Chapter 811: God is going to die, I am
(0811)
【Today's third update is delivered!】
The biggest feature of the red-clothed cannon mounted on the bow of a three-masted gunship is that it can shoot continuously in the right direction when advancing. In other words, it does not require a zigzag shape. This is different from ordinary warships. For ordinary warships, artillery is on the side and must be zigzag shape to fire in front.
This allowed these five giants to rush forward and fearlessly. These five three-masted gunships were fiercely bombarded and advanced, and they dispersed the First Fleet of the Tiger Ben Army. Compared with the First Fleet of the Tiger Ben Army, the sword-tooth ships of the First Fleet of the Navy of the Tiger Ben Army, the size of the three-masted gunships is still very different.
But these five giants have strong protective performance. If they do not concentrate more intense artillery fire, they may not be able to be killed. The artillery fire of the twelve sword-toothed ships is obviously not enough. The cannons of this era are indeed a little weak, and it would be great if there were TNT explosives. One shot was enough to overturn any three-masted gunship on the sea.
"Brother General, your warship is still a little smaller."
Saiviara deliberately stimulated Zhang Zhun.
Her business with Zhang Zhun has not yet been negotiated. Zhang Zhun has never been willing to disclose the technical secrets of the Hu Ben Gun, and she is unwilling to easily disclose relevant data about large battleships. Both sides are fighting in secret, wanting to win the most benefits for themselves.
"I know."
Zhang Zhun said expressionlessly.
Indeed, if the Hu Ben Navy does not have enough large warships, it will be at a disadvantage once it faces a powerful opponent. The strength of the battle on the sea is decisive, and there is basically no chance to use conspiracies. What is strength? The five three-masted gunships in front of them are strength! They rush around, and the Hu Ben Navy just can't kill them!
Fortunately, the Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Navy were still very flexible. They bravely interfered with these three-masted gunships in all directions. Their appearance involved most of the firepower of the Yang family fleet, and at the same time, it also caused powerful damage to other warships of the Yang family fleet. If the Yang family fleet despises them, they will immediately taste the bitter fruit.
The artillery equipment of the Yang family fleet is very interesting. Their red-clothed cannons are more powerful and have a longer range than the flying dragon cannons of the Hu Ben Army. However, their other cannons are less powerful and have a shorter range than the flying dragon cannons, which gives the Hu Ben Army Navy a strong counterattack opportunity. As long as you avoid the attack of the red-clothed cannons, the Yang family fleet will not have the upper hand in other positions.
Those Cangshan ships that are as flexible as flies are the best choice to avoid shooting of red cannons. The red cannons of the Yang family fleet can be shot at the same time, but in fact there are ten gates. Of course, the Yang family fleet cannot use red cannons to bombard those Cangshan ships, because doing so is purely a cannon to kill mosquitoes, which is wasted. As a result, the Cangshan ship has the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes.
When the three-masted gunships of the Yang family fleet desperately deterred the sword-tooth ships, the Cangshan ship could sneak attack other armed merchant ships. Compared with the sword-tooth ships of the Hu Ben Army Navy, these armed merchant ships were basically beaten. However, these armed merchant ships could bully the Cangshan ships.
On the battlefield, a strange phenomenon slowly appeared, that is, the Yang family fleet's three-masted gunship, chasing the sword-tooth ships of the Hu Ben Army Navy, attacking. However, the Hu Ben Army Navy's sword-tooth ships tried to avoid the three-masted gunships and chose those armed merchant ships to attack. However, the Yang family fleet's armed merchant ships chose the Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Army Navy to attack. The Hu Ben Army Navy's Cangshan ships attacked the huge three-masted gunships with no chance. The four formed a complete circle.
It has to be said that this phenomenon was something that Zhang Zhun and Yang Tiansheng did not expect. It can be seen that the changes in the battlefield were indeed changing rapidly. Everything must be controlled by the navy soldiers on the front line themselves. The commander behind him can only make general strategic policies, and specific battles are almost impossible to interfere.
"It's good."
Soon, Li Jicheng ordered the Cangshan ship to entangle the five three-masted gunships, and the other sword-toothed ships launched an attack on the armed merchant ships. Since such a strange phenomenon has occurred on the battlefield, let it go naturally.
At this time, the number of Cangshan ships participating in the battle was more than eight, but a total of thirty. In other words, all Cangshan ships were transferred out by Zhang Zhun. In this battle, the Hu Ben Navy would of course spare no effort.
A large number of Cangshan ships, like flies, gathered around the five three-masted gunships of the Yang family fleet, and continuously fired chain shells and shotguns at the three-masted gunships to harass the three-masted gunships. It has to be said that many ants bite the elephant to death, and the three-masted gunships were indeed very distressed when facing so many Cangshan ships. There was no way, Yang Tiansheng had to quickly order some armed merchant ships to escort these three-masted gunships. As a result, some armed merchant ships of the Yang family fleet fought with the Cangshan ships again.
The captains of the Cangshan ships of the Hu Ben Army were basically desperate and desperate. In order to become regular as soon as possible, they spared no effort to attack. Although the armed merchant ships of the Yang family fleet were pirates, they were not as cruel as they really fought. If they were not careful, they would bite them hard.
Of course, there are also injured Cangshan boats. Hu Xiaobin's Cangshan boat was smashed into a hole in the bottom cabin of the deck by the enemy's solid bullets, and had to temporarily withdraw from the battle. However, overall, the Cangshan boats were very flexible in movement, and they were moved quickly, and chain bullets could hardly hit them. As for shotguns, in addition to causing damage to personnel, the damage to the warships was not very large.
On the contrary, the armed merchant ships of the Yang family fleet are much worse than those of the Cangshan ships in terms of movement speed and flexibility. Once they are targeted by the Hu Ben Navy, a series of chain bullets or shotguns will be shot over, and the damage will be severe.
After half an hour of the naval battle, almost all the warships, whether from the Hu Ben Army or the Yang Family Fleet, were already covered in blood. Some warships were covered with corpses in a row. The blood and corpses were mainly left by the sailors of both sides, and their casualties were indeed too high.
"Dad, you must beat them hard!"
Yang Pengling said anxiously and angrily.
"Know."
Yang Tiansheng said sternly.
As a pirate, he is indeed very confident in fighting. Although the current situation is a bit unexpected, it is still under Yang Tiansheng's control. As long as the situation does not change significantly, the Yang family fleet will definitely win in the end.
At present, Yang Tiansheng's goal is to eliminate these large warships of Zhang Zhun. As long as these warships are destroyed, the next thing will be easier. As for those Cangshan ships, there is still time to deal with them in the future. Without those large warships, what role can these Cangshan ships have? If they surrender or be sunk, there are only these two options.
"Brother General, why haven't your reinforcements appeared yet?"
Seviara suddenly frowned and asked.
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Zhun said quietly.
"If you wait any longer, I'm afraid you will lose the large warship again."
Seviara frowned and said.
In close combat with the Yang family fleet, the damage of many sword-toothed ships in the First Fleet was relatively serious. After all, the firepower of the Yang family fleet was relatively strong, especially the firepower of the red cannon. At a distance of two or three hundred meters, the hit rate was relatively high.
After Huang Shijun's main mast of the sword-tooth ship was interrupted, the sword-tooth ship commanded by Mao Huihui also had serious problems. The main mast of the sword-tooth ship was also covered with scars and sank everywhere and could be broken at any time. The sails were also torn apart in many places and could not be used normally. The professional sailors responsible for the *** sailing have all suffered casualties. Now they are all substitutes of the gunners, and Mao Huihui himself has used them as the *** sailing hand.
Many Yang family fleet warships surrounded Mao Huihui's sword-tooth ships and fired chain bombs desperately. Mao Huihui also directed his men to continue to counterattack. Other warships of the surrounding Hu Ben Navy desperately launched attacks on the Yang family fleet, trying to save Mao Huihui's sword-tooth ships. As a result, they attracted more Yang family fleet armed merchant ships to come over, and even three-masted gunships turned around to intervene.
"Oh shit!"
Zhang Shenggao and others cursed in a low voice and had to retreat temporarily.
The three-masted gunships of the Yang family fleet are indeed difficult to deal with. To destroy these giants, at least fifteen sword-toothed ships need to be concentrated. It would be even better if there were twenty. Before the arrival of the Second Fleet, there was no need to fight with them. Thirty-six strategies, let's go first, and retreat for the time being!
"All of it was disrupted."
Wang Shide held up the Mile Mile Mile and said with emotion.
The entire battlefield was like boiling boiling water, fighting everywhere, and rumbling sounds of cannons everywhere. Because of the obstruction of white smoke, I could not even tell at first glance which ship belongs to the Tiger Army and which ship belongs to the Yang family fleet.
The interweaving tactics of the Yang family fleet were not successfully implemented. Similarly, the T-shaped tactics of the Hu Ben Navy were not successfully implemented. Now the battle between the two sides is purely a melee between the ships. The commanders basically can only control the warships they are in and are powerless to the warships of others.
"Squeak!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a sharp voice came again.
Zhang Zhun moved the Qianlijing and found that the sound was from Mao Huihui's sword-tooth ship. The main mast of the sword-tooth ship was about to break. Its inclination had exceeded 30 degrees, and some of the sails had been soaked on the sea surface.
"Brothers, abandon the ship!"
There was no choice but Mao Huihui had to order the ship to abandon.
As a result, as soon as the group jumped into the water, the main mast fell down fiercely. The long mast splashed high waves in the sea water. The hull of the sword-tooth ship was also severely tilted and almost overturned. Fortunately, the mast quickly broke all its roots and broke into contact with the hull of the sword-tooth ship. In the end, the hull of the sword-tooth ship slowly returned to normal.
"good!"
"Good fight!"
Yang Pengling couldn't help but scream.
The Hu Ben Navy lost two sword-toothed ships, and Yang Pengling's mood suddenly became excited and felt that he had seen hope of victory. At this speed, it was not difficult to destroy all the large warships of the Hu Ben Navy.
"good!"
Yang Tiansheng was also slightly relieved.
After all, the Yang family fleet has the upper hand, and the Yang family fleet's combat effectiveness is overwhelming the Hu Ben Navy. Although it was a bit difficult and a little blocked at the beginning, as the pirates completely entered the state of combat, the Yang family fleet was slowly moving towards victory.
"Squeak!"
"Boom!"
Yang Pengling was so excited that he was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of the main mast breaking. He hurriedly looked back and found that it was his armed merchant ship, which was also interrupted by the Hu Ben Navy and had to abandon the ship. The Yang family fleet lost another warship.
"Oh shit!"
Yang Pengling cursed in a low voice.
A sword-tooth ship fell from the Hu Ben Army, and the Yang family fleet also fell down an armed merchant ship. Such losses are acceptable. The number of large warships in the Yang family fleet is much more than that of the Hu Ben Army. One for another, victory must belong to the Yang family fleet.
The problem is that the Hu Ben Navy seemed unwilling to accept the results of one fight. While they lost two large warships, they also destroyed many large warships of the Yang family fleet. In the face of the attack of the Hu Ben Navy, those armed merchant ships were indeed too fragile.
"Squeak!"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, another sound of the mast breaking came.
Yang Pengling was shocked and felt something was wrong. For some reason, he subconsciously felt that something must have happened to his warship again. As a result, when he looked back, he found that his guess was really accurate. It was indeed that another armed merchant ship had fallen.
"Damn it!"
Faced with such a battle, Yang Pengling was in tears!
Yang Tiansheng himself was very helpless about such casualties. These warships of the Hu Ben Navy are still very tenacious, and it is really not easy to knock them out at once. So far, the Hu Ben Navy has lost two large warships, and the Yang family fleet has lost five armed merchant ships. It is hard to say who is taking advantage of this ratio.
"Sir, we have lost another sword-toothed ship."
Wang Shide whispered.
"I know."
Zhang Zhun said calmly.
The war was originally cruel, and it was normal to have casualties. Wang Shide's psychological tolerance was still a little light. In fact, judging from the current combat situation, the losses of the Hu Ben Navy were basically as expected by Zhang Zhun. The Hu Ben Navy lost two sword-tooth ships, but the Yang family fleet lost five armed merchant ships. Well, to be precise, it was ten, and the five ships sent by Yang Pengling before were added.
It is impossible to use two sword-tooth ships to exchange for ten armed merchant ships. The cost of sword-tooth ships is not necessarily more expensive than these armed merchant ships, and may even be a little cheaper, because the flying dragon cannon was cast by itself and not bought from others. There is no need to pay the second dealer. This can save a lot of money.
Besides, this is the home court of the Hu Ben Navy. After the end of the naval battle, all abandoned ships, whether they are themselves or the enemy, can be dragged back for repair as long as they have not sunk, and only the value of repair. This is another great wealth.
It seems that the two sword-toothed ships of Huang Shijun and Mao Huihui were actually broken, the sails were torn apart, and after they were dragged back to the port, they could still be used as long as the main mast and sail were replaced and repaired in other places. Xue Zhidie's shipyard could carry out such maintenance work. After the maintenance is completed, even if it cannot be used as a main ship, it can also be used as a training ship.
The same is true for the ten armed merchant ships of the Yang family fleet. As long as the main mast is replaced, the sails are replaced, and all cannons are removed, the cabin can be transformed to a certain extent, and it can be used as a transport ship. The requirements for transport ships are really not high, and these armed merchant ships with some damage are completely competent.
Therefore, as long as this battle is achieved, the Hu Ben Navy will definitely be rich in seizure of the trophy. There are a total of ten armed merchant ships worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. Maybe there will be more in a while.
The artillery today is not very powerful and has the advantage of being weak. If it were the TNT shells from later generations, how could so many enemy warships be captured? Once the shot was shot, the enemy ship would have sank to the bottom of the sea, and even a single Mao would not be left behind.
Yang Tiansheng actually understood this truth. But it was because he understood this truth that he had to grit his teeth and persevere. Because once he was defeated, he would have nothing. On the contrary, if he won, all these damaged warships would be his. Thinking of the lost warships, Yang Tiansheng felt that he could not fail even more.
How can we defeat the Hu Ben Navy? Yang Tiansheng searched his dry intestines and wanted to burst his mind. The battle situation in front of him was really too complicated. The warships of all sizes on both sides were entangled with each other, with gunfire and guns rumbling. It was very difficult for him to issue any orders.
"General, another enemy ship is coming!"
At this moment, Lu Fei came to report quickly.
To be continued...
