Chapter 92: One Night Zhurong Dance
Chapter 92 �
These six ships, plus the cargo on them, were smashed at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.
But the effect is very good, and it is even a bit too good.
Not far from the Boni Navy, the six ships suddenly ignited, mixed with spices of gunpowder and various flammable substances. With almost a "bang", flames burst out.
It instantly illuminated the night sky, pointed out the targets for the Ming ships, and also the targets discovered by the Boni Navy.
Then the Boni Navy, like a group of awakened giants, began to transfer the ship in a hurry.
Although this bay is not as hidden as the Ming Navy, with a big belly and a small mouth, the best route to go is to be blocked by six fire ships.
These Bonichi ships could only escape from both sides.
For a moment, no one was in command, and almost on the Ming ship, the sound of wood breaking could be heard, which was the collision between the ship.
And not together.
Almost all ships hit each other like crabs in a jar. They grabbed each other's feet, and even if they were only a short distance from the mouth of the jar, they would never be able to get out.
This is just the beginning.
When six fireboats crashed into it, a more terrifying disaster began.
The flames spread from the six fire boats, like six monsters, rushing around and rushing everywhere, shaking every small fire point on their bodies.
When the small fire fell on the ship, part of it was naturally extinguished, but a larger part grew a monster again and mixed with the original mother body.
Form a more prairie flame.
Despite this, it is not that there are no ships that escape. In the darkness, there is no time to chase.
British Duke Zhang Mao asked Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui’s opinion.
Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui simply said, "The effect is too good. The fire is too strong. It is not easy to get close."
The fire ships were designed before, and they were never used to annihilate the Boni Navy in one fell swoop. They were just used to disrupt the opponent's camp so that they could not take care of each other.
Generally speaking, half of the fireboat hits, thank God.
Even though none of the six fire ships rushed over, they were stopped. Chen Rui felt normal.
This unexpected good effect really left Chen Rui speechless. It seemed that they had no need to do anything.
Zhang Mao looked at it from a distance and found that several ships had good fire extinguishing efficiency, and some ships simply landed on the dock, and a large number of sailors jumped ashore from the boat. He immediately said, "No more, go up and fire the fire."
After all, the Ming Dynasty fire ships were temporarily processed. Although there were some flammable products on the ship, such as gunpowder, there was no oil. The efficiency of spreading flames was not too high.
Moreover, although the wood for shipbuilding is all wood, it is not so easy to burn. As long as you keep your position stable and you will be able to successfully control the fire without external interference.
This is not what Zhang Mao wanted to see.
In the Southeast Asian enemies are numerous and we are few, and we are not a time to be kind and forgive.
Chen Rui immediately ordered that the Ming army's ships began to fire through the raging fire. It was like training, one shot after another.
When the fire just started, the flames were filled with screams. As the roar of cannons sounded, the screams became less and less.
Almost nothing.
"Stop." After a long bang for more than half an hour, Chen Rui called to stop.
It’s not that he has some kindness, but that he is worried about the cannon.
This kind of continuous shooting is the most harmful.
So cool it down.
After more than half an hour, Chen Rui put his hand deep into the cannon chamber, and could not feel the residual heat. Only the cold touch of steel was the one who was ready to fire again.
But Zhang Mao said, "No need. Listen."
The people on the entire ship stopped talking, and Zhang Mao and Chen Rui listened quietly.
The sound of flames slashing, occasionally the explosion of something ignited, or even the sound of waves, was the sound of no one, I don't know if it was suppressed by these sounds.
Still no one is there.
It seems that a large area of flames collapsed, but it is not known whether the flames burned out, extinguished, or the ship sank.
Zhang Mao said, "Wait until dawn."
It seems that it is because of Zhang Mao's supervision that it seems that the daylight is much darker than usual in the morning.
After dawn, the fire had not completely gone out, but became weak. Chen Rui soon discovered that the ship could not dock directly and could only go around from both sides.
These days, ships are not well prepared, so the water where they can dock the ship is not deep.
In the shallow water, there are countless ships sinking inside, and there are even many ships that are half exposed to the water and are still burning, which is on these ships.
Generally speaking, cannons are difficult to sink ships.
Solid shells can only make a hole in the ship. If the boat only has a watertight warehouse, it is very resistant to sinking. Even if it is hit by hundreds of shells, it will be difficult to sink. Of course, it will not have any combat effectiveness. In addition, the wooden boat is easy to repair, and the ship can be repaired while fighting.
But now it is different. Boni's shipbuilding technology is average, and in the midst of the fire, who will repair the cabin?
That's how it turned out to be.
In this case, how can the ship be docked?
He could only dock from both sides. Wang Zhi took the lead, and ordered five hundred sailors, each rushing over with swords, guns and muskets.
After arriving, they only saw a few ships rushing to the shore. When the fire was burning, they rushed to the shore first to avoid the fire, but the ship was also stranded.
A considerable number of Bonito Navy personnel escaped. Those who stayed here were large corpses. Wang Zhi clearly saw shells half buried on the beach. It seemed that when the ships were bombarded yesterday, the place was also patronized.
It's normal to think about it.
After all, with the accuracy of artillery, it is difficult to not bombard the shore.
Of course, it’s not that there are no living people.
Wang Zhi discovered one.
Staying stupidly on the sea, keeping shouting something, with inexplicable excitement on his face.
Wang Zhi found a general interpreter and asked him, "What is he calling?"
The general translation said carefully: "'Fire, great fire, the great fire of the gods. The thunder of the gods' are all such words, repeated over and over again. Lord, this person seems crazy."
Wang Zhi said, "It's crazy." Then he took out a musket and hit the man with one gun.
This person couldn't bear to fall down in an instant.
Wang Zhi said: "It's better to die than to be such a madman." After Wang Zhi finished this trivial matter, he immediately urged the following people to say: "Go and find a living."
In fact, many Boni sailors can't run far.
There are too many undeveloped places in the Boni area. They all got off the boat with empty hands, and some were even injured. How could they run far?
I quickly caught some survivors.
Wang Zhi immediately asked someone to ask separately, and the most important question was where the Boni King was.
About half an hour later, Wang Zhi received several dozen confessions. Many of these confessions were worthless. In a panic, many people did not know what happened, and they did not pay attention to where the Boni King was.
However, the message is still valid.
Several of them provided information. At the first time of the fire attack, King Boni ran away with several ships. That is, the ships that escaped last night.
This disappointed Wang Zhi a little, and he immediately reported the news.
After a while, Wang Zhi told Zhang Mao and Chen Rui angrily about the news.
Zhang Mao laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "It's best to catch King Boni, but it's nothing if I can't catch it. After this battle, the navy of Boni country did not dare to go out to sea. I guess King Boni was not so stupid that he would come to ask for peace."
"It's already very good to win a country in one battle. We can also go south to clear the siege of the old port."
Chen Rui said: "I just asked someone to click. There are more than 100 ships sinking here, and so many ships are sinking at once. Even the navy in the coastal province of Ming Dynasty will not be able to recover for a while. I suspect that there are no navy in Boni. Although there are no beheadings, more than 1,000 bodies have been found. As for how many people were buried in the sea, it is not clear for a while."
"I don't believe Boni still has some strength."
