward, the distance is too close. The enemy has a large ship in the rear. Besides, the Yansui has already sent the signal to retreat for the third time." The general beside him reminded.
Feng Mazi scolded: "What are you afraid of? I'll take care of anything. There are two more ships behind. If we sink them together, won't they be in trouble? We'll sink two more ships, and today there will be six ships. Six or six great successes,
Hahaha."
Before Feng Mazi finished speaking, he heard a roar on the deck behind him. A ball of firearms exploded a few feet above the deck, less than two feet away from where Feng Mazi was standing. High-temperature flames and shock waves came crashing in, mixed with a large number of
Feng Mazi and the seven or eight generals and soldiers standing beside him fell to the ground. Two soldiers were directly thrown into the sea.
The Holy Cross ambush behind the two warships. After several rounds of firing, the ballistic trajectory has been corrected to be extremely accurate. When the two warships caught fire, the Holy Cross was a hundred steps behind them. The fire was dazzling and obscured the Holy Cross.
With the figure of the font size, the Holy Cross calmly fired a round of shells at the Ningxia.
The one that exploded next to Feng Mazi was one of them. Two more exploded under the mast, and one exploded at the stern. The sails began to burn, the stern also caught fire, and a corner of the middle cabin was destroyed. There was chaos on the ship.
group.
Feng Mazi got up with blood on his face and head. Several fragments were embedded in his face. He reached out and grabbed his forehead and pulled it off, tearing off a piece of flesh.
"Son of a bitch, son of a bitch. Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!" Feng Mazi yelled hoarsely.
The two lieutenants beside him were crawling on the ground motionless. They were hit in the vital parts by fragments of the explosion and had already been killed.
Feng Mazi leaned on his body and looked around. The blood on his forehead dyed his eyes red, turning everything around him into a blur of blood red. There were red and hot patches everywhere.
"Boom, boom!" Several violent explosions caused the hull to tremble violently, and violent smoke and fire appeared in the second-floor cabin. After a series of explosions, the entire Ningxia began to tremble.
"What's going on?" Feng Mazi fell on the deck again, but he quickly got up and wiped the blood on his face, shouting loudly.
"Reporting to General Feng, the gun cabin was hit by a bullet and exploded. The side of the ship was cracked and flooded. The ship... is probably going to sink." Several soldiers rushed over and reported loudly.
Feng Mazi's heart felt cold. Only at this moment did he realize that he had made a big mistake. His rash actions had extremely serious consequences.
"General Feng, an enemy ship is coming. What should we do?" More than a dozen soldiers rushed to report.
Feng Mazi wiped away the blood and looked in the direction of the two enemy ships burning in the fire. To their sides, a tall enemy flagship and an enemy centipede ship appeared in the blood-red field of vision, one on the left and one on the right.
"The Yansui ordered us to evacuate, evacuate immediately." the signal soldier shouted loudly.
Feng Mazi stood there, blood dripping from all over his body, and his mind was at a loss.
"We can't evacuate, brothers. The ship is tilting and is going to sink. Even if we barely turn around, we will be sunk by the two enemy ships. Brothers... we can't leave." Feng Mazi murmured.
Dozens of soldiers gathered on the deck were silent.
"I, Feng Mazi, can't help my brothers. I kowtow to you to apologize. I shouldn't have disobeyed orders." Feng Mazi knelt down and kowtowed to dozens of Ming soldiers.
All the soldiers shouted: "General Feng, why are we like this? Are we people who are afraid of death? General Feng doesn't have to be like this."
Feng Mazi stood up slowly and said in a deep voice: "Brothers who are good at water, dive into the water immediately to escape. General Liu will save you. Tell General Liu that Feng Mazi is stupid and can't help him."
"General Feng, let's go together." someone called.
"No, I won't leave. The Duke of Guo trusted me so much that he handed over the Ningxia to me, agreed to my self-recommendation, and let Liu Tan and I guard this waterway. What kind of trust was that. But I took care of the matter.
If it's smashed, how can I have the dignity to go back to see him? I can't abandon the Ningxia, this is my armored ship. I want to live and die with him." Feng Mazi said solemnly.
"General Feng..." everyone shouted.
"No need to say anything, you have to go quickly, I'm going to sail. I want to die with the bastards of Franz. They want to come up and capture us alive, hehe, they came just in time. I will sink him." Feng Mazi sneered.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and someone said loudly: "Let's go, brothers, and paddle. Even if my brothers on the Ningxia die, they will never be treated as pustules."
Everyone said in unison: "Yes, if we want to die together, let's do the oar and do the damn thing."
Everyone rushed to the deck where they were rowing, and they all looked at Feng Mazi.
Feng Mazi laughed loudly and said: "Good brothers, we are all good brothers. Since you are unwilling to leave, we will go on the road together. In the next life, I, Feng Mazi, will work as a bull and horse for you to atone for my sins. Brothers, give me the big ship in the southeast direction.
Run over and sink that son of a bitch."
Feng Mazi rushed to the side of Changlu and shook the oar with all his strength. Dozens of soldiers worked hard together, and the Ningxia began to turn its scarred body, like a seriously injured soldier, getting up and heading towards the Holy Land not far away.
Leave with the cross sign.
The Francois on the Holy Cross originally thought that the Ningxia was trying to escape, but they found that the other party was coming towards them. They were shocked for a moment before they suddenly realized that they were going to hit them.
"Turn the helm, turn the helm. Fire and sink him." The commander quickly ordered.
Boom boom boom, a series of explosions sounded on the Ningxia, and several shells hit the hull. The Ningxia's cabin collapsed, the mast collapsed, and half of the ferocious animal head was blown off.
The soldiers on the deck suffered seven or eight more casualties.
But all the soldiers did not flinch, and still shook the oars with all their strength. The fire all over the ship shone on their faces, and their faces actually had smiles. It was a smile that was indifferent to life and death.
"There are only a few close friends in this world, and how much love can last forever. Today I say goodbye and I shake hands with you, but my love is always in our hearts. Today is a temporary farewell. We will definitely be able to get together again, even if we can't meet each other.
We have always been lovers. It is said that there are thousands of miles of mountains separating two places. We don’t need to meet, but we know it in our hearts. Our feelings cannot be changed."
Zhang Mazi sang a song loudly, and all the soldiers sang too. The Ningxia dragged its broken and burning body and rushed towards the Holy Cross. The Holy Cross's artillery fire rumbled and it quickly evaded. But they were separated from the two burning enemy ships.
The ship came around from the east side, and the west side was occupied by the burning ship. It was approaching rapidly before, and it was only five or six hundred steps away from the Ningxia, with no room to move at all.
As everyone screamed in shock, the Ningxia crashed into the stern of the Holy Cross flagship with a rumble. The strong iron armor and heavy hull shredded the entire stern with huge inertia, and pressed on top of it.
"Damn it."
"Oh God."
Amidst the sounds of exclamations and curses, the two ships joined together tightly.
