Boom, boom, boom!
Thunderous drum beats suddenly sounded, and a unanimous voice came from several cabins: "Raise the partition!"
Luo Guanying frowned and shouted loudly. The partition outside the treasure ship was opened. Through a small square hole, Luo Guanying saw the fleet of small boats approaching in the distance, and then shouted: "Get on the cannon!"
"Get on the gun rock!"
The sound was loud.
Shen Wei opened a wooden box and was about to take out the solid bullets when he heard Luo Guanying shout: "Fill the submunitions first. Our target is the Qi Throne Ship, not these little minions!"
"But the Qi Throne ship is still far away, two miles away, and the sub-munition bombs can't reach it!" Shen Wei quickly glanced at the sea, gestured with his fingers, calculated the approximate distance, and then said: "We should clean up these small boats first Now, let’s deal with King Qi again!”
Luo Guanying stared at the sea and said, "Brother Shen, do you know how many Menshen cannons are on the treasure ship?"
Shen Wei frowned and said: "There are sixteen divine machine cannons in one row of gun positions, four rows of gun positions on one side, and a total of one hundred and twenty-eight divine machine cannons on the left and right sides."
Luo Guanying tapped the wall of the ship with her fingers and said with a smile: "Then look at how many ships King Qi sent to pursue the treasure ship idea?"
Shen Wei suddenly understood that King Qi's fleet seemed powerful, but the total number was only more than 200, which was not enough for one treasure ship to cover two ships. What's more, there were only more than 30 ships coming for his own treasure ship. It's just a ship, with just one gun position, it's completely possible to send them to the bottom of the sea without turning the rudder.
In a word, there is no need for everyone to take action...
"Listen to him and get ready."
Zhao Shiyu was the oldest among the four. He spoke French, and Shen Wei stopped insisting and took out solid bullets, which are round iron balls of one large and one small, connected by iron chains in the middle.
After stuffing the submunition bombs into the barrel, Zhao Shiyu and Yuan Yichen quickly pushed the barrel out. The black muzzle did not point slightly downward to aim at the incoming ship, but kept calibrating in the direction of the Qi Throne Ship.
Zheng He looked at the boats, with a stern smile on his lips, and ordered Li Xing: "Persuade Li Xing to surrender three times. After three times, not a single inch will be left behind!"
Li Xing issued the order.
Several sergeants with loud voices stood on the deck, holding shields and shouting towards the sea ahead: "The main culprit will be brought to justice. Threats will never be asked. Surrender will avoid death. You can dock the ship and wait for disposal. If he is stubborn, he will be killed." whether!"
Phew!
Ding!
The shield blocked the flying arrows, and the sergeant who shouted became angry and said to the herald: "I have shouted three times, the enemy will not surrender!"
The herald's face was livid. Damn it, I shot you with an arrow. You omitted to shout twice. How can this be done? You must implement the orders of the deputy commander...
Buzz, the arrow was stuck on the mast, very close to the herald. The herald wiped his cold sweat and immediately shouted: "Tell the deputy commander, the enemy refuses to surrender, the only way is to fight!"
After Zheng He learned the news, he said to Li Xing: "Give me the order. The first round of divine machine guns must not be aimed at the ship. Instead, aim at the side of the ship and the sea near the ship!"
"Deputy Commander!"
Li Xing was a little anxious. What kind of military order was this? The enemies had already come to kill them, so why should they be merciful?
Zheng He slapped the table and shouted: "It was the King of Qi who rebelled, not these people! They are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty, not Japanese pirates!"
Li Xing looked at Zheng He who looked solemn,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He reminded: "The rebels are the enemies. Besides, we have already shouted, but they still dare to approach the treasure ship, which means that their status as enemies has surpassed their status as citizens of the Ming Dynasty!"
Zheng He looked at Li Xing and said seriously: "I know that benevolence does not lead the army, and righteousness does not lead to justice, but I also know that war will kill people and destroy families! Giving them a chance to live is not to show our weakness. But it shows our strength!”
Letting more people live is never something the weak do.
Li Xing seemed to understand but still firmly believed in Zheng He and conveyed the instructions.
The opponent's ship had entered within two hundred steps, and the opponent had begun to suppress it with bows and arrows, even with the sound of firecrackers.
Zheng He calmly ordered: "Fire!"
"fire!"
Li Xing screamed.
"fire!"
The messenger shouted loudly, and the sound spread to every cabin!
The sergeant took out the matchstick, blew out the sparks, and then placed it on the match rope. The match was lit, and the sizzling sound seemed so weak. The match disappeared in a blink of an eye, and only a dull and violent sound was heard. Immediately, the entire body of the divine machine gun violently The ground fell back. If it weren't for the rope, I'm afraid the backlash of the divine machine cannon would have hurt someone with this blow.
Solid shells and cannon stones flew out one after another. The cannon stones, like small watermelons, drew a graceful arc and fell into the sea, causing countless waves. Some of the cannon stones also hit the ship, and the small plank was instantly pierced. , seawater gurgled into it, and the people on the ship quickly abandoned the ship when they saw this.
If you're still on the boat, wouldn't that make you a living target?
The second attempt to persuade Zheng He to surrender began, but still no one agreed. Duan Hong saw that Zheng He's fleet was nothing more than this. After a round of strikes, most of them hit the sea, damaging two ships. His morale was boosted and he shouted Said: "The Ming army is incompetent, go ahead, as long as you break the naval fleet, Nanjing will be at your fingertips!"
Encouraged by Duan Hong and driven by King Qi's money, the remaining sergeants gritted their teeth and moved forward.
Zheng He took a clear look through the telescope and understood that if he didn't show his sincerity, the other party would not listen to his advice to surrender. Since he didn't even want to give up, then don't blame yourself.
"Change the gunpowder and cannon stones to sink the ship, and then order the helmsman and sailors to attack the throne ship!"
Zheng He did not insist anymore. The opportunity was only given to them once. If he did not cherish it, then continuing would be irresponsible and cruel to his own soldiers. Rather than letting his own soldiers be injured or die in battle, it would be better to send them all to hell.
Qi King Zhu Su was a little excited when he saw the charging fleet. The Ming Dynasty Navy was nothing more than that. It blinded such a big warship and equipped with so many artillery, but none of them could hit accurately. Shouldn't this group of people be able to fire accurately? He's a new recruit and doesn't know anything, right?
It seems that Danyangzi is right, he is really blessed with good luck during this trip! It's a pity that Danyangzi himself didn't come. If he came, I think it would be an eye-opener.
"Beat me...!"
Just as King Qi was about to beat the drum and move forward, he saw a scene that horrified him. Rows of cannon stones flew out and hit the ship accurately. Not only that, the cannon stones also made a deafening sound and exploded. People were directly torn apart, with countless limbs and arms broken off. Some people were even thrown out and fell to the sea without knowing whether they were alive or dead!
After a round of cannon stones fell, as many as 11 of the thirty or so ships that besieged the Dabao Ship were sunk, and eight or nine other ships were seriously damaged, resulting in heavy losses. Before King Qi could react, the retracted artillery pieces on the Dabao Ship were fired again. Stretched out...
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"not good!"
King Qi's eyes widened instantly, fire shot into the sky, and cannons roared!
Planks of wood flew and the blue sea was stained with blood!
Duan Hong knelt on the deck, looking at the rapidly approaching big treasure ship, and for the first time he raised a question: "Is there any other opponent in this world that is such a beast?"
The big treasure ship had many sails, but only three were hung, and it came quickly with the southeast wind.
Duan Hong looked at the broken Dafu Ship, the dead sergeants beside him, and the flames around him. He drew his sword and shouted at the approaching treasure ship: "I, Duan Hong, want to fight you to the death!"
"boom!"
An unknown sergeant gave Duan Hong a blunderbuss.
Yes, this guy who wants to fight has stopped here.
The treasure ship passed by, and the bow made of iron wood was like a thick knife without an edge, directly crushing Duan Hong's broken Dafu ship. The broken wooden planks were directly pressed to the bottom of the sea, along with the bodies of Duan Hong and others.
Only then did Qi King Zhu Yan realize that he had thought too simply about the Ming Dynasty Navy. He planned the curse, prepared the route, and planned to take Nanjing directly. However, he never thought that he would not be blocked outside Nanjing. , but was blocked from the Yangtze River Estuary!
The strength of the navy exceeded his imagination, and only one of this super giant ships was enough to compare with a fleet of more than a dozen Dafu ships!
And with all his plans, he only had fifteen Dafu ships. Oh, there are still nine ships left, and his own side was completely wiped out before they could even get close to the forward!
Zhu Shu trembled, the man-devouring sea beast was rushing towards him.
escape!
No further delay!
"Ming Jin, Ming Jin!"
Zhu Shu lost the will to fight and quickly ordered Chai Zhiming Jin.
The so-called marching with beating drums and withdrawing troops with the sound of gold, but usually the word "mingjin" is just a neutral word, which can mean arrogance or despair.
For Zhu Shu, Ming Jin at this time is synonymous with escape...
The sound of ringing gold spread far away, and Zheng He's treasure ship naturally heard the sound. He just ordered to hang an extra sail, and then chased Zhu Shu's fleet. Zhu Shu's fleet was completely defeated and fled in all directions. Some Heading towards the shore, some were heading towards the wind direction of the deep sea, while others were following Zhu Su's fleet and escaping northward.
Zheng He ignored the deserters from the east and west directions. That was something that the follow-up Dafu Ship needed to take care of and had nothing to do with him.
The three treasure ships kept a close eye on Zhu Shu. Zhu Shu experienced the dilemma of calling the sky and the earth to respond. Although the treasure ship was huge, it was faster than his own big fortune ship. He was about to pull him away. Four hundred steps away, Zhu Shu was so anxious that he was running around in circles.
"Your Majesty, there are rocks in that sea. We can use the rocks to destroy the Ming Navy!"
Chai pointed straight at the sea in front and shouted.
Zhu Su was overjoyed and quickly ordered the sergeant to turn around. The reef is under the sea surface, so the Dafu ship has a shallow draft and there is no problem. But for a treasure ship as big as a treasure ship, the draft must be deep. Once it gets here, it will definitely end up being a shipwreck.
Zheng He saw Zhu Shu's movements clearly through the telescope. Although he didn't know why the broad sea didn't move and suddenly turned, the distance of four hundred steps was enough.
The treasure ship came sideways, and as soon as the order to fire was given, a cannon stone was fired first. The strong backlash shocked Zhao Shiyu, Yuan Yichen and others. They couldn't help but look at Luo Guanying depressedly and asked a common question: " How much gunpowder did you put in this time?"
