Chapter 198 Late

With more Chu Cai's old ships coming, the small fleet led by Liu Yidao finally began to fall into a bitter battle and gradually began to be surrounded by the other party. Although they have technical advantages, this technical advantage has also been suppressed by the other party's quantitative advantages at this time, but not It's just that you can take advantage of it.

Although Yu Xiaotian opened his golden finger and made a Western-style artillery cast by this iron cast gun method, this artillery is only on a technical platform with the Hongyi cannon of this era, and has not surpassed the old artillery, and has not completely formed any technical generation gap.

If he has made a cannon with a rear-loaded line at this time, even if it is an old guy like a mountain cannon and some explosive grenades, he can use only a very small amount of artillery to make these Chucai old boats into scum, and it can destroy these Chucai old ships without a few.

However, the technology of this era has limited him from making this serious super-era weapon, and can only temporarily stop on this kind of front-loaded smoothbore gun. Although this has brought him a great advantage, this advantage has not really become a thing that can influence the war situation, but only allows him to take advantage of more. That's all.

So when the number of enemies reaches a certain level, their technical advantage can no longer continue to influence the battlefield.

Looking at these old Chu Cai's ships surrounded on all sides, Liu Yidao looked into the distance and scolded: "Grandma, why hasn't Luo Xianbin appeared yet? No, if we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!"

After saying this, Liu Yidao had no choice but to order that the whole team began to turn to withdraw from the battlefield and give up continuing to resist these Chu Cai's old fleets.

The sea wolf ships under his command immediately began to turn the rudder collectively and fired another fire at the surrounding enemy ships.

Two old Chu's subordinate ships, who were eager to perform, became victims this time and were beaten into scum by random artillery. One ship was broken on the spot, and a hole was cut out on the hull. The other ship was even more unlucky. It directly disintegrated in the water and broke into two pieces. After a short time, it was buckled into the water. It sank with bubbles, leaving only a rotten board and some people struggling to swim in the water.

Old Chu Cai's men were shocked by the fierce artillery fire of the sea wolf and instinctively paused, allowing Liu Yidao to lead his ships to rush out smoothly. Although in the end, two small boats failed to break out of the siege due to damage to sails, they have enough today. It's cheap and shows the prestige of the sea wolf.

Just as Chu Cai's men rose their sails and accelerated, trying to catch up with Liu Yidao's fleet, in order to avenge the arrow just now, there was a series of fierce gunfire behind them.

These old ships were like being stabbed by a hornet's nest and suddenly became chaotic. The upper bucket on the mast of Liu Yi knife suddenly put down the monocular in his hand and pointed to Liu Yidao below him and shouted: "Deputy! I don't know when the Clippers detachment killed them! Those guys are unlucky! Haha! Look at it!"

After hearing this, Liu Yidao immediately turned to the stern and ran to pick up the telescope in his hand and came to his eyes. He began to stretch out the tube of the telescope to adjust the focal length. Soon the scene in the eyepiece began to become clear, and only saw several flying fast ships with soft sails, made of a pair of masts. The sailboat led and killed from behind the old fleets of Chu Cai like a hungry tiger.

These flying-shaped fastships inserted straight from their backs and maintained high speed. With their rough skin and thick flesh, these flying-shaped fastboats fired wildly along the way, while carrying the shells and stones from the two-winged Chucai old ship, using the various types carried on their boats. The artillery slammed the Chu Cai's old ships that passed along the way without stopping at all.

The armed of these flying fastboats is much stronger than that of ordinary Chinese ships. The sloops are loaded with six-pound guns, and although the trumpet is not a big ship, it is only about 300 ships, and the displacement is only less than 200 tons, but the armed is quite strong. Tough, Yu Xiaotian did not hesitate to load as many cannons as possible. Six 12-pound short guns were stuffed into both sides of the cabin of the lower main deck. Four six-pound guns were also installed on the upper deck. The bow was loaded with a 12-pound long cannon, and a 12-pound short gun in the stern. The whole ship had a total of 12 cannons, which was eye-catching. The firepower of Chinese ships in this era exceeds that of all Chinese warships in this era.

So the firepower of this two-masted sailboat in this era, not to mention the large Western-style Galen ships, are very strong compared with Chinese warships alone.

The ship is equipped with more than 80 crew members, more than half of whom are gunners. Each gun is equipped with two full-time gunners. Other idle personnel on the ship are allocated to these guns as auxiliary gunners in wartime.

During this period, Luo Xianbin was appointed as the management team of the flying fastboat detachment, leading the newly launched brevboat and four other sloops to drill at sea. In just over a month, he basically mastered the basic performance of the brevboat and also took the ship. The sailors trained into a group of fierce guys (originally! These sailors themselves are elites selected from the fleet, and a little training is good!)

Luo Xianbin had already rubbed his hands with the members of his detachment and waited for Chu Cailao to attack. Since the last time they were ambush on Kinmen Island and lost a flying fast ship and dozens of brothers, Luo Xianbin was ashamed of this and vowed to revenge on Chu Cailao and let Chu Cailao taste their flying names again. The ship detachment is powerful.

This time, Chu Cai finally provided an opportunity for Lu Xianbin to revenge. These days, he took his flying fast ship detachment and took the initiative to patrol the sea from the south of Nanri Island to the coast of Meizhou Bay, taking advantage of their fast boat speed to provide more time warning for Nanri Island.

Last night, Feng De was ordered by him to return to Nanri Island to report the news, so that Nanri Island was ready to fight overnight. Luo Xianbin was not idle during the period before dawn. He continued to patrol the southern part of Nanri Island with several ships of the detachment, killing several forward ships sent by Chu Cai's old men to explore the way.

In front of these flying-shaped fastboats, these old fastboats were simply a plate of vegetables. Once Luo Xianbin and others found that they didn't even have a chance to escape, they were killed like cutting melons and vegetables, and even captured two enemy ships on the spot. Luo Xianbin was fierce this time. Xin, in order to prevent the resistance of Chu Cai's old men on the captured ship, he directly tied them into dumplings and threw them into the cabin, sealed the cabin with big nails, and arranged a small number of people to sail the two boats to Treasure Island.

But at dawn, they encountered a little trouble. They met several old boats under Chu Cai and fought with them. For Luo Xianbin and others, it was not a big deal to clean up these boats, but unexpectedly, one of his detachment was busy, and suddenly the steering wheel There was a problem with the transmission mechanism, which led to the failure of the rudder control, and suddenly broke away from the fleet and began to rotate on the sea.

This emergency surprised Luo Xianbin. In order to protect the faulty ship, he had to give up chasing the remaining enemy ship and cover the ship for repair after killing the two ships, which also delayed a lot of time.

The helmsman and the ship's carpenter on the problematic ship went crazy to repair it. Finally, it took half an hour to repair the problem and restore the ship's mobility. Luo Xianbin then took the Clippers detachment to the South Japan Channel to pick up Liu Yidao.

This is also the reason why they came late, but they finally arrived at the critical moment. Liu Yidao just led the team to withdraw from the battlefield, and the enemy fleet was also pursuing it. At this time, Luo Xianbin led the team to quickly kill Chu Cai's old fleet and beat Chu Cai's old men. I was caught off guard.

However, due to their delay, they also lost the opportunity to attack their opponents with Liu Yidao, so Luo Xianbin had to order a change of plan and rely on their speed advantages to attack Chu Cailao's fleet directly from behind, and no longer fight with them in this not wide water.

Therefore, as soon as they appeared, they quickly entered the enemy's formation in a vertical formation, gave full play to the firepower of the cannons arranged on both sides of the ship, and bombarded the enemy ships overpassing along the way.

Their sudden appearance also completely ended the idea that Chu Cai's old fleet wanted to chase Liu Yidao's fleet. Dozens of boats were like stabbed hornets and immediately blew up their nests.

One of these old men, Chu Cai's men, had encountered this kind of flying fast boat and knew their strength. As soon as they saw them coming out from behind, they immediately exclaimed: "Ghost ship! The ghost ship is coming! Oh my God! These are all ghost boats! ......”

Because Chu Cai's old men suffered so much from eating these ghost boats some time ago, they passed on the power of the ghost boats. In the case that they could not explain why these ghost boats ran so fast and resisted so much, they put a mysterious coat on these ghost boats, and some people even later Rumor has it that these ghost boats are seawolves who invited mages to do it for them and ghosts to possess them, which made these ghost boats so powerful.

This rumor spread more and more and more evil, so that these ghost ships were about to become divine ships later. Chu Cai's old men have basically heard of various versions of legends about ghost ships, and now almost all of them are afraid of such ghost ships.

So when Luo Xianbin appeared behind them and killed their fleet at high speed, these old Chu Cai's men were suddenly urinating and almost had no idea of resisting, and even forgetting that their number far exceeded these ghost ships. Some boats Even the idea of resistance could not rise, so he quickly turned the steering wheel and fled, and suddenly became a pot of porridge.

Some boats collided with a friend ship because they ran too fast and panicked. The big boat collided with the small boat and collided with each other. A lucky boat even knocked a bird boat into the sea water.

Luo Xianbin led the team to rush to kill, rushing the team of old Chu Cai's fleet into a mess, and taking the opportunity to injure several enemy ships and destroy an enemy ship. In addition, the collision accident that occurred in their own panic, they scattered the team of Chu Cai's men as birds and beasts.

(Wow, yesterday's monthly ticket was not good! Only two! Please, which brother has a monthly ticket in his hand? Help me stay!)
