372. The Fire Ship Is Coming [2/2]

The shells shuttled between the flying Dutchman and the Midburg, and instantly brought a large piece of wood chips. The power of more than 20 naval guns was really extraordinary. The decks on both sides were severely damaged. Yi Yun was actually very nervous. Although he could transfer to the fourth-level "Tiger Guard" and had excellent defense, the second-level "artillery" had an attack power of more than two-level levels. It should not be too easy to kill a fourth-level. If a stray bullet flew to him, he would have to finish even if he was "turtle defense".

So Yi Yun kept staring in front of him carefully. If any shells flew over, he planned to hold Chen Yuanyuan and roll and dodge him as soon as possible. The 32nd father-in-law also showed his profession, the fourth-level "eunuch" and planned to take Zhu Qingqing to dodge with his light skills at any time. His professional skill "Evil-repelling Sword Technique" can make his body skills extremely fast, just like a ghost. It is not too difficult to avoid shells flying from afar. (I remember how fast it was when Lin Pingzhi and Yue Buqun used the evil-repelling Sword Technique!)

However, everyone was lucky. The shells did not fly towards them, and most of them hit the side. Occasionally, a few of them flew to the deck and all hit the middle of the hull. Yi Yun then understood why the captain liked to stand at the bow of the ship, because it was not easy to get shot here.

After the bombardment was over, the ship began to leave the right rudder. Yi Yun quickly checked the results of the battle. When he saw it, he was immediately happy. Although he had suffered a serious injury, the Dutch was injured more severely. The main reason was that the red cannon of 10,000 kilograms was more powerful than the Firang machine cannon. It opened a huge hole in the other party's hull with one shot.

The huge hole was opened in the middle of the other party's tummy. A large cabin was penetrated, and it seemed that it was the crew's lounge. After being smashed by shells, the things in the lounge were exposed, including thick bedding and some paper pieces scattered. The shells also smashed the crew's small bed for rest. The legs and bed boards were also scattered. I don't know whose underwear was not packed and hung on a wooden board and floating.

Yi Yun secretly praised it for a long time. If the crew lounge on his side was blown open, then it would be Coke.

I am old because there are many women on my side, and the artillery soldiers are all women. If the lounge is blasted open, what floats out will not be underwear, but bellybands.

As soon as the bellyband floats on the battlefield, the face of the Da Mengguo will be lost.

"***, I will order them not to wear bellybands when they turn around!" Yi Yun said fiercely.

"My husband, which woman is there any idea? You are not allowed to wear a bellyband?" Chen Yuanyuan reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Yi Yun's waist and pinched it hard.

"I'm dizzy, I don't have the idea of ​​any woman!" Yi Yun shouted injustice.

At this time, Putsman was already dizzy by the cannons, and he didn't understand why so many artillery soldiers suddenly appeared in the Da Meng Kingdom? They must be elite soldiers like the Shenji Camp. Yes, they must be elite soldiers. There will definitely be no more artillery soldiers in the ship behind them!

The ship following behind was Yiyun's Huberian and Li Huamei's lucky ship... All the above were artillery soldiers, which were not inferior to the fighting spirit and artillery fire of the Westerners, and instantly knocked down Putmans' elite conception.

Behind are the other heroes of Fengyun Shibazhi. Although there are not many artillery soldiers on their ships, there are always one or two, either from the West, from Fusang, or from Persia. There is actually another man with Turkish artillery on his ship, which is simply a variety of things and strange.

This main battle line was equal to the eight Dutch Gallion sailing ships, and both sides were washed from head to toe by artillery fire. The warships were covered with pits and broken wood, and more than a dozen cannon doors were overturned by the opponent's cannon, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

If there is only this battle line on the Da Meng Country side, then the Dutch don’t need to be nervous, because the match is equal, but... Da Meng Country is not just this little ship, but also a large number of small battle lines composed of pirate ships are eyeing each other. If the Dutch continues to fight with the main battle line on the Da Meng Country side, when they are injured, the surrounding pirate ships will make them look good.

"Damn it, don't fight against such a battle line!" Putmans screamed: "Mobile, use our speed advantage to gain the upper hand! Take the most favorable maneuver position before fighting!"

Seize the upper hand!

This is a very important science in the naval battle in the sailing era. At that time, there were two naval battle tactics, one called the upper wind tactics and the other called the lower wind tactics. Of course, this book is not a series of popular science knowledge for naval battles. I cannot explain it in detail here. I can only briefly talk about why Putmans used the upper wind tactics.

During naval battles, if your fleet grabs the upper hand, the wind can make you sail towards your opponent quickly, but it will interfere with your opponent's sail towards you. The result is that the upper hand can choose the opportunity to fight at will, and do not fight when you are unhappy and fight when you show your flaws. It can form a favorable situation when choosing the attack method. Of course, there are also disadvantages to doing this, but I will not discuss it here.

In short, Putmans decided to seize the advantage of the advantage with the speed of the Gallion sailing ship.

Yi Yun saw Putmans' fleet snatching it upwards, but the warship on the side was not as fast as possible and could not be stopped. He couldn't help but think in his heart: What will Zheng Zhilong do at this time?

Zheng Zhilong took out a conch and started whining.

With the sound of conchs, boats began to emerge from the islands in all directions, with a large number, all over the sky and the sea. The boats hiding among the reefs and grass, and the shadows of the islands were like ants, passing out from all directions and surrounding the middle of the battlefield.

Most of these small boats were rowing for two people, and many of them were rowing for three people, or even twelve people. The boats not only carried people, but also carried some cloth bags. God knows what they were inside. However, the boats were too small and they could not hold any great things. Since these small boats were pouring out from all directions, even if the Dutch grabbed the upper hand, they would inevitably be surrounded by these small boats.

"These boats are useless!" Putmans smiled arrogantly: "For such a small boat, our Gallion sailboat can only be sent to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish with a slight impact."

The boat approached the Dutch, Putmans did not order the artillery, because using cannons to hit such a small boat was simply a mosquito. Even professional artillerymen could not accurately hit him. He did not order the fleet to change its course to avoid these small boats. Just kidding, would the huge Gallion sailboat be afraid of these small boats? He just waved his hand and ordered: "Gunsling soldiers, get on the side of the boat, be on the side of the boat, and use muskets to attack!"

The boats rushed to the vicinity of Gallion's sailboat, and some of the boats began to shoot rockets. The "Bowmen" also had a range of 200 meters and could engage in a certain fire confrontation with the gunmen. Due to the large number of small boats, there were also a large number of archers on them. A large number of rockets flew up and poured down towards the Dutch's warship. The Dutch immediately used the musket to fight the colors, and the two sides engaged in a fierce close battle, but it was obvious that the Dutch were condescending and the muskets against the bows and arrows, which took a considerable advantage. Many pirates were shot and fell into the sea, causing heavy losses.

Putmans began to be proud again, and he laughed twice: "I just said that monkeys can't win civilization."

He laughed dryly and suddenly realized something was wrong. Among the many small boats, some small boats finally rushed to the front of the Gallion sailboat with the cover of bows and arrows. They were not hit and sunk like Putmans thought, but instead gave in. Before they could hit, they threw out the hook and hooked the hull to the side of the Gallion sailboat.

"What are you doing? You have to jump to help? The side of the small boat and the big boat is a few meters higher than the distance up and down the city wall. Can you get it?" Putmans wondered.

The pirates on the boat suddenly opened the cloth bags on the boat. It turned out that there were flammable items inside. They ignited the cloth bags, causing the boat to burn. The flames jumped up, not only swept the boat into the red lotus, but also wrapped in flames with the huge hull of the Dutch sailing ship.

The Dutch sailing boat's plate is very thick. After being wrapped in a fire, it will not burn for a while, but it will soon be roasted to burn black. If this fire continues, even the thick hull of the Dutch sailing boat will inevitably catch fire.

"Are they crazy? Light the boat, they will die by themselves?" Putmans was really shocked.

"Your Excellency, look..." The Dutch soldiers shouted together, and the pirates who set fire to light the boat suddenly jumped into the sea of ​​sand. If the human body fell into the sea of ​​sand, it would be torn to pieces by the sand soon. However, these pirates were not torn apart. They actually swam in the sand. The Dutch soldiers wanted to hit them with muskets, but they simply stabbed them down and snorted...

Putmans' eyes almost fell out of his sockets: "This... this is impossible! It's so amazing!"

"Your Excellency..." The translator on the ship shouted: "That is a special clothing made by the second-level armored merchant in the Great Mandarin. It is called a bass skin water. Sand bass is a strange creature with extremely powerful defense ability. If you wear the clothes made of its leather, you can swim in the sand..."

"Oh, my god! This is simply amazing." Putmans always thought that Western whites were the smartest race in the world and had the most advanced civilization. However, after seeing the sea-skinned clothes made by skilled craftsmen in the cute country, he realized that the world is full of wonders. Underestimating a civilization that has been nurtured for thousands of years, one must pay the price for his willingness.

"What should I do with the fireboat, Your Excellency?"
