Chapter 5 Chapter 139

Chen Zuyi's ship suddenly launched, and the pirate soldiers on board waiting in line for inspection also ran to stand, picked up their bows and crossbows, and threw their guns. Zheng He, who was standing on the prow of the huge ship, smiled. He waved his hand lightly. Several huge sails had already been lowered by half, but suddenly they were pulled up again at full speed, and the huge anchor that was about to enter the water also stopped instantly. The tip of the anchor had just touched the sea surface. The waves stopped abruptly. During the day, the sea breeze blows from the ocean to the land. Because the harbor is in the shape of a trumpet, the wind is multiplied after the sea breeze blows into the harbor. The huge sails on the ship are blown by the strong wind, and the whole giant ship looks like a Godzilla monster. Yes, rushing forward recklessly.At the same time, the large ships on the left and right of the giant ship quickly spread out to the left and right, and dozens of small warships interspersed in, rushing forward quickly.

Chen Zuyi wanted to execute a beheading tactic, but the huge mouth that was thrown open suffered bad luck first. woo woo woo woo All the warships of the Ming army hoisted their full sails, accelerated suddenly, and greeted them grandly, as if Mount Tai was pressing an egg. boom!boom! The giant ships deployed to both sides took the lead in firing, and the cannons roared in turn. The sound of the cannons was deafening, and the seabirds flew high. Chen Zuyi was shocked on the shore. The current situation is like a military exercise agreed upon by the two sides, and the attack was launched almost at the same time. How could this be?

In his original plan, he first seized the giant ship, beheaded its head, and then took advantage of the chaos of the Ming army and the dragons without a leader, and then smashed them one by one. By then, the Ming army's warships would be crowded together and unable to use it, and their ships had already stopped , No matter how you want to pull the anchor and sail, the motivation for action is not enough, so you can only let it be slaughtered. In the future, his warships ambushing outside the port will seal the exit in time, and there are still a large number of soldiers ambushing him on the shore, which is enough to eat up the entire Ming army, but now

Zheng He stood on the tall bridge with a sneer of disdain. He was in the limelight, and standing at such a high place, overlooking the entire harbor, he didn't even have to worry about the other party's arrows hitting this position and causing any damage. Jumping clown!What is in front of me is just a group of jumping beam clowns, stepping on this giant ship, it makes people feel a kind of invincible loneliness boom!boom! Cannonballs hit the enemy ship one after another, and what fell into the sea only caused a huge wave, but what fell on the hull was miserable. How could a pirate ship withstand such a heavy blow? When it shattered, when it hit the deck, there was a huge deep pit, and sawdust and splinters flew around, making those hapless pirates scream and howl.

boom!Boom! The cannon barrels spouted fury, the battleship plowed open the sea, the huge sails swelled up the wind, the sea was filled with gunpowder smoke, the horns roared, the guns rumbled, and the heavy solid iron bullets whizzed out, making ghosts howl. As soon as the battle broke out, several of Chen Zuyi's warships lost power and stopped there, letting the sea water pour up from the bottom of the ship like a fountain. Sink and half float.As soon as they fought, the pirates suffered heavy losses, and at this time the Ming army had no casualties. Closer, closer! Perhaps there is still a glimmer of chance in the gang battle. Chen Zuyi does not believe that the Ming army can also gain an advantage in hand-to-hand combat on board.

It's a pity that Zheng He didn't give him a chance to prove it.The life of a soldier is precious, if you can easily take your life, why fight with strength? Seeing that the ships on both sides are about to approach, ten feet, nine feet, eight feet Luckily, the pirates who survived were fierce. They had already abandoned their bows and crossbows. They grabbed their big swords, scratched and poked them, and were about to jump into battle. Suddenly, long, thin pipes appeared on the warships of the Ming army, and then there were strands of jet-black The oily kerosene sprayed on the enemy ships like heavy rain.

Almost at the same time, some Ming soldiers in mandarin duck battle jackets also suddenly appeared on the side of the ship. They were holding a length of rope in their hands, and there was a jet-black thing tied to the rope, which looked like urine jars. It is generally ugly, and there is a piece of gunpowder on top of the jar, whistling and swallowing flames. put! One by one cans suddenly flew out of their hands, flying towards the pirate battleship, bang!The pot fell to the ground, the gunpowder splashed and burned violently, and then ignited the kerosene flowing everywhere. Pirate ships turned into burning torches. Running to the side of the boat, a beautiful diving leap into the sea, and more people never had a chance to break out of the volcano.

The ships of the two sides were completely close. Because of the fire, the pirate ship did not slow down or adjust its course so that the sides of the ship could touch each other. However, the Ming army did not slow down at all, let alone dodge, and just collided straightly. Even if the warships of the Ming army were small ships, they were generally one size larger and taller than the pirate ships, and they just bumped into them straight, like a rhinoceros! Savage dash! Angle ramming tactics are usually not used casually in naval battles, because ramming tactic will inevitably cause certain damage to your own warships while causing damage to enemy ships, and angle ramming attacks are more complicated than attacking with shipborne weapons, and are harmful to the helmsman and The skills of the crew and the operation of the ship are more demanding, and head-on collisions are especially dangerous in ramming battles.

However, the Ming army's ships had already taken an absolute advantage, so they rushed forward without using the ramming tactics at all. The ramming angle of the Ming army is blunt, and the sharp ramming angle is easy to lock the two ships together after ramming through the hull of the enemy ship. In the age when the main force of the wind was used as the driving force, it was very difficult to separate them again. Only hand-to-hand combat can be performed, and the Ming army obviously did not want to have close contact with the enemy, so they used obtuse angles. In fact, before the Ming army set off, they had already learned about Chen Zuyi's pirate ship through various channels. They knew very well that the enemy ships did not have the conditions to collide with the Ming army, and the quality of the two ships was not at the same level. Collision, the damage suffered by one's own battleship will be negligible.

On ocean voyages, the replenishment of soldiers is a big problem, so between the damage of soldiers and the slight damage of ships, their commanders chose the latter without hesitation. The Ming army not only fully understood the situation of Chen Zuyi's fleet and ships before the operation, but also informed all the attendants of the fleet, including all the merchants, the news that Chen Zuyi might have ulterior motives. The purpose of doing so was naturally to let them know , so that when those who don't know the truth or those with a heart deliberately spread news that is not conducive to the Ming army, they are the most direct and powerful witnesses.

At this moment, they were fortunate enough to witness the entire battle, which was not at the same level at all. This is not a battle at all, it was completely ravaged by one side. It was as if a big man who was eight feet tall and weighed two hundred and sixty catties held down a five-year-old yellow-haired girl and beat her hard with her bowl-sized fist. boom! The pirate ships that were first bombarded, then burned, and finally hit by an obtuse angle were instantly wiped out in the collision. Five pirate ships were smashed to pieces on the spot and scattered into piles of burning waste wood, burning on the sea surface. Some of the pirates who were not hit by the shells or burned to death by the flames were knocked into the sea, and some were hit hard and fell on the deck, making their heads dizzy. After this collision, the warships of the Ming army also stopped, and soldiers appeared on the deck one after another, holding firecrackers, aiming at the pirates who survived the catastrophe, and practiced marksmanship. On the deck, Xia Xun looked at it with a smile. Su Ying stood aside, dressed in a strong outfit, and she was beaming with joy. Tang Sai'er clenched her fists and kept cheering, her pretty little face flushed red. Hehe, Mr. Fei Yinglun, what do you think? Xia Xun smiled and patted Fei Yinglun on the shoulder. Fei Yinglun made an ahhh sound, but didn't answer at all. He was staring straight ahead. Directly ahead, Zheng He's main ship has not stopped, and is rushing towards the pier. Wherever the giant ship passed by, the two enemy ships rushing forward, the fishing boats and merchant ships moored at the pier, were not overturned or smashed one by one at all, but were rolled to the bottom of the ship everywhere the giant ship passed. The giant ship passed by, and the plowed sea water was surging. It took a long time to turn over a pile of wooden fragments. It was amazing!horrible! When Xia Xun was talking to him, the huge ship was only a hundred feet away from the pier. Fei Yinglun clenched his fists and watched with wide eyes. Seeing the momentum, he almost thought that the huge ship was going to rush to the pier. It directly crushed Chen Zuyi into thin slices. Fortunately, the huge ship finally made a move to stop at this time. The nine-section mast on the huge ship coincidentally lowered the sails with a bang, and the two large anchors on the left and right sides of the large ship were also released at the same time. Unexpectedly, something went wrong at the critical moment, the right anchor entered the water smoothly, but the left anchor got stuck.It is very difficult to start such a huge ship, and it is also very difficult to stop. Although all the sails are down, the huge inertia still makes the ship rush forward quickly. A giant rudder with a diameter comparable to the length of Columbus's flagship. The big ship turned in time, drew a corner, and approached the pier, but the left anchor flicked, and the stuck iron chain suddenly loosened. , actually threw it towards the pier by inertia, and pulled it from left to right. This scene was seen by Fei Yinglun, who just breathed a sigh of relief and widened his eyes again, and saw that the anchor was thrown ashore like a weapon in the hands of Boston, the god of the sea, and then plowed from left to right, where the giant anchor passed, Countless limbs and broken arms flew into the air.Standing in front of the pier was a crowd pretending to be welcoming, behind them were Chen Zuyi's army, and the giant anchor was rampaging among these troops, forcibly plowing a huge gap. The giant ship almost finished its turn by rubbing against the pier. The right anchor at the back was tightened, and the left anchor in front also stopped on the land with all its strength. Half of the anchor tip was buried in the ground, and the other half was exposed to the sun. It was bloody and bloody. Down
