open sea

Chapter 881
In the era of cold weapons, the difficulty of human living conditions is usually proportional to the degree of bravery in combat.

The poorer the mountains, the more brave and good at fighting they are, until they enter the prosperous land and lose their own harsh environment, this kind of bravery will become a legend along with the ancient tradition.

This rule applies to most people, but it is not suitable for the Central Plains. The Central Plains dynasty often has extraordinary organizational capabilities, metallurgical technology, and agricultural technology during a stable period, which cannot be compared with the surroundings.

You use a spear, I use a spear, you win, well, this is bravery.

You use a bronze arc knife and wear leather armor. I put an iron ring on my waist, wear an iron armor and wear an iron helmet on my head, and hold an iron divination halberd on the ground. I take off the rhubarb that has been stringed from the back at a distance of 100 meters. Participating in Liannu...you are already very brave if you dare to fight me.

How can I prove that 'I' is brave?Can't prove it.

No one is willing to be brave, they are more willing to point at Wangshan and buckle the hanging knife, the crossbow string trembles lightly, Duo, you are dead.

But the Warriors of the White Mountain Battalion in the Caribbean had a chance to prove it.

When the Jiazi ship and the Calais battleship crossed each other, the two warships bombarded each other almost at the same time. The wrought iron Francophone mounted on the Calais ship fired at the same time, and the shells the size of a child's fist rained on the Jiazi ship's plank. but their boats were too low and their guns too small.

What's the use even if it's as dense as raindrops?The thick side boards blocked all the shells, and the shells hit the side of the Jiazi Ship like a hornet's nest. There were shells embedded in the boards everywhere, but none of them could penetrate the boards.

The height of the upper and lower floors also prevented any shells from falling on the deck to hurt the flag army.

The situation of the Jiazi ship firing is different. More than ten guns on the side of General Zhenshuo fired from the front to the back. The precision hits brought by the good training of the Beiyang Banner Army.

The shells almost lifted the wooden roof of the Calais battleship into the sea. Lamb could even see with the naked eye a Fran cannon fixed on the starboard side was hit by the shells fired by the Ming army and flew up, and then fell heavily to the ground. The stern of the ship is inserted obliquely and smashed through the stern gun shed.

Another round of shelling can easily bombard this pirate galley warship carrying more than 400 people until it loses combat effectiveness.

But what Lamb couldn't figure out was that the warships of the Ming army didn't seem to have this awareness. After only one bombardment at the staggered time, they rushed towards the two Carrick sailboats behind at full speed. The captain from the Netherlands even heard The cheers of the pirates on Calais.

After a short period of panic, the frantic pirates threw the bodies of the sailors who died in the shelling into the sea. More than 40 huge oars were shaken.

Another operation that Captain Netherland could not understand occurred.

The only two gunboats in the Fuchuan formation of the Ming army, which looked not weak in combat power, only fired a few shots, and then followed the big ships.

Leaving six Fuchuan with basically no artillery, they alone dealt with the impact of the Calais battleship.

The two [-]-ship shark ships were Korean soldiers from the Baishan Battalion, and they were ordered to attack the enemy ships as a support in the battle between the Jiazi ship and the two large enemy ships.

As a generation with new and old combat ideas, whether it is Nanyang, Beiyang, or students in the martial arts hall, these naval generals have strong contradictions in their attitudes towards naval warfare.

On the one hand, they are superstitious about firepower, and they seldom even mention capturing ships in wars, and the most common order is simply to sink them.

On the other hand, every officer who dreams of becoming an admiral of the navy sails on a warship loaded with more than [-] heavy guns, and hopes that there will be a battle of burning Chibi in the name of ancient times, or directly crushing enemy ships with ships. feat.

Now they were about to watch the Calais ram their ships with their sharp, strong prows.

The sailors belonged to the Baishan Battalion, and the crew of a small flag on the ship were all from the Nanyang Army. Captain Lamb hurriedly grabbed the rudder and turned the course to avoid the collision of the Calais ship. Without avoiding it, the large sail that looked like a swan's wings sailed straight towards the Calais ship.

At the moment before the impact, Lamb also saw soldiers with long knives in their mouths busy putting crude armor on their chests full of tropical ulcers.

The armor is like a leather vest, with only a round breastplate on the chest. Not only is it relatively crude and airtight, it is the armor they brought from their hometown. At that time, everyone knew that Majiagang was cold, but no one knew. Caribbean heat.

To be honest, Li Dan may think that everything can be used in sea battles, but if Chen Mu were to choose, he would rather let the Jurchen warriors gallop across the American continent than put them on a boat to make a fool of themselves.

However, when the two ships collided, things developed beyond Lamb's expectations.

The Calais ship with a ramming angle almost built its bow into the blessing boat. The cracked hull allowed a large amount of sea water to pour in, but the ship did not sink further.

The two Fuchuan that followed passed by the two ships that collided with each other from left to right. The huge sail bones entangled and collided in the air until they broke together. At the same time, more than 40 Calais battleships were crushed. A big paddle, this is the best speed bump for Fuchuan on the sea.

The lucky boats on both sides threw the hooks condescendingly, and pieces of wood used for jumping were quickly placed between the ships. The Calais ship was crowded with people, and the sailors who lost their oars and sails grabbed their weapons from the roof. Shooting from the oar window to both sides, soldiers holding short spears, hatchets and long swords climbed up to the ceiling, trying to counter-attack Fuchuan by virtue of its "strength superiority".

Strength advantage?

nonexistent.

Although the muskets were accurate and ruthless, they had a slow rate of fire after all, and the French pirates themselves did not have many muskets, not to mention that the ceiling of the Calais ship blocked most of the space where they could shoot.

On the contrary, their crossbows were more powerful than muskets at this time, shooting down several Baishan soldiers.

The soldiers of the Baishan Battalion shot downwards with their big bows on the sides of the three blessing boats. First, they were surrounded on three sides, and second, they were condescending. The distance between them was no more than ten steps. The pirates who tried their best to get out of the canopy shot into a hornet's nest, and the wailing of the pirates who survived the arrow resounded on the sea.

Fortunately, it was not enough for the uninjured pirates to retreat to the cabin. The archers shot at the oar windows and the gun holes one after another.

At this moment, Nalakanggulu, who had finally put on his armor, pushed away the archer on the side of the ship from the left-wing blessing boat. Even if there is only one, the boat will not be able to shake.

Therefore, Kang Gulu smiled happily, and raised the Ming waist knife in his palm.

"Now we're safe, the general's rewards are known? Go ahead, take the silver and the armor!"
