402 Water Ghost! Water Ghost!
The water ghost in Guotou Village became famous in this battle. This warrior holding a harpoon was like a sea god possessed, killing all directions under the boat. The two-foot-long harpoon was elusive. Three sailors were stabbed to death in the sea just in one encounter.
Corptoes floated up one by one, and the people on the deck watched the blood spread in the sea. The corpses appeared in front of them, and even traces of sharks swimming appeared in the distance.
"Hurry, hurry up... what are you all stupid, jump down quickly..." The captain of the Quick Stepper is almost crazy now. He can guess with his heels and know what these Chinese people want to do. There is no second choice except tied up.
Although the captain didn't know how these Chinese people were planning to ignite the fire, Europe already had very primitive trigger devices at this time. God knew whether Xiao Letian had imported some.
"No matter what conspiracy these Chinese people have, you have to eliminate hidden dangers... and continue to jump down and surround them!"
The side of the ship on both sides of the Clippers was like dumplings. French sailors were scattering and falling down. At this time, even the Broken Waves could not sit still. Although they couldn't figure out the situation, they knew that the situation was urgent. At this time, many sailors were in the water.
The sailor who swung the harpoon could no longer hold on. After stabbing the sixth sailor to death, the dying French sailor held the harpoon tightly, and the exhausted water ghost of Guotou Village could no longer be taken back.
The soldier who was swimming next to him flashed a dagger in his hand and stabbed into his back. The nameless fisherman bowed his whole body forward, his mouth wide open as if he was shouting.
Blood was spraying out from the wound and mouth. At the last moment before his death, he turned his head to look at his brother, but his eyes did not face the fear of death. It was actually relief and motivation.
Tears were salty, and they were salty in the sea. At that moment, the living water ghost felt that the sea was full of their tears. He stopped nailing it and let the hammer sink to the bottom of the sea. His right hand was tightly clutched the rope of the flintlock device, and he looked at the French sailors surrounding him and showed a sneer.
"Brother, don't go too far. Brother, I will go on the road with you! Brother, I'll avenge you!" His right hand suddenly exerted force, and the traction rope was pulled out of the wax seal at once. At that moment, a flash of sparks were drawn out of the flint.
Before the sea water could pour into the gap, the explosion was irreversible.
At that moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound on the sea surface, and the entire hull of the Quick Stepper was blown out of the water, and white waves rose up, and the entire battlefield was filled with exclamations.
All the French were stupid. They turned their heads and looked at the Climbinger, which was bombed into two sections. At that moment, people forgot that the killing was the battlefield.
The flames of the explosion ignited the gunpowder depot of the fast-paced man, and the chain reaction occurred in mid-air, booming... A series of explosions made the entire sea surface feel like a sun rising.
The sharks who were preparing to forage in the distance were frightened and they didn't know where they went. The corpses and debris of shipboard fell in the air.
The wave-breaker is now crazy. The distance of fifty meters is not far away, nor is it close. Although the power of the explosion cannot destroy the structure of his hull, fifty meters is the distance where the shock wave is raging, and countless sails just cover the power of the shock wave.
In everyone's sight, the Breaking Waves seemed to be pressed down by the Sea God with his invisible big hands, and the entire hull was almost at a forty-five-degree angle and was about to fall into the sea.
Fortunately, there is only one force in the shock wave. When the main shock wave swept across the sea, the wave-breaker jumped up from the sea like a loosened spring, and then smashed back to the sea.
It was this shock wave that saved the life of the Wave Breaker. The two water ghosts were just about to pull the traction rope when suddenly the shock wave in the sea came. They and the sailors around them were shocked and were stunned. The weak constitution was shocked and fainted on the spot.
Of course, one of them died when they fell into a coma in the sea. Two water ghosts from Guotou Village also threw the hammer at this time. They wanted to hold the bag with both hands and then pull the leash. Anyway, they didn't want to go back alive, so they died together.
But when they looked up, they found that the wooden strips that fixed the flintlock device had fallen off during this vibration, and the sea water had already penetrated into the flintlock device and the bag could no longer be lit.
Two water ghosts smashed the boat board with great energy, pulled out the harpoons from their waists and attacked the French sailors surrounding them.
Now the Beishan trench has become a sea of cheering. Everyone on the battlefield jumped up and waved their middle fingers at the sea regardless of life and death, "I fuck... I fuck... I fuck..."
This is the national slander that Xiao Letian taught the new army, and then the new army taught the people of Ryukyu. Now the people gave this middle finger to the French, and the anger of the massacre of the city has finally come out.
"Retreat... everyone retreats to the trenches!" Chu Zhao could still keep calm at the critical moment. He knew that the French would soon wake up from surprise, and the angry French would definitely launch a revenge charge.
"Hurry, stop cheering, go back to the trenches!" The soldiers dragged and pulled the young militia and retreated. At the same time, the French commander finally woke up from the shock and ordered the Marines angrily.
"Charge, avenge the Crazy Stepper! Damn savages, how dare you attack our French fleet..."
"Kill!" The battlefield was full of angry roars of French people. They opened fire and rushed to the hillside. Countless young and strong militia were knocked down, and gunfire sounded in the trenches.
Jin Sanshun and Lin Zhen are so excited that they can't find Bei. They are the first people to propose making local mines. Now they can achieve such great results. I'm so excited to think about it.
"Shoot...kill these big noses to death... Spencer fires, don't forget that this is a weapon donated by our Jin family!"
"Shoot, everyone shoots, the solution I, Lin Zhen, came up with is really useful. I said that if you can explode, you can explode..."
"Lin Zhen, shut up, this attention is what I thought of first!"
"I thought of you for fart first, and I stole the flintlock device from the laboratory..."
"Bullshit, I still smashed the glass in the laboratory!"
These two live treasures were in a state of quarrel at this time, which brought a relaxed smile to the extremely Xiaosha battlefield.
When all the soldiers and militia jumped back to the trenches, the French's charge became weaker, charging from low to high, and the defenders had trenches, and their side lost the cover of artillery. This suicide attack was not what the French wanted.
Although these commanders and soldiers were both angry, they still acted strictly in accordance with the iron laws of the military. After leaving behind more than a dozen bodies, they fired alternately, covered each other and retreated to Guotou Village.
The battle came to an end, and both sides entered the stage of licking the wounds. The Quick Stepper, which was blown into two pieces on the sea, slowly sank into the bottom of the sea. The corpses and debris were spread on the sea and the people watching were shocking.
The Wavebreaker has now lost its combat capability. Just after the overturning force, all the artillery and debris in the entire ship were moved, and many gunners were even killed by moving cannons.
On the deck, inside the cabin, there were the wailings of the wounded and the crying of the weak. This chaotic state is probably impossible to even protect yourself, let alone fighting.
If the Ryukyu Kingdom sent a group of naval forces at this time, even the most primitive hand-to-hand naval soldiers would be fine. As long as they stick to it and fight a side-to-side battle, the warship would be captured by the state of these sailors.
Xiang Ying in the Beishan trench also saw the clues. He stood on the highest reef with a telescope. As the Broken Waves slowly spinning on the sea, he slapped his thighs in a hurry.
"How good if we had a warship in our hands now? How good if we had hundreds of brave sailors in our hands? As long as we rushed up and boarded the bow of the ship, we could capture this warship... Damn, Damn!"
Just as Xiang Ying was slapping his thighs in a hurry, a melodious horn sounded from the west of the sea, that is, on the left side of the trench. The sound was so familiar that even the little beauty Cai Bixia could hear it.
"It's our navy! It's the navy that my father practiced! They finally came..."
Yes, the Ryukyu Kingdom is not without naval. Over the past year, Xiao Lotte allocated countless funds, bought ten small clippers, and then asked American engineers to change them to warships.
Xiao Letian and Cai Mao never expected that these ten warships could be useful on the battlefield, because even if these ten small flying scissors are not qualified as merchant ships, they are basically purchased at the price of scrap.
Although combat is not useful, it is still rich when it comes to training ships. Xiao Letian knows that a navy is not created out of thin air, nor is it that you are willing to spend money to buy the best warships to save.
The Navy has always been a game played by elites. A qualified sailor won’t think of getting out without three or four years of training. There are also gunners who don’t shoot out six or seven hundred shells and do not think of getting on a warship to control artillery.
Captain, first mate, second mate, third mate, driver, driving assistant, manager, radio operator, sailor, first mate, second mate, carpenter, chef... You can't imagine that there are many kinds of technical jobs on the warship.
If the ironclad ships enter the sequence in the future, there will be more technical positions at that time. The engineer, the large pipe wheel, the second pipe wheel, the third pipe wheel, the turbine assistant, the motorist, the machinist, the machinist...even the fueling staff and the fitter must be equipped.
There are so many talent gaps that cannot be trained in a day, so these ten fly-scissors have only one purpose, which is to train talents, the more the better.
General Cai Mao certainly knew how high the combat effectiveness of the training ship was, so when the war began, he ordered the fleet to set out north and hide in the reef area in the northern waters.
This reef area is right between Naha Port and Guotou Village. It is a cruising place for small ships, a sad place for heavy ships, and French warships have to retreat here.
Sometimes the second generation of officials is still very useful. If it weren’t for Xiang Ying and Cai Bixia and the others personally, no one would have been able to mobilize these ten warships at all.
While Xiang Ying and his team were heading north, when they passed by the path of the cliff of Beishan, it was Cai Bixia, who was the sharpest-eyed person, who discovered the trace of the fleet. It was at her request that the ten clippers divided three of them to support the Guotou waters.
Who said that the second generation of officials are all playboys? In this battle to defend Ryukyu, Xiang Ying and the second generation of officials made great contributions.
