East China Sea, Shamen, and the waters southwest of Tuoji Island.
The rush boat is a large Chinese boat that can be used as a warship, fishing and transporting wood. Because the bottom of the boat is often painted with white ash or white paint to prevent barnacles and other marine insects from corroding it, it is also called a "white bottom boat." Among them, the big boat is 36 meters long, about seven meters wide, has 20 cabins, and can carry 1,500 stones. Each ship is equipped with more than thirty sailors and boatmen, and eighty soldiers and artillerymen. Zhongganzhuan is 23 meters long, 6 meters wide and 2 meters deep. It has 16 cabins and is equipped with more than 20 sailors and boatmen, and 60 soldiers and artillerymen. Among them, the large and medium-sized boats have two masts, two rudders, and two iron anchors. Therefore, it became one of the main battleships in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and at the same time, it was also one of the best battleships in China in the Age of Sail!
It is not difficult to see from the above that the rushing ship is a new warship of suitable size and considerable power. Compared with it, the old-fashioned Fuchuan commonly equipped by Chiyang, as well as the derivative models of Fuchuan, the sentinel ship, Haicang, and Cangshan The other ships are not only poor in seaworthiness, but also far inferior in firepower. The former can be equipped with a 2,700-jin Hongyi twelve-pound cannon and a half-snake gun, and a nine-hundred-jin Hongyi six-pound cannon Mining Chang. There are four cannons, four copper tribute cannons weighing 800 kilograms, four Ye Gong Shen guns with Tianzi guns, and six Baizi guns. They are not like the Ye Gong Shen guns that fire six or seven kilograms of cannonballs on the Chiyang ship. Zigun, Tianzigun is responsible for firepower, how can you compare with others? It's hard to say that if someone stops the boat and lets you bombard it for a while, it won't lose much health, but as long as it fires a round of shells at you, it may seriously damage the old-fashioned Fuchuan with its thin deck! Therefore, when the three large and small ships under You Dewei's command faced the Ming Navy patrol ships with strong ships and powerful guns, they could only choose to fight in groups or set fire to them, instead of fighting alone as a man! The so-called "beating the master to death with random punches", the temporary commander of the Chiyang rescue fleet did not believe that if his three blessing ships attacked at the same time, what good could the Ming Navy patrol boat get?
"Click, click..." However, as great as the hope is, there is also great disappointment! Before Chiyang's five or six arson boats could get close enough, the lower artillery deck of the Ming Navy patrol ship once again spewed out white smoke and hot shells! This time the accuracy of the Ming army's gunners was much higher than before. The bronze tribute cannon, the Mining long cannon, and Ye Gong's divine gun fired five kilograms, five and a half kilograms, and seven kilograms of shells in sequence, just like It hit the thin deck of Fu Chuan like a violent storm! Next, with the heartbreaking sound of wood breaking and breaking, there were shockingly large holes in the sentinel ship headed by Chiyang! The three types of artillery shells, especially the six-pound artillery shells, are driven by a sufficient amount of black powder, and the power they exert is simply unreasonable! Not only did it destroy the hull of the former ship like a torrent, but it also created strips of flesh and blood on the deck. No one or thing is worth mentioning in front of them. No matter whether you are a strong swordsman or a heavy The strong large and small artillery pieces will break muscles and fractures or be overturned into the sea as long as they are hit or scratched by them. Iron ball shells the size of fists continue to wreak havoc on the decks of enemy ships, beating the opponent until they cry for father and mother, and suffer a lot. !
"すべての人は, meet the Zhang りが cited き続きマストにいて enemy situation を観Observation し, すべてobstacle に retreat して cannon を avoid けるこ とを evacuate いて, 缲り return The effective range of the gunし け け い ませ ん. Violators は は 厳 厳 に に に に に に する する する する. , all artillery must not fire within the effective range, and those who violate the order will be severely punished, this is not a joke, this is not a joke)!"
Faced with the repeated ravages of the Ming army's half-snake muskets, Mining's long cannons, and Ye Gong's divine muskets, You Dewei remained unmoved. He just ordered most of the people on the deck to evacuate to wooden boxes and sandbags to avoid the cannons! After all, the distance between the two sides is still 200 steps. Even if the short-barreled Ye Gong Shengun equipped by Chiyang fires now, there is a high chance of missing. It is better to push forward to within 100 steps under the enemy's fire and then fire. , not only the accuracy is greatly improved, but the shells fired are also more powerful, and may be able to injure a large number of sailors and artillerymen on the deck of the enemy ship. As for breaking through the defense of the rushing ship, the former has no extravagant hope, and the latter is due to Although the hull made of pine and fir is not as strong as the European Galen ship, it is more than enough to withstand the short barrel and the small-diameter Ye Gong God gun! Therefore, You Dewei targeted the sailors and artillerymen on the enemy ship as soon as he came up, and the facts proved that his response was correct! When the two sides were successfully brought within a hundred steps, Chiyang suddenly fired a large number of six or seven kilogram shells, which caused a lot of trouble to the Ming army sailors and artillerymen! The artillery flying everywhere couldn't help but hit the Hongyi cannon, and Ye Gong's magic gun clanked, and also knocked down a large area of the Ming army sailors and artillerymen who controlled them!
"Let's bring up the reserve gunners to fight. Damn, these bozos can really endure it and don't fire until they are within a hundred steps. But if they think they can take us down in this way, then they underestimate the world. What a hero! Deputy Sentinel Commander Xu, take people to assist the gunners in firing the cannons, and tell them that you don’t want to take prisoners, and let them beat you hard!"
Seeing the navy battalion soldiers who had been with him for many years lying in a pool of blood, Yang Jiyuan, the second sentry officer of the Dengzhou Navy rear camp, couldn't help but became furious. How could he, who felt that everything was in control, tolerate Chiyang, a little shrimp, wimping out in front of him? son! So, under his command, the Ming army rushed to the ship with full firepower. The large and small artillery on the upper and lower artillery decks opened fire one after another. The rising smoke even enveloped the entire ship, and those who tried to get close to set fire Chiyang's small boat was instantly turned into a hornet's nest by the shotgun shells fired from the cannons on the upper gun deck of the ship. At the same time, even a large ship of Chiyang was seriously injured under the intensive artillery fire of the rushing ship. This was Yoder. Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei quickly rushed forward with his own ship to replace the unlucky ship! Otherwise, the first sunken ship of the Chiyang fleet might have appeared in this sea area today!
"発拍,発爆, どのような gun であっても, 老子はあなた达に缾をall発shootするようにRequirementし, residual りのall members, regular army, pre-prepared troops, そして新annexed armyをHan め、Weapon を手にして, the enemy's boarding battle is ready (fire, fire, no matter what kind of cannon it is, I ask you all to shoot out the cannonballs, and everyone else, including the regular army, reserve troops, and new auxiliary troops, take up Weapons, prepare to join forces and engage in a boarding battle with the enemy)!"
Looking at the warships that were riddled with holes and were about to sink, You Dewei felt really angry in his heart! This was his first time as the commander of a fleet. Unexpectedly, before the seat was warm, the Ming navy rushed up and slapped him in the face indiscriminately. If he hadn't ordered the ship to rush in time just now, On board, he took over the fatal wave of six-pound shells in place of his seriously injured companion ship, who could not believe that he had already sunk into the cold sea water with full of grievance! When he thought that he might be relegated to another book by the general manager Liu Laoliu because of this incident, You Dewei immediately ordered all artillery to fire a salvo on the opponent's artillery deck, and organized a large number of manpower to prepare to join the gang and seize the enemy ship. He wanted to use the enemy's His blood and head wash away his shame, proving that the General Manager did not entrust him with the power of command!
"On the upper artillery deck, the large Folang machine and the tiger crouching gun are ready. Aim at the enemy ship and jump to join the sailors and fire freely immediately. Don't let them get close to our shuttle boat..." Yang Jiyuan tilted his head slightly to the side, and that's it. He narrowly avoided a hot cannonball flying towards him! Next, as the command to fire was given, the upper artillery deck, which had been silent until now, instantly took off its disguise. The Ye Gong Divine Cannon and Tiger Crouching Cannon, which had been waiting impatiently for a long time, spit out fire under the control of the gunner. There were orange gun flames and a lot of scattering! In the blink of an eye, a large number of sailors armed with hook guns and flying claws were knocked down on the deck of the Chiyang sentry ship!
"いいOpportunity です. Urgent いでもたれかかってください. そうしないと, brother たちのblood はむだになってしまいます. All人がロープを通って, jump board がSuhayao, enemy ship にride, り込み, さらに恫撓肉まんを缲り広げて, the enemy of the disease, the enemy, all retreated, この大きな Ship, the boat is taken, and the one who is rewarded is ています (good opportunity, hurry up, otherwise the blood of the brothers will be shed in vain, everyone passes the rope , quickly board the enemy ship on the springboard, then engage in hand-to-hand combat, eliminate all the cowardly enemies, and seize this big ship, everyone will be rewarded)!"
To be honest, the Ming Navy's response to the patrol ship was not untimely, nor was it not unsharp! But they ignored one thing, that is, there were three ships that Chiyang attacked at the same time. They concentrated fire and severely damaged the jump gang members on one ship. However, more jump gang members appeared as the distance between the two sides narrowed. , successfully hooked the flying claw in his hand onto their shuttle boat! At this time, the shortcomings of the lack of coordinated operations by small ships completely broke out. Without the protection of the latter, one of Chiyang's bird boats easily got close to the rushing ship, and the upper deck of the rushing ship had just finished shooting a round. All the artillery shells were still being loaded intensively, and they were unable to effectively prevent the enemy ships from approaching. As for the lower artillery deck, the bird ship entered its blind spot and was unable to launch cannon attacks! As a result, a large number of Chiyang's regular flag troops, reserve troops, and Japanese newly attached troops passed the ropes and planks and began to launch springboard attacks on the former. While the sailors on the boats were rushing, the sailors could only rely on matchlock guns such as Rumi guns and bird guns. With weak resistance!
