Chapter 147 Fire
The Shark Gang, led by Qian Song's boat, took other boats in the center and stared at the big ship with the old flag hanging high in the middle of the opposite side. Just as the two sides approached a distance of about a league, Wang Hong's boat shouted.
Wang Hong told Yu Xiaotian to look at the left wing of his boat. He wanted to follow Qian Song's boat to fight the boat of the mixed river dragon first and try to overturn the mixed river dragon first. This battle will be easy to fight next.
Yu Xiaotian immediately answered, but he also knew that while Qian Song thought so, I'm afraid that Hun Jianglong also had the same idea as him, and the handsome ships on both sides were in the middle of their respective fleets, and they did not adopt linear formations. Once they fought, they would immediately rush to the other's array. It must be a Scuffle.
So Yu Xiaotian did not have any hope, but decided to do his best to protect himself as much as possible while protecting Wang Hong's side of the boat.
The speed of moving with each other at sea is equivalent to doubling the speed. A distance of a distance of one miles is basically a few minutes.
As the two fleets approached more than 100 meters, some of the two fleets began to calm down and took the lead in firing and firing at the opposite enemy ship.
Suddenly, a few smoke rose on the sea, and several roaring cannons sounded in an instant. Unfortunately, this distance was still a little too far for the small cannons on this group of people's boat. When several shells were shot out, they basically failed to hit the other party's ship, and they fell into the sea in the sea of the opposite fleet. It stirred up several waves.
Liu Tong stood next to Bai Ziqi in the bow position with his two men. From time to time, he turned his head to look at Yu Xiaotian anxiously, waiting for Yu Xiaotian to also order the firing of the gun and ignite the torch. At this time, he had been caught in his hand and could put it on the fire gate at the end of the gun at any time.
However, Yu Xiaotian was not in a hurry to let them fire, but first ordered the * hands holding fire and bird guns on the ship to light the fire door on *.
On his ship, according to the rules set by Yu Xiaotian, no one was allowed to fire without his order, so even if he saw someone fire, his ship remained quiet, and even the hand holding the torch did not even ignite the fire rope, waiting for Yu Xiaotian's order.
Yu Xiaotian was very satisfied with the performance of his men. At this time, he did not go to see the ship of the mixed river dragon at all, but searched in the opposite fleet, and finally locked his eyes on a double mast chasing ship that was coming towards him.
"Brothers, especially those from Xiaohuangdao, do you remember why we came to Fuzhou at the beginning! If Hun Jianglong's men hadn't forced us, how would we have abandoned the Great Yellow Island and settled here?
Now is the time for us to take revenge. Let's all cheer up and do a better job! Give them a cruel thing and let them see the power of our sea wolf!
Keep an eye on the opposite one, leave the other ships alone, concentrate all the firepower, beat it hard first, and prepare the archer rocket! The tail gun was also prepared for me. When I staggered with them, I was sure to fight! Let's begin! It's all aimed at me! Listen to me before you open fire!" Yu Xiaotian returned to the stern of the ship, stood next to the helmsman, pointed his finger to the opposite one, and shouted loudly to his subordinates on the ship.
Half of the people on the ship came from Xiaohuangdao at the beginning. They were the first people to follow Yu Xiao's filial piety world. Each of them saw Xiao Dazui, a subordinate of Hun Jianglong, on Dahuangdao, trying to find their bad luck in Dahuangdao. As a last resort, they were forced to leave the world. Huangdao ran to Fuzhou.
Now they follow the Shark Gang to deal with the mixed river dragon. Even if they are not enemies, they are at least holding their breath.
After Liu Tong got the order, he quickly moved the gun rack of the bow with his men and aimed the muzzle at the one coming from the opposite side as much as possible. The rest of the firemen and archers also lit fire ropes or rockets and were ready to launch.
The two fleets almost collided with each other at this time, and the distance was tens of meters closer, and almost even the pimp on the faces of the pirates on the opposite ship could be seen clearly.
At this time, almost all the ships of both sides began to fire together and hit each other's ship.
In an instant, a series of gunfire sounded on the sea, spreading like thunder in all directions of the sea, and a mass of smoke rose up in each ship.
Shells roared out of the gunboard and flew towards the enemy ship. For a moment, the sea was completely lively. These shells basically greeted the enemy's ship opposite. They dared not be flattering. At a distance of dozens of meters, there were still cannonballs falling into the sea, but more than half of the shells, and It hit the target.
Some shells hit the hull of the enemy ship, and a hole was made on the hull with a bang. Some shells were less powerful and hit the hull without penetrating the hull. They just hit a hole in the wood and landed in the sea.
There are also some shells that hit more accurately. They hit the side of the enemy ship or the sail, or the wood chips flew around, or they made a huge hole in the enemy's sail, which also caused some losses to the enemy.
Overall, in such a naval battle, the symbolic significance is greater than the practical significance. It seems to be more lively. Generally speaking, it is difficult to sink or destroy enemy ships. On the contrary, some small cannons hit scattered bombs, which also poses some threats to enemy personnel. The hit rate of small cannons flying on all sides Higher, the hull of the enemy ship crackled, and the momentum was more frightening.
Yu Xiaotian didn't care so much at this moment, and all his attention was on the rushing rush on the opposite side. Just as the two ships were about to cross head to head, Yu Xiaotian shouted: "Fire at me!"
With a loud shout, the * hands, gunners and archers on the ship immediately moved. Liu Tong roared and put the torch on the gun door of the gun in front of him. With a roar, the hundred guns immediately jumped up and fell on the deck again, and the gun rack moved back two times. The distance of feet.
* hands also pulled down the machine one after another, and the dragon head stuck on the fire rope fell down with a click, just falling into the fire door. The firelight flashed in the fire door, * immediately banged, a smoke ignited out of smoke, and the boat was full of smoke.
The archer even put the lit rocket on the bowstring, tried his best to pull the bow, and shot the burning arrows at the ship.
This oncoming ship is unlucky. The reason why it is called Baizi gun is because it is mainly used to fire scattered bombs. It can fill more than 100 cannons the size of a little finger at a time. If you fire from a long distance, the power can be described as slag, but it is close. When launching, it can be said that a large number of people can be killed, but the killing effect on personnel should not be underestimated.
At this time, the two ships are about 20 meters apart, and this gun is almost only placed on each other's forehead, which is unreasonable.
More than 100 cannons immediately swept across the other's boat like rain. Several pirates on the other's boat fell on the boat. A guy even overturned directly from the other side of the ship and fell into the sea with a scream.
As for the bullets fired by several * hands and the rockets fired by archers, Yu Xiaotian did not expect them to make contributions. Although the distance is not far, it is not easy to aim accurately and hit an enemy on the shaking ship. There are more elements to scare people. By the way, the rocket also causes a little numbness to the other party. Annoying.
But even so, the other party still suffered a great loss. The people on the deck were killed and injured by this gun, which immediately made them confused.
Seeing two rockets inserted into their sail, the pirate head on the opposite ship quickly shouted to put out the fire and let his men fight the fire. For a moment, they had no time to fight back against the Sea Wolf of Xiaotian.
