Chapter 146 Strive to Breakthrough
Seeing that the wind on the sea began to strengthen a little, the shopkeeper Xiao's face suddenly roared, "Raise the rocket! Tell the shipkeepers on those ships! Even if you don't want to fight their boat, you have to hit those ghost boats! Leave them!"
Several rockets soared into the air again, and the ships under Chu Cai, who stopped the three ships of the sea wolf from going, immediately contracted, narrowing the distance between them, and blocking the front of the sea wolf's way.
Luo Xianbin put his hand on the handle of the knife around his waist and also stared at the boats rushing to the opposite side. Today, whether he and his brothers can retreat whole body depends on this battle.
As long as he breaks through this line of defense with these three ships, the next step is for the sea to leap, and the sky is high for birds to fly! With their speed, these guys are delusional to want to keep them again.
The main sail and front sail gradually began to eat the wind, making their ship faster and faster. The hull, which originally seemed a little dull, began to rise slightly. At this time, the sharp bow cut the sea water, and the waves quickly slid across the long and elegant hull, forming a snow-white trail in the stern. .
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer. Although there are still some old ships under Chu Cai coming this side, it is obvious that they can't catch up with the three sea wolf boats with their speed.
So now, the only three boats that can stop the sea wolves are only those who are left with these various boats in front of them, and the hearts of the leaders and people on the ship are in front of these boats under Chu Cai's old hands.
Because they all really felt the speed of the three ghost boats in front of them. At this time, the wind on the sea had just increased a little, and the three ghost boats began to accelerate, and they were getting faster and faster. Once they couldn't stop the three ghost boats and let them rush past them There is nothing the immortals can do about them.
So they have only one chance to take them down or one of their boats at the moment they rush over, otherwise they will play in vain this time.
The distance of two miles is close to the sea. In the blink of an eye, the people on both sides of the ship stopped roaring and scolding and began to become quiet. Everyone was preparing usable weapons and ready to greet the enemy ship at any time.
Luo Xianbin stabilized himself, carefully observed the enemy ships opposite, and finally locked his eyes between the two ships. When the two ships just assembled, the distance between them was relatively large, which gave Luo Xianbin a chance.
Luo Xianbin immediately shouted to the helmsman beside him, "Left rudder! Insert it between those two boats! The artillery on the ship is ready! Only one chance! Please beat these two boats hard and don't let them come over!"
The helmsman nodded and shouted, "I understand! Left rudder! Damn, I'm coming! Haha!" After saying that, the helmsman immediately pulled the steering wheel hard.
Nowadays, two of these three sloops have finally been used to control the rudder mechanism, which is undoubtedly a great progress for sailing ships. In most cases, a helmsman can easily operate the rudder without the help of others. The most important thing is The helmsman's line of sight position has improved a lot, and you can directly see the position of the bow and the situation in front of the ship.
In this way, the helmsman can operate the steering more conveniently and intuitively, and can control the direction of the ship more accurately, thus improving the flexibility of the ship.
As Luo Xianbin began to turn the rudder as the first ship, the subsequent two ships immediately followed it and began to turn the rudder. The three ships maintained a linear array, and the head and tail were connected like a fast knife, piercing straight into the gap between the two ships.
At this time, the distance between the two sides has been narrowed to about 100 meters. Mr. Chu Cai's men were ready to fight, and they made a posture to hit these three ghost ships one after another.
But they didn't expect that at such a close distance, the three ghost ships could keep sailing at a high speed and make such a flexible turn, so they were a little confused. The helmsmen on those ships shouted to the helmsman and quickly turned the rudder at the three ghost boats, trying to continue to attack him. We.
But the dhow showed its advantage of flexibility at this time. It can almost be said that under the eyes of this group of guys, there was a gorgeous turn and went straight into the position between the two boats they chose.
In fact, the distance between the two old Chu Cai's ships is not very different, at most about 60 or 70 meters. At sea, such a distance is nothing, but today they met an opponent they are not familiar with.
The ship of the three sea wolves turned to this gap when they didn't expect it, and broke into them almost in the blink of an eye.
There were shouts and exclamation on the sea, and then a series of cannons sounded on the boats under the command of Chu Cai.
In order to stop these three ghost ships, the artillery on their ships have long been ready to fire. The gunners have been carefully and laboriously moved the heavy gun racks for a long time, trying to find the three "ghost ships" and are ready to give them a fierce shot as soon as they get close.
But they didn't expect that the three "ghost boats" were under their eyes. They suddenly turned around and immediately destroyed their aim, which made them have to quickly readjust the gun racks. They hurriedly saw that these three "ghost boats" were about to be inserted between them, so Chu Cai's old men on these ships We will never dare to delay again.
So under the command of their leader, the ships immediately fired shells and fired shells at the three "ghost ships" cut between them.
Originally, if they fought for firepower, the ship of the three sea wolves was not at a disadvantage. They could take the initiative to get angry and beat them down first before the other party opened fire.
But now Luo Xianbin and others have to give up this practice. In order to save ammunition, they can only break into the enemy's array and release the firepower on their ship in the position closest to the enemy.
In the chaotic sound of cannons, the three sea wolf ships still rushed into the enemy's array with artillery fire, and bravely took the shelling.
However, such a shelling did not have much effect on them, because under the command of Luo Xianbin, the three sea wolf ships suddenly turned, disrupting the enemy's plan, forcing them to rush to adjust the direction of the muzzle, and had to fire the gun in a hurry.
In this way, the shelling accuracy of these Chu Cai's old ships is really poor. Even within their effective range, the shells basically fall into the sea. Even if some shells hit the sea wolf's ship, it is because of the thick materials. It also failed to cause them much trouble. At best, it cracked one of their boats and did not hurt the main structure of the three ships.
So these three boats still inserted into their fleet. At this time, Luo Xianbin suddenly roared, "Strive me!"
At this time, Luo Xianbin's boat was right in the middle of the two Chu Cailao boats, and the two boats had begun to turn around, trying to clamp the three "ghost boats" to prevent the three boats from passing between them.
So at this time, there is only less than 50 meters between the two old Chu Cai's boats. In addition, Luo Xianbin's boat passed between them, and the two sides were only about 20 meters away from each other.
This distance is basically within reach at sea. For the artillery on the ship, it is basically firing against the head.
I only heard a few booms, and several fires erupted on both sides of Luo Xianbin's boat at the same time, and then a piece of smoke rose.
In addition to the firing of the artillery in the cabin, even several small Ferro cannons on the deck fired together.
At such a close distance, even the little Folang machine cannon can fully exert their power. In a blink of an eye, looking at the two colorful old boats on both sides, a piece of debris of the shipboard collapsed at the side of the ship in an instant, and then the remnants of the human body were seen flying up.
Whether it is a six-pound gun or a 12-pound gun, it is loaded with solid bombs or grape bombs. At such a distance, they can give full play to their power. Solid bullets are mixed with grape bombs, which instantly hit the sides of the two enemy ships with holes, and a small number of people on the side of the ship. Under this shelling, even if Several were bombarded and killed.
was turning inward, trying to attack the two ships of the sea wolf ship, as if they had been kicked. The hull was shocked, and then began to turn outward.
This is also a person's instinct to avoid danger. When the helmsman saw that his ship was hit so hard, he instinctively pressed the rudder pole and wanted to avoid it.
The two steers on the ship' faces were purple now. They turned around and roared at the helmsman, "Who let you turn the helm! Turn back and hit them! Clamp them! ......”
Only then did the heuer react and pulled back the rudder again and tried to continue to attack inward, but now Luo Xianbin's boat had quickly passed between them.
Taking this opportunity, several idle hands and soldiers also picked up the flinch gun on the ship, raised their guns and opened fire on the opposite enemy ship, including the upper bucket on the mast. At this time, they also copied a flinch gun and aimed at an enemy ship under their feet and held fire.
The steering of an old man Chu Cai, who was jumping and scolding the helmsman, suddenly shook his body. He lowered his head and saw a blood hole in his chest, and a blood arrow rushed out of his chest.
He reached out and covered his chest, staggered and scolded, "Duck! Unlucky..." Before he finished speaking, he fell on the deck with his back to the sky.
After the ship lost its master, the helmsman stared at their ship and died in front of him. He was so shocked that he was so shocked that he didn't know what to do. He unconsciously pulled the rudder again. As a result, their hand did not keep up with his steering wheel, and the ship suddenly hit the way. Come here.
In a moment, the second ship cut between their two ships again, and in an instant, another row of guns sounded.
(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to the brothers! Spend more time with your family today! I'm going to spend time with my family too! Ha ha! Today is better! I wish you all a happy family and all the best!)
