Chapter 506: The troop transport ship that sunks the Tartars!

"Sir, we intercept a Tartar boat, which may be a Tartar's troop carrier."

Seeing Zhang Zhun appear, Zhang Haibin immediately reported to him.

"The Tartars' troop ship?"

Zhang Zhun raised the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and subconsciously talked to himself.

Could it be that the intelligence of the Tartars has dropped so much? Don’t the Tartars know that their combat effectiveness on the water will be at least 70% lower than that on land? They actually tried to directly transport their troops to Dengzhou City? Isn’t this a suicide attempt? If this is true, the Tiger and Ben Navy can show their power and sink them all to the bottom of the sea, so as to save trouble, and not even bury their bodies.

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

The rumbling sound of cannons came, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the sea.

Zhang Zhun held up a thousand-mile mirror and carefully observed the development of the battle.

This Tartar troop transport ship surrounded by the Hu Ben Navy is a No. 3 blessed boat, carrying about ten artillery pieces. On both sides of the ship's side, the marks of the Dengzhou Navy can be clearly seen. It is obvious that this No. 3 blessed boat must belong to the Dengzhou Navy. After surrendering to the Tartars, it became a warship of the Tartars. The Tartars themselves must have no warships.

The ones surrounding the No. 3 Fu Ship were four Cangshan boats of the Tiger Ben Army Navy, and one Haicang boat, with a total of about thirty cannons. Whether it was the density of artillery fire or the shooting distance of the shells, they were much more powerful than the Tartar boats. Especially when surrounded by four sides, the Tartar boats in the middle of the encirclement had no chance to escape.

Amid the rumbling sound of cannons, shells kept passing by the sky and then hit the object hard. The shells fell on the water surface and kept stirring up high water columns. Some water columns splashed directly onto the deck of the warship, and the sea water swept it and washed the deck hard. All the unsecured debris or personnel, or the bodies of personnel, were swept into the sea.

The water columns stirred up by the shells stirred up the sea water. The nearby sea water was constantly swelling. The Tartar boats in the middle kept adjusting their courses and trying to conflict and encircle. As a result, the chaotic movements also caused the waves to surge. As a result, the waves became higher and higher, and finally evolved into a half-meter-high white wave, constantly slapped on the sides of all warships, making a dull sound of bang bang.

The distance between the two sides was about two or three hundred meters. For naval battles, such a distance was very close. Therefore, the warships of the Hu Ben Army used grape bullets or chain bullets, trying to kill the opponent as much as possible. The landing points of the grape bullets were obviously much denser. No one was seen on the deck of the Tartar boat. Because there was marbles on the deck and there was no chance to hide. If the Tartars stood on it, they would definitely be crushed by raindrop marbles.

The Tartars' troop transport ship was surrounded, as if it was prey falling into a trap. Although it continued to struggle, it never had any effect, which aggravated the injuries on its body. What's even more strange is that judging from the reaction of this Tartar boat, it seemed that it was completely controlled by naval warriors. Many of the Tartars' actions made Zhang Zhun feel very surprised.

For example, you don’t need to use chain bullets when you should use chain bullets, and don’t use grape bullets when you should use grape bullets. Not to mention the warriors of the Dengzhou Navy, you don’t even understand the most basic combat method. Therefore, Zhang Zhun concluded that there must be some changes on this Tartar boat. If the warship under his command occurs such a move, Zhang Zhun will definitely directly lay off the captain and even send him to the military court. This is completely random playing the piano!

Whether it is the artillery fire of the warship itself or the mobility of the warship itself, the Tartar boat is no match for the Cangshan boat and the Haicang boat. In addition, there is a newbie on the boat commanding and using the ammunition species in chaos. Therefore, it was eventually sunk by the Hu Ben Navy, which was expected. The only question is when it will sink.

Since it was expected, Zhang Zhun did not pay special attention to it. However, suddenly, Zhang Zhun frowned quietly, as if he had discovered something strange again. It turned out that he saw from the Thousand Mile Mile Mile that people were constantly diving on the Tartars' troop. There were continuous splashes, as if someone was rushing to escape.

If you guessed correctly, the ones responsible for manipulating this Tartar boat should be the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy. They should be the ones who actively dived and escaped. They probably felt that they could not hold on, or for some other reason, that they would jump together in collective diving and escaping. However, Zhang Zhun subconsciously felt something was wrong. He felt that their actions seemed to be too consistent, just like a pre-appointment.

Among the constantly falling shells, the Dengzhou navy sailors who dived and escaped tried their best to swim towards the nearby Hu Ben Navy. It was August, and the temperature of the sea water was still within the range that the human body could bear. Therefore, the Dengzhou navy officers and soldiers who dived seemed to have good luck and soon got a certain distance from the Tartar boat. Strangely, the Tartars on the boat did not shoot arrows to stop them from escaping, which was really a strange thing.

As a large number of people jumped into the sea to escape, the artillery fire of the Tartars troop transport ship became weaker and weaker. The shooting speed and shooting accuracy of the cannons were getting worse and worse, and it felt like the smell of empty cannons. In addition to the random bombs, the Tartars posed almost no threat to the surrounding Tiger Army warships. On the contrary, the Tiger Army warships continued to pour all kinds of shells onto the Tartars.

Suddenly, a ball of fire broke out on the left side of the Tartar boat, followed by a large stream of black smoke. It seemed that someone flew out of the cannon window and then fell into the sea water, splashing a lot of water. If you guessed correctly, it should be that an artillery bombed the chamber accident that affected the surrounding gunners, which led to such a situation.

An explosion from the inside exploded a large hole on the left side of the No. 3 Fu Ship, at least the size of a dustpan. It looked like it was pitch black. Fortunately, the hole was above the water line, otherwise, a large amount of sea water poured in, and the No. 3 Fu Ship would sink directly. Such a large hole would not be able to block the sea water from flooding.

"Those people jumped into the sea and seemed to take the initiative?"

Zhang Haibin asked in surprise.

Many people saw the problem. Although this Tartars' troop transport ship was besieged by a large number of Tiger and Navy warships and was at an absolute disadvantage, there was still some time before sinking and having to abandon the ship. At that time, to sink the warship, the main method of hitting the solid iron ball. To directly sink a No. 3 lucky ship, at least dozens or even hundreds of iron balls were needed. In other words, it was difficult for large warships to sink.

According to the general situation, it is impossible for sailors to abandon the ship so quickly to escape. It is always safer on the ship than in the sea. Under the quiet surface of the sea, there are endless dangers. Therefore, it is absolutely not recommended to abandon the ship and escape until the last moment. Moreover, there are really a little more people who dive at the same time. It seems that there is some agreement in advance.

According to some other information, this Tartar troop transport ship seemed to have been trekking, so it appeared on Imperial City Island. Trek, such words, are not uncommon when sailing on the sea. Storms, changes in magnetic field, rainy days, failure of navigation tools, etc., will all lead to trekking. There are countless accidents caused by trekking during the process of crossing the ocean. However, in areas like Bohai Bay, it is worth exploring.

Whether it is star-shaking, sextant, or the simplest Sinan, it is enough for a novice navigator to find an accurate channel in the Bohai Bay. Simply put, it is very difficult to trek in the Bohai Bay. Unless it is a sampan without any navigation tools. Ships like No. 3 Fu Ship are equipped with complete navigation devices, and there is no possibility of trek in the Bohai Bay. There have been no storms these days.

In fact, when Huang Shijun and the others escaped, even if they didn’t have any navigation tools, they had just a dilapidated sampan, and there was no Trek. Therefore, the statement of Trek would definitely not work in the Bohai Bay area. Since it wasn’t Trek, there was another reason.

Well, to be more precise, someone might have done this on purpose. Otherwise, at this time, who wouldn't know that there were warships of the Tiger Army Navy around the Imperial City Island? When they came here, they would be dying. Since the ship was carrying a large number of Tartar soldiers and continuing to come here, it can only be said that they were crazy.

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

"Bangbangbangbang!"

The sound of cannons became more and more violent, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere.

The smell of gunpowder even came to the sky above the Imperial City Island. Zhang Zhun and others smelled the strong smell of gunpowder. At this time, from the Qianlijing, they could basically not see the complete outline of the Tartar boat, and they were all shrouded by thick white smoke. Only the sound of cannons was still very clear and dense.

After a large number of Dengzhou naval officers and soldiers dived and escaped, the war was completely one-sided. Without their help, the Tartars on the boat had difficulty controlling the boat, let alone effectively counterattacking. All the Tiger and Ben Navy warships surrounded the Tartars' troop ship and fought desperately, constantly hitting the Tartars' boats. It was like a group of hungry wolves, surrounding a poor sheep and constantly ravaging it.

This time, all the warships of the Hu Ben Navy used solid bullets. The solid bullets hit the side of the Tartar boat, constantly making holes. The surging sea water kept pouring in from these holes. There were also warships deliberately pouring a large number of shells into the holes caused by the Tartar boat's own explosion, trying to penetrate the bottom of the boat from inside.

"Gurl!"

"Gurl!"

"Gurl!"

It was so far away from Imperial City Island, Zhang Zhun seemed to be able to hear the sound of sea water constantly pouring in.

If an experienced sailor has effective measures to damage the pipe, it is entirely possible to make up for each hole. All large warships have craftsmen who can repair ordinary damage at any time. The damage at the bottom of the boat is difficult to repair, and the side of the boat will be easier. However, there is no reaction to damage the pipe on the Tartar boat, and let the sea water continue to pour in, which naturally greatly shortens its sinking time.

"Gululu!"

"Ding Dong!"

"Gululu!"

"Ding Dong!"

The large amount of sea water poured into the third ship kept sinking. As the air in the cabin was to be driven out, the water surface continued to bubble and make sounds like music. There were also a large number of whirlpools of all sizes, making the entire sea surface strange.

The sea water soon flooded the cabin and drove all the Tartars in the cabin to the deck. Sure enough, there were more than a hundred Tartars, all of them were fully armed, with bows, arrows, waist knives, spears, leather hats, and armor. They also brought a large number of spare arrows. There were at least two white-armored soldiers and five or six red-white-armored soldiers inside.

"Stop shooting!"

"Stop shooting!"

"Stop shooting!"

I don't know who issued the order.

The attack of the Hu Ben Navy has temporarily stopped, and everyone quietly watched the sinking of the Tartar boat. The war has developed to the present, and the sinking of the Tartar boat is a foregone conclusion. As long as the Hu Ben Navy does not rescue him, all the Tartars on the boat will be dead. Will the Hu Ben Army rescue him? Hehe, there is no need to answer this question.

At this time, the sea water was about to flood the deck of the Tartar boat, and the Tartars on the deck were completely in chaos. Some Tartars tried to follow suit, diving and escaping like others, but as a result, they quickly drank a stomach of sea water and then quietly sank. Some Tartars simply committed suicide and pierced their chests with arrows, as if they were as tragic as Xiao Feng. Some people tried their best to climb up the mast, trying to survive.

However, more Tartars watched helplessly as the sea water swallowed all of them. They watched the sea water swallowed their feet, and then subconsciously climbed to the high place. As a result, the sea water swallowed their feet again. They had to continue climbing to the high place. When there was no way to climb, the surging sea water slowly flooded their whole body.

Finally, the surging sea water flooded the entire deck of the Tartar boat and slowly swallowed the high mast. When the masts disappeared on the sea, only a huge vortex was left on the huge sea surface, and countless debris floating in the vortex. The leather caps on the Tartar's head also floated on the water surface.

When the Tartar boats just sank, there were still many Tartars, constantly struggling in the vortex, blew up a lot of chaotic waves. However, they were quickly swallowed by the vortex. The Tartars who did not understand the nature of water could not break free from such vortexes. Waiting for their destiny, of course, they would all sink into the sea.
